wboha been for some time on Iho Utila
river, returned to this city eight or ten
day ago, under rather unfavorable cir
cumstance, caused by violations of In
structions, which ware clear, express and
not to be misunderstood. This rendered
hi recall necessary, he having disgraced
hi position and proved himself unworthy
the.trutt confided in Mm by tho govern
ment. He was enjoined not to trade with
the Indians in any way or minner, but
wa empowered to grant Denies toothers
to trade with the Indians. He according.
ly granted licenses in several instances,
thouuh not without coupling the same
with certain conditions, that of taking into
partnership a ton In one Instance, and in
another a nephew, in order that he might
remotely, If notdireclly, derive some pe.
cunlary advantage therefrom; not satis
fied with thi. he drove quite a brisk trade
on hi "own hook" with tho Indian in

should have been made. This, however,

Before any of the dams were ready to

It seems lhat those who were somewhst
in advance nl tho ruth for Ihii river, im.
mediately, each for hlmtclf, laid claim to
a sufficient portion or tlio bed of th river
for, from 10 lo 20 men to workout In one

Pumps of dillerent kinds aro in uso with

of tamo width as tho pump nro fastened
one at each end, upon which the canvass
rolls. Upon this cloth, al a distance of
10 or IB inches apart, aro fotltncd blocks,
nicely filling Ihe pump, and when put in
motion; the block finding water in Iho
lower end of iho pump, force it up until II
empties ilsilf outof the top, and then runs

This Company havo two of tlieto pumps,
end Ihey are answering a very good pur

pump I havo aecn on Ihe river, is worked
by water power on iho "Glpsey" cltlm,
about two tulles below Mcotta bar. It is
a screw pump, and probably tho prliiolpln

pump wis constructed at great expense,
