In the words of an emi- meat traveller, the entire Pacitic coast of this re- markable country “ buetles with volcauie cones,” which ores —~ fenamee in every ne sca) i ve a ving and unduiating and often from the edges of the ~~ lakes, with the regularity and symmetry of the pyramids. It is @ matter of surpri F se and regret, that, affording as ut does so excellent a field for studying the grand and iateresting phenomena connected with volea- noes and earthquakes, this country has not more particularly attracted the attention of scienutie men, and especially of thove who ascribe to igueous aad volcanic agency so important a part in the phy- sien! changes Which our planet has undergone.— Humboldt did not pass through Central «me- Ithovgh he was fully impressed with the nee of its geological and topographical m; a deficiency which he deplores in many places in his published researches ; nor am [aware that any but very partial and im- perfect accounts have deen given to the world of the volcunes of this country; and those have been by persons claiming no consideration as scientific mer. Recognizing tully my own deficiency in this respect, | should not think of venturnng on the subject, except in the hope ef directing the atten- tion of competent persous anew to it, and thus con. tributing to supply desideratum. And I may here observe, that the difficulties and dangers which are popularly supposed to beset travellers in Cen- tral Amezica, resulting from an unsettled state of soeiely, ond from tropreal diseases and imper- fect n.cans of Communication, are fanciful, or have been recently in great part obviated. The student will find but few senous obstacles to his investiga- tions; end if he possesses a just enthusiasm, with- out Which he is no true student, he wil! find means to surmeunt (hore. The time, too, is favorable to investigation on the part of our countrymen, for apart from the good feelmg which pervades all classes towards us, dowa to the poorest Iadian, the governmen f the various states are both Willing and anxious to extend every possible faci- lity to men of science who may visit the country, especie lly the ersed in geology and mineralogy. Indeed, I bh een both personally and officially urged to exert my inilnecee to induce such to come of a cor- eon the there, ure th dial wel @ alec uthort me anc assistan part ef the authorities. The speedy opening of re- gular steam conmmuneation wih Nicaragua, by means of which the mterior of the country may be reached in ten deys trom New York, will, lam sure, also contribute towards inducing our men of seience to explore this almost virgin field. The volcanos of Ceutral America are all situated on the Pacific coast; the eastern slope of the conti- nent, consisting of bigken mountain ranges, which exhibit few traces of volcanic action. In fact, they occur almost in a night time, ranning dae N.W. th the high voleano of (14,000 feet high), from the sumnut of which be sare visible, to Citlal- tepetl, in the deport in Mexico. There are several hundred volcanic peaks and ex- {inet craters on this hine, the most remarkable of which are Cartago, lrasu, ‘Turrialva, Barba and Vatos, in Costa Rica; Alrogads, Carro Pelas, Mi- riballes, Tenerio, Rincon de la Vieja, Orosi, Ma- deira, Ometepec, Zayetero, Solentinami, Monio- becho, Masaya, or Ninsivi, Managua, Moactombo 6,500 feet high) Las Piles, Acosusco, Arota, Ze- lica, Senta Clara, Ei Viego (7 000 feet high), Cose- Nicaragua; El Tigre, in Honduras; Ama- or, San Miguel, Santa An: and SE., comme Cartago, in Costa b uina, and Joliepec, in vador; Pacay: Incontro, Ac d Loconaw: ers, Which a i H ef j : mil formed concerning the earlier phenomena exhibited by the new volcano. It seems, however, that outburst was attended by much flame, and that, at first, quantities of melted mutter were cjected ir- regularly in every direction. this was clearly the case, as was shown upon my visit distance "around ‘wets, scaled larger falas ance ere re resembling freshly cast iron. co discharge continued only for and was followed by a current of lava, which flowed down the slope of the land, towards the west, im the form o} igh ridge, rising above the ew the trees, and ing down everything w its progress. hile this flow con- tinued, which it did for the remainder of the lay. G the earth was quiet, except only @& very sli tremor, which was not Felt beyond a few mie. Upon the Mth, however, the lava og, flowing, and an entirely new mode of action followed. series of eruptions commenced, each lasting about three miautes, succeeded by « pause of equal du- ration. Each eruption was accompanied by con- cussi of the earth, too slight, however, to be felt distinctly at Leon, attended, also, by an out- burst of flame, a hundred feet, or more, in height; showers of red hot stones were also ejected with each eruption, to the height of several hundred feet. Most of these fell back in the mouth, or crater, the rest falling outward, and gradually building up a cone around it. By the attrition of this process, the stones became more or lees rounded, thus explaining a peculiarity in the volcanic stones already alluded to. These explosions continued vols teroaeetty for