copy of the Liberia, Herald, of January I,
1862, published in.MonroVia. It is a very
interesting .number, containing, beside the
accounts of the progress of our rebellion,
reports from their President • and Secretary
or State to the Liberian' Congress, in refer
ence to the recaptured Africin slaves set
tled there, and a copy of the correspond
ence between Liberia's Charge 'd'Affaires
at London, Gerard Ralston, and her (ion
sul at Manchester, on the very interesting
subject of the more extensive cultivation
of cotton in that African republic. It also
has a review of some native Liberian liter
ature; among the rest of . a treatise on the
English language in Liberia, by Rev. A.
Crummell, A. 8., ,a colored graduate of
Cambridge College, England, whose, degree
of Bachelor of Arts, this , and other treatises
prove he has well' earned and admirably il
lustrates. This number (Januaryl,s,, 16620
contains the extract from President Lin
coln's recent message recommending the
recognition of litiyti and Liberia;
Her soil being fertile and well watered,
agriculture receives much attention; and•
coffee, sugar,.palm-oil, and cotton produCts
are shipped to distant lands. More than
forty vessels built, owned,:and manned: by
Liberians, are employed in their coast and
river trade ; while' the State owns three
brigs, a -bark ) and a- steamer; engaged in
foreign trade, the great bulk of which is
being rapidly salted and. appropriated by
England, ever 'vigilant to`secure 'all aids to
her commercial supreMacy. Her prod.ticts
and trade are rapidly growing, as illustrated
by the.' folloling,table.of exports,;shOjing
seven years' progress, furnished from an
authentic source
1852. 1859.

Palm-oil 3,000 tom 7,500 tons'
The two most important articles of
growth and trade from West Africa are
cotton and palm-oil. Of the former $l,-
450,000 worth are annually _exported, of
which, $200,000 passes through Liberian
ports, and' the balance through Lagos.
This growth of cotton has-excited hitherto
the, attention of other countries, and is es
pecially interesting, now to. them and us,,
because of its partial failure> in this•coun
try from the disturbed condition of the
cotton region. From the Abbekiltutan
country weremxported in„.185.2,_2,35 pounds
of cotton, and in 1859, 3,447 bales. The
•amount of palm-oil, imported into Great
Britain from West' Africa, is shown by the
following decennial table, ranging from
1790 - to-1860:
Ist deeennial period.... ' 1 ; 825 tons• $807;800

7th decennial period—. 3,789,201 " 848,781,024
An , average! of • $84,878,000 per annum.
' This inerease in a single article of corn
` merce is 'astonishing, and it is • a notable
fact that; at the points where most of this
is exported, large Shipments of slaves were
i formerly- made. Nov all - this ie changed,
verifying, , the maxim that "Commerce is,
the hand-tnaid 'of Religion!' In 'addition
to the articles named,Liberia produces.and.
exports ivory, camwood, gums; pahn-nuts;
I ginger, hides, indigo, wax, ship-timber, &c. ,
Most of this immense trade, is now enjoyed
i
bythose countries already mentioned; hav
ing treaty stipulations with Liberia, where
by no discrimination is. made against her
vessels and cargoes ; whereas , ' those , enter
' ingour ports are'compelled to pay an extra
duty of $l, per ton on the vessel, and 10'
per cent. on the value of the cargo. (See
Brightley's 'Digest, page, 354.) I learn
tharthis"diacrimination has , already.forted'
• three'vesSels; which fornierly ran'regularly
between.•Monrovia•-and , New-Trork-antHial , ;
timore, to seek the port of Liverpool. Ves
sels trading with <Liberia, are, thus treated
less favorably:_ than those trading with
China, Siam, and Japan, for which treat
ment no satisfactory reason can be given.
Hayti, too, presents powerful'claimr for
recognition, including a' large portion of
the iSlanclsnamed <by Columbus; Hispaniola,
more recently known as St: Domingo, situ
ate near the, entrance of the' Mexican Gulf.
With a genial climate, salubrious air, rich
soil and products, extensive commerce,. , and

We'
We' have the testimony of 'our cornmer
dal- agents, that , for want of treaty stipula
tions oar own merchants•and shitTers have
' been deprived of 'many advantages, 'and
suffered many onerous discriminations.
The: importance and prosperity of Hayti
have been •so fully set forth in a.recent
speech of • the Senator: froth Massachuietts,
[Mr Siimner,] , that I shall not enlarge
upon it: ' Our' commercialdealings - with
her are more extensive than with many
nations, with. whom :we have , formed. _trea

