From the most reliable information we can
| obtain, II appears that the Cincinnati rates Of
wages in the above branches are the same ex.
cept Machinery Blacksmiths, Finishers, and
Moulders, which, in some instances, are about
ten per cent lower.
The wages Of that most intelligent class of
mechanics, the Printers, average about 50 to
9 so per week in Cincinnati, and $40 to 10 so
in Louisville-a difference caused in some mea-
sure, il is said, by the larger number Of appren.
tees employed in Cincinnati.
The average wages paid to ordinary clerks
statesmen. and bookkeepers, we are informed
may be stated at from five to six hundred dol
lars per annum, in both Louisville and Cincin-
natl. OF course there are many instances In
both cities. in which superior skill and expert.
ence command higher wages, and there are 9TH
ers falling below the average.
The professions are paid no better here than
in Ohio and Indiana
Teachers in the Louisville grammar schools
receive from four TO six hundred dollars per an
mum, and in the primary schools, from three to
three hundred and fifty dollars per annum.-
In Cincinnati, the former receive $50 dollars
and the latter 800 dollars to 400 dollars per an
mum.

Produce OF Gold I'm she UraI and siberia,
I'm the year 1s46.

According to notice in the Russian Com
merclal Journal" published By the Ministry Of
Finance, IN February, 1877, it appears there
has been rernitted to the Mint at ST. Petersburg,
l397-36s pools Of gold--the produce Of the i'm
penal and private mines in the Ural and Siberia
dunng the year 1876. There were still expected
325-s6s pools of gold, the produeeof these mines
in that veal.
The total produce, therefore, of Russian Gold
in 1876, was l722-746 pools, or about 62-792
pounds drOirdzpOis, while in the previous year,
us45,) it was only 157l-sOO pools, or az, 522
lbs. avOlnfupois. The annual increase, which
in the last two years had fallen to AZ and so
pools, has consequently rsen TO ISL pools, OF
IL, $40 lbs. avoirdupois, which much surpasses
any previous increase; the largest formerly chat
between 1912 and 49, being only $3.50 pods
This is very conclusive evidence Of the vast pro
ductiveness Of the Russian mines, no less than
of the energetic and enterpnslng manner in
which Their inches arc extracted.

The Governor Of this State has been request
ed by the citizens Of Colorado, to call an extra
session Of the Legislature, to settle variety Of
difficulties that have sprung up respecting set
dement's under Mexican grants; but he refuses
to comply with the request for various reasons,
one ofwhich is that the Legislature has not the
power to give the relief sought for, that being
the proper function of the legal tribunals, and
another that the extra session would cost $780,
900, which would more than exhaust the Treas
ury.
The examiner. [volume] (Louisville, Ky.) 1847-1849, 1848-11-04

From most careful inquiry made on this
subject, and from our personal knowledge Of
some branches enumerated above, We are pre-
pared TO assert that the above scale Of prices is
low generally, and in some instances lower
than is paid in Cincinnati for the same descrip-
ton of work, We have also made inquiries of
mechanics working in the interior towns Of
Kentucky and Ohio, for example. Lexington
and Dayton; Frankfort and Columbus; and we
assert that in these cases the difference in wages
is in favor Of the free and against the slave
State, both absolutely and relatively. Compare
again the remote sections Of the States
respectively, especially where it is customary
for the employer TO board the journeyman, and
one dollar per day with board. will be found to
be about the average wages both In Kentucky
and Ohio.
Take again agricultural labor, which is gen.
orally supposed to require the least amount of
skill-and 50 to IS cents per day will he found
TO be fair average in both Kentucky and
Ohio.
Before reasoning upon the general subject Of
Wages, as affected by slavery, it may perhaps
be better to give all the statistics within our
reach, in order that they may be the more easily
referred to--and that If wrong they can at once
be corrected by those competent to do so. We
will now give the wages paid in some other
branches Of industry:

Laborers ON railroads
mostly Irish, 81 90
House servants, females 81 so to 50 0Operwsek
Nurses, 50 90 Ito 81 90
IL to this, we make the additional statement,
that, the general wages Of mechanics in the
New England States are from 81 2s to 81 SO
per day, our readers can easily make their own
comparisons, and draw their own differences.
Having now, perhaps, made this article too
long, we shall conclude by urging upon A, b.
C, and upon all others who agree with him,
the absolute necessity Of bringing forward the
STATISTICAL FACTS, II they wish to sustain their
positions before this intelligent community
Fifty years experience Of the blessed system OF
slavery has certainly produced, and is still pro-
ducing, some unqueslionable beneficial results
EInancipationists are somewhat curious in these
matters, and would be pleased TO know whaI
they are.
