RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. OTTOMAN (SUYRNA TOAIDIN). A special general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the City Terminus Hotel, Can non-street, to consider the heads of an arrangement for the payment of the debentures and debts of the company ; Sir Macdonald Stephenson, the chair man, presided. The Secretary having read the notice convening the meeting, The CIIALIZMAN said they were convened to hold first a special, and afterwards the adjourned gene ral meeting. The subject for consideration was the practical business question of what was best for the interests of the shareholder:, and this question re solved itself under two heads----viz., the arrange ment to be adopie 1 for the apf.lication of the gu t rantee to the payment of the debts and engag ..ments of this company, and the advantages or disadvan tages of superseding the Board of Directors by a new board, in accordance with certain resolutions, of which Mr. Fardell had given notice, which would constitute the business of the special meeting. All the board required was that the decision of the pro prietors should be definite and final. He then called upon Mr. Fardell to bring forward the reso lutions of which he had given notice. Mr. LEWIS stated that at the last general meet- ing a comparison of the weekly statements of traffic on the Ottoman Railway with the monthly state ments showed a serious discrepancy. The aggre gate weekly receipts for January last amounted to £3,571, and for the four weeks in February to £2,912 ; but the monthly statements in the report showed that instead of being £3,571 in January, the actual receipts were £2,379 only, showing a difference of £1,250, and instead of being £2,912 in February, they were £2,370 only, show ing a deficiency of £540, making together £l,BOO. He concluded by moving that the present special general meeting be adjourned until the close of the adjourned general meeting. Captain WELLS seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN declined to put the motion. He said he had called upon Mr. Fardell to bring for ward his motion ; he had not done so, and there fore he would not place the directors in a false po sition until it was ascertained whether the directors were right or wrong. The special meeting required was now being held, and he challenged Mr. Fardell to support his allegations. (llear, hear.) Mr. LEWIS rose to a point of order, amid consi derable uproar and cries of " Chair, chair." He pro tested against proceeding with the special business until the adjourned ordinary business was disposed of. He said as the chairman had refused to put the motion for adjournment, he would advise every one present to leave the room. Upon which Mr. Lewis left the room, followed by about a dozenother share holders. The CITAIIMAN said he would then proceed with the special meeting. He could only lament the course adopted. He would very much regret that any share holder should for one moment be misled by what had been so industriously circulated, verbally and in writing, into the impression that there was any single point upon which the board could not give the fullest and most satisfactory explanation. Mr. G. SMITH said there was no motion before the meeting. He thought the course adopted by Mr Lewis was very judicious, and he hoped the business would now be allowed to proceed. The CHAIRMAN said the next question they had to consider was the heads of arrangement recommended by the board, as the result of several mouths' discus sion of a variety of plans by the committees of the first and second bondholders and by shareholders, one of whom was Mr. Fardell. This plan, with a case prepared and approved by all parties, Mr. Fardell included, was submitted to the Attorney- General and Mr. C. Clark, and by them approved as the legitimate and proper application of the gua ranteed interest, and such an application of it as the Court of Chancery would be likely to comirrn in the event of any individual dissents. The adoption of the arrangement was the sole condition on which the Board were enabled to arrest the actions at law and suits commenced against the company, which would undoubtedly be renewed if the conditions were not observed. The results of the adoption of the course recommended would be that the first de bentures would be paid off, principal and interest, by the end of 1872 ; the second debentures (sinking fund being duly provided) woald have all arrears of interest paid by the end of 1873. The shareholders were to receive interest at 31 per cent. from the Ist of January, 1866, to the end of 1873, and the share and debenture holders would receive full interest at 6 per cent. from the Ist of January, 1874. He then moved a resolution that the heads of arrangement submitted to and approved by the meeting on the lbth of July last, with the clause relative to the share interest, and with the addition to clause 10 of the words " by tender or," be adopted. Mr. A. DU - AUX seconded the motion, and it was carried. Mr. LYSLEY said be held 400 shares in the com pany, and had no other interest than to protect his property. He entirely disapproved the action taken, as he thought improperly, by a section of the share holders, and concluded by moving, " That this meet ing hereby records its unqualified disapproval of the course pursued by the so-called ' Shareholders' Pro tection Society,' especially in memorialising the Ottoman Government, and earnestly deprecates any further action whatever on their part." Capt. HOLLAND seconded the motion. Mr. Moßpas said he was a large shareholder in the company, and having acted with the first bond holders' committee he was well acquainted with all the facts of the case, and could assure the meeting that from an interview he had had with three mem bers of the so-called Protective Society privately there was no ground whatever for their opposition ; there was not a single point they urged against the proposed arrangement that was worth anything. The resolution was then carried unanimously. The special meeting was then declared at an