should persevere longer in withholding our
recognition' of the independence and sover
eignty of Hayti and Liberia, I. an unable
to discover it. Unwilling, however, to in
augurate a novel policy in regard to them
without the approbation of Congress, 'sub
mit to your consideration the expediency
of an appropriation for maintaining a
Charge d'Affaires near each of these new
States.. It does not admit of doubt that
important combercial advantages might be
secured by favorable treaties with them."
The President could doubtless at once es
tablish diplomatic relations with both of
these States, as, intimated in this extract.
He had the power when penning his mes
sage, but was unwilling to inaugurate the
novel policy -without the approbation of
Congress. Such consideration need not
longer restrain him; 'for the act of emanci
pating the slaves in this DiStrict,' .recently
passed into, a , law, does.recognize both these
Republics, and provides for colonizing the
freedmen in, them; so that all • no* really
needed, is to, fix the salaries of our di
plomatic representatives, which is done in
the
- bill now before the Rouge. I contend,
however, that this proper act- should .be
done properly and gracefully; for by, such
a course we will not merely maintain our
self-respect, but -challenge that of , sister
nations. ' '

dead, whilst .bravely fighting and encour

voices—some of whom I have listened to in
our prayer-meetings---are hnshed forefer.
I cannot help but , feel-sad when Plook back

glory or praise can compensate; for = the
losses we have sustained - ) - Of the battle at
Williamsburg and the part Sigilee'.l3tigade

that action, you doubtless' 'all. have read.
I was prevented by siCkness from taking an
active part in it; but ,of the more recent
action, of the , " SeverrTines," Loan speak
more knowingly, - having participated in it.
The day the:fight commenced, we were
encamped near Bottom's Bridge,- on the
Chickahominy, and abput three, o'clock in
the afternoon were ordered hurriedly to
march. to the relief of -Casey's Division,
which had been surprised and repulsed..
We;left without .our %knapsacks, and after
marching about five miles arrived on the
battle-field at dark. The conflict' had
ceased for that day, and we laY all
night , OTI. -our arms. The next morning,
being the Sablaith,•at about 'eight o'clOck,
the - enemy, ()Tidied the attack with a tre
mendous volley of •musketry, which ap
peared to extend - along: the' whole of our
lines. We were abiyht one qUarter of a
mile in. the. rear; •but. our =Brigadnimme
diately formed into'line'-Of battle; and ad
yenned to the front. ,Seme of the Pritioners
we captured: told .us that , our. arrival was
known among them, and desperate fighting
was expected, as they kneiv by their expe
rience at Williamsburg.. .'We :were posted
along the coMmencement of a pine, woods,
inWhich. the rebels. Were drawn up, waiting
to receive us. We expected- them to ad
vance on us; but instead' of 'that/ they
commenced - shelling us. Their shells' burst
over our , heads, on the ground, and in
every direction. - The whizzing noise they
made in their passage through the air, was
fearful. We soon got tired.of nnd re
ceiving the. order to charge 'bayonets,
,we
rushed' forward through' the Woods on a
double-quick, yelhng and- shouting like
madmen: The rebels waited and-reserved
their ,fire until we were seventy-five or one
hundred feet from them, when they poured
a volley , "which,- fortunately for us;- was
aimed'too low. Thes , then; turned and fled.
The carnage-among them for a short time,
was awful; in whiclasome desperate hand to
hand conflicts took place. In several instances
r
men on both sides were killed by mutual
thrusts. We-made two charges on them
during that day; drove them off, "and at
night occupied the ground which Casey
had-lost the day previous. The next day
there was very' little fighting,'thn:rebels
'being heath - wet, all, points, and retreating in
disorder.backto Ilichmend.Gen. Hooker
then said he cOuld'have Marched into Ribh.
.mond, and I. believe it. The loss lois sustained
by, our Brigade was comparatively trifling,
two killed and , about a dozen wounded in
our regiment---none in our company.
We. have been- laying--here ever since,
going out 'on picket every thiri day We
occupy now the post of. honor in the whole
army, being in the -extreme 'advance;
,and
only inrild from - the'eneidy. Weall think

Gen. McClellan andithe, Telegraph.
The followingletter from Parker Spring,
Superintendent in the construction of the
United States Military Telegraph, lines,
gives an interesting account of the ser
vices of the. Morse telegraph to the army,
and of Gen. McClellan's use of it :
grorn the tim e t4e army of the Potomac "first:
left Washington the U,
,'S.: Military Tele
graph has never for an hour been allowed tore
main in the rear. Before reaching his new
headquarters, Gen: McClellan almost invari
ably learns that the wire on the advance;
that an office has already been opened at
the point designated'before he leaves his old
camp; and that communication to the War
Department at Washington is open for him.
In , several instances when the army had
marched, fifteen miles in lone day, the tele
graph- had reached' the: new quarters two
hours' in advance. When our troops are
obliged to remain a few' days in, one.posi
tion,, wires are immediately run -from Gen.
Mcdlellan's.quarters to the headquarters of
all Commanders of divisions, thereby-plac
ing the - entire section of country 'occupiedt,
by, our troops under his instant control..
AgiStance like, this` is surely valuable to
our glorious cause, and -I am happy to say
it is fidly appreciated by the General. '
Saturday previous to the evacuation or
Yorktdwn; Gen. 'McClellan ordered me
u'it?ye into our bUttety No, 6, in' ordei
to 'gibe' hiin telegraphic eomnittnieatioe
frOm his headquarters, w,hich were distant
about one sand a half ,miles. This battery

