TEE HEAD WATERS OF THE AMAZoN.-An English
traveller, Mr.. W. CHANDLEss, gives IN account Of
his exploration of the Purus River, one Of the af
fuents Of the Amazon, which is published by the
London Times, as follows:
he was melted to the exploration of the stream
by the Importance attached to it by the people Of
Southern Peru and Brazil, as well US by European
geographers who supposed it would form an un-
interrupted water communication between the
rich provinces of Southern Peru and tho Atlantic,
pia the Amazons All previous attempts to ascend
had been frustrated not by difficulties in it's navi-
CATION, but by lack OF perseverance and enterprise.
. In 1864 MIR. Chandless engaged small native
canoe and crew of Indians, and ascclded the
river nearly to it's sources, distance OF 1866 miles,
finding q good depth of water and no obstacles to
navigation for the greater part OF the way. It is
neopled only ny few tribes of Indians each spoak-
inc o distinct language. The banks are 'ormed OF
oli11yiaI soil and are covered throughout with
dense forest rich in India rubber trees sld other
vegetable products Of commercial value: The
tied districts of Southern Peru, as had beon sup
posed Tho Indians met with near the sources
had never had communication with white men or
civilized tribes and were ignorant of the use OF
iron.
In 1865, Mr. Chandloss undertook second jour
nov, With O view of ascending the Aquiry, the
most important southern afluent of the Purus,
which be thought might possibly be tile nayigable
river known as the Nladre de Dios, flowing from the
Andes, east of Cusco He ascended this streaH,
also nearly to it's source, finding it TO terminate,
like the main river, in tho midst Of trackloss-
forests. He then attempted to cross by land, md
hcwed way through the forest for nine days. but
was obliged finally to abandon the attempt Both
during both Journeys, and Dir. Chandless was SO
determined to lose no opportunity Of fixing his
position by astronomical observation that on one
occasion, when surprised by the rising Of the
wator flooding the sand-banks, the only places OH
which lo could find tract OF opon ground, ho yet
could master in order to beat the stream and
reach IL place where tho banks were yet uncovered.
