THE lsrHMUs ROUTE.
BROOKLYN, January %, 1919.


In your yesterdays account of the voyage of the
Crescent City to Chagres, &c.,-and in the letter
following, dated Panama January 7th,-I noticed
one or two points of information which appear to
me incorrect, or at least subject to difference OF
opinion among those who have crossed the 18th.
mus OF Daren.
You say at appears that emigrants to Califor-
MIA suffer very much on the route from Chagres to
Panama" The writer Of this went out himself
in the "Crescent City"-crossed to Panama by one
road, from (GOrgona,) and returned by the other,
Ito Cruces,) and, Of course, "canoed" up and
down the Chagres river land belie'ln faithfully
that he and his party experienced at least as hard
a time In passing from Gorgona to Panama, as any
could have, must still say he saw or heard Of
no case of " SCATTERING" that Is not surpassed by
twenty mile ride In the spring upon any OF our
Western prairies, or even upon roads nearer home.
AT this season the road is muddy and bad, Qt Is
bad enough at best,) but there Is no danger what
ever, and little nerve on the part Of the rider,
with quiet trust to the sagacity OF his mule or
hoise, and the guidance OF his peon, will enable
HIM TO cross the dreaded Isthmus in perfect safety;
at least over the land travel part OF the route. 1t
certainly is not as easy travelling by railroad
to Railway; but on my word, sir, taking the novel;
~ and excitement OF the thing into consideration,
II IS quite agreeable.
Your Panama correspondent may prefer the
Cape Horn route, and he is entitled to his opinion;
but when leave for California, shall most as
suredly cross the Isthmus.
The canoeing up Chagres river, which your cor
respondent appears to dread much, we found
quite an agreeable variety in the mode OF travelling;
and the novelty gave 1t a Test which rendered It
really enjoyable, although we did "sleep two
nights in our canoe" and in some respects were
rather packed in heads and points
II strikes me from the tenor OF his letter, that he
rs rather disposed to look upon matters in the re-
verse oil cotfstr de rose.
Please understand me as throwing no imputation
whatever upon the perfect honesty OF your cor
respondents opinion; ! merely differ with him,
and think him wrong in some points.
As TO the cost OF canoes, instead OF paying $50 a
man, most, IT not all OF the Crescent Guys
passengrs, by little management and clubbing to-
gether, obtained their canoes tor up river at the
rate OF about $40 per man.
The charge Of $l2 fer mule, which your cor
respondent speaks of, Is not an exerbitant one In

EnIIGRANTS OVER THE ISTHMUS,
&c &c &c.
The PROoRESS

We have received some additional intelligence
OF Interest from Panama and Chagres, by the
steamship Crescent City.
The latest accounts from Panama are of the
morning of the Sth, and from Chagres of the af-
temoon of the 9th inst.
There were three schooners at Panama an
nounced for San Francisco. They would leave
between the 9Th and goth inst, with passengers
The Humboldt, coalship, was also there's but would
not 60 to California. The bark Philadelphia was
not there, previously reported, but was daily ex
pected. She will probably be chartered to take
passengers to the gold region, and one or two yes
sells from the South were u touch at Panama, on
their way North.
There had been five deaths In all, viz
Mr.. Luckett, Of New Orleans;
Capt Elliott Of the QuArtermaster's Department;
Mr. Birch, Of New Orleans;
Mr. Geo W. Taylor, OF Providence Ri
Mr.. Thorne, Of New York.
The latter gentleman died IN Panama, on the
morning Of the Sth inst. He is a son of Mr.. Tho
mas W. Theme, President of the National Fire
Insurance Company, of this city.
We learn that party of englne ers New Grana-
dams, were met on the road, between Chagres
and Panama, preparing to clear the road and i'm
prove II for travel.
The OIus was expected at Chagres in a few
days. She, it will be recollected, is to ply on the
Chagres, and will run up fifteen or twenty miles,
This will dispense with the use of the canoes

J. G. BENNETT, Esq
Dear Sir-Enclosed, beg leave to hand you
report, up to the Sth inst of the whereabout of the
passengers Of the steamer Crescent City, on her
late trip to Chagres.
The publication of the list will doubtless afford
a very desirable item OF information to many of
vkcnv rhnr oil onkf Tho tnfrv and
will by means detract from the high reputation
of your paper for the early furnishing of valuable
news.
The report, believe, embraces the names OF all
the passengers out by the Crescent City, from
those who had arrived in Panama previous to my
leaving that place, to those who yet remained at
Cruces and Gorgona, at the head Of Chagres River,
awaiting conveyance to Panama.

GOLD MINES IN VIRGINIA.-A large amount of
machinery for the working of the gold mines of
Major Hess and Commodore Stockton, in Viz
gina, has recently passed through from Phlladel-
phia. once Fulton's patent direct-acton steam
pumps has also been built and forwarded to the
mines by him, from this city. II is calcalated to
raise ton OF water two hundred feet from the bot
tom OF the shaft per minute and so simple is the
plan, that, to perform this labor it will require but

piece of machinery, and has been constructed OF

The above is not the only evidence we have
that our former partner, in taking himself to Vir
ginia and leaving us here. has get he best OF the
bargain. We met a friend day or two since,
who told US he had seen a certificate from the
Mot, of nine thousand dollars worth Of gold de-
posted the result OF five or SIX days work, with
about as many hands, at the Whitehall mine In
Virginia, OF Messrs. Heiss, Stockton, NC. Six
negroes, we learn from another entirely reliable
source, had obtained thirty-five pounds OF gold
