CHILL.
Correspondence Of Tie n. Y. Tribune.

VALPARAISO, Tuesday May /, 1855.
One has but to spend few months here, making
a journey to the Capital to the mining regions
of the North, and to the agricultural States of the
South. to become impressed with sense OF the
profound repose and lethargy into which every
thing properly Gillian has been now for long
time thrown. This city exhibits activity in com
merce Copapo and Coqumbo in minerals; Con-
cepcOn and TalcahuanO in -four, beans and bar
ley Coronl and Lota in coal. But the moving
force which mpels all this activity is from abroad,
is foreign English, American and German CAPT
tai is at work in all these enterprises, and the
hjos del paiz, the Chilians proper, are only int
tators, and but few of them that even.
Steam navigation along the Coast, which is now
in successful operation as far to the South as Tai
cahuaDO and North to COpiapo; the railroad en-
terprses, the silver, copper and gold mines all are
in the hands offoreigners Anew. Yorker is driving
stages from this TO Santiago, and from TalcahuanO
TO Conception. A New Orker is driving Touring.
mills in the latter place and another is navigating
the Biobio, the largest navigable stream in the
South, with steamboats,.
A few Down casters with their saw-mills and
energy could do more for themselves and this
country in the manufacture of lumber, with less
expenditure of capital, than is accomplished by
any other investment here. All the lumber used
for finer work is from the States or from Central
America. California has sent a few carg0es Of
late but it is easy to that the supplies from
all these sources cannot compare with the demand.
This country abpunds in the finest of timber and
in fine streams, the South of it / mean, for the
erection OF mills.
Besides all this, Chill is most anxious to en-
courage immigration of the right sort, which shall
develop her resources and teach her sons the arts

ern United States are ready to come to Chill :
1t is true the Yankees" are feared here; but
by whom Who is the man who fears them
Perhaps some Spanish editor, or some refugee
from Europe who fears they may compete with
themselves, and teach the Chilians faster and
much better than they can do themselves. know
of no others who fear Yankees here, and the hue
and cry against them has all proceeded from this
source of late.
1t is true the Chilians have heard Of fUibusters
and annexation, and they sometimes fear these.
Give lie then none of your lazy scheming, plotting
Soutkerners who are SO restless at home, and who
only think of extending Slayery-these are all
! Chans fear. Give us Northern labOrers OF
these some thousands are wanted in agri-
culture in mechanical pursuits, in the fisheries,
and in numbering in the South of Chill at the pres
ent moment.
This government has been encouraging immigra-
ton from Europe the past few years and as results,
few hundred Germans, from localities not famed
in the United States have been introduced at great
| expense TO teach the sons of Chill agriculture
and the mechanical arts. need not say that | do
not hear good report of them, or that they are
not what the land wants.
But Northern laborers from the United States
with their families are what are wanted here very
much indeed Shipbuders are wanted to repair
the whaling fleet now resOrting to Talcahuano,
ard Valdiyia and Chloe, and repairing at great
trouble and expense for want of men as well as
of lumber An Englishman from sunderland has
for many years been thus engaged in the most
profitable manner repairing American bottoms in
Talcahusno.
Fishermen, too, are wanted who can catch and
cure the vast shoals of cod and mackerel between
this and Cape Horn, and teach the Chilians
how to do the same. / know of no coast
the face of the earth superior to this for these
purposes at present; and if any other whaleman or
traveller knows Of any superior, let him name it.
In all these things began by say ing that the
people here are imifdtors If they initiate success
