that the poor Mexicans are obliged to
emigrate beyond reach, if possible, of
the prosecutors. Their condition is al
most unbearable, and there is scarcely
an old Castillian or wealthy Mexican
in all these northern states, who would
not gladly receive the cheering news,
that ''the United States of the North''
had conquered those Provinces, and de-
termlned to protect the inhabitants from
the invasions of these red men.
The present condition of the Mexican
nation seems propitious for a change.
Santa Anna, to maintain his position
must draw the reins still tighter until
his power shall be more absolute, which,
Judging from the movements in Yucatan
will meet with great opposition from the
distant states, and probably create 4 feel
ing of opposition which he has not the
power to subdue. The Sonora expcdi-
ton, too, ifit shall arrive within the ter
rltory, must occupy large portion Of his
attention and prevent him from crush
ing the rising disafection among his own
people. In his present dilemma he has
issued decree which will bind to him
the ever active and powerful Jesuts,
whose influence with the Mexican people,
aided by their wealth, if they viii 50 use
It, may assist him much in completing a

ABoRrIoN,~Ts AT WORK.

1t is a matter eff surprise to perhaps a
good many of our readers, that since the
time when the infamous Rustell was
brought to an account for her atrocious
doings, so very few complaints for SINH
lar offences as she has been guilty of
have been made in this city and they
might possibly infer that the punishment
of that great leader in this branch Of
crime had deferred others from follow
ing her vile example. 1t is not so, how
ever Though less openly carried on,
vet that fearful crime is almost daily
perpetrated in our midst, and the num-
ber Of those who have embarked in that
appalling career, has swelled to so in
credible an extent that it is asserted
there arc now no less than forty of these
fends, both male and female, practising
their hellish skill upon the suffering VIC
Tins The rapid strides which surgery
has made during the last few years can
alone account for the fact that the grave
claims comparatively so few of those
who seek to des stroy the evidence of their
shame, by surrendering themselves to
the blood stained hands of the abortion
list, yet many fair girl is cut off in the
prime of life and carries to her last rest
ing place the fearful secret of her deg
radiation, and the rash resolve that fol-
lowed in the wake of it. We repeat,
then, that although the public is less fire.
quently startled by the action of the au
thorities in the development OF the dark
crime, it has nevertheless increased in
extent, and great caution, combined with
advanced surgical science, alone furnish
the reasons for the secrecy which the
criminals are enabled to spread over
their doings.
An incident has come to our knowl-
edge, which furnishes a pretty accurate
estimate of the number Of individuals
engaged in the villanous trade, and also
gives us an insight into the terms which
they impose upon their customers A

GOLD MINES on THE AMAZON.

Report says that these mines extend,
so far as discovered, about 40 leagues
along the river, and their position, as
near as discoverable, from the indistinct
accounts, is about 3, S. lat and II W.
long, and about 800 miles south east of
Guayaquil. These diggings have lately
been discovered, and it is Only month
since we received the first news of them.
1t is said that a laborer has dug as much
as 25 pounds in day. We confess
that we place little confidence in the
report Such news has been in circu-
lation along the eastern side of the Andes
in Peru and Bolivia, centuries, but it is
very many years since any productive
places have been worked.
Nearly every person familiar with that
country, is confident that the soil is ex-
tremely rich in mineral wealth, particu-
larly in gold and silver; but little pro-
duction and few discoveries can be
expected, until Europeans or Americans
take the matter in hand. We do not
remember having read of the working of
any placers near these mines, said to
have been discovered lately, but in other
portions of Peru, there were gold mines,
the production of which, was unsur-
passed until the discovery at Suffers
Mill.

MEXICO.

BY the late news from Mexico we per-
ceive the Camanche Indians, powerful
and wailike tribe, are again desolating
the northern States of that Republic, or
as the Executive has ordered, the ''de-
partments.of that Empire" These fu-
dams are inveterate foes and intense ha-
ters Of the Mexican people, and have
been long IN the habit OF descending on
the Haciendas and Ranches along the
entire northern line, from Parras to Du-
Ialgo, and driving off large quantities Of
their best stock. In this accustomed
pursuit they have often been met by
force, but the Indians have generally
been successful in such engagements.
Thus the people live in continued
dread Of the Indians, and, for mutual
protection dwell in small villages, contain
ing three to ten families, surrounded by
a strong adobe wall accomplishing an area
of two to five acres. Their houses are
composed Of the same material, with fiat
roots, above which the walls, perforated
with port holes, rise about three feet.
Through these holes, protected by the
wall, the Mexicans sometimes7 defend
themselves when attacked.
When the fearful news of Indians be-
ing in the vicinity becomes known, the
0lexicaus mount their horses and drive
their most valuable stock within the en-
closure, where they keep them coralled,
mostly without food, for several days, or
until their enemies have left. 1t some
times happens that the Indians are not
so quick in their movements, but their
presence becomes known, and the stock
Of large district coralled before they
have secured their booty. In this case
they are oblge to attack the Mexicans
in their stronghold and break down the
adobe wall to get possession of the stock.
If the Mexicans do not resist, they are Of
ten left unmolested, but if they show
fight and kill one or more Indians the
latter hardly ever leave without putting
to death the whole family or community.
Many of the Ranches are entirely desc
late from this cause, and it is seldom that
others will reside in the place which has
proved so fatal to Its once possessors.
Some of the wealthy inhabitants have
several peiees Of artillery in their court
yards, with ammunition always ready at
moments warning, which they can turn
upon the Indians in defence of their
homes.
These Indians have their head-quar-
tiers within thirty leagues of Durango,
and defy the power of the Mexican Gov
ernment TO dislodge them. In their in
cursions they often capture the children
or members of rich families, and hold
them for releuo1 at such rates as they can
extort from anxious friends The Mex
icaus in this section vii not fight the In
dams, if they can possibly avoid it, as
the reyengeful and daring spirit of the
latter has but too often proved how long
they will remember what they consider

