pn;nfuL Derciopement


,ye mnst refer our readers TO the memorial OF the
President and Directors Of the James River and Kama
vh, Comoany for one of the most notifying transac
tons which these extraordinary times have called orih
THE name of Gen James Hamilton OF South Carolina
has sood with us for years Of the highest and
Lrbtes, in this land. We have uniformly regarded
him whether we have agreed or differed with HIM IN
nolf;cs os The soul of honor and almost the pink oil
h;y,Irv itself. We cannot readily abandon all our
exalted opinions of this genteman-but there IS
mystery in the NATTER as It IS detailed IN Inc memota
which requires him Immediately to clear 1t up We
cannot express the astonlshment and the regret @nch
the present aspect of this subject gives to his friends IN
Richmond Gen. Hamilton should clear It up wIthou,
delay What has become OF the bonds ITO the nominal
amount of about S75,000 which belonged to the James
River Company: Who has received the nett proceeds
of them reduced of by Their conversion into
cash, Had not the General an assurance, that The
amount would be replaced to the Company Is not his
intimate friend and relative, MIR. Cruger of New York
about to replace them In scarcely any other case
would we ask for time for the fullest explanations But
the whole subject is productive Of views ana feelings
Of The most painful character. II is enough that such
man should be suspected of any indrectIon, TO pro-
duce the sincercst regret.
In any event. let the Agent or the James River Com
pany have acted rs they may, upon this thing we mus
| all be agreed: The good faith of Virginia must no
suffer in event Provision ought at once to be made
10 redeem our bonds and discharge our oblIgations-
But The public will not be satisfied until the whole trans
action is unravelled-and If there be any fraud or I'M
nropre,y in the matter, it must be exposed Suspicious
are rife IN the public streets, that must be probed TO the
bottom.

The n. Y Courier, in rebuking J. @. Adams, does
great injustice to Mr. Wise. 1t says that "Mr. Adams
is pursuing a most deporabe course in Congress-
of infinite mischief to the country; but it is true
gospel ITSELF that the old has been goaded into
his imprudence by Southerners themselves. There is
hardly any for either pety 1t is especially RI
dicuous for Mr. Wise and his friends, tie Nuhers, to
affect such spasmodc horrors at the idea Of 'dlssolu
ton They commenced the treason themselves, and
have had the exclusive glory of dwelling upon IL for
years; and now, forsooth, they 90 into Mysteries the
moment little of the Northern article is administer
ed. It's the veriest aiecation, the most sIckenng
pretence their part. 1t is in fact too palpabe to
produce any thing but disgust We have no apology
for MIR. Adams. Heaven ioriend; he deserves the Sc
verest apprehension; but not from them. The South
ern patriots had better keep quiet. Their distress
is the grossest stage playa personation OF pa
trio,sm out of all keeping and all plausbility. =
This is not the with many, who are loudest IN
their execraton of Mr. Adams. Mr. Wise was no
Nnlifer-we were not yet no reprobates the course
of MIR. Adams severely .-Most of the Democracy
Of Virginia were not-and none is indignant about
his course they are. The fact is, that Mr. Adams
has degenernled into perfect nuisance, which ought
to be ted by the good Of the whole county,
II is idle for any to pretend to be patriot, who
loves the Union, when he is doing all in his power to
agtate the country to embiter the feelings of the two
sections, upon the only question which dissolve the
Union. He claims TO be the advocate of the abstract
right of petition What right have the Aboltionsts
to petition Congress 10 NEEDLE with Institutions,
which recognized by the Constitution ITSELF and
which Congress has no jurisdiction What right have
the traitors Of Haverh to petition Congress to dissolve
the Union, when Congress owes its own existence TO
the Union itself; But if these dis,racting scenes are
to be kept up during every session; if an nceudiary
Adams is TO be permitted 10 throw such irebrand in
the midst Of the States; if the feelings, which ought
to bind them in brotherhood, thus 10 be con-
stany estered and naumed; what tranquility our
people to expect, what harmony in our public councils,
what degree of pcrpetuty to the Union itself And
yet this is to receive aid and comfort from certain
Wing Representatives of the South We call upon
the good sense of the country TO repress the madness
of this man-and call upon The South 10 (rown down
every Representatives, who dares TO counenance the
man who abuses our Institutions, and insults US as
parcel of sssave breeders"

Brutality.

