denominated “rich lands,” are—first, tho swamp

had left tho port to settle the dispute with the King
of Aahantee, and had encamped near Dnngua in the

The dtstorbanoe. as previously reported, was caused

the oells or the Castle, and afterwards beheaded by
order or court-martial.
Another acoount says the threatened war on tha
Gold Coast with the Aehantaoa Is at on end. Tho
particulars are as follows: At the close of the last
Aahantee war two Assln tribes, tributaries to tho
Ashantees, preferring the mild rule of tho English to
the despotic one of their own King, come over to the
boundary river Prat, and claimed British protection,
whloh was granted them. Since then, the King has
boon making repeated attempts to induce them to re
turn, but without success. At length he bribod the
two oblefrs with 300 ounces of gold to bring their fol
lowers ovor. The chiefs spent the gold, but were
so far from being able to fulfil their engagement that,
on tho people discovering what was going on, thoy
informed Major HU1, tho energetic Governor of the
Gold Coast, of tbo circumstance, and, on a party of
Ashantees coming into tho British territory, to assist
the chiefs, tha Attains roso and took many or them
prisoners. Major Hill Immediately seized the two
chiefs, and Imprisoned them in the castle, and thon
marched out to the asslstanoe of our allies, calling
on the Fantcea and other tribes under our protection
to assist against the common enemy, who had now
about eight thousand-men in our territories, support
ed by about twelve thousand others, a few days’ march
In tho rear, who threatened to releaso tho prisoners
from the costlo.
The Fantees cheerfully responded to tho call, and
Major Hill soon found himself In the field with an
array of 23,000 men, and he had threo mon-of-war—
the Britomart, tho Polyphemus, and the Spy—off the
towh. He thou assembled a public court iu the camp,
(about two days’ march from the town,) for the trial
of the two traitor chiefs. It was composed of thir
teen of the principal chiefs under British protection.
The prisoners were found guilty, and sentenced to bo
beheaded—it being tbelr second offence,—which sen
tence was carried into execution on tho 18th of April,
in front of the camp, somo of the Ashantees being
.allowed to bo present. Major Hill then sent word to
tho Ashantees that unless they quitted the British
Territory in twenty four hours be would attack them.
They retreated, and, on communication being had
with tho Ashauteo King, be found it convenient to
disown tho wholo afihir, and to declare that the army
marohod Into British territories without his sanction,
and that he had no war palaver whatever with the
English. Thus, by the promptitude and firmness of
the Governor, aud the extremely good feeling ho has
succeeded in establishing with the tribes under our
protection, that which at oue time threatened to bo a
serious war with one of the most civilized and bel
ligerent nations in Africa (the same which in 1862 de
feated and killed Governor M’Carthy,) was terminat
ed most satisfactorily and without bloodshed. Tho
small poll-tax which tho Governor has lately imposed
on tho inhabitants in return for British protection, is

iucutslona of frost In that State renders it necessary
to cut tho cane in October, which is long before it has
reached maturity: while, in East Florida, it -is per
mitted to stand, without fear of frost, till December
or till such tlmo as It Is fully matured. In conse
quenco ortho heavy outlay of capital required In the
preparation of this dfaoription of land for cultivation,
and from the facility of obtaining hammock land,
which requires no ditching, swamp land has been but
little sought after by persons engaged in planting in
Florida! and there are now at least half a million or
acres of the best discription of this land vacant in the
country, and which can bo secured at the Govern
ment minimum price. Vast bodies of it lio convenient

Low hammocks (which, from tho fact of their par
ticipating of the nature both of hammocks and
swamps,, have bcon very graphically termed stoam-
inodes,) are not inferior to swamp lands in fertility,
but perhaps are not so durable. They are always
lovef, or nearly so. and have a soil of greater tenacity
than that of the high hammocks. Bomo ditching Is
necessary in many of them. The soil on thorn is al
ways deep. These lands are also extremely well
adapted to the growth of the cane, as has been well
tested by tho many plantations which were formerly
in operation here on this description of land. There
is by no means so large a proportion of low hammock
in East Florida os there is of swamp lands.

