CALIFORNIA ExPoRTs.--Mooney' Express
gives this list of California exports: "gold,
quicksilver, sugar (?) wheat, barley and
dead Cinnamon; rags that come back as
and rich men who COME back dead broke"
To this list might be added, bachelors who
come back benedicts; discontented wives
who don't come back at all hundreds of NAL
contents who return in raptures ofsjoy, de.
termined TO stay; worn out political hacks,
who leave the country for the country's
good, to plague another one. The last men,
toned product we formerly imported pretty
heavily, nearly bankrupting ourselves there
by; but the market is at last overstocked,
ard We are NOW shipping our surplus to
States and Territories which lack citizens
willing to be sacrificed for the public well
fare. To the above list of exports we may
further add, photographs, ambrotypes, locks
of hair, water marked note paper--a very
rare products faded wild flowers too typi-
cal of the fading memories of the senders
VOWS of deathless love-very cheap and
common; sighs for home-more natural

MEXICO.

The specie. the stoppnge Of which by Gen.
Robes occasored so much alarm to the mer-
chants Of Vera Cruz-atleast the S725 900 destined
for this country ss arrived ssfey at New Orleans,
and the rest is clipped for Europe. The refusal
OF the commanders Of the British aud French
ships at Sscrfcios to receive the specie, except
at the II quest of tic owners. which they declined
TO make, obliged Robes to allow the money to pass
through Vera Cruz-not, however it is said, With
out securing to himself handsome little douceur
of $4,000 1t appears that in the demand made
on Roblss, Mr.. McLane acted not merely for the
Americans interested, but for certain German mer-
chants resident at Vera Cruz, who had appealed
to lin, ms their Governments had 40 representa-.
tiyes there, to act 10 their behalf.
The Tennessee brings news Of decree issued BY
President Juarez, confscsting the property OF tie
Church 10 the ufe of the State. Such decree
may serve well enough as proclamation of the
principles, objects ard intentions Of the Con'ttu
tional party but as practical measure it is OF no
sort of consequence. In the first place all the
most valuable possessions Of the Church are in that
district of the country including the capital and It's
neigbboIhoO over which Juarez has no authority
In the second place, were lis authority generally
acknowledged and firmly established, this transfer
of the estates Of the Church to secular owners Is
thing much easier to decree than to accomplish
The Government can raise money on these estates
only by selling them, but few are ready to buy ex-
cept at very low rates indeed, since perhaps, the
next day the clergy m,y get up revolution, by
the aid Of which to reclaim possession OF their
property The Church is much more likely to be
stripped Of its estates by alterations of its own to
rase money with which to defend the remainder,
than by any direct interference on the part Of the
Government
The telegraph also reports, as part OF the news
brought by the Tennessee, that the slooP of.war
Brooklyn has on board the project of treaty be-
tween Mexico and the United States Whether it
is the project Of Mr. McLane or President Juarezi is
not stated. There are all sorts Of contradictory
reports about the state of this Mexican nego,ia-
ton. According to one account, treaty has
already been made, and is now under consideration
at Washington. Other accounts represent Nr.
McLane as dis gusted snd tired out with the Chi
canery and delays Of the Mexicans, hopeless Of ac
completing anything, and anxious to return home
The difficulty is that the negotiators on both sides
only want exactly what the other party cannot
give Mr.. McLane wants territory, but Jusrez is
prohibited by tie Constitution from cediog any.
Juarez wants money and military asss ,ance, but
Mr.. Buchanan just now has enough to do with pay
irg bis own servants without undertaking to
furnish Juarez with money. 1t is, therefore, not
Wond. rful that the negotiation sticks.

THE NEW ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH

1t is settled that an attempt is to De made to lay
a rev Atlantic Telegraph. The British Govern
ment have guaranteed six per cent on the capital
necessary to construct it, provided the cable shall
work. On it's face, this proposition does not ap-
pear to amount to much since every telegraph
man believes that working line across the Allan
tie would be a great paving property. Yet the
guaranty is sufl ,ient to induce capitalists to em
bark in the enterprise, while without it they
would not do so, principally because 1t Is be-
lieved by practical telegraphists that the existing
Atlantic cable can be resuscitated and put in COM
plete working condition. If this should be done, a
second line might not prove to be a profitable in
yestment.
The belief in resuscitatiOn Of the existing cable
rests on the hypothesis that it is not broken, but
that the Ell glish shore eud has been Destroyed
the conducting wires "burnt out" by the heavy
batteries used BY the English operators in trying
to force through their messages. /. Is known
that an extraordinary Jealousy Of American skill
ard invention was felt and exhibited BY English
electricians at the time the cable was la d, and
that, with true John Bull pertnacity, they would
know more about working an Atlantic Telegraph
than they did. The managers Of the line on the
other side also felt confidence in their own scen-
iifc men, and so allowed experiment after expert
uebt TO be made by them, until at length the work
ing power of the line gave out altogether. The
American operator has thus never had any chance
whatever to test his skill and invention in regard
to it. The private history of the mans cement of
affairs in working the cable thus discloses
story of suspicion, and jealousy, and rivalry truly
surprising, considering the magnitude Of the in
terests involved The details are of no public
importance beyond the alleged fact that they have
resulted in destroying the working capacity of the
cable
This allegation is, however, attended by the COM
forting assurance that the difficulty is not past
remedy. 1t is part Of the theory that the heavy
batteries of the English operators have only de-
stroyed that part of the cable near the shore;
that will be found that instead Of the cable being
broken four or FIVE hundred miles from the Irish
coast, according to the generallyreceiyed theory,
il is not broken at all; and that but very few
miles Of the cable Will have to be lifted and
replaced, in order to put the line in good working
condition.
To this object the efforts of the American interest
in the line are now being directed, with great con-
fdence in their success. And it is the fact that
this confidence exists which makes the guaranty Of
the British Government Of so much consequence,
and stimulates activity both in the construction OF
the new and in the revival of the old line.
We thus have strong hopes that the day il not
distant when We .h.u have two te!egrapas workin 9

SALIENT FEATURES OF THE WAR.

Europe has rarely seen war On go gigantic a
scale as that raging in Italy. The campaigns Of
Cor de- and Of Marlborough were far less imposing
The armies Of the Great Frederick dwindle by the
side Of those that recently fought on the Mincio
In the variety and magnitude of their horrid en-
ginery, and in The pomp and circumstance that
surround them, they rival the colossal displays Of
the fret Napoleon.
This war has peculisrities that widely distin-
guish it from i!s predecessors. Though Astounding
IN sIaD features, picturesque incidents and grand
results, that in which it most impresses rejecting
observers il the changes wrought by science and
time, stree the battle of Waterloo, in the materials
Of great armies, and 10 the mode Of welding them
during proIacted campaigD. We will group TO-
gether seine of the more noteworthy Of these, pre-
misng that they are novel only in their application
to war; being quite commonplace in other rela-
tOns.
Among the more obvious Of thete changes is the
transportation of troops and warlike material by
steam power The French army Of 1856
marched to Italy weary and footsore, around the
spurs Of the Maritime Alps That Of 800, follow
ing the track Of Hannibal, scaled BY painful steps

OIIUM CUM DIG..---NOT WANTED--.A
