ensue as a natural consequence in four or
hve years. Col. Burr made many inquir-
les OF me relative to the county Of WASH
ington, particularly the state OF its militia,
its strength, arms, accoutrements, and the
character of its officers, These converse
tons continued some time, beside other
things which / can not recollect, because l
did not expect to be called on in this way.
After travelling some miles we met one of
my workmen; well looking Young man.
Col. Burr said he wished he had 10000
such fellows. At my fathers table, during
dinner, Col. Burr again observed that the
separation Of the union must take place
inevitably in less than five years.
THE WARNING.
81 recollect that Il was my father who
answered him: God forbid Col. Burr,
in the course OF conversation at the din
ner table, observed that with 200 men he
could drive the President and Congress
into the Potomac, and with 400 or 500 he
could take possession Of the city of New
York. After dinner he walked with me
to my brothers, about one mile distant,
and in the course OF the walk spoke OF
military men, and asked me il either of
my brothers had military turn. He said
he should like TO sec my brother George
at the head OF a corps OF grenadiers. He
was fine, stout looking fellow. These
circumstances induced me TO speak TO my
father | warned him 10 beware OF Col.
Burr, and told him that in the course OF
that night Col Burr would attempt to have
an interview with him, and would make
requisition OF my brother Tom TO go with
him, and that | suspected something was
going on, but what did not know. The
next morning rode with Col. Burr to the
town of Washington, about nine miles dis
tant We had good deal OF conversation,
principally on military affairs; the necessi-
~ Of attending to discipline. He told me
the effect ii had in New York. The mill
tia there were in good order, which was
brought about by the influence and exer-
ton Of a single individual. Col. Swartwout.
Col, Burr asked me if | thought | could
raise a Regiment in Washington county, or
whether ] could raise one with more faCil-
ity in New Jersey.
AT Washington we took a walk Col.
Burr, Col. Dupeister and myself, down the
town, and pointed out TO him the house
in which Mr.. Bradford lived He was
away, but his son was at home, and Col.
Burr expressed a wish TO see him. Col.
Burr mentioned TO me that he had met
with several who had been engaged in the
western instruction, and particularly
major in the northwestern territory,
whose name | do not recollect, that IL he
were ever engaged in another business OF
the kind he pledged himself IL would not
end without bloodshed. Ii was ON this

DOTS FROM DELAND.
Oranges Ripening Early-A Chance
for Savannah Fish Dealers


DELAND, FLA, Oct. 10-Oranges are
ripening one month earlier than usual, and
the quality is very fine. There is a large
crop in Volusia county. One person has
sold his crop of 10000 boxes at 81 per box,
in the grove, and many others offer theirs
at the same rate. Some handsome houses
have been erected the past year; among
them, one by J. B. Stetson, the great hat
manufacturer, of Philadelphia Mr.. Stet-
son has about 100 acres in orange trees, and
is giving them the best Of care. He is
spending money literally, and is much be-
loved by the people for his charitable and
other acts that befit man of his wealth.
De Land is now the county seat of Volusia
county, and business is very brisk, the
stores are all occupied, and more buildings
are required.
There has not been case of yellow fever
in the county, although a number of ref
ugees from jacksonville came into 1t on the
breaking out of the fever.
Politics in county affairs are much mixed
up. Democrats, republicans and mug
wumps will vote for those they think the
best men. 1t is regular ''go-as-y please"
race.
j. II. Faulkner, the county clerk, died
last week of apop.exy. He was a faithful
and competent officer. This will alter the
democratic ticket, as a new nomination will
be necessary.
Numbers of our citizens have been SC
anxious to return from the north that they
have run the quarantine, and been conf rcd
ten days. Dozens more are waiting for g
chance to come down for the winter sea
son, but are afraid to pass through NORTH
| ern Florida, for fear a microbe may hi
| them.
The month just closed was the coolest
| September known for years. October is de
lightful SO far.

NOTES FROM STARKE.
A Wedding-The Fever-Condition OF
of the Crops.


STARKE. FLA, Oct. S.-Tne topic of con-
versation for the past few weeks has been
the marriage between w. n. Meacham,
formerly of Wilmington, Del, but for a
number of years one of our most solid citi-
zens, and Miss Emma c. Hogun, formerly
of Okalona, Miss, hut for the past two
years resident Of Sta Ike, young lady OF
decided literary talents, late editress and
proprietress of the East Florida Courier.
This happy marriage was consummatet last
Thursday evening at the Methodist Episco-
pal church, SOUTH Rev. MIR. Giles officiat-
ing. The church was beautifully decorated
by the following young ladies: Misses Liz
Zie Sparkman, Fannie Powell, Belle Rich

Starke, so far, has escaped the yellow
fever, and the health of the town is good
Mr.. 5. j. Temple, residing at Temples
mills, one and a half miles from Starke, is
convalescing from a case of yellow fever. 1t
IS said that he contracted the disease at
Fernandina. This has been the only case in
Bradford county, and none others are likely
to occur, as we have strict quarantine
against all infected points.
Cotton is beginning to come in with
rush, and as fire crops were made this year,
Savannah may expect hundreds OF bales
from this point.
Fernandina is generous. About Aug.
fears at that place were entertained OF q
negro uprising and call was made upon
the governor for state troops, and volun-
teers were urgently entreated to come and
lend assistance About ten of our boys in
the dead of midnight calamity responded to
the call for help and went to Fernandina,
where they stood guard duty for two
nights, neglecting their business and risking
their lives, as it is asserted yellow fever was
then in that place. Now, over a month
later, comes bill for board.
