W The new President of the Pheni

w The new President of the Pheniz
Gold Company, Mr.. John Stagg, has just re.
turned to New York from visit to the mines
and has made favorable report. The mi.
ming property situate in Cabarras county
N. Carolina, consists of about 100 acres
nearly every acre Of which u, strictly speak
ing, mineral land. A portion has been work.
ed for over century, and is of established
character. Other portions nre now being
worked in addition. The Chilean mills and
six head Of stamps worked by steam power,
crushing and grinding about 100 bushels Of
ore by day, are in efficient operation, and
another mill will soon be added. The report
says:
With the present amount Of machinery
our daily yield Of gold is more than double
all expenses, and when, in about six weeks
hence, the third mill shall be completed, our
receipts will then insure 10 US net profit,
above our expenses, Of no less than $3.50 a
day, sum equal to 60 per cent. per annum
on the present market value Of our stock
The mines are capable Of producing any
quantity of ore, and all that is wanted to
make our income still larger, is the addition
of more machinery, for which there are am.
pie funds in the treasury.

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, ArRrL 81.

| "A"uAo "S nEniL q d
The Senate adjourned to-day over to Mon
day next, after discussion of the Indian Ap.
preparation Bill, which they have very mate.
rally amended.
No attempt was made to reconsider the
vote on the Mexican Treaty. The Treaty is
now officially before the President, and he has
had consultations upon it with the Secretary
of State and Gen. Almonte, the Mexican
Minister The President has expressed his
gratitude to Senator Dawson for the active
and influential part he took in reviving and
adopting the treaty project. Mr.. Dawson,
Mr.. Shields, Gen. Rusk, and Mr.. Pratt, appear
to have been the Senators who took the
Treaty on their shoulders and carried it
through.
1t is presumed the President will propose
no alteration to the Senate project. Should
he do this, however, and should Santa Anna
make alterations, the ultimate fate of the
treaty will he very doubtful. Santa Anna
can only object to the reduction of the amount
of his indemnity, and to the rejection of the
clause which exonerates Mexico from obliga.
tons on account of private claims of Ameri.
can citizens, arising under or since the treaty
of Guadalupe.
Some suppose that by the next arrival from
Mexico authority wiltbe. received from Santa
Anna to accept my terms that will give him
q handsome sum in ready cash.

the New.York Journal of Commerce states
that Mr.. Borland, our Minister in Central A.
mcrica, has sent home Treaty, by the hands
ofthc Secretary of the Legation, Mr.. Beelan,
and made with Nicaragua. The Treaty pro-
vides that the United States shall recognize
as established, the boundaries of Nicaragua
and includes the Mosquito country within
her limits. The United States Government
is thus made to guarantee the disputed claim
of Nicaragua, to the country of the Mosquito
Indians.-The object of this treaty is, says
the Baltimore American, of course, to place
the U. S. Government in hostile position
towards the Government of Great Britain on
this question, in pursuance Of tho policy a.
dopted by Mr.. Squicr, while he was Minister
to Nicaragua.
