THE DARIEN EXPEDITION. Interesting Facts Connected With the Explorations, a'r. Gisborne’s Unreliability—Geological and Mineralogical Facts—But Few Traces of Gold—Plenty of Copper Discovered— Chances of a Canal Route— Height of the Rivers. UNITED SraTEs StoresmiP GuarD, } GULF oF SAN BLas, May 18, 1870. ‘There ts no mountain at the junction of Sucubti and Chuqunaque, where Mr. Gisborne places the Loma Deseada on his fanciful map of Commander ‘Prevogt’s route across, the Isthmus. Moreover, the Loma Deseada ts not “the junction of a range of mountains,” It is simply an isolated peak at the Junction of the river La Paz and the river Chuqun- aque, and, as its mame indicates, It is neither very large nor very high, although it 1a visible at @ con- siderable distances Before our surveying party Made their Chaqunaque excursion the results of the Sucabti survey had demonstrated that a tunnel at least twelve miles long would be requisite for a canal Yrom Caledonia barbor to the Gulf of San Miguel. Had the plané table been used in that survey, as ‘was originally intended, the Sassardi survey, inte- ‘Testing as, on many accounts, it proved, might not ave been indispensable, although it served to con- firm results already obtained. The three laborious ‘Weeks devoied tv the Washington river survey were Mot lost, for it had become absolutely necessary to ‘convince the world and even Dr. Cullen himself that ‘the latter 1s not an tnfallible authority on all matters Pertaining to the Isthmus. The geological and mineralogical facts disclosed ‘by the Sassardi survey were deeply interesting. But on both the Sassardi anit the Sucubti the very slight ‘traces of gold justified neither the glittering title of Castillo de Ore—Golden Castle—which Balboa and Anis contemporartes bestowed on this territory, nor the cupidity which 1s betrayed by those Colombian Congressmen who insist on atreaty clause that shall specially guarantee to their government all the mineral wealth possibly to be discovered during the survey and construction of an interoceanic canal. 1f Mr. Bowdlich, the mineralogist of the Sassardt party, found scarcely any gold yet, he often found unmistakable signs of copper. One day he dls- covered a belt of native copper forty feet wide, and ‘traced it a-distance of half a mile. it ran from the camp to @ litue north of the junction of the two main branches of the Sassard!. This copper was mixed with calc spar in a@ trap like the Lake Superior trap. It was in small particles through the course of the bed, nearly east by west or south by east, and west ‘by horth. Pebbies with copper were found further ‘Up stream—so there muy be more, or else the stream ‘W.nds 80 asto strike the bed again.

There seemed to be two other sets ‘of veins made before the trap dykes—courses, west by north, and east by south, west by south and east by north. They were composed of quartz, calc spar, basaliic matter or quartz and iron py- rites.

About half way between the fork- Ang of the river the ‘culuumar structure of the trap is beautifully shown.

Forr Monrog, Va., June 27, 1870, To rug EpiTor or THE HERaLp:— A lute issue of the HeRacp contained an allusion to the presence of the large garrison stationed at Fortress Monroe and other posts on the seacoast, while the nostile Indians are devastating tie great trail from the Kansas Pacifie Railroad to New Mexico and the vast tract west of the Missourt. Permit me to tnvite your attention to a statement of facts, which I take pleasure in placing before you, with the hope that you may flad something in it of which you can make use. General Hancock, commanding the Department of Dacotah, has not more than five hundred troops available for defence in his whole commana. Geueral Pope, commanding the Department of the Missouri, has so few troops for defensive operations in that department that the greater part of the four batteries of light artillery stationed at Fort Riley, Kan., has inate up the valley of the Repubil- Indians. a commanding the Department of the Platte, has a wretchedly small force to guard a territory threatened with one of the bloodiest Indian’ wars we lave ever experienced. ‘Tlie need of troops on the Plains ts 80 great that the setulement of one of the most fertile districts in the West is utterly retarded by the dangers to which set- tlers must expose themselves in pushing beyond the frontier, and those who are there are threatened with all the atrocities wnich mark savage warilare.

There was also some slight aud temporary uneasiness concerning the Funding bill, which was before the House this after- noon, with the prospect of speedy action. As it proposes a thirty-year four per cent bond Wail street has in general ceased to be afraid of it.
