CORRESPONDENCE.

SOUTHERN SKETCHES From the Fair Land of, Blooming Flowers. EverFROM FLORIDA. ANOTHXR OF TH SERIES ' OF LETTERS FROM OUR SOUTHERN CORRESPONDENT PEN PICTURES OF SCENES IN THE EVERGREEN STATE. Special Correspondence of the Sentinel. . Jackson vixlh, Fla.. April 5, 1876. This land of flowers Is so full of attractions; its climate is so genial and deli cioup, tempting the tourist to constantly wander among and wonder at the sew fields of enjoyment, that it is almost Impossible to gt eyea n hour for a letter. Coming down from tbe cold snows of our home land, one simply basks under these Lrigbt skies, forgets that be wa ever snow bound and lapses Into a Btate of satisfaction that makes him smile all oyer. This la why my letters are so unfrequent. The air is clear, tbe watet s are pare and perfectly tracsparect, the sunlight is stimulating, and the stars come nearer to us than they do at home. What wonder tbat THOUSAXrS OF PLEASURE SEEKERS from bleak New England, New York and every state of the Northwest are crowdlug these great hotels and bosrdiDg houses snd ' radiating from ' here all over this vast state, visiting its unnumbered beautiful springs, deep lakes and charming orange grovea?- Up tbe great St. John's, the mother ot rivers, poes a dally tide on the splendid steamer Hampton to Pilatke, or tbe popular Starlight to Enterprise, 200 miles southward, or any ot the many steamers that depart for points nearer or far beyond; and daily comes back an equal . tide ot -those who! have trwiit from a single öay to two or three moniha wsnderlng, always delighted and. always craving more, lo this picture there is no dark side. 1 MANY A FAMILIAR FACE f yon will met there, of a friend who came with a backing cönah and wauled frame, who here rejoices in returning strergth and hope. Everywhere we found com Bumptlves expressing the greatest satisfaction with tbe climate and its restoring qualities. Both all through Georgia and away into Southern Florida these pale faces of tbe North have crowded in, and in every ics'ance where we have met . a Northern man, he is perfectly enthusiastic about the climate. Many also claim tbat only here can they find reit from tne tor rlble piinspf Leuralgia. Tbe great Nortbweetern excursion parly maintained good order, and kept the ranks well until they reached this city. It was no longer possible to bind them together. An enhuiiaatio reception, was ..given tkem In a large ball .accompanied with ve-y pleasant speeches, ttc, after which tue company broke up into squads and started for tbe orange groves, the rivers, tbe fountains, and the lakes of this encr anting country. Some would spend bat a fdw days, and a large number have already "fled to tbe land nf the North" just in time to get caught la tbe great enow storm, of which we have heard ol here with a tinisbmenf, but many are- still fsr up in the high pice landr, a-id tbe grove of bananas, lime pnmeranites, oranges, lemons, figs, coooanute, etc Many spent a seat on in one of the many grand hotels t , JACKSONVILLE. This is a beautiful city in every respect. It is clean, green snd sprightly. It is crowded all winter always with genteel people from all the Northern cities and towns.

The place has tbe appearance ot a beautiful and charming Northern city. Tbe large number of colored inhabitants here is about the only drawback. They are a aource of constant trouble. . On last Saturday a fearful riot was gotten up because a policeman attempted to quiet a drunken. noisy negro, who was using a great deal of loud, vulgar language Just at the moment tbat many ladies and gentlemen were coming eff of a boat. Tbe cfliatr did his duty very quietly, requesting the man to keep quiet, the worthless creature drew s razor and strack with all bis power at the Olli cer's throat. Fortunately he broke tbe razor on a carriage wheel, and with tbe stump only gashed tbe cheek of the effieer. The officer shot bim, not fatally. No one blamed the officer. - But tbe most horr.bie ssene ensued. Hundreds of negroes rushed together, clamoring for tbe officer's life, cursing and shouting, 'Kill him!' He barely escaped to tbe jail In an omnibus, tbe mad crowd following tnrough tbe streets and attempting to tear tbe jail down. In no other place in Florida would such a scene occur.

