Having just returned from visiting a remote part of the interior, viz.—the province of Chooo—I proceed, whilst tae impressions of travel are fresh upon my mind, to offer your numerous readers some views and facts bearing upon & Woo interesting topic. The effects of slave emancipation are nowhere more yisidio to the eye than in this country, although they pre- sent themrelves iu ruin and disaster on @ far grander scale tn the British West India Islands. It is certainly wmportant to kecp before the American public the results ef negro emancipation, not Ouly om the pogro character, Dat siso upon the industrial interests which depend upon cheap and compulsory \abor, especially agriculture, in climates wherein white labor is unavailable. Choco territory containing some thirty thousand square miles of surface, stretching nearly four hundred miles from north w south. It will be sufficient here, withort going into extensive geographical details, to say ‘tbat its grand artery of trade and travel, the Atrato, ‘felis, after a course (rom south to north, into the Gaif of Darien by about fourteen mouths, the nearest of which ty po! further than thirty hours? sail from Aspinwall. ‘This province was formerly one of the sources which supped the markets of the world with gold, and does so ont, bot to@ paltry and insignificant extent, since the recent experiment of slave emancipation has left the Dard work of mining to be done by free negroes, who have few wants to supply; and hating with a perfect hatred all labor that they can avoid, they can hardly be prevailed upon to work at all, excep! under the com- pulsion of hunger, Wf history lie not, their predecessors in bondage sup- pix d to a Spanish monarch the eighty millions of dollars i: gold from the Chocoap mines which he expended upon ‘We fortiications of Cartagena. Onder the roe regime the yory guns which crowned these noble works have been soid—alas | (be cay—to supply some pressing demands upon the pubitc treasury of Carthagena. Bn pasion’, let me dwell a little upon this “ operation,” which was as yoid of dignity as would be the trading away of a Revolutionary Srelock for dollare and cents. Brass pieces of that old Spanish mould which eduid not be surpassed in finikh and beauty, with tron guns of ali sises, besides phot and shell, awounting in all to ten ship toads, Dave within the last two years been shipped to the Turted Mates, and melted down im the furmaces 0!

Truly the glory bas departed from Carthageus—gone forever, ke the secret of the composition of that ‘amous cement used in their construction by which bricks were bound ‘nto a hardness uot less adamantine than the granite of Cronstadt and Sweaborg. Never again sball Carthagena resist the attack of 4 Britisn or any other foreign fleet, Her nobie bay is open to the world; yet it is far more de- fensibie than that of Sebastopol. It once had two en., erances, the jargest of which was, as@ measure of de- ferce, rendered impassable by sunken vessels aud stones, The reopening of thiy would be of immense utihty, by rendering the city accessible, without risk or @Mculty, in oll winde; and & very paltry sum—less than sixty thousand dollars—would sutiie for its accomplish- ment; yet this is beyond the ability of the New Graza- dian republic of to ¢ay.

From this village, which is roman' On ® promotory at the junction of the Atraty and Anda- guida, the former river, now a broad aud stream, commences what may be cafled its navigable course, ‘and winds majestically between lofty and wooded banks, reachivg Quibde, the provincial capital, a distance of twenty-five miles. Below Quibdo the Atrato increases in the beauty and majesty of its bends, towing with au ave- rage current of two and ahalf miles an hour, which is sometimes increased to pearly tour, and measurin, from side to ride, @ quarter to three-eighths of « mile. Below the junction of the Murinio, which is nearly eighty miles from’the sea, the banks are apioba- dited, being tanundated by the frequent tloods 4 small patch near the ent ‘the Suiro, is oocupied by afew —— ee eee o; fc or by teading wi ungomen! and uthers and descend. Below the Kio Suiro there is not and inch of dry land on either the margins being well defined by trees which densely overhang it, and 4 sea of swamp and jungle, alive with alligators, stretch away oa either silo to m distance of fifteen ocr twenty miles. This vast jungle 1s, of course, proli of fever of the remittent type, escaped by few those who, lured by gold, have ventured to into Choco. A Jorg detention in this swampy region cannot fail to be productive of sickness. Against this evil thers is but ope remedy, steam, whereby the might be made tn two days, which now occupies: weeks. But for @ strong breeze which generally blows from the Gul! of Darien, epabiing boats to sail up as far