To the Hon. Fernando Wood
sIE-The undersigned, feeling earnest soicitude
in the proper government Of the city where they
side have learned with sincere regret that you have
EXPRESSED desire 70 retire from office at the Close of
the term for which you were elected Mayor Of the
civ; and we address you, not partisan-, but
New-Yorkers, in the hope that you may far defer
to the general desire of your feow-citizens to
otsider that determination. We have observed with
satis faction your close attention TO the arduOus duties
# the ofce srd the jealous efforts you have made 10
in part to tie City Government tie system order aud
efficiency which beit its n-ing magnitude aud in
portAnce as the metropolis Of great empire.
So far the very restricted powers of your office
have permitted, your exertions have been eminenty
successful and considering the obstacles uusvodaby
encountered in the defective organization Of our CITY
Government, you have more than redeemed any
promise made OF expectation entertained At the time
you were elected.
The failure in the Lower House, last Winter, of the
bin which passed the Senate to reform the Charter,
va. great misfortune 10 New-York: but il is conf
deHtly anticipated that the Legislature at It's next
session will yield TO the wishes of the friends of re-
form by adopting such notifications of the Charter
as will enable you 10 complete the various improve
mens in the municipal administration which you have
minated during your present term.
Your feOw-clt!Zens have noticed with pleasure mat
wherever your power extended-as, for example, 10
toe Police Departmental has been successfully ex-
eIted for The protection and security OF the people;
and in the frequent and fearless exercise OF the Vets
power we have seen the proofs of an lnexoe deter
limitation to enforce wholesome maxims Of economy
and int gritty in the Municipal Legislature. Believing
that in expressing the sentiments embodied IN this
note we are the opponents Of large majority of the
electors Of the city earnestly desire that You will
again place your name al the disposal of your fellow
citizens for the Office Of Mayor and rest assured dear
Sir that in the appreciation and gratitude wi,ch
generous and intelligent community always cherish
for faithful public officer, you will hhd CERTAIN
guaranty of your triumphant reelection.
With high respect, we have the honor 10 be

Mn. BRoDERrcK's LErrER-In our columns
will be found the correspondence between Gen.
Redington, Chairman Of the State Central Com
mittee, J. P. Dyer, Mayor Of Sacramento, and
Senator Frederick. The reply Of Mr.. Brode-
rick is Straightforward and to the point and
completely refutes the many base falsehoods
which have been industriously circulated against
him by political aud personal enemies. The
assertions of the Sacramento Union, and kindred
prints, that be is making war upon Mr.. Buchan.
ans administration, are the inventions Of polit-
ical hucksters, and made for the purpose Of re-
viving the old feuds in the party. 1t was
through the influence Of Mr. Broderick and his
friends that our delegates to the late Cincinnati
Convention were instructed to vote for Mr.. Blu
chanan, and by the intrigues Of the very men
that are now abusing Mr.. Broderick those in
structions were violated. If there are any
Democrats In this county who imagine that Mr..
Broderick lie trying TO create dissensions in the
party, we advise them to read his letter.

A DEMOCRATIC TEsr.--In Sacramento, Sierra,
and some other counties, the Democratic Cen.
trail Committees have adopted the rule that no
one shall be permitted to vote at the Demo.
cratic primary elections, who did not vote the
Democratic ticket at the last election. The rule
we think, is good one, as II will have the eff
feet Of keeping out of our ranks many disorgan-
izing tricksters, and professional ofice-seekers,
who may be disposed to join the party for no
other purpose but to create discussions. Those
who really desire to join the party from princi
pie will not refuse to do SO In consequence Of thii
test. In Nevada, the Central Committee have
taken no action upon this subject, and we pre-
sumo the question as TO who are Democrats will
be left to the judges Of the primary elections
and to the Democratic voters Of the severa
precincts where the delegates to the County
Convention are held. Eli

For some days past reports have been In cir
culation that defaleatIon to heavy amount
has been discovered in the melting and refining
department Of the U. s. Branch Mint at San
Francisco. This department Of the Mint has for
some years been under the charge Of Col. Har-
azthy. It seems to lie admitted by his friends
that there is large deficiency in his depart
ment, and they attempt to account for 1t by
saying that the gold has escaped up the Chin
ney in the form of vapor. 1t is even said that
some 5000 ounces Of gold has been found in
the chimney and on the top Of the adjoining
houses. This explanation is anything but sat
isfactory. II such large quantities OF gold had
lodged on the roofs of houses in the neighbor-
hood Of the Mint, It would have been discovered
long ago. It Is thought chat the expression "ln
horn,n will now become obsolete, and give
place TO the more appropriate one, cup chin.
ney"
The matter of the alleged defalcation is now
being Investigated by Mr.. J. Ross Brown, the
financial agent Of the government, and in the
course Of q few days we shall probably know
the truth. The public are requested to "sus-
pend their opinion" in the matter until all the
facts are brought to light. ,...

