This will permit the passage of numerous deserving bills which otherwiee could not be reached. ‘TE Fonpixe Bitt.—The House Committee on Ways and Means, this morning, had a gen- eral discussion on the funding bill, but did not go into the detaits of the measure. The discus- sion, thus far, shows quite a diversity of opinion among the members of the committee in regard to the main features ot the bill. ‘THE Line AND Starr oF THE Navy Brit.— The House Committee on Naval Affairs yester- day agreed to amend the Line and Staff of the Navy bill so as to increase the number of Lieu- tenants to two hundred, and reduce the number of Lieutenant Commanders to eighty; also, to al- low five thousand dollars to the inventor of the torpedo boat that destroyed the rebel ram Albe- marie. GEN. BUTLER got leave of absence for eight days, commencing with to-day, and started for Massachusetts last night. Unfortunately for him, there was a call of the House last night after he left, and a summons has been sent for him to come back and answer for his absence. As he has an important case to attend to at Taunton on Tuesday, it is hardly probable that he will come. SEcRETARY BovTWELL AND THE MUNCIPAL ELEcTION.—Some of our city politicians have lately attempted to induce Secretary Boutwell to declare his preference for one or the other of the Republican aspirants for the Mayoralty, and by so doing influence the Clerks in the ‘Treasury Department, but the Secretary per- emptorily and very properly declines to inter- fere, and expresses.the hope that a good Ke- publican will be elected. IMPORTATION OF SMALLrox PROBIBITED.— Information having been received at the War Department that a large number of buftalo robes, obtained from Indians who had been suf- fering with smallpox, which robes were un- doubtedly infected with the virus, were packed with a view to early shipment from some of tie trading posts on the upper Missouri, instructions have been given to the commanders of military posts on the river to prevent the shipment, or the passage of any boat containing infected peltries by their posts. “GRACE GREENWOOD” ( Mrs.Lippincott) seems to be achieving a great success at the North asa lecturer. The papers of Connecticut, where she has beenalelivering her capital “Indoors” lec- ture, speak very enthusiastically of it, and of the lecturer. Even the sedate Hartford Courant bas been won by our brilliant Grace, and tells of ‘the varying play of emotions on the hand- some face, with the clear cut profile, and the great gray eyes, one moment melting with pity and pathos, and the next dancing with fan and mischief.” ‘The Norwich Bulletin speaks of the lecture as admirable in thought and delivery, and as ‘‘well calculated to strike dismay into the heartsof all believers in the intellectual inferi- ority of women.” Another paper thinks that “no lady leeturer in the country 60 completely annibilates the prejudices against women lec- turers as Mrs. Lippincott,” and yet another de- scribes her as ‘‘a grand looking woman, in the full prime of her womanhood, who seems her own best argument for the cause she pleads.” TE CHARGES AcaInst Gen.

DEAR STaR:—Leaving Beaufort we steame through the channels by which we had entered, and coasted along the shore toward Fernandina. keeping some thirty-five miles from land. Th: numerous inlets on that portion of the coast con- tain excellent harbors, and one needs cruise in thig manne? to appreciate the very importan: nature of the work confided to the United State~ Coast Survey, and the efficient manner in which it is executed. The vast outline of coast po:- sessed by the nation, the great number an: variety of inlets, shoals, reefs, &c., render th: labor Of mapping out channels for the facilita- tion of commerce of immense value and im- portance. The charts established by the sur- vey are relied on implicitly by all mariners who navigate these waters, and we had an instance, under our own observation, of a pilot who, al- though engaged for years in taking boats into Fernandina, yet steered his vessel entirely by the chart, and without any reliance upon his previous knowledge. Brunswick, on this coast, possesses great nat- ural advantages as 4 commercial depot for the shipment of the staple products of this section Blessed with one of the finest harbors in the world, and with a railroad connection pene- trating into the heart of the cotton region and connecting with all the main lines, its interests owned and controlled by capitalists of resources and energy, there are not a few who predict that it will im time become the Liverpool of America. One thing is certain, that most of the business men of the South anticipate the establishment of some new port on the coast, which shall have all the natural advantages necessary to its de- velopment, and which will in time eclipse all the present points of traffic. My own belief is that this idea is correct; that with it will spring Up manufactures fer coarse goods, and that within twenty years a very large proportion of the exports will be manufactured articles. All that is necessary to effect this desirable result is the