Mr. Stanley, the Hznacp special correspond- ent from Africa, has received the following letters relative to the successful issue of the American search for Doctor Livingstone and Its results. “6 Earl Granville’s Official Letter. Forgicn Orrice, August 1, 1872. Str—I am directed by Earl Granville to ac- knowledge the receipt of a package containing letters and despatches from Dr. Livingstone, which you were good enough to deliver to Her Majesty's Ambassador at Paris for trans- mission to this department, and Iam to con- vey to you His Lordship’s thanks for taking charge of these interesting documents. Iam, your most obedient, humble servant, ENFIELD. Henay M. Stanuzy, Esq. The Livingstone Depaunes Certified by Lord Granville. Upon intimation to Lord Granville that some persons are ungonerous enough to throw doubt.on the genuineness of Doctor Living- stone's despatches, His Lordship, Earl Gran- ville, wrote the following autograph letter: — Aveust 2, 1872. Sm—I was not aware until you mentioned it that there was any doubt as to the authen- ticity of Dr. Livingstone’s despatches, which ‘you delivered to Lord Lyons on the Sist of duly; but, in consequence of what you have | said, | have inquired into the matter, and I find that Mr. Hammond, the Under Secretary of the Foreign Office, and Mr. Wyld, the head of the Consular and Slave Trade Department, hhave not the slightest doubt as to the genuine- ness of the papers which have been received 4rom Lord Lyons and which are being printed. I cannot omit this opportunity of expressing to you my admiration of the qualities which have enabled you to achieve the object of your mission, and to attain a result which has | deen hailed with so much enthusiasm both in the United States and in this country. Iam, sir, your obedient, GRANVILLE. Henny M. Stanuey, Esq. From Doctor Livingstone’s Son. The following has been received from Dr. Livingstone’s son: — Mr. Henry M. Stanley has handed to me to-day the diary of Dr. Livingstone, my father, sealed and signed by my father, with instructions written on the outside, signed by my father, for the care of which, and for all his actions concerning and to my father, our very best thanks are due. We have not the slightest reason to doubt that this is my fa- ther’s journal, and I certify that these letters which he has brought home are my father's letters and no other. 8. LIVINGSTONE. English Hospitalities to Stanley. Mr. Stanley is received with warm hospi- tality—invited to dine with Lord Granville and Lady Franklin, to breakfast with the ‘Duchess of Argyll, and to become the guest of tke Mayor of Brighton during the session of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. The Doubting Thomases of France and Germany. Paris, August 2, 1872. Le Temps is inclined to doubt the authenticity of the Livingstone letters published by Mr. Stanley. | It quotes the opinion of the German geographer, Kiepert, who discovers various geographical blun- ders in the letters, He thinks that part of the nar- Fative was invented by Mr. Stanley, and hence the ‘whole is valueless, and hints that it is possibie that Stanley nover saw Dr. Livingston ENGLAND.

THE COLORED VOTERS HORRIFIED The Result of the Polling Not Definitely Known. CONSERVATIVE Republicans Determined Not to Yield Till the Last Moment. RALEIGH, N. ©., August 2, 1872. The*North Carolina election returns are in a muddle, All the returns received to-day would fill the HsxaLp. Correspondents and local politicians have been figuring all day, and yet they make out nothing definite or reliable. It may take an oMecial count to ascertain the result; only an oMcial count can give the actual majorities, THE STATE CLAIMED BY CONSERVATIVES. The democrats now claim the State by a majority ranging from 2,000 to 3,000, Republican politicians and State oficia!s decline to give up the result, although the Fra, the Republican organ of the State, half concedes the election of Merrimon by a ‘small majority.” But these concessions are worth nothing, and indicate noth- ing. Returns come in slowly, confused and in- complete, showing a largely increased vote for both parties over that of 1870, This in- crease tends to the general confusion. Friends of both parties telegraph to headquar- ters gains, without reference to majorities; and in their comparisons they totally discard each other's reports, Thus it is impossible to figure with any intelligence for the result. It is more than probable that Merrimon {s elected by a small ma- jority, and it is certain that both branches of the Legislature are democratic. DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL GAINS. From the First Congressional district enough only is known to place the result in great doubt. Demo- crats are of the opinion, however, that O. L. Cobh, republican, is re-elected, and that C. R, Thomas, of the Second Congressional district, republican, is also re-elected. A. M. Waddell, democrat, in the Third district is probably re-elected. W. A. Smith, re- publican of this, the Fourth Congressional district, 1s probably elected by a majority of several hun- dreds. J, M. Leach, democrat, beats Judge Thomas Settle, republican, Chairman