The Amazon Expeditions.

One of our correspondents in Washington
has sent us q letter which will open the eyes OF
such of our enterprising merchants and Others
in this city, as are looking forward to pecuniary
advantage from the opening of the mammoth
Amazon to American vessels and commerce.
There is an expedition preparing to sail from
this port A company has been formed a
steamer has been purchased, and large nur 4
Der Of our citizens are ready to rush into a
matter which, we think, has not been well CON
sidered.
An expedition to the Amazon is not a new
and untried experiment, as is generally sup
posed A similar project was got up in tb :
city, and carried out nearly thirty years ago.
1t may safely be predicted that the same disas-
trous fate awaits this that betel that, and aris-
ing from precisely the same causes. In the
year 1924, lie Roy, Bayard 4 Co., then the
most famous commercial house in this CITY,
got up an expedition to the Amazon. A great
many other merchants and leading men of that
day took an interest in it and bought stock
paying even high premium for it. The con.
Germ was named the Amazon Steam Navirc:
tion Company. The company purchased

The commander was Captain Clack son-in-
law Of Judge Thompson, of the United States
Suprt me Court. Two very clever supercar-
goes were selected. One was q merchant
named Heflerman, who spoke Spanish fluently
and the other, who was equally fluent in French
was Monsieur Chegary, til husband of the lady
of that name, so famed in this town for instill-
ing knowledge into the craniums OF our fash
ionable daughters. Under such favorable aus
pices was this first Amazon expedition started.
All who embarked in the enterprise expected
to realize an immense fortune. The steamboat
left New York and safely reached Para. in Bra
zil, where she was seized by the authorities.
and detained. Such of the cargo as was pc.
rishable became a total loss, and the remainder
was confscated. After nearly years detention,
the steamer was allowed to return to New FORK.
where she was sold for $4,000. The loss to
the company was about S250,000 A claim was
made out against Brazil, which, after many
years, was allowed by Brazilian commission,
to the extent OF $2l 900, which was not quite

QUACKERY AND ADvERTIsNG--A number of
persons who desire to puff either themselves or
their wares-sometimes quack medicines-are
in the habit of getting up prizes for merit in
the production of these articles. The prizes are
generally books, pictures pitcher, piece Of
plate, or something Of the sort. They then pro-
cure certain persons as committee, who award
them the prize. They afterwards go before the
public and claim the reward Of their merit

The REMAINS OF PULAsKI--As our readers
are aware, there is great controversy going
on in Georgia relative to the remains Of Pulas-
Xxi, which some persons alleged they had disco
vered We give in to-day's paper letter which
settles the question. The letter has been re-
luctantly given to the public by Colonel Lyman,
Of Charleston, S. c., grandson Of the surgeon
who extracted the ball received by Pulaski.
Colonel Lyman has prepared this statement with
some care, and he gives it to the public out of
regard for historical accuracy. We commend
it to the attention Of our readers Everything
relative to the gallant Pulaski is interesting;
but Colonel Lynah's letter is SO well prepared,
read with the highest qualification.

him for the losses of his London factory Why
should the people of the United States be taxed
to ray for Mr.. Colts losses incurred in endea-
voring to perfect the equipments and arma-
ment Of a British army? There may be some
reason for so unusual proceeding-in fact,
there must be reason, or Of course Com
mittee of Congress would not have advanced
the argument. But we confess we cannot see
it. We are ready to advocate the liberal re-
muneration of inventors. We think the people
have done SO already in the case of Mr.. Colt,
by paying him in hard cash one million of
Of at least equal amount But we cannot,
really, undertake to say that if an inventor
squanders the money he receives from his pa
tent we will pay him over again. Much less
can we promise to aid and assist inventors in
fancy schemes of theirs undertaken with view
to improve the condition OF the armies of foreign
nations.
Still. as we said, we Suppose that Mr..
Colts bill will pass. The cabinet organ has
already taken ground in its favor and the
humbugging letter it inserted day or two
since, in order to lead people astray, has de-
ceived no one. We may take it for granted
that the kitchen cabinet has gone over
body and soul to Colt. Then, rs to Congress,
why body that could elect Forney as its Clerk
must be ready for anything. We give else
where list ofthe votes for Forncy so that the
country may know which are the members who
are ready to vote any thing the kitchen desires.
