Probable Determination of a Practicable Route from Atlantic to Pacific. —_ The Surveyors and Their Pro- posed Plans. ASPINWALL, Jan, 15, 1875, The Pacific Mall Company’s steamer Acapulco arrived ier> yesterday morning and tanded the two expeditions sant out by tie United States government—the one to survey the line from Aspinwall to Panama, to determine its merits as @ route for an inreroceanic canal; tne otner to complete the survey of whut i9 known as the Atrato-Napipi route with the same object in view. The :ormer 13 under the direction of Commander E. P. Lun, United States Navy, and the oMicers selected for the duty are Lieutenants Leutze, Coiby, Very, Tansig, Masters CoMn and Green, Mr. Menocal, Civil Engineer, and Dr. Bransiord, a medical oMcer; while the latter expedivon is in command of Lieutenant Frederick Collins, with whom are associated Lieutenants J.T. Sullivan, J. or drowned, and Richard Pair, a miikman, at Cou- | @. Eaton, S. C. Paine and Dr. Norfleet, It would be idle at this late day to discus’ the importance of these enterprises. Apart from the fact of soiving the problem wich has puzzled the greatest minds tor centuries, they will have tne eifect of settling points tong in dispute, for the more surveys we have the better wiil.we be enabied to arrive at a definite conclusion ag to the most practicable, the shortest and the most economical route for a biguway between the Atlantic and Pacife occans, RESULTS OBTAINED, There is no subject upon which adventurers of Quixotic tendencies nave so tondly enlarged as this; none which has so often stirred the fancy of dreamy speculators, and certuinly none pre- j senting prospects with so many millions in It, But a calm reirospect of the innumerable wild schemes which have from time to time been put torward will readily convince any one interested im the matter that it 1s Only withia a compara- | tvely recent period satisfactory results have been attained. The surveys made under the auspices of the Navy Departinent have, for instance, re- moved doubts as to the practicability of certain supposed routes, which, owing to gross misrepre- sentation on the part of unscrupulous fireside ex- plorers, were presumed to possess advantages that in reality did notexist, Thus, we are gradu- ally reaching a point when theory will no longer be admissible, and when facts and figares will speak for themselves; and when, inceecd, the oniy | element necessary for the commencement of the colossal work will be hard cash. It is not my in- tention just now to offer any comments upon the respective merits of the several canal routes, which have of late been somewhat prominently | mentioned; but it must be evident that the room jor comparision is rapidiy becoming smaller. In- | deed it may be stated with Jairness that at the } present time but THREE SUPPOSED LINES command any attention—namely, that py way of | Nicaragua, the Atrato-Napipi route, and last, and | it 1s to be hoped not least, that from Aspinwall to | | Panama. However prejudiced many may be | against the idea of a tunnel three miies in Jength, | | through which ships would have to pass before de- scending to the Pacific by way locks, none can deny | Commander Selfridge the credit of having done | | more (o unravel the mysteries of Darien than any | previous expiorer. Should his proposed route up to the Acrato River as far as the Napipi and thence | by a deep cut to the base of the divide, through | which ihe tunnel would run, not meet with gen- | eral approval, it is only becauso the impression prevails that the engineering difliculties presented * by other routes are not so great, ‘The fact is that its facilities or obstacies are at present unknown, | and the main object of the expedition sent under | } Lieutenant Collins is to determine accurately | whether or nov a@ feasible route exists in that | locality. Jt will be remembered that the govern- | ment last year sent forth commissioners to ex- amine the relative merits of the Nicaragua and | Atrato-Napipi routes. No difficulty was cxperi- | enced by that body in deciding the claims of the | lormer to general recognition; but when descend- ing the Napipt it was found that the reconnoissance | had been made mainly from the bed of the river, | so that no definite conclnsion could be arrived at as t® the character of the ground through whico | | the deep cut was proposed to be made, | OBJECTS OF THE EXPEDITION, | Itis tosolve tnis problem that tho present ex- pedition has been organized, and whatever may be the result it is sale to assume that the under- taking will be thoroughly accomplished. Even should the oficers entrusted with the task pro- ounce the rouse impracticable @ very important | point will have been determined, Littie doubt 1s at present entertained as to the feasibility of the line by way of Nicaragua, and the only question | | remains 1s whether any cheaper and more expe- ditious one can be found. Nicaragua has its mag- nificent lake, with apparently an uniimited supply of water, and the main objection urged against this proposed route across tne country is the want of harbors at either end—a defect, however, which the requisite expenditare of money would readily overcome, As surveyed by Commander Lulls | partly, as weil as by previous experts, the line was found to be nearly 200 miles in length, | | Perhaps the chief aim of the expedition sent out now to examine this supposed interoceantc reute | between this place and Panama is to determine whether it possesses the boasted claims for which | tts earnest advocates have so long contended, The line by way of the ratlroad from ocean to ocean ts @ trife over forty-seven miles In length, and tt 1s ' argued that the canal roate, embracing par: of the | Chagres River, would be less than forty miles, | THE EXPECTED SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM. Howbeit the vexed question wi!l soon be settlea, and once enued there can be only oue line upon which enterprise can make its mark. It is the | Intention of Commander Lull to commence opera- | | tions in a day or two, Or just 80 soon as the pre- | liminary arrangements nave been completed. | The railroad authorities have tendered him every | facility for the examination of the line, 80 that | wutte delay may be anticipated. In order to ex- pedite the work the survey will be maae from the summit level by two different parties, the one un- der Lieutenant Leutze «proceeding toward the Pacific, and the other, in charge of