i- THF. GREAT SOUTHERN MOVEMENT. Liew, 1, F. Many and the objects of the Memphis Conventions Nationa Onswevarory, | Wasninuton, April 25,1853. { sei in complying with your request “to to the obj f Memphis convent at length,” i select the Pacific mulway and the Amagon, because they are pre-emineutly vational. I do not select the subjects of a mere local bearing, because more familiar with them than I am; and because understand them much better than I do, | be more likely to do harm thau good in offering sugges- tions with regard w tiem. Without the ‘aid af any mere looker-on, you have the energy and the will’ tw c y out all these great works of ‘internal improvement among the States, many of which you have already in hand, and all of * whieh are intended for the better development of the vast resources of tho-« sections of the country, espe- cially whose welfare it is the particular object of the ntion to consider. "Tibok with astoni-bment, and behold with amaze- ment, the giant spirit of iaternal improvement that is abroad, and the achievements which it is accom- plishing in the South aud West. It is vast and mighty 1 thing» ry» that it is sparcely populated, &c—the degree of energy now displayed by (ue people of the South and West in construction uf raiiroads, and other works of public improvement, bus never been surpassed or equalled in any age or country. Never has there been exhibited such a disjloy ct well-directed energy, public spirit, corporate and individual enterprise, as may now be wilnesred in the States of the South and West. T therefore have not the vanity to suppose that | can sey asingle word w you with regard to your works and schemes of internal improvement ‘that would be worth so much even as the ink of expres- sion. You are all right there, and it is wise iu others “ w let well enough alone.” { therefore turn to the mighty Amazon and its watershed. Ihave made it the subject of study for yeurs, and have had tbe benefit of some peculiar sources of information with regard to it. They may not amount to much, but such as they are, | offer you the result of them. Do me the favor to pick up the first school atlas you may see, and turn to the map of North and South America, if it have one; if not, to the map of the world. You will there see that our continent bas, aa it were, been stretched out until it has been nearly drawn in two, the two parts being held toge- ther in the middle by quite a narrow neck of land. After this pulling asuuder, the sonthern part appears to bave been thrust out to the eastward, forming of this neck of land an elbow or bight, in which lies embogomed, midway between the two Americas, that beautiful sheet of water composing the Gulf of Mexico and the Carribean sea, and which I have so often described as ‘* our Mediterranean.” Keep your eye still on the map, if you please, and you will see that South America is in shape 8 beaw tifal cornucopia. Consider its mountains, that they are away to the west—look atthe number and ex- tent of its rivers, that you may understand how well watered the whole Atiantic slope of that country is, aud you will see that, literally aud truly, itis destined to bea greet horn of plenty. [ts mouth is turned right towards us, as though it were ready to pour out of its vast abundance infinite variety of fruits; and whenever tt does pour these out, it will empty them into our commercial! that aforesaid magui ficent Mediterranean Sea of America. Turn steam, the emigrant, and commerce, with their influences, upon that water-shed, and you will make of it one vast plantation, which will produce for us all that the climate of India affords; and being at our own doors, will want from us in return every thing which we have tu spare; and what is it that new settlers in a new country do not want ’ New Yori vost of time and money, by rr ¢ other works of internal ile, for it 14 inter- teps in length, by comparison, will turn that Mississippi of the South completely upside down alo, bringing its mouth, for all the practical purposes of travel and commere| into the Amazon; and the two will then, for many other great purposes of State, be taken by the phy- sical agents of ibe Creatur—tbe winds of heavenand the currents of the sea—ar vught to the Straits of Vlorida, there to be united in their great outlet upen the high seas with the mouth of our own Mis- sissippi. What a ! The Amazon, as it now existe bix Dations. itis the na’ of much of Brazil, of m Eeuador, and of large provinces in New ¢ and Venezucla, But the empire has the strength and the position; she holds the mouth, and will not let the republics go uporcome down with their steamboats. They are our sisters, they want onr sympathy and need our assistance in their noble efforts to introduce the principles of free trade upon the Amazon. From the other hemisphere, these nations are stretching their republican hands out over their Amazon tributa- ries, proclaiming for the waters of that riverthe free dem of the seas, and inviting the world to come up with the steambvuat aud river craft, the axe and the emigrant, and open commerce and navi their-Amazoniau provinces—the richest piedmont country in the world. A spirit, has gone abroad there, and it is upon the waters of the Amazon. A little more than two years ago the federal governm’ selected a gallant officer ot the navy, who was at that time serving in the Pa- cifie, detached