LIMA, June Is, 1859.
The government OF Peru seems to be In earnest,
both in the matter Of building railroads and attract
ing emigration. Various concessions and privileges
are being granted to these ends One of the desires
of the governments ts to make settlements In what Is
known as the Amazones region district OF country
reputed TO be extremely fertile, and only waiting
for the energy of man TO make it paradise. The
scheme, however. has not met with much success.
from the fact that the Spanish American and the
Indian, brought up under Spanish influences, have
not migratory habits like the Anglo-Sa xon and the
Celtic races. The government lately ordered an ex-
petition to Chaushamsyo. and the chief engineer Of
the family Mr.. Nystro, makes the following Official

A sharp contest is going on with regard to the
best route for the Transandian railway via lorna.
Mr. Nystrom, an eminent engineer declares that
owing to the great decline the lorna route ia not
practicable, and advocates the course Of the river
Manetaro as the better ine holding that the river
pereve is only navlgabe for very small vessels. On
the other Selor Raimondi, backed by an influential
journal, contradicts many Of Mr.. Nystrom's state
inents especially with regard TO the navigation Of
the Perev4. The road running rom Lima TO Huacho-
