THE NICARAGUA RouTE.-The ~ Y. Herald
gives some interesting particulars Of the pro-
ceedings of Capt. Vanderbilt, of the Nicaragua
Canal Company, relative to the new route to
California, across the territory Of Nicaragua
All the preliminary arrangements for the con.
struction ofla ship canal have been made. The
surveyors and engineers have been very busy
Up TO this time they have fixed upon routes for
a ship canal between the Lake Of Nicaragua
and the Pacific ocean, and also a road for pas
sengers and freight from the extremity of that
laketo tile Bav of San Juan on the Pacific.
After examining in thorough manner the
whole of that country, the engineers at length
selected a point on Rio Lagas, which empties
into the Lake Of Nicaragua, at the Atlantic side
terminus of the ship canal, and on certain
point on the Rio Grande, which empties into
the Pacific ocean, for the terminus on that side.
The Rio Grande terminates at the harbor of Ba-
rito The whole distance from one terminus TO
the other is but nineteen miles. The summit
of the highest ground on the route above the
surface Of the lake, is but gorty-e;ght feet; and
for a distance oil seven miles aud halt from
the lake, the ground runs down to level with
the water. II is not certain, however, thai this
win be the route that wiIlullmaleIy be chosen,
as better one may getbe discovered, 30
In regard 10 the transit route, the land portion
Of it will commence at Virgin Bav, on Lake
Nicaragua, and end at San Juan harbor. on the
Pacific, the distance between the two points be-
ing about twelve miles, almost ia straight line.
and through a remarkably healthy country. The
whole route will be as Tollows: from New York
to San Juan by steamship. thence 10 the CastlIi.
an rapids on the San Juan river by steamboat
from this point to lhe river above these rapids,
distance Of one hundred yards or so. by land;
thence by The river San Juan and tile Lake os
