Those hammocks and swamps vary in extent from forty, to forty thousand acres, and will probably average 600 acres each*— Hence, the inliamtanta have it every whero in their power to select widenmin the pine lands, at such convenient distances from tho hammocks and swamps as will enable them to cultivate tho latter without en dangering their health. Experience In Florida has zatfafectorialy shown that residences only one mile distant from cultivated hammocks are entirely ex empt from miasmatic disease; and that the negroes Who cultivate these hammocks, and retire at night to a pine land residence, maintain perfect health.— lie an advantago which none of the other South- Tblsii era States enjoys, except, indeed, to a very limited extent; and East Florida forms, in k this respect, a Striking oontrast with Louisiana and Mississippi, whose sngar and cotton lands are surrounded by vast alluvial regions, subject to frequent inundations, so that it is impossible to obtain within many miles of them a healthy residence. „ The lands which In East Florida are, par excellence, denominated “rich lands,” are—first, tho swamp lands; second, tho low hammocks : third, the high hammocks , and forth, the " first rate pino, oak, and hickoiy ” lands. The swamp lands are unquestionably tbo tnostdu- rably rich lands in the country. They are the most recently formed lands, and are still annually receiv ing additions to tbelr Burfaco.

Ensign Brownhlll, or the Gold Coast corps. wlth a party of thirty soldiers, suc ceeded In bringing them back. Thoy were secured In 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.

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 .to navigation, all along tho rivers of tho country. 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.

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.

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 ho sboald have been praised for superior wisdom.— But, wbiio in a manner ho was tho accomplished gen tleman, his truo manhood was most conspicuously displayed in the sphere of the social and domestic af fections.

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.

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. ~'fa communication fa written in the hope that good dinil oonnty'm'eotings.As tbf'tfmefbr holding tho Conven tion for the pttrposo of nominating a candidate for from the First Congressional District, igates who compiled with t|ie call, assem- hied In the Court House, and upon a cat! from the counties, It appearing that few counties were repre sented, the Convention was orglnlsod by oalUng the Hon. iMBTANca Hall to the Chair, and Dr. Pjuli* KtmuiR appointed Secretary.

II PA88KNGEKa7~ 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. “ mni FIRST CONGRUBSIONAIi DISTRICT.
