view to defeat the enterprise designed at the samo

havo (bit called upon boldly to repel an imputation

When others, willing to admit tho honosty of her
intentions, have questioned the power of this city to
cany out her laudable purpose, we have said, that
with the aid which she could obtain from others, she
was not only anxious, but abundantly able to accom
plish the undertaking.
More than this: Knowing how mncb'the people
of Southern Georgia (off the sea-board) aro suffering
for look of railroad communication with tho Atlantic,
we have gone so far as to say, and say note, that if
we thought Savannah was deccivingthem with a'vain
hope—that if we thought that she was only making
promises to build them a road to prevent othora from
doing the same—and that when others, through fear
of her competition, should give up their design, she
' would falsify her promises—we have said that, if we
could believe this, we ourselves should bo advocates
of the rood from Brunswick. As citizens of Georgia,
we shall never Justify or defend Savannah in a coarse,
at the same time so thoroughly selfish and maliciously
injurious to oar fellow-citizens in another part of the
State. In the event of the Brunswick undertaking bo-
’ ing defeated by the movement In this city, (and that
•lone will defeat it) and Savannah then refuses to join
Unpeople of Southern Georgia and Florida inbnilding
tho road which she had promised—wo need not
stop to inquire what state of feeling will bo awaken
ed by such a course of conduct in the hearts of those
who are ihe sufferers from it
There is no retreat for ns. The city can back ont of
her undertaking only with dishonor. Sho stands com
mitted to the construction of a road to the Gnlf by
the aid of such assistance as she can obtain. Others
have acted upon the assurances-which sho has given.
What will be their position in case sho fails to re-
depjn boiwwwtasT n»fy to mortifying than Iters.
But while Savannah has pledged her resources to
the construction of the rood to the Gulf, through
Southern Georgia, she has taken upon herself no ob
ligation to construct it along any particnlar line.
We have already shown, in a previous article, that,
providing the means herself, she has reserved to her-
self, tho right of prosecuting her enterprise beyond
tho Alatamaha “ by such route as may best promoto
the accomplishment of her design.’ 1 What that route
is we have indicated. It is, in our opinion, through
the county of Lowndes into Florida—thence west
ward to Pknbacola. We say Ponsacola, because
that will bo oar final resting place: though a connec
tion with tho Gnlf, when we reach Tall&hassco (by
a road already built), another when we reach the Apa-

farther on, by a short branch road to Saint Andrew’s

with Veastogni long snbeeqnent to tho authentication
of these papcnMmu Verestegui’s declarations upon
tho subject, given the wholo history of tho scheme
from the commencement.
The defence objected, and stated in tho courso of
the argument that those very men who were accused
of plotting with Gardiner retained their offices under
the Mexican Government to this day.
The court ruled out the evidence upon the same
grounds on which tho letters were excluded.
Jndgo Aguillar was recalled, and questioned in re
gard to Hnicl’s testimony. He positively denied that
he ever told Hnicl that he bad been offered In New
Orleans, by the Government, $12,000, or that ho had
told him if Dr. Gardiner wohld glvo him $20,000 ho
wonld go homo ; or if Dr. Gardiner would glvo him
$8,000 ne would go home. With regard to Huici’s
statement that he told him be bad seen Mr. Slacom
at Alexandria, and that he had given him his word as
a gentlemen, and an agent of tho Government, that
he wonld bo paid what ho was promised in Now Or

The afternoon was occupied in examining him upon
tho subject, in the courso of which ho testified that
Goorge May, tho brother of Henry May, indicated to
him, in New Orleans, that his expenses should be
paid, and that it should bo done in such a manner
that be should suffer no loss. That after his arrival in
Washington Huici told him that ho would be restrict
ed to tho legal rato of mileage aud per diem, and
made other suggestions. That lie visited Slacum at
Alexandria primarily for the purpose of returning his
visits, and secondly to communicate to him a kind of
mistrust he had in his mind in consequence of Hnici's
suggestions. That Slacum removed that mistrust by
assuring him that ho was treating with gentlemen,
and that ho Bhould bo indemnified far his expenses in
the form which had been indicated to him,and which
witness said was nono other than that indicated by
Mr. May in New Orleans. Alter that ho felt happy
and quiet. Hnici afterwards renewed hia suggestions
so for as to make an intimation to him of anothor
kind, which he would stato, if requested.
The statement was not called for, and the court
ac(iourned.
From the Tallahassee Sentinel.
Letter from Col. Ward.