of the Philadelphia Convention, in the Fifth district. Willlam Rob- bins, Thomas S. Ashe and R. B, Vanse, democrats, are certainly elected from the Sixth Seventt’ and Eighth districts. The democrats are as jubilant as they were last night, while the repub- Means, though depressed, are stubborn and do not Ylela the result in the Gubernatorial contest. } The oficial vote of this, Wake county, shows an increased republican majority of 192 over the vote of 1870," Johnston reduces the democratic majority 287. REPUBLICAN GAINS IN. THE FAST. The counties of Sampson, Wlison, Lenoir, Onslow, Rockingham, Franklin, Gaston, Lincoln, New Han- over, Brunswick, Halifax, Edgcombe, Craven and Wayne, heard from to-day. give republican gains on the vote for Attorney-General of 1870 of 3,364. These counties mainly lie in the east, and vote large negro @ajorities. There are a few slight gains for the democrats in some of the counties of the east, but too indefinite and small to take into account. THE CONSERVATIVE VOTE IN THR WEST. Buncombe, Davidson, McDowell, Burke, Cald- well, Iredell and Stanly, seven specimen counties of the west, from whence the democrats looked for their greatest strength, give only 391 demo- cratic gains. The republican gains in the east are much larger proportionally than the demo- cratic gains in the west, but by the vote of 1870 the republicans must overcome a majority of 4,995 to carry the State. Orange county, the home of Governor Graham and Josiah Turner, of the Senti- ‘nel, by the official vote gives a MAJORITY OF SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR FOR MERRIMON, a loss of ninety-three from the democratic majority, of 1870. Greene, Pitt, Union and Alamance, former republican counties, give a democratic gain in the aggregate of 617. The greatest interest has been manifest in the city all day. Both parties awoke this morn- ing with the conviction that they were beaten. At ‘about ten o'clock the demo- crats rallied and the republicans slightly gave way. At two o'clock the democrats shouted | they had the day by 12,000. This took the republi- cans completely off their “pegs,” and the negroes, of whom several hundred had congregated at the County Court House, presented asorry sight. They regarded tne day as lost and “all up with them.” HORRORS OF DARKEYDOM. | Various speculations and apprehensions were in- | dulged in, Some thought they must inevitably lose thelr right to vote; others thought they would be remanded back to slavery, and declared their intention of going back to their old masters, while one approached me and seriously asked if in the case of Merrimon’s election there would be any more law in the State. One old darkey | wrought himself into @ terrible passion, and swore with an oath that he would never vote for Horace Greeley, for he had been an abolition man for twenty years. If Merrimon could have carried the State by a majority of tweive or fifteen thousand the democrats would have helpelessly split the negro vote beyond the hope of reunion, but unless the republicans are soundly thrashed they will rally gallantly to the reserve this fall and make them- selves troublesome in the Presidential contest. THE RESULT FROM FORTY COUNTIES. At the democratic headquarters they have been figuring closely on the returns, and they make out a gain for the democrats in the forty odd counties | heard from officially and unofiicially of three thousand two hundred and seventy-four, and the | republican gains of 2,197—majority of gains over the repuplicans, 1,077. The remain- ing counties gave the democrats a majority in 1870 of 3,963, so that by calculation Merrimon will beat Caldwell by 5,040, supposing that the democrats hold their own in the remaining | fifty odd counties, about which there is great doubt. MERRIMON SLIGHTLY BEHIND IN THE WEST. In five of the best democratic counties of the west Merrimon falls behind the democratic majority of two years ago 141 votes. The figures I have first submitted are my own, made from a full and careful comparison of the returns received by both parties, While the figures from democratic headquarters are based on in- formation received from Democratic sources, 1 am confident that Merrimon is elected, but I place bis majority, on the best information acces- sible, at twenty-five hundred. The anxiety of the negroes is very great amd increased, and at this time (midnight) the telegraph office ts besieged by them. Additional Details of the Election. RALEIGH, August 2, The election returns come in slowly, but informa- tion, is to hand to safely claim the election of Mer- ings My conservative candidate fog Governor, by 4,000 to - 6,000 majority. The conservatives have made large gains in tne western counties as far as heard from, and gains in many of the eastern counties, and the republicans in some of the colored counties, particularly in the Fourth Congressional district, and the republicans are @ little hopeful to-night. Quite a number of counties are not heard from, but conservative gains are expected in those seovions. The result may be summed up as follows :—Conservative State ticket elected by from 4.009 t@ 6.000 