Metier is a country well known to be teeming with in exhaustible mineral r:? , sourc,es, from which Spain formerly derived enormous riclies, and thus added materially to her grev,tness and prosp,Jritv. The intervention the affairs of Mexico by the Allied Powers—Enalarid. France and Spain—by giving confi 'donee to British enterprise will, undoubtedly, add wealth to those who. w,rly embark in the mineral developments of that count This C, in , pally PROSPECTUS. the is formed for the purpose of purchasing rich and extensive copper, gold, silver, and lead mines, 4 8 Purisima an d D os A m i gos, w i t h the i r Pertenen 'l, er , vering 56 acres, including all lodes and veins therein, .te in Huacayvo, Chihuahua, adjoining the State of I° °'.iora, on the Gulf of California. Also for the purchase of a large tract of land surround ing these mines, held in perpetuity by virtue of a decree of the State, thickly covered with woods and forests, the Whole estimated at 142,000 acres. And further, for the purpose of working the above mines, and erecting works for the reduction of the ores, by which t he Company will reap the double profits arising respec tively from mining and smelting. _._ The ri vers F uel te, or Ilaicpae, and Papa gue u i running through the properties afford ample and most valuable water power. The Government has conceded, for a period of five years, absolute exemption from all taxes, levies, and duties of 'whatsoever kind or nature. The presence of rich ores cropping out and appearing on the surface of these mines, and the value of the lodes, is established by the survey and report of Mr. Robert L. b'Aumaile, an English engineer resident in Sonora, and th e accredited Government mining engineer and assayer for that State, and fully corroborated in a valuable paper read by Mr. Charles Sevin, F.R.G.S., before the Royal Geogra phical Society of London, so far back as January 24th, 1859 (See Journal of that Society for 1860).—Extracts from ReDrirts to be seen at the Company's offices and in full Pre , spectus. Mr. The richness of the lode is proved from assays made by D'Auraaile on. the spot of ores taken promiscuously from every part of the vein, by which an average of 83 per cent. of copper ins been obtained, while those assays tested in Europe by Messrs. Johnson and Son, Basinghall-street, London an 'a by Mr. Thom as P enrose, assayer to Messrs. Richardson and Co., Swansea, give still more favourable suits, leading to the inference that the yield of metal ex oeds that of any copper mines yet discovered.—Statement Pr Aospec tu ssays to be seen a t th e C ompany ' s offices and in full s. It is proposed by the Company to sme!t the ores upon the Found, adjacent to the mines, and only to transport the ltnetal to the coast, thereby lessening the exp ense of carriage to the port o f shipment. It is estimated that the very large all o y of gold and silver which the metal contains will be ir lifficient to pay the cost of transport of the copper to a uropean market. Very rich gold deposits are also found 34 various parts of the main vein. linder.these circumstances it is scarcely necessary to say that the profits of the undertaking, with ordinarily prud en t management, must b;; large, in further proof of which the 'ondors have consented to postpone the payment of half the P l irchase-money until the net profits shall amount in any e year to 20 per rent. on the called-up capital. The purchase of this valuable mineral property, includ ing the existing reduction works, plant, machinery, &c., together witch the territorial grant, and all privileges at tached ',hereto, w ith out any reservation of rights or :royalties, has bee n agree d f or with the proprietors upon the lb lowing advantageous terms : That £lO,OOO b e paid, and 5,000 paid-up shares be allotted to them on delivery of .the property to the Com- Pany's confidential agent, to be despatched to Mexico for that purpose. That a deferred payment of £lO,OOO and an additional allotment of :',,000 paid-up shares be made when the net profits shalt amount in any one year to 20 per cent, on the called-up capital. That, on a dividend being declared, the shares given to the proprietors, in payment for the property, shall only be considered in value the same as the shares of thesubscribing shareholders, whatever amount may have been paid up on them. Juan A. Robinson, Esq., of the port of Guaymas, Gulf of Calitornia, &more, has undertaken with the assistance of the Company's confidential agent, the management of the dines, and the establishment of the reduction works on the spot, until such time as the enterprise shall have proved Thremunerative, and a dividend shall have been declared. e long res id ence of this gentleman in the country, toge rwith his gre a t p ract i cal experience and high commer cial standing, ensure to the Company an additional guaran tee for its success. Silva aiS'ples of the o res , as we ll as of the copper, gold, and ,'er extracted from th e m i nes, together with maps of the Loc.ality, may be seen at the offices of the Company. All charges for agency, promotion, advertisements, brokers commission, legal and other expenses, including the costs and fees of registration of the Company, have been estimated not to exceed 3 per cent. on the nominal capital of the Company.