end, and the adjourned ordinary meeting commenced. The CHAIRMAN remarked that those gentlemen who had not deposited their shares prior to the meeting of which this was an adjournment could not vote. lle then read the report of the Finance Committee on the alleged discrepancy in the traffic returns complained of by Mr. Lewis, The directors had provided and shipped additional rolling stock, and all the duplicate parts, new wheels, tires, stores, and materials necessary to place the whole of the engines in perfect working order. lie then moved the adoption of the report and statement of accounts. Mr. LEWIS contended that the meeting required further time to consider the explanation of the corn mittee as to the discrepancy of the accounts. Mr. COLEMAN, a director, assured the meeting that the explanation was perfectly clear; the weekly traffic receipts were as stated in the returns, but deductious for commission, hire of camels, &c., were made from the weekly receipts at the end of the month. Mr. 11. CLARKE said he believed there was a dis crepancy in the traffic receipts for the month of June last of £l,OOO. Mr. LEIVIS moved as an amendment that the meeting be adjourned for a month. The amendment, on a show of hands, was nega tived, and the motion for the adoption of the report was carried. A poll was demanded, scrutineers were appointed, and the poll was to be taken fro:n 11 to 1 to-day, and from 11 to 1 on Wednesday, when the result would be declared. COSTA RICA. Railroads to connect the Atlantic with the Pacific seem rapidly to be growing in favour. Simul taneously two new ones are started in Central America, President Jose Maria Medina authorises the construction of a line through Honduras, and a loan is brought out on the London market for £1,000,000 to effect the purpose. If we may judge from the flourishing prospectus, and the high pre mium at which the bonds are quoted, this loan has been a success. We learn by late news from N e w York that Jose Maria Castro, President of the Republic of Costa Rica, has issued a (1 cree with reference to the Costa Rica Railroad Company, which we give below. The San Francisco Bulletin says that the line is in the hands of Americans, and that an Eastern firm has a contract for the first section, from Paccuare, on the Pacific side, to the interior. Two of its members were at San Jose, waiting for the chief engineer to complete the survey from ocean to ocean. The line will hardly reach 200 miles, but the interior is very mountainous and difficult to penetrate, but still we believe feasible. The Hon duras line will be 230 miles from the Bay of Fon seca on the Pacific, Puerto Cabalos on the Atlantic. The danger of these enterprises lies in their being overdone. The Panama Railroad is a success, but will all be successful when half-a-dozen are con structel ? " J., Jose Castro, President of the Republic of Co.;ta Riel—By virtue of the authority conferred upon the Executive by the law of November 9,1865, and in consideration of the fact, that work has been actually commenced upon the Inter Oceanic Rail road. Hereby decree : Art. 1. The Bay of Limon is from this day open to all trade, foreign and coasting, as the principal port of the Republic on the Atlantic Coast. " Art. 2. Vessels, under friendly or neutral flag, coming from whatever port, may enter or export merchandise of all descriptions, excepting those actually prohibited, or may warehouse or transship the same with all freedom, subject to such regula tions as may hereafter be issued. 4 4 Art. 3. All vessels anchoring in the harbour of Limon are free from all charges of tonnage, an chorage, port dues, or custom-house fees of every kind. " Art. 4. As soon as the Costa Rica Railroad Company has constructed its piers and warehouses no customs duties shall be levied on any articles intended for consumption in the Republic unti after they have left the piers and warehouses. " Art. 5. The Secretary of the Navy will issue the necessary orders for the prompt transfer of the authorities and public buildings from Mein to the new port of Limon. " Given in the National Palace, San Jose, Sept 20th, 1867. "JOSE MARIA CASTRO. " The Secretary of the Interior, A. Esquivel." (From the Wall-Street Journal.) The first meeting of the Boston and Albany Rail road Company, formed by the consolidation of the Boston and Worcester and the Western Railroads, was held in Boston, on October 21. Judge B. F. Thomas presided, and the following gentlemen were chosen directors :—Chester W. Chapin, Josiah Stickney, Ignatius Sargent, James D. Colt, Daniel Denny, Ginery Twichell, D. Waldo Lincoln, and William Claffin. A list of byelaws was adopted, ordered to be printed, and the clerk instructed to send a copy to each stockholder. THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.—Ground was broken on October 15 on the southern branch of the Union Pacific Railroad at Junction City, Kan sas. Appropriate speeches were made by Colonel Goss, president of the road, the Mayor of Junction City, and others. A banquet was given in the evening by the city authorities, at which Major- General Grierson, General Blunt, ex-Governor Carney, Colonel Shomaker, and others spoke. The work will be pushed forward vigorously. A sur veying party, under Major Beach, left Fort Gibson on the following day to begin work on that part of the road. RAILROAD PROJECTS IN MAINE.—The various railroad enterprises in Maine are progressing finely. The survey of the Knox and Lincoln Road will be commenced shortly. The Board of Directors have been ehosen, of which Oliver Moses, of Bath, is President. 