majority; con-, servative Congressmen clected in the Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth districts; Smith, republican, elected over Rogers, in the Fourth district, by some 400 majority; Thomas, re- publican, elected in the Second district, with Car- teret county doubtful in the First district. ‘The Legislature will be largely democratic on a joint ballet. ‘The feeling is still intense, although every- thing is quiet. WILMINGTON, August 2, 1872, Merrimon’s majority is variously estimated from | five to ten thousand, ‘The probapility is that Smith (repubtican) is elected in the Raleigh dis- trict by avery small majority. The conservatives | certainly elect six out of eight Congressmen, and | Possibly seven. THE LIBERAL HEADQUARTERS. aL ya Additional News from North Carolina— Despatches Confirming the Great Victory—A Row Among Jerseymen. At the Glenham Hotel headquarters Colonel Allen remained in charge all day, receiving the throng of inquirers that came to hear news from North Carolina and answering the numerous tele- grams for news that came in almost hourly, Among the visitors were General Brinckerhoff, General Corse, Frederick 0. Prince, ex-Governor Hebert, General Barney, Colonel! Williamson, Colonel Coleman, of Louisiana, and Charles Ellard, of St. Lonis. The following despatches were received during the day :— Ravxron, N. C., August 29:15 A. M. Gains of Merrimon over “Chipp, former Attorney General's majority, about 2.000. Merrimon’s majority in the State will be about 6,000. W. G. MASON, Chairman State Committee.

Five meinbers of Congress, with one in doubt and chances for another, . P. WOOD. These despatches were all received with decorous expressions of gratification, showing that the en- thusiasm of the night before had not altogether spent itself, but had assumed a less hilarious form of expression. “It's a great revolution,” said one gentleman. “It’s the prairie on fire,’ said another. “You can’t put it out now.” “It's the anti-Tammany revolution of last year,” responded a third. ‘You don’t know how completely | it will sweep away the opposition until the ight i over. Durti the evening the following additional despatches were received :— Savtspory, N. C., August 2—10:42. Erman Aun :— Sufficient returns from Western North Carolina have Just been received to justify me in saying that the State stands redeemed from misrite, corruption and Grantiam by at least seven thousand majority. H. R. HELPER, RAvxign, August 2, 1872, Erman ALLEN :— Returns trom Johnson county show a conservative ma- Jority of 288. But Smith (radical) carried the county b 71. This makes the chance for Rogers very doubtful. We are sure of five members of Congress, a large ina. Jority of both branches of the Legislature, wivieh secures e election of United States Senator in place of John Pool. My first estimate of the State is the most proba om five to seven thousand. The Granites’ paper as surrendered and conceded our succes, Poor Bout. ‘well! Poor Delano! Advise Marshal Murray to pray for | them. Glory enough for one campaign. | W. P. Woop. This W. P. Wood is the old chief of the Secret Ser- vice Bureau, who offered his services to Allen to go to North Carolina early in the campaign, and, as he expressed it, “copper the ace of every Grant rascal that tried re ing or intimidation. 1 know them all,” said he, “and if EF get my clutches on them while they are at their tricks I'll send them out of North Carolina or into the State Prison.” “And the fact is,” said Allen, “when the ‘heelers’ find that Wood is around they keep very quiet.” A delegation of New Jersey committeemen were in session during the day, examining the case of Scovel, the chairman, whose resignation has been demanded and refused. The meet™g was quite bitter, Scovel openly defying them to expel him, and claiming that the Cincinnati Convention appointed him, and they cannot go back of that organization. The fight is not yet ended. THE SPINGLER HOUSE HEADQUARTERS, At the democratic headquarters Major Banks was incharge. He also received a few despatches during the day fully confirming the news of the day before. Among the visitors filing in and out of the spa- cious suit of rooms were Augustus Schell, Governor Randolph, Senator Casserly and numbers of others equally distinguished. Mr. A. T. Gallagher was on hand opening and reading the despatches as they | came. The foliowing telegram from Senator Ran- som was conclusive and lett the comfortable im- pression on the minds of all that the back counties: could, Rot under any circumstances change the | result :— Ravarau, N. C., August 2, 1872, The returns are in pretty fully. The State has gone | democratic by as much as ten thousand maiority. | M. W. RANSOM, | The democratic magnates on reading this closed | their doors and retired homeward, feeling for the first time in We years the cheering consciousness that a national victory was within their grasp, and enjoying by anticipation the almost forgotten sensa- Cad controlling by their influence the national ality. ‘. i The following circniar address of congratulation to the people has been issued jointly by Colonel Allen and Mr, Schell.

