The mineral wealth of this country can scarcely be over-estimated. For centuries it. has ; iriven to the world untold quantities; of gel, 1 and sil ver, and still the mines seem as productive as ever, and as inexhaustible as, the .mountains inemscives. inc cnver mines oi cerro I'a.sco have yielded anuuallv since their discovery iu 1630, over two millions of dollars. Hut tiie , miners are comparatively few aud deficieut iu the art, and the means ot transportation rc slow aud tedious; hence it is that these mines are turned to little account.- There are piany veins abandoned, and many others which have never been worked at all. Governmental .re ports of Bolivia show that in one district there are at least four thousand rich veins of gold and silver, only sixty-live of which yield their em bosomed wealth. Accounts from other places present facts equally as striking. And besides gold and silver, there abounds, in the Andes, from the isthmus of Darien to the straits of Magellan, quantities of murcury, lead, iron, tin, copper, antimony, sulphur, salt, , nitre,, vitriol, fee. The diamond regions on the Tadajos con tain in themselves sources of almost unbounded wealth. A person may sometimes become vastly rich in this region all at once; but .-diamond hunting is sit 1est but a. lottery business, the most ensratred in it are injured. Rut llcniuon says, a merchant, by carrying dry goods aud groceries to the miners could clear at least live hundred per cent in eight months, on the capi tal in vesteiL : If the fiction of El Dorado is ever dissipated, it will be when science and in dustry shall develop the minerals of South America.; Anglo-Saxon effort would make these ragged hills blossom as the rose, and glow with a splendor beyond concept ion. The vegetable kingdom , is varied, valuable and abundant. There are many varieties . of palms, all of .which are .useful in furnishing wine, oil, wax or sugar.- Trees suitable ; for building ships arc found in great abundance; besides many otlrer kinds - fitting for cabinet work, some of which are beautiful,-durable, and capable of the highest polish.'

The winter storm rages aroundthe summit, while the quiet plains below are carpeted in summer's vendure. These plains are certainly the most delightful regions in South America'. Vegetation springs up with a rapidity of growth that is perfectly marvellous; and the harvest is perennial. Egypt, the ancient granary of 1 the Human empire, tumisties no -parallel ; 111 fecundity to this.. In one held the corn is just peeping from the ground, while in another it is ready for the garner. On the mountain tops is everlasting winter, but here reigns perpetual spring. f Tarma is a beautiful place, -situated in a vallej', and embosomed among trees and flowers. A green lawn stretches out in front, while the mountains that rise on either side are covered with waving fields of barley, ncarly to their tops. -. -j . . Although this is a remarkably healthy place, yet Ilerudoii gives it as his opinion that a young urrndnate of medicine from the U.

The more educated have schools invhich the boys are drilled in Latin grammar, and the girls in butterfly accomplishments. They are: polite aud agreeable in their manners, and are full of srayety.ajid life In the mountains where fuel is scarce they dance . and play romping games till bed-tiuie, thus dispensing with the necessity of fire; a; decidedly merry wa.y of spending cold dreary evenings. : North American mid shipmen used to.say.Uiut it was the height of their enjoyment to dance with these girls. Lieut. Gibbon thus handsomely describes, the young , ladies aljout the Capital of Bolivia. "The beanty and gr-.ice of the ladies here can not be dQuli&cd. . They are. uatuially gifted with a pleasing flow of conversation, are keen sighted and witty,. Their bright , black eyes flash beneath an in esistable and modest smile. Their long black haif; neatly -arranged when abroad, .but at home It hangs platted over their shoulders. Their motions are slow and steady; aud they show their snow-white necks and graceful figures to advantage.",' They receive j vvit'' wodesty, compliments from their beaux, and when addressed. speak out and to the point, answering scrums questions affirmatively. Such girls, I trow, would not be "wall flowers" evcu in this itugalluut place. .... i iThe Indians, once masters of this whole conti nent, now -exercise but little influence in its political "affairs. Many. -' savage tribes have maintained, their independence, while others have Jieeii subdued and enslaved. These are mild and submissive to the powers that be, and view with philosophical composure all changes in the affairs of" government. Some of the Indian girls are decidedly beautiful ; of clear complect ion and regular features; black eyes, black hair, perfectly white teeth, hand and feet exquisitely sliapcd, and of a most perfect figure. Gibbon says they would make neat house keepers.- '.?.,.' The Amazon is a -majestic river. It dis charges six times'as much ,water as the Missis sippi, and is one hundred and eighty miles wide at its mouth.. The island navigation that this river and its tributaries: afford is immense, be ing estimated at fifty thousand miles, and the extent of the basin has been computed to be about two-fifths of.SoiUh .America, or two mit lions of square miles. ; The- capacities of this country for yielding the comforts and luxuries of life are inconceivably great-j yet the ignorant and selfish policy of Drazil. would rather suffer it to remain in a state of nature, thou to open the Amazon to free iiavigaJiou. AVe have se cured the right of trading ifi the Peruvian tribu taries, but Brazil, in violation of a principle of international law, has forbidden us tomakeany attempt to ascend that river. -If she could be induced to throw off the restrictions, hoppy would be the result.