'The total amount of subscription has reached nearly $400,000. The Eastern terminus o: this road is at Rockland, and the Western at Bath. Already one survey of the Belfast and Moose- head Lake Road has been made as far as New port, and another survey is in progress which is to intersect the first survey about ,twenty miles this side of Newport. The survey of the Ban gor and Piscataquis Road will be entered upon in about three weeks. It will go to Dover, con necting at Milford. This road, as well as the pre ceding one, penetrates a region rich in material re sources. the line from tide-water at Winterport to Bangor, the necessary link to give Bangor a winter outlet, 11A8 ben subjected to a preliminary reconnoissance.. The work of laying a portion of the track on the European and North American Road will be shortly commenced at Bangor, and it is expected that the road to Milford will be open to the public before many months. Grading ou the Dexter and Newport Road is rapidly approaching completion, and the work of laying the rails will, be commenced before many weeks. The survey of the Portland and Ogdensburg Road is going forward with activity. The energy and spirit with which these various subjects are characterised promises an early success. THE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD.—The United States Commissioners have completed the inspection of the section of the Central Pacific Railroad west of Cisco. They carefully examined the grades, cul verts, bridges, &c., which they pronounce to be twenty-five per cent. better constructed than any portion of the road before accepted. Over this section already four miles of roofing had been com pleted, and two and a half miles of additional roof ing will be built this fall. After a thorough inspec tion the commissioners unanimously recommended the Government to accept the road. The corn= missioners next commence:a primary inspection of the road two miles east of Cisco. From Coburg's Station cars are running eastward eight and one half miles ; and construction trains are laying the track at the rate of a mile and a half daily. In thirty days the section will be completed. The in termediate section over the summit will not be finished for transportation purposes until early in the spring, although the company expect to lay the track before winter. By August next cars will be running to Tuckee River, near Crystal PeAk, while a considerable portion of the road will be graded to wards llumboldt. The Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad Company completed, on the 15th of September, the connect i❑g link between what was formerly known as the M'Gregor Western and the Minnesota Central Railroads. Regular trains of cars will commence running over this line from M'Gregor to Minnea polis and St. Paul on the Ist of November. The completion of this link connects the Minnesota sys tem of railroads with the East, and trains of cars can now run by connected rail, via Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad, from the city of New York as far north-westerly as St. Cloud, in Minnesota, about 1,500 miles. There is now a continuous railroad communica tion between Chicago and St. Paul. The last rail in the chai❑ was laid at Adams, Mower County, Minnesota, on Monday. The distances by the new route are as follows :—Chicago to Prairie du Chien, 235 miles; Prairie du Chien to St. Paul, 482 miles. OMAHA, Oct. 28.—The five hundredth mile of the Union Pacific Railroad was made yesterday, and 17 miles more will carry the track to Che yenne, at the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains. The difference in the settlement of the accounts of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Company, the for mer being the lessee of the latter, was brought to a conclusion October 29. The amount in dispute was originally $1,400,000. Committees of the respec tive companies have been negotiating the matter for nine months, and their conclusion has at length been accepted as mutually satisfactory. By the terms of settlement the Pennsylvania Company become 3, next to the City, the largest stockholder in the Philadelphia and Erie Company. Tlic " Allegheny Valley Railroad " i 3 nearly completed, and trains will run on it about the middle of November. RAILROAD ENTERPRISE IN CONNECTICUT.— A number of railroad enterprises, which promise to be of great advantage to Connecticut, are being pushed just now with an earnestness that indicates success. The great Air Line route, which shortens the dis tance between New York and Boston twenty-seven miles, is only retarded by a Hartford opposition that cannot long prevent the consummation of the enterprise. It is the most important route in the State which is yet unbuilt. On Friday the citizens of Middletown voted, in town meeting, by 371 yeas to 92 nays, to loan the road $200,000, and this vote, it is said, will secure the construction of the road from the New Haven depot to the east bank of the Connecticut at ik lid- THE SUN, LONDoN, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1867. dletown, where it will wait the action of the next Legislature, for permission to cross the river and proceed on its way to Willimantic and Boston. The Boston and Erie Railroad has also made a strong point during the last week, by securing a union with the Erie Railroad by the election of its own president to be president of that company, and the guarantee of its bonds to the amount of four millions of dollars. This ought to insure the con tinuation of the Boston and Erie from Waterbury to Newburgh, and its connection with the Erie, thus opening a new route through Western Con necticut, and developing the resources of Litchfield County. The Connecticut Western from Springfield to Collinsville, and thence to the Hudson, is said to be in strong hands, and the extension of the Col linsville branch of the Canal Road to Lee and North Adams, Massachusetts, is regarded as almost certain. These two latter enterprises will be of mutual benefit to the Canal Railroad, and will draw a large trade to New Haven that now seeks a mark et elsewhere. English contractors have taken the job of build ing a railroad from Indianola, Texas, to San Anto nio, and will begin work at once. Ibis road will be a great benefit to Western Texas.

He concludes with the following gentle hint : " Finally, if the interest due the State, or a rea sonable portion of it, is not met at the time required by law, I shall certainly appoint receivers on all defaulting roads. The interest upon the State debt must be paid, and the credit of the State must be upheld, and this can only be done by those compa nies paying up their honest dues.

