I ABE OF THE AMAZON. Lit Navry

some very elaborate and earnest efforts
20 attract public attention in the United
states the vast commercial resources
Of the valley of the Amazon, and the
great benefits Of fcpening the naviga ion
Of that river to the trade Of the country
1t. Herndon, who is row at Washing.
ton, has lately visited tho river, and
gives glowing account Of its capacity
and thu productiycncsS OF tho valley.
He sailed up the river 1000 miles, and
the water up to the falls is thirty feet
deep. and within short distance Of the
alls it is one hundred and fifty feet.
He has brought som samples of cotton.
of remarkable texture and beauty. su-
perior, it is said, to Sea Island cotton
samples have been distributed am nc
members of Congress who are cotton
planters, and they think it superior to
amy they have ever seen. The Wash
in5ton correspondence Of the Charleston
Courier suggests that the government
would do well to send some few of the
young officers, who are on shore wait
ing orders" but drawing pay on an cx-
ploring expedition up the river Amazon
and report up7n the productions of the
valley. Perhaps this cotton could be
successfully introduced in the culture

Van Alstein went towards him, and

not be discovered who fired first. V.

Ano'her FrtghyM 4ccident-- Steam
boat Collision on Lake Eric---25(
Ices iosf.--- Erie, Pa. August 20tl
1892. Information has this momen
been received of the occurren las
night, or rather thi, morning, of tn,
most dreadful catastrophe that eve
occurred on the Lakes. a.
| From the facts that have come tc
hand we learn that the steamer Allan
tic came in collision with the propel
Ter Ogdcnsburg, at two o'clock thi,
morning, and sunk in about half ar
hour, causing dreadful sacrifice o
human life. As soon as the collision
took place it was evident TO all thai
the steamer was in a sinking condition
and efforts were Immediately made by
the captain and officers to get as many
passengers as possible on board the
Ogdensburg. il was with the greatest
difficulty, however, that anything could
be done, in consequence of the con-
sternation which prevailed among the
passengers, who by this time had
reached the deck. Men, women and
children, to the number of five hum
d ed, d,Iushed on deck with nothing but
their night clothes on, to ascertain the
Cause Of the shock, and as soon as the
facts were ascertained, and when they
saw that the steamer was actually
sinking, scene took place of the mosi
narrowing kind. Husbands cried
aloud for thier wives, wives for their
husbands, and children ran hitler and
thithcr in the widest excitement, cal
ling for their parents. All efforts OF
the officers to preserve anything like
order were in vain. In the meantime
measures for rcscuing the passengers
were prosecuted rs we'll as possible
under the circumstances, and two hum
dred and fifty Of them were safely
transferred to the Cgdensburg.
In about half an hour after the COL
lision took place The Atlantic settled
and sunk, takingdoNn with her an i'm
mense mass of human beings.
By this dreadful calamity two hun
dred and fifty human beings---men, wo.
men and children---were d,owned
the remaining two hundred and fifty
reached here short time since in the
Og lensburg, which sustained so much
damage by the collision as to cause her
TO leak badly.
1t is said that dense fog prevailed
at the time of the collision, and that
neither vessel saw the other until il
was 100 late to avoid the catastrophe.
Captain Petley, Commander of the
Atlantic was saved, but sustained a
great deal ofinjury from bruises. The
first mate was al % saved.
AS soon as in ormation of the col
lision was received, the steamer Clay
ton fired up and proceeded to the scene
of the disaster, with the hope of saw
ing more of the passengers, as it was
supposed that many were floating or
chairs, tables and benches.
