THE ASHANTEES. ‘The Warrior Africans and Their King—Sketoh of the Fighting Monarch, Koffee Calcalli, and His Family—History of the Dusky Dynasty—Its Power and Resources—Valiant and Ven- ‘erable Generals Who Lead Against the Allies of England—Sir Charles McCar- thy’s Skull Used as a Palace Drinking Cup— Manufactures, Sports and Royal Blood. ‘The following account of the Ashantee King and his people will be of interest at the present mo- ment on account of the English position in that portion of Africa, The particulars, so far as¢hey Tespect the Ashantee kingdom, have been fur- nished on the Gola Coast by Prince Ossoo Ansall, uncle to the Ashantee King, and at present de- tained in a kind of honorable captivity by the British at Freetown, Sierra Leone :— Im Ashantee the King never joins his army ex- -— on occasions when the {ull strength oi the Ashantee power is to be put forth and in pursu- ance of some solemn vow, and when he does so he ig always accompanied by some of nis greater chiefs, who never take the field except the King dées so in person, and whose contingents largely strengthen his army. KOFFEE CALCALLI, the present King o! the Ashanter is now in his thirty-sixth year, and is the a h monarch who has ruled over the Ashantees since the death of the great Sai Tootoo, the founder o1 the Asbantee Power and the greatest of their kings and war- riors. Sai Tootoo 18 the first of the Ashantee kings of whom we have any certain record. Betore his time the Ashantees were an obscure people, Btruggiing jor power with numerous rival tribes in the inter! but at his death, which happened about the year 1700, they had obtained a complete superiority over ali their neighbors and enjoyed a wide dominion, Alter a long career of conquest Sai Tootoo was surprised and slain by ‘the Akims, a neighboring tribe with whom he was at war, at the battle of Coromantee, which was fought ona Friday, His death is still. kept fresh in the memory of the Ashantees, and the most awiul oath an Ashantee can take is their famous oath, ‘‘Meminda Coromantee,” or “By Coro- mantee Saturday,” by which they tony. ‘that if they disregard it they may be deemed to have no regret or regard for the tate of Sai Tootoo, It is sand that the King of Ashantee has sworn the “Me- minda Uoromantee” oath to drive the English out of Elmina, Cape Coast, or to prolong the war for three years. Sai Tootoo was succeeded by his brother Apoo hoo, who consolidated the kingdom he inherited and completely subdued the AKims, During his reign, having attempted to abridge the feudal power of the chiefs, they revolted, and he had to fy irom Commassie. He subsequently ral- lied a large body of adherents and retook Commas- sie and totally deieated his rebellious nobles, Apoo Koo was succeeded by Acquassie. Durin; his reign he waged war with Varied success agains! his neighbor, the King of Dahomey. He died about 1752 and was succeeded by Sai Cudjoe, who widely extended the Ashantees’ dominions and is looked bo ao by the Ashantees as the greatest of their ig8 and warriors, Sai Tootoo alone excepted, It is during Sai Cudjoe’s reign that the first recerd of the Ashantees appears in the ofticial journal of Cape Coast Castle, where we find an entry in the year 1765, the Council then passing a resolution to observe strict neutrality between the Fantees and the Ashantees in a war then raging between them. Sai Cudjoe died ata very great age and was suc- ceeded by Sai Quamina, the filth o) the Ashantee kings. Sai Quamina occupied the throne but a very short time. He was dethroned by a conspi- racy of his nobles and was succeeded by his younger brother, Sai Tootoo Quamina, who com- Mencei his reign about 1800, WAR ON THE ENGLISH—SIK CHARLES M’CARTHY’S SKULL, Daring this reign the first war with the English occurred, <Aiter some iruitless negotiations sir Charles McCarthy, the then Governor 01 Cape Coast Castle, marched, in the year 1824, With a strong dorce to attack the Ashuntee troops. He was met at Esmacow by the Ashantee army, which had crossed the Prah to meet them. ‘Sir Charles Mc- Carthy underrated the strength of the Ashantee forces, and, hearing the hum of the approuching army, ordered hig vand to strike up “God Save the Queen,’ thinking the sound of the national anthem would terrily the enemy. He was soon undeceived, A severe battle ensued. The English iroops and their native allies were utterly routed. Sir Charles McCarthy and nearly all toe European ofti- cers with bim lost their lives, their heads were cut off, and while their headless trunks were lelt to rot on the field of battie their skulls were carried an triumph to