The San Francisco Mining and Scientific Press says :—" Quartz appears to be the rage at present in the vicinity of Auburn, Placer County. The most exciting development is that of the " Pete Walters." This ledge was located some two years ago, but no free metal was discovered until the 4th of July last, when, at the depth of 28 feet, it was found to be exceedingly rich in free gold. Mr. Walters has since sunk two more shafts, making three in all—the first, 28; the second, 35 ; and the third and last, 48 feet in depth. The ore gradually becomes richer, until, at the bottom of the richest shaft, it is apparently one-third gold ! A drift is being run to con nect the three shafts—the whole covering a line of about 150 feet on the ledge. Mr. Walters has taken out about po,ooo up to August last. One day's work yielded him as high as 450 ounces. His labouring force consists of only four men, while his mechanical aad machine power is still less, viz., a 1-stamp battery, or, in other words, a hand mortar. Said ledge is about eighteen inches in width, and bids fair to continue rich. Colonel Iloldredge, backed by prominent Eastern capitalists, is pros pecting a number of ledges, said to promise well. The colonel is sanguine of success, feeling confi dent that Auburn and vicinity abounds in good pay ore." The following is from an Austin (Nevada) cor respondent of the lf all-Street Journal:— The Reese River "bubble" has bursted, but from some strange and wonderful cause the com- position, instead of floating away, remains piled up in view of all who wish to see ! Our mines have never looked better than they do to day, and at the present writing every available mill is running, and still the ore increases instead of diminishing at the dumps. One is fairly astounded to stroll among the mines on Lander-hill at finding men on each mound, and two or three in each Ore-house, assorting ore, that is knocking off the granite from the quartz, while new and richer discoveries are being daily made in the deeper mines, and those who have but lately actually commenced to develope their properties are flushed at their great success. The South America has been operating but a very short time, yet they have had several tons of ore reduced, which returned nearly $2OO per ton, and at present employ three men for assorting. They have run their levels off until the breasts are some 80ft. One of the miners, whose only interest was his $1 per day, informed me that in a few days this mine would be able to produce fifteen tons of ore per day, which would average $2OO. The Plymouth Company have tapped a fine large vein in their straight shaft containing ore which will just about pay expenses for mining and milling. The company are still carrying on their sinking, but will soon start levels back for the vein, when, having attained greater depth, richer ore will be found. The Savannah Company have purchased a don key engine, and will be in full blast again about the 4th inst. The spot has been selected for the com pany's shaft, which will be commenced in a few days. I look for a fine return from this mine by the latter part of this month. The Great Eastern are extracting large quantities of exceeding rich ore once more. Some of their first class is being culled out and piled away. This will be worked separately, I presume, and will produce at the mill very nearly, if not quite, $l,OOO per ton. The Timoke Company find no difficulty in sup plying the Long Island mill. To be sure it is only five stamps, but it is situated in town, and anything getting out of order can be repaired immediately, and thus the battery kept constantly at work. There are a great many little conveniences about this mill, and it is far in advance of any five-stamp arrangement in the country. When the Timoke get through with it, J. R. Murphy informs me he will use it to manipulate his tailings from the Cali fornia mill. The Savage Company have again found good ore, and are hauling to the California mill, which is at present at work on Florida ore of a high grade. The Troy Company are assorting their ore, saving every pound that will pay for milling. It is a " penny-wise-and-pound-foolish principle " to assort too closely, as the mass being pay ore and ❑o more, reduces the whole so much that the com pany will realise little or nothing from it. I think a miner would have no difficulty in making this a paying mine in a very short time. h is on the N. Y. S. M. Company's properties, and should be bringing them iu something handsome. However they will see the point in time, and do better. The Magnolia Company does not appear to be doing much lately, owing no doubt to the trouble between the Superintendent and the officers, grow ing out of the application for a Government title, which I hope will be quickly settled. The Diana is filled to overflowing with rich ore. They had a large lot at the Parrot Mill awaiting its turn when that mill burned. They have kept a team constantly hauling to the Metacom, still the ore house is kept full, and no signs of failure below in the mine. This is the showing Lauder Hill makes to-day, or rather a portion of it. There are but two properties to my knowledge situated on the Hill seeking capital in your city, and both are centrally located in the rich belt. The Fuller has produced several thousand dollars over all expenses incurred, and will eith ar, with or with out the aid they seek, resume labour soon, and, with that mine to work, means to pay. General Page has the title to what is known as the Irvine property, situated between the Manhattan mines and Diana, consisting of three veins, Washington Irvine, Irvine No. 2, and Eaglets. The first is a very large vein, but being located. early in 1863 the developments on it were prosecuted on the ridge, instead of the slope by an incliike, no levels having been run from it. The ore will produce about $lO per ton, with no culling, and - Caere is no doubt that a level less than 100 feet on either side would de velope very