Palatka, Fla., Aug. 9, 1872. We have had pouio exceedingly warm weather during the past two weeks in fact everything eoomed to be "red hot." Tlits "oldest inhabi tant" even Buffered more than ever before, and declares it the . hottest "spell" he ever experienced in this climate. Ilia views are certainly cor rect on warm weather. Palutka has improved wonderfully ninco my visit here Homo fifteen months ago ; and the spirit of improve ment is still bciug pushed forward. Many new houses are being erected, aud there is a general "fixing up" go ing on preparatory to the wiuter cam paign. Ample accommodations will be made for visitors, and everything will be done to make their visit pleas ant aud cujoyablo during their sojourn in this beautiful country, and unsur passed climate. , The weather during tho past few days has been very pleasant, aud the fine breeze is truly delightful. Tho orange trees arc laden with fruit and indications point to a large crop. Below I give an article ou the In dian River country, which is from the pen of a resident of that section : INDIAN BIVEIS COVNTRY, FLORIDA. Indian River, as is well kuown, is an arm of the ocean lying parallel with it, west of north anil eni-l of south, about ono hundred und nixty miles, varying in width iroin half a mile to three miles. It is perfectly utruight in tho centre, aud is navigable for bouts drawing six feet water. There are numerous inlet) connecting it with tlm ocean, the most important of which is opposite Fort Capron, about eighty mile below its uorthcrn ex tremity. This inlet is sunieiently large for vessels of any size not drawing over eight feet water, and is easy of access in fair weather. The current of tho inlet is very swift, both in and out, as the tide ebus aud flows, creating a tide in tho river for about forty miles each way. The water in the river is said to be ntoro suit thau the ocean, made so by evaporation, aud is without any cur rent, except what is created by the winds. There are a store and a hotel at Fort Capron. The Indians from Lake Okoehobe conic to this place to trade, bringing largo quantities of dressed doer skins, other skins and honey. The honey is brought in the skins of deer so ingeniously taken off a not to be broken, except at the neck aud feet. They look liko dead swollen deer, and you could scarcely persuade yourself that you were not inhaling particles of nutrid veuison. There is a considerable businesg done at this place iu winter, catching green turtle, which are kept iu crawls, and fed on mangrove leaves, and shipped North in April. For fifty miles abovo this place al most the entire bed of the river is a solid oyster bar. The oysters are the finest which reach tho Jacksonville market. A very small business has commenced, taking them to Sand Point in small boats, and dowu the M. John a on steamers to Jacksonville. The thoroughfare to this river is up tho .St. John's two hundred and sixty miles by steam from Jacksonville to Salt hake. Tho trip is made in two days and nights at a cost of fourteen dollars. 8ix miles in a hack brings you to Sand I'oiut, a village which has grown from uothiug to its present im liortauee iu four years. It has now lour stores and n good hijtel, (always crowded except in thesuinmcr months,) a wind mill, asteam saw-mill, a school, a minister. w. several hundred inhab itants. There are several enterprises in agitation, ouo is to put a steamer on the river, and another is to locate a sellilnnrv ut' lt'arnin".at S.iml l.int 1 ho travel lrom ftaml 1'oint now is by sail boats, and the scenery is beatiti I till and vufied. Tho clean, white beacu, the lines ot uuuy-shapoil co tiiiua roeks with the secoud bluffs ris ing uhnititlv. with their niauv flitter ing shells, to the height of thirty feet, then a'-tiin eradtially rising to the luiubt of one htiuilred feet above the water, its lltiwcrs, innumerable birds, ami tue rii n loiiage ol its evergreen forests, ull help to make it beautiful and attractive, i '' .i', 1'iri'ti' r i! I 'i'h'h'ViM . ii-' to be the most expensive in the United States, is one hundred niilos outh of St. Augustine, and twenty-five miles' south-east of Sand Point. It is situ ated on the main land between Banana river and the ocean. ltd moon-like light can be seen for many miles on Indian river. Banana and Sykos riv ers run out of ond into Indian river again, forming Menett's Island, which is ten by thirty miles, and is attracting considerable attention on account of ita rich ?oiI and adaptibly to the rais ing of the more tropical fruits, caused by the ameliorating influence of tho water upon tho north winds. Indian river aud Mosquito river, are connected near the northern extremity of the Government in tho Indian river, and through which the U. S. mail now passes from Smyrna to Miami. At this place, and open to tho winds on either fide, is Dummitt's orange grove of 1,200 trees. Many of those trees have borne 10,000 oranges, while two of them have bornu over 11.000: he sells thorn from 15 to 20 dollars per 1000 as thev banc unon the three. This grove is kept by ono man, at a cost of Sib per month. lho lauds immediately along the river arc gonorally high, anil in places rolling, all the water within half a mile of its banks running rapidly north to the St. John's. These lands may be divided into four classes char acterized as hammock, piue, acrub and prairie All the tropical fruits, as the semi-tropical, grow easily aud in great perfection, especially the Citrus family. Tho common specie of the orantrc and lemon mav be crown here with lesa outlay of capital, time and labor, than in any part ot the known world. The sweet oranee bears fruit certainly from tho planting of tho seed without manure, and very little atten tion in seven years. It is not definite ly known how much over 100 years a tree will live and bear fruit, nor how many thousand, with good attention, it might be made to bear. Sugar-cane, guava, citron, grape fruit, pineapple, and many other fruits, are grown abundantly in the same field without manure. Corn, oats, potatoes, pumpkins, on ions, and cabbages, in fact almost every variety of field crop and vegetable, are grown to tho greatest perfection, al most without Tabor. Cabbages weigh ing fifteen to twenty pounds ; cane fif teen feet long; lentous weighing two and a quarter pounds ; citron ten