At the Grant headquarters the usual decorous solemnity prevailed, although the officials were not so thoroughly dismayed as to lose the ever- present serenity of countenance that has hereto- fore distinguished them, Mr. Chandler said they | | | had received no despatches; had, indeed, made no | arrangements to receive any except the last ones, which will contain all the facts and figures of the election, “We have no doubt,’ said Mr. Dudley, “that the State has gone republican by at least a ft al majority, decreased doubtless, but still enough.” A despatch from Secretary Robeson was received to the effect that notwithstanding lying democra: returns the State was surely republican. The Sec- retary does not state where he gets his informa- | tion. Early in the evening the headquarters were closed, Mr. Chandler saying that if the news was was good he would hear it ali in the morning, and if it was bad he would hear it soon enough. MR. GREELEY’S MOVEMENTS. — ST ER The Philosopher Comes Forth from His | Brooklyn Seclusion — Demonstration | Among the People—Interviews at the | Lincoln Club—Congratulations Over | North Carolina. Mr. Greeley came forth from his retirement in Brooklyn yesterday, walked down to Fulton ferry, crossed and rode up in a Bleecker strect car to the Trivune office. On the route he was the object of that enthusiastic demonstration that New yorkers never tire of paying him, It would seem that he ia @ necessity to the New York public, and that whe: they are deprived of him for three or four days | their hunger becomes ravenous. The car was | jammed by people, who freely introduced themselves to him, shook hands with him and interviewed him. He was affable and bland as usual. He wore his black alpaca coat and white pants, and had his | venerable white locks trimmed. { On arriving at the Tribune office the throng of admirers had increased to many hundreds, and by the time he had entered the building and trans- acted the little business he had to transact, which ‘was merely to get his letters, the mass of people blocked up the space about the Franklin statue and were clamorous for @ speech. There are not Many prophets who have so much honor in their own country, among their own homes and even at their own doors, and if ever the honest heart of Horace Greeley is elated with pride it must be at these continually recurring and always hearty ovations given him by those who have known him longest and best. clining to make any speech to the crowd, the ilosopher took @ Fourth avenue car, a way being made for him by the throng, and rode to Twenty- first street, where he debarked and entered the Lincoin Clab, Here he addressed himself at once to the task of answering his letters and recetving Visitors, Am the Nemen who called on him were Samuel J, a. John P. Lindsey, Ethan Allen, Judge Johnson, General R. Brinckerhotf, of | | dally. Qhio; General Corse, of Iiinols; ex-Governor Ran- dolph, Aug. Schell, Simon Stevens and others. Mr. Groeloy expressed at gratification at the news from North Cai nd thought that hia old friend General Wilson, the Vice Presidential candi- date on the Grant ticket, had expressed himself very ably when he said in a recent speech there that if they could not carry North Carolina they were weak indeed. General Corse announced that arrangements had been made for a reunion of Northern and Southern soldiers at the Academy of Music in Epiiagetphia at an early date, when the men who in the line of duty made the bloody chasm will clasp hands across it, He said the Creeley move- ment was deeply ingrained throughout Pennayt- vania, where he has been travelling recently, and he laughed at the idea of Hurtranft carrying that State against Buckalew, ‘They have very little confidence themselves,” said he; “they ask odds when they bet; and they get them too.” Mr. Greeley {ett the ‘club at about four o'clock and took the train to Chappaqua. He will not re- main at his farm to-day to do any woodchopping, however, but will return to the city early this Borping: preparatory to his departure for Khode slau THE CONTEST IN THE WEST. Mr. Stanley Mathews, of Ohio, on the Political Situation—Grant Before Gree- ley=An Elaborate Speech with Meagre Results. CINCINNATT, August 2, 1872. A republican meeting was held at Clifton Hall, Clifton, near this city, this evening. Stanley Mathews was introduced by Judge Johnson, of this city, and