Mr. Bancroft, tbo "historian,- relates tho following
anecdote of tho Father of his Country:
“ Once, while in Now Jersey,Tomlng out to mount

trappings. He placed the child upon the horse’s back
aua led it around tho yard with its youthful joyancc,
It was to Washington's honor, that although heaven
did not bless him with oflkpring. be bad a heart to
lovo children, and take them to his bosom.
Mf. Hildreth, with equal justice and propriety, re
lates an interesting anecdote of the revered Jackson,
the man whose iron will prompted him to “ take tho
responsibly,” when duty called him to do it, and be
fore whoso infloxlblo determination all obstacles sur
mountable by human effort were forced to give way.
After the battle of thoGreat Horse Shoe,in which
nearly a thousand Indians were killed, and two hun
dred and fifty prisoners were taken, all women and
children, the men having been exterminated, tho fol
lowing Incident occurred: The grim General who
presided over tho bloody scone, which Boemed to carry
us back to tho early Indian wars of Now England,
had still a tender spot in his heart. Moved by the
wail of an Indian infant, picked up from the field,
whoso mother had perished daring the battle, Jack-
hoii strove to induce somo nureiug woman among tho
prisoners to suckle It. ' Its mother is dead,’ was tho
cold answer.' let the child die too.’ The Gcnoral,
himself a childless man, turned nurse himself. Some
brown sugar formed a part of his private stores, with
which he caused the child to be foa. Ho even took it
homo with him, and reared it up In his own family.”
The re-publication of tbo above bos reminded us of
an account given us some yearn since by a highly
respectable gentleman, who was present with others
when Gen. Jackson wna tho occupant of the Presi
dential mansion at Washington. When breakfast
was announced, the venerable patriot, with his guests,
entered tho room at one door, when Mrs. Donaldson,
with her two children, entered another at the oppo
site end. Immediately on seeing him, they ran to
blm to receive their morning kiss, Extending his
arms, and bending bis yet graceful form, hp caught
up first ono and then tbo other, caressing them with
all tbo fondness of a doting parent. They returned
to their mother, and all wore soon seated at tho table.
Bowing his head with all the humility of adepondant
suppliant, conscious of the rectitude of his intentions,
and yet feeling the need of a higher wisdom than his
own to enlighten and direct tho judgment,ho dovout-
voutly invoked the blessing of God.
Tho scene was deeply affecting, and drew tears
from tbo eyes unused to weening. Such was Andrew
Jackson at home. When culled upon to defend his
country, on the battle field, or to preside over her
councils, in seasons of peril, he was decided, resolute
and Irresistable. His mind, wonderfully intuitive,
comprehending at a glance, that which thoso of infe
rior intellectual powers could only reach and compre
hend by a laborious process of investigation, was “ a
law unto itself.” He was accused of rosbncsB, when

