THE NICARAGUA CANAL. Bome of the Natural Advantages of this Interoceanic Route. I'he Channel of the Sap Juan River - The Water Supply- The Grey town Harbor- Lake Nicauragua. tNow York Herald.l "Now, (Captalo," said the reporter, "I want to know something about what you consider the nelsiest and most practicable way by water from the Gulf of Mexico to the P'acllic." "All right; just follow me. You see, by the old line we used to take passengers, some times a thousand at a time, from the regular lines at Greytown. Now, mark our course. We left Greytown in a sternwheel steamboat, something like what you may see at Pitte burg, only smaller, and after twenty.five miles journey we reached the main river, the Ban Juan. The water highway from Greytown is simply an offshoot of a fine river. This branch of the Ban Juan is very shoal, but is entirely free from rocks. After we reached the main river we were obliged to work against the current to Ban Carlos Island, thirty-five miles distant." THIE OEANNEL OF THE SAN JUAN. What was the nature of the channel in the river for this distance?" "Well, I must confess it was generally very shoal and full of qulekstand. After we left Ban Carlos Island we went up the river to the Rapids of Machuca. It was a little over two miles. Strange to say, in this stage of the journey there was no current. It was abso lutely dead water. When we reached the foot of the Machuca rapids we found rocks or bowlders in the stream all the way up to casetlllo rapids, twelve miles further on." "Then from the Gulf to Machuca rapids, slxty-two miles, you encountered nothing but tidbatse as possile obstacles to navigation?" "Nothing else; and they can easily be sur mounmmted by a canal company. As for the rocks I speak of, they can either be removed as bowiders lying at the bottom of the river; or the rooky bed, being of the softest deecrip tlon of stone, can be easily drilled out. Why, I have drilled holes in this bed with the rudest Instruments. It can be all removed to any dth required at small expense. On the way a .Vsltlo we struck the Monkey rapids, and found deep water in many places. From Cas to1 to the Toro, or Bull Rapids. the distance about twelve miles. At Castillo, at the time Isreak 6of, the passengers were transferred, With their baggage, to a large boat, still a SterfzWheeler Which, however did not draw ut teen Inches of water, this boat took thete to the Toro rapids where the lake r met the barty. The lake steamer Wet up the Ban an nua river to Ban Carlos, tl t eastern side of the great lake was ".iuw was the navigation from Ban Carlos to the lake?" "SPlendid, Nothing could be better for a .altial. There is but one little reef on the eotise5 and the rest is all deep water, From t where the Ban Juan river joins the toe to Virgin bay, on the weste n side, is bMt sixty miles. The passengers landed at Vlrn bay, and were conveyed across land to t f Ban Juan de la Mud on the Pacific "'ow far was the distance by land ?" "Only ten miles. There were no mountains to erse, but only a gentle declivity." "Now, Captaitl, what is your opinion of an IntetrOadc ship lanal by the Nicaragua "Why there is no doubtof its success. But it would be probably better to start from the outh of the main river than from Grey W vt do you mean by the mouth of the " lyou see that the San Juan runs into the lft a diiferent point from Greytown.

