BRAZIL. Caolerina Prevalent in the Vailey of the Ams zon—Gathering of Tarile Exgs. Rio JANEIRO, Feb, 24, 1869. The valley of the Amazon is being scuurged by an epidemic which has prosirated nearly all the in- habitants, bat with comparatively few fatal cases, It is styled cholerina, and, commencing at tie the road, itls no wonder that the average cost of introdu g goods and distributing them over Bo- livia by this route is $200, gold, per ton, or ten cents per pound. By the way of Cobija it costs Their names are the Beni, Mamore and Guapore, or Menez. The I has seventy-two branches, all more or le: bie for canoes whien freight from one to thr Twenty inferior streams swell the volume of the Mamore, which, In a eourse of.nearly nine hundred miles through the very heart of Bolivia, carries in the dry season from five to fifty Jeet of water, with a breadth varying from one hun- dred to five hundred yards. The Guapore, forming the boundary line between Brazil and Bolivia, has its headwaters almost in sight of the head- Waters of the Rio de la Plata, It receives some thirty-seven afiuents of various sizes; from those permitting large canoe navigation to rivera which can be ascended by large steamers, The aggregate Jength of these alilueuts of the Madeira with their tributaries canaoi, ata rough estunate, fall short of 6,000 mies. OF THEIR NAVIGABILITY. Of the 5,000 miles mentioned, at least 2,000 are suited to steamboat navigation in the dry season, and in the wet season, at least 1,000 miles mole may be added for light draft steamers. For 400 miles of the lower Matore a steamer, drawing tweive feet of waver, could rau the entire year. The banks of these rivers afford excellent natural landing places throughout almost their entire extent, like the Mis- Sissipp! aud the / arana, ‘The Bermejo and Pilcomayo can scarcely be called Navigable. The former carries but very little water in the dry season, and tue former, at & point about 250 miles from lis mouth, is almost absorved by a vast sandy plain. Above this some fifty miles a fall of esa Gee feet is found, witn very litue water ‘ond w the Paraguay branch of the Plata river it may be said that it Will prove a great ouuet for Bolivian roducts when the Immense wild lands of southeast livia are settied and made to yield their wonder- ful natural wealth Into commercial marts.

Between this ee and the present centre of population it would to travel at least 800 miles of wilds, with no road, The Bolivians, therefore, very properly turn their eyes towards the Amazon as the natural outlet for their products to the commerce of tue world, CLIMATE. To descrtbe the climate of Bolivia would require too Tuch space for the limits of this paper, for it could only be faithfully done province by province. Al- though almost entirely within the tropics it may be said that two-tiirds of its terri- tory is of the temperate zone. But even within this, almost any climate desirable to man may be selected. Far over, towards the frontier of Brazil, rich tablelands, of from three to seven thousand feet elevation, are found, inviting the hand of man to unlock their dormant wealth. Very few diseases are known. In the east small- xX and diarrhcea are Common, the former from jack of good physicians, the latter from want of care. All travellers attest to the climate being one of the healthiest in the world—Humboldt, d’Aubigné, Haenke, Castelnau, Gibbon and others who, at different periods bave made explorations in the country under direction of their respecuve govern- ments. THE YOPULATION of the country is in great part upon the Amazon slope. Many populous centres are found upon the banks of the rivers far mm the east and northeast. Among vhese towns are Santa Craz, containing some 12,000 inhabitants, and Trinidad, capital of the reat Beni province, having 6,000. The people may be divided into two great sections—mining and agri- cultural. The valleys of the Ben! and Mamore far- nish their agricultural products to the mineral districts, and in exchange receive the foreign goods which find their way into the minerai centres, which have heretolore intercepted all commerce between the Bolivia valley of the Amazon and the outside world, One-half of the 2,000,000 of the Bolivian people are of the Quichua and Aymara Indian races. Tie lat- ter have their centre of population at La Paz. he former cover a greater extent of territory, and may be said to be scattered over three-rourchs of the county.

