by the waters OF melting SHOWS, Of rains, of
glaciers, and q thousand sinking rivers aud
lakes, which, amongst broken up and angular
rocks, are on their way TO the ocean level.
Through the vast and heated vaults under
meath the Andes, l contemplate a similar
river, running from the thirtieth degree OF
south latitude to the north, and carrying
their oveilowing waters also to the Caribbean
Sea.
"The Antilles, now partially sunk in the
ocean, are but chain of mountain tops
which, six thousand years ago. stood up in
their grandeur, part (and, probably, the
elory) OF the Andes; and at that date the two
mighty submontsgDe rivers, meeting and
debouchipg together into the ocean, east or
north Of the Antilles, combined with extraor-
dinsry volcanic Influences, undermined the
Antilles chain, which went down into the
cstaclysm well established in Indian traditions,
which / have gathered both in North and
South America, and also by unimpeachabls
records on the rocks themselves--by shapes
and grooves left in the giant walls at Caracas
and Santa Martha, on the coast Of Venezuela,
where this mighty chain was broken; records
which have twice seen, which may be read
by all ages to come, and which are not myths
or fables.
"In this tremendous catastrophe, probably
the most stupendOus that ever took place on
the surface OF the globe, the peninsula of Yu-
catsn, with its splendid Aztec cities, sank,
and since has partially riseny leaving the two
grand sunken estuaries, the Gulf of
n, xico and the Caribbean Sea, into which the
two subterranean rivers, from the constant
overflow Of their vast csterns under the
mountains, now spread their clear and blue
waters, heated by the volcanic furnaces they
have passed. BY the Joint influx of these
rivers into tue Caribbean Sea, its western
surface is elevated several feet above the level
of he ocean; and pouring into the Gulf of
Mexico, sweeping its western coast, and taking
in its way the waters of Rio del Norte and the
Mississippi, this vast flood debouches with
them into the Atlantic, at the Florida Cape,
and there becomes the Gulf Stream, until
now one Of the mooted puzzles of the world.

The GettYsburg Lottery.

Says a Harrisburg special telegram Of yester-
day.
The celebrated Gettysburg lottery affair was
finally disposed of to-day, before Judge Pearson.
1t will be recollected that the Legislature
having, in 1867 incorporated the Gettysburg
Soldiers Orphan Asylum, with power to engage
IN a lottery scheme, the Attorney-General,
deeming the act unconstitutional, had quo
lCGTTdntO issued to arrest the proceedings and
stop The lottery, after the scheme had been pub
lished and tickets offered for sale. The bonus
to be paid the Commonwealth was fixed in the
act Of Incorporation at $4,000.
ner:-One MIR. Smith, in New York, gave his
check 10 Messrs r. France, p. a. Edgerton, and
Samuel Diehl, of Philadelphia, for the amount,
who indoIsed it, TO Horatio &: Sickel, as Trea-
surer of the Gettysburg Asylum CORPORATION,
who In turn presented ii to State Treasurer
Kemble, who refused to receive the same, acting
under the advice of Attorney-General Bre Wster,
who deemed the charter OF the corporation
unconstitutional. Che writ of quo acdrran'0
was pever argued, and in 1868 the
charter of the Asylum was repealed; but
In the meantime several suits were brought
against HoTatio Sickel, one of which was sue

cuRIous LETTER PROM GEORGE CArLII

CURIOUS LETTER FROM GEORGE CATLIN.
Irdbner'S Record contains the following
letter from Mr.. Catlin:-
"Mr. Catlin, the American ethnographist,
whose extensive travels have led him through
the widest and rudest scenery OF America
has turned his attention for several years
past from the Indians to rocks, and has made
in these studies voyages to South America,
to the Rocky Mountains, the Andes, and the
Antilles, the results of which he is preparing
to publish in work entitled The Lifted and
Subsided Rocks of America, with their Iufu-
ences on the Oceanic, Atmospheric, and Land
Currents And one of the striking features
of this book seems to be, to quote his own
words, the discovery of a river under the
Rocky Mountains many times larger than the
Mississippi, its course nearly twice the Misss-
sippi's lepgth, and gliding through the clean
and vast rocky cellars Of the upheaved noun
tains without the losses by alluvial aosorp-
tiops and solar evapOrations which diminish
valley rivers, it takes along in its course the
| sinking streams and lakes of the mountains of
Mexico and with them, perhaps by hundred
mouths in its deep bed, debouches unseen into
| the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.