seven days, and could be accura‘ely seen from Leon in the night. Upon the morning of the 22d, aecom- penied by Dr. J. W. Livingston, United States Con- sul for Leon, I set out to visit the spot. No one bad ventured near it; but we bad no difficulty in persuadinggsome vageros from the village of Arola to vet as guides. We rode with difficulty over beds of lava, until within about @ mile and a half of the place, proceeding thence on foot. In order to obtain a fi view of the youthfal volcano, we ascended a high ridge of scoria, entirely over- looking it. From this point it presented the appear- ance ef an immense kettle, upturned, with a hole knocked in the bottom, {range the crater. From this upon one side ran off the lava stream, yet fer- vent with heat, and sending off its tremulous radiations. The eruptions had ceased that morn- ing, but a volume of smoke was still emitted, which the strong north-east wind swept down ina trailing current along the tree tops. The cone was patched over with yellow, the ciystalized sulphur from the hot vapor passing up among the loose stones, The trees all around were stripped of their limbs, leaves and bark, re- sembling so many giant skeletons. Tempted by the quietude of the volcano, and anxious to inspect guides, we descended from our position, and going to the windward, scrambled over the wierewene lava beds, through patches of thorny cactuses anc agaves, toward the cone. On all sides we found the flakes of melted matterwhich had been threwa out on the firstday of the eruption, and which had moulded themselves over whatever they fell upon. We had no diffienlty in reaching the base of the cone, the wind driving off the smoke and vapors to the leeward. It was, perhaps, a hundred and fifty or two hundred feet high, by two hundred yards in diameter atthe base, and of great regularity of outline. It was made up entirely of stones more or Jess rounded, and of every size, from one pound up to five hundred. No sound was heard when we panied by a very slight tremulous motion. Anxious the popular assertion, that any marked disturbance near these volcanic vents, e to bring on an eruption, we prepared to ascend. Fearing we Some ten or twefve of those wbove named are said to be “alior,” (vivo,) that is to say, they throw out smoke, and exhibit oher evidences of Vitality. But three or four, however, can be said to be ac- tive at present, of which Isalco, in San Salvador, is the most remarkable, having been formed within the last eighty years, 1 within the recollection of persons now living. This voleano, and that of Jorulio, in Mexico, described by Humboldt, are, I believe, the only ones which have originated on thie continen! siu.ce its discovery.

I need not say that, in spite of spring cactuses and rugged beds of lava, we were not long in putung @ reepectable and safe distance between usand the festag object of oat sities. The eruption lasted for nearly an hour, interspersed with fulls, like long breathings. The noise was that of innumerable blast-furnaces, in full opera- tien, and the air was filled with projected and fall- ing stones. The subsidence was almost as sudden 4s the outburst, and we waited several hours in vain for another eruption. Our guides assured us thet another attempt to ascend, or any marked dis tarbence on the slope or in the vicinity, would be followed by an eruption ; but we did not care to try the experiment. rom that period until I left Central America, I am not aware that there occurred more thao one eruption, and that on the occasion of the falling of the firet considerable shower of rain, on, I think, the 27th of May last. The discharges from th vent, consisting wholly of stones, may have been, and probably were peculiar, for the volcanoes themselves and the cones surrounding them, seem generally to bave been le up of such stones in- terepersed through large quantities of ashes and ecorisceous sand, alternating with beds of lava. Although believing that most of the volcanic cones have been formed in this manner by gradual secunulations, yet the voleanoes which have shown the greatest energy, are low and irregular, and devoid of thing remarkable in thei ance. Sueh is the voleano of Cozeguino, ragua, the eruption of which, in L was one of the most terrible on record On the morning of the 20th of January, of that year, several loud explosions were heard radius of several hundred leagues around this vol- above it, through which darted tongues of flame resembling lightning.

This continued two days, the obscuration bec: more and mere the send falling more thiekly, and the ex- plosions becoming lo rand more frequent. On the third day the explosions attained their te mum, and the darkness became intense. Sand conunued to fall, and the people deserted their houses, fearing the roof would yreld beneath the weight. This sand fell several inches derp at Leon, more than one hundred miles distant. It fell in Jamaica, im Vera Cruz, and Santa Fe de Bogot, over an area of 1,500 miles in | diameter. The noise of the explosions was heard nearly as far, and the superintendent of Belize, SOO miles dist mustered his troops under the impression t there wes a naval action off the harbor.