him from bis ship, first for special service in Lima, and afterwards directed him to ex- plore the Amazon trom sources to its month ; éo0 sound its depths; and to gauge its vapacities, present and prospectuve, for navigation, trade, and commerce. That expedition has returned; and Lieutenant Herndon, the officer in charge of it, appreciating the importance of placing the mformation collected by bim before the public without delay, has already submitted his report to the government. [t bu- been transmitted 1o Congress, and that body y neeiving it to possess a lich degree of inte: ordered a large number ot i he party consisted of but t gives drainage to to th aati Count D'Orerey, a French officer, had, when eu * gaged im an exploration of the same region, been ed bu e beiore ; yet, notwith- an officer, wheu he arrived the greet watershed, determined, with head spirit of bis countrymen, to divide the riy—tosend his companion, accompanied by a 4 American sailor, whom he had enlisted ia .ima, into Bolivia, and down the Ma while he himself, with no one but a Peruvian, and such of the natives a he might p' C: company him, resolve’ to iteelf. Thus accompani on rafts and in “dug-oute three thousand five hnndre vigable for vessels of the larg: to the Andes. That expedition has stirred up the people in the Spanish republics of the Amazon. the President of Bolivia has taken the lead in the matter, and proved himseif a statesman of the tirst or’ bas thrown the Amazonian provi lic open to the commerce o. claimed the freedom of its tributaries, and has o: the master of the first ste. from the ocean. Peru bas caught the eame spirit—she, too, is about to proclaim the freedom of the seas for her Amazo biun water courses.* She is orgauizing territories there, and bas placed in the hands of the exec itive $200,000 for the purpose of encouraging immigration and +cttlement. Beuador, too, ia moving in the eame direction, and { expect the next mail to bring me good news from ber and from New Granada alev. Miller, of Mississippi, is in Bolivia; Cushing {ndiana, is in Ecuador, and J. Randolpa Clay, 0’ the most accomplished diplomatists that have the honor to represent this government at any cour, is in Lima. ‘These functionaries are alive to the impor: tance of this subject.

Why, that such 4 country as that of the Amazon should, in the mid- dle of the nineteenth century, be a wilderness.” Whata commentary! I thank that noble young tar with all my heart for this most glorious descrip- tion of a glorious country. Language of greater found anywhere. That ,the men of the age, the statesmen of Europe and America, the spirit of com- mercial enterprise and adventure which marks the times, should ali have ignored sach a country, such soil and such climates, with such capacities, capa- bilities and resources as are there, is and will here- atter be regarded as the greatest of wonders. This isthe country, then, to which Linvite the attention of the convention, and towards which 1 wish to see the energies and enterprise of my fellow citvens directed, that they may essist in developing its resources, and reap for themselves and their country the rich barvests which commerce at no dis- tunt day is to gather there. 1 want it settled, I want it civilize steam and commerce upon it, and all this will be done. Do you ask what the measures are that I propose? What tLe point to which the convention should ad- dress itself, and what the enterprise to which gentle- men should direct theirenergies? The measures that | propose are, that we lay the foundations of direct trade and close commercial relations with Brazil, and the Atlantic slopes of South America generally, and with the Amazon in particular, and that we set about it now. The point to which the convention should address itcel’ is the free navigation of the Amagon, and the establishinent of a hoe of mail steamers between ‘ at the mouth of that river, ond Norfolk or ton, or some other Atlantic port of the south- exn States. Our trade with Brazil ready most valuable. he Missi ‘y is the great place of consump- tien for her coffee, and she the great consumer of the productions of the States represented in the con- vention. And how is it, do you snppoge, that our business men, for the want of this liue of steamers to the Amezon, Carry on their correspondence with Brazil, and ali of Atlantic South America? Why, not- ee the mouth of the Amazon is at our own doors, and there is a regular line of steamers thence to Rio, yet the American merchant who wishes to iter to that country must first send it to igland ; thence it goes by aa English mail steamer to Kio, and thence it may turn north again and come in a Brazilian steamer to Pernambuco, or even to Para, or go up stream into Peru, Bolivia, &e. I quote tre he morning papers the following semi official a: ement a8 to the mails tor Brazil: Repveuon oF Postace to Braat.—We are authorized tosay that hereafier the single rate of letter postage be- | tween the United States apd Brozit, via England, will be | forty five cents, instead of eighty reven cents as hereto- fore, pre-payment required Thus you see we ure ving to support the steam. | marine of Great Britain with this postage, and by allowing ber to fetch and carry cur Brazilian cor- | respcndence her merchants have two weeks or more the start of ours in all the markets of that portion of | South America.