The balance of trade against the country is pail oy a@ part of her silver product, which 1s, including ined, uncoined and smuggied silver about $2,000,000 annually. She has tound it absolutely impossible to get her magnificent productions above enumerated fnto the markets of the world by the way of the Andes, owing to the excessive cost of trausporiation, Since her organization as a nation she has watched her imports irom Europe as Oy have pas: the mouth of the Amazon and made the danzgero' and tedious pas: of Cape Horn. She has then seen them landed in an open roadstead, and after wards on mule back carried directly over the moun- tains, at an elevation of 14,000 feet, to be de- posited, finally, upon the navigabie branches of the river whose mouth they assed five months before. No wonder that Bolivia nas ever turned her eyes towards the Amazon as the true outiet of Ler vast and fertile territory, Two mullions of people, occupying @ territory one-third the size of our Mississippi valley, nine times the size of the State of New York, eiglit times that of Eng- jand and twice the size of Prance—a very paradise of wonderful productions, both mineral aad vege- table—have been locked up agen the finest slope of the Andes for half acentury. Brazil, up to 1867, kept the key in her pocket and forced the trade over the mountains, Our own government made strenuous etforts for twelve years to break through this barrier and reach the five republics at the head waters of the Amazon, but all to no purpose. Brazil felt tat its lower Amazon was too unsetticd and that the proper moment for opeu- ing the grandfather of waters bad not arrived. Loitier ideas. broader ana more liberal views flually at maied the now keen and able statesmen of the em- pire, and their far-seeing Emperor broke the barrier in the decrees of December, i568, and the still more liberal measures oi September, 1867. The whole Andean siope of the Amazon then turned eastward. Venezuela, New Granada, Ecuador and Peru teit the touch, and to-day have steamboat connection via the Amazon with the world. Bolivia was no less auxious, Following the decree of December, 1866, she, in March, of 1587, made a treaty of limits, commerce and navigauon with Brazil. This was, late in 1865, ratified by both na- tions, and the result is we shall soon see steamers floating upoa the great Bolivian afluents or the Madeira. ‘The rapids of the Madeira are the only impedi- ment to free navigation from the ocean to the heart of Bolivia. ‘The lower one is situated 240 miles trom te mouth of the Madeirh and #49 from the city of Para, near the mouthof the Amazon. From ‘the lower to the upper rapid is 140 miles, by a curve in the river, which is concave to the east. In this curve are seventeen cachuelas, the Indian name for rapids. Heavily loaded canoes of from two to three tons shoot a are dragged up fourteen of them. The other three aré more formidable; the canoes are unloaied and around them, The margins of the river are low on both sides, but a straight line drawn from the upper to the lower rapid ou the chord of the river arc would cut along the base of a low range of hills and form an excclient road line 150 milesiong. It is along this line that the Brazilian engiueers have been making a survey bo estimate the cost of a rall- way to [teins and their own Matogrossy pro- vince. ogrosso has an immense aud productive area, in no Wa, inferior im natural Wealtu to Bolivia, It contains about 100,000 Inhavitants, It is believed by the engineers Who have examined the rapids that they may be canalized. The entire fall, as near as tcan esluiute frum tie engiavert reports before me, is about 150 feet in the 180 miles, or ten inches, average, to the mile. The rapids are, however, separated by long stretches of smooth, deep water, ranging trom forty to 150 feet deep. A thorough examination of the rapids will suggest the best method of making their tragsit, In the great trade which has now sprung up they are passed by canoes, The average distance from the upper rapid to the different centres of trade in Bolivia is about 500 miles, Therefore froin the mouth of the Amazon to the heart of Bolivia we have 1,620 miles with no interruption except the rapids A ton of goods, by siow freight steamers, caa be shipped from London or New York and led at the lower rapid of San Antonto for twenty doll can make neit of the rapids by canoe or mule baek for f irs at most, and for ten doitars more it may be ianded by steamer at Vinchuata, near Cochabamba, Wuich gives @ cose of seventy doi ars, id, ond forty-tour days time, against five or six jwoutis Via Cape Horn and not less thaa €216, guid incluarn nt from Europe or the United States to Ari nt rates.

JAMAICA. Stenmer Mount Vernon=Withdrawal of the White Troops—Sympathy with the Cubans Steamer Line from New York—Suger Manus facture, KINGSTON, Mareh 28, 1869. In my previous letter the American steamer Mount Vernon was on the eve of being sold, and the case was creating considerable interest tu the city, Mr. Gregg, the United States Consul, had been fally alive to the honor of the United States, and pressed his investigation 80 lar as to create no litle alarm @inong those interested in the purchase, and he fouad out that Mr. Hollister, the American Minister at Port au Prince, had pronounced her a piratical steamer, because it was known she had conveyed war material improperly from a peaceful port in tie Bahamas to St. Mare to be used on the lugh seas against the republic of Hayti, uuder cover of the American flag. The repairs being put on che Mount Vernon were of the most significant character, and, although there were no guns in her, she was being unquestionably fitted for them. Mr. Gregg, in his official capacity as Consul for the United States, re- moved her crew, stating that he would never permit any man over whoin he had influence to prostitute the flag of his country. From what Ihave been able to gather it appears that the object of the parties couce-ned in the Mount Vernon Is to get her to perform the voyage between this and St. Marc under the English flag, and that so soon as she reached that port she would then siup her guns and ammunition, and, hoisting the Maytien flag, set out on her mission of destruction. If the voyage to St. Mare under the British fag could be successfully performed there would be no dificuity in effecting the grand object in view. She would only have to report herself at an open port of the wie and submit to an overtauling by the gov- ernment of Salnave, and all papers betag found cor- rect, nothing coutrabaad of war, she couid then sail triumpaantiy into St, Marc (where her guns are 1 to be awaiting her) and change her coaracter and nationality. The dificuity, of course, is to accom- plish this under cover of law, and it is very ciear tat these concerned have doubts as to the practi- cabilily of the plan. Mr. Wooley, the Maytien Con- sulin tus city, tas made his report tu lus govern. ment at Port au Prince, and Mr. Gregg continues observant of all the procec lings.

