The GARDINER MIsEs.-The BaltiT ore
Sun of Saturday has the following Laragraphs,
contradicti7g some stories which have been
set afoat since the return from Mexico OF the
Commission sent thither TO obtain evidence
relative TO the Gardiner silver mine:
Several statements have reached US, from va.
rious sources, some of which have appeared
in the Sun, purporting TO give the result OF the
exploration by the Gardiner commission in
quest of the celebrated silver mine.
Yesterday we had an interview with Nj
Henry May, the chief officer OF the commits
sio n, and learn from him that all these publi-
cati. ms are unauthorized, and that none of
them emanst t. from the members of the boa I'd
who are under strict I'M motions IF secrecy.
Moreover, he intimates very properly, that
whatever evidence may be ia the hands of the
Commission, Gardiner is entitled to an unbi-
ased public opinion. in the position he occu
pies before the country, as an individual await
ing legal investigation before proper trbu-
nal.
A paragraph from the Alexandria Age, to the
effect that the party was fred u pom by robbers,
and that the fire was CALAMITY returned, and
six of the assailants killed, is sheer fabrica-
ton. Nothing of the kind occurred, and no
opportunity for "the display of GOODNESS aud
bravery" so gratuitously attributed TO the
party, was at any time afforded them, however
heroically disposed they might have BEEN
