THE SILVER MINES OF PoTosI The city
OF Poos formerly belonged to Peru, but is now
under the government OF Buenos Ayres. 1t is
situated in the interior, about three hundred
miles from the Pacific Ocean, being built in
narrow glen on the skirts of an elevated noun
tain 1t owes its origin and Importance to its sill
yer mines, the richest in South America. The
mountain oil Potosi is the most elevated summit
in this quarter, and is always capped with snow.
1t rises to the height of 1920 feet above the
level OF the sea, and 1897 feet above the plain on
which the city is built. The city must OF course
be nearly 1000 feet high. This great eleva.
ton renders the climate cold; the environs are
barren, the valleys almost destitute OF wood, aud
the sides OF the hills covered with moss The
mountain is oil easy ascent, and from its summit
is presented a grand picturesque view OF the
valleys, lakes and mountains.
The population of Potosi once amounted TO I6O,-
OO0 but i'll consequence OF the diminished i'm
portance OF the mines, it has been reduced TO 40
600. The streets are narrow and irregular; the
houses built OF brick and stone, and are OF only
one story-they are without chimneys, and the
apartments are kept warm by being closed ard
covered with Alpaca skins, and by burning per-
fumery in them.
The mines Of Potos were accidentally dscov-
cred by Diego Hualca, an Indian peasant, when
pursuing wild goats. Arriving at steep place,

frt m falling, but the shrub, being unable to sup
port his weight, was torn up by the roots, and
disclosed to the astonshed hunter rich mass OF
silver, Jumps OF which adhered to the earth, and
came away with the plants. Not long afterwards
the discovery was made known, and the mine
was opened in 1917. From the first discovery of
these mines TO the year 1903, the quaint OBJ
tanned from them amounted to the enormous sum
OF one thousand and fifty millions of dollars The
annual quantity thirty years since was about FIVE
millions dollars. Although their produce is re-
duced to about one quarter of what it once was,
yet they are still the most productive mines in
South America. These mines have caused the
destruction OF thousands of human beings in the
latter end OF the 10th century. Sixteen thou
sand Indians were constantly compelled by the
conscription of the meta to work in them At
present there only about two thousand mi
ners employed, who are we'll paid, and work
from choice.

Fourth District.

We give, below, all the returns we have received
from this district. The Taylor men have made siren
uous effort, and have probably succeeded again i'll pre-
venting choice. This is all they can do or hope to do,
and is just what the slave excnsioniSts would most of
ALL wish them to do because ii not only abstracts
vote from the cause of Freedom and Humanity, on the
floor of Congress but takes away the influence which
mind, so clear, powerful, aud pure, that Of John G.
Pallrey, carries with it wherever il GOES Well il will
not always be thus There is too much intelligence and
too much principle in the great body of those who still
adhere TO the Taylor party, long be trained by party
leaders, TO vote direct opposition the feelings of the
North and TO the principles which they profess TO be
governed by. They will not, we trust, much longer,
suffer themselves be induced cast their votes vr
tualy against freedom, and for the upholdng OF the
slave power, especially, when by uniting with the Free
Soil party, they uphold the principles of the
government, vindcate the moral sentiment of the North
and do what in them lies for the overthrow of the great
est system of oppression that stains the annals Of the
nineteenth century.

interesting one. She is the widow of the only man
in the Fusileer regiment who not killed in the
retreat from Moscow. One day Captain Jumontier
came to announce to Napoleon the arrival of Mar
shall Ney and his corps. Napoleon ordered him to
rejoin his regiment. An hour or two afterwards
Napoleon perceived Captain Jumontier standing
near soldier, whose singular dress attracted the
Emperor's notice his head was covered with a
sort of Cossack bonnet, and, instead of his uniform,
he wore torn vest, which scarcely covered his
shoulders. The captain and the soldier were
marching steadily onward. Napoleon called to
him, in a tone of Impotence and ill humor, What
are you doing there Why have you not rejoined
your regiment, and taken your place at the head of
your company!'' Sire, have not lost an instant
in obeying your orders" What do you say !!
You do Mt understand me-" " Sire, | am with my

" Present, my Emperor The voice was that of
the soldier near Jumontier; and the widow sue
