In March list I v’si'ed that s>t. Ion of country
and wa- ifo'it follv convinc. d tliut the iiuttirnliidvan-
t igc possessed by this pi <ee, cool i i ot lung temoin,
unnoticed byiho commercial world, nml tit it the
woik you now contemplti'c opening cntiM not fail
to mtract very genctalQUcnliou in n short time.
The Mira riiirity nf Sapcln, like til t of New Yoik,
is ' founded on nature," liml if improved by the
enlightened wisdom of aninte hgeot inmunndiy, it
cannot he looked upon with “cold i .difference or
stern neglect," hot will h.dillv assert that c.immer-
cial prc.riiiin lie*-, for wldeh miture ha* so well
qu d fi d lior.
Iisndvamages me:first, it« fine port and harbor,
second to none, if not superior to any, that lies
botwc *ii Norfolk and Cm o Florida. A liar with 19
feetwnterut lo v, and 27 feet ul high tide, which
gives sufficient dm-ght lor the lnrge-t moiclamimen
und for oil ve-se's of W"ir, save line of ha<tle .hip;
with n bay sutfieiontly ciparioosf r five bandied
vessels to ride at anchor, in six fa thorn water, un

Its second advantage is, its position North of the
rn. uth of the A ntnmaha river.wlnch places it on the
most direct line til trade between tin* capital of the
no th, and the Interior and west of G orgia—which
position throws nil the idlhunen of the capital of
the cities ofSavuiinah, Charleston, New York and
Boston, in its favor—all t-riding to uugmout und
foster the' gro» th of the p'nre.
For, it is n ci imncrciai nx inn th it “ dine minty
of coin mimical i"tt with respect to time wdl g.ivoru
the cuur-e of trod".’* It was th knowledge . ( this
principle which led iherelnhint- d Duke o! Bridge*

Mersey, in Euglao I. amid th.' *n<* rs and taunts ot
the scepticnl; the rive* trut iiav'-g .hie, but lluumui-
gutlon was impel feet and uncertain.
He succeeded in opening the work, nnd became
the richest Wn in England. It wn* this canal which
rontrihti'od mo*t to the present mu-xuniplcd com-
ra -rcial prnsperily > f Liverpool.
Tho stock of that ennui which first cost £ 100 per
share, is now, or w as last year, selling ut £720 per
share; und the river M *r-cy Is left n d.*s» rted steam.
The knnwledge of the saoie | rinciple, printed out
to tho great Clinton the fuel, tliut the city of Now
Y»rk, must take the lend of Imt then r.val, Mon
treal as soon ns the canal wns opened from the
west; nnd experience hug proved llie corrector
of his n ininn.
The third advantage it enjoys, U the healthfu'.
nes* of the Inc lity, occasioned by tho entire exempt*
tion from till fresh water marshis aid rivers, the
well ostubdshed cause of fever in our southern
cities.
And its fourth npd grand advantage is its crlrnl
positiuM on the Atlantic, wi h regaid to the great
cotton g owing country nfGeorgia Alabama, Florida
South Tennessee and Mi*»iMi|.p ; and its pioxuuity
to tho great natural outlet of the sou. hern staph*, the
Alatnnvrhn.
A geographical view of the country will at onco
demostrate the immense prosperity that willnritu
fn-m cultivating the advatituges, which nature has
so liberally dispensed, open this cominunici.iii.ii,und
this place, on account of its vicinity to the biuud
ocean nnd the invi.riub e laws of trade, will lie ut
once connected by the ties ol . omine.ee, with the
north and with the world. No longer dependent
upon your capital for opp rt, sin* will become i
once a commercial *• at ubnundfoc with warelioUx
and cotton dcolcis, from nil patt.»of he countr.- und
from Europe.
In support of this opinion, I will state ihc fact;
thnt “every commodity wilt seek it* muiket wheie

with every niRiitfe*tnli«n uf friendship, und I was
informed thnt tho *nme feeling existed in nil thn

for J bo federal cause.
The tedends have strong renrani to hope tfint the
clouds of oppression which hang lowering over the
political horix mi of that foil but diMrurtcd e. unuy,
will ere long be dispersed by the dawn of happier
days. They consider ilirii prospects of.um'ss much
fairer than they Itnvo ev« r been since the subversion
of the govetiiment and constitution of 1824. Their
army is dui y augmenting, having increased from
fivchutalr <1 (the whole nmoiiut of our forces al the

503 niuti wero expected to reinforce the nrmy in a
few days after we left, and in pvety town in which
the fed-'ial banner is unfurled, it is liuilcd with on*
thuriu-m.
It is prolmhlaihnt th.-feilrnd nrmy will not mnke
n movement against Maiuim.ras heiore spring. The
riduetiotiofih.it place would in* a sovero blow to
the cause of centralism in the north, ns it is itv-com
mercial d. pot of tlie country within 200 miles of
the Rio GiMi.de. The custom homo depot uncut of
this place produces a iiumlsume revenue to the gov
ernment, which, if throw n into the hands of the fed-
erulikts, would enable them tocariyon the war with
gie.uer activity. The Atiglodedernlii s wlm were
at Matainoias, won d have attacked the place if
their force hud been 500 meu,wi bout the aid of the
Mexican federal*, and with a strung probability of
success.
When nt Matom»rns, a cnp'aln of tips enemy,
who lunl expiessed himself favorable to federalism,
and in coi>s.'i|iicnen wns pm under a> rest f«r Some

most deplorable, being werked from light until dark
without iiitermissi'ju, and in othor respects trenU'd
so nnmciciiiilly that, n»u*o his own words, “a
mudo his heart bleed to witness it."
Gen. Canales deserves much ciedit for his untir
ing exertions in ihocuu-o lie hitsrspousi d, Although
ho met with several revers. s. ho hns sustained
himself for the Inst twelve months, nml has never
despaired of ultimate success. He appreciates highly