rich ore. A few feet below lies the No. 2, from which large assays !lave been obtained, proving coneusively that the veins are not excep tions to the general rule on the hill. The Eaglet is still below, and has produced ore working $lBO per ton. Since Page started, it is found that one of our mines producing rich ore in quantity is working on one of these, and the owner has been approached for the purpose of purchasing, but his title being with Page he can do nothing. These mines are admirably situated for a straight shaft, which would also cut the Savage and Morgan and Muncey Mines between the last two veins, and will be about the last opportunity for a shaft location in the rich belt. Lander Hill is now producing ore faster than our present capacity for reduction. It is thought the Manhattan can be fully supplied with ore from their own mines and the Great Eastern. The Timoke runs one and the Diana another, leaving all the others to the California. The Boston Mill, if al.. terations were made reducing expense of mill, could be kept constantly full, and before spring both the Midas and Keystone might be added to the list. There is some talk of starting the New York and Lander Mill and Mine, but my impression is they will not do much ; their mine is really good, but their mill is not considered a mill here. The Centenary Mill started up a few days since. J. M. Dawley went out to start it ; he informs me that it is a fine mill, and everything works beauti fully. The Hot Creek Mill is doing a fine business, with plenty of ore. Colonel Buel is with us once more, looking finely. In his report to the Paris Committee he states that our cabinet was by far the best in Europe ; that scientific men were so well pleased with it that a great many expressed their intention of coining to the locality where it was found. Buel will return to Europe and open several offices in the large cities, with the view to interest capitalists in the mines of Eastern Nevada. His cabinet contains ore from nearly all the different districts, and, when taken i❑ connection with the map, will give a fair idea of the extent of country filled with rich veins. True, mining has ceased to be a speculation, and needs only good judgment to become remunerative, and more so than almost any other branch of legitimate business. To prove this assertion, I have requested and obtained a few facts regarding one of the veins on Lander-hill, and take the figures below from the " agent's books." I allude to the Florida Mine of the New York and Austin Silver Mining Company. When Major Sherman took charge of this property it was not more promising than any of the thou sand and one others in the country ; but he used, as part of the capital, energy, perseverance, and sound sense. During one year, ending July 31st of the present year, the total expenses of the mine, in cluding everything, were $84,104 37. In that time, from a non-productive razor-blade, he ex tracted and shipped to the company bullion to the amount of $77,446 11, leaving a balance of $6,658 26 against the mine. Then he developed the mine in levels, drifts, and inclines, to the extent of at least 1,000 feet, which cost and is to-day worth $lO per foot, or $40,000. The buildings, office, machinery, &e., actual real estate—tax able property of the company—are worth, at a low estimate (I consider it very low, indeed), $lB,OOO, making a total of $58,000 in round numbers. Now, deduct from this the $6,000, and we find that the company have realised a clear profit of $52,000 ; and to-day, in place of the undeveloped " razor blade," they have a developed mine of immense value, proven to be so beyond a peradventure. I ' may in a future letter carry this on from July to date and include their other property —some twenty ' five other mines now being developed by the Sher man and Burns shafts ; their new and powerful machinery lately purchased, and other real estate which they will possess, even should the mine go no further (which is absurd), there is ore in sight sufficient to produce at a fair estimate $lOO,OOO. This mine, taken without connection wiLli the other company's property and outside business, so to speak, has paid upward of 40 per cent. on the working capital expended. Yet many claim that mining is not a legitimate business, but at the best a hazardous, adventurous speculati on . I would assure all such of their mistake. Secure a man to manage your mine who has exp er i ence an d good judgment, and you will succeed if it is in the mine ; if it is not there, you will soon be told so, and if you desire to continue searching where it is not, one of the first things you will find will be your agent's resignation, and couched in terms tunmis takable. A practical, experienced miner c an no more attempt to develope a mine not worth the t r i a l th an A V i a e n rr d i e m rb ac il k t cßouivlderr,uenxpaeclin expecting of to realise immense ferry-bo a t s on th e profits. Our bullion shipment for the past month was $164,000, and if it does not reach $300,000 in November the fault will be the lack of milling facilities. I cannot imagine why the Midas Mill is allowed to remain in state quo, as it could now be run at a profit, and must be next year, or another will be erected by its side. The keystone is still closed up, but will probably be started as soon as General Page returns, either by him or by other parties. The streets are blocked up to-day with freight teams loaded with full supplies, machinery, &c. This will last another month. The Chase Mine has got a suit for title on band, the Julian Company claiming . it. Buel North Star has not resumed labour yet, and will probably lie idle, merely keeping out the water for several weeks to come. J. R. Murphy informs me that he has purchased the California Mill. He is doing good work on a lot of Florida just through and of Savage now going through the batteries. Ware Mill is being moved to New Pass District to work gold ores. Centenary Mill is running raw or second-class ores at present, but have men at work erecting furnaces; as soon as completed they will