1 have succeeded to an eminent degree
in obtaining th' confidence ot the Indian?
end have secured some of their vocabula
rifs.' In fact, the Indian Pueblo of Sub
liava has presented me a formal address,
r. ritrcn in the aboriginal tongue and would
rise in arms to morrow at my call. In
presenting it, the spokesman exclaimed
with startling emphasis, 'the Spaniards
have had their feet on our necks i err long;
we hope the sons of Washington will j
overwhelm them as they have us; we hate
them!' It soun lad strange to hear ths In
dian, talk of Washington; but his name is
familiar in every rancho, and 'Hail! sons
of Washtnjrton, is a common salutation
from the barefooted mosos on the road.
The Indians of Subtiava have dug up for
me a number of their buried idols, and are
now exhuming more. They impose out
one condition, that I shall have no Span
iard with me when I go to see them, and
shall keep the localities secret. These
idols, though m jch smaller, closely re
samble those of Copan in workmanship,
an J were no doubt dedicated to the same
or very similar purposes. I have eight in
ray possession, ranging from fue and a
ha'f to eight feet in height, and from four
to fte in circumference.
Thv fices of most are mutilated an ev
idence of the fanatical zeal of the early
Sp niards, who waged a war of extermi
nation upm the S Jpe.stition3 of the abo-
rigm
s. They did not, however, succeed
i' .1 r .i i.i .
la a singular manner, ana no lnconnaera
bl? proportion, with the Catholic rites
imposed by the conqueroes. Many an
I.iii.n, with the sund of the bill of the
Cathedral, offers his libation of tiste
(ground parched corn and sugar mixed
with water) to the gods of the fields, for
the success of his crops; and secretly burns
gums from the forests before an earthen
idol or a carved . stone, carefully hidden
from the scrutiny of the priests, in some
obscure corner of his hut. Upon these
matters they, however, maintain all the
reserve of the Indians of the north, strength
ened by. fear of exposure to the rigors of
the priesthood. Some of the statues to
which I have referred, have the same
elaborate head-dresses with others of Co
pan; one bears a shield upon his arm, an
other has a girdle to which is suspended a
head; and still another has rising above ils
head the sculptured jaws of an alligator.
All are very ancient, and the places of
their deposite have been handed down
from one generation to another. The
fragments of many are to be found within
a few miles of Leon, and there must origi
nally have been a great number scattered
over the country- Perhaps the most re
markable locality, with the exception ol
the island ot Ometepe in Lak Nicaragus,
is the island of Momotoinbita, in the Lake
of Mongua. I paid a visit to this island
earlv in July. It is a beautiful volcanic
cone, rising with all the symmetry of a
sugar-loaf from the midst of the lake. Be
fore it lowers the giant volcano of Momo
tombo, from the bare and blackened sum
mit of which still rises the smoke of inter
nal fires. Momotombita is indeed a re
markable island, and the traveller who ga
zes UDon it from the shore of the lake is
not surprised to learn that, under the shad
ows and amidst the gloom of its dense for
ests, fringed b'y the stems of ages, stand
the rude and frowning statues of the gods
of aboriginal superstition. Many of these
have been removed, and are scattered over
the country, and some, I believe, have been
sent abroad..
"A number still remain; but the largest!
of all I -brought away with me, at the cost
of a day's hard labor, and at a great risk
in passing fifteen miles upon the lake, in a
gusty night and a boat scarce able to sus
tain the great weight- This had resisted
the exertion of twelve men on one occa
sion; after moving it a few rods, they had
abandoned it in despair. The boatmen
thought me mad, and crossed themselves
devoutly when I proposed to carry it
away. They offered. praj ers on the lake,
and made vows. After breaking down
one or twd carts, I finally got to this city
in safety, and shall ship it with ten or a
dozen more via Rialejo and Cape Horn
for Washington. But to return. It seems
that there were originally some thirty or
forty of these statues, of various sizes, and
more or less elaborately carved, arranged
in one place, in the form of a square, all
looking inward. . The dimensions of the
square cannot now be ascertained, but the
few remaining figures and fragments show
that the statement is correct. It is a sin
gular fact, and another evidence of the
prevalence in America of the doctrine of
the two reciprocal principles of nature (the
active and passive, male and female,) that
these figures were represented, some as
male and some as female.
'The Indians ; of Honduras,' says Her
rara, 'worshipped two images, male and
female, which they called the great father
and the great mother, and of which he
says a little farther on, the sun and moon
were also representatives. I have heard
of other localities, similar to this, which I
propose to visit, and shall therefore not re-j
peat what is told me concerning them. I1
must not, however, forget to mention, that I
there has lately been discovered, in the
province of Vera Paz, 150 miles N. E. of
uatimala, buried m a dense forest, and
in eradicating mem; iur nicy arc uienueu.tn.3y
. 1 t
far from any settlements, a ruined city sur-
(passing: Copan or Palenque in extent and
magnificence, and displaying a degree of
10 which none of the structures of 1 u-
catan can lay claim. The government of
Guatimala sent a commissioner to examine
it; but their investigations were soon inter-
rupu - a by the civil commotions oi trie
i:i;untry, i:nd thuy were only able to bring
"away
some ru:le specimens, ana imperiect
i
drawings.
I shall go there as
soon as my
duties
will permit. I learn also, ol other intei-
estiiig monuments near by, in Honduras
and San Salvador, of which no public
mention has vet been made. I shall pay
all attention I can to these, although there
is too much for one man to hope to do
well. Cut 'here goes,' notwithstanding!'
The Dt-adiy Niger
Quite recently, the English hive made
a settlement at Aden, near the Red Sea.
