SIR: In compliance with your request, I will now proceed to give a brief topogra- of the curious part of our Territory, in within the lawful hours of sale, the following pro perty, to wit: Two Hundred and Fifty Acres of Land, . on the waters of Bigg creek, adjoining Alexander 1 phical and historical sketch and others, and known as Lot No. 165, in the 8th I and interesting part of ou _ stance of GeoTgc Murphy and others, vs. said Mont-1 -*- * ie twenty townships exposed to sale last gomery—the Land pointed out by defendant.

The only regret which I feel in contempla ting this beautiful region, is its very limited extent—an Osis, which appears to have been formed, by nature, in one of her most sportive and fantastic Humours. The gen eral substratum, perhaps a few feet above the level of the sea, is a soft lime- stone, of recent formation. In the pine wood plain, which stretches towards the highlands of Tallahasse, the stone is often found in mas ses on the surface. ; About sixteen miles from the port of St. Mark’s we begin to ascend, and enter the country described; the ridge forming, in some measure, a barrier to the passage of the water to the sea ; on the contrary, the streams, in general, rising near the summits of the hUls, flow downward, until they reach the general bed of the lime stone, where they either sink into the fissures of the rock or spread out in lakes, which have their sub terranean passages ; but they again rhe on the south side of the ridge, and form some of the largest springs in the world. The Wa- kullen comes forth at once, a noble river, two hundred yards in width, its source not less than one hundred feet in depth, and so transparent, that apersoh standing by the side of it, feels as though he were on the edge of a precipice. The lakes of Tallahassee a-, bound in fish ; the trout, bream, perch, and soft shelled turtle; and in winter, with wild fowl. The soii, as well on the uplands as in the valley, is adapted to the culture of the sugar cane, rice, sea-island cotton, and In dian corn. Hitherto }t has been healthy, and it is fair to presume that it will continue so ; the winters are of course mild, and be rithin the reach of the sea breeze, the lieat of summer is greatly moderated. The appearance of a dense population, I we hn which seems at one time to have covered this country, has induced me to make some enquiry. While at Havana, I could learn nothing; but while at Charleston, 1 met with an English work, Roberts’ account of Florida, 1763, whiclj, gives a piece of histo ry apparently but little known. The dis trict of Apalache. it appears, was inhabited by a race called Attimaco Indians, with whom the Spaniards have become intermin gled. The Bamassee Indians, who lived near St. Augustine, backed by those of A* palache, made frequent excursions into the new settlements of South Carolina, threaten ing them with total destruction. In conse quence of this, Col. Moor, Governor of that state, made three inroads into their country in the years 1702, 4 and 6, march ing to the Flint river, and then taking a di rection to the south, towards Tallahassee- In his last expedition he entirely defeated the Spanish Governor, a Don Juan Mexia, kil- ,n ling and taking prisoners above eight hun dred of the Spaniards and Indians—Don Mexia himself being one of the prisoner Col. Moor transported 1400 of the Indians god fixed them in a settlement near the Sa vannah river. The Settlements were com pletely destroyed. This agrees tolerably well with the traditionary account of the old Indian Chcfixico, who says his father told him the settlements formed by the. intermar riages of the Spaniards and Indians, had been destroyed by a great warrior, after three different invasions. Chefixico says that when a boy, the country was so open as to be scarce of game, and was not resor ted to by the Indians until the forest grew Spaniards proceeded through extensive fields of corn, beans, pumpkins, and other vegetal bies which extended on either side of the' road farther than the eye could reach. Be tween the fields a great number of houses Were scattered about without any order, as in the villages. On the next day the governor went in advance, with 200 Cavalry and 100 infantry, and Reached the principal town, which he found deserted. It consisted of 250 large good houses, in which he lodged his army, while he himself occupied the resi dence of the Cacique. Besides tins town; there was throughout the whole, district, at the distance of half a league, a league, and a league and a half, villages- containing sixty or a hundred houses: besides h vast number of dwellings, scattered about without order- The face of the whole province is delightful, the land fertile, with a great abundance of provisions, and a plenty of fish, which the natives catch all the year, and preserve fof The governor and his followers were Mare ton William Jones, vs. said Whorton and Cobb—property I sea-board.