"f! a pmpntty was to start from the t - of theBan Juan for the purpose of a what, in your opinion, th chances o suceese?" .Therfe annot be any doubt of their entire -sUce1.1 It la the only practicable and the eaet route for a s p canal, You see, at the mouth of the ;iver there is no trouble for a to et in. To be sure there is one bar of sand outside, not wider than the width of this room, but inside of it there is water h to float all the navies of the world. An breakwater would render the en the San Juan river accessible even o theret astern herself. Once in the ryoU may encounter snags, but they are uly removed. Why my dear sir Capt. has accompisnhed more real work at the Sothwe.st sPas, at the mouth of the Missis _ tta will ever be required from the bay '." erBof San Juan up to the Greytown hat is the average strength of .the cur t i the bah Juan goin up to the lake?" "As fat l I an recolect, about two miles and a halan hour. Yet with our stern wheeler we have sometimes run over eleven miles an hour right against the stream." "S uppoae, Captain, that the Nicaragua tuatt Company should select this route, can thydepend upon a constant supply of "certainly. The feeders of the San Juan ad th lake are innumerable. I cannot re r how lmany tributaries the river has, but are very numerous. Among them I may the Seripique, which comes from his, and has Its source in the moun. known the water to rise ted feet teanlht in this river. At the Toro f idithe itver Salvo rushes into iStl h Jtl ith tremendous force. Why the Sata . .an a feeder every hundred ' t e es are inexhaustible, as ýey ilt gome from te mountaines, "How about the e?" "Oh, tis .onstaitly supplied with water, and o canal cmpay need feer exhausting it. I will never fore one tfoutMsion I took up the River Frio which falls into the lake, and which ha its source 100 miles distant in the mountfins. A party of us went up the 'Cold river' a long distance, but theIndians shot at us and we were obliged toreturn. I may say, confidently, that all the mountain streams for a vast distanee run into this lake. Why, there is a smaller lake, about ten miles long on the banks of which Monagua, the capital of Nicaragua, is situated, which empties its waters into Lake Nicaragua by the River pipati. Curious old river this Tipipati is. Quaint, old-fashioned Spanish bridges trav erse t; and at times, especially during the nlirht, the water rises in it to the height of twenty feet." LAKB NICARAGUA. "What is the appearance of Lake Nica ' cery beautiful. Mountains surround it -n all sides. Its shores are heavily timbered. In the centre rise up two islands, Omatapt and Madlera, to the height of 7000 feet. They have been long ago settled by the Indians and have churches, villages and schools in abundance. Plenty of wood can be found a.round the lake-madrona, mahogany, rose. wood and cedar, with lighter varieties. Then the cost for labor is very trifling, and a canal company can find good pilots and faithful Sborewamong the ndasna. I was the first to introduce Indian firemen in the lake steam ra. and they were eminently satisfactory." "ow mutth db you oalculate the distance to be the route you have described, from ald y about 190 mtiles. There is no e worth speaklng of on the route, es te 1 from the C,l~rado mouth of the San r, or a ahnp aol comphy." i 4 p c, over the teý milee of land "Easily.

Then there are an un broken channel susceptible of being divided and deepened to any extent, a country teem ing with natural wealth and a hostof laborers right at hand." Capt. Plaeo was impressed with the idea that thie last president of the company that he served, Mr. Francis Morris, had he been properly supported, would have carried the project of a canal to a etceessful issue bef'ore tIis time. He said that the lake never lost over three feet of water even in the drycst season. He heartily Indorsed the election of Gen. Grant to the presidency of a new rnoia pany, and expressed an earnest desire to visit. the isthmus once more. TIHE COTTON CROP. Views of a Distinguished Cotton Planter The Coming rop --The Exodus Question, Eto, IN. Y. World.] Col. E. Richardson, a large Mississippi planter, has Iosn for several ilays 1iI the city at the St. Nicholase ot i. ("ol. ltwrhardtlon is tile rIost extensive grower of cotton in the South, snlding to market this year over $crso hales of the staple. Heis a large seller as weell, his house in New Orleans receiving atll disposing of this season fully 150,100 bales. A reporter Interrogated him as too he p)roin rs'ts, of the growing crop. Col. lhicharmsor. in re ply said he thought the crop estimates of the coining year hld been exaggerated, the pros petst being less favorable than reported. The drougth in June and July and the rtins in August had damaged the crop, to what ex tent he could not say, as a dry Beptember and a goodl picking season might yet retrieve to somrte extent the injury already wrought. lie was of opinion, however, that cotton would command a fair price through the sea son, owing to the revival in business and the diminished receipts at the ports. So far little or no cotton has got to market, and he thought the 8ept~mber supply would he very light. He was prepared to see a sharp ad vance for that month., In regard to the negro exodus, (ol. iteichard son