Having once obtained a foothold, they,
English like, began to push about them,
and one of their first discoveries was a
river where none was marked on any chart,
and upon this steamed 300 miles without
finding the least obstruction. Having now
passed around this continent, le: us look
up into the interior. For half a century
the English government have been ex
pending their lives and treasures in a par
tial exploration. They have founa that
this whole tract of country is one of ama
zing fertility and beauty, abounding in gold
and other tropical vegetation. 1 Mere are
hundreds of woods, invaluable for dyeing
and architectural purposes, not found in
other portions of the world. Through it,
for thousands of miles, runs a broad river,!
with clear water, and of surprising depth,
flowing on at the rate of two or three miles
an hour, without rock, shoal or snag to
interrupt its navigation.
Other rivers pour into this tributary
waters of such volume as must have requi
r,d hundreds of miles to be collected, yet
seem scarcely to
enlarge it.
Th s
river pours its waters into the Atlantic,
through the most magnificent delta in the
the
world, consisting, perhaps ol a hundred
mouths, extending probably rive hundred
miles along the coast, and mostly broad,
deep and navigable lor steamboats. Upon
this river are scattered cities, some of
which are estimated to contain a million
of inhabitants, and the whole country teems
with a dense population.
Far in the interior, in the very heart of
4he continent, is a nation iu an advanced
state of" civilization. The grandeur and
beauty of portions of the country through
which the Niger makes its sweeping cir
cuit, are indescribable. In many places
its banks rise boldly a thousand feet, rich
ly covered with the richest vegetation of
tropical climates. But all this vast and
sublime country this scope of rich fertil
ity and romantic beauty is apparently
shut out forever from the world.
It is the negro's sole possession. He
need not fear the incursions of the white
man there for over this whole lovely
country moves one dread malaria. To
the white man, it is the 'valley of theshad
ow of death.' Of expedition after expedi
tion, sent out from the English ports on
the Island of Ascension, not one man in
ten has returned alive all have fallen vic
tims to this seemingly beautiful but awlul
country. It seems impossible for an En
glishman to breathe the air. So dreadful
is it so small the chance of life that
criminals in England have been offered
pardon, on condition of volunteering in
this service more terrible than that of
gathering the poison from the Upas. This
country, tempting as it is, can only be
penetrated at the risk of life and it is
melancholy to think that those who have
given us the meagre information, that we
have, do so at the sacrihce ot tneir lives.
Qucer.Doings in Cuba.
A correspondent of the Tribune, at Ha
vana, is responsible for the following
SKetch of remarable doings at Matanzas:
"While the United States ship German
town was at Matanzas, a number of gen
tlemen proposed to give the officers a ball,
and the day selected was Saint Zachary's
day. Leave was refused by the Gover
nor, for fear that it might be esteemed a
compliment to the President of the United
States. But the Committee were inform
ed that on the Queen's birthday it would
be necessary to give one, and the officers
could be invited to attend it, which would
answer the same purpose. The parties
did not thinK so, and as they were denied
the one, they declined the other; all the
preparations were made, but no dancers
were in the halls. The music piped to
empty walls, save that His Excellency,
the Governor, his wife and daughter, were
present. Six young gentlemen, custom
house officials, have been sentenced to five
years' years residence in Corunna for the
crime of staying away from this ball; and
four have been ordered home by Alcoy,
and sailed this morning, placed on board
the Courier, which sailed for Cadiz."
Cuba yet to be Independent.
The N. Y. Sun, of Saturday last, an
nounces the receipt of highly important
intelligence from all parts of the island of
Cuba; so important, indeed, that our con
temorary feels warranted in adopting for a
caption, 'The flag of free Cuba yet to be
unfurled!' We shall soon see what we
shall see.
In silence and secrecy the Cuba patri
ots are steadilv at worn in every part of
th island, and" though a portion of their
frustrated bv the seizure of
some of their vessels at New orK, still
their designs in Cuba have not been dis
covered or disturbed. Thus far the most
rind searches of the tyrant Roncali have
'availed him
nothing. A short time only
will elapse when ihe true object of the
recent seizures and 'excitements at Nevv
YorK, will be made public, and the readers
of the New YorK Sun, may Iook for
stirring, glorious xews from the beautiful
Cuba!
The Author of the Railway System.
The following sketch of Thos. Gray,
the author of the Railway system, ws take
from the Painesville 7'ehgraph:
Thomas Gray was born in Leeds, Eng
land, about a half century, or more ago
anil this is all we know of his early history.
The Middletown Colliery had a railway
for carrying coal to Leeds, a distance of
three miles. The cars moved along it at
the rate pf three and a half miles per hour.
It was laughed at not by Gray but by
the wise public. Gray saw in this little
work something that might be augmented
into greatness; and he thought upon the
subject and forthwith became a visionary!
He talked and wrote upon his project of
A tjeneral Iron Kailway until people de
clared him insane. He petitioned Parlia
ment; sought interviews with the lords and
other great men; and thus became the
laughing stock of all England. He recei
ved nothing but rebuffs wherever he went.
All this took place in 1820, or thereabouts.
But he succeeded at last. Tue rail
ways were laid. The world has been
benefitted by the madness of Thomas
Gray.
Well, what became of him, the reader
will ask. We do not know; but believe
he still lives, in Exeter, to which place he
removed. Up to 1846 he had been ne
glected. While thousands have been en-
riched by the consummation of his brilliant
scheme, he remained forgotten forced by
poverty to sell glass on commission for a
living. Howitt, in the People's Journal,
a few years ago, gave a somewhat lengthy
sketch of his career; thus bringing him
into public notice. We have seen nothing
in print in relation to him lately. Elliott
wrote a great truth in jhese wojds:
' - How many men w ho lived to bless mankind
Have died uiiihanked."
How many of the railroad projectors,
agitators, stockholders, &c, have ever
'heard of the subject of this brief sketch.
