SilUer Mining in Merco.-During the
year 1850, according to Mexican authori.
ties, there were extracted from allthe mines
in. Mexico, silver TO the value of 0.OOO,.
900, which, is pretty considerable amount;
and from this it may be inferred that, could
the country enjoy undisturbed tranquility,
and all its industrial operations andienter-
tpriseses be adequately protected and en-
couraged, this amount might be and would
be greatly increased. And If the mines of
quicksilver discovered recently in Calfor-
nis, should turn out TO be, the consequence
will be great reduction in the price of that
mineral. 1t will fall, probably, to two
thirds or one half the present price; and
should this take place, then silver ores, that
are now too poor to yield remunerating
amount Of that metal, will become valuable,
and this new source of metallic wealth will
add, perhaps, $40 ,0OO, COO to the aggregate
amount Of The silver raised; so that the
whole will not fall any thing short, it may
be, of $40,0O0.0O0 per annum, the tran
4uilito of the country heing presupposed.
Should Mexico yield $40, ,OOO, 900 per an
mum. the annual quantity raised on this con-
tinent might be assumed at $50. GOO, ,000.--
But this product, large as it is, will not be
sufficient TO maintain the equilibrium be-
tween gold and silver, as now established,
should California continue to furnish the
enormous quantities of the first, as she has
done for the last two years; and that she
will, and more, many believe; and believe,
too, that the supply will be permanent-
that is, it will last for on indefinite number
Of years, and certainly for great many
If this be 30, then silver must rise in value.
or gould must fall, which, for all practical
purposes, is immsterial. And when this
disturbance gets to be inconvenient and en-
bsrrassing, then the wise men who make
and unmske the laws must set themselves
to work snd conjure out a rsmedy for the
evil when IL comes. Some think !: is now
on IS; others think not. We ssre in doubt
ourselves as to whether tits or not.-[N. Y.

A Moving Tale.

We sretold an affecting story which ney-
er has found its way into the newspapers
another distressing scene in the golden dra-
ma Of California. Amsn with bis wife and
three infant children left the State last
spring, among the thousand overland emf
grants. On the way his wife died, but he
succeeded in getting into the mines with
his mothsrless babes, where feeling despiI-
tied end unable to get sloug, lie sold out
the remnant Of his property, and came to
San Francisco to embark for home, with
his helpless infants. The cholera was raging
at its height. He went on board sail ves-
sci, which ives to leave in the morning, but
when the morning came, the heart broken
man was found dead of the pestilence, where
be lay; and his waking infants tugging 81
him to arouse him, totally unconscious Of
their bereavment. The eldest, . boy, vas
too young to tell bis, but ssid something by
which il was supposed the family came from
Wisconsin. AZ the vessel was bound to
sail, the three little unknown orphans we're
set upon the Whsyf, where they were seen

IFThe St. Louis Union, paper once
respected for the principles which it advo-
Gated, has become dupe to the Benton and
Abolition party, and is daily engaged in
throwing fire-bIands into the ranks Of the
party, to which it once professed so much
attachment. That Benton and his follow
ers in Missouri are wrong, is evidenced by
a large majority of the Democratic party
throughout the United States, if the public
press is any index tc that opinion, and why
the Union should continue its wsrefare up-
on the Democratic party in Missouri, is in
deed difficult to understand. The most
that can be accomplished by it is the sue
cess Of the Wing party, because it is next
thing to certain, that Col. Benton will never
hold an Office again 10 the United States Of
any importance, unless he receives it from
the hands of the Wing party. II may be
that Col. Benton and the Union are grad
uallys vending THAR wsy into the Whig
ranks; If so, the course Of the Union is con-
sisssnt enough.-[Beptop llll. Standard.

! SUPPOSED News OF STA JoBH FRANKLIN
An extra published BY the Columbo Oh
server. contains, under Singapore Jan. 9Th,
the following: ....
81 have 1t in my power this month to
give you later information Of the search
which is being prosecuted for the recovery
Of Sir John Franklin and his party, than e.
ven the admiralty is yet possessed Of. Her
majes,y's surveying ship Herald srrived
here from the Arctic reginns, via the Sand
wich Islands and Hong Kong, during the
last week, end she has the latest accounts
from the far north. Near the extreme sta
tion ofthe Russian Fur Company they learn
ed from the natives that party Of white
men had been encsmped three or four hun.
dled miles inland, that the Russians had
made an attempt TO supply them with pro-
visions and necessaries but that the natives,
who are at enmity with the Russians, had
frustrated all attempts.
No communication could be opened with
the spot where they were said to be, as a
hostile tribe interviewed. From the Esoui.
maux they had this vogue story very salts
factorily confirmed, with the addition that,
the whites and natives having qusrrelled,
the former had been murdered. As to the
possibility of these unfortunates being Sir
John Franklin's party, leave you and your
readers who have paid attention to the case
in all its bearings, tojudge. Whether these
men spoken Of were or were not Sir Johns
company little hopes can now be entertain
ed Of finding then alive, as their provisions
must have expended in one year, and their
fuel, which is as necessary, must have all
been burned out two years since.
