errEja4E l PELPHIA N. Y. Itutium,
August 22, 1868:
My Southern.tour came to 'rather an ab
rupt conclusions Adiiees by telegraph at
•, • •
m
Jacksonville,Florida, , led me tomake the
effort to reach the bedside- of a brother at
Memphis, Tenn., in time to see him die. In
this I failed. They told me he died,"cling
•
tag to Jams," four days before my arrival.
In traveling under such circumstances of
baste and anxiety, one has but little time
and less heart for writing. My letter,there
, fore, will have to be retrospective and sum
mary in its character.
I think you last heard from Me at Talla
hassee. --The Florida Legislature was then
in session. -.Many; of the members being
scarcely acclimated; • were suffering in
health, andlhe whole body were anxious to
be relieved from public duty as soon as the
interests of the Btate would tultnit. lam
Inclined to. think that this :Legislature has
- the confidence and regard of the people at
large to a greater extent than most others of
those cenetittited under the reconstruction
acts. A gentlemen whilse interestN very
extensive, are all in:l/Oiledthe.Stete t and ;
who hadallunilent -. opportunitiegite inform
hizaself;told me the members appeared to
, regard Florida; as. their home; even when
their residence there bad heen..a very brief
one, and that they were moving intelligent
• ly to promote her wealth and prosperity.,
•
It begratifying to me to bear testimony to
the'general gobd 'feeling prevailing between_
the Freedmen' and 'their • old mestere: The
negro has strong__attachments tb the
• men and, places ,that,arnassodittedi:_with
long ,ago. He, never. wearies. of recalling
the Incidents : other day te• and if you have
been tested from- him' a few years, he
- will reinenlber mere abbut you, perbaps, -
_ than you do yourself. My most 'enthusias-•
idcweldl - htell along the , trip have been at the
handa of Warm hearted servants, griteful
to have their faithful attendance in sickness .
and health remembered and acknowledged.
God pity their ipexperience and - weakness.
of judgment, aid give them wisdom and
strength of virtuous purpose. • • , •
How do the freedmen work? is a . ques-•
tion to which Eon will get such a va riety of
summers that itle discouraging to attempt to
give tbe mean result. I have rarely, how
!vex found a man who has not been willing
admit that, all things considered,
they are doing much better than any of us
would have supposed. Those are doing ,
best "who live on the best terms with 'their
- old masters or white neighbors, getting
from them the counsel they so much need
in all matters or business. I was delighted
to see bow' trustfully they resort - to their
white acquaintances in their embarrassments
and distreises. It/would be strange, mdse
if this kindnesse f feeling were not., in some
measure, reciprocated. or coarse,
as I have
already in substance intimated, there are
very many exceptions to both* these general
statements: There are evil-Minded or un
reasonable white men, and there are weak
minded and vicious :negroes -in numbers
enough to givelcolor to sweeping generaliz.a-'
lions la the direction of either_extreme.
So far as I was concerned, I felt in Flori-:
da as secure, from violence as, in any other
part of the country, and that is now the gen
eral feeling. I heard complaints in Geor-•
gia, near Macon; of the lawlessness of the
negroes, and .scene of them were unques
tionably well grounded, but.they were such
as, from the very nature of-the case, must
be soon suppressed. I do not -know Gov. •
••Bullock either as a gentleman or politician,
but his - connections and antecedents give
me omfidence in the honesty of his purpose
to seek the peace and solid welfare.of the
Empire State of the South. "
I was - iirtereate.ci and pleased, while riding
- through Alabama, with a conversation I
-- overheard in the sleeping coach between
three Alabamians "of degree." One' was a
venerable ju d g e, another had fought for "the
lost •cauee" as a General. the other Was art •
intelligent young' lawer. I shall quote, in'
imbstance, some remarks upon which they
all agreed. "Did you attend the exam ine tion of one of these negro , schools 4 It
astonishing what they are doing. There
never was a greater mistake made than the.
coolv system of labor that is urged upon us
by some of our people. There Isnot in the

"A man in Tennessee gave me a good

:Our Federal Tates - .
The annexed quotation from the ' recert
speech of Senator • Sherman,' at Hillsboro,
Ohio, is. worth reading and remembering.
He says
,
The income tax on all incomes over $1;000
is the fairest tai on the list, and from` this
source we received $36.000,000. Of this
tax '
last.year Ohlopaid $1,549,328, byl9,
618 persons, out of a population of. nearly
Three millions. The National Banks pay
to the ,tufted States as taxes $10,00 . 0,000 4
'besides paying; an' equal =Omit to the
Stites. .We levy a tit on certain employ
mente, commonly known as a licenselax,
which yields us $20,000,000. We> levy a
stamp tax, mostly on commercial paper,
and nearly all of which is paid in the cities.
and this yields us $17,000,000. We levy a
tax on railroads and other corporations,
which yields us $7,000,000, and other mis.
cellaneous taxes-, such as billiard tables, gold
and silver plate, Curiages, &c., which yield
us $5,000,C00. These taxes will yield us this
year, $95,000,000, and all, or nearly all of
them may be repealed as the extraordinary,
expenditure growing out of the war dimin 7
ishes.
Now, fellow-citizens,it is for you to say
whether the Democratic party is likely to
improve upon this system of taxation and
finance. Will they devise a system of taxes,
yielding so large a sum, that will fall more
lightly and equally upon the people than
we have done? , Will they devise a cheaper
system ? The entire actual expense of
collecting $263;349.261'0f internal revenue,
last year, was V 4712,089. or 'only 2,92 per
cent.—less than three per cent. This is a
less penentege of cost than for collecting the
customs, or for collecting the city or local
taxes ofany city, State or county in the
Union. It is likely the Democratic party
will seduce your expenditures, or manage .
more wisely your public debt ? On the con
trary, when the rebels by their agency, are
restored to their old power, infinite demands
'will be made on the (kivernment, and with
certain success."
A Vineyard on Every Farm.
It is an easy matter for the majority o
farmers to provide ample supplies of wine
for their household use at a comparatively
trifling cost. A half acre in each hundred
of cultivated land, set with vines of hardy
varieties, would be sufficient, if well cared
for,_to furiesh both fruit and, ine for the
number of people occupying : on the aver
age; that. area. In any neighborhood or
locality whim a solitary vine does well, it
is certain that enough o.hers will thrive to
supply, the wants of the.population.
Let every farmer have•his vineyard, as
well as his orchard, not planted with a view
to selling its products, but to consuming
them in his own family. It la pretty safe to
assert that where apple trees will flourish,
some varieties of grapes will do tolerably
well alongside of them. The manufacture
of wine for home use should be conducted
almost precisely like that of cider. Have
..._ h _ .
th fruit ripe and clean; mash it and press
(
ut t e u r_ice-without care. Let it ferment
, ew days, lik4 good cider, then rack it,
/ rause the casks and refill them. Bung
tight and rack again early in the spring,
and the third time on the approach of het
weather. Have sound, sweet casks, keep
them full, and store in a clean, cool cellar,
and your beverage will excel in grateful
flavor and healthful, exhilerating effects;
when the hard labor and hot suns of sum.
mer tempt its trial. It is as easy and simple
to make good wine as good cider. The
yield of wine would probably average four
_hundred gallons per acre from well culti
vated vineyards of strong, hardy varieties
like the Concord, Ives and Clinton.
The Drooplug Ears el Animals.
Oar domesticated gnadrupcis are all de
