THE AMAZON.
RETURN OF THE UNIVERSITY EXPLORING
PARTY a $50
From the New YORK Herald.

From the New York Herald.
The scientific world was thrown into
quite flutter yesterday, by the arrival of
the Brazilian mail steamer Merrlmac,
which arrived in New York on Wednes-
day night, with Prof. Frederick G. Hartt
and party, who have been on an explor-
ing expedition up through the valley of
tho Amazon. The vessel now lies at the
pier at Harheck's stores, Brooklyn. She
lad on board a number of boxes contain
ing a large collection of geological speci-
mems, fossil fishes and mollusks This
collection is designed for Cornell Univer-
sity, whittier it was sent yesterday IN
charge Of Mr. w. A. Wilmot, ore OF the
gentlemen composing the exploring
party.
The details of the expedition. as mar
rated by the explorers, are very interest
ing and important, as they tend to dis
prove Professor Agassiz's South Ameri-
can glacial theory The party left this
city in June last and have been about
six months. Arriving at st. Carlos, in
the mouth of the Amazon River, they
embarked on board steamer for Obydos,
to which point vessels ply regularly. A
small vessel was here chartered, and they
proceeded further vest up the great
river, occasionally diverging from their
course to explore, he Xinga, Trapajoz,
Tocantins, Pacaxa, Garupatuba, ronbeas
Canoma, and other tributaries of the
Amazon. sge la E
at many points on the tributaries navi-
cation was extremely difficult, and small
boats had to be used, Vegetation is re
maykably luxuriant, and some of the
rivers flow for miles beneath a pefect
tunnel or arch formed by the branches Of
the trees meeting overhead. The branch
es are intetwined with vines so thickly
that it is impossible to see the sky
through them. Frequently it is so dark
at midday in this tunnel that torches are
necessary to enable the explorers to make
their way. Monstrous reptiles invest
these jungles.
Professor Hartt and his. companions
encountered no little danger and hard
ship, but what they saw and the impor
tant knowle lge which they gained amply
repaid them for their trouble. Discover
les made bv Professor Hartt's party, it is
said, tend, in a great measure to dispute
Professor Agassiz's theory. Professor
Hartt's party are Of the opinion that the
'scratc hes supposed TO have been made
by glaciers ages ago are owing to entirely
different causes. 1t is said that Professor
Harris geological specimens and fossail
mollusks and fishes comprise the largest
collection of the kind ever brought at one
time from Brazil.

THE CROPS.
MONTHLY REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE.

MONTHLY REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.
The monthly report of the Department
of Agriculture, in treating of the con-
dition of the crops srys:
Corn-The estimates of the corn pro
duct for the past few years have rarely
indicated very near approach to full
crop. From preliminary calculation
upon local returns from 749 counties, the
total product of the year is made to ex
coed 1,10000O,000 bushels. This would
give about twenty-eight bushels an acre
this year, upon the assumed average of
39,000,000 acres against twenty-three
and half bushels upon little more
chan 100000 acres last year.
Sorghum--The returns indicate larger
product of sorghum than last year.
Tobacco-The tobacco crop is compare
lively large, and the estimate of the year
will aggregate at least 300,000,000 pounds
Hay-The hay crop is less in quantity
than that of 1869 by about Is per cent /;
the estimate, however, will GO above 90
100000 tons, which is little more than
the product of 1859 The quality is so
superior as nearly to make good the loss
in quantity.
Potatoes production of the year
in potatoes is little more than four ffths
of the preceding year, and the aggregate
estimate will not vary much from the
tota number of bushels in 1S59-111, 000,-
600, which will afford to each inbabitant
four fifths of the supply of that year.
Sweet Potatoes-The sweet potato
crop has been large one, showing more
than average yield.
Buckwheat-The buckwheat crop is
somewhat smaller than the proceeding
one, the loss being in the New England
and Middle States.
Peas and beans-Full crops of peas
and beans are reported, the former being
larger in the South and the latter in the
North.
Flax-the flax crop will average rather
better than last year.
Fruits-The present has been a
fruitful year for orchards and vineyards
in he Eastern, Middle, and Western
States, but less productive in the South
in California and in Oregon as to apples
and pears. Cranberries do not promise 8
full supply.
q accounts or 1ull.SCWH WueaL anu rye are
generally favorable. The condition O.
wheat at this date is somewhat above al
average.
RRpA1RING BARNs.-A spare day car
be proftably spent in repairing stables
and barns. Much feed is wasted every
winter by having barns and stables SC
open that every chilling blast of wind
reaches the animals sheltered. Young
stock, especially, are very sensitive to
cold, and they must be sheltered, or
their growth will be retarded. Aside
from this, farm with snug neat out
buildings, looks better and adds to the
value Of the farm. If you have no barn,
fix good, warm sheds, that the stock may
have some shelter Remember that the
merciful man Is merciful to his beast, y
and there is no animal but what will re-
pay any kindness or attention bestowed
upon it-KGnsGs Farmer.