Established 1824. Empowered by Special Act of Parliament BONUS MEETING, 1862. The Report presented at a Meeting held on the 2d January last, for the declaration of the Seventh Bonus, showed, in evateme c 4 cue progress of the 00 O Ly, latat atatiaa,, quennial period which terminated on the 30th of Juno, 1861, New Assurances for a total sum of £1,486,370 had been effected, being an increase of £62,215 on those of the previous five years ; that The Income had increased from £166,800 to £195,400 per annum; that The 'Assurance Fund had risen from £1,154,276 to £1,422,191; and that a Reversionary Addition to the Policies of £275,077 was then made, as against £232,479 at the prior division. In illustration of the results of the Division, that the Reversionary Addition above named averaged 48 per cent., or varied with the different ages from 33 to 89 per cent. on the Premiums paid in the five years ; and that the Cash Bonus averaged 2s per cent. on the like Premiums, being amongst the largest ever declared by any office. The Report explained at length the nature of the invest ments, and the bases of the calculations, the results of which, as above shown, are eminently favourable. The following are among the distinctive features of the Society : Credit System.—On Policies for the whole of life, one half of the Annual Premiums during the first five years may remain on credit, and may either continue as a debt on the Policy, or be paid off at any time. Policies for Terms of Years may be effected at rates pecu liarly favourable to Assurers. Invalid Lives may be assured at Premiums proportioned to the increased risk. Prompt Settlement of Claims.—Clalms paid thirty days after proof of death. The Acc!ounts and Balance Sheets are at all times open to the inspection of the Assured, or of persons proposing to assure.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 15, 1862. PUBLICATIONS. sensitive but mistaken young minds to that subtle monster —pride. In my subsequent travels round the world I be held soma of its effects. In the streets of Melbourne I have seen the well educated son of a bankrupt merchant carrying, in a baker's basket, the daily bread of others in order to obtain his own. In tracing the sad spectacle to its origin, I diSoovered that the bearer of the basket, rather than carry a small parcel in his native land, had abandoned a lucrative position, as the representa tive of an old and eminent mercantile house, in order to improve his position at the Antipodes. On the gold fields of Victoria, I have seen the son of a poor baronet working, like an English "navvy," mid -deep in water—because in the mother country the pride of the aristocratic labourer prevented hint from accepting a subordinate Government appointment which had, with difficulty, been obtained through the influence Of his father. Farther in the interior of Australia, a picture of a still more depressing tendency arrested my at , ention. Riding one day over a part of the country in which kangaroos and oppossums were more plentiful than the human race, I overtook a team of bullocks on their way to the remote station of a well-known squatter. On asking the coarsely clad, unshaved, but youthful bul lock driver the nearest way to the point whither I was bound, the young man, after having signalled his cattle to stop, looked intently at his inquisitor, raised both arms in a manner that indicated great surprise, and in a tone of voice that betrayed something between joy and madness, exclaimed : " I—can't be mistaken; no, I—" Here he drew nearer the horse on which I was mounted, and after an earnest svrvey of the rider, sealed by a slight but expressive motion of the head right and left, he re peated with increased emphasis, "No ; I can't be mistaken—l'm sure I can't. But you don't know me—no ?" " Indeed, I do not," I replied. At this moment there confronted my vision a look I have never forgotten and can never forget. A fiery glance from the eye of the most .eminent actor that ever lived never made a deeper impression on a spectator than was suddenly produced on the writer by the mute yet eloquent expres sion on the eountenan,ee the bullock driver. It seemed to-open -dutea.xtlume—rteit in Veld; b'4 In a look.—That look conveyed to my mind twenty questions at a blush: Who, or what is he ? To whom does he belong ? From what part of the world did be come? As these and other queries were crossing the imagination they were inter. rupted by : " Yes ; I know you well ; but you don't wish to know me. You and I are not now—that is lam not what 1 was. I am the—the same person, bui, —" His speech faltered, and as he turned his head to conceal the tears that damped his cheek, I could'nt, for the life of me, avoid following suit, although satisfied the thing was altogether a mistake. Recovering his self-possession, the young man evidently wished to pass off, unnoticed, the symptoms of a sensitive heart, and in a volume of sound somewhat more bold than clear, he continued, " When you have passed the next creek turn your horse to the right, and the rider will soon find the spot he en quired for. Good morning, sir. In time past I might have said, Frank." The familiar sound of my own name, coupled with a style of speech superior to that of most bullock drivers, com pletely electrified me; and as the young man withdrew to proceed with his team of cattle, I muttered a sort of half stifled, "aye," or " ho-i" as a signal for him to return. This was answered by a clear and emphatic "No, sir. I have no wish to intrude my conversation or my company on anyone. Time was when Charles the present bullock driver, would have received a different sort of greeting from his old school-fellow." he name of Charles —, the disfigured student, threw instant light on the subject. A moment, and I was dis mounted ; another, and the hands and arms of two old schoolfellows were like so many Pump-handles in rapid motion, while the liquid drops that bore testimony to the sincerity of the operation were as warm, if not so con tinuous, as any stream that ever flowed from a natural course. What took place after the somewhat difficult task of per sonal recognition, or subsequently at the house of the squatter in whose service my friend filled an unenviable situation, may be passed without comment. Although the early history of one who had fallea from a good position to that of bullock driver was soon revealed, the details of