Editor Pratt, of the Palatka Herald,
has been seaside sojourning near the
mouth Of the ST. Johns. The jetty work
for deepening the channel has been under
his eye, and We subioin what he has to
say, and which is the first reference of the
press, so far as we have noted, after a
long interval to this important subject.
We agree with him that little interest
seems to be felt in the matter of improv-
ing the mouth of the river. We presume
that Jacksonville has small ambition at
merce, satisfied for the time if the bar
will admit the coasting craft that feed
her magnificent fleet of river steamers
with the freights of her merchants Pros
porous in the commerce she has, she can
afford to wait the slow, but we trust
sure, operations that will eventually per-
feet the harbor Says the Herald:
Our people the river feel much interest
IN the success of the jeties now being made
on the 81. Johns bar. The whole matter
is simple. 1t is nothing but an embankment
thrown up to confine the current of water into a
channel. The flood and ebb tide from the ocean
and the st. Johns river make a strong current.
The jctiies now being built, one wing running
souheas, from the shore, and the other south
west from the opposite point, has made a new
channel which according to a late report admits
of vessels drawing thirteen and half feet at
high water II is evident that this jetiy system
AT the mouth Of our great river will be success
ful if carried out. But il will require Il large APP
preparation to complete This necessary and i'm
portant enterprise Gen. Lomax. now engaged
in the engineering of this work, is a practical
man. He is at his post at all times, and is an in
deiatigable worker. The General SAYS that the
mattresses and rocks laid in one place had sunk
twenty five feet, and in other places we noticed
that the under stratum was not solid, causing a
depression here and there in the jetlies which
had to be filled up. Upon subject so important
| to our interests on the st. Johns river, and in
fact all the adj acent counties on the river there
seems t" he bnt little interest felt. On great
! commercial future will depend very much upon
the success of our jeiiy system. The duty OF
the government to keep open and improve our
sea coast harbOr is admitted. We trust that our
delegation in Congress will see TO it that in
trresis in this respect are not neglected.

The Times-DemOcraf.

The latest enterprise of the great South
ern daily was to send commissioners to
simultaneously interview the Governors
of all the Southern States as to their po-
litical, financial, industrial, social, educa-
tional, etc, conditions These interviews
were printed in the sixteen page issue Of
the Times Democrat of the LIST instant,
aud the result is a volume of valuable in
formation. In a work Of such scope,
however, some mistakes must needs be-
For instance it is stated that Florida
owns over ten million acres of lands,
when it would have been more exact to
say that she has patents for about SIX
million seven hundred thousand acres,
and that there are about seven million
acres more, Of swamp lsnds, that will
come to the State under the act of 1850
when they are surveyed and patented.
1t is somewhat important to make this
correction, but there are other errors to
which we need not refer. We shall ex-
tract literally from the interview for the
Exposition Edition of the FLoRIDIAN next
week.

B. +. Colley, Esq, senior editor of
the Leesburg Ne'cs, writes thus of ITALIA
hassee in an interesting narrative of a re-
cent trip through the country:
left Pensacola on the evening OF the 10Th
and arrived in Tallahassee the morning of the
2Oth. TO term this city as beautiful is little
exaggrating, though | think one great draw back
to the appearance of the town is the many d.
lapidated places The city is dependent upon a
farming country and has experienced many re-
verses during the past in the way of short crops
and fires. But everything is now Frightening,
and there is every confidence in the future pros.
perity of The town. The situation is among the
hills and the large stately live oaks, festOoned
with long gray Spanish moss, and some palatal
residences and other buildings lend an attraction