pounds; potatoes, both Irish nud sweet, of great size, are common pro ducts of tho natural soil. Uamo in the woods, and fish, in the water, arc 'abundant and of superior quality; while hundreds of ducks, aud orthcr birds, may be seen at a sight. The climate is delightful and pleas ant. The cvcr-inoving winds which rule from the south-east off the ocean in summer, keeps the thermometer under 80 in tho shade, aud tempers the rays ot tho sun uutil you scarcely feel it. When it is calm, which sel dom occurs, the sun is warm, but not oppressively n. There are all along the banks of In dian river springs of the purest and coolest water, and many mineral springs of various kinds. Tho health of the peoplois excellent all the year. The cool, bracing breezes, fresh from the bosom of the ocean, keep you renewed all tho while and prevent fatigue. Thcro arc many orango groves be ing started on the river, some of which are commencing to bear fruit, and will soon yield a handsome profit; mean while tho inhabitants plant corn, po tatoes, sugar cane, vegetables and ban anas, which, with the abundanco of fish and game, give them a good living. Ho;; and cattle'are very fat all the year round, and increase very fast. Cattle increase thirty-three and one third per cent, per annum, after tak ing out all required for beef. All Hands llclow. A good story is told of a parrot, who had always lived on board a ship, but who escaped at ono of the southern ports and took refuge in a church. Soon afterwards the congregation as sembled, and tlm minister began preaching to them in his earnest fash lon.saying there was no virtue in them, that every ouo of them would go to hell unless they speedily repented. .1 ust as he spoke thcVente'ncc, up spoke tho parrot from his hiding place : "All hands below I" To say that 'all hands' were startled would h i mild way of putting it. Tho peculiar voieo and its unknown source, had inuch more effect on them than the parson's words ever had. He waited a moment, and then a shade or two paler, he repeated tho warning. " All hands below 1" again rang out from somewhere. Tho preacher started from his pulpit and looked anxiously around, inquir ing if anybody had spoken. "All hands below!" was tho only reply, at which the entiro panic-stricken congregation got up, and a moment after they all bolted for the doors, the preacher trying his best to be the first and during the time the mischievous bird kept up his yelling: "All hands below!" There was an old woman there that was lame, and could uot get out us fast as the rest, and in a very short time she was left entirely alono. Just as she was about to hobble out the parrot flew down, and lightning on her shoulder, yelled in her ear ; " All hands below!" "No, no,Mistcr Devil," shrieked the old woman, "you can't mean me. 1 don't belong here. I go'to lho other church across the way !" Pi zzle r'OK Gitow.v Folks. The American Luthcrau offer its readers the followiug puzzle, which editors arc able to to make out with the greatest ease : 1 F Y ( U O v i ; f o n Y O I' R P A P L R P A Y U P At a mass meeting of colored people at Nanuville yesterday, tf tolution: coudemiug the course of Mr. Sumner were adopted. .

JCDUK W, Four years ago in the excitement of a great political campaign, I had oc casion to review in the National Un ion, of South Bend, Ind., the political course or W . A. . rcnor, formerly ot Clarksvillc, Tennessee. That review was based partially upon matters that did not come within my own personal knowledge; and in one or two par ticulars, I have since become satisfied was incorrect, though believed to be true at the time. Thrown in with bis little family, between the grinding millstones of a terrible civil war, the very press of circumstances, at times no doubt forced hira into equivocal positions more easily realized than ex plained, while facts of a personal na ture have within a few days come to my knowledge, that I must own make me regret exceedingly the publication of the matter referred to. Four years, too, of quiet thought, and a sincere desire to do justice to, and bo at peaeo with all men, have mado me charitable. Perhaps could We havo looked down into the heart of the man, and have seen the secret workings of his soul, many things that appeared wild and inconsistent, would havo seemed strangely different. The consciousness that I have ad ded a heavy weight on the life of one already too heavily burdened, and the fact that it is still used to injure him, is my excuse to the public, for pen- uiug tho above.

Kasiivillk, Tknn., Aug. 13. Em erson F.theridge has addressed a letter to the Memphis Ayalancho, declining to accept the position of candidate for Presidential elector on the Liberal 'ticket, for which ho was nominated 'i . ii ii i tasi may. no, nowever, support? Greeley as the true representative of the prevalent ideas and needs of the times, and not to restore any party to power. ITc advisod tho "true friends of Greeley to make no objection to the personnel of the electoral ticket. "Wo know," ho adds, "the reluctance with which many of his followers iu Tcuuesseo havo agreed to obey orders issued from Baltimore; we should therefore pardon tho harmless arro gance they display toward Mr. Gree ley's early and steadfast friends. Let us charitably believe that these things are not designed to injure his prospects abroad." Ite does not believe that thev can do so to an extent sufficient to defeat his election. Mr. Greeley has U o much reputation to fall an easy prey to unjust suspicion, too much popularity to be crushed by the silly garrulity of uninvited guests who declaim at Chappaqua, and too much good sense to be grateful to gushing orator's who ratify his nomination by eulogies upon Jefferson Davis or tears for tho lost cause. SPEECH BY ANDKEW JOHX80.V. Last night, whilst on a visit to J. P. White of Edgefield, Andrew Johnson was serenaded by a largo number of citizens, and, in response to repeated calls, made a speech of koiiio length, repeating Urieuy the points ot his Knoxvillo speech, aud expressing his love of the Democracy, lie had par doned and amnestied many men, but was now himself one of tho proscribed, and hoped that amnesty would not be denied him longer. Tho speech was well received. A Nrgrro Poisons Twenty -Nts Persona a,! College Commencement. New York, Aug. 13. A Greens boro, N.