that revelation will not be required here. It is enough for the reader to know that the primary cause of the young man's fall was—pride. abandoned, returns toManchester, steals home in the evening, o'erhears her father's malediction, and then is lost to view. Frank now, having given a friend instruction to search her out, takes a trip to the Rhine, returns, enters the mill as manager, marries Margaret Hail; Mary is found, her character is cleared, and all ends well. The story is very agree ably told, and contains some clever character paint ing—especially good is the vulgar but plausible Benjamin Wills, picture dealer, wine merchant, and general humbur , by profession. The keen but good natured manufacturer also is well drawn, and the hero, if at first weak and unstable, settles down creditably at last. The minor characters, too, are real, and the story is moderate in length. The Gospel in the Miracles of Christ. By the Rev. Richard Travers Smith, M.A. Smith, Elder, and Co., Curnhilt A series of essays, rat her than sermons, the view taken by the writer will be best understood by the following passage from the introduction • The New Testament is a book of fact; for it is altogether occupied either with events or the explanation and application of them. B ut the life and death of Jesus Christ are the conspicuous and important fact of the whole volume. And just so, within the life of Christ it self, the most striking and characteristic facts are the miracles; and thus the miracles, also, may have different uses to different minds. They afford a firm basis of evidence on which faith may be built, and a call to even faithless minds. The varieties of their power and their love lead us on toward the full knowledge of that which the miracle worker is employed in teaching, that is toward the full knowledge of himself. Bat, still more, we find in them His salvation itself. They are instances of His saving work, as well as proofs of it, and helps to learn it." The discourses are fourteen in number, including an introduction and conclusion. They seem perfectly orthodox, and to a large section of the religious community they will doubtless be welcome. . The Curability of Coxsumption. By Francis H Ramadge, M.D., Oxon, &c. Thirteenth Thou sand. Longman and Co. The papers which compose the bulk of this little work were published in the Medical Times many years ago. The attention they excited caused the author to collect them, a proceeding amply justified by the extent of the sale. An idea of the nature of the contents will best be given in his own words. In the preface to the first edition he says, " After an experience of upwards of thirty years, during which no less than 30,000 cases of consumption, in all its various stages, have come before me, I have no hesitation in saying—notwithstanding a different opinion is entertained by some medical practitioners—that- this disease, when judiciously and skilfully treated, is as curable as any other I disease, the curability . of which is not disputed." The effects of the disease are thus explained:— "In consumption the lungs are not fully inflated, and the walls of the chest undergo gradual contrac tion. The normal relation between the powers of inspiration and expiration is lost. The great air passage becomes, as it were, too wide for the dimi nished volume of the lungs. Whatever, therefore, restores the normal relation between the lungs and the windpipe contributes to arrest the progress of tubercular disease." And he thus describes his mode of treatment : THE INHALING TUBE. This being the true pathology of phthisis, the object of treatment should obviously be to imitate the curative pro cess which Nature herself adopts • and for this purpose we may have recourse to various expedients. That which I have indeed found convenient, and very successful, has been the inhalation of common atmospheric air through a tube, which, while it admits the air freely, presents a slight ob struction to its egress. The full inflation of the lungs is hereby secured. The chest becomes by degrees expanded, and the healthy relation between. the lungs and the wind pipe apparently simple, is not well understood ; hence, many persons, take it up, and deriving no benefit, lay it aside as useless. The manner in which inhalation operates is similar to that effected by catarrh or bronchitis. It pos sesses, however, this important advantage, that what Na ture merely attempts, or imperfectly accomplishes, is hereby effected more surely, and without superinducing any new disease. I have never known an instance of bad effects, or even inconvenience, resulting from the use of the inhaling tube. Medicated vapours, though formerly not much esteemed by me, I have found from experience to have a soothing and antispasmodic power. The Inhaler for Ferbs combines both the mechanical as well as the proper medi cinal action. The use of the inhaling tube I consider to be essential in the treatment of phthisis; indeed, all other treatment is comparatively secondary and ancillary. It possesses the negative recommendation of simplicity and safety; and it may be advantageously resorted to in cases of asthma as well as phthisis. In asthma the windpipe is too small for the volume of the lungs, and, though it may seem contra dictory, the mechanical respiration by the tube has the effect of restoring this disturbed relation to its healthy standard. The objection to it, on the score that asthma is liable to be superinduced by its use, arises from mere prejudice. Could I but present one-tenth part of the cases which have been rescued from premature graves, chiefly by means of using this instrument, it would force irresistible conviction on the most incredulous, or at least induce them to institute a number of experiments, patiently and judiciously, so as to satisfy themselves of the truth. Consumption among