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

Should you feel interested io the tem
perature of our Florida weather I would
say that the thermometer is only at 04
