! Now THAT we have acquired some
S0O,OOO square miles Of territory by the
treaty with Mexico, it may not be am'ss
TO know what arc some of lis natural
treasures. Sonora, produces gold, silver,
and pearls; New Mexico and Santa fe,
gold, silver, aud iron; and Upper Cali
lornia, corn, wine and pearls. Quick
silver is also found in abundance in
Upper California. We have seen "A
specimen of quicksilver ore taken from
the mine of Santa Clara, near the
Peubla de- San Jose de Guadalupe, only
six six miles from steamboat commnnl-
calinn on San Francisco Bay. Tie
ore is exceedingly pure and rich and Is
extensively used in the silver mines OF
Western M.xico
The Santa Clara mine is owned by a
company in Tcpic, Mexico, and two
other veins have been opened by Amerl-
cans near San Francisco, and from
appearances, the supply Of California
quick. silver, when developed by Yam
kee enterprise, will be incxlau'iable.
Considering the acquisition Vi the bal
ance of NJ xiro, sooner or later as our
inevitable destiny, the value OF these
quick silver mines cannot be too highly
estimated. Yankee enterprise 100, Will
soon uubury the gold, silver and iron
n,cs that lie hidhen IN the mountains OF
Sonora, New Mexico, and Santa re.
Before generation passes, the iro" ore
will be rolled inIo bars aud laid on rall-
tracks, and moulded into locomotives
that will go laundering over that Vast
expansc Of county, frightening the wild
beasts from their haunls, and bearing the
fruits of American enterprise from ocean
to ocean.
The vine grows luxuriantly in Cali
fornia, and few years hence will see
our vineyards there, rivalIing those OF
Bun gun " and the Rhine. California

The climate of the country is fine and

ausnes on our market As regards continental trade
II Is quite at stand and hear Of scarcely any
business doing In Qther quarters The utmost tagnaton
prevails and prc0 Of course almost nominal. We
understand the commercial advces from Leipsic are
very gloomy many failures being anticipated. By the
official report Of the state of employment in the borough
OF Manchester under the inspection of Capt. Wills it
appears that with reference the number of mills
and works of ill kinds there Is compared with last
week, an increase in the number of hands working full
time of 496, with decrease of the number on short
time OF lOI and decrease those out of empoyme
Of 34S As regards the mills engaged in the cotton
trade the results follows Increase in hands on
full time 1885, increase in hands short time Ill de-
crease in the number out of employment, 296.
HALIrAx.-We have to report no change for the bet
ter in our market There is very little doing in ny
department.
RooHpALE.-We have had better demand for all
sorts Of flannel goods than for several weeks past Con
fdencc seems to be gradually restored Prices were
same as last week. Foreign wool much the our
last and brokes and skins remain stationary.
LEIcEsrER.-Therc is more confidence in the main
enance Of prices evidence of improved tone in
business and some contracts or delivering in the au-
tumnD for goods for home trade, have been entered
into. Yarns have been moved from the spinuers'
stocks to extent but regret to report little i'm
provement in either the continental or American de-
mand.

The BARNBuRNERs AND THE PREsIDENcY.-We
are informed that the barnbuners are divided on
the question of the Presidency; and that although
considerable portion of them are in favor Of
General Taylor, yet it is not probable that they
will agree to nominate that distinguished man, at
the mass-meeting to be held in the Park, on Tues
day afternoon next.
1t is said that the barnburners, in holding their
meeting on that particular day, and in anticipation
of the wing nominations, mean to produce such
an impression of the breach between them and
the hunkers in this city, as to convince the Clay
delegates of the possibility of Mr. Clays election,
under the hope that he may receive the nomination
IN Philadelphia. The barnbumers do not wish the
wings to nominate General Taylor, but would like
to see Mr.. Clay nominated; because then they
would have better field on which to take hold Of
General Taylor themselves, and support him. and
organise under his MANTLE for all future occasions.
There is certainly some show in this statement,
and the reasons on which it Is founded. AT all
events, the mass-meeting of the barnburners will
be very lnteresting-for John Van Buren,, Churchill
c. Cambreleng, and variety ofother distinguished
"cutthroats,'' will speak on the occasion. 1t
WILL no doubt, be an immense meeting; for the
wings will attend 1t for the purpose Of swelling
the numbers so as to promote the impression, that
the secession of the barnburners will destroy ali
chances of General Cass in this State. The hun
kers are in great distress these things; yet they
ought not to be so. Doctor Brandreth, Of Sing
Sing, can furnish an immense supply Of pills yet.

Tor Taylor he drew down thunders Of applause for
Clay. But Mr.. Girard, wit, an original, and
scholar, as has been in the report ofhis speech
IN the Herald, made new move, came to the res
cue with fresh forces, brought up a Z" little more
grape" and routed the enemy with Buena Vista
defeat. 1t much resembled that battle. When he
began, all were for Clay; but before he had ended,
the clay was brushed of,-the mud was gone-the
victory was complete; all were convinced, and the
star of Taylor, obscured by the wet blankets of
WORKOUT orators, shone forth again with all its orr
gnal and native brightness.