Those most interested and who sre affected by the changes materially, exccedingly regret Stoneman’s removal—not upon political grounds, but because his adsainistration of affairs has been generally popu- lar, though sometimes, and in many instances, €X- ceedingly unpleasant, Then there is a ciass who rejoice that the famous raider is gone; but they are few, and “carpet-bagger”’ 1s the title by which they are individually known, Here, as in every other Southern State, this precious set hada “ring,” which was first to have the Governorshtp, then the State oMices, next all the mmor offices throughout the State, and Jollowing as a necessary result of these would be success in the elections und control of the Legislature, with the United States Senator- ships ta their bands, Stoneman, however, refused to accede to all ther demands, and hence an active warfare was waged agalust him by (hs “ring”? at Washington, which ultimately resulted ja lis removal, Charges of dis- loyalty, copperheadism and others equally outrage- ous and intamous were publicly made against tis oMicer by irresponsible parties, to which it was im- possible for tim to reply because of his oficial capacity.

He received me courteously, and being invited to a seat in his library, which is a very handsome one, a lengthy conversa- tion ensued. “So, General, you are removed.” I remarked, “Yes, and Lam glad of it. I have been anxious togo to California for the last four years. General Schofield, as well as myself, particularly wished to go there, and I only regret that he has not been assigned to that command. Besides, [am giad to get rid of this eternal political muddle in which I am not interested, and for which I have neither taste nor inclination.” “Whet do you suppose caused your removal ?”” “T have no idea, except that it was done through the influence of politicians who could not use me to further their ends and alms, Upon taking command here I determined to be guided altogether by the reconstruction laws, and under these to administer aifairs impartially, without regard to political par- ties. This I have done to the letter, as far as cir- cumstances would allow or the interests of the State would justify; but when I would not gery- mander certain laws to satisfy certain interested parties and appoint this man to be Governor, that man to be Treasurer and the other to be Auditor, I became an obstacte to reconstruction,”” “It is alleged, General, that you removed Goy- ernor Wells because of the charges of mail robbery existing against him, and that that act subsequentiy caused your removal.’ “The first is a great mistake. I had nothing to do with any charges of a criminal nature made against Governor Weils. Such matters belonged properly to the courts, and I suppose the United States civil officers here are Pionouey competent to protect its interests. ~ And, then, { did not remove Wells, nor did | suspend tim. tf merely devolvea the ouly du- tes he performed —tiose of part coavicts and appotating notaries public—upon the commanding general until further orders, He still continued to draw his salary and play croquet on the lawn—(with @ laagh)., Had l removed hit there isan order in existence that would have prevented his reappoimt- ment by my succesor, and this I left to General Canby. 1 absorbet Wells’ duttes because he exer- cised the pardoniug power too freely for political pur- poses, and because his poltey was proseriptive, jeaving It at the option of my successor to 0 as he pleased. Weils aiso transcended the authority cou- ferved apon him. As to whether that caused my re- movai | am not aware, but suppose it had someching to do with if.” “Your enemies state, too, neral, that you were @ party to the “new movement” and had frequent con- ferences with the “comuttee of ame."? “| had nothing wi ever to do with polities, mach less the ‘new mo’ nt.’ Once or twice one or two genUemen called upon me to ask ny advice as to the course they should pursue in regard to the ‘new movement,’ and I told them I saw no use in rolug to Washington with a provest in one hand aad a condidion in the other, What they wanted would have to be obtaiaed from the repabitcan party, and they were evidently outside of 1. Get tuto the ring, gentiemen, or you will fatl Don't depend on the Jalacy of establishing a Grant party, but go at once to work and organize @ thorough republican party and then you may succeed. As lor Waiker, of New York—ihe hew movement nominee—I have never seen him but two or three times ta my tile, and ouly to speak tw him once, and then nothing poittical was broached.” “Why have you not appointed State officers, such as Auditor, &c. “Well, these oftices must be under the immediate di- rection aud control of the commanding general in the adininistration of the affairs of the State, and thelr incumbents comprise a sort of civil stait to him, 1 therefore determied to leave these appoint ments to General Canby, Knowing that would be the most