The Mammoth Pine grove Of California.

The Mammoth Pine Grove Of California.
The San Francisco correspondents Of The New
York Eueatag Post gives the following account Of
this wonderful example Of the forest growth:
The mammoth Pine Grove" (which We took
on cur return route is st the South fork Of the
Mercod. We found them not only up Che VAIL y
but up the mountain also. We rode along FOR i've
miles hardly knowing What to look for our
directions and expecting to ind something at every
turn WeslW many trees Of ten and fifteen feet in
diameter, and, though a. any Other time We should
have gazed in wonder at that We had got our ideas
up and that was enough. But as we we're wander
ing along, suddenly right in the nj st OF al the 9th
er trees, appeared most enormous something
what We did not think for a minute for though it
was a tree, it entirely different from ali cur
notions Of trees, that it was for moment unintslh-
gible. Bot when we came nearer. and getting q
clearer aud fuller view Of It's whole, obtained an
idea Of its form, then he wonder Of is size could
be seen and felt. Ny companion walked his mule
around i, and 1t took him mRHts, less thirteen sec
onas -!
We soon came upon another, an old dead trunk
lying along The ground and partially burned out
Into it three could easily ride abreast tive could 20
nearly through and one could pass out the farth
er end. Bus II the bark were cleared off the wood
or if it we're more fully burned cut, four or i've
could ride through with ease. We cav others even
larger and stand ng; one, the largest was thirty
six feet diameter, and one hundred and eight
feet in circumference These trees are Of the red-
wood Species kiud Of pine which is common in
California though only three or feur Of these NAM
moth groves have besl discovered az yet They RroR
in among the more ordinary sized pines which, all
being 6ns trees serve 70 show the immensely Of the
redEOods- Most Of them are from two hundred 10
three hundred feet in height there are some nearly

which thirtyrthree feet in diameter, they have

THE ATRATO ROUTE.

T. he EJio- q The ". y. Tribune.
Sir: In your issue Of the 29th appeared al article
in relation to Lieut.. Michlers report Of the Atrato Ell
nedtop. cont aiming many important inaccuracies that
tetd 10 the prejudice of the route practicable one
for an In.eroceanic Ship Canal. These errors (uuin-
territorial Of course take the liberty OF pointing ont 70
YOU in simple u,tce to those connected with the project
After reviewing the report OF Lieut. Micher the article
first states that the length of the Tuando route $50
miles, This il Just 100 miles out Of the way, as will be
se.p by referring TO Mr.. William kennshs report OF
the survey made BY him in the year 1855, and, as will
be teen BY a careful examination of the very report
the article upon, the distance cannot
be over $50 miles, The authority OF the writer o. the
article 10, presume the Aspnwal correspondent OF
The Herald, who 10 his letter by the Moses iayor,
made tina. mistake.
The ne II Life tatement that occurs is that Mr. j. e.
Trsutwine Of Philadelphia made TN examination OF
this route the year 1852, and then pronounced an
upfavorabe opinion upon 1t.
In regard TO this statement, SIMPLY necessary 10
say that Mr. Trsutwine never crossed over the iru-
sndo route. and, 40 far a: am aware, never maze
pretense to having done In the year referred 70,
however Mr.. Tiautwine made an examination OF the
upper waters of the River Atrsto, and crossed the
Cordileras through the Raspadura pass-.he one
pointed out by Baron Humboldt as the most practicable
route for ship canal In Mr.. Trautwne's report OF
his surveys, published 10 the same year. he pronoun:es
the latter route mpractcabe. II is doubtless 70 this
that the article refers The first tune that ever the
TruaL do Pass crossed from ocean TO ocean, was
the year 1854 by Mr.. William Kennish, Civil Engneer
whose maps and sections the first ever published
Of that route.
The present Atrsto expedition was sent ont by our
Government to verify Mr.. Kennishs survey; and it
has just concluded its task. Lieut.. Michlers report
is merely forerunner Of the statistical result OF the
expedition and treats only of the directions and dis
tances of the routen which respects he differs but
very little from Mr.. Kennisb.
In conclusion, beg esv. 70 suggest that 1t viii not
opinion Of the availability of this route for an Inter-
Gee anic Ship Canal when it that he has
not yet had time to reduce bis feld-notes to any
tangible form before which would be impossible TO
arrive at any conclusion, will be apparent to every
engineer. w.