musicians is thus accounted for : It may be asked, why is consumption so prevalent among musicians who perform on wind instruments ? Tht answer obviously is, because they make several successive expira tions to one inspiration. This is in direct opposition to the natural function of r&piration, and also to the mechanical process as regulated by the respiratory tube, and therefore producing effects directly the reverse, contracting the chest and diminishing the size of the lungs. On one occasion I was consulted by the leader of a band, on behalf of himself and fellow .musicians, as to the best method of counteract ing the effects of this irregular breathing, and I recom mended that they should all take a long and quick run im mediately after the close of their performances, or provide themselves with a tubular walking-stick, constructed on the principle of the respiratory tube, and respire through it at proper intervals. This was followed by the best effects. Thus upon examining an objection which apparently mili tated against my views, we find in reality it constitutes an indubitable confirmation of their truth. Many instances of consumption are supposed to occur among females who habituate themselves to the use of very tight stays or corsets, a practice against which many medi cal men of high repute have long declaimed. The confine ment and stooping attitudes of young persons in counting houses, manufactories, and various kinds of mechanical occupations, send thousands prematurely to the grave, and sow the seeds of disease, the fruits of which are sure to be reaped by future generations. All these preceding effects may be accounted for upon the simple principle 1 have laid down—contraction of the chest, and want of due pulmonary exercise. The North American Indian, in the humid atmosphere of his boundless forests, exposed with very imperfect coverings to the rigours of variable and inclement winters, almost uniformly exhibits symnßetry of the chest and a sound state of the lungs. It is only by coming in contact with the habits of civilised nations that he suffers from the invasion of the malady, which desolates the regions we inhabit. In the appendix are numerous testimonials to the efficacy of the author's treatment. Flowers, and How to Arrange Them. By Miss Maling. Smith, Elder, and Co., Cornbill. This is a very pleasant and useful little manual upon a subject upon which the public have long needed information. Indeed, the proper arrange. ment of flowers, involving as it does a knowledge of the harmonies of form and colour, is really a branch of the fine arts—lower, of course, than those which depend upon less perishable materials, but still akin to them in nature. Upon the beauty of flowers we need not dilate. It has been always admitted. The polished Greek and the swarthy Indian have alike delight in them. Poets have grown eloquent in their praises. They form at once the cheapest, the most innocent, and the most universal source of en joyment. From the poor seamstress with her single pot of musk to the Duchess with her gorgeous con servatory, all cultivate or admire them. Still there is a difference between mere sensuous or instinctive feeling for their beaaty and that artistic apprecia tion of it which a cultivated taste alone can give. The latter is far higher in kind. It is more inde pendent of fashion. It sees the connection between various forms of beauty more distinctly. It ac quires a clearer insight into the harmonious con struction of the universe, and it brightens the brain as well as purifies the heart. All works, then, that tend to this end are worthy encouragement, and we are glad to class Miss Maling's little volume among the number. NOTICE.

Number One ; or, the Way of the JF orld. By Frank Foster. Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. Aware of the extreme difficulty of relating events of personal interest as they actually occur, Goethe styled his autobiography "Truth and Fiction," and the writer of the present memoir, treading in the steps of the great German, contents himself with stating that it has a groundwork of fact; to more than which we think no work of the kind can pre tend. We all of us see things through a distorted medium. Each is a hero to himself whatever he may be to his valet (should he possess that encum brance). That amusing braggart Cellini is in this but a type of biographers generally; but, then, to brag like Cellini one should be gifted with his genius. To this, however, the writer of the volume before us lays no claim. He is no great genius ; but then he is, comparatively, a modest man. He neither commits homicide, bullies Popes and princes, or produces works which are the admiration of the world. His tale Is a " plain, unvarnished" one, fluently told, possessing no improbable or romantic features, but professing to give a view of life as seen through the Claude. Lorraine glass of " Number One." Frank, the hero, is the only son of a respec table tradesman in a country town, who, neglecting his own business to look after that of others, and paying special attention to politics, suddenly dies, leaving him at 15 with a fortune of seven pounds. Thinking London a sort of Tom Tiddler's ground, where good commercial situations and Government appointments may be had for the asking, Frank arrives in the metropolis with sundry letters of re commendation, and finds on presenting them " no effects." He then calls on a noble lord to whom his father had been useful, an dis reeeived with politeness, "promise cramm'd" and dismissed. Next,havin g spent his money in sight seeing he falls into difficulties, but is relieved by an old servant of his father's, named " Honest Sohn." At length, after numberless re buffs, he succeeds in getting a subordinate situa tion in the establishment of Messrs. Fountain, lar, and Branch, rises rapidly, leaves them