THE LAST AFRICAN BIDDLE SOLVED, {¥rom the Liverpool (England) Morcury.} The news which has been received from Mr. Henry M, Stanley—who, after bis famous visit to Livingstone, was sent out at the joint exponso of the New Yor HERALD and the London Daily Telegraph to wake cer- tan explorations in Africa--will be réad with mingled feelings on both sides of the Atlantic, By geograph- crs Mr, Stantey’s statements, while necepted with gen- erosity to begiu with, will, no doubt, be subjected to the same kind of criticism as those of previous tray- eliers. For the preseat it must be pled upon bis ow! idence that he has periormed a splendid feat and achieved a great success, Crossinz Africa from eust to west, through dangera and diMculties which no other traveller appears to have experienced, he has been able to hold on tenaciously to the river Lualaba Tight up to the point where it forms part of and joins the Congo, It hos long been conjectured that the Fivers were one. Livingstone’s explorations went to cuntirm the theory, while the later explorauions of Lieutenant Cameron carried the discoveries of Living- stove some distance iuriher on, Both, however, wore compelled to abandon their work Ly reason of the didleulties of carrying it on. Mr. Stanley, on the other hand, tells us that, following the ity source, not far from the head wate besi, he travelled dow. tt past Nyangw Inystone came toa stop, and or 80 miles further on, where Cai and then pushed forward rigtt o the Congo, and so hasteved on through a aories of great cataracts and a broad stream choked with islands till he came out by way of Lower Guinea, straight ito the Atiantic, ‘The net resuit of bis discoveries 1s that the Congo and the Lualaba are one groat river, 1,490 miles in length, broken here and there by islands, eOxtaracts and dangerous rapids, but ug surely one and the same Stream from source (oO mouth axis the Thames. It is too early a8 yet to spoculate upon cither the commer- cial or the political eflecis of this discovery. Granting that no mistake bas been mase t will no doubt be important; but im the meantime so unexpected an addition to geographical tacts, tking a contirmas Lon of conjecture and so remarkable an upset bo the ories Jormed by recent travellers, have au tie terest for the scientific world which it i8 difficult to meusure, A CURIOUS FAC For ourselves we do uv: proless to approach the question from the eoneaphicn, point of view, Nevers theless, we muy state tbat we have lying before us as We write the great atlas prepared in the sixteenth cen- Vury at the expense of (he Jesuits and under (he super- vision of Abrabum Ortelius, in which, among sume Seventy other maps, we Und one of Alrica and unotwer of the laud of Presterjoun, or the Empire of Abyssinia, in both of which, curiously enough, but more clearly in the Alrican wap, we fiud the river Congo represented from it@ source to its mouth justas Mr, Stanley de- serives it. Not ig 80, but we tnd the Great Nie by Speke and Grant, jaker and Camerou, anticipated by the Old geographers of Ortelius, There the great lakes, the Aibert and Victoria Niyauza, fed irom the Mountains Moon, and themselves fyeding the Nilo, which is mapped out in @ con- tinuous course, with inany tributaries not now known, right away through Egypt to the Mediter- ranean. How these old geographers obtained their facts We are not told; but from tue Jesuit stations, which are dotted all over the maps in little churot-like buildings, colored ia Vermilion, we should judge that they were supplied by resideut missiouaries; and we are rather coulirmed im this opiuion by the circum- stance that whenever these stations ure not 1oun is very largely the case in Russia, there are blu which are iilied up with faucilul pictures of tribes liv. jug iu tents, bears, elephants, of other phenomena supposed to Le characteristic of the unknown ovun- try. That the map: curate 18 pretty clear, trom the fact that, ulter lying bidden uway in museuins for over tb: hundred years, they are cuntirmed by mod- ern discoverers, Tiis being 40, It ie strong evidence 1p Mr, Stanley’s tavor when we nd that a particular purt of the river which ne cluma to huve expiored, called tho Zaire, bears that identical mame in the old atlas. Mia ARMY. It is not, bowever, with the scientific aspects of Mr, Stanley's account of his Journey tuat we propose to deal at the preseat moment, There is 4 moral side of (he question Which calis for some romark. His jour- bal isan almost continuous record of Ogbting with batives. How many men he engaged to start with does not appear. At Nyangwe, we learn, 140 deserted him and bis companions, and we are not told that any Finally we leara that he arrivea a ‘115 souls in a fear- ful condiuon.”’ He would seow, tuereforo, to have had with tin quite a little army, considering, of course, the nature of the country Ubrough which he Was pasat aud jb would further appear that tbs little army wus very well fitted out with weapons of oflonce. Culike Lieutenant Cam- eron, Who made u foot journey with @ tew budy and other servants, Mr, Stauley, according to his own uc- count, Was the chief of @ mounted expedition of con- siuerabie uumbers, prepared to fight tueir way throu.! the unknown terrwory.

[From the Philadelphia Public Ledger, Sept. 21.) Stanley African explorations set on foot by the New Youk Hxnatp and London Telegraph is typicully American as well as characteristic of the man, His predesessors bad shown a large and admiravle degree of courage, patience, endurance and fortitude under very discour- aging conditions; it remamed for him to display all those qualities in that still higher degree that refused to be set back by avy dilfculty bow great, aby obstacle however insurmountable it might look to other eyes, or any danger however threatening or appalling it might be.
