FRAzER RIVER GoLD.-The amount Of Frazer riv-
gold dust deposited in the United States Branch
Mint at San Francisco, from the 10Th of May the
18th of November, inclusive, is Before melting,
9O9286 ounces; after melting, s386s56 ounces; loss
in melting, 1880 ounces; being 8.35 per cent,
OLA per cent more than the average loss CalifOr
ria gold The total value Of the above 9092:S6
ounces is SAG. $50 S5 From al we can gather the
total amount Of Frazer river gold that has reached
this country since the 18th of May last, is about
S425 Geo. or about $40 900 per mouth for ixmOnths
To extract this amount of gold from two to ten thou
sand diggers, will give a return Of about Sl06 per
man for six months, or about SIS per month. In
making the above rough computation, we do not
think that the number Of dggers estimated to large,
1t rather below the actual fact. A comparison be-
tween the gold yield of Frazer river region, and the
poorest mining county Of California will show great
y in favor Of the latter The San Francisco Nations
al of the 18th ult, says. "a gentleman who return
ed to this city Monday night, from a three
months, tour IN the Northern mines, gives very en-
couraging account Of the prospects for the miners
this season. He believes from all the information
he has been able to Obtan that the yield of gold dur
ing the coming season, will exceed by One~half that
Of any previous year"

ED1rons UNION AND AMEH10An: Some comngni-
cations have recently appeared in your paper con-
corning canvention to be held in this Congress
ional district, suggesting this place Sparta, and
the name Of H. II. Waterson as suitable candidate,
and the first Monday in next January Sc the time to
appoint delegates to the proposed convention, and
the first Thursday in next Bpril as the time Of meet,
ing. Sparta only has been proposed by enc oOmmu-
nioation.
1t is generally understood that Col. J. H. Savage
viii be before this district again to represent the
people in the next Congress; and to appoint dele
gates in his absence, no less than holding the pro-
posed convention so early as the first Thursday in
April, would be taking IN unfair advantage of him.
Why have delegates appointed st so early date,
and in Col savage's absence? What necessity de-
mands it, The object is to have persons appointed,
If such can Be found who viii be unfavOrable to the
ColOnel's nomination. The first Thursday in April
as the day Of meeting, has show Of fairness, but
in fact gives Savage no time, or but little time, af
ter his return from Washington if he comes in the
shortest possible time after adjournment of Con-
gress, TO see and converse with small portion Of
his district Besides, why change the place of meet
ing from the long established one, to Spartas To
effect some end-tO more efeotualy secure the nom
nations Of some aspirsnts and special friends Let
the selection Of delegates be postponed till Savage
has time 10 return and see his CONSTITUENCIES and
then, if they prefer some other aspirant Savage
and his friends vii! submit. Let tie whole thing be
delayed till May; and then let smilhville be the
place Of meeting has heretofore been done.

CsFeeIy's Plan for a Union between the
Northern Republican and the Southern
Americans.
HORACE GREELEY, the editor of the New York
Tribune is man fertile in e1pedients, and is will
ing to do almost any thing to beat the Democracy.
He is not troubled with principle if it seems to be
in the way Of partisan success. He is very anx-
ious that the Americans in the Southern States
should unite with the Northern Republicans at the
next Presidential election In order to bring about
the union he makes the following generous PROPOSE
ton. He says in the Tribune Of the 9Th inst
awe propose that the Republicans, as the larger
section Of the Opposition, be permitted to name one
of their number for President, TO be sustained by
The entire Opposition, while the American and Ma
tiOnal Wings propose the Vice President. The
ticket thus formed ehsi be supported by the entire
Opposition, each party and each State making its
own platform, and none being committed to any
but his own doctrines or propositions and the United
Opposition TO be designated Republican, Ameri-
cam Union Peoples party, whatever else its
voters in any LEGALITY may choose"
In case this is not acceptable the Tribune oracle
is willing to go step further. He says:
"Let The other wing of the Opposition name the
President, coneeding the Vice>PresideBt to the
Republicans, with this single condition, agreed to
ell hands and proclaimed to the public, that The
Administration thus formed sh0 do all N ITS DOlvsr 10
eolfas slavery '0ith The limits Of the eTistiRg Stare
States.
Is this asking too msch?'
What say the Southern Americans? Which Of
GREEIEy's offers will they accept The Tribune
programme is significant as en- evidence of the
willingness Of the Republicans to accept CRITTEN>
DBN, BELL or any Southern man for President that
they think they can beat the Democracy with.

Foreign war vessels are lowering around the coast
of Mexico almost as ihiekly as earrion around a

two brigs, and one frgate, has anchored at Sacri-

there. and three more were daily expected. It was
also suppo0ed that three British war vessels would
arrive there soon but no American war vessels

ed success and it is said that an attack will shortly
be made upon Vera Cruz by the partisaus of ZuOsgs

Hard Times at the West--Effects of
ISDecuFafiOu.

Speculation.
The late revulsion laid its hand heavily
upon many Of the cities and towns of the West where
the credit system was expanded to an enormous ex-
/ tent, and now nothing is heard from them but a
terribly earnest CRY of "hsrd times" The Boston
Journal says:
The city Of Chicago, which has been the great
headquarters of speculation at the West, and where
store lots two years ago were Eo'h almost untold
gold, feels the reaction with great severity. BUSH
ness is emphatically down in the "hard pan" What
trade there exists limited to the actual necessities
Of commerce and the improvements" which depend
ed on flush times are greatly retarded. The price
of labor building materials and produce of all kinds
has fallen one hundred per cent in year and half
Real estate is kept up by making no sales, except
forced ones Mortgages are not foreClosed by land
agents for the reason that it would prove loss to
the holder as not enough has been paid by the pUr~
chaser to make up the difference of depreciation in
value since the purchase was made, TO the present
time Hence it is for the interest of the creditor to
obtain another payment on the land. The number
of unOecupied stores and houses already counted by
hundreds, is increasing daily.
At st. Paul, Minnesota, rents have declined TWEEN
ty five to Fifty per cent, while real estate has, on an
average lost third of last years valuation. Out
side Of the city the decrease has been greater.
Wages have partaken of the downward tendency and
laborers who last year obtained Sl.50 per day,
this year forced to be content with ninety cents.
From Iowa. too there is general cry of hard times.
We hear of young men who have gone from this Sec
ton to the West during the last six months TO seek
employment, who came back with very different no
tions Of the resources of the West from what they
had when they started, and purses sadly depleted.
These evidences Of peeuniary suffering at the West
are by no means pleasant to record. Not only are
many of the sufferers our old friends and neigbbors,
but their misfOrtunes react upon US. We trust,
however that the rampant spirit of speculation which
has been SO rife in that section of the country Of
late years has received check which will lead the
people to adopt more cautious policy, and cOnfne
themselves more closely to legitimate operations.

ArizOna---The Apache MISUNDERSTANDING
Intelligence.

Of their numbers, as the country they inhabit IS