to become commercial traveller to another house, and is seized with the caccethes scribendi. Accordingly he publishes a work upon a subject he understands —Commercial Life—which sells, and a volume of poems, which does not; then, having "a soul above buttons," he cuts commerce for letters. Thus he lives till the Australian gold fever broke out, whither he went with the double intent of writing a book on the colony and doing a geod stroke of business with the residents. Arrived there he soon converted his four hundred pounds worth of property into two thousand, then returned to Eng land, bought another cargo and once more started for the golden shore. But a change had come over the Australian scene. No longer was there T 9. hrush o oodfs purchasers. at a The lo s s market p per cae g lutted nt the ruined s p ecu l ator once more turned steps towards home. Fi n di ng now th at "th , and. e cupboard was bare" he delivers lectures, publishes an account of his travels, starts an entertainment in the Albert Smith style, his health gives way, he is seized with a dangerous illness, becomes an incurable invalid, and derives consolation from religious faith. Such is a bare outline of the contents of the volume which, should the author live, is, it seems, to be followed by another and similar one. The value of the work thus consists in its relat ing a series of experiences in an amusing and unobjectionable form, with the intention of enabling the young reader to profit by example. The hero is a fair specimen of an average character. If not always prudent, he is neither vicious nor criminal. Though he becomes religious under affliction, there is no case of miraculous conversion. The begin n i ng of his career shows how "great expectations" of patronage and employment come to naught, and the end how those who make haste to grow rich may find their dreams of fortune melt like icicles in the sun. Still he neither complains or despairs. Always ready to help himself, he makes the best of everything. H is view of life is therefore a healthy One. Somewhat superficial, Perhaps, it may be, though to this the general reader will net object ;" b ut the 'following extracts will best illus trate its character : THE PALL OF PRIDE. Alafsl How frequent acid severe is the penalty paid by EIWCATIONAL FITNESS. In this allusion to the advantages of a suitable education for each and. every class of society, the writer does not wish to be misunderstood. If social reformers of former days neglected to impress on parents and employers the benefits that would accrue from having their sons and ser vants mentally qualified for their respective positions in life, some of our modern philanthropists seem desi r o us o f rushinghav e peo t p o le theo educated i for positionssiteextree. They would not only beyond those designed for them, but, in many cases, they lead the ignorant to suppose that education is to do everything for them. Such assurances are not only illusory, but dangerous. If by the application of mental knowledge to natural talent or genius, certain poor men have become, as others may become, great and eminent, it is absurd to argue, by the same rule, that education would develop in the many what nature has given only to the few. Education may perfect the shoot, but cannot plant the seed of genius. Those who would make mechanics and artisans classical scholars, or invest cooks and kitchen-maids with drawing-room ac cpmplishments, are not social reformers, hut social revolu tionists. They would destroy law and order, and disturb the peace of society rather than consolidate it. Servants 'who acquire a superficial knowledge of what they are not qualifieu, cr nractise, arc them selvpo oeldom satftfied with their own situation in life, anti seldom satisfy those whom they engage to serve. Even so with young people who beguile themselves on another subject--a reliance on others, instead of on them selves. The poor mechanic who has learned to read and write and to do a little in vulgar fractions, and who com placently believes himself to be a man of letters, is no more an object of self-delusion than that youth who places his trust in the reputed wealth of friend or relative, either for his own permanent advancement, or for a position of future independence. The simple circumstance of a lad being blessed with wealthy or independent parents cannot, in itself be a misfortune, although a greater misfortune can scarcely befal a youth than to make his own knowledge of such wealth or independence an excuse for inactivity or idleness. This declaration is founded on personal obser vation. I look around me for the old and middle-aged men, who nearly forty years ago played—with the writer— their youthful parts in the house of Fountain, Pillar, and Branch. What were the prospects of those young men then? What is the position of these old men now? Of about two-thirds of the staff, lam unable to speak. We are either separated by death, divided by country, or lost to memory through change of occupation, or change of appear ance. But one-third, or about seven of my warehouse com panions are still before me. Three of the number are not only independent, but very wealthy men—one of them a mil lionaire. The remaining four are anything but inde pendent. One is, or rather was a few weeks since, in the wine trade, and has, in his time, been in a 'variety of other trades; another—a fine grey-headed, well-educated, old man—is canvasser and collector for the proprietors of a metropolitan publication ; another is in a very small, but has been in a very large way of business ; and the last of the number is often recognised at the corner of a certain street in the city. He never fails to recognise any old friend or acquaintance, of whom he is ever ready to receive anything in the shape of a gratuity, from sixpence to a sovereign. NEW ZEALAND. In 