BTANLEY'8 EXPLORATIONS.
The explorations of t'rAslEY in equatorial |
Africa live thus far bocu crowned with very |
ror.nrkablo success In pont Of health and |
atreugslt. In securing thu friendly oflIccs OF |
tho natiye tribss and keeping on the good |
ait1a uf tho pesty ehieftains who groaly |
abound among tho Milo lakca, aud IN sup |
ptyiug himaaf with provisions, he Inns beeu |
very fortunate. Judging from hia lcttors, i'll |
deed, theru IL oyery reason to believe That fo |
will before long solvo tho nyssory Of thu
sourccg Of the Nii.., which LIVINGSTONE 50
nearly hal reached when death overlook him.
The scheme Of t;rAxLEYs explorations etn-
braces three great objects. The first at theao
IL thorough exploration Of tho grent lake,
tho Victoria Niyanza, originally discovered by
SrgxE and GRANT, an.l supposed by thom 10
DO tho main fountain head of tho Nile. A
portion OF tho work has already been
accom- plIslcd. Ills letters, which have
| been printed in The Tn1uuNE, have
| described lis voyage upon tho VA
tors Of this unknown son from Kagehyi on
tho south, 1000 miles, or nearly two-th!rtls
Of the wny round it, to n 1srgo island OF ita
northwestern shore. From tlliB point, for
sonlo reason which does not yet appear,
STANLEY Rcems to hive rctracetl lis conrso to
Kagehyi, loaving al,ons one-thiru Of tho sl,ore
On the southwest unc1plorea. His next let
ter, however, will probably givo ts the ro~
1uainter Of the exploration Of tho Victoria
Niyanza, or 1t may bo that ho has a1rcndy
written lettcrs giving the result which havo
not arrived, rs it is evident that there arc
gaps In llia correspondence. STANLEY is not
q yory graphic writer, and gives little atten-
ton to detail, but there in sufficient detail IN
l,s descriptions to show that tho region ho
has been exploring il very fertile, aud that
| tho great tracta Of country inhibited by tho
savage tribes ore rich in products Of the SOIL
md especially abound in cattle aud elephants,
giving great mercantile promiso for some
! future time. One important result OF his
exploration is his discovery that tho laAo is
great open body Of water, instcna OF suc-
ccssion of little lakca, as 6rEEE and oven
LIVINGSTONE thought.
SrAx1Ey'a second object in q thorough ex-
p1oration Of tho other known fountain Of tho
Nile. the Albert Nynnza, lying northwest Of
the Victoria Nyanza, nnd connected with it
by tho Victoria Milo. Tho Albert Nyanza
was discovered by Sir Samuel. pAKEn, hut he
explored it only about 100 miles south from
it's outlet into the Milo. Tho tribes occupy
ing tho country between the two great 1akes
have already been pacided, and haye such =
hearty fear Of tho whites TINT it is not an
ticipated STANLEY will have any difficulty in
crosaing it. His success in exploring the VIC
toria Nyanza, which is much iargor than the
Albert Nyanzn, is good omen for SUCCESS in
exploring the latter. If no misfortune shall
oyertake him, This exploration will solve the
question Of connection between the Albert
Nyauzo and Lake Tnnganyika on the south,
which WAS the grand theasre Of DR.. Lzv1sa-
. stones operations. The third md last OBJ
! jcct Of STANLEY is to pluck tho mgs.
terry of this Tanganyika basin, which
, undoubtedly LIVINGSTONE would lave Rolved
l1ad not death overtaken him. In pursuing
his wny westward from the Tauganyika, DR.
L1v1NGaToNE found TINT tho great system ol
lakes, rivers, creeks, and springs, north o'
| tho Lakiga Mountains, which undoubtedly
constitute tho watershed Of tho Nile, fsainet
into tho Lualaba and Lomamo Rivers, ant
that tho8o rivers In turn flowed into grca
river suddenly cut oil In MI unknown mi
uneaplored region. Dr.. LIVINGSTONE Gr1nl,
believed that this whole interior basin, will
it's complicated web Of lakes and rivers, be
= Iongod to tho Nile, aud to solve this 1nyster,
. is sTAat,Ers paramount ambition. II hc ca,
