raise finds ready market here, at a good
price. Wheat is worth S2,75 fonega, IA
measure of little over two and half bushels
which weighs l56 pounds being abuot 80
cents per busllel, and such is the demand for
it that man frequently sells, and obtains an
advance upon it, before he sows his seed.
Flour is worth about $500 per 100 pounds =
There are some seven or eight flour mills in
the neighborhood of this town. Never was
there such an opening for industrious farmers
as this country offers. Potatoes are worth
$3.50 a fonega, and other vegetables and
poultry in proportion; and yet provisions are
cheaper here than at any other port on the
coast. A goodly number OF vessels visit this
place, engaged in the coasting trade to the
ports north of this.
The carts used here are, nineteen out of
twenty, constructed entirely of wood. The
wheels are made of block, sawed from large
log, with hole in the center. All the work
is of the neatest kind. A few of the wealthy
have good carts and carriages; but the roads
being so rough that little inducement is Of
fered for the importation Of vehicles for pleas
ure. The northern provinces are more sterile
than this, but rich IN minerals, especially cop,
per; there is no portion of the republic, how
ever, in which gold is not found to some
extent. But decidedly the richest mineral
region is in the Cordeleries-, (which are
about l2o to $50 miles dlstant.) Gold, silver,
"copper" iron, and many others of value are
found there; but enterprise and capital are
both needed to dig them up.
This town was entirely destroyed by an
earthquake in February, 1885, and has all
been rebuilt since; it is regularly laid out,
and streets cross each other at right angles,
and several of them are paved, with a drain
in the center The houses are nearly all
built of brick, one story high, walls three and
four feet thick in order to stand the shocks of
earthquake and covered with tile, like the
half Of long crock, and are laid on in tiers,
the convex fits into a concave; they make
poor roofs and leak in wet weather. The
Windows are all grated with iron bars, which
reminds me of the Jails in our country; it Is
not needed for pro,ection-the people are
quiet and not addicted to the crime of burg
larry. The Catholic is the only worship tol-
Grated lnrublic in this country. But trust
chance will ere long take place in regard
tr religious matters-that the government
Nil perceive the advantage of more liberal
course. 1t keeps out emgrants; while it is
known that two thirds of the business from
the straits of Magellon to the bay Of San
Francisco, is carried on by foreigners, mostly
Americans and English. Manufactures of
all kinds are of the rudest order, and cduca-
ton at low ebb. Yet have been told
great Improvement is pcrcevable within the
last few years. Newspapers all in the Span

matters; the prices vary from 90 to 81 200,

reside here. There are six dry good stores,
[thrce TO mcny,] about the same number ci
groceries, four Hotels, Mechanical shops of
various kinds; and the town is still improving.
The country is also settling with an excel

are in rapid progress. The Jail is almost
completed; it is by far the best looking Jail |

The brick is the best speciman have ever

windows are beautiful white limestone,

Amendment TO the Tax Law.

The bill amending the Tax Law Of last
winterso as to tax banks, State stocks,
and jeweiry, came up in the Senate this
morning for its third reading. Mr. Perkins
was prepared with numerous documents
to prove that banks and State stocks
should not be taxed az other property

to mingle in debate. The speech made
by MIR Olds, on Saturday last, in favor OF
this bill, appears to have set pretty close.
ly to the hearts Of the federal Senators
During the remarks Of Mr. Perkins on the
Galliopolis bank the Cashier Mr. Coombs, =
stood by, and appeared, from his looks, to
know all about the operations of that con
cern.
Mr. olds replied to Mr. Perkins, aud ad.
ministered some pretty scathipg rebukes
to the federal side Of the house. His al
lusion TO the whg Bank krnpt Law, which
repudiated more than four hundred mil
lions - p-Sxa.e debts, was well ,imed in
reply TO the charges Of Mr. Perkins, tha,
the democrats were in favor Of violating
private contracts. This act Of federalism
should forever seal the mouths of these
hyp cries
Let the people watch the action of The
Legislature upon this question of bank
taxation, and they will fad that the fed
same taxation 10 banks that they DO te

o. The rain fell thick and fast for sever
al days, and raised the streams SO very high
that nearly all the bridges, with much of the
roads, have been swept away, leaving us
without mails or news. The injuries done
are innumerable and beyond calculation. In
this section, cattle, sheep, corn, wheat in the
stack, hay, fences and almost every thing
on the low land, in the reach of water, were
taken off, We viii not attempt TO portray
out the vast amount of property destroyed, but
merely state, that old residenters suppose it to
be as great ns any that has been in the last
twenty years.