Commassie, Where they are stil kept. On high jestvais the King of the Ashantees annks from a cup fashioued froin the skull of the unfortunate Sir Charies McCarthy, which is pre- served in the Bantammah at Commassie with the crown and other treasures belonging to the King. Sai Footoo Quamina died about the very day that his troops gamed the great victury of Esmacow, nd was succeeded by his brother Sai Ockoto, Coast was besieged by the Ashantees, and ‘although repulsed they ravaged the entire country of the Fantees and held them in com- plete ‘suvjection until, a force having been again collected, the battle of Doodowah was fought on the 26th of Au; ust, 1826. The Ashantees were atihe beginning of the battle seized with a sudden and unaccountable panic and fed. They suffered considerable loss and retired from the Fantees’ country. The Fantees still remember the misery they underwent at this period of Ashantce rule, ‘and their greatest oath is “By McCarthy's Wednesday,” recullimg bis unhappy fate and the dreadiui condition his death left them in, With 4hem the oath is as solemn as the oath “Meminda Coromantee” is with the Ashantees. sai Ockoto was succeeded by Quawedah, who died in 1807. During his reign what is called the second Ashantee war occurred, but the English troops and the Ashantees did not come into conflict, although the Fantees and Ashaptees had severa) encounters. He was | succeeded by the present King Koffee Calcalli, who was crowned on the 20th of August, 1867, and is the son of Koffee Tutee, ove of the greatest of the Ashantee novies, by Effah Cobee, the daughter of ss00 Ansan, Whoes the present Queen Mother, KING KOFFEK CALCALLI. Koffee Calcalli is descrtved as being aman of considerabie ability, but he has not been educated, He is of middie height, slight figure, wears his beard longer than 18 usual in his country, is a man of remarkatty temperate habits and takes an active part m the government of the country, and is proverbial for his hospitality and liberality, Like all the royal race of Ashantee he is remark- able for the lightness of his color, and his features | Moorish than of a negro type. All his family, hough without the least admixture of white biood, are remarkable in their country for the lightness of their complexion, being little @arker chun @ swarthy Italian or Spaniard. POLYGAMY AT COURT. The King is the husband of many wives. The laws of Ashantee allow to the King an untimited number. His favorite ts the pon, daughter of a brother of the late King Quacoeduah, Who is not only very beautiful, but is a woman of great abuity and enjoys great imfuence with her jusband. she has burne him but one child, a son, Who died while still an iniant, about two years ago, to his father’s great grief. In Ashantee the Queen Mother takes precedence of any 01 the King's wives, and ix a person of far greater importance than any of the queen consorts, Sne is the only Woman Who is alowed to take part in public pro- ceedings, and she has a voice in all matters affect- ing the policy Of the State. The present Queen Mother is Eqfnah Sawah, or, as she 18 more com- monly called throughout the country, Etfnah Cobee, ‘the first being her married name, the latter her maiden name. She epjoys unusual influence, both with the King, her son, and with the people, and, a6 a woman of great ability and shrewdress, she can go about 0 Vee 100k upon the unveiled iace of one of the King’s wives it is certain death. All the King’s wives aie kept jealously secluded in the women's quar- Wer Of the palace, to which are attached large and well kept gardens. ‘This quarter is jeaionsiy pares by the King’s Ennuch Guard, who number over 150, The King’s wives are the only women who are 80 secluded. The Women as a general rule can go about freely. A KITCHEN CABINET. The King of Ashantee has no one who can prop- erly ve described as Prime Minister; bat among ‘the nobles of his nousehoid there are two—Bos- ‘sumbul Tia and Appiah—who possess great tn- Muence with him, aud have the mapagement at all ic affairs. They may ve regarded as his chief isters. THR ARMY AND NATIVE WELLINGTONS, The command of the urmy which mvaded the Fantee country, and is now attacking Cape Coast, | ‘was originally entrusted to Amanquah ‘Tia, one of | gre rather o the greatest of the Ashantee novies, and,whose territories are in the immediate neignvorhood of Commassie. He also holds the post of Governor or Keeper of the Bantammah. buildin " This is a iortifed in which are the tombs of the kings of Ashantee, in which their crown and most vaiuabie treasures are Loy ond and which is one of the prin cipal magazines dom.