1855 the European population of New Zealand was only about 60,000. At present it is probably rather under than -over 120,000, while the terrritorial extent of the country is somewhat greater than that of Great Britain and Ireland, or only 50,000 acres less than the whole of Great Britain and Ireland, with all the adjacent isles—as New Zealand contains 78,300,480 acres, Here, then, is one of the finest colonies, if not the finest colony in the world, with a population smaller than that of a good-sized English town, and with square acres as many as those of England, Ireland, and Scotland together. The climate of the colony is as superior to that of Australia as are the Maories or natives of New Zealand compared with the emaciated and inanimate aborigines of the golden region. In Australia, however, the native race will soon become extinct. Even the Maories of New Zealand—the finest native race of darkies in the world —are decreasing in number every year, although the decrease is much less rapid than with the Australian native. The present Maori population of New Zealand is about 50,000. Like other native races in countries where Euro peans have permanently settled, the New Zealanders will no doubt in the course of time—say 50 or 100 hundred years I —become nearly if not entirely extinct. At present there is room to accommodate at least 25,000.000 European I settlers, although the colony does not contain the two hun dredth part of that number. I once either read a prediction or heard it predicted that " New Zealand would at some future period become the Great Britain of the southern hemishere," Although I have but little faith in modern prophets and prophecies, I confess myself sufficiently credulous to accept and believe in the above prediction as an exception to the rule. Comparatively little known as she is at present, New Zealand will, no doubt, some day become an important and populous country, if not a great nation. She has all the elements to warrant suck an opinion and to justify such a belief. With a fine„ if not the finest Climate in the world, the colony has every corresponding advantage. Though the object of this work to say more she cannot, at present, boast of extensive golds fields fully developed, like those of Australia, a treasure more valuable and inexhaustible may be found in the periodical riches of her soil.

STAMPED ....sd. TILE CIVIL .WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Special Cbrresponclene of the Times.) WASHINGTON, MARCH 25. To-day General M'Dowell reviewed his corps d'armee, consisting of upwards of 30,000 infantry, 62 guns, and a few squadrons of cavalry, in the neighbourhood of Alexandria, previous to their em barcation on the great expedition destined, it is be lieved, to act against Richmond. The Commander in- Chief of the Army of th? Potomac was, with his staff, upon the ground, but did not take the salute, and left the command to General M'Dowell. Colonel Rowan, R.A., Colonel Neville, Scots Fusi leer Guards, Lieutenant-Colonel Fletcher, of the same regiment, and Mr. Conway Seymour, who happened to be present, were received by General M'Clellan and General Wllowell with much courtesy and attention ; the impression pro duced upon their minds was, on the whole, exceedingly favourable ; partly owing, perhaps, to the idea they had formed of this great volunteer army, and partly in consequence of the undeniably good physical . properties of the troops.' Neverthe less,- it would be futile to conceal the deficiencies of that army. There is, for example, General M'Dowell, an officer of the regular army, accom plished, well instructed, and acquainted with the duties of a leader, surrounded by a number of young gentlemen very earnest, gallant, and hard working, but ignorant for the most part of the proper duties of staff offieers. The attempts made with some success to furnish an adequate number of staff officers to the various divisions of comman ders have encountered bitter opposition in Congress, and in the case of Gen. M'Clellan the disposition of some members to forget what he has done, and:to remember what he has not done, NJ as shown with great acrimony. In the main there has been a feel ing of consideration and trust evinced towards men who have done nothing at all which entitled men who have done something to great forbearance. The General officers of the American army know its defects ; the people do not. The publication of General Beauregard's report has satisfied them that their soldiers had won the victory when the retrograde movement on the right, caused by Johnson's arrival; changed the for tune of the day, and, forgetting the deficiencies of their own countrymen arrayed in arms against them, they imagined that their army was equal to one of the well-organised and well-trained armies of the great European Pciwers. No doubt, they might become so in a campaign or so, if the money lasted, and if the means of employment were so much diminished by war that men would willingly enter the service even under reduced pay. As it is, there is a very considerable restriction of the rights of the citizen in the person of the citizen soldier, which promises well for the success of any experi ment that may be made on the persons, purses, or prerogatives of the people: For instance, there has been issued recently, I am told, an order to prevent the soldiers of the Army of the Petomao writing home to their friends. Whether the order is governed by certain rules, or is unrestricted, lam not able to affirm. It certainly seems an extraordinary thing for the volunteer soldiers of that nation which declares itself to be the freest in the world to be forbidden to communicate with their homes, The American mind, accustomed to bow to the force of the majority, recognises, per haps, in ‘.