From the Baltimore .Americnn.

From Report of Captain James Ramage, of
the Y. S Navy, we collect the following partic-
ulars Of the seveR; harbours possessed by the
U States in the Gulpb of Mexico, particularly
that Of Pensacola. The Importance Of select
ing some military position for the defence OF
the great commerce which seeks the outlet Of
the Gulph, renders this subjec, Of much in
rerest. Captain Ramage, after stating his o.
pinons Of the different harbours Of importance,
gives the preference to Pensacola
ST. Joseph's Bay, east of that Of Pensac ola, is
extensive, and affords secure anchorage 10
vessels drawing not more than IL feet. But as
it is formed by low, narrow neck Of land, the
distance from which 10 the nearest part OF the
main land is more than three miles, there would
be great difficulty in defending the entrance of
the Bav, especially as the neighbouring coun-
try is barreu soil, which cannot, for long
time, supply the necessaries of life, Del Espi
rituo Santo, or Tampa Bay, south of st. Jo-
seph's, is safe and extensive harbour for YES
sells drawing not more than l9 feet. Two ISL
ands at its mouth form two channels easily de-
feasible, and the surrounding country would at,
ford many supplies necessary for naval purpo'
ses; but the great distance to which the shoal
water extends from the coast, and the narrow
& intricate channel leading into the bay, would
render the entrance dangerous and difficult to
vessels oflarge draft
Tie Mississippi, the Apalachicola, and Mo-
bile and Pensacola Bavs, will always be the
great outlets to the Gulf, and therefore require
protection. In reference to this purpose, Pen
sacola has decided advantages over the other
places mentioned. While the country contig
uous to ST Joseph's and Tampa Bays has ma
tural defects which will prevent it, ever hav'
ing dense population, and will therefore never
supply the aid Of militia in an emergency, PEN
sacola has near it country rapidly augment
inr,i,s population; besides which, the powerful
states Of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana
are on the north and west, and can easily be u
nited to it by internal water communication
1t has good channel, and sufficient depth OF
water both on the Bar and in the Bay, Tor ves-
sells OF not more than 81 feet draft. The an
chorage is every where excellent, and sufficient
for the largest navy. 1t can be defended with
ease, and at a small expense, and is healthy
position. II can furnish all the materials Tor
building and equipping vessels OF war; and
must eventually be regarded as the key oil the
Gulf.
We extract from Williams's View Of West
Florida, the following account OF its infant cap
ital, a city three years Of age.
Tallahassee, the seat of government for the
territory, is situate in Leon county, about TWEEN
ty two miles north by west from Fort St>Marks,
and about midway between the eastern wes-

commanding eminence, in the bosom Of fer
tile and picturesque country. A pleasant mill

city, until it falls, fifteen or sixteen feet, into
gulf, scooped out by its own current, and final
ly sinks into cleft Of the rock, at the base of
an opposite hill. Numerous springs fiow from
the southern border Of the town In every part
of the place, good water may be obtained BY
sinking wells from six to thirty feet. In the
spring Of 1924, the first house was erected in
Tallahassee. The FIRST legislative council sat
there, in the winter of the same year. In the
winter of 1926, it was incorporated, and the
government of tn. city was vested in an inten.
dant and five aldermen 1t now contains eight
hundred inhabitants, and hundred and twenty
houses. The corner stone Of the state house,
was laid in January, 1926; and one wing of the
building erected during that season. Several
religious societies have been established, Ma
sonic Lodge, and Agricultural Society. The
market is yet small, but we'll supplied with
meats. Beef, mutton, and pork, are plenty and
cheap. Venison, tame and wild fowls and fish,
are also reasonably low. Bread stuffs have yet
been dear, owing to the rapid increase of pop
ulation; which has outrun the expectation OF
the eight or ten merchants established there.
Few towns in America have increased more
rapidly than Tallahassee; and population and
improvement continue, without any abatement
