PERU. Whe Railway from Callao to the Head aters of The Amazon. Lima, Nov, 27, 1872, Keferring tq the material advancement of this Republic, M. Pardo satisfied himself afew days eince aa to the rapidity with which the Andes are being conquered by genius and energy. The great failway leading from Cailao through the chain of the Cordilleras to tie Peruvian head waters of the mighty Amazon, now being constructed by Mr, Henry Meiggs, was made the subject of his personal {nspection, Passing through the rich valley of the Rimac, the river upon which Lima ts built, the President and tus party arrived at the terminus of the works,some eighty-three kilometres from Callao, at a point called Verrugas, where the toad, in order to span one of those appalling-! gorges which are so frequent in the mountain | ranges of Peru, crosses a viaduct, which called into play the utmost resources of engineering skull. This structure 1s buiit of iron, constructed in the United States, and measuring 575 feet from end to end, It is supported by three piers, the highest 252 feet above the foundation of masonry. The viaduct {3 1,800 metres above the level of the sea, in the very heart of the Andes, In order to reach this remarkable point the line winds, ascends and re- turns again to its initial starting place at the base of the chain, over an extended expanse of granite Mountain, in one instance, to gain a few feet of elevation, making a retreat, so to call it, of nearly @ mile and a hall, M. Pardo, his Cabinet, the majority of the mem- bers of Congress and the diplomatic corps resident | tm Lima viewed this wonderful achievement of sci- | ence over the rugged obstacles offered by nature with admiration and surprise. The President, who bas traveiled much abroad, and to whose efforts, made years ago, the country is now indebted for a means of trafic and communication through a rich And virgin territory, expressed his satisfaction at the result attained by Mr. Meiggs in his arduous andertaking. He spoke in the most inspiring man- ner regarding the benefits to be derived by Peru from these arteries, which place the capital and enterprise of the coast in direct contact with the riches and resources of the interior, and signified again his often-declared determination to farther the work of internal improvement so ener- getically initiated by his unfortunate predecessor With all the power at his disposal. Tho Senators and Representatives who accompanied -M. Pardo echoed his sentiments, and Mr. John G. Meiggs, who acted as host on the occasion, offered, asa it of the earnestness of his brother and himselt the enterprise, the already accomplished facts. -. NATIONAL PROGRESS IN GENERAL, aon all quarters of Peru the reports are most gratifying regarding the progress of the many rail- ways now being constructed. The line from Are- quipa to Puno, and that from an intermediate point between those two cities to the ancient capital of the Incas, Cuzco, will both be completed within a com ara Ten snare space of time. Inthe north the Huaraz aod Chimbote, the Pa- eaxmayo and Guadalupe, the Salaverry and Tru- filio, and the Huacho and Sayan railroads are rapidly approaching completion. Within five years Peru will be the 1ortunate possessor of more than Seven hundred miles of troned way, and her mar- vel'ous wealth, hitnerto cabined ‘and confined by the impossibility of transportation, will cause her to speedily assume her just and merited position among nations, CHE RELATIONS TOWARDS. GrAIN— SYMPATHY FOR That never-ending question of peace or armis- tice with s Ppa ain is again being energetically dis- cussed by the press and the people. Seme weeks since & grand celebration took place at Santiago, in Chile, on the anniversary of the declaration of Cuban Independeuce, and some of the speakers On the occasion, men tae reg the government and the Legislature, declared that Chile could never accept the terms of the ar val of Washing- ton until the bombardment of Valparaiso was atoned for and while Cuba was struggling for her place in the family of republics. This declaration ‘was all the more important since by the treaty in tae arranged by the government of “the mited States between the governments of Spain and those of Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador, oc- curs @ clause to the effect that Cuba shall not be assisted with men or material of war during her attempts for freedom by these republics, unless faving previously obtainea the sanction of the ‘government of the United States, That is to say, that the armistice entered into by ‘the aforesaid nations should not be broken without ® notice of such intention, to be conveyed by the government of the United States to the interested party, with two years’ anticipation. AG of Ueland! would tie the hands of the South American nblics (stgning the Convention with regard to Shy rtunate Cuba. Peru, however, has not ratified the instrument in question, and in all probability will allow the time specified for the ratifications to em He without taking action in the premises. So hat Mr, Fish’s well-intentioned etforts will prove pense and the same paper war, which has existed between Spain and her quondam colonies in the Pacific since 1864, will continue ad infinitum. To Peru this ts of small importance; the commerce -between the two countries is insignificant, and the