‘ General Order No. 1" of the military chief, the utterance 'of the whole popular voice, and the citizen becomes at once as mute and submissive as Private Tompski, of the Pauloffski Regiment. The exercise of power is practically unrestricted in the Executive of a Republic provided the Govern ment has armed force and a majority of the repre sentatives of the people at ita back; the rights of the minority then cease immediately to exist. No exposition of democratic force more vigorous, power ful, and irrepressible than the press of the United States could have been conceived, and it is certainly not easy to imagine any agency more potent than that by which it has been virtually suppressed in the exercise of the functions which a free press dis charges in less favoured countries. The War De partment has forbidden the transmission of any despatches by telegraph which can convey any in formation to the enemy. It is impossible for editor, correspondent, or publisher to define what the word " information" may mean. They have not even the benefit of a warning. To this remarkable negation of the rights of a newspaper in communi cating news is now added a still more remarkable repression. The Postmaster-General has issued orders to prevent any newspaper in which a forbid den telegram has appeared to be forwarded by post thenceforth ; and there are now a number of editors trembling under fear of arrest. The " idea" of the war for the Union is, in fact, far stronger than the idea for which any monarchy or imperial rower in Europe ever contended. These attacks on the privileges of the press are made by the Executive immediately after reports of Committees of Congress censuring the censorship of the press itself, and debates in both Houses in which such interference has been strongly deprecated. "We are a law abiding people," exclaim the citizens of the United States ; it may be said they are " a no-law-abiding people" too, because they are content in this fight for the Union to part with all but what is called salus populi. It may be they will submit to the taxation which is inevitable, and may submit, after the deputations of vested interests have been de feated, to contribute out of their pockets directly to the expenses of this war for their great idea. The other day, in riding through the deserted camps, where hosts of petty pilferers were engaged in plundering whatever they could take out of the tents, our party came upon a sutler's store on a bleak common, in which the proprietor was still resi dent. On entering, we found two soldiers, one sick with fever, consequent upon the march to Manassas, the other a stout Canadian, who had entered upon the service of Uncle Sam. The sutler, an intelligent, keenwitted man, who had travelled in Europe, told us some curious things respecting the class differ ences of the American officers in regard to messing and other matters of the kind. Officers from the town do not, according to him, agree with officers from the country. There is in the Republican army a sense of social distinction which is not found in the aristocratic armies of Europe. If the Guards were called upon to mess with the officers of some regiments, whose local exposure and condition might cause them to be considered un regiment condamne, they would probably object to it; but among them selves the officers are all equal. Here it is not so. The Canadian soldier did not take a cheerful view of his pecuniary advantages, but he evidently had been spoiled by eating, drinking, and " piping times of peace." " Why !" exclaimed he, in reply to one of the party, " what's thirteen dollars a month? It ain't enough for a man to live on ! Who is going to eat them crackers and bad meat all his life? And what's thirteen dollars to a man who has to got hi s b oo t s , an d b u y some thing to eat and drink now and then ?" The liberal pay given to the Amer i can soldier is not, in fact, adequate to his i mag inary wants. things The best fed soldier in the world , he desir es rstu, manisdsiounrse, come to his relief , and a system has been a d opted that no commissariat could supply The sutlers, and which who are set upon by Act of Con regulated by all sorts of Boards and Commissions, e which works wonderfully m awell,nation of the ingenuity mar be tv considered as an w hi c h invented the Treasury paper and certifi cates o f indebtedness." The sutlers keep a sort of checkbook and a ledger, and are permitted to issue checks to each soldier to the extent of one half of his monthly p a y . On the approval of the captain of his compan— y these checks are receiv able in payment for articles in the sutler's store and are paid off from the soldier's bimonthly ac count by the paymaster. The man to whom we were speaking told us he had not received anylPaY for h t--ree months, or, in other words, that his two .„-...,z1VA- r . r' 1.: - ' l -.°, 1 . i, ':,,;._ .Y):. ...,..., ~,.. % months' pay was a month over du, -Ite,4;:f could go on, becaus© he could get h. /, 4 , .... s it i \ t / the sutler trusted the paymaster. .:-_ iii.- S It must be the age of paper in the Confederatre States. Here specie is supposed to be in suspension, and one can detect the precious metal now and then 'in a dull precipititle7buffliettonfederates have paper which would not " plaster the shins of a snipe." I !send over a specimen —a 10-cent. note which I !bought in Baltimore from an itinerant hawker boy named Feeney in the streets far far more than its nominal value. Engraved in green, on a piece of flimsy paper supported at the back by "stiffening" of white paper, pasted to keep it together, are the word " Winchester," a representation of a sheaf of corn and agricultural implements, then "June 21,, .1861; N 3. 