Lieatenant Colby, toward the Atlantic, Between two and | three months will, it is ¢stimated, be occupied in | compleung the survey, which, It ts hoped, will | finality bring all speculation on the subject to a | gatistactory termination. THE ATRATO-NAPIPI EXPLORERS. The officers selected for the duty of finishing the survey of this route include some of the veterans | to whose persistent efforts the world 1s indebted | for having unfolded the mysteries of a country | the general features of which were previously un- | known even to the government to which it be- | longs. According to the arrangements already | made the United States steamer Canandaigua w: to have been here to comvey the party to the Gulf of Darien an there leave them to the prosecution of their labors. The vessel, however, has uot yet | pot in an appearance, though she ts datly ex- | pected irom New Orleans, Upon her arrival here | the party will repair on board and proceed to the | Darien region, where all necessary stores and | daigua to a steam launch and cutter, ip which tie party will proceed up the Atrato to the mouth of | the Napipi, tn the vicinity of whicn the actual sur- | vey willcommence. To those unacquainted with me CHARACTER OF THR WILDERN! imto which the party is about to plunge, and /rom which they cannot emerge for pertiaps ninety days to come, as the Canandaigua, has orvers not tw return to Darten before Apri) next, this ex- party will be virtually cat off trom civilization until her return, It is their intention to employ the services of a few Indians, Who eke outa poor existence on the banks Of the Napip! and who ara thoronghly familiar wiih al) the tratis leading to Having completed the survey as far Chirt Bay the party will descend 4 Napipi and Atrato rivers in canoes and rejoin the Canandaigua, Which. will convey them to this place prior to their departure for the United States. Whatever may be said of the resnls of the undertaking, cer- tain it ts that Commander Seliridge’s route could not have been entrusted to more willing or more accomplished hands for final solution. This, in brief, is the situation thus tar, 1 need scarcely say that rhe resiaents of borh Panama and Aspin- wall are quite delighted over the prospect of the government survey of the route, which they con- tend bas no rival tn point of distance and tndeea in regare to every other feature necessary for the construction of am imreroceanic canal. To-day Commander Luil and Mr. Meuocal will make a@ preliminary examination of the line in the vicin- ity of the ratiroad track, but the actual survey will not commence before Tues¢ay next. Mean- while the instruments are being putin good grder, and, asthe dry season has get in, everytning augurs well for the success of the expedition, MISCELLANEOUS NOYES. The trip down from New York to this benighted spot, Which some plulosophers assert was the last made at the creation of the world, was not desth tute of those incidents with which similar voyages are gencrally so replete, There was, of course, the usual amount of sea sickness, which never will excite sympathy to the end of: time, and which, indeed, generally gives rise to a feeling of gratification to the unafllicted, inasmuch as bots. terous passengers are thereby restrained from making matters uncomfortable. Reaction, how. ever, 1s sure to follow, and the larder of the steamship company’is bound to suffer. With a great many the temporary loss of appetite seemed to be an exceedingly sore point, and the patient Medical oflicer attached to tue vessel had nis hands full im preparing many passen- gers to appreciate the incessant ringing of the gong for ineals. But matters soon arrived at that stage where the steward declared that to summon the voyagers by means of the musical instrument relerred,.to was @ work of supereroga- tion. Speaking about the trip I am reminded of what appeared to be a general feeling of surprise, to use no harsher word among those on board, at tne very absurd policy of the company in compel- ling the commanders of these vessels to prolong the voyage to nine days, when they can readily accomplish It in less than seven. According to the regulations the company’s ships cannot arrive at their destination before the morning of the ninth day, the result being that both the Acapuico and Colon are obliged to slow down repeatedly on the way. The object doubtless is to save coal, bus the admiral commanding the Pacific Mall navy ought to remember that no purpose 13 served by foolish economy, for the trifle the company might gain in the consumption of coal tt loses in the maintenance of the passengers. The cadet system, by the way, lately introduced into the line, docs not seem to work as smoothly as many had reason to expect. For instance, the batch sent out on the Tokio, en route to China and Japan, ald not think that picxing potatoes was part of @ navigator’s duty, and so, when the ves- sel touched at Aspinwall, they applied to be re- lieved from their seafaring troubles, and Captain Maury, believing that he could find his way through the Straits of Magellan without their aid, aliowead them to anchor here, uniforms and ol. They ree turn to New York by the steamer Colon. It is generally understood that tuis will be Come modore Gray’s last trip, and that on his arrival in New York with the Acapulco he will be assigned to important shore duty by the company. This véteran oflicer has already won sufticient honors at sea, and, it is said that, in red oguition of his long and faithful services as a commander, he will be transferred to a position where his experience, ability and judgment will be brought into active requisition ashore to the same advantage as they have been exercised afloat. Commodore Gray is one of the most popu- lar men in his profession, and his retirement from numerous friends. SUDDEN DEATH OF A NAVAL OFFICER. Master Thomas ©. Spencer, of the United States Navy, attached to the steamer Fortune, died very suddenly here on the 13tn inst. irom apoplexy. The deceased was recently stationed at Panama as the assistant of Projessor Kock, of the Hydro- graphic Ofice, and was assigned to duty here to make astronomical observations, He entered the navy in 1566, and distinguished otmeelf by several | heroic acts, among others the rescuing, on one or two occasions, of brother officers trom drowning. He was highly esteemea by the residents here and bis sudden demise caused general regret. He was buried at Monkey Hull with naval Lonors.
