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- * lacbacolariver (by navigation), and another, a little farther on, by a short branch road to Saint Andrew’s Bay, will all be Important episodes in onr grand Epic.

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 leans, the witness said that this was a net or snarl as black as ink. 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 tode- as the case maybe, on the othsr. Ido not hesitate ■ • ' iftbelaf' * ‘ “ ‘ 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. Respectfully ywoVt facet Gzomi T. Waxp. 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.
