yield. Several others are very promising,
aDd will probably realize the hopes founded
on them.
The works in the copper mines are every
day more important. The scarcity OF pro-
visions has been no obstacle to the establish
ment of new wares, and the amassing of con-
siderable fortunes in a short time
A correspondent remarks:
The most interesting fact at present is the
speculation in copper mines. You cannot
imagine how the works increase, and what an
Importance they will in time acquire Be-
sides the rich minerals on the coast, particu-
larly towards the North numerous works are
established and extracting abundant ores in
the interior, and in all the chain of noun
tains as far as the Cordillera.
Mr.. Wheelright is successfully occupied in
Europe, forming an association to extend the
line of the Copiapo railroad to several min
ing centres which, besides giving an i'm
mense impulse to her richness, will be a ben
eft to those who take an interest in these
works.

The Great and important evepts-Religious Politi-
cal, and Military-now agitatng the nations of the
Old World, give to these Publications interest and
value they never before possessed. They occupy
middle ground between the hastily written news
items crude speculatiOns, and flying rumors of the
newspaper, and the pOnderous Tome of the historian,
written long after the living interest in the facts he
records shall have passed away.
These Periodicals ably represent the three great
political parties of Great Britain-Whig, Tory, and
Radical-but politics forms only feature of their
character As Organs of the most profound writer's
on Science, Literature, Morality and Religions they
stand, they have stood, unrivalled in the
world of letters being considered indispensable to
the scholar and the professional man. while to the in
telligent reader of every class they furnish
correct and satisfactory record of the current era
ture of the day, throughout the world that can be
possibly obtained from any other source.

RED JAcKET.-As specimen of the Indian mode
of thinking on the subject ofrelgon, we give par
agraph from the speech of Red Jacket, which is
omitted in the common version. When the mission
airy mentioned the Cruciixion, Red Jacket replied {:
"Brother, you white men murdered the Son of
the Great Spirit we Indians had nothing to do with
among US we would not have killed him, we would
have treated him better. You must make amends
for that crime yourselves!'
Red Jacket took part with the Americans in the
war Of 1912, and becoming attached to colonel
who was ordered ona distant service, took his fare
well of him in the following speech - az

earded by me as the highest, when he uses the fol-

between the North and middle forks of Caney river.
1t is the same that was redscoverea oy Mr: Cnng-

before unknown" This description does not snds-

from it. Inay add that have in my possession
not only all that Prof. Mitchell has ever published
on the subject, but also three manuscript letters,
written by him successfully, for pu0.seat,on, out
which he did not think proper to publish, because
each one, at his instance, was submitted to me Tor

errors into which he had fallen, he declined to have
them published. After had written him, at great

PoL1r1cAL TEMER1TY.-The enemies of Mr.. BucH-
ANAN, who are the Know Nothing supporters of Mr..
FILLMORE, have the temerity to refer to the freesol
and abolition traits in the character of the former,
and are Boosting that they have put his friends on
their defense Take care, gentlemen. The latter is
far obnoxious to these charges than the former
and so it will appear if the National Democratic
Party arc obliged to retaliae by referring to opinions
and incidents of "auld lang SINE" There is no dis
position, on our part at least, and We believe none
with the mass of our friends, to degrade Mr.. FILL
MORE. But if Mr.. BUCHANAN, of the purest
men the country has known since the days of WASH
1NaroN is to be assailed for the political errors of
his YOUTH after lapse of nearly half century, and
by vituperat,on and falseAood, the Know Nethngs
will not think it unfair or unjust, we presume we
assail their candidate with truth. W. Com.

The Political ED1roR.-We have the pleasure
ofannouncing to the readers Of the American Banner
that Mr.. John I. Smith, an able writer and zeal
GUS American, who has been connected with the
Mississippi press for fourteen years, has been
gagged to take charge of the political department of
this paper, during the canvass Mr.. Smith, though
a remarkably courteous and amiable gentleman, has
fought five duels, killing his man every time. He
brings into the political canvass, besides general
stock of political information and zeal for the cause
two bowie knives, one of Parson Beecher's Sharpe
rifles, two sx-shooers, and sundry canes and shile
labs, not to speak of two pair Of brass knuckes.
We bespeak for Mr.. Smith a cordial reception by
the press gang
PS-Mr Smith brings into the service fero-
cious pair of whiskcrs and diabolical moustache,
which will carry dismay into the ranks OF the adver-
sary. He has not yet arrived at his post--his da-
guerreotype, by the way, may be seen at Gurney's,
taken in the inimitablc OF that artist.
N. B.-Challenges received from o'clock a. m. to

latter can be attended to during the hour for receive

LORD LANsDowNE ON PUPLIc SPEAK1NG.-During
my drive yesterday with Lord Lansdowne, in talking
Of public speaking, I asked him whether he had
experienced that sort of bewilderment in deliv-
ering himself which he might have observed come
over me at the Devices dinner, and which had once
before experienced for few moments during my
speech at the Revolution meeting in Dublin some
years since, but recovered myself that occasion.
almost Immediately. He said, to my surprise, that
he hardly ever spoke in the House without feeling
the approaches of such loss of self possession,
and found that the only way to surmount il was to
talk on at all hazards. He added, what sppears
highly probable, that those conngon. places which
most men accustomed to public speaking have ready
cut and dry, to bring in on all occasions, were he