ments, are described IN bright colors by
Prescott III his conquest of Peru. Four
months since, we translated an account
from Valparaiso paper, of placers, dis
covered near the Pancartambo, about
l20 miles east of Cuzco.-These reports
at that time, represented the placers on
tile Pancartambo to be as rich as those
on the Amazon are said to be now, but
the fame of the former has almost been
forgotten.
1t does not appear prudent by any
means for men to leave the rich gold
mines, the American laws, customs and
society, the abundant supplies of all
kinds, the frequent communication by
mail with the rest of the world and other
advantages Of California, for the uncer-
tain placer, the Spanish laws customs,
and society, the absolute want of many
articles which we consider necessaries of
life, the absence of mails and other pri-
vations incide TO life in the interior
of Peru. 1t ltappears, however, that Cali
toTnlans are too sanguine, restless and in
quisitive to leave any gold mines on the
Pacific without all examination, aud we
shall willingly see party of our miners
to 60 to th,' mines of Peru; for though
they may obtain information which will
be of value to our State; and possibly
they may, by superior intelligence and
experience, be Of essential aid to the
natives in the discovery and development
of the mineral resources of Peru.
To get to the new mines on the ANA
zon, the course would be to 90 to Pana-
ma, and thence take Pacific Steam
Navigation Co.'S steamer and 90 to Qua
yaquil, Payta, or Lambayeque, which
are nearly equally distant from the mines,
and from all Of which there is probably
a passable trail across the Andes. These
2. S. NJ. Co 5 steamers take only first
class passengers. The fare from Pana-
ma to Guayaquil is SlOO, to Lambaye-
que, $l30. Thence the party would
have to take pack mul for 800 miles to
the mines. Lambayeque would proba-
bly, be the preferable port, on account
of its being in the Peruvian territory, so
that there would be no boundary to cross
which is sometimes troublesome and
expensive affair in the capricious South
American States

best port would probably be Islai, (pas-
sage meney from Panama, $2I0. and
thence to the Pancartambo is about $50
miles. To travel with comfort through
any portion Of South America, it is i'm
portant to have some knowledge Of the
Spanish, to be furnished with letters of
recommendation from some high govern
ment official, to be tolerably we'll dressed,
and to be carefully observant Of the forms
of Spanish politeness: and by paying at
tention to these things the traveller will
often be treated with degree of atten-
ton which he would never receive in
the United States. If well dressed
and polite foreigner, conversant with
Spanish, 90 into town in the interior of
South America, with letter OF recon-
mendation from a Governor OF Secretary,
the people will vie with each other in
their attentions; and the best fare Of the
country will be often furnished without
recommendations, might find it almost
impossible to purchase a meal or a !odg-
ing with money.

quently came to him, and freely made
known their fendish design. In this
case, so far from kicking the 1'gentleman"
down stairs, he, with a view of attempt
ing to prevent the accomplishment of the
crime, readily entered upon the subject,
and, under a plea of an accumulation of
that kind of business already on hand,
sought to find out whether the fellow, in
case he was disappointed by him, would
know some other person to apply to.
The applicant fell into the snare He
asserted, that he had already been to see
a dozen different indiyiduals who pro-
fessed themselves competent to under
take the frightful commission, but that
their mode of proceeding struck him as
dangerous, whilst those whom he consid-
cred safe practitioners were too exorbi-
tant in their demands. HAnd what were
their terms'" asked the physician, "fcr I
intend to charge you good round sum,
too,r these things are not done for a So
note" The fellow then informed him
that Mrs. Restell had asked him $500,
Costello, 5000, German woman in
Broome street, $3.50, and he mentioned
eight or ten others, the most reasonable
of whom offered to murder child and
endanger the life of a mother for t,osnty-
fre dollars. Shocked by what he had
heard, the countenance of the physician
probably gave evidence cf the state Of
his feelings; for when he, under some
trivial excuse, left the room for the pur-
pose of issuing orders to procure the at
tendance of a policeman, the wretch
stealthily sneaked out, and, after clear
ing the basement steps, ran off in hot
haste; pursued, but not overtaken, by
the conscientious doctor His name he
did, of course not tell, but he may easily
be known by the mark of a ring-worm
on his check, and steps are being taken
to ferret him out, that he may be preven-
ted from accomplishing his atrocious
design.
We have the above incident from un-
questionable authority, and cannot doubt
its truth. From as good an authority
we have the estimate Of the total num-
Der engaged in these dark practices,
But no means can be devised to put
stop to them, for as specific cases do not
come to the cognizance of our Police
Justices, no interference can take place
IF, however, through accident or want of
caution, one of those fearful secrets
should leak out, we have no doubt that
the laws will be signally vindicated, and
that a most rigorous punishment will fall
to the share of the offender N. Y