We meg ae our children standing on the last of the Chickasaw bluffs, count- ing ie Amazonian beats as they pass and repass, and telling their cargoes. There goea one, we may suppose him to say, deeply laden, from the Rocky Mountains; she is to discharge her cargo at the foot of the great falls, where the Amazon takes its last hen from the Andes; she exchanges salutations with one just coming up the river from Eastern Peru. Her cargo is an one of great value— fine wool, precious metals, spices, cocoa, Perivian bark, anda en variety of tropical fruits, both rich and rare, make up the rich assortment. “ There is ove from Boli' She has a cargo of cofiee and tobacco, as superior to that of Mocha and Havana as the cotfve of is to Jack Tar's best “‘geateh.” That one coming down the river there is from Pittsburg, with u shipment of glass, hardware, and fancy articles. She is bound for the markets of | Quito, and is going on a trading voyage with the eastern provinces of Ecuador for gold dust, cochi- neal, indigo, and other dves, more brilliant by far even than the Tyrian. s ‘That one that is now passing her is from the dia- mond region of Brazil, where the rivers also roll | down their jewelled sands, bright with gold and pre- cious stones. ‘There is one just turning into the landing at Mem- phis. She is in the drug and dye stufftrade. She has the most brilliant crimsons, scarlet and purple, with the richest assortment of spices and gums that ever crossed the seas. New Orleans and Para, Tabatinga and Wheeling, St. Louis and Nauta, would each and all be in con- nection by regular lines of steamboats. The upper countries’ of the Amazon, and the people on the headwaters of the Mississippi, the Missouri, and | their tributaries, would be in closer and more easy communication than the people of Tennessee or Ohio were with New Orleans when we were boys. You recollect the custom was for our yor men in those days, after gathering their crops in the fall, to build | a “broadhorn,” or keel boat, toembark upon it with | their crop, ang drift down the river to New Orleans and a market. Arrived there, they sold both boat and cargo and walked back. This brought their re- turn so late in the spring, that seed time had already passed. And thus it was—one year to make a crop, another to get it to market. a J have seen these things when a boy: in the Missis- sippi valley; so have you; and thereforeyoushould not ; now, in your more advanced life, call me visionary when I invite you to “take an excursion into the fur- ture’! upon the Amazon, and there to “feast your imagination” with the contemplation of the Missis- sippi—like changes on the other side of the equator, and of what the Atlantic slopes of South Aterica are to be to the commerce, the greatness, and the glory of this country when the “freedom of the seas’ shall in reality be established upon the waters of the Amazon. Whin that day comes, the mouths ‘of the jppi and Amazon, New Orleans and Para, without the aid of the enchanter’s lamp or the wand of the sorcerer, will be within two weeks of each other. Amazonia will cupply this country with all the inter-tropical productions of the world; for it is a country, whether we consider the wealth of its mine- ral or vegetable kingdom, of unsurpassed riches and resources, While we are receiving these things from this magic “ India,’ the United States would support the workshop and afford the granary for that country. ‘The boat-yards of the Aniazon would be on the Ohio and Upper Mississippi. The flouring mills of the Amazpn would be on the James river, her pack- ing house in our grazing States, and her looms amoug our manufacturing people. The picture I haye drawn is tame; for the axe, the steamboat, and the plough, are far more power- est magician. There- fore let us do what as good citizens, good neighbors, and good men we rightfully may, to tonch the waters | | | i | i | of the Amazon with the megic but real influences of steam, its forests with the axe, and its wastes with the plough; forin doing this we establish the foundations of commerce with a country that is alone | capable of sustaining the entire present population of the world. stenmers go, or did when I last inquired, once a | ~ Now, if th ¢ should run at intermediate it may laud its paseengers and mails at Nor- | t that be the terminus of the line) in twenty | s from Rio; thence in Pngland, via Collins’ | ateatuers, in elevén more; total thirty-one.

