GEN. MosouERA--We publish in to-days h.
RAID very ably written reply from the pen
of Gen. Mosquera to communicable recent
ly published by MS, signed "South America"
Public attention 10 now being drawn towards
South America; eW interests there are rapidly
multiplying, and we publish with pleasure
anything calculated to give correct ideas of
that country.
Gen. T. G. de Mosquera will be recognized
by many of our readers as the author. the
South American statesman and the soldier. He
possesses wondrous versatility of mind, and
extraordinary Commemorative powers. As a
historian he is the author of probably the best
written life of Bolivar-the Washington Of
South America--that has ever been written
He has written the history of the last revolu-
tion, in which he played very prominent part
of the drama, and has, indeed, given to the
world q great many articles on his country
and on the various Sciences which justly cnt-
tie him to a rank among the first men of the
age in point of literary character.
As a statesman, he was the fourth President
Of the republic of New Granada; presided over
the nation for the period of four years. His
administration is marked by its enlightened
policy from that time TO the present, and he
is now member of the New Granadian Senate
He has always struggled to introduce into
his country the arts of agriculture; to cult
yate industry by Offering inducements and by
appealing to their pride and interest. But
above all, he has endeavored TO do it by cut
ting the cord which seemed to bind his country
to the dead bodies Of the European monarch
les and unite it with its proper companion, the
government of the United States At last he
can ilatter himself of speedy realization of
his cherished hopes. The two republics are
fast making themselves acquainted with each
other, and will soon find that they are born of
the same mother.
As soldier, his life is full of interest. He
commenced his military career in the army of
independence, as the aid-de-camp Of the great
liberator, Simon Bolivar. In very brief
space Of time he rose to the rank of Major
General. He is known as the "bravest OF the
brave" and distinguished himself in almost
every battle in his country from the year 1906
to the present day. He was in this city when
the last revolution was brought about by the
treason of Obando, who had Just been elected
President, and one Melo, who was placed at
the head of the army On hearing of the re-
volt, General Mosquera instantly left for New
Granada II is said that he invested 100000
in arms and ammunition. and with this "ma-
terial aid" landed in New Granada. His coun-
trymen hocked to his standard and with the
sword of Bolivar in his hand, presented to
him by that great man, with the injunction
that he should ever be ready to unsheath it
when the liberty of his country demanded, his
march to Bogota was but series of glorious
victories. He fought his last battle upon the
plains of Bogota, and took the city from
Mclo. He here took Melo prisoner, and res
tored peace and the constitution again to his
country.

from the extracts which we have given from

exalted opinion of the editor of the HERALD,
Or New York society; yet we have sufficient
regard for the Saints to warn them in season

we perceive how such law would conflict
with the doctrine that the will Of the people
is the supreme law, for are not the Territories
the domain of all the people of the United
States?
General Cass, who seems to have thoroughly
studied the subjects of "squatter sovereignty"
and religious liberty, is the man for this bust
ness. We hope he will give us his views, in
the Senate, upon the suggestions we have
thrown out, on the first convenient day after
the meeting Of Congress.

But the shipments are after all the safest
guide. Taking them as our guide, we shall
come TO the conclusion that between its first
discovery and the end of the year Australia
will have yielded, in round numbers about
$ls0,OO0,000 worth Of gold, nearly Sl70,0OOOOO
Of which has gone to England. California,
from the time of its discovery to the end of
September last, is usually considered to have
yielded about $3200OO,OO0 which leaves
$l40,0O0,OO0 as a margin for the two years
during which it exported gold before Austria
LAS treasure was known.
What gives Importance to the gold move
ment in Australia is the fact that the very ex-
istence of the Bank of England seemed, at
our last accounts, to depend upon the arrival
of large supplies from thence. Nine hundred
thousand pounds sterling had arrived in single
week, but the utmost the British bank hoped to
retain was two out of the nine. The rest went
to France. When the steamer left, the hope of
the commercial world was for more supplies
of gold. Now, if it turn out that Australia
has swelled the first six months Of the year at
the cost of the last-if, for instance, the total
export Of 1855 be only like the two previous
years, some forty.two millions, leaving only an
export of $l4 100000 for the six months from
July to December, what will the British mer-
chants do?

New JERSEY PoLrrIcs-THE SENATORIAL
QuEsTIoN-THE Rev. JOSEPH A. ScovILLE.-
The New Jersey Legislature, like our own, is
an inexplicable mixture of wings, democrats,
Know Nothings and temperance men. And
they have also the question coming shortly
before them of the election of United States
Senator, yea perhaps two Senators; for while
Mr. Thompson's term expires in 1857, Mr..
Wright it is said, intends to resign this winter.
Gen. +. V. r. Wright, Gov. Rodman Price and
Joseph A. Scoville, Esq, are the candidates at
present in the field for the first OF second va
cancy.
Mcssrs. Wright and Price are clever men, we'll
known to the New Jersey people, and so it is
not necessary to speak of them just now; but
Mr.. Scoville is comparatively new citizen
among the Jersey blues, and his claims and
merits are not so well known over there as on
this side the Barclay street ferry. Mr. Scoville,
then, be it understood owns the Great Spring
Farm, near Newton, including 500 acres of
land, and three fresh water lakes-re-
tired editor, retired preacher of the Cos
pei, and formerly hard shell democrat of the
Tammany school, when Tammany was all
hard and sound. He is now a man of family,
sound practical temperance man, Jersey
democrat, Jersey Know Nothing of very
liberal type, and Jersey farmer on scientific
principles. He has one Of the best dairies if
not the very best, in the State is the owner of
the prize bull Sultan, (short-horn Durham)
and the prize COW Anna, and next year he
calculates upon half dozen other prizes.
Taking all these facts into the estimate, we
must say that the prospects for the ex-editor
of the Pick, in Jersey are looming up finely.
If he can only get the support of the democrats
in both Houses of the Legislature, in addition
to the Know Nothings and the temperance
men, he can dispense with the wings and the
liquor vote, and still be elected by large ma
jority. Furthermore, as he will probably soon
become large stakeholder in the Camden and
Amboy Company, he will doubtless have that
powerful corporation to back him, in addition
to all the scientific farmers in the State Make
way, then, for the Rev. Joseph A. Scovlle.
Call and see him at the Great Spring Farm.
Going to open hotel there.

The Gold sapuly from Australia.

Accounts from Melbourne to the 18th Au-
gust state that the demand for gold dust ex-
ceeded the supply, and that the price b ad
risen to e4 an OF. OF course, IN reasoniD q on
this circumstance, allowance must 'oe made for
the temporary necessities of shi .ppers, which
may alone have been sufficient to cause rise
in the price of gold. We say that it is posi-
BILE that temporary and me,.e local causes may
have produced this sudden alteration in the
value of the precious ~ etal. But such a thing
seems by no means Ak ely, and it is more natu-
raj to suppose that the sudden rise was due to
falling of in the, amount brought by escorts
from the mines
During the first six months of this year the
shipments of gold from Australia reached the
aggregate of 81 tons IL cwt., equal in round
numbers to S27 800, 900, and being at the rate
of $55, 100000 year. This is more than the
years previous, as will be seen by the follow
ing table -
