Tho Location OF the New Source or the
Nile.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LONDON TINES.
Having during the last few days met with many per-
sons who have said that they unable to form clear
conception OF the relations of tho two vast equatorial
African akes-the Victoria of Spoke and the Albert Of
Baker-to each other and to the Nile venture offer
the following brief explanation
Let the inquirer consult the map contained in Speke's
book and he will al glance how the discovery Of
Baker has substantially confirmed the views OF his dis
tinguished precursor.
Speko places the Luta Nzige (now the Alber) on his
map great sheet Of water OF which he had heard
and into which the Nile, from the point where he
obliged quit IT, descended by rapids and then reissued
a little to the north to flow TO GondokOro. So strongly
did he believe from the description Of the natives, that
such would be found to be the that no melted his
friend Baker to endoavor to ascertain the facts
Now every essential point the researches Of Baker
have confirmed the accuracy Of the views OF Spoke as
regards Luta Nzige; for the Nile, leaving its first
great and lofty reservoir the Victoria at height Of
TAO feet above the sea, Is found to descend 1,670
feet deep rock basin Of the Luta Nzge Albert
Nyanza. which is placed by Baker at the elevation OF
2,O70 feet. Thence the stream flows downwards and
norhwards TO Gondokoro from which place to Khartun
where it Is joined by tho Blue Abyssinan Nile it be-
comes, Is now well known, q perfectly navgablc
stream.
The representations Of ancient geographers
old maps Of issuing from two separate and
unconnected lakes these streams uniting further north
know that whether in the form Of lake or river the
White Nile consists OF one continuous system the waters
of which descend in the first instance from higher into
lower lake. and thence into tho main stream, which in
it's course to Gondokoro and Khartum is fed by many
other aniuents In short, the water system by which
the main analogous to the connection between
the North American lakes and tho issue of their waters

The demand for money from business men continues

UNION OF MEruoD1srs.-The Indication

UNION OF METHoD1sTs.-The indications
are apparent that on the return of peace
will come a reunion, of all Methodists in
the country. Previous to the breaking
out of the war there were nearly two
millions of communicates in the Method
list Church, which was only divided on
the question of slavery. This evil abol,
ished, the hope is indulged that all
the Methodists in the country will be

year. Already movement has been in
augurated to this end in Tennessee, Rev.
W. A. Critchlow, of Muefreesboro, hav-
ing published an address upon the sub
ject, acknowledging the hand of God il
using the rebellion to sweep away the
pretext for the division of the Church
and the dissolution of the Union, and de.
claring it proper, that with the restora
ton of the authority of the Government
over the reVolted States, efforts should
be made to reunite the church.

The Senate bill which provides " Free
Schools" for the city of Wheeling, was
passed by the Senate on Friday, with the
amendment that it should be submitted to
vote of the citizens. Itnow appears 'tha
on Saturday morning the Senate reconsid.
cred the question, and rejected this most
important amendment. '.E". -
This was done, it seems, upon the rep
resentation oftwo or three citizens, (who
have been figuring rather extensively in
favor of the bill, that if submitted to the
decision of the voters Of the city it. s56uld
be defeated by the Catholic Vote.a.H Now the
men who made this representation,
are men of sufficient sagacity to know that
they were making use of the iveriest sub
terfuge, in order to impose upon the cred
ulity of the Senators, aud thus prevent the
people of the city from giving expression
to their wishes upon this important ques-
tion,of a change in our School Law. - All
who know the feeling Of our Catholic pop
ulation with regard to public schools, must,
with a moments reflection, be satisfied that
the Catholics would not be likely 10 vote
at all upon this question OF change in our
school law; and most assuredly would they
not vote against the proposed change,
since in 80 doing they would virtually vote
in favor of tho present law, to which they
are known to be most decidedly and Bit
terlY opposed. 1t may be pretty concluu
sively shown that if the Catholic vote
would be given at all upon the question 1t
would be in favor of, rather than against
the proposed new law. But it is quite
clear, that, even If allowed SO to do, Cath
olics will vote neither pro nor con upon
this question. 1t would be decided by the
Protestant vote alone. Without desiring
to be personal, the assertion is here made,
that the very parties who have employed
this subtertuge in order to defeat the
amendment, have most vehemently oppo.
sed the submission of the question to a
vote of the people, not upon the ground
that the proposed law would be defeated
by the Catholic vote, but upon the avoWed
position that the majority Of voters arc too

From Charleston.

NEw YoRK, Feb. 27.-The steamship
Memphis, which left Charleston Bar on the
2lst, reports that the national flag was
flying over the city and all the forts in the
hsrbor. General Gillmore's headquarters
were established in the city. The forts,
which remain in q good condition, are OF
a most formidable character. Two hun
dred pieces of artillery, spiked, but other
wise puinjured, fell into the hands of the
national forces. About 5000 bales OF
cotton were burned by the rebels before
they left, but it is believed that large
quantities of it, and also of tobacco, are
concealed in the houses. Just before the
national troops entered the city the rebel
rear guard were busy in plundering and
firing the houses. Few but the poor in.
hsbitants remained in the city after its
abandonment, the wealthy leaving before
or with the rebel army. The new block
ade runner steamship Deer, with cargo
of liquors, was captured in the harboI on
the night of the 18th, while running up
towards. the city, heE officers being entirely