made an elaborate speech, in which | he announced his determination to work and vote for Grant and Wilson, He said as the Cincinnati gathering, which nominated Greeley and Brown, was not a representative body, but merely a gathering of individuals, acting for themselves upon their own responsibility, none of its members could be held bound by its decision unless sup- ported by the approval of individual judgment. ‘The success of the Cincinnati gathering depended ‘upon its unselfishness and disinterestedness in the interest of reform; but it fell below its own stand- ard, being filled with ordinary politicians, men who wanted oftices for themselves and their friends, and were determined that ro one should be nomi- nated who would not acknowledge and reward | party servic THR BARGAIN WAS S1 RUCK and the nominations made, the choice being made of men personally unfitted for the stations to which they aspire. The manner and circumstances of their nomination absolve ail from any obligation to su} ort them. He (Mr. Mathews) reviewed at length he political situation, and said that no rational expectation of reform could be founded on the success of the democratic party in the disguise of Greeley <1 Brown, In conclusion Mr. Matthews said:—What the country now needs is rest from fruitless conten- tions, peace from angry controversy, repose from strife, wickedly aroused aad foolishly kept alive; a settled policy {n public affairs, freed from disturb- ance and reversal by the fear of political change; quiet progress in its adopted path; industry and trade left to fuw, unvexed by fuctuations, in the channels to which they are now accustomed ; pri- vate enterprise, inspired to engage in works of public benefit, without apprehension of being ar- rested by NEW POLICIES AND CRUDE EXPERIMENTS. Tt needs at the helm of State a man, if not the embodiment of the genius of statesmanship, who has been tried in different emergen: and not found wanting; steady, consistent, se! tained, not thinking of himseif too highly, ‘ready to be ad: vised, who sees things as they are, and not as his imagination colors and transfigures them; a man filled with the practical sagacity of common sense, not too fertile in impracticable schemes, however good in their intent; a man of deeds and not of words, If any voter can believe that in Horace Greeley he has found such a man, and is willing to trust him with the great trust of THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE, surrounded and induenced by the powerfal oferty zation that did not hesitate, so far as its party influence was exerted, to attempt the overthrow | of the government by violence, and has never since refrained from protesting against every practical measure for re-establishing its authority, let him make his choice, For my part, I prefer ‘To bear the ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of. Mr, Matthews was followed by Hon. Henry Wilson and Governor Noyes. UTES IN WAR PAINT. peta teen eos Two Thousand Savages in the Sulks and Threatening Mormondom. . THE ONLY REMEDY THE SABRE’S EDGE. * Indian Agent Dodge Can No Longer Dodge the Issue—General Morrow Implored to Act—Items of News from Salt Lake and Utah Territory. Saut Lake, August 2, 1872, Two thousand Utes who promised to return to their reservations have halted forty miles from Nephi and refuse to move another step, saying that they can dic now as well as at anytime. Indian Agent Dodge has telegraphed to Washington that his power has been exhausted and asking fhat the affair be turned over to General Morrow, command- ing the Department. A sharp contest is expected. General Morrow awaits orders to enforce peace, | understanding that with the Indians the sabre ts the only resort. The Ute Indians belonging to the White River | agency, Colorado and Uintah agency, Utah, who Jately congregated in the southern section of the Territory, and who started to leave a few days ago, have stopped and declare their intention to remain, and show a de- termined hostility. Indian Agent Dodge tele- graphed to the Secretary of the Interior last night, suggesting that the whole Indian question here be turned over to General Morrow, commanding this district. General Morrow has @ United States force suMcient to settle the dimiculty at once, but thinks a fight can be avoided. The Indians number about two thousand: THE GREAT SCIENTIFIC EXPLORING EXPEDITION.

