DISCOVERY OF A NEW COUNTRY.

DISCOVERY OF A NEW COUNTRY.
We copy the following items of Intelligence
from South America from the Panama Echo Of
the 2lst of February:
We loarn from Capt. Thomas, who arrived in
the Nueva Granada, that the day before the stea-
mer sailed, an express arrived overland from the
American exploring expeditions on the Amazon,
that the explorers had reached point on the
river, in NEARLY direct line, some three hundred
miles distant, but by the cireuitous route which
the express compelled to take, was about
three hundred and seventy FIVE miles Distant
There they had found magnificent and most
productive country, with resources beyond pre-
vious conception. Cotton sheeting stood at Soc
per yard; coffee and indigo at &c. and all other
products at prsportionate prices, cutlery. especi-
ally, being very high. The imports are fully
equal in their rates to the exports.
1t seems by the statements of Capt. H. and
others, that the Yankee steamer will secure the
bonus of $4,000 offered by the government to
the first steam vessel navigating the waters of the
Amazon into Bolivia, aud also the entry of her
entire cargo, duty free.

founded, they deem it inadvisabe at present to
express any opinion upon the important questions
involved; but as the subject is one which deeply
and vitality affects the rights and interests 70
every citizen OF Virginia, they recommend that
the attorney general of the state, together with
such other counsel as the executive may think