Mr. Editor: In my hut letter I advanced the opinion
that we should roly upon our own-resources rather than
foreign aid for a Florida Itailroad, so located aa to meet the
wants of the State. It is well known that tho peoplo of
Albany. In Georgia, havo rccolved assurances that a Kail-
road will be built from Savannah to that place. We hare
the same reason (and no other) for believing that the Savan
nah and Florida road will bo built. Now. if in addition to
her other roads, Savannah Is able to bultd and sustain In
operation an Albany road and a Florida road, the latter
passing through such counties as Tatnnll, Applin, Irwin
and Ware, let us never doubt the capacity of our Stato to
sustain a Florida road upon her own resources. Doubt
will avail nothing, because It is apparent that we are to be
thrown npon our own resources. I will not stop to show
how'far the present demonstrations hare fallen short of the
manifesto of last winter. I will only alludo to tho well
known fact that when tlio charter for this road was sought
iTffi »;
larger half of the money must come from Florida. Now
air, the larger half of the capital will build a road from
Pensacola to Madison county. At that point then, it be-
oomos a question whethor we will accept tho promised aid
of Savannah and go to Savnnnab, two hundred miles, or
avail ourselves of the co-operation of East Florida anu go
to Jacksonville or St. Marys, as the case may be, a distanco
of one hundred miles, more or less. I do not myself hesl-
tato to prefer the latter, and I do not hesitate to assumo
tho position, that If, without tho aid of tho Eastern coun
ties, wo can build a road from Pensacola to Madison county,
(or thereabouts.) that with that aid we can reach the St.
John's or St. Mary's, running from sea to ssa upon the soil
of our own State.
To build this road, we havo first the Internal Improve
ment Fund of tho State, estimated at a million. Secondly,
tlio resulting fund from swamp lands. Of these, tho amount
Is putative only, but when we bear in mind that Florida is
the fifth State in the Union In point of area, any ono ac
* ‘ .f theS‘ -
quainted with the superficies of the Stato will readily con
cel vo its Tast amount, and tho road, as soon as a comiueno«d,
will give It a value of which now wo can only form an ap
proximate estimate. Tho third source upon which wo may
rely will be an appropriation by Congress of alternate ssc-
*. - *‘ L - ‘lie land through which the road shall t
ttons of tho public land through which the road shall pass.
Much of thu land. It Is true, would be what is familiarly
known as pine lands But it is now known that the most
barren of these are not without their value, and tho pro
duction or lumbsr and turpentine, may vlo with the cul
ture of cotton and sugar.
1 was present In the Senato when tho Illinois Central
Road was debated of. I took an interest In it—the more so
that it owed Its passage, In a jmsat degree, to the exertions
ofan old and attached personal friend of my own. Gcnoral
Jones, of Iowa, to whom I tako occasion to pay this slight
tributo of respect. In that debate it was admitted that the
United States might well afford to give away the alternate
sections on each side of the road, for six miles, because the
remaining half was doubled in valuo the moment tho route
of the road was fixed. Sueh will bo tho effect of our road
on the value of our lands, and wo do not assume too much
when we say, that the road onco begun, land now not worth
$1,25 will be easily worth %2fi0 per acre.
I will pass over, In this enumeration.capital tobedcrired
from the two termini of tho road. If tho termini, or oither
or them, should be a city or town whore tho property is al
ready appropriated, this fund would appoar In the snapo of
individual subscriptions, and might bo safely set down ns
representing the enhanced value of tho property. If, on
the other hand, the termini or either of them should be the
property of the Railroad Company, the value of the lots
would be added to the other resources of the stockhol tors.
I come now to spoak of tho Individual subscriptions.—
As these, also, are putatlvo In their character. I will only
sar that Invariable experience In the South has shown that
this resource is always found to exceed the estimates. One
reason for this is found in the fact that tho small subscrip
tions exceed In the aggrpgate largo ones. Onco let your
road be started and, bosldcs your large capitalists—your
50.000 and 20.000 men—thero spring upTrum every hill and
every valley, Hko Rodoric Dhu’s tarianed warriors, your 5,
3,2 and $1,000 stockholders: and, at this day. the'Georgls
Railroads are owned in the larger amount by the smallei
. „ .the smaller
subscribers. Sir, I do not hesitate to say that In individual
resources we are as able to commence a central road ns
Georgia was when she began her's. If sho is stronger now
she has grown so by moons of her roads. A more doubtful
effort—a more dubious Investment never made, than in the
first section (thirty miles, I think.) of tho Georgia Central
Railroad. Look at tho result. Sho lias grown strong by
leaning on noon*, and by not being afraid torolyonhor
own resources,
Rat, Mr. Editor, we liavo an clement In our resources
which never did and never can minglo with her's. The
long Indulged day-dream of uniting the shore of the Atlan
tic with that of the Gulf Is now at last on the eve of-IU ac
complishment, quickened by the recent events which liavo
ooncontrated so vast an amount of the commercial interests
of the world in the new route to the Padfio and the East.
