RECENT EXPLORATIONS IN AFRICA.

The present is emphs.i.ally the age of dis
coveIy. At no period since the days of Colum-
bus and Cortez has the thirst for exploration
been more s,tiye and universal than now. One
by ore TIE outposts Of barbsrism are
siorued and c.rried advanced parallels are
Il rown up, and the the beseigiig lines of knowl-
edge, which, wh,n once established, can never
be Ietaken, are gradually closing around the yet
uncopqnered mysteries of the globe Modern
exploration is intelligent and its results are
therefore positive aud permanent. The trav.
eltr no longer wsnders bewildered in cloud
of fables, prepared to see marvels aud bnt too
reafy to create them; he tests every st-p OF
his way by the sure light of science, and bis piO-
neeI tlaii become plais and easy path to those
who follow. The pencil, the compass, the ba.
rometsr, and the sextant accompany him; ge-
oIosy, botany AID ethnology are bis aids aud
BY these heips and appliances, his single brain
achieves results now which it would once have
required an armed force to win.
Within the last twenty-five years all the princi-
pal features of the geography Of our own vast in
terror regions have been accurately determined;
versed in various directions, from BOkhara and the
Oxus TO the Chinese Wall; the half known river
system of South America have been explored and
surve! ed; the icy continent around the Southern
Pole has been discovered; the Northwestern
Passage, the ignusfatuus of nearly two centuries,
is at last found the Dead Sea is stripped of its
fabulous terrOrs, the course Of the Niger is no
longer NY tn, and the sublime secret of the Nile
is almost wrested from his keeping. The Noun
tains of the Moon. sought for through two thou
sand years, have been beheld by 4 Caucasian eye;
an English steamer has assembled the Chadda to
the frontiers of the great Kingdom of Bornou;
Leichardt and Sturt have penetrated the wilder
ness Of Australia; the Russians have descended
from Irkoutsk to the mouth of the AMOR the
antiquated walls of chinese prejudice have been

PasSsiORE WILLIAMSON.

A gentleman of this City lately wrote to Pass
MORE WILLIAMSON, inquiring as to the truth OF
certain rumors respecting new efforts for his liber
alton The following is the answer, which has
been furnished for publication by its recipient
"No 70, PHILADELPHIA COUNTY Prison,
Sept 90, 1855.

During the progress of this memorable affair we
have repeatedly had occasion to draw attention to
the contrast between the position of Mr. Williamson
and that of the man who so long he is remembered
will be infamous as his oppressor No unparalleled
person can doubt that the outraged man who sits
there in prison, suffering calmly and without weak
ness this bitter wrong is far more to be enved than
the unjust and wicked Judge who flung him into
prison, and who in turn must bear forever the brand
public loathing, indignation, and contempt. Mr.
Wilismsons letter renders this contrast even more
palpable. The spirit it breathes is an honor to
human nature. Such dignity. such manly resolution
such uDbroken serenity and persistence, would lend
new uster to the names of famous heroes We
need never despair of State which has so noble

The Albany Register, whose publisher 10 an En-
olishmsn and whose Editor was once an active
Abolitionist. Is now the State organ OF flindoo
Americanism and particularly good at unfolding
the Fugitive Slave Law and saving the Union gen
erally. Half its columns are given up to attacks
on "Fusion" and the idea of Wigs voting for
Abiiah Mann and Preston King mixed up with
which we find clarifying account OF the Know
Nothing Convention in Ulster County, closing as
follows:
"Itsves us pleasure TO state that oil the dellbera

were harmonious. The Convention seemef 10 hare

- Can it be possible that the People do not I'M
derstand these gentlemen They " fused year
500, ignoring ell the issues which they declare
so important, and supporting just such politicians
as they now declare utterly unworthy of Wings
vote. scroggs and Sanders, on their State Ticket,
never had been, never pretended to be, aught but
Democrats until they Numbered blindly into
Know. Nothing lodges. They did not profess to
have there received any new light except upon
Natvism and Popery And yet they were sup
ported by the same exWhg journals and poll
ticians that now proclaim their adherence Of
Fusion" and Of the support of Democrats by
Wings! Have these experimenters on public Gre

DR.. Overweg. Dr. Edward VOgel, an assistant Of
Mr.. Hind, the astronomer volunteered his ser
vices. which were accepted, and he was also per-
mitted TO take two volunteers from the corps Of
ssppers and miners. This new party left Tripoli
on the 25th of June, 1853, accompanied by Mr.
Warrington. son of the English Consul at that
place. They reached Mourzuk on the 9Th of Au
gust, and were obliged to remain there until the
18th Of October, when they started for Buoraon
with A caravan Of 20 camels. The march across
the Sahara was very rapid and fortuna e, and in
December they arrived safely at Kuka. The next
news which reached England, and which immedi-
ately followed tie account of the murder Of Dr.
Barth, was the death of Mr.. Warrington and the
DANGEROUS illness of DR.. Yogel. The Expedition
seemed 10 be fated, in every way.
After some months of painful unce 'tainty, came
the joyful intelligence that DR.. Barth was still
alive and bad left Timbuctoo, after stay of nearly
year. The report Of bis death had been Invented
by the yzier of BOrnou, who coveted the supplies
belonging to the Expedition, and who would no
doubt have taken measures TO have the story con-
frmed for the sake of securing the plumber, had
be not been deposed in consequence of political
revolution in BornOu. What happened to Dr.
Barth during his stay in TImbuctOo has not yet
been made known, but it is said that he owed his
safety to the friendship Of the powerful sultan OF
