MOVEMENTS OF THE TEHuANTEPEc SURVEY ON
THE IsTHMUs.-A letter from Manittan dated
Feb. l7th, and published in the New Orleans Del
ia, says:-
The head quarters Of Major Barnard are in FL
Bario. Early in last month, Major Barnard and
Mr.. Williams, in company with Mr.. Obusser,
made reconnaissance of the country in the vicn-
ty of Ell Baro. Knowing that there was table
land in the neighborhood of Chivela, some 10
miles from Ell Bario, they were determined to
make the first tour of inspection in that direction
The result was highly gratifying to Mr.. Will
discouraged at the prospect. Mr.. w illiams, who
is an energetic, as well as a scientific man, enter
tains doubt Of the feasibility Of the cons,ruc-
ton of the road through this pass of the noun
tains. The pass is called Nashua, is at the ele-
vaton of only (700) seven hundred feet above the
level of the sea, its general direction being about
north and south, and is about 10 feet in length
There two ranges of bills running across this
pass, which cannot be avoided, consequently they
will have to be tunnelled. The whole amount Of
tunneing will probably be about one mile This
is the main obstacle to be overcome; those on
either side can be avoided by tangents and curves
There are FIVE bays on this coast which will
have to be surveyed, ere suitable harbor can be
determined on, and very much doubt if one can
be found that will be available without the con-
structon of breakwaters. They are all very much
exposed at two or three points Of the compass and
as near as | can understand, do not afford good
holding ground The following are the points to
which | allude: commencing the south, we
have Boca Barrio; proceeding north, we next have
the Bay Of Ventosa, Salina Cruz, Sana Grande,
and Santa Cruz. The survey of these having
been completed, | think that the labors of the
photographic party on the Pacific will have
ended This will occupy the time until the lst of
April, when returning to this side they will com
plete the survey of the river from Manititian to
the mouth; then take the soundings on the bar,
and roceeding westward to the mouth of the Bar
rlla, some twelve miles distant, will take an nc
curate survey of the.coast. Here their entire du-
ties will have ceased, and the party with the
whole of their Investigations worked up, will be
ready. to proceed to the United States by the lst
of May.

For when with the passion vine lovely,

The length Of the grave had measured,

Since that weary nighttime Of i'll,
But my heart still is veied with shadow =