Tho Republican attempts to prejudice the people
of this city against Col. Sbwabd, by representing
him os the " enemy” of Savannah. It has even
spoken of his 11 implacable hostility” to this city.
Tho public have probably already learned that Bach
charges, coming from that quarter, amid tho heat of
a political canvas, are to bo token with sovoral grains
of allowance. At any rate, in tbo present case, our
neighbor has been hurried by partisan excitement
into an acoosation which the records will not sustain,
To show Col. Bkwaiid’8 position towards this city,
as well as towards the Brunswick Road, we publish
the following extract from a tetter of his, written
during last March. It was called forth by the con
trovers/ between the Albany Patriot, the Thomas-
ville Watchman, and the Republican. Penned at
tlmo of considerable excitement in South-western
Georgia, whatever " hostility” ho might have toward
Savannah, was likely to make its appearance in this
communication.
Horo is what he then said:
u Tliero 1* not that amount of opposition to Barannah in
this portion of Georgia, that our lriends in Savanpah seem
to think. In 1847, at the request of many of the citizens
of Thomas county, and in conformity with my own views,
I procured an amendment to the chartor of the Brunswick
and Florida Railroad Company, that we might if the
means could be obtained, open a railroad communication
with Savannah. I remember that Gen. Blackshear, who is
now identiQed with the Brunswick Road, was one of the
first to suggest this amendment.
No unkfndness towards Savannah has prompted our poo.
pie to favor the building of the Brunswick Road. Isolated
as they aro—donied tho advantages of a market, without
a ruinous tax upon the productive Industry of the people,
of from eight to ten dollars upon each bale of cotton, and a
corresponding expense upon other products—thoy were
moved, not only by what they conceived to bo thoir into-
rests, but by high necessity, to offor their help to the Bruns-
wick Company—whon this Company announced to them
that, if subscriptions to a limited amount could bo obtain
ed in Georgia, the Brunswick rood should be built. Wis
dom, interest, duty, and above all, necessity, requiredne-
tlrity, energy and industry, upon the. part of tho people
here, to sustain this company,
Had Savannah sought our trado, anil invited us to unito
with her in opening a like communication with that city. I
do not hesitate to say, tliat she would have beeu respond
ed to, to tho fullest extent of the means of our people.—
Aud, Indeed, oven now, in the event the Brunswick Compa
ny shell In rood faith complete their road, still there will
bean anxieVyjamong the citizens of this part of the State,
to have the benefit of the Savannah market; and when
Savannah shall confer with them upon tho subject, she will
without doubt, receivo the proper earnest of tholr desires,
by liberal subscriptions to accomplish tills object.
It is true that the opinion was prevalent at one tlmo, that
Savannah was endeavoring to thwart the plans of the Bruns
wick Company, and impair this Company's credit, and at
the same time pretendsdly org&nlzo the Savannah nnd Pen
sacola Company, and thus divide and distract the public
mind, and ultimately defeat tho Brunswick onterprlso, aud
then abandon tho Savannah nnd Pensacola organization,
This opinion being entertained, it may necossorily be sup
posed that more oi less unkind feeling was excited ; but, in
proportion ns the public confidence has increased in Savan
nah and Ponsacola (nterprise, and the honest and honora
ble efforts of the pocple of Savannah to sustain themselves
against a rival city, all unkinilnoas of feeling has passed
away.
Our people aro too Intelligent to censure Savannah, be.
causo of her unwillingness to aurrouder her commerce for
which she has tolled for years and apenther millions, with
out an effort to sustain herself.
I consider this controversy as usoless and unprofitable,
and I should not have said ono word, had I not been called
upon by the Albany J’abiof for an explanation, in reference
to some remaiki that have been attributed to myself.
Very respectfully, yours,
Jams L. Seward.