begin on their first-class. The present ore assays . ... (pulp) from $6O to $BO. The machinery for Big Smoky Mill is all here, and work will no w be carried on vigorously. Belmont Mills is going ahead slowly. Overland Mail of late is running regularly in about fourteen days from here to New York. E. S. Davis, Register of United States Land Office, arrived last night. A mill is being moved from Arizona to Columbus District. The Silver Peak Company are at work again, and will now be per- manent. The First National Bank to-day declare their quarterly dividend. The Trespass of Inyo County, California, of September 30th, has the following : "Mr. Bush, a reliable gentleman, who has just returned from the Lone Pine District, gives the following description of the mines :—"The loies are bold in outcroppings, and lie north and south, pitching to the east as sunk upon. The widths of the ledges vary from 9ft. to 15ft. on the surface, with a rich vein in most of them from 9in. to 2ft in width. The Mexicans, by whom the country is principally located, work the rich vein only, smelt- ing the ores in adobe furnaces, and leaving the balance of the ledge (which by mill process will pay at least $l5O per ton) a mass of refuse quartz; or, they will gather, perhaps, three cords of wood, and build a pile, composed of alternate layers of dry pine and ore, when it will be set on fire and in a few hours be reduced to a smouldering mass, from which will be taken from 700 to 900 pounds of metal. 'This metal will in turn be taken to the adobe furnaces, and there refined, in due Aztec style, to bullion, which will in turn bear refining at the bands of competent assayers. The general cha racter of the oreis galena and antimonial silver ; the whole formation of the lodes seeming to consist of a succession of metallic boulders, until a depth of 18 to 30 feet is reached, when the casings be come perfect and vein matter - becomes fused into a solid ledge. On the ledges, particularly at the Cerro Gordo camp, a large amount of labour has been expended, and several shafts have been sunk, some as deep as 45 ft. ; but most of the work is done in the regular Mexican style—an excavation from which ten tons of ore has been taken, being ten times the size that necessity requires. All of the ore worked in the district, so far, has been by smelting process, although two or three aras tras have been constructed, and are in operation ten miles from the mines, and giving good re turns of the ore. Following are returns from ore of several mines which Mr. Bash saw worked : Saturn ore, 90Th., 41oz. bullion ; Bueno (Good Luck Co.), 100 lb. ore, 18oz. ; Mexican, 1001 b. ore, 40oz. ; San Judas, 3001 b. ore, 51oz. We were also shown some ore from the Union mine, the rich vein i❑ which is 2ft. in width, which was taken from the ledge at the depth of 30ft, and which is almost a pure mass of silver. The mines above mentioned areprominent for their richness, yet there are hundreds of ledges along the mountain that assay from $lOO to $BOO per ton. Some of the more intelligent of the Mexicans resolved to try some of the ore by mill process, and accordingly about three weeks since 7,200 lbs. of ore from the St. Lucas lode were packed to the Kearsarge raffi— a distance of 45 miles—and there worked under the supervision of Mr. Low. That quantity of ore returned by mill process 116 lbs. of bullion, which Mr. Bush saw ; and after paying all expenses for transportation, milling, and mining, returned a net profit per ton of $l9O. These statements can be relied upon as correct, notwithstanding the seem ing impossibility of so rich ore being found on the surface." The Manhattan mill when in full work broke the shaft, which has checked progress. We learn that the accident will quickly be repaired, and the mill resume work. WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE INDIANS? (From the New York Nation.) It is plain that something must be done with the Indians, and that it must be something different from anything yet done. We must have peace by some means. The frontiers must rest in security and the highways to the Pacific must be unob structed. But peace involves one of two things-- either the extermination of the Indian or his subjec tion to law and habits of industry. Extermination is a word easily said ; but to put it in execution will cost untold millions of money and a life for a life. Let it be remembered that the Indians number nearly 300,000, and it has cost $70,000 per head to kill those we have put out of the way. To many minds the work of their regeneration is an equally desperate and hopeless undertaking ; but those who are more intimately 'acquainted with the question are able to prove the contrary. The civilisation of the Indian is the easiest and cheapest as well as the only honourable means of securing peace. But if we expect to civilise the Indian, it must be attempted by more rational methods than we have heretofore used. Is it reasonable to expect re covery from disease, or a healthy growth, unless the causes of the disease are removed and the conditions of life supplied ? Nnw the prime conditions of true social order and personal well-being are wanting in Indian society. The first condition is LAW to protect person and property, to restrain crime, encourage industry, and favour such prosivity as will give the Indian more interest in peace than in war. No community can develope material prospe rity, social order, or individual character with out the protection of life and the fruits of labour. Indians are no exception to this rule, or they would be our superiors. It is a well-known fact that the Indians have no Government worthy the name. What they have is not sufficient to secure justice between man and man, nor does it even attempt it. The tribes of the Indian Territory are a partial ex ception. Nor is this state of anarchy altogether the fault of the Indians ; it has been perpetuated and made worse by the action of our own Govern ment. In many respects the relations of our Go vernment to them have made their advance in civi lisation harder instead