THE New Orleans newspapers have a
first-class sensation in the shape of an al
legged conspiracy" to rob the old settlers
and property holders of their property. 1t
appears that most Of the real estate in that
city and the State is held under grants and
titles from the old French and Spanish gov
ernments. These titles, under the old sur
veys, it is asserted, have been held as good,
without confirmation by the United States,
for a century or more but under some re-
cent act of Congress the idea has been
started that in all cases where these titles
have not been confirmed by the United
States, or where the surveys cannot be
found in the Land Office, the property is pub
lie land, which must be turned over to the
United States, subject to entry under the
homestead law. To carry out this view, a
register and receiver of public lands have
been appointed by the United States gov
eminent, who are proceeding to investigate
titles with great activity. When no survey
can be found, public notice is given, and if
the occupant fails to exhibit confirmed
title patent is issued subjecting it to entry
under the homestead act. 1t is said that
the entire town of Carrolton has been re-
ported as subject to entry in the same
manner, and the papers are dcnouncing the
whole proceedings as Outrageous attempts
to despoil the honest proprietors Of the
State" f ta ~

Mr.. Proctor, in an article in st. Paal's
Magazine, SAYS: During the past two years
the planet Jupiter has presented an extra
ordinary appearance. The great equatorial
belt, which is usually white, has been some
times ruddy, sometimes orange, then cop
perry, ocreish. greenish yellow, and in fact
has passed through number of hues,
mostly tnts of red and yellow, but has at
no time, so far as observation has shown,
exhibited what may be called its normal
tint. Then, again, this belt, and the two
belts on either side of it, have changed very
rapidly in form. Great dark projections have
been flung q speak always Of appearanccs)
into the great equatorial belt, Which has
thus seemed, at times, to be divided into a
number of ovals. The whole aspect of the
planet has suggested the idea that mighty
processes are at work, tending to modify,
in a most remarkable manner, the condi-
ton of the planets atmospheric envelope.
Now, it is certainly remarkable circuln-
stance, that at the very time when Jupiter
has thus been disturbed, the solar atmos-
pheric envelope has also been subject to an
exceptional degree of disturbance. AS
most of my readers know, the face of the
sun has been marked by many spots du-
ring the last twenty or thirty months some
of these spots have been of enormous mag
nitude, even so large as to be clearly visi-
BILE TO the naked eye, and the spots have
been of such nature, so long lasting and
so variable i'll figure as to imply the action
of long-continued processes of disturbance
acting with extraordinary violence.
1t may seem at first that the very cir
cumstances of the case should prevent us
from tracing any connection whatever be-
tween the solar disturbances and that which
seems to be taking place in the atmospheric
envelope of Jupiter. Two orbs separated,
as the sun and Jupiter are, by an interval
Of about four hundred and fifty million of
miles, cannot be simultaneously affected, it
would seem, by any disturbing forces. Nay,
more--it seems so reasonable to infer that
both in the case of Jupiter and the sun, the
forces at work to produce change lie far be-
meath the atmospheric envelope Of either
planet, SO that the idea appears at once dis
posed Of thatthese forces can operate sinful
taneously, except by mere coincidence.