asthe Rio Suiro and even Murindo, tending w purify the stmosphere aud to reduce the temperature, the climate of rhis region would, doubtless, be far more unhealthy than itis. No tm iment to steam pavigation exists as far as Quibdo. A lookout must be kept for snags, which chietly lodge near the banks, and for floating trees, of which there are very few to be seen in mid stream, almost every male inba- bitant is qualified 10 act as a pilot— with su on the part of his employers—since aH travelling is per- caoutohouc, who ascend formed in canoes up and down this river and its aiiivents. The aspect of the river and its banks—iiluminated by @ererene sky, a8 it always is until the evening—is nobio and picturesque, the beauty of tbe scene deiag increasea by frequent views of the movataia ranges which bounds the vafley on either side. At vight it rains almost inva variably, from sunset until sunrise, with frequent thun der storms and lightning ot tropical brilliansy. Tow regulart y, however it is lo be accousted for, is un questionaply one of the most remarkable features of this Tation, render would otherwise be. The lapse of a few days without rain is followed by @ rise of the thermometer to an un Pleasant degree. Above the Murindo, where we note the rematns of an old Spanish ifort, now overgrowa wiih vegetation, the banks of the Atrato are dotted at pearly every balf mile with ranchos, or farm houses, uncouth in aspect, open oa every side, and roofed with the leaf of the palm tree. Joyfully does the traveller at nightfall disembark from bis canoe, in which bas sat ali cay long cramped up under # palm leaf a ipg, mount the steps of one of these simple dwelling where he 1s welcome to pass the night, without fee or reward. Every rancho has its plantain walk, its sugar plan tation, and its patch of corn. Bat, unfortunately, cultiva tion is at its lowest ebb. So densely are the plants crowded together that it is impossible to force a passage through them, ceeh robbing is neighbor of the air, Light ard carbon of the atmosphere, as well as of those saline ingredients of tbe soil without a due portion of which no piaat can yield or grow in perfection. My eflor to instil into the minds of this kind hearted but indolent people ihe principles of agricultural che- mistry, were not, I fear, very successfal To all I said Wey gave a ready assent, and pretended to listen with deep interest; Dut tthe the Spanish gypsies among whom a benevolent Enghshman endeavored tw introduce the Bivle, I suspect they siyly-sqatated at euc’ other the while. iy motto was, jotless, ike that of other sxricuiturists, “Practice before theory, but they were too pobte to express dissent, The results ot bad hus- bapdry are, however, very seriourly felt in Choco, where provisions tometimes attain a famine price, and but for the bocca chica, whose annux! abnvdence seems like provicential intervention, it ie provanie that a famine would actually take place, from time to time, in this golden region. ‘The bocca chica is w fish of tolerable favor, which every year descends (ne Atrato in immense sboais, and tw caught ond cured like uerrings on tue Scotca and Irish coasts. Bot for this aejunct the poparation of Choco, small as its, would Foon become ‘small by degrees ani beautfally lees.”” No one can venture to predict a failure of the piatain crop, & old Cobbet frretold the diseme and death of the potato in Ireland.“ The plautatn,’” said Homboldt, “is tbe mort prolitie source of human food ia creation,” and it is to be fearet that it will always continue to prevent the negro race from being ttarved into good farming and active babies, only in Cnoco, put South America. Besides the crops mention’ tbrouguout gene. rly fod, grouped uround thoee cottages, a variety of fruft trees, such as the orange, the bread{ruit, the wav, and the cocoa or chocolate wee—to¢ last ef which should become @ source of great commercial mporianceo—sigce it powbere attains greater perfection than bere. line- apples, guavas, and many other frvits too numerous to mention, are cultivated, or rather permated to grow. Nowhere, in tact, couse zealous fi uit grower exercise hie skill more successfully. Yet of these articles of produce the quantity brsught to market is singularly small, eviucing very foraioty the excessive jszipess of the ownere—! dare not call producers—and at Quibdo they are sold at prices far less moderate than might be expected in # country where vegetation actually reigns paramount, by reason of a moist but regular climate, and « (ostering yet oot a ecorching sun. Much of the negro’s in 1u'gence ta State is doubt lees to be accounted for by the lity with which nature has scattered the means of livelinood over those tropical regions where bie lot iscast. Woy work, when be can erjoy the du/ce for mien at the prive of a0 iitie tou?
