HISTORICAL NOTES. o u by j* a. kohl, v. 8. coast scbvey. Maryland.?In the year 1632 King 2 Charles I. gave a charter to Cecilius Calvert, Lord Baltimore, and granted to him a tract j of land lying in that |mnin&uln, between the t ocean and Chesapeake bay, and round the t northern extremities of that same bay, and c ordered this land to be called Maryland, -h in honor to the Queen Henrietta Maria, the j, consort of Charles I. She waa of the Calli- ^ olio religion, like Lord Baltimore himself, c and likewise the greater part of tho settlers which he carried out. The name appears ,, for the first timo in the charter of Maryland t of the 20th June, 1032. v It is not quite impossible that Lord Bill- n iimore and his associates, in proposing to ( the King that name, had aho at tho s<tme time tho old Spanish maps of North Ameri- , f.'? Iwfnrn llioir on wliicti (llioMnmit-u bay is called St. Mary's bay, (Buhia de ? Santa Maria,) and iliat they had a desire to ( carry back to this bay that old and histori- u cal name. This is, however, only my sug- v geslion, and I cannot prove it. It may bo t n more accident that the name Maria was j as well in modern as in nncient times applied to the same regions, lint what we c call accident in history is often secretly v linked together by an association of ideas y which escapes our research. s I made this suggestion on a former occasion, whero I, however, expressed my ideas , perhaps a little too ]iosiiively and in too t sutntnary a manner. A highly respected t gentleman from Baltimore has blamed this f w ith much justice in the Intelligencer of | the 1st October. If lie, however, Bliould be | of the opinion that the Calverts and their ( associates, and their Catholic missionaries, ( who explored and settled the territory of fl Maryland, thought, in giving this name, ex- t clusivclyof the Queen Henrietta Maria, and y not at all of the llo'.y Virgin, then I be lieve he is not quite right in this. It t was amongst Spaniards and French, and 8 amongst all Catholic colonists and discov- Q erors, very customary to vow a now country () or place, to which they gave a name in honor of sonio person, at the same time to |9 the protection of that Saint which boro the t( same name. They would, for instance, call n a place named after Christopher Columbus, j not "Christophoro," but St. Chrislophoro," n because they thought at once as well of the v man as of his protecting saint. That something similar was going on at the baptism i. of Maryland seems to me not unlikely, from the circumstance that the first principalset- ;? dement of Maryland was called St. Mary, v and that this settlement, as well as the sur- j| rounding country, is called still to this very -j day by us Protestants St. Mary. The fact [ that tho old forgotten name Mary in later j. times returned to the same legions appears j, to me at all events to be one of the so called u "cufious coincidents in history worthy to le t) pointed out." / virginia.?The coast of the country w which we uow nume Virginia is said to have been known to the old Northmen. t] One of them, Gudleif Gudlnugsen, is said H to have sailed in the year 1028 so far to the () south. He is supposed to have called the p country Huitramannaland, the Land of ihe j WLitemen, which may be considered the ^ oldest and first name under which these regions ever became known to the Europeans. u The Spaniards, from 1520, included the c land under the unmes of Terra ae Ayllon tj and Florida, and the French, from 1563, under the name of Nouvelle France. The u English invented tho name Virginia at first n (1583) for tho country lying round Pamli n co and Albemarle Sound. They adopted p this name, it ia said, for two reasons: first, (] k, :> j: :n i/cvauau it WHO uiotutoicu 111 VIIU ICI^II ui ^ their Virgin Queen, Elizabeth; and, second- tj ly, "became the country 6eeined still to re i, tain the viigin purity and plenty of the tiroL f, creation, and the people there the primitive innocence." j w They extended this name at onco over a j (| great part of the cast coast, and particularly p over the vicinity of Chesapeake bay, which j ,] was already discovered from the Koauoke \ ti settlements, and which we see included un- ! a der the name of Virginia on the first map f, of Virginia, 1590. i] When, after 160G, the Chesapako Bay |, was belter explored and settled, and when t it became the principal centre of the English settlements on the east coast, this re- j gion was par excellence called Virginia, ( sometimes New Virginia, whilst the former t settlements and country rouud Albemarle 0 Souud, Tlicn forsaken, were sometimes (for instance, o n a map of Capt. J. Smith) call- t cd Ould Virginia. This was, h"wever, c more a popular manner of denomination. j| The official or legal name of the country was, in the year 1006, by King James I, p thus confined: He callod Virginia, or the ( Virginian territory or coast, the whole east tj const of North America, from the thirty- s fourth to the forty fifth degree of northern latitude. This whole territory was divided r by the royal pateut into two parts, a north- f, ern and u southern. Tho southern com- | ( :_ si.. si. .s m .i si. i?.: I lUCIIieu III lilt) b(JU111 III Oft (K ?. Iiurill liill ;t tilde and ended in the north at about the t 40 deg. north latitude. It was calied the y First Colony, or the Southern settlements H in Virginia, or Virginia proper. , i Authors and other nrivato men took, however, the liberty to invent other names, ! according to their own taste, and tried to H give them currency. So ono author des- j v cribes, in the year 1009, the territory of our j , present Virginia under tho name of Nova ; y B/itania. Another (Strachey, in tho year ! r 1012) calls it the Colony in Virginia Bri /, tania, (the Colony in Virginian Hritany.) i These names, however, remained only in ( the books. ' (j When Capt. .1. Smith and Prince Charles ] invented and introduced (1616) for North- (| ir _ v t-s ?ui > irgmia me new mime 01 .m-w r.ng- j c land, the appellation Southern Virginia j disappeared, and was changed to Virginia i j{ simple. u iiy the separation of the Territories of g Maryland, (1632,) ofCorolana, (1629.) and n of Caroliua, (1663,) the name and province ; fr of Virginia lost a great deal of their former ( extension, and received at last their present ! limits, between 38 deg. and 30 12 deg. north latitude, so far as our coast is con- it cerned. The changes of the boundaries to- si \ wards the interior regions have no interest 1 c here for us. tl Florida.?The name which the country to the north of Cuba had amongst the Indians of the Lucnyau Island* was "Oautio" P the signification of which is, as lierieia '' gives it, rather obsure. The Spaniards heard this country "Comtio" already spoken of before they saw it. 