MILTON.
This representative Floridian village, the county seat of Santa Rosa County, is situated about twenty miles up the Blackwater River, and on the Pensacola and Atlantic Railroad, twenty miles east of Pensacola. Previous to the building of the railroad, about two years since, it was the metropolis of all that region lying east of the Escambia River, extending as far as a hundred miles. Large stocks of goods were carried by the merchants, who did a thriving trade with that sparsely settled region. A steamer formerly ran to Pensacola, but was taken off the line on the completion of the railroad. The village boasts of a Court-house, a newspaper, The Santa Rosa News, one of the handsomest Post-offices in the State, a Public Library of about 4000 volumes, a Masonic Library of 750 volumes, a Museum of Natural History containing 3000 or more specimens of birds, minerals, shells, etc.,-the whole under the charge of John Carloritz, Esq. To find such a library and museum seems to the stranger like discovering an oasis in the desert. The sidewalks are mostly of wood, a conspicuous exception being a granite walk which is pointed out with pride to the stranger. Vessels drawing eight or nine feet of water can come direct to the wharves. Plenty of oysters, fishing and hunting are found near Milton. There is a Methodist, Pres- byterian, Baptist, Episcopal, and about four miles distant, a Mormon, church. These Latter-Day Saints are quite numerous in and around Milton. They use the Mormon Bible, denounce polygamy however, and are counted among the most honest and upright citizens in the village. There are three hotels, and several cosey homes with surrounding grounds. The health of the place is excellent, with no malaria. Carlyle, in writing of Yankee Land, said that if the traveller should leave

WEBB'S PENSACOLA DIRECTORY.
it out of his route he could tell one but little of what the Americans are, so if the tourist should visit West Florida without stopping at Milton, he can tell one but little of a rep- resentative Floridian town as it existed in ante-bellum days. It is true there is not as much stir, trade and traffic-that goes on to Pensacola -- but there is much of the same atmosphere as permeated it a quarter of a century ago. The people are as a rule intelligent, educated, and possess much of that courtly manner belonging to the old-school gentleman. They are hospitable, and are glad to welcome all who will interest them- selves to come to see them. Judge Geo. G. McWhorter of the Supreme Court, is a resident of the village. Strangers in Pensacola can take a morning train over to Milton, and can return in time for supper. Go and see ; you will not regret it.