Just here, a gentleman direct from Lima has stepped in upon me, with messages and despatches from that country. The Amazonian fever is raging there. Peru is about to establish free ports upon her tributaries to the Amazon,* that she may let in the Mississippi steamboats upon the waters there. “Teli the North Americans,” says Tirado. the great Peruvian statesman, “we want to see them upon the Amazon, setilirg down upon our eastern slopes of the Andes, and bringing with them the steamboat, and the spirit of enterprise which chafacterizes them. We about to let down the bars at this end;”’ tell them ‘th must open the gate at the other, and come up to us with the Mississippi steamboas.?” Gallant little Bcuador, ardent as the rays of her own vertical sun, speaking through one of her high functionaries, sa, “‘Heuador will have a sure way of putting herself in connection with the United States. she has possessed the right of free navigation upon the Amazon.” Gonzalez Pizarro dd Captain Orellana sailed down that river to the Auantic im vessels bail and armed upon the Napo.

Granada, the State of enlarged views and en- lightened policy, the State which is already in close political aliance with us, haz canght up the strain, and echoed it back from her mountain peaks in tones too clear and distinct not to be understood. A high fonctionary, also of that government,to whose notice @ friend of mine had brenght the enl'ghtened decree of Bolivia, which establighee free ports upon he Ainezon, writes in reply: “New Granada is sat- i t steam navigation will naturally draw after it the emig » trade, and industry of all na- tions, and has already, by the law of April 7, opened er rivers to free navigation.” That government bas taken the lead of all the world in giving practical effect to the doctrine of free trade: “for,” continues this letter, “she has made some of her seaports free to the trade of the world, among which are included those of the Isthwus of Panama.” | “Heve no fears,” he says, ‘of New Granada; she is not going to follow, with regard to her tributaries | vid Amazon, the example of Brawil in regard to its month.” | “New Granada will not fail—and of this be yon aestired—to assert her rights to the navigation of the Amazon.

Mr. Bolton consented to loan him the amount for four years, at ten per cent apnval interest, and a macesqnae was drawn up- which Hudson signed and took with him to Parma, to procure the signature of his wife. On Tuesday he presented the mortgage, properly signed and acknowledged—the signatures of his wife, the jus- Roe dne one witnese, forgeries, of course—and re- ceived the $1,500 from Mr. Bolton. sterday, (17th,) Mr. Warner came to the city, and inquired for Hudson, saying he had agreed to sell him his farm, and he thought it time the papers were executed. Meeting with Mr. Bolten, the facts stated above were ascertained, and Mr. Warner pro- nounced the deed a forgery. So shrewd and perfectly executed a piece of ras- has not recently occurred in this vicinity; and the forger having a week the start of law, officers and lightning, itis but barely possible that he will aren by either of them.—Cleveland Herald, jay 18. Unrrep Staves Light Arti.uyry.—aA few daya since, says the St. Louis Republican, a number ot gentlemen from this city had the pleasure of witneas- ing the exercise of target-shooting at Jefferson Bar- racks, by Captain Brown's company of light artil- lery. 1¢ was a test of what is called in the army service the “spherical-cased shot,’’ an improvement upen “Schrapnell’s’’ cased shot. The principle is this: Aniron case, like a bomb-shell, is loaded with musket balls, and just sufficient powder in the shell to explode it. The aperture is closed by a metallic fuse, which is so graded that it may be made to ex- plode at any given time from the instant of firing the cannon. en it explodes, the projectile force carries the balls within it one and two hundred yards | } further, almost in a horizontal line, and with a force equal to the discharge from a musket. To illastrate: It the artillery were a mile infront of the enemy, they would throw these spherical cased shot, calcu- lating the time and distance, so that it would ex- plode fifty yards in front of an enemy. When the shell exploded, it would send more musket balls through the enemy’s ranks than a whole company o! infantry would do, and with an equal or greater force. It is a death-dealing invention, and when brought to more experienced uve will make the light artillery the most important arm in warfare. _ ‘Lhe experiments were made under the supervision of Colozel Bragg, and witnessed by a number of Officers of the army. The shots were fired from a howitzer, and from a six-pounder, at the several dis- tances of 450,750, and 850 yards, ata comparatively small target, and it was completely riddled by the mucket balls. It was a most gratifying exhibition of the accuracy with which the artillery guns can be directed. Captain Brown’s company is now full, and the army cannot, we presume, boast of a more efiicient or better disciplined command. Married, In Philadelphia, on Tuesday, May 17, by the Rev. I’.
