now stationed with his command in our harbor,
has large number Of specimens of emeralds,
rubies and sapphires gathered in this locality
with his own hand, and who entertains a similar
opinion with that which is here expressed.
Thus then, We are presented with an extraordi-
nary fact, that in the interior Of our country,
easily accessible by land from the Southern and
bred millions would scarce jostle each other, we
have an Ophir surprising everything We have heard
of in ancient or modern times. The opinions Of
Humboldt, of Ansted, Of Fremont, support this
statement. Is this immense advantage then to
be overlooked? Is it to lie buried in hasty mar
ratives and imperfect surveys? We hope not
and we should be glad to see Congress, instead
of legslating about petty personal difficulties
fostering the schemes of logrollers and joining
the race for Offices, directing its attention to a
practical development of the great resources of
the country We have several times alluded to
the necessity of accurate surveys and maps for
the direction of our statesmen. A blunder in
the then current map of the day, cost us some
hundreds of thousands of dollars in rectifying its
incorrect Technology of the Gadsden purchase.
We know what misunderstanding we had with
Russia in settling our line on the Pacific; we
know that the Conference Of Paris is as much as
anything for the purpose of rectifying an error
of boundary in an imperfect map, and we per-
ceive at this moment before us, a new map of
Africa, just published in this city, which actually
leaves out all the late explorations, and even the
discoveries laid down on older maps
Let us then have, as soon as possible, full infor
nation as to the yet unexplored part of our own
country. And if there is too much old fogyism
and nepotsm in the way in the appropriate de-
partment, the merchants of New York should
undertake the exploration in their own generous
way. One of their body has distinguished him
self in Arctic researches; another who has left his
name imperishably behind him, planted the Anne
rican flag at his own cost on the shores of the
Pacific let others initiate their example, and
send out an expedition to these rich mountains
full of silver and gold and precious stones Let
us know more of those vast agricultural basins,
fitted to sustain population of millions, and
furnish the world with cereals and animal food
America, says late lecturer has produced but
one prophet, and that was 10 Smith; but we
think there were numbers Of our early statesmen
and poets who comprehended and predicted the
coming greatness of our country, when they pro-
claimed her 90 the Queen of the world and the