Th|re are, also, frequently to be met with, grassy, ponds, surrounded glades, whici»afford excellent pasture. The strawberry, the wild grape, ;and plum, are delighted to see this country arid its fertility, but found the Indians fierce Arid warlike* To shew the fertility of this province, It suf fices to say. that the whole of the Spanish army, together with the Indians in their ser-> vice, exceeding 1,500, and three hundred horses, subsisted on the supplies taken at first; and when they stood in need of any addition, they never went more than a league and a half to procure it. The country is al so well suited to the raising of every kind of live stock, having fine woods, excellent, wa ter, lakes, ponds, and reeds, whiclLjyittfe eat so readily, as not to require any Jiind of grain in addition. It is also well adapted t<* the culture of silk, from the gTeat quantity of mulberry trees ; and there is besides, Aw a-* bundance offish of an excellent quality. 5 ’) This description is wonderfully acc^fite. The settlement of this country ma^ perhaps be dated from the year 153C ♦ which, until the destruction in 1706, would be nearly years. It is probable that'a part or De Soto*? army rosined in possession | . bo^ves/nBy^wenrii account of the exact period at whidfff trfc Spaniards made their settlements. It isv^ated by Roberts, that previous to their d<^Sinction by Gov. Moor, they carried on a able trade with Havana, by small After the destruction, the comity appears have been lost sight of by Eur&pear powers ; the Spaniards made no -attempt tc settle it again ; and it was not until about the year 1763, that the Briurh built the present Fort of St. Mark’s, but formed no settlement, perhariS’on account of thd hos^i tilities of the Muskogee Iildidns ; fwhd \ f , then possessed it. During the period thd Spaniards subsequently possessed it, the Seminoleans and Muscogees carefully for bade gny one to enter it. Asa proof of' how little it was known to the Spaniards, l will mention the fact, that there is not a ingle Spanish grant in the whole of it : the grant Of Forbes merely approaches its borders. In some eld maps it is marked “ the Apalache old fields.” The march 0? Gen. Jacksoil into this district, in 1818, hi pursuit of the Seminole Indians, was thb first notice we ever had of it. It is now about three years since our settlements be gan ; ahd contains a population of about 2000 souls, wlych is tap idly increasing. By the last census, Tallahassee contained about 800 and 5 or 6 mercantile establish* , ments, which an up ; that it was then full of Orange ahd Fig' trees, and the roads and bridges still to be seen. At present the traces of the rGads are still visible, and also numerous sites of villages, forts, and private residences, number of towns are laid down on the old maps, the principal of which are, St. Ma thew, St. Aspalaga, Ocon, Tapalaga, St. Mark de Apalache, Ayavala, San Pedro &c. No such place as St. Louis is marked and 1 am at a loss to know on what author* ity the ruins of a fort near Tallahasse has jeon called by that name. The district of Apalache, we learn, from Garcillass de la Vega, was very populous at a period more remote. Pamphile de Nsr- vaes was the first who discovered the bay of Apalache, but was compelled to retreat on board his vessel wWi great loss. This is the same person who was afterwards ap pointed by the governor of Cuba to super sede Cortes-in the conquest of Mexico. Ele ven years after the landing of Names, that is, in 1540, the celebrated Hernando Soto landed at Tampa bay, and marched along the coast, until he came to Apalache, of which a very curious and interesting des cription is given. “ The governor and his companions having beqn informed, in the town of Osachile, that the province of Apa lache, which they had heard so highly prais ed, as well on account 'of the abundance and fertility of the soil, as for the valor of its inhabitants, was now at no great distance, were desirous to see whether it was as fer tile as it was represented to be” After a slow and tedious., march, opposed at every step by parties of Indians, and after several bloody engagements, he reached vines. “ At daylight,” he observe extensive busiriesSJ^ One wing of the Capitol, a handsome brick# building is now completed, and occupied; [ TheV| 1 this winter by the legislative council, country begins to wear the appearance oft cultivation ; good roads ire made in all dl- rectlons, and carts, waggons, and carriages are constantly travelling them.