THE POSITION OF ADMIRAL FARRAOUT AT THK PASSAQR OF THE FORTS IN THE rCTTOCK SHÜODD8 OF THK MAIN MAST. John C Kinnoy, late acting eigcal officer, TJ. S. A., writes to Appleton'a Journal as follows:, It xcay seem presumptous for a "landlubber" to attempt to correct a rear-admiral upon a purely naval matter, but ss I am positive of tbe correctness of roy views I &k vom permission to give my slmony (that of an eye witness) as to the position of Admiral Farragut during the passage of tne forts at tbe entrance ol Mobile bay. That my opportunities tor acquiring exict knowledge of the circumstances may be understood. I will state that I was at the time a signal offloer of the United States army, and bad been assigned to duty on tbe Hartford for the purpose of oommunlcatine between the admiral and the land forces then in tbe rear -of - Fort Galues. One army signal officer had been stationed on each of the leading ships in the flaer. the intention being not t? use their service until the patsige of tbe forts had' been accomplished, and a combined attack by land and water was arranged from tbe inside of trie bay. The army mode of slg- ' naling was so much mo?e expeditious than tbat of the navy, however, that a.'tor tbe fleet got under fire we were called into service, and it was my good fortune to transmit by sigBal every order given by Aden ral Famgut to bis flaet Irom tbe beginnlrg 01 the fight until it close, with tbe surrender of the ram Tennessee. ConSfquently I was' dunog the entire engagement, on deck (or above it) and , , IN FÜLL SIGHT OF THK ADMIRAL. I am certain that both Mr. Page, the artIs', and Admiral Jenkins are in error as to tbe position Admiral Farragut occupied during the pas9ge of tbe forts. The for- ' mer places him "ixty feet or more above the water liar;" tbe latter ys fce "ascended the ttarboard mizzm ringing (shrouds-) of the Hartford to about midway between the mizzen-top and tbe bammockrail, cr pocp-dtck of tbe vessel." The actual position ot the admiral was in the "futtock-ähroudh" of the mainmast, directly uoderoest!) tbe main-top. As all your readers will net understand these terms so readily as will Adm-r&l Jenkinr, let me explain: The "main-top" is tbe platform around tbe mainmast, aoout twenty-five or thirty feet from tbe deck, and the "iuticck-sbrouda" are the iron chains runnlrg from tbe sides of tbe "main-top" to tne mast a few feet beneath. I he reason for tbe admiral takicg this position is easily explained. When the ships came within range of the guna cf Fort Morgan, tbe pilot oitae Hartford took his place upon the main-top, where, above tbe smoke of tbe ship's guns, he could see to direct tbe course. Admiral Farragut stationed himself under tbe main-top, where he could be in direct communication with the pilot overhead and the fleet ctptain and executive officer beneath, and where, alio, be could have an unobstructed view of tbe contest. In corroboration of my opinion, I quote from that noble war lyric, "Tbe Bay Fight," by tbe talented aad lamented H. H. Brownel), , "THE BATTL LAUREATE," as Holmes christened, him. He was Farragut's secretary at the time, and sat on deck during the figtt, making notes as o ly and as methodically as if t e were attending a social eciecce congress. He fays; ' "From the main-top bold and brier ; Came the words of our grand old chief 'Uo on V-'twas all he said Our helm was put to starboard, And the Hartford forgoä ahead.", I am cor fideLt tbat Captain L. A. Elmberly, of the navy, who was then executive officer cf tbe Hartford, and aa brave and modest a man as lives, will bear witness to the correctness ot my statement. In justice to Admiral Jenkins, I should say tbat I believe ho has confused two incidents of the fight. Daring tbe fight with the ram Tennessee, after the passage of the forts, the Hartford was run into and cut almost to the water's edge by the Lackawaina. Admiral F.rrsgot was at this time on the quarter-deck, and, while great temp r ry cocBtrnation prevailed among the crtw, who thought the ship mustsink, the admiral sprang into the "aiarboard m'zz?n rUxmg," and leaned over the side pf the ship to ascertain tbe extent of tbe Injury. Finding tbat tbe ship wes not endangered, h rdered her to renew tbe pursuit ot tbe ram. It is probably from this incident tbat Ai.uiral Jenkins obtalued hla erroneous in pressioo. The admiral himself did m-ble -rvice during thedsy in command ol tno Rich mend.
