Deae Beothee: I received your welcome letter in February last, -written -when the cable news made you pnt off your suits of monrning. This was the first intimation I had that the cable had been successfully laid in the deep Atlantic. Very few letters have ever reached mo. from fears in consequence of my friends speculating as to where I should come out on tne west coast, down tho Nile, or elsewhere- Ihc wa ter shed is a broad upland, between four and five thousand feet abovo tho level of tho sea, and some two hundred miles loner. The springs of tho Nile that rise thereon are almost innumera ble. It would take the best part of a man's lifetime to count them. In one part 04 miles of latitude gave thirty two springs from calf to waist deep, or one spring for every two miles. A birdseye view of them would bo like the congelation of frost on window panes. To ascertain that all these fountains united with the four great rivers in the upper part of the Nile valley was the-work of time and much travel, ana many a weary loot x troa ere the light dawned on the ancient problem. If I had left at tho end of tho two years tor wtiicn my expenses were paid, I could have thrown very little more light on the country than the Portuguese, who, in their three slavery visits to tho Cazembi, asked for ivory and slaves and thought of noth ing else. 1 asked .about tne waters, questioned and cross-questioned till I was really ashamed, and almost afraid of being set down as afflicted with hy drocephalus. I went forward, back 'ward and sideways, feeling my way every step of the way. I was general ly groping in the dark, for who cared where the river ran? Of these four rivers into wnicn tne springs oi tne Nile converge, the central one is called Lualaba, and is tho largest. It begins as the river Chambczi, which flows in to the great lako Bangwolo. Un leav ing it its name is changed from Chara bezi to Luapula, and that enters Lake Moero. Coming out of it the name is changed to Lualaba, and it flows into a third lake, Lamolondo, which receives one of the four large drains mentioted above. It then flows on and makes two enormous bends to the west, and these made me often fear I was follow ing the Congo instead of the Nile. It is from one to three miles broad and never can be waded at any part or at any time of the year. Far down tho valley it receives another of the four large rivers mentioned above, the lo- mame or Lockie, whjcb flows through what I have namedako Livingstone rLincolnl, and then joins tho central Lualaba. "We have then only two lines of drainage in tho lower part of the great valley, that is Lake Tanganyika and Albert Lake, which arc but one lake or river, or say, if yon want to bo pedantic, a lacruslino river. The Lu alaba, which I call "Webb's Lualaba, is then the western line, nearly as depict ed by Ptolemy in the second century of our era. After the Lomame enters the Lualaba a fourth great lake in tho central line of drainazo is found. But ing even when 1 was most unwisely believed to be dead. Nobody but Lord Brougham and I know what people will say after wo are gone. Tho work of trying to follow tho central lines of drainage down has taken me away trom the mails or postage.

Geeeley'sMonstuous Factjltt foe StJEnENDEE. Of tho man whose abject fear in times of trial and danger, crisis after crisis in our history has exposed to tho jeers of tho whole country, tho Boston Advertiser thus speaks : Mr. Greeley has a monstrous faculty for surrender. For giving up a great causo at a critically wrong time, his genius is superhuman. After years of vigorous controversy against slavery, the South rebelled. What does our leader of men at this practical crisis ? He surrenders forthwith. He immedi ately docs what ho can to allow tho rebel States to destroy tho TJniou and build up their slaveholding common wealth in peace. He knew well that such an embodied infamy as slavery was wrong and hateful, and had just enough resolution to last him up to the moment when resolution was tho most needed. After years of fighting Gen. Lee penetrated into Pennsylvania, and what does our proposed Comtnaudcr-in-Chiet then? Why, ho surrenders again. Luckily ho was not in command of tho army in the field. But ho sur- rondreed his own post, which vas all that could bo expected of him, by dis tinctly avowing that if things went on in this way wo had better make as good a peace as possible under tho cir cumstances."

Lake Bangwolo, at tho very lowest es timate, is 150 miles long. I tried to cross and measure its breadth exactly.

The other is tho Tanganyika, which I found steadily flowing north. This tho gc otrranhers. mv predecessors, must havo gleaned from men who visited this very region. One idle person in London published a pamphlet which, with killing mod esty, ho entitled "Inner Africa Laid Open," and the newspapers, even the limes, rails at anyone who travels and dares to find a country different from that drawn in his twaddle.

JLhe time was when they ran away from places that did not afford a largo yield, became, with the appliances for mining whbh were then used, they could not be prof itably worked. In many cases they have now gone back to such ores and find they pay. A mino high up on tie Butte mountains, in Sierra county, thit never yielded ores of anything but a low grade, has been worked for years with water power, and has enriched all its owners. It yields between $10 and 12 per ton of quartz. In ono month of this year 3.3C4 tons of its rock pro duced 35,597; cost of mining anl milling, S3 97 per ton; net profit $22,- 'lil.