of rebel' batteries. The office at battery
No. 6 waS'tnbe ideated under groundi in a

would be in his hole before-daybreak, next

should extend the wire to his balloon, and
we ,Would try it. 'ln one betri, We had
brought the wire a mile and ahalf, and I
was=; ready' to ascend with the' Professor.
The 'battle had' commenced. When it had
reached its zenith, Prof : . Lime ands myself,
with the telegraph had reached an altitude
of two thousand: feet . With the aid of
good) gla t eses We wera,,enablcd, to .'view` the
whole affair between these powerful. con

The Great American Desert—i Novel Enter
prise
In the acquisition of Territory from
Mexico; we , acquired not only good, bad,
and indifferent lands, but we got a desert,
and so large in its dimensions, so formida
ble in its withering desolations, that we
are as much at a loss to know what to do
with it as was the party who drew the ele- .
pliant. Professor Blake, who, from his
position of geologist, accompanying the
exploring toad surveying expedition of
Capt. Widrn
iasdit,,of the Atlantic and Pa
cific
Capt.,
Stirvey, acquired a personal,
and familiar knowledge of this jottrnado'
del pru,erta, (desert of death,) in a t recent
lecture in San Francisco, in speaking of
the Colorado Desert, pronounced ; it as fine
a specimen Of 'the desert as that of 13ibia
or Sahara. It extends' from the 'base of
San. Bernardino Southwesterly one hundred
anireighty milesi parts of its surface being ,
below our boundary line Sonora,. Its
area is some, nine thousand square miles,;
and exeepting' the Colorado, which :diiis
across its lovier end, *withOut river' or
lake_ It stretches 'off to the horizon , one
all sides without
_one glimpse- of vegetation
or life. Its.surface is ashy and, parched;
its fraine or mountains rise in rugged pin
nacle.s of brown rock, bare even of soil.
Words , are' unequal to the task of describ
ing its apparent expanses,the, purity of its'
air, the silence of its night, the brilliancy
of the stars that, overhang ,it, the tints of
the mountains at daybreak, the looming up.
of those 'beYond the horizen, the glare of
the midday sun, the •violence of its labile'
storm& of dust and sand. •
Parts, are entirely destitute even of sand,
being smooth, compact, sun-baked clay; ;
other parts' are covered with heaps'of sand,,
cliipbsects like snoivAiifts in waves" of fifty
' and eighty feet •inkbeight. Near the mourt-'
tains along the 'Colorado there is a terrace
as flat as the floor, and paved with pebbles
of nearly uniform size, of porphyry, jasper,
(pinta; oornelian, and agate, all rounded by
the action of the Water, and poliShed till
they glisten,hy the driving sand: this
respect acrain- the porch of our Great; Des-:
ert is like that which outlines the Lybian.
Desert. Doubtless the Northern part of
the deiert is the dry bed of an ancient lake'
of 'fresh - water, whose'beach lines are
strongly marked. • Probably, at a Ton:Tara
tively recent.period, the waters.of the Cali--
fornia p-ulf, covered all the clay,snrface of
the desert. It lie? below their level now,
and if a channel were out threugh the'
natural' enibankmenf of the Colniado; it
would be doubtless covered , again with: .
water. It is , very probable that. the Colo
rado Desert region was uplifted within his-.
torie [lines., Earthquakes occasionally agi r
tate' surface, and in 1852 'there were
eruptions ''of mud am:l'W 'irater in the
eenfrat parts of the valley.
..The,National intellioencer says that an
enterprise is on foot for - ,converting this
fOrniidable desert into a fruitful field by in
freducing water from the Colorado rii-er'on
and !over'if thus 'eausizig'verdurnto replace
sterility,> " causing thertlesert to bloom- as
the : rose!' •
• The propagator of this ontorprise hayipg
devoted several years in the preliaiinary,
work, and hiving folly determined' the
practicability of the measure by actual in
strumental surveys, now awaits,the . action
of Congress - to make , a cession Sa
liara ,to the:State California,, in com
pliance with- the expressed'. wish ., of her
Legislature. "cannot.' be doubted` that T
Congress, will. at ,once datiiply with the ap
plication made by California, and_allow the