'I hey heard also of the famous and fabulous fountain of youth of which the Indians had o .a tradition, and which was called the foun- ni tain of Rimini. From this fountain the rr country to the north ItaeJf was sometimes ' * called *'Bimini ** On some of lire fiistmapa p 4P >f the sixteenth century it ia also calle Terra de Cuba," (the oountry of Cuba m if there were, 1, an island of Cuba, au< !, a continent of Cuba. When Ponco tie Leon, iu the spring < 6X2, discovered this const ho gave to lie name of "Florida," (the florid,) froi wo reasons, as lierrern says?at first lx ause the country presented a very flourisl ug and pleasant aspect, and then bocaui ie saw the coast at that festival-day wbic he Spaniards call "Pascua Florida" vvhic orrenpouds to our Palm Sunday. This name has since that lime always n named to the large peniusulnr which w o this day call Florida, though tho nam vas sometimes taken in different sense md though sometimes there liavo been a cmpts mado <piite to do away with it. At first, so long as Florida was suppose o be an island, the name had only a vei imiled application. When the Spaninrd iftor tlm year 1520, discovered, boweve he continuation of the coasts on both sid< >f Florida, they applied this name to tl vhole western half of North America, froi he boundaries of Mexico and from Capo i 'lorfUa towards the north, in indefinituu fhe so called "Government of Florida" wi ifton given to different Spanish Governo rithin the said limits. Tho "Rio de li Palmas" (Palm river in Mexico) was tli outli western boundary of this Governmeri We see tho name ef Florida on man naps, with large loiters, written throug he wholo Mississippi valley, throughoi ho whole area of tho United States; an ven as late as tho year 1723 tho Spanis listorian Barcia treated, in tho work whic re calls "The History of Florida," also < Canada, and oven of the English cxped ions for a discovery of tho Northwest Pa: ;age. This latter passage tho Spanish at hors very often style "a Strait throuy Florida." Ilerrera, howevor, already remarks thi ho name of Florida was tnken in two ser es; it had a more extensive and a narrov r meaning. In the latter sense the p< insula was called "Florida par excellence, Some authors looked upon this peninst :i only as upon a largo tongue or promor ory attached to the great Floridian conl ...i i l a ).. n i . uii t, rtini iiiiiuuu i% luv I n;?iu?i'7ry ? 'lor id a" (Promolorium Floridie.) 0 lany old maps wo seo this name cover th rhole peninsula. Slill oilier names for the whole peuensi i grew out, as it were, from its root or froi .s Southern point. At the timo of the Spai di Governor I>on Pedro Mencndez, in tli ear 1566, the Spaniards discovered ner lie Cape of Florida an Indian village callv 'equesta or Teguesta, also written Tegest; 'his often spoken-of village the map-rut ers put down on their maps, and change . to a " Pro vine ia de Ttyesta," (a provinc f Tegeste.) Some authors applied tli ame to the whole peninsula of Floridi 'bus, for instance, did Laet, in his work r rell as on his maps. (A. L). 1633.) When the French discovered and settle le Mississippi valley and named it Louisi na, they extended this name and their pre insions as far as possible; and on on "rench map by Nic. de For, of the yon 713, we see the name "Peninsule de Tjoi riarte" even given to our Peninsula of Flor a. This was, however, only a single an nfortunate attempt, which had no furthr onsequences either in geography or pol ics. The Spaniards, on their side, gave nc p their pretensions to claim, under th tune of Florida, much more thnn the eighburs, the British, to the north, and th 'rench to the west, would allow them. Bi le Spaniards extended, before 1763, thei clual possession and government in Flor a towards the east not further than Mr ile Bay and river, and to the north nc irther than the St. Mary's rivor. When, in the year 1763, the Floridr /ere ceded to Great Britain, and also a lie French dominions east of the Mississi) i, then the boundaries of the nnme Flor a were exteuded again. Great Britain e ablishcd two provinces of Florida, "Au. nd Hr<rs< Florida."

In the year 1783 Great Britain retroci led the Floridaa to Spain, and Spain ; he same time received tho possession < lie whole of French Louisiana to the ne if the Mississippi. Now, for the first time, Spain held in hi ual possession all the shorca of tho Mex an Gulf, Hiid all the countiioa lying aroun t. Spain adopted the English division i Eastern and Western Florida?Florid Oriental and Occidental?nnd retained ah lie extension of this name as far as the Mi ippi Delta. The 31st degree of north latitude, whic tins not much further than forty mill rom the northern shores of the Mexico ii 1 f and is parallel to it, was agreed upo s tho northern boundary of "the Floridai wards tho United States. So, since tl ear 1703, the untno of Floiida extendi gain over half the circuit of the shores < he Mexican Gulf. But soon after the cession of Louisian o the United States Florida was curtaile gain. The United States claimed tl reetern part of it as far east as Perdid iver, received tho possession ol it in tl car 1811, and joined it to their "Territ ?j of Mississippi" and afterwards of "Ah a ma." Since this lime (1811) the dominion* lie name of Florida has not change hough the so called country changed, ti 821, its masters, when Spain ceded it I lie United Stales.
