New MExIcO.-A correspondent Of the
Isl. Louis Union gives the following des.
cription OfNew Mexico.
New Mexico, in my humble Judgment,
never can be made very valuable for agri.
cultural purposes but is doubtless one Of
the finest grazing countries in the world,
and for wool.grOwing, unequalled on the
American continent. Its mineral resources
are far greater than has been supposed. Il
is rich in minerals of all kinds, Thele iS
an abundance OfirOn, lead, silver, aRd gold
ore besides, pure gold is found in large
quantities at the old and uew places about
thirty miles South Ofthis place. There are
also rich prospects for gold above TOOs. on
The Rio Grande, and in the mountains near
that place. / have no doubt that mining
will he carried on in this country at no
distant day to a great extent and probably.
If some Of our eastern capitalists were dis.
posed, they might invest their money TO
great advantage in New Mexico.

FROM TAMPICO.

The brig Prairie, Capt. Clark, arrived
Yesterday from lampicO, having sailed
thence on tho 9Th inst.--two or three days
only, later than our former advices. We
received no letters or papers by this arrival,
but from letter received by commercial
house, to which we are deeply indebted we
learn a few items Of interest.
The most Interesting news in tho letter
touches the election Of President and Vice
President Of Mexico. The letter states that
Santa Anna was elected President by q
vote Of IL 10 9-the vote being. according
to the Constitution Of 1924, by States
This letter states that Gen. Salas was cleo
ted Vice President instead Of Gomez FarI'
as as our accounts received by way OF An
ton Lizardo assured US. The writer OF the
Tampico letter is an intelligent gentleman,
and has access to good Mexican sources Of
information. His accounts from the capt.
tai NAV not have been so late as those re-
ceived nv the squadron when the MisslsslP'
ii lelt for Havana. On the other hand the
election of Gen. Salas would leave the
Mexican government just where It now ls'
=. an Santa Annals duties as President de-
voIve upon the Vice President while the
former is at the head Of an army actually
in the field. 49,.
A cOnducta ofspecie was shortly eXPec'
ted at TampicO from the interior. II wa'
supposed to be money on English account
Since Gen, Shields has been in command
If Tampica he has divested the tormel

over the town, and vested their powers =

safety ofprOperty, &c. Mr.. P. b. Taylor
