PUTNA M-DI:rr Sir . knowing that there are reports dleroga tory to lands you ripresent, and nl o to you and others, who have published Tetters in reference to this colony, we take pleasure in stating that we have examined carefully much of the land lying between t lie rivers Rio Grande Lnd Moho, and find, in our estimation, one of the finest countries thtn, can be imained; affording nore factilties for a flantiing confni'ti y than we have ever decig any where else. We believe that -a thou'aid farmilies call finid eltigibld niter Nai room' on this.tfat, for l'Yomuesto'ds. We mero bi fo'rtued that the Moto River has five feet six inches in low water And sevet feet in' the. raiiiv season on thme bar at the niouth, aind'dep'lih for a.y steantb'oat from the month to tho first rapid, fifteen miles up. The Rio Grande has two feet six incies on the bar ii th dry season, and four in the wet, . and good navigation for fifteen or twenty Miles. Houses are being erected for the tempora'ry use of emigrants, until they can locate on their homesteads, on the bay shore; at a' beluatihul.locntipn here " tofore known as the "CJattle Landing, whore there must be a town of consider. able importance Svhen' the bisek-country is settled up Hero is'io best landing jlaceo on the coast anywhere fouth of Deep River. A blufi' of seven feet in height on the beach, rises thence until at a distance of about 100 feet back it attains an elevation of fifteen feet (ht.ere we have a lot for a warehou to for the use of settlers,) and for eight mile's hack there is scarcely any wvutor bitt sneh ns is runniug in beautiful .ereebs, with iiocky beds, and wamter as cleat' as cr vstal and cool enough to be quiite palat'able. The location we have selected for a set iement is about fotur or fivo mules bak of "Catsie Landinig," and is' a~ddssible by truck-path ever high rich country, fiossessing the superior adivantage "of davailable water communication all the year by both these riverae, and is withal ini close proximity to the mountains.

It is true there is swampy land, and some of it overflowed, but then pioporto'n is perhaps a small as any cogtgy where' thiedosst is not mountain. tiltund, S'omo of us have. examined a qgreaptlipe portions ol, the colony, say Manatie, Southi Stannm Creek, and l46weon 'Middle rivor and Golden 8ttgatm,'here wd'flave seen some very goodI lands an4 'ery good settlements.

In some tlaces In this coimiirv there is aln insect called "bottle fly," sinilar to the "buffalo gnat" of the States, that is very annoying in the day lime, but, doeS not. stir after aniset.

We know of the existence of no other secret political society than this in the South ; it is this society more than any other one thing that has lite ally "inaugurated I-1' in these States ; it is through the machinery of this society that such mon as Ash hurn have stirred lip strife in quiet arid law-abiiding et immunities ; it was this society thant drove thousands of' unw ill ig voters to the piolls at thme late election in Alabama ; it wats uni dier the auspices of this society (Ih at a banner was borne in' public procession through the streets of Macon, only the other day, denounoing deatth to every man who should refuse or fail to vote the Radical ticket. .This is the only secret political sooiety of' which we Jialvi any knowledge in the SouthI.