hatred held towards Spain throws all commercial interest in the shade. THE WAR FEELING TOWARDS JAPAN. The unfortunate matter of the coolle ship Maria oe recently detained in the harbor of Yokohama the Japanese authorities, ts stilla thornin the Wis of Peru. Here one word may be said respect- Ing this semi-slave system. From the very fact ‘that the Peruvian laws allow this trafic itis sup- rec generally that popular jah 1s favorably inclined towards it, and that the sufferings of the coolies are regarded with unconcern by the com- munity at large. Quite the contrary, If Peru could be directed to some other certain means for procuring the necessary labor for her vast estates and factories that means woull be readily and pladly Ceres The Chinese imported to eru are, of course, of advantage to the farmers and planters, and a source of profit to those who bring them to this coast; but their habits, character and instincts are by no means beneficial to the country. The diilerent projects of immigration, already alluded to in my etre despatches and now ing matured by ne government, may effect a radical change iu the ibd now followed, and no Peruvian agricul- -turist would for a moment hesitate between cn- fas ing an intelligent, honest and hardworking immigrant and contracting for the services of a class of men naturally treacherous, revengeful and discontented with their lot, In the meantime the tron-clad Ht Indepen- dencia ts r Sens being made ready for her voyage “Ee China ae on Japan. Gaptain Garcia, her commander, is accredited to the oo of Jeddo and Pekin as the Plenipoten- His instructions are to endeavor to ‘provare THE CHINKSE GOVERNMENT a consent to. to a ereaty by which the Northern ae of China may be opened to emigration and in re- pa the he present system of the cvolie traffic will be &n arrangement guaranteeing the good Srontnent of the coolies and their return to China at the Mg bh of their contract time, the ex- ‘penses of their return voyage tobe pald by their vemployers. ith Japan UM QUESTION I8 MORE SERIOUS. The action of the authorities at Yokohama and ‘the findi of the Japanese mere are regarded “as Without precedent in t! tory oferrors. The ‘assumption of ee cror and the consequent ‘Uberation of a nomber of Chinese, who had signed their contracts according to the’ prescribed laws, and the extraordinary treatm nt of w vessel seek- Ang shelter and assistance caused a profound sen- sation in Peru, Captain Garcia will demand ex- plicit explanations and indemnification from the government of the Mikado. That hostile measures will be resorted to 19 not considered probable, but the President has directed the Peruvian man-of- Independencia.

It 1s currently reported that General Agramonte has marched into Las Villas at the head of 1,200 men, Onicial communications have been received here from Camaguey, Las Tunas, Bayamo, Guantanamo and other places, which speak of the great head- way the revolution is making, and of the deereas- ing numbers of the Spaniards, A reaction in our favor has lately taken place at Guisa, and seventy men, who had been well armed by the Spaniards, came over to oar side. A conspiracy also broke out among the Spanish volunteers, headed by Captain Diego Jacinto Fon- seca, who preposed to come over with his men to and the patriots, but it was discovered, and sev- eral men were shot, In the meantime the Governor of Bayamo, hear- Ing of the disaffection, came on with reinforce- ments and disarmed the rematning volunteers, in whose fidelity he had lost confidence, A few days after this had transpired a body of our guerillas entered into Guisa, having heard that many of the men who had joined the conspiracy were in prison. After making a simulated attack and creating an alarm in the town, many of the prisoners were en- abled to escape during the confusion, and enlisted in our ranks.

There has been nothing definitely settled in the Matter between the Loochooans and Formosans, Most probably China will be consulted before any- thing 1s done. On the 24th ult, the three Loochoo Commissioners had an audience of the Mikado. They were told that their case is under the con- sideration of the government, and that Japan will amply avenge them, But they must have a. ttle patience. They were then presented with $30,000—new paper money—for their local. govern. ment, and $200 in coin for each of themselves, be- sides pieces of cloth. The Prince of the Islands was also presented, through the Ambassadors, with sundry pleces of cloth, velvet and some hunt- ing spears, TRADE MARKS AND TROUBLE. Twenty-seven Japanese merchants who trade in silk worm eggs are under arrest in Jeddo for fraud. They had some 30,000 cards stamped lor “white an- Duals," the most expensive egg, and placed there- on “Bivoltini” eggs, the cheapest, Two Japanese -oMicials have also been arrested, charged with being privy to the fraud, Itis feared that several thou- sand of these fraudulently stamped cards have al- ready been sold and exported, INDUSTRY “AND ART, Japan isto be well represented in the Vienna Exposition of 1873, Commissioners who were ap- pointed a year ago have been busy collecting sam- ples of vegetable and mineral productions and arti- cles of native manufacture, Arisagawa-No-Mlaya, the uncle of the Mikado, now in Europe, is to be the Chief Commissioner representing Japan in Vienna.