of easier. What wonder that they have not made greater progress ? Some thing has been done by private citizens for their advancement, and it has been successful enough to prove that better things may be expected under bet ter conditions. But this is not a work for private citizens alone. The United States- Government can only supply social order by law, and until this is done benevolent efforts are as water poured out on the sand. What the Indians most need is the exten sion of our laws over them. We are responsible for not having done it before. And the law must be brought home to each individual. It must surround every man for his personal protection and restraint. It may seem needless to say this, but all our talk and action in the past has only regarded general justice and has amounted to nothing. We have gone no further than to try and control the interna tional intercourse of Indians and whites, and this in a most general way. We have not thought of controlling, or allowing any control of, Indians among themselves. But there can be no prosperity where each man is not defended against his neighbour, nor can the law have any restraining power unless it at the same time creates an interest in itself by the protection it affords. There is no great difficulty in carrying this plan into effect. We only need to treat Indians like men, treat them as we do ourselves, putting on them the same responsibilities, letting them sue and be sued, and taxing them as fast as they settle down and have anything to tax. The times are ripe for this movement. Experience has convinced us that the theory on which our Indian affairs have been administered is wrong. We have conceded a tribal sovereignty to them which has had no existence in fact, and which, had it originally existed, was of late years impossible, in view of the sovereignty of the United States. On this ground we have made treaties with them as foreign nations. Aud much of our inconsistent and seemingly treacherous deal ing with them has been more the necessary result of this vicious theory than of wilful wickedness. Not that the latter has been wanting, however. Again, our Government is itself purified of the false idea of State sovereignty, which has doubtless counte nanced the same error in regard.to the Indian tribal governments. There is now a consciousness of sove reignty in the nation whichis ready to assert its power in behalf of the general welfare ; and the progress of the nation in regard to the recognition of human rights, the exaltation of manhood for its own sake, irrespective of race, colour, or posi tion, opens the way to this work, while the methods and agencies developed by the necessities of the freedmen solve the question of ways and means. But are the Indians ready for it? Will they submit to the government of our laws ? Is it pos sible to get the wild Comanches or the terrible Sioux to come under the control of law, assume the habits and occupations of civilised life, and appeal for redress of injuries to a court of justice instead of to the war-club ? We think it is. The Indians are now, in large numbers, ready and anxious for the protection and order which our laws would bring ; and those who are now wildest and most intractable aro not beyond reach. They will be ready as soon as we. In proof of this, look at the Sioux nation ; it is the most numerous body of Indians on the Continent, and covers all lands, we may say, between the Pacific Railroad and the British line, and from the western border of lowa and Minnesota to the Rocky Mountains. It has many different tribes, going under all sorts of names ; some of them the fiercest and most dreaded Indians of the plains, and others as peaceable and tractable as the very best. What makes the difference ? Simply this : some of these tribes or bands have for fifty or sixty years been planting, more or. less, and have been greatly affected by their semi-agricultural life ; the others • are of the same stock, but their life is more roving, and in consequence wilder. But this change has all been produced in little more than half a century, and the same cause has been working changes of late years among the indiAns of the plains, driven by scarcity of game to depend more on the fruits of the farm. Its results may as yet be imperceptible to the distant observer, but careful study of the facts proves that none of these Indians are unchangeable as to habits of life or even personal characteristics. The Co manches are often mentioned as the eminent types of incorrigible wildness ; but it is a fact that previ ous to the war of the rebellion a large number of them bad settled down on a reservation. When we look at the poor inducements they had to do so, we wonder they did it ; but if they did it then, will they not do the same when protection, order, prosperity, and life shall be their inducement— in fact, and not in words? The truth is the Indians have always been more ready than we. Our work has been one of continual repres sion. When the State Constitution of Min nesota was adopted in 1857, it was expected from its wording that educated Indians, able to read and write their own language, and having a know ledge of the constitution of the State, would be admitted to citizenship and the ballot. At least they beli , f;ed it, and the prospect gave a wonderful im pulse to their labours in the school-room and in the field. They were preparing to live like men. But such a thing could not be thought of by their white brethren ; and in the act of denying citizenship to the Indians in 1857-8 the State of Minnesota threw away the opportunity of prevent ing the terrible massacres of 1862. Had law been permitted to reign among the Sioux in 1858, when they were anxious for it, the massacres of 1862 would have been impossible. This very summer the Indians in North-eastern Nebraska and Dakota have been restrained by the United States agents by force from going forth into the harvest-fields around, where their labour was wanted, and where they might have earned bread for their families. It takes the strong hand of Government to push them back into barbarism. Who is it that is not ready for civilisation ? Mscellaneous News. .