The voleanoes in the vicinity of the city of Guatemala are better known than many others in Central America, chiefly in connection with the earthqueke of 1773, which gaused the abandonment of the city of old Guatemala. This earthquake, however, does not seem to have been so violent as many others which have bappened since ; and the accounts which have been published of the earth opening and swallowing entire houses, vomiting fire, &e., are, as observed by a late writer, incor- rect and abeurd ; and in copying the monkish ac- counts of the catastrophe, modern authors may 4s well add the other interesting particulars of devils being seen to ascend out of the earth where it yewned, to assist in pulling down the sacred edifices and wooden images of the saints, running away and beckoning the inhabitants to follow them, with otheroccurrences equally novel and surprising. A number of very severe earthquakes have hap pened within the last few years. Oue oceurred in “Guatemala ia 1880, nearly, if not quite,as severe as that of 1773. In ienoney 4 1834, and September, 1829, seven shocks were felt in San Salvador, and in JM1, in Costa Rica. The last nearly destroyed the city of Castago, which had previously suffered 4 similar catastrophe. May, 1844, was distinguish- ed throughout Nicaragua by « series of earth- quekes or shocks, occurring at regular intervals, over a period of several days. The cityof Nicara- | gua sufiered much, and the waters of the lake were observed to rice and fall with the shocks. Much might be id on the phenomena of earth- | quakes, as they eceur inthiscountry. The shocks seem to be of twoclasses—the perpendicular, which are felt only in the vicinity of volcanoes, and the horizontal, which reach over wide tracts of coun- try. The latter are very unequal, in some places being violent, and in others, nearer their assumed source, comparatively slight. The undulating mevement seems to be only a modification of the horizontal or vibratory. Sometimes these motions ere all combined, or rather succeed each other with great rapidity. Such was the cage with the earthquake of October last, which | experienced, and of which T can speak more authoritatively. (Mr. Squier bere read from an article descriptive | of this onrthaeale, published in the National In- telligencer, at Washington, aad dated at Leon, Dec. 26, 1849.) There are many striking features in the topo- grephy of Central America, which seem entirely | due to volcanic egency. Those which have more | particularly attracted my attention are what are | popularly denominated extinct craters, now par- | bally filled with water, formerly lakes, without | outlets or apparent sources of supply, save the rains. Some of these occur on the mountain and hill rengee, and are surrounded by evidences of having been volcanic rents. Butthis is not always the case. Iwill take what is called the Lake of Masege es an instance. This is not less than | 10 or 12 miles in circumference, and not far from 1000 feet, perheps more, below the general level of the country. The sides are sheer precipices of trachytic rocks, splintered and blistered, and exhibit- ing every indication of having been exposed to the intensest heat. Yet, if these wef true craters, where are the lava, ashes, and other materials which they heave ejected? There are certainly bone in their viGapy which have emanated from them—no traces of lava streams surrounding them, nor are their edges elevated above the general Jevel. Upon one side of the particular one which | L_have mentioned, rises the extumct volcano of | Masega, or Nindisi, with its proper cPater, whence | have flowed vast quantities of lava, partof which | falling over the precipitous walls of the lake, have | quite filled it up on that side. Some of the lakes are more or less impregnated with ¢ materials, Lut others are perfectly tresh, and abound in fish. The burned and blistered walls indicate, it ap- subsidence, or the falling in of the earth or roc! strata. 1 at plain of Leon, at its highest part, is | eh something less than 200 feet above the sen; yet, in the vicinity of the range of volcanoes which traverse it, beds of lava fifteen feet thick, have been found,’ in digging wells at the depth of seventy-five Spenish varas, or about 210 feet, and this at a point not the highest of the plain, but eceording to my calculations but 130 feet above | the ocean. Unless there is some great error in these data—and 1 can conceive of none—theyjwould seem to prove that there has been a subsidence of the plain sinee the almost infinitely remote period when the bed of lava flamed upwards from the depths of the earth. I may mention that in the | vicinity of the voleanoes, water is scarce, and can only be obtained by sigein to great depths, The particular well which 1 refer to, at a cattle estate, eighteen miles northeast of Leon, is upwards of 300 fert in depth—the water pure, with no saline mate- tials in solution.
