fight to advantage underneath his burly oppo

PRODUCE OF THE MEXICAN MINES
(FEcm Waddy Thompson's RecolIec lions of
Mexico)

The produce ofthe mines Of Mexico is
quite as large or larger now than any other Pc
riod, taking an average often yeas, but moth
ing SO profitable 10 the propretors, owing to
the immense investments in machinery. and
the greater labor OF raising the ores now,
compared with the rude and expensive ma
chinery heretofore used, and The comparativ-
ley small labor of taking out the ores. The
company which now owns the great mine of
Real del Monte have, in the last few years,
expended in machinery and other ways, sew
eraI millions of dolars-The shaft of that
mine is nearly thousand yards deep. Ba-
ron Humbolt gives the gross produce of The
mines Of Mexico from 1890 to 1903, both
years inclusive, as amounting TO $685.
452 ,020--about twelve million Of dollars per
annum The highest amount, which was in
the year 1896, S25, 644 500. The produce
of the year 1904 he states at 24,O00,O00.
After that period from the revolutionary con-
dition of the country ii dwindled almost TO
nothing-n one year to three and half mil
lions of dollars. The official returns for the
year 1912 exhibit an expectation of gold and
silver, as registered at the Custom Houses,
amounting 10 SIS, 100000.
The facility with which large values in
gold may be concealed, and clandestnely
exported, and the temptation to do SO from
The high duty OF six per cent on expectation,
caused veiy large amount TO be Struggled.
That this was extensively praclised and
known TO evrry oneIin Mexico. To form
any accurate estimate of the amount of the
exports of specie, very large addition must
be made on this account. Three or four
millions would scarcely cover it. And TO
these the amount retained in the country, and
it will be very safe TO assume the present
produce of the mines at from twenty-five 10
twenty-four millions OF dollars per annum.
The whole amount coined at the mint in the
city of Mexico since the conquest, Is SAB,
0OO, 900; since 1890, 1926, 96S,750. Min
ing in Mexico, as every where else, is game
of chance; and like all games of chance,
there are many more loosers than winners a.
monst those who play at it.
II is risking very little TO say that If Mex
leo was inhabited by our race, the produce Of
the mines would be at least five times as
great as il now is. There is not mine
which would not be worked aud ss many
more new ones discovered. In fire years,

THE PRfNTERs.-There is no body oil men
IN our country, says contemporary, more pub
lic-spiritsd or patriotic than the printers. In
times OF peace none contribute more than
they do, in proportion 10 their means, to
works of charity and benevolence, or TO such
as may be promotive of the general welfare
and interest, and in times Of war, they ex-
hibit the same alacrity in tenderingth their ser.
vices to take part in the fight.
We find, from our exchanges, that the
printers ale volunteering for the Mexican
war in every part of the county, while here
in Nashville many OF the same fraternity have
done likewise. We venture 10 assert tha
they will make excellent soldiers-not the
less so because they are independent, free
spoken, and withall, now and then, little
wayward and wiful
The following extrac, from the Louisville
Courier will afford sample of the spirit o
printers:
HURRAH FOR THE PRINTERS The Lou
isVille Daily Impartial, spirited penny paper
conducted by an association of practical prin
tiers, was discontinued day before yeterday-
every one of IFS proprietors having volunteer
ed TO serve their country in Texas.
This Office furnishes another sample o
ahs same spirit. No less than four printer

with us; and and we are now left with cou
pie ofsmall boys, our only help. We said t
the four 60, and they went.

TThe Cincinnati Gazette, of Monday
says that the troops there and on the way are
supposed TO exceed the number called for
by at least 600. The Gazette adds:
Gen. Wool has left for Memphis TO expe-
dite the Tennessee volunteers, and will re
turn in about ten days. /! the troops here
are then ready, he will take order for des-
patching then to The seat of war. He desires
TO forward the quota of each State by itself,
so as not TO throw too many troops into New
Orleans at one time, TO press upon the sup
plies or crowd the transportation. He leaves
Capt. Shriver, of the army, to inspect and
muster the troops at Camp Washington into
service. Paymaster Dix is engaged in pay
ing the Louisville troops, and will be here 10
pay our troops in few days.

Revolutionary Anecdote.-The army in
Cambridge, in July, ITS, were joined by a
company of Ri1emen from Philadelphia.
The captain, when he was ordered to form
bis company, bad so many applications thai
they exceed his demands He resorted to
a curious expedient 10 limit his number
without giving offence to any one. He
chalked the figure of nose Of the common
size, on board and placed it at the distance
ofone hundred and fifty yards, and told
such as could come nearest The mark should
enlist. Sixty odd bit it, The Philadelphia

EOur exchanges are filed all most en-
tirely with war items, recruiting of volunteers
mastering them into service, presentation of
flags, and the speeches Of ladies' and the
responses of officers on such occasions. We
doubt not that majority of our readers, are
growing tired of reading this news and in
fact we grow tired of copying such news; but
every novelty must have its run, and then be
laid aside.

with such population, and only With an e.
quail number with that which Mexico now
has, do not hesitate TO assert that the mine
raj and agricultural exports alone would near
ly equal all the exports of any other country
of the world. The last time examined the
tables upon that subject, the whole exports
of tie produce of British labor was about two
hundred and sixty millions Of dollars per an
mum. Mexico, in the possession of another
race, would approach that amount in ten
years.

DESTINATION OF THE CAVALRY

CALIFORNIA TO BE TAKEN.-We find ths
following in the last Nashville Union Mr..
Folks organ in Tennessee:
We understand from realibe source that
1t IS The intention OF the Government to send
a force TO California sufficient to take pos
session of that country and 10 hold On 10 it.
1t is supposed that the mounted men from
Arkansas, Missouri, and probably from Ten
nessee, will be directed to California. We
sincerely hope that this information may be
true, and from the source through which il is
derived, we are satisfied that il is reliable.
We regard California now as ours, and will,
