ACROSS Tue COUNTRY.
The Commissioners having decided TO send Cap
tain II. +. WADE ara myself US bearers OF dispatches
across tie country to ST. Domingo Hon. A. A. Bur
ton, the secretary went ashore In small boat on
Tuesday evening, he Gath, In order to make ar
rangements Tor journey. He returned la about
two hours and reported that everything was In
readiness for to start early the next morning Mr..
@. G. Fulton, lr. Arthur Shepherd and Mr.. Jacobs
determined TO accompany US for the purpose OF seeing
the country. Accordingly on Wednesday morning
we arose early, ANA soon had our preparations CON-
pleted for leaving the ship. We had TO cross the
bay from SAVANNA to Savana-la-Mar, and there take
horses. The distance was about six leagues. The
nrst STEP however, was to see the Governor
or Commandant OF Samana and secure his assist
ance in getting boat, and elso letters to other
parties who might aid our journey. We found
the Governor, Colonel Enrlgps A4gsn, Yh2 gave Us
Rll the aid In his power. He is . remarkably due-
looking man, Of undoubted Spanish origin, with an
unusually intelli2en. countenance. we experienced
much delay in gettiug the boat ready. but finally
embarked about eleven O'Clock In addition 10 our
party already mentioned we secured the services Of
Mr.. Maricacr, as Interpreter and guide, and Judge
jeremiah James Second Alcade, Inspector General
or Agriculture, ST. Us oar servant. General James
wore PAIR Of striped pantsloons a coat very much
the worse for wear and hat which was OF peculiar
construction and well designed for ventilation. He
Also wore long sword. or machete, without which
he did not degn 10 make dis appearance in public
During our journey the Judge walked and generally
had his plnaioons rolled up nearly to his knees 10
avoid tho mud jeremiah came from Phila-
delphia In 1874 with those who were sent
by the Colonization society, and leaving
tlius at an early age had acquired fame.
II not fortune IN This delightful spot. Jerry would
have been only common negro in his native land;
now he Is q parsonage OF importance. OF our In
terpreter, Mr. Marciacq cannot speak in terms too
eueglstc. He was born in New 0r.eans Of French
parentage. but left OF early age for France, and
afterwards migrated TO nayti, where ne private
secretary To Sannve and after his nnal defeat he
founc his way o Sau1na Tie a finished Oentle.
