To our Subscribers.

We thank those who have needed our calls
and squared accounts: and now for fair and
important notice TO those who are in arrear. On
the GOTH OF April. NEXT we shall erase
from our direction books the names of all sub
scribcrs who are in arrear for mere than two
years, and proceed to collect the amount due
from them. If any can pay without trouble,
they have no excuse; if any ,rT not pay except
upon compulsion, duty to ourselves requires us
to compel them; and If any really cannot pay,
it is lime for US to stop furnishing papers with
out compensation. Nor is This course for our
advantage only: it is really for the advantage
also of all whose accounts are running up faster
than they are aware of, and will prove serious
difficulty TO them if suffered 10 go on. We are
anxious to settle every case without recourse TO
the lawyer: but old accounts must be settled.

NeW-Mexico in Danger.

The Connecticut darlings who, from pure de-
votion to Free Soil, helped LocofocoIsm to three
Members of the present Congress and thus Mr..
Cobb into the Speakership, have u fresh triumph
10 rejoice over IN the Report of Linn BOYD and
his pro-S.avery majority Of the House Commit
Zee on Territories against the recognition of Mr..
Hugh II. Smith as Delegate from the Territory
of New Mexico, on the naked ground of the
claim of Texas TO the better portion OF that ter
ritory. Mr.. Winthrop's Wing Committee last
winter reported in taro' of organizing New
Mexico with her ancient and rightfu boundaries,
limiting Texas 10 the region South of that Ter
riiory Of old, overriding without ceremony the
trumpery claim If Houston & Co. TO represent

has never made show OF enforcing 1t; they

part in framing her Constitution, some features
whereof are especially loathsone to her, and yet
are SO clasped aud ryeted that no majority of
her people has power to annu them. 10 refuse

to the power OF her enslavers, so far as Congress
can do It. And, whether this result shall be at

Gold! Cold!

The Two siesmers that reached New York
last week fom Chagres brought two millions
and half of gold from California. This IS
pretty good lift, for one day, towards relieving
the money market: but the gold news is more
buoyaut still According TO the accounts of the
newspapers for which are indebted to sun
dry friends III California; gold is now got in
some diggings in quantities far ou;striPping the
most fortunate placers heretofore. We guess
the stories are strained little; perhaps the gold
is not accurately weighed; and perhaps spccu-
iators would ike to restore cxtravagant prices
in California by Stimulating emigration. There
can be no doubt however, that gold will be got
TO very large amount this year. The floods
have washed down new deposits in old beds, and
new beds are discovered. The amount mined
is also to be increased this year by improve.i
modes of working. According TO the report of
Mr.. King " hich we have commenced publishing
this week. and 10 the statements Of Dir. Wright
(member of Congress elect from California
there are vast deposits OF gold in quartz, which
will ere long be worked by machinery and sep
araled chemically On the whole, the prospect
is certainly fa,tering for large increase to the
cash capital of the country, for which, however,
immense sacrifices will be made in the property
and lives Ct emgrants.

Railroads in treat Britain.

The progress of railroads in Great Britain has
been nearly as rapid as in this country. At the
close of the year 1874, there were open for use
2,I4S miles of Railway. To this total the follow
ing several additions have been made-in 1915,
293 miles; in 1896 sos miles; in I647 $50 ms;
in IS4S l.I9l miles. From the lines present IN
action, $1,000 men are furnished with respectable
and remunerative employment. Besides these
nearly 100000 more are engaged upon the con-
struciion of works yet incomplete. A computation
of this gross traffic shows that the number OF pas
sengers conveyed on the several lines was such
as to allow two trips year 10 every man woman
and child in Great Britain and Ireland. From 4
return for SIX months from the various lines in
the Kingdom, it appears that the total number of
passengers carried was 3i,0U0,0O0, of whom
about millions travelled by the first Class, IL
millions by the second, and the remainder, anoun-
ting to nearly Is millions, BY the third. The
safety OF This mode OF travelling, must now be SET
tied even beg question, even IN the minds Of
the most tinid Out Of grand total OF % $50,
7S4 passengers conveyed during period OF l2
months, II only were killed, of whom IL met
their death by their own carelessness or mlscvn-
duct, leaving but nine jonafde casualties upon
nearly So millions ventures, and making the odJs
more than 6000000 to one in favor OF the travel
ers safety. 1t is proved beyond any denial that
low fares produce greater receipts than higher
ones.

Noble. There have been eight trials IN the
Charles,own district, Mass, to elect a Member
of Congress. The Hon. Benz. Thompson (the
Wing candidate,) leads; but he is more anxious
to have the district represented at this crisis
than he is 10 be elected himself, and he has
therefore declined, for the purpose of enabling
the parties to agree upon new man who can
be elected. The Atlas says that the Hon. Sam
ucl Hoar of Concord is usgested. He was the
agent Of Massachusetts, repudiated by South
Ca,olina-a Wing, up 10 the nomination of Gen.
Taylor, whom he thought he could not supper.

would countenance factious opposition to the
administration-who would support it in every
good work,-and We would be well contenlcd
with his election.

a .Nerc and Beautiful Wne We were shown
on Saturday new ware, which for beauty OF
finish and durability. is not surpassed by any
thing of the kind within our knowledge, impor-
ted or domestic. Il comes from the Bennington
(VeImont) Flint Enamel Ware Works, and is
composed entirely of mineral substances, with
out particle of clay. 1t is thus rendered very
strong and is fire proof, two very important quail
tiles with housekeepers. lis beauty of finish
and smoothness of surface is fully equal to the
best China or Porcelain vel known. In addition
to all these essential qualities. strength, durabil-
ty and beauty, it is said to be afforded at lower
prices than similar articles of clay ware. Its
uses are not confined TO the usual crockery ware,
but The inventors make from it door-knobs, da-
guerreoiype frames. fancy brackets. letters for
signboards, figures for numbering, and almost
everything of the sort. The right to manufac-
ture 1t has been patented, and the ware will
probably soon be brought into the market.
