EARLY ENTERPRISE


Much of the early history of Louisiana
and Mississippi is marked by daring and
indomitable spirit of enterprise th~t ELECTS
our admiration.
Among the earliest emigrants of Mis-
sissippi was the family of Swayze, the an.
ceStors Of member of the LOUISIANA Lee
gislature, who Is distinguished himself for
his patriotic resolutions and activity in the
General Assembly. Many of the oldest
of this connection were personally known
to the writer of this; and who were actors
in the daring enterprise of colonization
near Natchez, under the British govern
ment.
In the year 1862, Amos Ogden, re-
duced Captain in the British Navy, re-
ceived from the King of England, in
Council, mandamuS 10 the Governor OF
Florida, 10 lay off and grant to Capt. Og-
den %, 900 acres of land. With this or
der Captain Ogden, after some time, APP
peared in New York; and, by accident
became known to two wealthy gentlemen
from New Jersy, Richard and Samuei
Swavze, who we. brothers-and both OF
them the heads of numerous families
most Of whom were then married aud resi-
ded near them.
Those gentlemen purchased from Cap
tain Ogden an undivided interest in hi
land warrant or mandamus, of 1880
acres, with condition that they were tC

| lying north Of Louisiana, and south of I
parallel with the mouth of the Yazco, wa
then called, and locate the land warrant a
their own exp snse' They paid cash 70
their lands, at the rate ofabout 20 cent
an acre. They forthwith proceeded Il
Pensacola, accompanied by Captain Og
den, and after obtaining from the Provln
cial government the necessary authority
they travelled by land to Nutchez. Thi
was IN the year l772. They there loca
ted their land on the Homo Chitto rivel
within the present boundary of Adam
county.
After completing their survey the pan
ties returned home again. Captain Og

their return. The enterprising and inde-
tatIgable SwayzeS Immediately prepared
for removal to their lands, in distant,
wild and almost uninhablted country.
In October of the same year, having
chartered a schooner of sufficient size,
Richard and Samuel Swayze, with their
own families, and their sons and sons.in-
law, amounting TO twelve or fifteen fami-
lies, sailed from Perth Amboy, in New
Jersey, and after tedious voyage, stop
ping at Havana de Cuba, &C., lthey arrived
at Pensacola. Here the vessel was dis
charged, and our voygers had to provide
new conveyance for themselves and
families TO their future homes.
They purchased and fitted up open
BOATS; INTO these they slowed all they had
OF this world, and themselves, with a few
hired men TO navigate them. They pur-
sued the line of sea coast from Pensaco.a
to Pontcha. train, and to the mouth of the
Amite river; thence up that river and
through the Pass Manchac, or IDervllle,
into the Mississippi. Thence, against
that King of Waters, to the old mouth of

voyagerS debarke1-I stood in company
with Nathan Swayze, senior, who was the
sou of Samuel Swayze, and, apprehend,
the grandfather of the Hon. Mr.. Swayze,
OF the House. Here on this spot" said
the v, nerabe old gentleman, "here on tbs
spot we all landed; and where are now
growing these large trees, raised corn
in the year 1878" Many of the descen
dants Of the family now own the same
land, which, in all changes of government
and the mutations in the population, has
never passed out Of the family If they
have been less distinguished for talents,
they have been highly esteemed for their
moral virtues, and for that distinguishing

THE WESTERN ARMoRY.-The Com
missioners appointed to select site for
the location Of Western Armory have
reported in favor Of Old Fort Massac.
This place is situate on the Illinois side
Of tho Ohio river, fifty miles above the
mouth, and nine miles below the mouth Of
the Tennessee. The Shawneetown Re-
publican thus speaks Of the advantages
Of the selection:
The Ohio river never freezes below the mouth
OF the Tennessee. and thus navigation 10 freed
from all obstruction i'll winter. save little running
ice. The landing, We assert without any fear Vi
contradiction. Is The very best to be found any
being accessible at all stages Of the water to
boats Of the larg st class. The banks are Of q
Kind OF iron ore; and though neither precipitous
nor very high. at least twenty feet above high
water marx. The heighboring lands are tree from
inuhdation They ore covered with the tallest tim:
Der on earth, and are we'll adapted to agriculture.
Nlassac was selected by the French. At a very
early period as q place for fertilization, and was
occupied as such until the capture Of Kaskaskia by
Gen; George Rogers Clark. Afterwards. . new
and larger fort was erected by the United States
which was occupied until seine time after the late
war. 1t has ever been deemed NEST eligible
and commanding point. A. early % 1895, Ton.

The Hon. LEWIS F. LINN has been re.
elected by the Legislature Of Missouri
TO scat in the U. S. Senate, for the mex,
six years. Thsre were 1919 members
present, and Dr.. Linn received l19 votes.
We have no doubt but that the above
information will be equally gratifying to
many Of the citizons of this Territory
as 1t will to nine tenths Of the people Of
Missouri. DR.. Linn has always been
one Of the best and most active advocates
in behalf Of the rights Of the Western
pioneer and has ever shown himself tho
friend Of Iowa and the other Territories.
We know Of no State in the Union that

The marriage Of C9lt.-Noth;ng per.
haps, in the whole. career of Colt, has ex-
cited more attention, particularly among
the females Of our city, than the mar
riuge Of Colt 10 Caroline Hensl.aw, with
in few hours Of the time fixed Tor his
execution. The fact that Colt had new
err proffered marriage before the hour
when he knew his fate was fixed, and the
consent Of Caroline Henshaw to unite in
ma,rimony with man destined for the
scaffold, has naturally created much dis.
cussion and enquiry, A. to the causes that
could have produced such an eStraordi-
nary result.
From circumstances that have recent
~ come into our possession, we have eve.
nv reason to believe that Colt ,cas mar.
ried to Caroline Henshau in Philadel-
phia before the murder Of adams took
place in this city. After this deed was
committed, il bscame necessary that she
should be used as witness, and knowing
that her testimony could not be received
as the wife Of Colt, she was introduced as
plain Caroline Henshaw, and for the pur-
pose Of carrying out the deception, as
originally practiced, the marriages cere-
n,ony was again performed, in order to
blind the eyes Of the world to the previ.
GUS transaction.
This will account for the commission
Of an act that, under any other circum.
stances, appears perfectly inexplicablc.
In case an investigation is commenced in
this city relative 20 the extraordinary
cause OF his death, certain developments
will be made relative to the marriage
that will astound the community. We
therefore call upon the gentlemen in
Philadelphia to speak out.