We daily read accounts of the brutal treat
rnent received by apprentices at the hands OF
their masters and misresses, but the following
caps the climax, and, in The language of the
Tauler, almost equals the refined barbariy Of
Squeers on poor SmIke.
In the fall of 1910, a poor widow, in INDECENT
circumstances, died in New York, leaving Two
small orphans TO The charge OF her married
daughter. Subsequently,, one OF them, aged
eleven wears, was ndenlured 10 Mrs. Ann
froudf, as an errand girl In this employ she
&as treated more like worthless dog than
human being, kept in dry filthy state, forced
10 sleep in the basement hall, although The
house is one of The largest in East Broadway,
and subjected TO foggings from the hands Of
DR.. James Proud6t, son of The widows, that
exceeded in severity many that have been IN
ficied on hardy seamen in the navy Tor grave
offences. Her sister, having heard of these
oulrages, made complain, TO magistrate, who
directed an officer to bring the girl before him.
The girl was brought 10 the office. and the in
terview between the sisters was affecting IN the
extreme. She bore pal pable evidence oil her
treatment on her person, and the mark of The
heel of the gallant Doctors boot. was found
legibly imprinted upon her back; besides this
the girl appeared TO be fast verging 10 state OF
idiocy.
Comment is unnecessary. We know not
what disposition the magistrate will make in
the case, but we trust that he will show the
offenders that the law reaches aud falls alike on
the rich and poor.

The Mines of Mexico.

The mines are The grand object which has
connected the idea of unbounded wealth and
romantic splendor with the name of Mexico.
Gold and silver, by natural illusion, have al
ways shOne in the eyes of mankind with lus-
ire beyond that of any other metal. Peru, IN
deed, offers gold in greater abundance-but
Mexico, since The first discovery, has produced
more silver than all The rest OF the world united.
The silver ore OF Mexico is far from rich; it
seldom yields more than three or four ounces
10 the quinial of earth, while that Of SsxOny
yields len or even fifteen ounces. 1t is sliua-
TED, also, very deep in The ground; the quantity,
however, is immense, and obtained with COM
paraively liIile dlfficully-Or, instead OF being,
as usual placed in The heart of dreary and al
most inaccessible deserts, the mines occupy
the very best Situation Of the great table plain,
are surrounded with brilliant vegetation, and
with all The means Of comfortable subsistence.
There are 5000 mines in Mexico; most of them,
however, are now unproductiVe, and even ruin
Gus; but adyenturers have been encouraged TO
begin and 10 persevere while particle of their
capital remained, by the enormous profits which
have in a few instances, been realized.
The produce OF the mines continued increas-
ing until The commencement Of the late revolu-
lion. From 1850 10 1859 the average appear
ed 10 be SIC, ,566, 900; from III TO 1903 it was
Sl9,6SS 900; but in the first years Of The pre-
sent century the duties levied implied an amount
Of S22,000,000; and, allowing for coniraband,
the total might probably be S25,000,000 Du-
ring he dreadful commissions of the late revolu-
tion, The amount was greatly reduced--ihe wa
ter having in many instances been allowed 10
rushin, the machinery destroyed, and the work
men dispersed.
The annual average produce since the revo-
luton is not more than SI2,000,000. The sill
yer coined in the mint Of Mexico, which in
1910 amounted to the value of $l7,050,000,
had fallen, in 1925, to 1851 900.
The mint of Mexico is prodigious estab-
lishmenf, in which all the processes are carried
on with The greatest activity. II is capable OF
stamping 81 ,OG0, 900 within the hour. So rap
I'd an operation is seldom required, yet there
have passed through il probably upwards OF
$4,000, ,oOO, ,0oO- MteheLPs World.
