Selfridge, Unitea States Navy, who bas recently made a very successful survey of the Atmagon River and whois one of the ablost officers im the navy, is spending a fow days in this city with bis family preparatory to his going to Europe in tommand of the United States steamer Enterprise, whieh vessel, it will be remembered, he used on the pervey, He was waited upon to-day at his Dosey. cottage on Catherine streot by a cor- respondent of tho Huratp, for the pur- pose of gaining some additional information pertatoing to his important mission to Brazil, which bad not deen given in tne HxRaup’s correspondence frow' Brazil, Captain Seifridge is looking remarkably woll alter bis visit, and he evidently enjoyed the trip, As soon as the correspondent made knewn his busi- Bess he kindly consented to give him an idea of the important work whieh had beeo accomplishe though he could scarcely spare ‘the time, as he is under orders to take command of his vessel Novem- ber 1, and in the meantime he has his report to pre- Pe in order to transmit to the Secretary of tho Navy, as mentioned in the Sunday Henao, The ap- pearance of Wis library indieated that he bad his hands full, for no end of manusoript could be secn @pon every hand, Believing that a tew facts pertaining to the way in whion the survey was prosecuted would be read with Interest, your correspondent gathered the following in regard to the matier from Captain Selfridge, and they are substantially as recited by that gentieman, The Captain commenced by saying that tise usual way of entering the Amazon River by ull classes of yossols was by way of the Para Rivor, and not through the mouth of the river preper, The city of Para is situated on an estuary of the sea ofthat name, which by many geographers is spoken of as one of the mouths of the Amazon, but, properly speakiog, this is not sv, because the Para River is connected with the great Amszon by a_ series ‘of intricate lagoons or canals up which tho tide flow: and down which but little of the waters of the mighty Amazon find their way. These chanocls, however, aro tne avenues through which tho trade of the Ama- gon is now carriod to and tro from th: ‘a via Para, and therefore it was here that the survoy of the en- terpriae commenced. THE “RUNNING SURVRY."’ The survey was what is known aga runnipg survey im distinowen to what 1s known as the triangalated aurvey, a system adopted on a survey of a large scale, or those wh the surveys are liable to suoual han, Hor instance, a very correct map can bo mado for a large river by a running survey where & would take many years to trianguiate the game, and during this period so many natural changes would be Iiavie to take place that the tri- epgufation, though correst ia theory, uid not at pletion represent the true condition of the @ running survey, which Id require pot more than one-filth of the time, ‘The'xreat necessity of sacha survey, continued Cap- tain Selfridge, was the correct measurement of the speed of the I, corrected for all errors of tide or @urrept and the distance made during the day, cor Feoted by an accurate determination of tho vessels Position. The notes of the recent survey of the En- Yerprise were kept in a book resembling the vook Page the course, distance, speed of the strecgih of the current and depth of water wore noted, while 6b the opposite side a straight line was drawn from the centre of the page representing the course of tne vessel, The paralle! lines had a constant valde, witch Was adopted at the beginning of the survey, Hepon- dent Bpon the spocd of the vessel.