beneticial course to pursue for the State ac large. I have invariably been guided by the Later- ests of tue people, as 1 have a firm beltef in the maxim that the administration of government should be for the interest of tae governed,” “Prom what classes lave your appointees been chiciy seiectedy* “From no particular class. Loyaity to the govern- ment was iirst required; then, this being estabiished, the ability to take the oath and qualiy under the State laws, such as giving bonds, &c., was ex- amined into, and, tyese being satisfactory, the appomtment was male, But so irksome was this that | had to appoint a board compose! of Generais Granger and Wilcox, Colonels Stone and Franklin, Who, from their knowledge of the State, would be abie to recommend suitabie persons for the vacant oitices, ‘This arrangement | found to work very sutis- lactorily, aud consideravie head gar was ub in many sections It was imposst to tnd any per- Son Whatsoevor abie to quailly,and in such places non- comifissioned oiicers, as fat as L could spare them trom the service, Were made sheriils, magistrates, &c. The whole number of offices in the state are 6,446, Of these General Schofleid filed 682; myself, 2,001; leaving 2,614 yet to ve flled.”” What 1s Your opinion of tae general condition of the state ?” “Weil, it must be acknowledged its material inter- ests ave not in a very fourishiag condition. 1 have endeavored in every instance to prevent expense in corporations throughout the State, aud I believe by defeating @ ring I saved this city half a Jnillion, that would have been paid for whiskey aad other claims. Its poiitical condition will speak for itself, In many places there are no civil osticers, and in some there are one or two, who are unable to transact business because of the ab- sence of the others. Until the entire machinery 1s complete it will be dimecult to do any work. Mean- tine the people are quiet and peaceable under this trying ordeal, and i have yet to hear of the first dis- turbance of any moment since this revolution ia tie offices commenced, Indeed, for the past two years Virginia presents a record that is enviable. No other State North or Souta can boast of less crime witliin her borders, On tne whole the condition of the State Is as good as could weil have been expecced under the circumstances,’? “Then, General, you have a consctentious approval of your course" came here @ stranger and am yet acompara- tive stranger, T had no enemies to punisn; no frrends to reward. {have done my daty vo the best of my ability aud | believe my course ts approved by nine-tenths of the people of Virginia’ it was quite late in the evening and I wished the General “good evening.” A BIAVE YOUNG SAILOR, ‘Yo THE Eorcow ov THR Lighato:— A correspondent at Rio deseribes a very gallant feat performed by a young Aw nf midshipman belonging to the fagslip Guerriere, of Admiral Davi’ squadron. He was in charge of a boat sent on shore to pick up @ number of satiors who had overstayed their leave, and secured a dozen of them (after some resistance, as the men Were in liquor aud two of them so violent as to make tt necessary to handcuff them), and placed them on the steam Janneh and started them for the frigate, Soon after a cry Was raised on shore that aman had jumped overboard from the launca and Was drownng, ‘The riidsiupinan ran to the terry dock, jumped over: board and swam to the drowning man, and, by Ye ag his collar and held him up until ke could place him in a boat and then restored nua to consclonsness by having lilin rolled on a basket and placed him on the launch.

Among the parcels put up was the lot on the corner of Grand and Crosby streets, occupied by the old stone church, which was purchased a year ago as a site for the new Masonic Temple for $163,000, The proposed lo- cation meeting with a great deal of opposition from many of the ‘free and accepted” caused its resale. Yesterday it brought $190,000, a very fair apprecia- tion for that part of the city. The improvement be- fore noticed in the market continues, and it only re- mains with owners of property and brokers, in act- ing with proper diseretion and hdnerable candor in thelr dealings, to restore more than its lost tone by securing a return of activity based upon sounder theories and practice.

The subject of conversation yesterday was the wholesale theft of bonds of the Beneficial ou au Fund. A very elegantly wade steel jimmy was foun yesterday in the cetlar window the Academy Natural Sciences. It is supposed to have beeu used by the thieves, and thrown there as they were taking thetr from the savings bank. It has been discovered that the amount of bonds stolen will reach $900,000, exclusive of the cash. Indluded in this amount is a diamond bracelet con- taining 200 Drtiliants and valued at $10,000. A val- uable single stone bao) the pro) of the laly elet, was recently remove who owned the od from the iystitution sent to another élty to bo the westera dis ed of.