influx of a proper emigration—not the ele- ment known as ‘‘carpet-baggers,” whose only object is to secure office, by imposing upen the credulity and exciting the passions of the col- ored race, but men of capital, thrift, and energy, who will select a new place, far from the traditions and prejudices which hamper all the old cities, and there build a commercial center greater than any of which the South has ever dreamed. As Simeon of old looked for the coming of the Messiah, so do these people leok for a movement of so much importance to their interests. Of the many towns of this description which it has been our lot to visit, Fernandina is the quietest, laziest and meanest looking—a mere heap of white sand interspersed with a few strag- gling houses. The whole place bears an air of lanquor, a don’t care a d—nness impossible to describe. Even the dogs, as you pass along, eye you with an air of I’d bark were it not too much trouble. No ene knows any thing about a: thing, as, for instance, although the only rail- road of which the town boasts connects with a steamer running from Cedar Keys to Mobile, not a soul conld be found who could tell us when the vessel lett for her destination. In fact, you can rarely obtain inthe South any information tobe relied on concerning travel. There are neither schedules nor time tables, and the un- fortunate wight who travels here must trust!to luck, @ long life, good digestion and all the available money at his command if he expects ever to get out of the country. We did the best thing possible under the circumstances, for be- ing the Sabbath we went to church and tor all coneerned in this institution in any capacity prayed fervently that more light might be given them. "There is nothing in Fernandina to interest a “live” person, and a ghost or a hyena might alone find food for reflection. Yet the inhab- itants of the place tirmly believe that it is des- tined to have a great future. At the entrance to the bay is Fort Clinch, not a very imposing fortification, and one which played a very un- important part in the late war. The entrance to St. Mary’s river, in consequence of the bar, is very narraw and tortuous, and the sight of one or two wrecks was not calculated to inspire one with very pleasant feelings. ‘Shaking the dust (or sand) from our feet, we left this delectable place early in the morning for Jacksonville, located on the St. John’s river, about twenty miles from the ocean, and the most thrifty town inthe South. The entrance is very intricate, and the channel narrow. We passed numerous tisheries, from which large quantities of shad are shipped North in Jan- uary of each year. A few fine plantations show themselves as you approach Jacksonville, one of them owned and occupied by the Marquis de Talleyrand, a descendant of the great French Minister of that name. It is a very attractive spot, with its orange groves and luxuriant fo- liage. Numerous saw-mills line the river, which lacks only variety of shoreline to the first week in April every thing is in full bloom. As we reached the wharf martial music greeted our ears, and presently about two thou- sand freedmen, of all ages, sexes, conditions, and hues, crowded dows to look at us. We were somewhat alarmed at the numbers composing the committee of reception, and at the clamor- ous welcome extended to our party. The mys- tery, however, was explained when we learned an election was in progress for mayor and councilmen. The great question whe- H ther Jones or Hopkins should control the des- tinies of Jacksonville for the ensuing year was being decided, and the town was in a state of ferment terrible to behold. .Vehicles, used for the conveyance of voters, were of the Jacksonville pears She marks of great outer. prise and thrift. & large lamber market, and should it to improve at its present rate must bafore long become of consid- URDAY, APRIL 23, 1870. long before this river will become as popular and be as much frequented as is Saratoga in summer. Jacksonville has a population of abeat 10,000, and resentbles a driving fronties western place more than a southern town. During the past year eleven large vessels entered and clgared from the port. Her rail facilities, though poor, will-soon be extended, as new lines are now being projected. One peculiarity of Florida is the large number of tax sales ad- vertised in the papers. From them one would conclade that nine-tenths of the lands are in the hands of the sheriff, and that tong ere this the people had become convinced of the effects that invariably follow civil war. A ride up the St. John's to PRatka is full of interest, and appears strange to us, unaccus- tomed to steaming 125 miles on a stream a good deal similar to our Rock Creek in all respects save depth of water. We passed, on our way to Pilatka, numerous groves of orange trees, many laden with the delicious golden fruit. Mrs. Har- tiet Beecher Stowe is the pfeprietreasof a plan- tation s few miles above Jacksonville, and we saw some of her family on the wharf as the steamer made her landing, though Mrs. Byron S. and suites, we were told, had just gone North. 3.