A Japanese paper published in Jedde informs us that Japan ts to be blessed with an elective Parlia- ment. -Next month there are to be 600 members eleoted. What particular powers they are to pos- segs and for what térm they are to be elected we are not informed. A nominal Parliament has been in existence ever since the advent of the Imperial Court to Jeddo, But this body, as far as could be ascertained, had no legislative power, nor was its members selected by any particular rule. At any Tate it has had no influence upon affairs of State, An elective Parliament in Japan would be a grand experiment. AMERICAN TURFMEN ON THE SOD, The fall meeting of the Yokohama Race Club was held on the 39th and 31st of October and the Ist of November. The meeting was well attended, but the racing was exceedingly tame. Tie American community was represented by one stable only, that of the United States Consul. He was lucky enough tocarry off two prizes on the last day— namely, the Solace Cup, value $100, for all beaten ponies of the meeting, ana the Members’ Cup, Yalue $50, Owners up. SOCIAL PROGRESS, A few days ago the Japanese in the native town of Yokohama were made happy by the sight of gag burning for the first time. “ihe gas company ts purely a Japanese one, and the mains are laid in the native portion of the town only, They will, however, eventually be extended to the foreign settlement. | SLAVERY OF BODY AND SOUL. ‘The Japanese government has recently instituted @ vast social reform, one that cannot but elevate them in the opinion of all foreign nations. Hitherto the “social evil’ has existed in Japan in rank luxuriousness, and perhaps it was the only country in the world where it was not only protected but actually iostered by the government. In all large cities a certain portion of the town was set aside for this purpose, called the Yoshiwarra. The people who kept the houses were absolute masters of the bodies of the poor inmates, who had been pur- chased when very young, for termsot years varying from one year to the term of « natural life. These poor gitls were absolute slaves, They were not illowed to leave the precincts of the section of the tewn, and were liable to be beaten, starved or otherwise maltreated at the will of their owners, The latter were protected by the government in return for a per capita tax, which was levied monthly, and a more disgusting condition of slavery never existed anywhere. When the Japanese government evinced sucha laudable amount of sympathy for the Chinese cooiles on the Maria Luz, the counsel for the cap- tain of the ship very, forcibly drew the attention of the Japanese omicials to the terrible nuisance that existed under their very noses, It has evidently produced an effect. A RECENT EDICT annuis all contracts of the kind that have been made, and declares all in future null and void. The wretched inmates of the brothels were brought to the municipal office and informed that they were at liberty to go if they so desired. aoe to say, but few of them avaiied themselves of t rivi- lege. It would appear that so many years of their degrading servitude had destroyed all their seif- respect, and consequently many of them eleeted to bi a but, of course, the masters will at least be bliged to treat them decently. I understand that government 1s considering a@ plan by which this universal evil shall be thoroughly controlied in Ja- pan to prevent disease and the spread of immo- rality. PUBLIC EDUCATION. From a circular recently issued by the Education Department Isee that the whole system of education in Japan is to be remodelled. Tie whole of the Em. ire 1 to be divided into eight grand school di: ricts, in each of which is to be one university, four first class academics or high schools, twenty-six grammar schools and a large number of common schools. In the universities and high schools pupils are to pay $750 per annum for education, in the lower schools $5. I'rom the universities thirty students are to be selected annually to be sent abroad to pursue professional siudies, and will re- ceive $1,800 per year trom the government, From the middie schools 150 will be sent abroad annually and receive $1,000 per annum for their support from the government—another 150 will receive scholarships and wiil be assigned to tutorships in the different schools, In the common schools for- eign languages will not be taught; but the students of the higher schools can elect to study any three jJoreign languages they deem fit. PROFESSOR G. D. NORTARUP, now State Superintendent of Public Schools tn Con- necticut, has been selected to fill the post of Super- intendent of Public Iustruction here, It isan im- par office, and his selection is highly flattering to himself, and is quite a compiiment to the Ameri- em of education, ’ UT 7 SIXTH AVENUE, BETWEEN WASHINGTON ‘and Waverley places.—Ladies and gentiemen wil be astonished at the prices given for Cast-of Clothing, eteand Jewelry.