- - (From the Anglo-American Times.) George Wilkes returned to New York in the Russia, and in the November 2 issue of the Spirit an nounces the fact. The Spirit will return to the discussion of politics on the broad basis of truth, neither it nor its editor being the property of any party. The next number is to contain an article expressive of the opinion that the Republican party of New York State and City deserve to be defeated, as a warning never again to abuse a political success, by attempting fo subvert religious and household liberties, a thousand times more important than the ascen dancy of any political party. The lion. Ben. Wade, when compelled to retire from the Senate, will seek a place in the House of Repre sentatives, and it is expected that he will be elected for the district now represented by General Garfield. Dr. Sam. Bard, editor of the Atlanta daily New Era has stated that the publication of the conversation between General Grant and himself was unauthorised by him, and erroneous in several particulars. General Sheridan arrived at Portland, Maine, Oct. 28, after short halts at Salem, Newburyport, Ports mouth, and other places. Preparations were made for a grand reception at Portsmouth, but he was obliged to disappoint the people. He was received by a salute of artillery and the ringing of church bells. Charles P. Bayard, a stockbroker of Philadelphia, has failed for a largo sum, but it is thought his creditors will be ultimately paid. Senator Henderson, of the Indian Peace Com mission, who, at the rocent council, explained to the Indians the objects and desires of the Government, loft Medicine Lodge Creek for Fort Louis on the 25th October. President Woolsey, of Yale College, desires to contradict the prevalent report of sickness among the stu dents is Yale College. Dr. Hubbard, of the Medical Col lege, says, so far as he can ascertain, not over a half dozen cases of serious illness have occurred among the students, and the town is remarkably healthy. There is no thought of suspending the college exercises. A paragraph is going the rounds of the American press that Mr. M'Millan, the London publisher, had stated that if there had boon an international copyright treaty be tween England and the United States during the last. twenty years, Mr. Longfellow would have received under it forty thousand pounds sterling, equivalent to more than 5250,000 of our present currency. The funeral of the late ex-Governor Andrew took place on Saturday, the 2d inst. The State authorities of Massachusetts and the civic authorities of Boston at tended the ceremony. General Fitz John Porter asks for a court of inquiry, not a new court-martial, to receive the additional testimony he is prepared to offer, and to report to the Pre sident the action they deem advisable. Senator Frelinghuysen is stumping New Jervy .n the interest of the Republicans. Mr. Vallaudigham has been nominated United States Senator from Ohio. Two-thirds of the Democratic members of the Ohio Legislature are baid to favour his election. Franklin Townsend has been elected President of the National State Bank of Albany, New York, in place of Rufus H. King, deceased. Mr. Townsend has boon Vice- President of the institution for nine years. Mr. J. Howard King was unanmously elected Vice-President in place of Mr. Townsend, elected President. General Lersundi will shortly leave Madrid for Cuba, to enter upon the post of Captain-General of that island. It appears that complaints have been made at Washington against Mr. Adams, the American Minister at St. James's, for not urging on the British Government the release of Nagle and Warren. A correspondent of the Standard tells the story of Colonel St. Leger Glenfoll, an Englishman, who took service in the Confederate Army, who was captured in the United States as a rebel emissary to release Confederate prisoners, and to burn the City of Chi cago. He was tried by a military commission and condemned to death, a sentence commuted to imprisonment for life iu the Dry Tortugas. It was on a mission somewhat similar that Warren and Nagle were bound, and it would as little be come the American Minister to interfere for the protection of conspirators endeavouring- to excite a rebellion unless there was something unfair in the trial, as it would become the British Minister at Washington to interfere with the due execution of the United States' laws. General Pope had ordered the Alabama Conven ion to assemble on the sth inst. On Monday morning last Mr. John Doyle, GO years of age, who carried on the business of a cotton dealer in Liverpool, committed suicide by jumping from his bedroom window into the street, a depth of between 20 and 30 feet. He fell upon his head, and death was al most instantaneous, T. Ross Browne, to whose Report we alluded to in a late number, has returned from California to Wash ington, with his collection of mining statistics, gathered on his extensive tour through the States and Territories of the Pacific Coast, and is now at work on his official re port, which will embody so much information connected with the miniag interest that it ought largely to be circu lated in Europe. Deasey has arrived at New York, and on the 31st ult. was serenaded by his Fenian friends. lie crossed in the City of Paris, embarking at Liverpool, and he was assisted by Kelly, who carried' his luggage as a porter. Colonel Weyde, a Russian officer, has invented an apparatus for throwing light on objects under water. It will bo useful in discovering submarine mines or torpodos, and in facilitating the recovery of sunken ships. One or two companies are being organised for the re covery of vessels which have gone down along the coast, and this invention which, the Pall Mall Gazette has picked out of a German magazine, may aid them in the operation. _ Au artisan named Pitman spoke at the Conser vative dinner at tho Crystal Palace last Monday in a strain more surprising than gratifying to the Liberal party gene rally.