[Communicated.I
The Judgeship.
Messrs. Editors :—It lias been with much sur
prise wo have read the various articles which have
appeared In tho political papers of tho city, ia rela
tion to the Judgeship.' Tho writer had hoped that
this would not be made a party question. But al
ready have tho fears which led us to oppose the elec
tion of Judges by tho peoplo boon realized; for we
havo seen tho bickerings and animosities which at
tended tho choice of Judgo in the South-western Dis
trict; and wo are now threatened, in tho Eastern,
with a. like result From unmistakeablo signs,we
have reason to apprehend that saoh may here, also,
be the state of things. Let ns see how stands the
matter.
But, in tho first place, it may bo well to state that
two of our most eminent fellow-citizens, tho Hon.
Chas. S. Henry and the Hon. William B. Fleming,
aro candidates for the office. Of the ability, integrity
and solid worth of these gentlemen, wo can speak in
tho most flattering terms. Both have had experience
as Jurists; both have gained, by their able, fearless
and impartial administration of justice, our confi
dence and esteem. No matter which of the two may
ho again raised to tho bench of the Superior Court,
the District,oh faros that Court Is concerned,may be
sure that its judicial interests will bo confided to wise
nnd ablo hands. Now,between these gentlemen, we
intend, in this communication, to express no prefer
ence. Wo intend, if we may bo permitted, to make
our choico, irrespective of party influences and party
prejudices;.
Wo havo said that, from unmistakeablo signs, wo
feared lest the election, in this District, might be
made a party question. This has been inferred from
various editorials, which have appeared of late in the
political papers of tho city. However much disposed
tho editors may bo to keep tho matter out of politics,
it is clear that the question is assuming more and
more a political aspect. Who is responsible for this 7
and where lies the fault? Lot us seo at whoso door
rests tbo blame, that wo may know whero to affix
the responsibility.
Ip this connection, gentlemen, wc are free to state
that one cannot too highly commend your conrso in
relation to this matter. You havo endeavored to
keep the question aloof from politics. But you inti
mated, in Saturday’s issue, that you may bo driven
by the abuso of tho Republican to change your posi
tion. This is what the writer has been expecting and
fearing; he foresaw the influenco which the uncalled
for attacks of the Republican upon Col. Jackson, who
was then a candidate, but who has since, to tho great
regret of his Monde, withdrawn his name, must have
on your future conduct. If tho Judgeship ia mado a
party question, the intemporato zeal of the Republi
can may be thanked for it. By its ilings at Col. Jack-
son, it indicates too pl&lnly|ite own political rancor—
its own venom—its own spleen. And, while it dis
claims all intention of making tho matter a party
question, it shows that its conrso fa not honest, but
is governed solely by tho fact that its party is in the
minority in Uw District. This is the plain truth. If
the Whigs were in tho majority, tho Republican, we
suspect, would mako no violent opposition, were its
candidate the nomineo of the Whig party. Its true
policy now is, to keep the affair out of politics. This
is what tho Republican wishes to do—this is what tho
Republican cannot do. It is so thoroughly Whig; it
has such hatred and malice against every Democrat,
that even its own interests and the interests of its fa
vorite, cannot induce it to clonk its wrath and hide
its sting. So vindictive was it, as, of late, to parade,
with all the venom of its satire, what was once in Col.
Jackson an infirmity of nature—a slight and tran
sient attack of deafness. Is this tho proper spirit
with which a higli-toned Journal shonld go into such
an election 7 Can any ono believo, after the Rejmb-
lican has thus shown its truo character, that it does
not intend to carry into the contest all its party
spleen 7 Tho writer hopes he may be raiatakon, and
that the Republican may promise,for tho future, bet
ter things.
Let tho Republican contrast its conduct with that
of .the Georgian. Have you, Messrs. Editors, mado
any attack upon Judgo Fleming? If tho question is
to bo viewed through tho false medium of politics,
hns Judgo Fleming held no political heresies which
you might expose and denounce? Might you not call
to mind tho time, when Judgo Fleming attempted to
rally the scattered wings of his party around tho
standard—so odious to the South—which Scott, and
Seward, and Greeley had unfuried—a banner under
which even the Republican was ashamed to array it
self 7 Did it happen so long ago, aa to have passed
entirely from tho memory of your neighbor and co-
temporary? But wo forbear. You have not dono
this, Messrs. Editors, and for it, you deserve the
thanks of tho District. Wo hope that nothing may
induce you to make any personal ossanlt upon Judge
Fleming; for, whatever may be his politics, he is an
honorable and an upright man, and will make an
honorable and an upright Judge. So will Judge
Henry. Let tho people decide between them. Thoy
are perfectly well known to tho voters of the District,
and need no aid from the editors to mako them better
known. Lot tho editors stand nsido. This fa what
the voters in this contest expect and demand. As
tho election of Judges has been given by the Legfala-
latnro to tbo people, lot tho people bo free to make
their own Election. Let members of our Congress
and of ourState Legislature, and let all other purely
political offices be fair game for tbo editors, against
which they may point their barbed arrows and poi
soned shafts. But/ let the sacred office of Judge be
••“•from party abuso—let Its robes be kept nnspot-
from the scum and filth of partizan strife.
And now, Messrs. Editore, we are nearly done.

