The stcamor ChcsancaEc.

The steamer Chesapeake ran up to
Adams wharf yesterday about 2 p. n, as
announced in THE News, exactly four
hours and thirty-seven minutes after
leaving Jacksonville To our reporter
Ca, tan z. f. Maddy, master, was e.
pecially kind, and we were enabled to
make careful inspection Of the new
candidate for popular favor. The Chesa-
peake is 1873 feet long, the beam is 90 feet
and she is 80 feet wide over all. She
draws p feet light and five when fully
loaded, SO that in draft she IS admirably
suited for our river. Her cabin is 40
feet long, and her staterooms all open on
both the deck and saloon. She has the
regulation build Of the Mississippi boats
and the Texas is fitted up for the &C
commodation OF her officers. She is not
yet one year old, and has been plying
/ regularly between Cincinnati and Pitts
burgh, on the Ohio river. In making
her run yesterday between Jacksonville
and paiatka, it should be remembered
! that she burned coal and that her fur.
naces have not yet been adapted to the
consumption Of wood. She will lay of
for some two weeks for thorough re
furnishing, and will then ply the river
regularly between Palatka and Jackson
vile by daylight. While not so hand
somely or extensively fitted up as som,
steamers OF the DeBary-Baya line, sh,
will be thoroughly comfortable, and vii
carry immense freights. She left abou
3 o'clock, but will visit us regularly be
fore many days. She is entirely indie
! pendent.

Rubber Trees in Florida.

The Indian River Sun speaks Of rubber
trees on the lower end Of Merritt's Island.
The writer has seen much of the country
bordering on Indian river. and has long
and intimate knowledge of the Wild
hooks and deep forests on its banks; but
he has never seen the rubber tree else
where than on Merritt's Island. Almost
directly east from Rockledge, between
Newfound Harbor and Banana river,
stood two fine specimens Of this strange
tree. The bark is thick and yellow, soft
and feshy in appearance, the foliage
scanty, and the branches terminate alb
ruptly. The whole tree looks cruelty
bare and void Of grace, and to the he
holder appears suffering. One specimen
stands on the river shore alone. and we
thought its forlorn appearance due tothe
fierce winds which beat and bruised its
soft bark But we afterwards found an
other buried in the hammock, presenting
the same tortured look We cleared q
space around and cultivated the soil, but
it limo way showed its appreciation Of
what we meant for kindness. Within a
few feet of it, other trees were overrun
with creepers, but no loving vines COW
cred its trunk or lent its bright foliage TO
hide the scanty adornment Of the rubber
tree. Stanley says that the savages OF
Africa hang on these trees the skulls
taken in war, and we have seen draw
ings showing the knobbed branches stuck
full Of heads. To this purpose it is ad-
mirably adapted; but as no such use
will be found for them i'll Florida, it is
probably in accordance with the eternal
fitness OF things that they are so rare in
our State. There was still another SPEC.
linen on the low-lying islands north Of
Sailors Snug Harder, on Banana river
but it has long been dead. and now shows
only the skeleton of a large tree. We
often wished to cut mo one, that we
might examine the thick milky sap, but
was always deferred by the feeling that
the tree would euGer Grievously if VS.
did.
