(Kilt afauntg gl(lu0(ate Henry A. Parsons, Jr. Editor THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1873. Letter Trom Florida. Jacksonville, Fla., May 24, 1873. Dbar Advocate. The "merry month of May," aa you see, is well-nigh spent. The' month opened with the time-honored1 custom of May-partios, and "Queen of the May" coronations; and her little majesties the "Queens of the May are quite numerous hereabouts j net now. Our'eity is looking forward to a time, in the not distant future, of prosperity and rapid growth. Any one taking a cursory riew of the situation of Jack sonville cannot avoid the conclusion that at no distant day it is destined to take rank among the chief seaports of our Atlantio seaboard. It is situated twenty five miles from the mouth of the St. Johns river and the Atlantic ocean, and is the central point in the State for shipping to the North and the foreign markets of the world. Nothing then, hut the apathy of its population can re tard its growth, and so far as our people are concerned, though not rich, yet they are of the kind that build up waste places and make deserts blossom; the kind of people that made our great Western wilds bloom as the rose and gave to the world euch villages .as Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Other village of like note in an almost incredibly short time." But it may be that you are ready to ask just here, "what reason have yoo for supposing that Jacksonville, Florida, will, at no distant day, be a city of more than mag nificent distance??" You should bo J I . reaay aiways, 10 give a reason lor your expectations. Well, to our answer: First, the location of the place and the enterpiise of its people, as referred to, Nature has pointed out the place just as she has the locations of tho old and the new, the ancient and the modern world, There is not now a city of com mercial importance in the world that began its career of city existance under more favorable auspices than the city of Jacksonville. Nature has fully and effectually done her work in the loca tion, while oar people are determined fo take advantage of the work so com plettly done by nature. But it may be said "there is no work ing capital there, and without capital there can be no results;" the reverse of this is the verdict of history. The old adage, "where there is a will there is way," is demonstrated in tie existence of every city on tho globe, nature first faying the foundation of every great eity, and the determined will or man finding the way for the full development of what nature has begun. Capital never has, and cannot in the nature of the case, build up and make great cities. If this were so, there would not be a city of any magnitude on the globe to day. Capital is the effect of a cause; the cause being nature in the beginning, the energy of man co-operatioir with nature a result is reached, and that re sult is capital. New York, Philadel phia, Boston, Brooklin, St, Louis, and other great cities of this and other countries now have capital, not so, how ever, in the beginning. Now there is do good reason for supposing that the people of Jacksonville, now building on nature's foundation, differ in any way from those who began and built on like foundations where New York now stauds, we may reasonably expect similar re sults. Again every city is great or small in proportion to the foundations kid by nature, no more, no less. Our seoond reason for the hope that is within us as to the future of Jacksonville, is the presence of tlje St. Johns river, one of the noblest on this continent. This, however, might be more properly termed the firstly of our one and only reason, to wit: the natural lookout. This noble river drains a region of country, which, for soil and products of soil, is excelled by no other of like area on the face of the earth, and with its tributaries is navigable for nearly one thousand miles. This river rises in the cypress swamps, and is direotly navigable three hundred and five miles above Jacksonville or three hundred and thirty miles above its junction with the ocean. One hun dred miles above this city the Ockla waha is navigable for steamers a distance of more than one hundred and seventy five miles above its junction with the St. Johns, in a southwesterly direction. The great orange, lemon, banana, fig, eoooa-nut and guava region of the In dian river now and ever must, make the St. Johns river thoir highway to the markets of the world with the luscious products of their soil. The distance between the St. Johns and Indian rivers at the nearest point of approach is from six to ten miles and oan he easily united by canal. You have doubtless seen the acoount, and made note of the proceedings of a Convention of Western Congressmen at St. Louis recently. Well the men of that convention en roe together without regard to party, and, strange to say, they did not say a word about the fitness of any one for President, or any position in the political field; not even a word about the Louisiana and Arkansas muddles; but they were busy, nevertheless, - dis easing a topio just now very interesting to every one, but the Western ind Northwestern farmers are especially in terested, and what do you think that topio was? Why, really, it was the transportation of grain to our Eastern markets. Railroad companies, you knew, havo a queer way of charging farmers three fourths the valuo of farm products for transportation,-that is, if the farmer can get 81.00 per bushel for his wheal these accommodating railroad companies charge seventy-five cents per bushel for carrying it to New It ork or some otber Jbastern market. Well, when these Congressmen met they dis cussed the practicability and feasibility of being independent of railroads as a means of transportalion for the farmer and the manufactures, or use them only n proportion as they abandon the grab- all scheme they have now so wisely (in their estimation no doubt) laid. Ihere is a routo now projected tbat will ac complish this result, and is known here as the Atlantio and Gulf Coast Canal, extending from Lako Pochartrain along the Gulf coast behind the reefs to the Chatahoochie river in Florida, thence across the State of Florida to the St. Johns river at Jacksonville. The work of makina this canal will consist of not more -than eighty miles canal digging and about sixty miles dredging, at a cost of not more than six millions of dollars. Thus a canal for the largest Mississippi steamers and grain barges to make con tinuous trips from St, Louis and the West and Northwestern agricultural districts to the Atlantic coast, without breaking bulk, and afford the farmer the facilities for transporting his grain to our eastern markets at a cost not ex ceeding eight cents per bushel. To this work the Granges or Farmer's Associa tion of the West and Northwest, the Mississippi Grain Barge Company are pledged, leinforccd by a foreign com pany that to-day can command sixty millions of dollars. This work is fixed fact, and its completion not far down the future. This great work com pleted, and the grain and stock pro ducers of the West, and the cotton and sugar producers of the South an Southwest come together concentrating at this poiDt vho fruits of their toil, to find their way out by means ot ocean steamers io the markets ot the world. An expenditure of a few thousand dollars will put eighteen feet of water on the St. Johns bar at the mouth of the river at low tide, making the river navi gable for the largest vessels, steam or sail, that run the ocean. But more by and by Should you feel interested io the tem perature of our Florida weather I would say that the thermometer is only at 04 Fareheit. Yours truly, Q in the Corner.
