How 10 Travel Free Of ExDcusc

An officer of the Vermont cOnstabulary
force arrived in Hudson lately, having in
custody, as he supposed, Moshier the an.
ti.renter, who stands charged with shoot
ing the sheriff and for whose arrest and
delivery at the Columbia county Jail, a
large reward has been offered. The
prisoner accompanied the oficer on the
way willingly, and was in remarkably
good humor during the entire journey;
but when he arrived in Hudson, where
Moshier is well known, the good natured
genius proved to be neither that individ-
ual nor a whit like him in appearance.
The Vermont constable was, of course,
taken all aback, as he had confidently
imagined the one thousand dollars as
good as in his hand. His fellow travel.

FiIl;lIsCicring,

Strange things occur in these, our
times, connected with Sub. Treasury f.
nanciering. Things are done every day
to put money into the pockets of govern
ment 06ic,als aud their pets. indirectly,
that honest men would blush to engage
in. The New York Tribune speaking
of some recent stock operations of Sccre-
tary Wa lker, says:
At time when the Government is re.
ceiving instalments upon large loan, it
is reported that the Secretary is in the
market buying for 10S per cent, the iden-
tical stock which he daily issues, and for
which he receives little over par. Who
can fail to see the corruption Of such a
state of thingsl The chief fnanciel Off
Gel of the Government is reported as
buying the debt of the Government, and
thus enhancing its value and cost, at
time when he pretends the interests of
the department will be suhserved by pur.
chases to be cancelled 1t can hardly be
possible that the Secretary is thus en-
gagged in an operation as purely stock
jobbing as any that was ever entered in
TO in Wall street. The ehects to throw
into the hands of the takers of the late
loan the difference between its present
value and the price at which they sub
scribed for it in June. At the same time
the Secretary is expeuding the money
raised for him within few months, and
not fully in his possession now. As the
law authorizes him to effect loan, and
does not make ii imperative upon him to
borrow the whole amount named, he
would serve the interests of the depart
ment quite as we'll by refusing to receive
any balance on that loan, as by purchas-
ing for 1OS per cent. what he sells for
103 per cent.

run up the bay about half mile, when
finding the water shoaling, she turned

very much entangled about her saw and

the extreme point ofthe reef, that she ran
part out of water, aud could not get of

As this is the most direct route to Cali

will soon form monthly line from New

Panama, we have made some inquiry in
relation to the journey across the 18th

forty of which is up the Chagres river,
and is formed in canoes, the balance of
twenty miles is made on mues--the
whole journey takes about two days. We
understand that the steamboat Orus has
been purchased at this port, and will be
placed permanently on the Chagres riv-

PRoDuCTTvENEss OF THE MINES OF
MExICo.-The gold and silver mines of
Mexico produced, in the II years ofthe
Spanish rule, from 1896 to 1910 las as
certained 10y the coinage reports,) $342.-
1925, being an average of 24,000,-
900 year. In the succeeding period Of
fifteen years, the coinage was only $751;
276,S72 or about S1O,OOO,O0O annually.
This diminution of productveness was
ascribed, not TO the lack of gold, but to
the disturbed state ofthe country. These
mines are now wort ed by Englishmen,
to whom they have been pledged, for
money loaned to the Mexican Govern
ment. The great quantity ofgold which
will be thrown into circulation by the dis
covery ofthe richness of California in that
particular, will, no doubt, in a measure
decrease its value, but at the same time
it is evident that while The gain, or most
of it, will be TO this country, the deprecia
tion will have to be borne proportiOnally

Capture of SLAYER with over Four Hum
dred slaves,

Capt. Kennard, of ship Goodwin, from
Calcutta, last from St. Helena, Oct. l2,
reports that a brig with upwards OF 400
slaves arrived at St. Helena in October,
having been captured by H. B. M. ship
Britomart, on the West Coast of Africa,
without colors or papers. She had been
previously boarded several times by H,
B. Nj. ship Dart, when she was always
represented as the American brig Frede,
rica, with American colors and papers.
She was taken at Congo river, at which
place it appears she had been delivered
to Brazilian purchasers. She was sent
to st. Helena for adjudication in the Ad-
miraity Court. About forty of the ne.
groes died on the passage. The others
were put in the depot, and when in prop
er condition, if they are willing, will be
sent to one the West India Islands.
The vessel captured, if we do not mis-
take, was the British bottom, condemned
at Key West as unseaworthy, purchased
by Americans, and sent to Rio .Janeiro,
under sea letter, and from thence pIo.
ceeded to Africa Boston AdD.