These commercial necessities require a transit. This must
be across Florida. This right of way is our capItaL It Is
what Providence has giTen us as a compensation for tho
barren wastes willch occupy so largo a portion or the su
perficies of our State. It Is our birthright—let us not part
with it for a mens of potage. The mat commercial
capitals of thta world require the transit: tboy can only
have it with our consent—let the prico of that consent be a
road so loeated as to build up and servo tho agricultural
and Industrial resources of tho Slate of Florida. To such
an extent as our own resources msy be Inadequate to build
a road or roads, wo can command tho aid of foreign capital
and upon our own terms.
With these views, sir, I Incline to sustain the Central
Florida Gnlf and Atlantic Road. That charter does not as
sume to fix definitely the termini, and this wisely, because
there Is no praetioal principle better settled than that those
who contribute the money have aright to locate the road.
Should such a road be built, and rest for Its eastern term!-
nus low down on tho St. Johna, a southern arm or branch
wonld become necesury. On the other hand, should the
road be built from the St. Mary’s or Jacksonville to Tampa,
it would be for the Central Road to .shorten Its lino of dis
tance by tapping theirs.
heensaM
It has been said that U we adopt the Savannah Charter It
would be very easy to tap that road, at Hamiltou county,
with a road to the St. Johns. I say. no. Let us roly on our
own resources—build our own road, and then, if Savannah
baa capital and disposition to build a road through tho coun*
ties I have before mentioned, let It bo for hor to tap our
road upon terms suitable to our mutual Interests.
1 hare been led, Mr. Editor, Into this rather too lengthly
dissertation, because I thought It due to myself and to oth
ers whoconeur with me in oplonion. As it regards lVjnsa-
cota, there Is no Issue between myself and the advocates of
the Savannah scheme. It is a question not as to the West-
era, bnt the Eastern terminus of the road. It Is a question
not between Pensaeola and any other rival ports on'the gulf
but between a Georgia seaport and a Florida one. Between
Savannah on the one side and Jacksonville or 8t. Mary’s

elde in favor of the latter. Our duty as Floridians begins at
home. Onr ftUow-cltlsens of the East have a right to count
on our co-operation, and we have a reciprocal Interest in
their development and growth, because it augmsnts the re
source* and contributes to the dignity of the States, to'
which we belong. Blr.lf there was a Railroad from Middle
Florida to-morrow. I should still, as a Floridian, be xealout
for a road to EfestFlorlda.. TO connect the different sections
of onr 8UU with different diverging railroad routes in the
adjacent State la almost equivalent to dismemberment. Let
us rely something on our own enterprise and energy. But
As long ss we content ourselves with praying to HornuUs
without patting onr own shoulders to the wheel, neither to
Pensaeola nor to Jfast Florida, nor to the Kiddie, will there
be rsflwade on-which yon or 1, Mr. Editor, will ever ride.

perusal of an Issue bf the New
York SYifcuut beariBf date of thelth March fast peril
has brought to my Immediate notloi aa Anonymous com*
munleation therein contained, purporting to give an keen-
rate add reraoWtti phyttoegtosi description or«WyWcrti
its geographical pecullariUca—The Couchs and their histor
ical, physical and social peeuUarit(*e.»
Now, Messrs. Editors, during the course of replication to
the latter portion of to# article afotceald alluded to, and In
a justifiable and loud called for defonoo, upon the behalf of
by far the greater pbrtlon of our community »t large, I
ahall consider It my province and bounden duty to com
ment moat severely, and seriously reflect upon the motives
and causes which Incited sueh a wanton, ruthless and un
provoked attack, and sueh a eoutrarlpu* and falsliiod state
ment of facts as has so captiously and cattily emanated from
the tot dtamt “Otsego."
I do not purpose to mako any referenoe to the flowery
and erudite geographical and geological description of this
Island given by “Otsego"—it is in tho main correct and
unimportant. But I do purpose noticing his Italicised allu
sions to a portion of our residents whom he huso face-
tlouily styled as CbncA#,and shall therefore commence ah
initio,
He says: “These Couchs arc peculiar speoimens of hu<
man kind. When first or wherefore they wore called Conch*,
authentic history has not Informed us. The shell fish call
ed conch or concha abounding, It became aud Is their prin
cipal or favorite food, hence, I suppose, they acquire the
name of Couchs."
