NEWS FROM MEXICO

A WONDERFUL SToRY-HHE GOLD REGIONS OF
CALIFORNIA OUTDoNE-The Santa Fe Gazette an
nouuces the arrival of Mr.. Idler, the {, ,ent and
general director of the mining company organized
some time since in Washington city to work the
Placer mines, near Santa Fe; Mr.. Kuriz, mRchi-
mist from Norris engine shop, in Philadelphia, and
Mr.. Chaplin, millwright, all engaged in the same
business. This, says the Gazette, is a new era in
the history of New Mexico. Two steam engines
with crushing apparatus, are soon to be in opera
ton at the Placer Mines and the question will be
settled as to whether gold abOunds in sufficient
quantities to justify the cost of extracting it by
this description of machinery. If the experiment
prove successful, it must produce q change in the
business of the Territory, for the quantity of gold
bearing earth and rock admitted to be nexhsu =
bic, and there is room for any number of machines
1t has been stated that the gold mines of New
Mexico bid fair to equal those Of California. A
letter from Santa Fe to California paper, gives a
romantic account Of their discovery. The story
goes that a Mexican woman returned from a cap
tiVity Of eight years among the COyotero Apsches
of the Gala country, brings extraordinary accounts
of gold.TeasuresG in the region inhabited by that
tribe.
Before her captivity, she had been peon slave,
aud on her return she offered to take her master
to the gold region, and her accounts were 80 mar
7elous that 4 party of four hundred persons was
organized to go under her guidance. But the Gu
piditY OF some of the more avaracOus got excited,
and in order to prevent this large number from
going, they kidnapped the woman and put her
master in Jail for debt.
Then Lieutenant of the United States Army,
on furlough for three months, organized party Of
thirty-sx men, and went in search of the gold
NINE On reaching the territory of the CoyOierO
ApaChes, they met a party Of these Indians, who
prohibited them from searching for gold, but Of
fered to trade The alternative was agreed to,
aud trade effected, by which the whites gained a
large quantity Of gold. The Indians knew no 9th
er use for the gold than to make bullets Of, and
each warrior had from twenty to thirty ounce balls
about him. The gold thus obtained was tested by
competent chemists, who pronounced it exceed
ingly pure, having very few foreign substances
mixed with it. The woman says that in the re-
gion whence she escaped gold exists ia every quar-
ter, on the surface, and in great quantities and
that there was one large lump imbelded in the
siie of a bin, and jsaIOuslg guarded by the tribe.

Me-. Morton and the Fusion party of that State
l have shown that the difference is as great IS
could possibly be between two parties; the one
planting itself upon the doctrine of the Nebraska
bill, and the other repudiaing it one ready to car
ry out the will OF the people, and announcing
themselves ready, whenever that will was fairly
ascertsined aud expressed, to admit Kansas as a
State, whether with a constitution recognising or
not recognising the institution of slavery.
Upon the other hand, the other party procl aim
ing that they would not admit Kansas as a State
with constitution tolerating slavery whether so
expressed by the people of the Territory or not
| Their battle-cry was "NO more slave Sietes"
| Resistance to the extension of African slavery

Now, under this state Of facts, can the gentle

these two parties and is he prepared to come

wsged in this country involving issues and insti-

psratiVely little to us-yea, even repugnant to the
| tastes and ideas CT our people-that when "the
Kansas aid fund.- was contributing its thousands;
| when the worst passions of the worst men (eVen
| negroes) were aroused against US; when the storm
of fsnatscism was bowling all around US, and the
great army of sectonslists Vas bearing down up
on Us ike an avalanche, there came no words o.
cheer to Us from the Know Nothings of the South,
but there did come q voice from their leading
organ cheering on the enemy, and encouraging tbs
Know Kothings of my State to join the enemy
standard. l want the people of the South to know
that whilst these things were going on in the Know
Nothing camp, thousands Of foreigners by birth
and Catholics (whom the Know Nothings wout

fence of your constitutional rights and in beating
back the cohorts of Black Repubcsnism.
