THE MEMBERS of the ex-Confederate
camps in Florida, like the most OF
those in Virginia, have constantly with
them such reminders of the results of
Appomattox, that they have no desire
TO be taxed to embellish that place for
the delectatiou of Northern tourists,
who, when viewing it, would felicitate
each other, and say this is the place
where we crushed treason and stamp
ed out rebellion" AS Northern repub-
licans have a majority in Congress,
they may purchase Appomatto1 and
make park of it, if the owners will
sell it; but the motives of the ex-Con-
federate who may have any parton lot
in it, if good, will not be appreciated.

It has been likened by most critical judges to Lake Como of Switzer- land, Lake Windemore in England, and Loch Katherine in Scotland, three of the most beautiful lakes in the world. These lakes were also the scene of the most terrific battles of the Revolution. Mem- ories of Ethen Allen, Arnold, Mont calm, Abercrombie, Howe and Gates on every hand.