If temperance, sobriety, Industrious perseverance and
honeety, (which are specific characteristics and attributes
of these people,) constitute "peculiar specimens of human
kind," It must then be acknowledged that the poaltion ad
vanced Is correctly argued and well sustained.
The primitive origin of the cognomen CbncJt, and its ap
plication to the residents of the Bahama Islands,' Is easily
traced, and can readily be accounted for, although “ au-
thentic history hat not informed tu.”
It did not spring Into existence as “Otsego" baa, Incor
rectly and Inaccurately Instructed us, at "party meetings
and jollifications," and trumped about in “doggerel"
rhymo, as a petition to the King for the continuance of tho
gubernatorial ofilco of Lord Dunmore, but hvAr
origin from , tba .following circumstances, similar to the
causes which led to lbs American Revolution, and the final
independence of tho most cherished colonial possessions of
Great Britain.
The colonists of the Bahama Islands had certain fran
chises, privileges and Immunities granted them by the
crown, the chiefest feature of which was, that of the free
dom of a choice of delegates to the Colonial House of Assem
bly. Election* to which were Insured to the pcoplo free
from all overstraining influence upon the part of the Exec
utive.
It so happened that npon one occasion, the majority of
the delegates upon whom the tx» populi had fallen, on ac
count of some unknown and fortuitous circumstance, were
considered unpropltlons and dlsonant to the views and as
pirations entertained by Lord Dunmore. Immediately npon
the assembling of the Council, his Excellency dissolved tho
same and ordered a now election, thus endoavorlng to con
trol the legislative body of tho colonists by securing the po
sition of certain leading partisans and factions.
This occurrence, combined with a repetition of tho same
and rent wed efforts and commands upon the part of Lord
Dunmore, to secure tho election and advancement of hts
party adherents, so exasperated and aroused the people
that, rising In their native strength, and In defence of their
nnfcttmd pristine rights, they stood forth champion,
proclaiming, assorting the samo, snd bidding defiance to
the doiputlc hand of tyranny and the wrath of a sore offen
ded ruler.
Tlio precise statistical period at which these events took
place, does not now occur distinctly to my mind. But tho
signal staff, with tho red cross of George the Third flying
unfolded from its summit, and waving gracefully in tho
breeze o'er a clustered bunch of Conchs. pronuncing sover
eign freedom, and Iron will and Nature’s iKell too hard to
bo crushed by tho factious grasp of a crowned headed tyrant,
transmitted to their posterity a namo and tltlo which naught
could cause a blush of shamo, or the finger of scorn causo
to be renounced.
Such, Messrs. Editors, is the true and bonaJUle cause and
derivation of this appellation to tlio Bahamians In general,
“and who are now distinctly known amongst mgn as
Conchs," and not to the Ignorant, feigned, and assigned
reason which "GCiqp" so skilfully and felicitously insin
uates, and which Is ridiculously apparent and unequlrocally
false In tho abstract.
The Ingeniously wrought ad captandum classical allusions
of "Otsego” fall of point or effect, and show a manifest
prostitution of school-boy knowledge, to the attempted de<
rision and open desire to calumniate and throw ridicule
upon a most useful and deserving class of men. Had ho
prosocuted Ills learned, refined researches, ho would havo
found tliat the Holy Evangelist enjoins upon us friendship
and charity to our fellow beings as cardinal virtues, and
that Clcoro, in hi* dialogues do Amicitla, chap, vl., sec. 20,
says : 11 Est antem amicitla nihil allnd, nisi omnium divln-
arum humanarumquo rerum cum bcnorolentla et curitato
sututna conienilo.”
And might we not, with equal propriety, “ slightly aided
by tradition and a fertile imagination,” reasonably Infer Uiat
a certain school of politicians resident in.the Kntplra suu,
derived their cognomen trom tno samo source which I have
described, and that the hard Adis have a more ancient ex
istence than is commonly supposed.
He continues, " We know howover that they aro tho de
scendants of English emigrants, arid the royalists of Geor
gia and Carolina who settled upon and fled to tho sandy
and barren Bahama Islands. Living there in comparative
Indolence, and disregarding tbo laws of nature and or na
ture’s God, by marrying and intermarrying within tlio pro
hibited degree of consanguinity, they havo become a dis
tinct class or race, whom the Almighty has apparently
marked with degeneracy. Among their children, and they
are legion, you can only occasionally recognize an expres
sion or a feature of 1 the human fnco divine.’ Tlio Concli
men of tills day and generation, at Icastrupon tills Island*
are a cadaverous, sorry and fishy looking genus hominum.”