Emin, 9 half brother of Koffee Calcalli, also hoids bigh command, as does Agsafo Boitchie, who 1s also of royal blood, Among the most esteemed of the generals may be also named the great chiefs who hold h commands from the number of thetr retainers, as distinguished the ing generals, may be mentioned Asaffo Prinee of Javon, Pookoo and the Prince of pon. ‘Since the King has taken the fleld in person he has himself assumed the chief commana, and Amanquaa Tia commands the advanced guard. Assa Moquantah 18 witn the , and has the direction of all operations. His position may per- hapa best be described as that of Chief of the Stat All the rations of the war ave planned by him and all the generals are subordinate to him, HOW THE KING RESEMBLES THE SHAH. The King of Ashantee never goes barefooted, always wearing sandals richly jewelled, and when traveiling is carried in @ hammock by bearers. All the hammock bearers are supplied by one tribe from the mterior, He is remarkable above all his ones by the costiiness and splendor of his robes, ‘The King and the chieis when at war wear loose Turkish trousers 0) different colored stuts. They are thus to be known from the rank and ile, whe wear only a tunic and no trousers, ‘THE PRINCE OF JABON. On the King leaving to take the field he was ac- companied by Asaifo Eaggia, the Mighty Prince of Jabon, who is the greatest of all the Ashantee nobles, and who never takes the field except the King does so in person, He has prought with him a large reinforcement of men from own terri- tories. He can irom his own feudal vassals alone bring @ well-armed torce of from 15,000 to 20,000 men into the field. He stands af the head of the | entire aristocracy of Ashantee, ranking next after the King. Pookoo and the Prince Mamphon, just men- tioned, came after him, bringing the jargest force of retainers into the eld, each probably beiny able to raise irom 7,000 to 10,400 men, “GO IN AND WIN.” The post of general of an Ashantee army is not always a desirable one, When the army is de- spatched, the general is told to carry out certain operations, with the intimation that ‘if he tails to do so and returns he will be beheaded. This prom- ise is generally religiously kept if he fails to carry out his orders, and, produces great activity and Vigour among the Ashantee generals. In’ most cases, when un Ashantee army is about te invade @ country, before taking any active steps, the general in command sends a list of his demands to the exemy, and two sticks, one short, the other long. ‘This signifies tnat if his requests are com- lied with, tne war will be short, aa he will return, ut that if they refuse it will be long and bloody. This occurred in the last Ashantee war, when Governor Pine commanded at Cape Coast. THE PALACE AND LIFB AT COURT, Commassie 18 the capital of Ashantee, although Rot the most populous in the King’s realms. It 18 @ well built town, with wide streets, The King’s palace, which 1s buiit of quarried stone, is a large @nd capacious edifice, It is two stories high, some rene rooms in it are of great size, and all are very loity, court yard, where he holds nobles, The King sits on a low throne, and the chiefs sit round—those of the highest rank being hearest to the King. A space in front of the King ia always kept clear for the speakers, and whoever is addressing the assembly takes his siand there, The Palace and the Bantamman are the two p cipal public buildings in Commassic, ‘The two chief streeis, or squares as they are called, are Market square and Cannon square, the latter taking its name trom @ trophy of Eurepean cannon in it. ‘They were taken from the Dutch many years ago. In it the King sits in state and gives public audi- ences to his subjects, The population of Com- massie is about 40,000, The most populous town in the Ashantee dominions ts Salaga, the capital of the principality of Jabon, whose prince has been a@iready meptioned. It is famous for its breed of horses, and is situated on the upper Volta, about 200 miles from Commassie. MANUFACTURERS. A very extensive manufacture of cloth is carried on at Commassie, and the cloth made thus is re- markable for its fine texture and durability. Much of the fine velvets and damasks used for the King’s and chiefs’ umbrellas and costumes reaches Ashantee trom the interior, coming probabiy trom Timbuctoo. even jor supplies of ammunition on what comes from the coast. “THE FLAG WHICH BRAVED,” The Ashantee army, When in the field, carries few banners or flags, and but little importance or honor ts attached to them. What hold with the Asnantees the position which standards o ry with other armies are the umbrellas of the King and the chiels, When the King of Ashantee takes the fleid hts presence is denoted by his State um- brella, which 1s always carried ner him or over him by one or other of the nobles of lis household, the King’s umbreila bearer being always a man of very high rank. The King’s umbrella is of great size, It is constructed of alrernate triangles of red and black velvet, and is splendidly ornamented with old. To give an idea of the value oi these um- brellas, the umbrella of a chief not of the first rank olten costs £200, When the King takes the field his State dress consists of a light tunic of crimson velvet or damask, reaching from his neck nearly to his arms, of loose trousers of some similar ma- terial, and he wears a cap of crimson velvet, or at times a cloth of the same color