A Noble Request.


We understand that the late Bucking-
ham Smith, Esq, of St. Augustine, be-
queathed his entire property in trust for the
benefit of the colored people of st. Angus
tine. a
DR.. 0. Bronson who is constituted by
his will the Trustee, proposes to dispose OF
Mr.. Smiths handsome estate in that city
valued at 1000 and to apply the pro-
cceds with other property to the establish
lnent of a hospital for the colored people OF
an asylum for the aged and orphans. 1t is
said that Mr.. Smith left about thirty-fve
or forty thousand dollars, an inheritance
which the needy colored people of st. Au-
gustine win long value with appreciative
gratitude and the benefits OF which they
will be likely to receive for many years to
come.
We believe that this is the first instance
in the South of an act of this character.
Mr.. Smith was Georgian by birth but a
firm and unwaycring Union man through
out the rebellion and this munficent dona-
ton 50 unselfishly bestowed, proves that
buckingham Smith, who in the hour of
peril remained true to his country in the
recent days of social prescription, had the
courage to defy its bitterest prejudices. In
behalf of the colored people we give all
honor to the memory of one of the best of
their friends. 1JachsOncille (F2a.) Union.

TERRIBLE DIS isTERs AT SEA.



The steamship Moses Taylor, from Homo
lulu and Australia, arrived at San Fran
cisco, November ). She reports having
boarded the water-lodged brig Shelchot,
from San Francisco to Callao, and found all
dead except the captain, who was saved,
though hardly breathing. lie also reports
terrible disaster to the Arctic whaling
fleet; caught in the ice thirty-three vessels
were crushed and abandoned. The cap
tans of the whalers Arctic, Gayhead, Min
erva, Eliza Swift, Reindeer, Eugenia and
Pacia, who had arrived at Honolulu, fur
nished the following details of the loss of
the whaling fleet:
The vessels commenced arriving, says
Captain Thatadius, on the LIST OF May.
The LIST of June the ice opened and let the
fleet up within sight of Cape Nayarino, the
fleet working northwards. Found some
whales crossing the sea of Anadyer, and in
Behring sea more and plenty, but expe-
rienced much trouble from the ice, and
when the fleet arrived at Cape Behring and
Flower Bay, the whales had passed through
into the Arctic ocean, whittier the fleet
followed, meeting with fair success until
about the 1st of September, when the ice
tloes and bergs to great extent commenced
drifting down, and by the 10th number of
vessels had been sunk, and the bulk of the
remainder hemnled in by the drifting ice, or
driven ashore. On September the brig
Comet sunk. On the 9TH the Roman was
drifted bodily out to sea by two foes and
crushed like an egg-shell. The crew mar
rowly escaped. The Florida and Victoria,
of San Francisco, were also crushed. b
September 10, the captains of the fleet
hemmed in between Point Belcher and
Wainwright Inlet held meeting, and re-
solved to abandon the vessels in order to
save the lives of the crews, which was
done, and twelve hundred sailors took re-
filge on board the remainder of the fleet,
which had been fortunate enough to escape
outside before the ice closed in the vessels.
The vessels abandoned are the Concordia,
Gayhead, George, John Wells, Massachu-
sets, j. ID. Thompson, Contest, G.. Nor
gan, Champion, Henry Tabor, E. Swift, 0.
Croker, Navy, Reindeer, Fanny, George
Rowland, Pacia, Eugenia, kaboola and L.
Dickinson. 1t is supposed that the whole
number lost will reach thirty-three.
The vessels known to be safe with the
oil secured are as follows: Artic, $50 bar
rels /; Progress, $50 barrels Chance, 900
barrels sperm and $50 barrels whale
Daniel Webster, 250 barrels F; Lagoda, 725
barrels; Europa, 800 barrels; Modes, 450
barrels whale and 40 barrels sperm. All
the abandoned vessels, it is believed, will
be a total loss, there being little chance OF
recovering even the cargoes in the spring.
The captain of the Florida arrived here by
the steamer Moses Taylor. The news
created the greatest excitement at Honolulu
and here.