FURTHER FROM SoEoRA.-The San Francisco
Globe says that gentleman who has recently
arrived from Mexico, states that about sixty
miles from Altar be met the company Of Mexi-
can Infantry 70 which the boy, spared in the
brutal massacre Of Crabb's expedition, had been
assigned. He appeared to be In good health,
although bis spirits we're much depressed; and
although treated with comparative kindness by
the soldiers, be wssoempelled TO carry musket
with them. The informant states that through
fear Of jeopardizing the poor fellows safety, he
was restrained from attempting counsel or as
sistance. He seemed to be of the opinion, how
ever, from what be gathered from some Of the
officers, that the boy would soon be liberated.

INNATE DEPRAvIrY.-The San Joaquin Repub-
hcdn of the I'd instant says 1--WE were forci-
bly, impressed yesterday with the truth of the
old adagc, that honesty is the best policy by
listening to the evidence against man on trial
for cattle stealing The prisoner was genteel
Intelligent looking man, and previous to his ar
rest and for the crime which has consigned him
to ignorniny aud felon's doom, he bore an en-.
viable reputation among bis neighbors for in
tegrity and strict morality. A Young man with
good capacities, an honest name, and young
and happy wife, he possessed every inducement
to pursue an upright life but yielding to an
inordinate love Of gain, or to an innate propen-
sity to rascality, he took to stealing his neigh
bor's cattle, apparently relying upon his repu-
tation to shield him from suspicion or punish
ment. Now he isa convicted felon--his name
and hopes blasted, his hearth desolaie, and his
young wife broken-heartsd. The way of the
transgressor is hard'-the occupation of the
cow-stealing unprofitable, not to say dangerous
especially when, as in this case. the trangressor
does not so more than six miles from home to
do his stealing

TRADE IN SAN FRANCTsCo.-It certainly is sur
prising that in this city, which would naturally
lead person. says the Prices Current, to sup
pose that nothing whatever was doing, our ex-
ports of treasure should continue so large and
so steady as they do; and we confess the problem
is one which is in itself by no means easy Of So
luton. or course, State containing an adult
population of between three and four hundred
thousand souls must in the course of year con-
sumo o large amount of goods; but, unfortu-
natcly, trade is so split up here, and so large a
proportion of the population is engaged in buy
ing and selling goods. that but very few enjoy
a sufficient share Of the business to be able ever
to make satisfactory report When business
is called brisk, that is when the money market
is easy, and few weeks of active demand
from the country has stimulated prices we buy
from and sell to one another, taking the chances
Of the market for a rise, aud trade is reported
active; but in reality, when we take into con-
sideration the absolute wants of the country,
and the very moderate amount of goods requi-
site to the supply of population not exceeding
one-half that of New York city, it must be evil
dent that we have from the beginning been
operating on too large scale, and that there is
no necessity whatever for such feet Of vessels
being advertised for this port as meets our eyes
on the arrival of each consecutive steamer from
New York. This must account for the large
number of merchants who have declined bust
ness here during the past two years, and how
ever large our shipments of gold may be- we
are forced to attribute them in great measure
to other sources than remittances for goods sold
in San Francisco

The TRANSATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.--We see it
stated in some of our exchanges, that the Sub
marine Telegraph Co. have fixed upon one dol

from London to New York. At this rate, one

in the neighborhood of thousand dollars. The

to raise the price Of their subscription after the

Rich SrRKEs.--We yesterday examined lot
of about ten tons of rock on the platform at the
Boston (French) Mill, from new vein just
opened few miles above Nevada. The rock
presents'exceedingly rich appearance. 1t is now
being crushed The location Is most favorable
for working, having an easy drainage Of about
800 feet
Another lot Of rock on the same platform
from Messrs King & Co.'S vein, near the Win
chester mill, is fully equal in richness to that
which has been previously taken out. 1t Is one
of the most promising veins In this vicinity.
Another vein has been opened within few
weeks upon another part Of the same hill which
has paid as high as $50 to the ton.
As we go TO press the Gold Hill Mill is crush
ing lot of about 80 tons Of rock from School
House Hill, which II is thought will rival in
richness of the famous Allison lead. Several
lots Of rock have already been crushed from this
vein each lot, we have understood, improving
on the former. That now being crushed is es-
timated as high as $500 to the ton.
The lucky proprietors Of this rich strike are
Messrs Stephen Fletcher, Thomas Woodvlle
and Alphonso Morehouse, three energetic
and Industrious miners In whose success we
most heartily rejoice. 1855
Another party recently opened second very
