The VALLEY OF THE AMAZON. In a recent PAM
phet Lieut. Maury has called attention to this inter.
esting region. The Valley of the Amazon is the
largest In the world. 1t embraces an area of two
millions and forty eight thousand square miles, which
Is than twice the extent of the Valley of the
Mississippi. lis fertility is unparalleled. - The
country which is drained by the sAmazon." says
Lieut.. Maury. :" if reclaimed from the savage, the
wild beast, and the reptile, and reduced to cultivation
now, would be capable Of supporting with its pro-
duce the population of the whole world 1t is
rice country, and yields two harvests OF that vaua-
BILE grain in ten moths. "Corn, too, may be plant
ed any time, and in three months is fit for gath
erDg. Thus the husbandman there may gather four
crops of year. Its seasons are an everlasting
summer, with perpetual round of harvests." 1t is
peculiarly rich in those productions Of the earth
which enter into commerce. Besides its mines OF
gold, silver, and diamonds, its forests abound in the
most beautiful woods and precious herbs, dye
stuffs, gums, and medicines. Sugar, coffee, cotton
tobacco, indigo cocoa, produced with little labor,
1t is land of oranges lemons, pine apples citrons,
figs tamariLds, bananas, and pomegranates. I" In
those great sotudes repele with riches, millions of
the human might dwell in plenty and happiness
where nature annually wastes more than would sup
port the population Of China in comfort, and where
the most luscious fruits and farest flowers grow and
bloom unknown and unnoticed. There is no Inlet
tropical country in the world that is so finely watered
as is this great Amazon country in South America.
The summer is not one drought and the winter one
shower, in some tropical countries but the rains
fall and the shines, just often AMI as long as
they needed. In a word, the Valley of the ANA
zon, place of residence for man, field of en-
terprlze for merchants, is equaed by any other
region on the globe. Trunpikes. railways, steam
boats, poughs, res and the other evidences of Amer.
lean civilization and enterprise are vet curosities TO
this great and fertile Valley.