5,177 ;" " the Bank of Winchester, 10 cents., payable in bank-notes by the' Treasure:7 to bearer on presentation of these due bills in Sens Of 5 dollars." Signed, "`— Cofforth ; J. R. liovvent I: resident." On the light-hand side are the wu.' ,1 .4 " Ten Cents," engraved at right angles, and there 'f' an engraving of a hunter at th opposite side, and the numerals " H." The date alone is most signi ficant. The Confederate prisoners have biteight in plenty of this money with them, and the little, ragged capitalists like my friend buy or get it from them, and sell it to the curious. Since the advance of the Federals into Virginia some large orders have been sent into Baltimore, backed by gold which was hoarded, and I am informed that the people will not take the notes of banks in the slave States at any price. There is no further news in reference to the battle outside Winchester, but the Secessionists maintain that they were not so severely beaten as is represented, and that the Federals w ere ver y severely handled. They have a strong b e li e f i n some signal success of their forces at Acquia Creek, and it is believed in Baltimore that Johnson has captured several th-asands of the Union forces ; some say 7,000. But not one word about it could I hear at Washington. It was in consequence of this success that Johnson telegraphed to Jackson to at tack the Federalists at Winchester, and create a. diversion. But Shields resisted stoutly, repulsed the enemy, and, being reinforced by regiments and guns from Bankes, whose forces were marching to wards Manassas from Winchester, inflicted on them considerable loss, both in men, arms, and prestige, in the pursuit which followed. There is a Cimmerian darkness over the land as to facts and news. Editors and correspondents dare not strike a lucifer in it for fear of Lafayette, Warren, or M'Henry. But the secrecy which envelopes Fortress Monroe is the most profound. I should like to know the popular ideas at this moment respecting the whereabouts of Gen. M'Clellan. He is at his quarters near the Semi nary, Alexandria, directing the embarkation of the troops. I was assured by the best authorities the other day that he was at Fortress Monroe, and numerous other localities have been assigned to him. On Wednesday I left Washington in company of an English officer, who was anxious to visit a friend of his on board her Majesty's ship Rinaldo, now lying off Fortress Monroe. On applying for passes, how ever, we were informed that orders had been re ceived from the War Department not to permit any person whatever to go down by the steamer unless he were engaged on duty and in the ser vice of the United States, and all attempts to get down to the ship were unsuccessful. A Baltimore acquaintance suggested a plan by which the trip could be effected ; but, as it would have been done in a clandestine manner, it was re jected. Now, surely this is rather hard. British subjects are refused leave to go down friendly waters to visit a British man-of-war. What would Americans say if they were treated in a similar manner by the authorities in France or England ? At the same time, it must be confessed that the military authorities and the United States officers are exceedingly courteous to the British officers who are visiting Washington and the camps. It is admitted by the Secessionists of Baltimore themselves that Gen. Dix wears a silk glove on his iron hand. Yesterday Gen. INPClellan, hearing there were some officers in Washington who had not seen the review of the day but one previous, sent over an invitation to them to come out to Alexandria, where a review of 15,000 men, 42 guns, and a few horse were specially prepared for them by Gen. M'Dowell. Lord Lyons and the members of the Le gation were also invited, and were present. Gen. INl'Clellan and Gen. M'Dowell paid every attention to their visitors, who were charmed with their cour tesy. They rode up and down the lines, took the post of honour at the march past, received the salute, and were, in fact, treated with an attention which was very graceful and conspicuous. The fine physical properties of the men made an impres sion on our officers, which was increased by their very great and unexpected "steadiness." The latter quality has been much dwelt upon by military visitors to the American camps recently. Gen. M'Dowell has not yet embarked, and but a small portion of the great corps d'armce are yet on board. " Island No. 10" is still holding out , and the born bardment as yet is a failure. Commodore Foote had 11,000 13-inch and other shells when he sailed, and cannot have got through any large quantity of his stock as yet, but his firing has been reduced to a minimum. The fact is his vessels are not fitted for their work. The gunboats with broadside guns cannot be brought to bear on the forts. Then, again, the heavy guns were placed in the bows, and the lighter guns were put in the stern, but it has been found necessary to go down the stream stern foremost as soon as the boats get in range, owing to the great rapidity of the waters of the Missis sippi, which are now unusually high and overflow ing their banks. Thus, the weaker armament is opposed to the enemy. Again, the mortar .boats yaw and wabblo about in the current, and it is not possible to anchor them or the gunboats steadily. Besides, it is not easy to shell small works at such great ranges, although a city might be laid in ruins by the fire. Until the land forces co-operate, then, the progress of the flotilla may be successfully resisted, and if the Confederates repulse the Federals a serious disaster and a great derangement of the plan of the campaign may ensue. There is no news from New Orleans beyond the arrival of Porter's flotilla at Passe a l'Outre, one of the mouths of the Mississippi. Every moment may bring the news of a victory if the Federals gain the advantage. When the silence is long know what has happened. People who reflect are beginning to get frightened at the complete subju gation of popular rights, and the despotism. which exer cise has ceased.