wound round his head as a tarban, with a profusion of gold erna- ments about bis person. i DEVOTION TO AN UMBRELLA AND UMBRELLA ETIe QUITE IN THE FIELD, The Joss of the King’s umbrella in battle woula be considered the greatest disgrace and defeat an Ashantee army couid meet with; and in like man- ner Jor a chiel to lose his umprella in battle is con- sidered a great dishonor for him. The chiefs all carry umbreilas varying in splendor and costliness accord to the rank of their owner, but no Ashantee chief may have an umbrella as large as the King’s, or with the game arrangement of | colors, which are specially reserved ‘or Poyalty. When the Ashantee army take the field their arms consist 01 along musket, the barrel of which alone is over tive jeet long. They are calied Buc- caneers, and they wear in their girdies a large Spear-shaped Knife, which at close quarters is a very formidabie weapon tnteed. They carry their powder in a sort of ieather case, and thetr bullets in a bag of native matting. Acertain portion of the army, aboutone-fourth, are armed with short | carbines or blunderbusses, which are loaded with | several bullets at a time, and with pikes about Six feet long. .., RECRUITMENTS AND REVENUE. . The Ashantee army 1s raised ina manner not altogether uniuke the manner in which a ieudal army was raised in Europe formerly. Kaca of the | great chiefs commands a body consisting o1 his own ciass or feudal vassals. In the regiment or divis- ion, M it may be so called, the companies or regiments, as the case may be, consist of the men | brought in by the subordinate chieis, each com. | manding his own body of retainers, and ali the | men in each of them owe feudal allegiance to the chief who commands it. Several of such clans or regiments are placed under the command of oue of | the greater chiefs. The regiments and divisions are distinguished by the different colors of their tunics and caps, Each chief is supposed to pro- King, Whose revenues are very large, generaliy briugs supplies o1 tood for the common use to sup- plement private resources, ‘The King’s revenues are derived principally from | the gold mines, neariy all the most valuable mines | bemg his Own private property; and all nuggets | fonnd, no matter where, beiong to him, while tie gold dust belongs to the finders, ROYAL BLOOD, | | ‘The crown of Ashantee descends in the female | line, the sons of the King’s eldest sister inheriting itin turn, The Ashuntees place great value on having the blood of Sai Teotoo m the veins of their Kings. Kofice Cailcaili’s heir apparent is the Prince Meusan, aud the next m succession 1s Ana Quas- siah. THE CAPITAL, Commassie, which is about 140 miles in- land from Cape Coast, is an open town and quite unprotected. If an expedition to Commassie be determined on the chief dificulty encountered will be the passage of the Adansie Hills, They are @ very precipitous range @f hids, @ lew miles beyond the Prah, covered with Very dense avd impeuetrabie bush and are only passable by paths, along which two men can hardiy walk abreast. There the rockets, the Gat- ling guns and field pieces of the army would be of ute avail, and the Ashantees are renowned for their skill in bust fighting, The bush, almost the whole way from Cape Coast, ia dense in the eXx- treme, but the country up to the Prah is traversed by moderately goed roads, and up to the time of the Ashantee invasion ‘was studded with towns and vi es at mot very distant intervals. Tho Prah, which divides the territory of Ashantee from tie Pantee country, is a small stream, which in the «ary season hag hardly a foot of water in it and is but @ few yaras broad. Its banks have been reached by the English trooj beiore now, but they have never crossed it, sides the other obstacles £0 be encountered there is the clk mate, the most deadly in the world, to be con- tended against, and camping out In the damp bush for a jew nights has more terrors for Kuropeans than encountering the Ashantee army. Until the rainy season is over aby extensive operations in the fleld are impossible. About the beginning of November the dry season seta in. Great dificulty wil be found in providing trans- port for she baggage and provisions ol any expedt- tionary force. There are no horses or other beasta of burden. Everything must be carried by the na- tive porters, who, however, are proverbial for the great weight they can carry on their heads. In Some recenf works @xecuted on this coast wheel- barrows were provided for the laborers, but they could not be induced to use them in any Other way than by putting them on their Reads when they were filled. PERSONAL DEMEANOR AND PUBLIC SPORTS. The Ashantees are easily distingaishable from the other neighboring tribes by their beards. The: tain great confidence, in his skill. nas greatly wwietingnished himself in tye many wars the Ashan- Yees Waged with the tribes of the interior, aud also wemanded in the second Ashantee war. Among the other distinguished Asnantee generals nMy be mentioned Adumoo, who occupies a posk tio Closely resembling that of commander-in-chief in €ngiand. He is the permanent head of the ,Ashaniec army; he advises the King on all matters ed with military organization aud on the mXtment of generals to command armies tak- ing the Sleld. He does not himself, as a rule, take part in wetive service Addoo Naitvo is another well known General, who ts rem¥rkable, however, ior his ferocity and cruelty.

