Queen. After the passing OF the New
Constitution Act, Mr.. Jordon was APP
pointed a member of the Executive Com
mittee, and was elected again to a seat in
the Assembly by The people of Kingston.
He served in the Government till TIE
question of Responsibility" was raised
by Governor Sir Charles Darling, and a
difference in their views compelled Mr..
Jordon and the other members of the
Executive Committee to resign. In on
sequence of some corruptness in the coun-
ellis for the personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of a
few individuals, he was again called upon
TO discharge the duties OF member of the
Executive Committee, there being a ma
iority in the Assembly against the more
upright administration Of the Hon. MeSsrs.
Smith and Whitelocke. He was elected
Speaker pro tempore, during the illness of
the Hon. MIR. Morales, and was, to get
him out OF a treacherous political body,
appointed Receiver General in The room
of the late Hon. Alexander Barclay. The
offices Of Governors Secretary and Island
Secretary having been a~malgamated, Mr..
Gordon was appointed to discharge these
duties until The change under Sir }. Z.
Grant, when the Offices were separated,
and Mr.. Jordon fell into comparative OBJ
scurity, retaining the office of Island Sc
cretary to his death. He held the Office
of Mayor, by the negro franchise, and was
appointed Custos Rotulorum for King
ston, for some time; but Governor Dar-
ling, who began to find out the misclnev-
business of Mr.. Jordon's party, and called
10y -. - o,.~opls y thn allan Of EN1ctOc
which he held from the Crown but con-
,inued Major OF the CITY by a corrupt
franchise, up to the change to the NUM-
cipal Board.
Mr.. Jordon socially was possessed of
many good qualities; and if he failed in
carrying out the wishes Of his party, 1t
was because he could not of himself alone
succeed in doing their behes!s-he was
in private life q very amiable and good
man and we venture TO say socially he
has not justly earned thereproach of any.
Politically he was the willing and un-
scrupulous servant of a few individuals,
who used him for their own pecuniary
advantage and whose enmity and envy
were always marked against The enlighl-
ened and more respectable portion Of ia
maica S~ociety-(white families In parti-
cusar). He did nothing for the country
at large, and nothing for himself; he died
Il poor man but those whom he helped
up lave reason TO proclaim his greatness
but when these are dead, his memory
will be forgotten, and there is rothing
that can be recalled TO revive his name.

from the estates.
There is at present a band of the worst
lot of negroes in the country committing
all kinds of depredations. Add to this,
cholera, all over the country, and the
prospect is anything but e~nvious. There
are also cases In town, yesterday SIX died,
and, on the previous day, nine, but the
doctors will not admit that 1t is cholera.
Another correspondent, under date 4th
instant from Santiago, writes :
"Our situation has not improved much,
| should say they are even worse than
before, as many sugar estates have been
entirely burst up, in some of which some
sympathizerS, with the "Mambls," now
IN jamaica, are interested.
"a portion of Count ValmaSeda'S troops
arrived here several days ago, and in all
the journey from Btyamo TO Santiago
they never fred a shot. The insurgents
will not present themselves for a fair
fight like men who are conscious that
they are fighting for II gooti cause but like
towards, lncendlarIe$ aud thieves, run OIL
at the first appearance of either volun-
teerS or regular troops, although they
may be within entertainments which have
taken them weeks to make, with hundreds
of labOurers to help.
"The country round Santiago is COM
parativeIy clear of insurgents, but plant
ers are kept from working by fears OF re-
newed iucursioaS from them, although l
think their fears, in good part, ground
less, as there are now parties of paid vo-
l~unteers kept by the planters in the differ
ent districts for the protection OF the
Estates, who whenever they can get a
chance, whip the rebels.
"Here, in Santiago, we are quite quiet,
although there are many evij-intentIoned
persons who are continually trying to sow
diScord and alarm amongst those IN the
city, as well as those who have remained
In the country to protect their property.
They got up an alarm before yesterday
that there was to be a row such as they
have had in Havana, and although pre-
cautions were very properly taken against
anything of the kind, the night passed
even more quietly than usual.
"The Governor here will not allow any,
one to play with him. You will no doubt
hear very exaggerated stories OF what is
passing, such as the capture of a cart on
the 3rd instant which left Santiago, APP
parently with manure, but underneath,
powder, led, and two medicine chests.
Juan de Matro Tejada, to whose place it
went, has been put in prison, as we'll as
the carter, and they will have a quick
trial, and will be punished if found guilty.
'sThe reports from Havana, of what has
taken place there, also reach us very
much exaggerated: they report that the
American flag was torn from the Consul

and 1t Is said he d1SapprovtS OF many OF
the recent acts OF his companions, and
has been named Dictator, over mt least "a
certain extent of The country.
Another correspondent IA miner) writ
ing from Cobre, under date of the 9th
Febr., says -
Santiago is pretty quiet TO all appear
ance, but it is 'war to the knife round
about it, for all that, and the interior is
all in revolution. In an encounter be-
tween the Spaniards and the insurgents a
few days ago, near Caney, the Spaniards
were sadly beaten, and |repulsed with
great loss, by the insurgents who were
commanded by General Marcano. Colo
mel MarcanaS, who commanded the Cata-
loniau troops, alarmed at the destruction
of his forces, retreated TO Caney some
what crest-flllen, and would not return
to Santiago, lest the smallneSs of his arm
might call forth unpleasant remarks.
Do you remember my last letter to you
about the brave coward Colonel -
He didn't like that, | heIieve9 However,,
he took a secret opportunity of sending
\ forty wounded men into the city under
cover OF night HAT their arrival might not
be observed. 1t is men from this Colo
nel'S column who, from bad food, %insufi-
Gent clothing and want of care, have sue
cumbed TO Asiatic cholera, and brought
upon US a calamity which, l fear, must
now spread.
"Palma has been taken by the insur-
gents, and the whole garrison made pri-
soners, Four hundred Peabody guns
which were discovered there were carried
off in great triumph by the Cuhans.
"Count Valmaseda, according to last
accounts, was in a bad position near Bay
amo and in the vicinity of the Cauto River.
He uad met with severe losses. He had
sent an officer to Colonel Lono, begging
him to send more troops to his assistance;
but the insurgents intercepted the mes
sengers and made them prisoners.
"Some traitor among the insurgents
enabled VaImaseda to escape, and those
at Bayamo seeing him coming in that d.
r%ection fred the town declaring hat the
Spanish flag would never again wave over
that town.
GA detachment of VaImaseda's forces
have arrived at Santiago looking for pro-
visions and ammunition. These men
came in thoroughly exhausted from fa-
tigue, many of them sick and in wretched
health.
"Private letters from Havana have been
received here through Santiago giving
information of a very horrible tragedy in
one of the Theatres there during a per-
formance. It seems some young men
getting excited gave some hurraIls for
Cuban independence and General Cespex