CADETS GOING WHERE GLORY WAITS THEM Another Interpretation of the Tariff. WASHINGTON, August 2, 1872, Schurz and Tipton Pager for the Fray. Senator Schurz passed through here to-day en route for Indiana, where he is to take an active part in the campaign in that State and watch Sena- tor Wilson, Senator Tipton, who is atill here, awaits newe from his home in Nebraska respecting the health of his daughter, who was reported dan- gerously ill. Should he receive a favorable report he will at once take part in the West Virginia cam- paign. Otherwise he will leave for the West with- out delay, The Pioncer—Rumors of Another Cuban Expedition. The Uuited States revenue cutter Moccasin is still watching the Cuban privateer Pioneer, at New- port, her guns shotted and orders to sink the Pio™ heer should she attempt to escape, These orders withdraw the Moccasin from police duty, and it is rumored here that the Cuban sympathizers, taking advantage of the position of the revenue steamer, have started another expedition to Cuba under the most favorable auspices. The Duty on Cotton Goods, Wool, Iron and Steel. The Treasury Department to-day decided that all articles made of cotton, or which cotton is the chief value, whether designated in previous acts or not, were entitled to entry under the new tariff at the ten per cent reduction, The same rule is to apply likewise to manufactures of wool, iron and steel, except as otherwise provided for by the aot. The Duty on Petroleum Barrels. The act of June 6, 1872, provides for the free entry of petroleum barrels and other packages exported filled with American produce, provided at the time of shipment the declaration is made of an intent to return the same empty, It was decided to-day that this provision should not be held applicable to barrels which were shipped from the United States before the passing of said act, and collectors of cus- toms will be instructed accordingly. Dr. Houard Demands Damages From Spain and Insists Upon His Rights. The protest of Dr. Houard against his compulsory release from his Spanish prison under a royal par- don, and reserving his right to demand indemnity for the wrongs inflicted on him, has been received It is expected that his claim for compensation will come before the Spanish-American claims commission sitting at Washington, unless the dissatisfaction of our government with the ill success of that commission in accomplishing its object shall lead, through dip- lomatic negotiations, to other modes of settling American claims arising in Cuba. So far no pro- gress has been made beyond organizing and regis- tering the claims presented, and though new ar- rangements have lately been agreed upon for taking testimony in Cuba, very litte confidence is felt in their practical success. The American.Mexican Commission a Pretty Kettle of Fish. Secretary Fish is much annoyed at the failure of this one-sided commission, having plumed himself highly when, after many evasions and much delay, he induced the Spanish government to consent to a tribunal for the settlement of American claims upon Spain, only the claims of Spaniards upon the United States being left to their chances in the future. The department is at the same time em- barrassed by the unfortunate rupture between the Members of the United States and Mexican Com- mission, in the course of which both gentlemen have expressed opinions concerning each other that forbid their future oMcial or personal asso- ciation. While the Secretary would not be sorry, perhaps, of an opportunity to replace the American Commissioner, who is accused of having unreason ably prolonged the business of the Commission by repeated and lengthy absence from its duties, he is obliged in this instance to sustain Mr. Wads- worth, as all the evidence tends to fasten the blame upon Sefior Guzman, the Mexican Commis- sioner, who has been restraiued neither by cour- tesy nor propriety in the controversy into which he has plunged the Commission. As soon as com- munication can be opeged with the Mexican gov- ernment a new commissioner will be asked for and | some arrangement made at the same time for hastening the settlement of the pending clams. One fruitful cause of delay is the great number of enormous claims presentea on both sides, which are wholly fictitious or fraudu- Jent. As no dependence can be placed upon the afmirmative testimony, which is brought forward in unlimited profusion, the agents of the respective governments are driven to the slow method of searching for rebutting testimony, which is not easy to be obtamed after the lapse of 80 many years since the dates of the alleged occurrences in most of the cases. It has been ascertained by investigations carried on along the Mexican boun- dary that extensive organizations exist for the fabrication and proof of claims against one or the other government, a single claim sometimes representing a larger value than that of the proper of the whole district from whence it emanates. Cadets Going Where Glory Waits Them, The Secretary of War will to-morrow announce in general ofders the appointment and assignment to the army as second lieutenants of the following named cadets, recently graduated from the Military Academy :—First Cavalry—William H, Miller, vice Bartlett, promoted to Company F; Herbert E.

Dangers of the Brazilian Coast, The United States Consul at Pernambuco, in # letter to the Department of State, collates the disasters to American vessels which have recently occurred in the neighborhood of Goyanna, This 1a a locality on the Brazilian coast, very near to the spot which is the southeastern point of the province of Parahiba, and the northeastern point of the province of Pernambuco, and is by tho most authentic maps indicated to be ap- proximately, it not exactly, the most eastern por- tion of the continont, Serious disasters happened there to four large American ships. That pertion of the coast is considered to be specially danger- ous. The coincident testimony of Captains Bige- low and Carleton as to the inacenrate location of the reef on the charts is noteworthy ; but the cause of the disasters is more likely the very strong current toward the shore, aud the wind there prevalent being unfavorable to vessels beating southward, Treasury Payments in Ja'y.