Cotton nna Corrals from the River Gila,.
Some samples of cotton, wheat, corn, and tho seeds
of vegetables, from the River Gila, whicli are cultiva
ted by tho Indians on that river, havo been left with
os by Mr. J, R. Bartlett. Tho cotton seems to bo of a
very superior quality. Ho has also left with us somo
blanket* and sashes, tho manufacture of those tribes.
The cotton seed will bo sent to the South lor cultiva
tion. Ho has also given us a sample of cotton, with
tho seed, from Par rasa, in Central Mexico, about 250
miles West of tbe Rio Grande, where it is cultivated
to a considerable extent, and manufactured into heavy
sheeting. There are threo small cotton mills near
tho town of Saltillo, doing a very good business in
making these goods from the cotton raised in the
country. Tho superintendent of one of these mills is
from Providence. The operatives are all Mexicans,
and are found to acquire the art of tending the looms
and other machinery, with great facility.
The power for these three cotton and five grist milts
is a little rivulet which issues from a spring near by ;
and so precious is water iu this region, that when the
mills are not in operation at night, the water is re
tained in a reservior abovo tho mill dam. After per
forming its work in the millB named, it is led off in
ditches to irrigate the lands near by. which by this
means alone, aro rendered fit for cultivation.
The I'imo and tho Cocomaricopa Indians of the
River Gila alluded to, occupy the only portion of the
valley susceptible of cultivation. They raise their
own cotton, wheat, corn, melons, boans and other veg
etables. Their cotton, which is of a suporior quality,
they spin and weave into a heavy discription of blan
ket of various sizes, which coustltute tho sole article
of wearing apparel for both sexes. They also make a
very pretty kind of sash or belt of different colors,
which fa used as an ornament for thehead os well asu
, (irt for the body. These Indians occupy a portion of
he same rioh valley, which was occupied in ancient
times by one of thoso semi-civilized races, which has
left so many remains in the country referred to.
One of tho most remarkable of theso edifices, and
in the best state of preservation is about twenty miles
from the Pimo villages. In tho intermediate spaco
are traces showing that the wholo district was occu
lted. From tho evidence* collected by Mr. Bartlett,
io believes theso Indians aro tho descendants of tho
same people, who la former times cultivated tho
wholo valley os far as it is Biisoeptiblo of cultivation,
but who have merely abandoned their customs of
erecting large buildings. All the other arts remain
with thorn; their pottery, however, seems to bo infe
rior to that found among tho ruins of the ancient edi
fices. They still cultivate tho soil as successfully os
tho Mexicans can do; and though neither can boast of
much industry, the Inians may bo said to be the most
thrifty. They dig largo and long canals for irrigation,
by which meanB alone thay aro onabled to render tho
soil productive. The few cattle that are necessary for
agricultural purposes, they raise. The IibAt fa bo in
tense, and tho atmosphere so dry, that but little cloth
ing is required.

rivers. These rivers, which aro large, form tho Colo
rado. Tho Vegas of Santa Clara is the furthest-west
erly point embraced in Capt. Gunnison’s instructions.
It was on a part of this route that Col. Fremont in
1848-9, met with a terrible disaster—losing all hfa
nnimafa and one-third of his men, who (tonshed of
starvation and the intenso cold of the mouutanious
region into which they had bcon misled.
Capt. Gunnison’s party consists of the following
persons:
Capt. J. W.Gunnfaon, Topographical Engineer.
Lieut. E.G. Beckwith, Commissary and Quarter
master.
It. N. Kerne, Topographer und Draftsman.
J.H. Peters and T. L. Hornuns, Assistant Engi
neers.
5 r - Scheel, 8nrgeon, Chemist and Mineralogist.
Fredirick Creutzfeldt, Botanistand Taxidermist
James A. Snyder, Assistant Draftsman.
At Westpsrt tho party will be Joined by an escort,
from Fort Lavenwortb, of thirty of tho mounted ri
fles, under command of Capt. Morris.
From the composition and organization of this
corps, there fa reason to expoct that tho route assign
ed to it will be faithfully examined ami fully describ
ed. Capt. Gunnison was associated with Capt. Stans-
buiy in tho party which was occupied in tbe examin
ation of the Salt Lake Basin, and fa thoanthorof
some highly Interesting sketches of that region of
country, and of tho peculiar peoplo who inhabit it.
With some portions of bti present route he is, there
fore, familiar, ne bos a deservedly high stauding in
tho Topographical Corps.
Mr. Kerne was with Col. Fremont in his expedi
tion to tho head waters of the Del Norte, already
mentioned, and has, of coarse, a vivid recollection of
certain portions of this line. He has been across to
California through Walker’s Pass, on a lower rente