Hero again - Otsego ’’ has either advnnced another gross,
nnauthentlcated Inaccuracy, or has both wilfully and mani
festly lntendod to misrepresent a truo statement of facts [
whereby he supposes the lineage of these Islanders can be
traced to none other but to the blood of the Tory refugee,
and thus endeavoring to create a jaundice In the public
mind,
Tlio only reason that I can assign for his thus so widely
departing from the precepts o^truth, is, a futile exertion
upon his part to mako this correspond with tho sequel,
and serve as an entorlng wedgo for the perpetration of tho
numerous contrarieties to point of fact which follow.
Several years prior to tho American Revolution the Isl
ands of thn Bahama group were settled by emigrants from
the Barbrdots and other adjacent Islands. Iloro they lired
separate aud apart, depending chiefly upon their dally la
bor for tho necessary sustenance of life. Tlielr socurity
was, however, at different periods tnvnded, and thsir situa
tion oflenthrib* rendered perilous in the extreme, by tho
frequent incursions of tho various hordes of pirates which
at that early date Infested these neighborhoods, Amongst
the lattor tlio Spaniards proved tho most violont and most
to be dreaded, making rapid descents from the Island of
Cuba and gratifying their rapacious and unbridled libidi
nous propensities at will. And at the time of the settle
ment by the English, there was a Spanish colony la exist
ence upon the Island of Now Providence, which had been
wrested by force froift the original setllors.
. About the year 1784, nearly three yean after tho closing
scene of tlio Revolutionary war, Sfojor Dovoo, of tho British
army, accompanied only by a few followers, disembarked
from tho port of Savannah, Georgia, and proceeded to the
Bahamas. The first point of landing was that of Harbor
Island, where he immediately commenced fortifying him
self temporarily, and raising a band of patriot troops, pre
vious to thecomnfilncing of hostilities upon tho Spaniards.
Tho seat of Government was thon located at Nassau,
New Providence, and was under the administration of one
Carracca, a Creole Spaniard. About a fortnight after the
landing of Dovoo, tho garrison at Nassau becoming intimi
dated at the warlike preparations and tlireat* of the Patri
ots, through the medium of a flag of truce, unconditionally
capitulated; and thus was founded a colony in the name
and undtr the protecting Inflnonce of George the Third.
This, without doubt, was the first period that the English
flag was ralsod on high amid this group of Isles, and the
assertion that the Tory refugee, compelled to fly hither as
a refuge from the wrath of the American Continental, Is
without foundation, and a parallel can no where be found
In “authentic history."
A visitor to these islands would at first be struck with
the aftnparettre Indolence which naturally prevails. I say
naturally, for a necessary deduction la to be drawn from the
relativo position that the whites oooupy towards tho black
population; which explanation will readily convince any
discerning mind of tho devoid nature of the affirmation.
Tho negroes, In a very large proportion, outnumber the
whites, and are possessed of such freedom as renders their
living In Juxta position a matter almost of Impossibility,
and tbo day does not beam far distant In the horison when
the African sceptre will sway supremo, or the civilized
world stand aghast at the repetition of the blood-stained
horrors of St. Domingo.
The emancipation of these slave* has been, and will ever
be, a striking monument of the short-sighted policy of the
English Govtroment, and will ever remain a luting stain
npon the world-renowned escutcheon of Britain’s fairest
Isle.
Tho preponderance of the blacks reuders tbo performance
of the usual occupations of the civilised white a matter of
infrequency; and the paltrineu of tlie daily stipend, or
reward of mental or manual labor which of necessity ac
crues, wonld prove an astounding (act to (he uolinltlated.
The Inability to compete with tho African, under the
broiling rays of a tropical sun, and the constant galling In
sult to which they are dally subjected, has caused the emi
gration to the United 8tates of large numbers of the na
tive residents.
And now, Messrs. Editors, ole word In regard to a large
proportion of oar resident citixens, or the " Couch men" of
Key West, as ^Otsego" so knowingly calls them; and by way
of reply to his miRrepresentedavermsnts, so boldly and ua-
blashlngly set forth | and I hardly deem it necessary here
to say ought but to contradict the truth of his malicious
physiological description, and to unhesitatingly pronounce
it most unqualifiedly and unequivocally false. .
The Bahamians living here form a Urge aud mostrespeet-
ablo poidlon of our community, and aro dlstlngnUhed for