Is of the opinion that it has not, ende,l but would begin again after the Prop was gathered. ie said the planters irtelndeld to take steps toward instituting a coulnter-ex odus from other regions, and thart agents would hte sent to various parts of the' country to securoe tnuigrants to take the places of those leaving, and that the railroads would Ibe solicited to make favorable rates for ttrane porting theam. Col. Rlichardson remarked that In Ht. Louist the other day he was infornmed that there was a camp of over one JIhundIred negroes who haid returned from Kansas. Nat urally supposing they wore making thelr way bac'k to their old homnes, he visited tihe camrp, when, to his surprise, he was acc.asted by a white man, who told him he had these peoiple in chlarge anrd was taking them to good and comfortable employment In Ohio, and that he rlid not dlesire them to be tamrperedi'with, as he was somewhat in advance of funds t to them and had closed a contract with thenrr. (CI. tlohardson was of the opinion that thrsn African men and brethren were to be used in the doming election in that State. THE nOUTH. Some or the Texas farmers are planting corn a second time. 1losque county, Tex., has a thriving Nor weglian settlement. Savannah will celebrate her centennial on October 9. The wolves are killing the stock in Baxter county, Ark. It has not rained in Grimes county, Tex., for four months and two weeks. The rice planters along the Georgia coast will make good crops this yedr. The corn crop of East Tennessee will he abundant for home supply, with a clever sur plus. Fred Douglass will be In Montgomery, Ala. on the twenty-sixth of November, to speak at the colored State fair. The prospects are that the Florida orange crop will be large, notwithstanding some say this is the off year. A flash of lightning in Alamance county, N. C., ripped out the seat of an old darkey s pants and tore off one of his shoes. "Old Sallie," long time the riding horse of the late Col. Gibson, of Hampshire, Va., died last week, aged 41 years. A family of seven negroes in Nashville were poisoned Wednesday by strychnine in their bread. One of them has died. A brass band at Austin, Texas, were so do lighted at a recent rain that they went ab,rit the city in the shower and serenaded the citi zens. An artesian well at Fortress Monroe, Va., is 900 feet deep, and an appropriation of $10,000 is recommended to make it 12,000 or 15,000 feet deep. The Eagle ,and Phmnix mills at Augusta, Ga., employ 1500 hands, which, with their families, make 5000 people that get a living out of that one factory. The General Assembly of Virginia is stock ing the waters of that State with game and food fish. A hatchery has been established in Wayne county. A wagon train runs between Camilla, Ga., and the Brunswick and Albany Railroad de pot, the trouble being that the Gulf Railroad freights are too high. B. F. DeGraffenreid was almost choked to death In )Denitur, Ala., the other day by a negro woman with whom he got into a light about jis washing. He died a few days after ward, and the negro woman ran away. Palatka (Fin.) Herald: The moss and va nilla business ls becoming quite extensive in this section. Boat loads of the former and wagon loads of the latter may be seen coming in at all times. We understand that it pays well. A dispatch from Atlanta to the Baltimore Gazcele says that a careful canvass of the GBneral Assembly shows that about three fifths favor the renomination of Tilden. The remainder favor Hendricks and Bayard. Sen ators Gordon and Hill are both understood to be warmly in favor of Tilden. After Tilden, Ewing is preferred, providing he wins in Ohio. Marietta (Ga.) Journal: On last Saturday In tense excitement prevailed at the little gold mill located on the premises of James L. Ran dell, and about two miles south of Acworth. The cause was the very sudden and unexpect ed exit of one Wmin. H. Hill on the night pre ceding. He had charge of said mill, and his duty was to hire and pay off the hands. He left with the "pay bag." Congressman Atkins, the Paris (Tenn.) In tellipgener says, is still quite sick, contined to. his bed at home. There has been no improve ment within the last several days. He ap pears to be suffering from the exhaustion caused by his overwork for years past at Washington, which has been very much ag gravated by his recent canvass during the not weather. The Ielreheat Navy of Norway. From the maritime statistics of the King dom of Norway, recently published, it ap pears that In 1878 the mercantile fleet of that country, the second largest in the world, numbered 8064 vessels, of 1,493,041 tons bur den. Of these 4777 vessels belonged to the cities and the larger shipping and fishing places, while 8287 were owned by country dis tricts. The explanation of this curious phe notnenon is that, in Norway, ship-building is the most common, if not theonly, form of in vestment. Instead of putting their money in a bank and leaving it to the banks to utilize, the inhabitants of a village or parish dr county pool together their savlugand build or buy a ship. If situated an a ord, the Village builds the ships itself and place them under com mand of its own sons; it sItuated farther in land, It sends its shrewdest man with the sh:n r bgdownttothe coaes to miSke a brgai.
