IgG's MISSION. have some very interest
ing intelligence this morning from the northern
neck of South America and some very impor-
tant facts and speculations in reference to the
mysterious mission Of Caleb Gushing. He had
arrived at Aspinwall December IA and had
Immediately departed thence in the United
States steamer Yantic, en- r0ute to Bogota, no
doubt as special commissioner to negotiate for
the right Of way for ship canal across the
Isthmus of Darien, or by the Atrato river
route, perhaps, some distance below. At
all events, this projected isthmus ship
canal under the occupation and control Of
the United States may be considered as the
special object of Mr.. Cushings mission, and
it is a Napoleonic idea, involving one Of the
grandest enterprises Of the nineteenth cen
tury. Nor unless the scheme shall involve
too much money, cash down. to meet the sup
port OF Congress, do we apprehend any serious
difficulty to its consummation. We wish Mr..
Gushing complete success.