They are also remarkable fora certain ferceness of Took and meanor The tradition amon ‘antees and the Ashaptees is that ‘oth nations were origivally subdivisions of the same tribe, and tha. at a far distant period—before the days of Sai Too- tdo—while engaged in some warlike expedition, they suffered severely from hunger and had to separate to seek food. The Fantee section of the tribe found sustenance by eating a sirub called fan, and hence the name Fantees, or caters of fau. At the same time the Ashantces supported themselves by cating @ root called shan, ané hence are Known as Ashantees, or eaters of shan. It may be remarked that the A which Europeans use ti Achantee is hardly heard in the native pronuncia- Non, whwh 1s rater Bhantee than Ashantee, Onge aygar the King of Ashaptce proceeds in neral Attached to the King's palace is the great | his councils of the * They are not altogether dependent | vide jor jhe commissariat of bis own men; but the | solemn state to hunt.

FRATRICIDE. pie Shooiing of Joseph Hoban in West Street Last Night—Attempt to Rescue the Prisoner, An altercation took place last night in front of No. 17 West street between two brothers, named Michael and Joseph Hoban, that ended in the former drawing a pistol and shooting bis brother in the left breast. The wounded man is the pro- prietor of the liquor saloon in front of which the row began and lives im the next house. Michael was employed by him as barkeeper. What the origin of the dimiculty was the police have not yet been able to discover, but Officer Shaw, of the police boat Seneca, who saw the end of the disturbance, says that he was standing In West street, near to Where the two men were disputing. At first he took no notice of them, as he was there on daty looking alter soime thieves, The noise of the voices attracted his attention, and, turning, he Saw the men grapple each other. He ran to them to separate tiem, but before he got to the spot he saw Michael! Hoban puil out a pistol and fire at his brother. Arter firing and seeing the man fall Ho- ban started to run away, but tne officer tol- lowed and succeeded im catching him. Ho- ban struggled with the ofilcer, and, fint- ing he could not get away, turned the weapon upon him. Fortunately Omcer Shaw was | able to take it from him before he could fire, The excitement caused by the affair brought a large crowd together, aud several attempts were made to rescue the prisoner irom the officer, He rapped for help and an officer trom the Twenty- seventh precinct went to his assistance. Between them they were able to conduct the prisoner to the station house, where he was locked up. Oficer Shaw was severely handled and had his clothes a good deal torn, bat he succeeded in performing his duty and deserves commendation for his con- duet, The wounded man was then conveyed to the station house, from ‘where he was sent to the Park Hospital. The physicians at that institution pronounced the case hopeless last night, and said that Hoban was bleeding treely in- ternally, When brought to the Twenty-seventh precinct station house the wounded man refused to give any account of the affair, and added that he saw no Pistol and did not totnk his brother had shot him. The brother, however, when put into the cell, said he had shot him, and used some very strong language against the dying man. Consider. by the circumstance, and people flocked in crowds to the scene of the shooting last night to speculate on the possible cause of it. Coroner Young has charge of the case. ia ?

The other—Mr. Mortimer Shreeves—made his escape and reached Fort Richardson at’ five P, M., having been compelled to travel some twenty miles in @ circuitous route to avoid the Indians, although the distance in a direct line is but nine miles, Cap- tain Thomas Little, of the Tenth cavairy, with all the available officers and men of his company (L) ‘was at once ordered out in pursuit, with instruc- tions to investigate this affair and ascertain the names of the persons killed, and send their bodies to the fort, as 1t was understood they were resi- dents of Jacksboro; and should the trail of the Indians be found, make a vigor- ous and determined effort to overtake and punish them, sparing neither men nor horses to accomplish that object. The bodies of Walker and bis son were found horribly mutilated. The Indians took away the old man’s gun, cartridges and shoes and the boy’s hat. Captain Little found the trail at daybreak on the 14th and started at once in pursuit, Mr. Shreeves says he counted twenty- seven Indians as they were approaching to make the attack.
