WHAT WILL THE PEOPLE OF THIS CITY Do,
N THE PRESENT CRISIS ?-Nothing is more ap.
parent than the fact, that, in the midst of the
perils by which the country Is surrounded, the
politicians Of all factions and parties, are CON-
many or Mozart Hall and republicans, mode
rate and radical, are equally given over to love
OF self, pelf and power, and most Of them
would sell the dearest interests of the nation
to the highest bidder. In the history of the
United States, there never has been period SO
fraught with present danger or menacing so
great prospective calamity. Yet not the
slightest hope of relief is to be placed IN the
sections and cliques into which all Of our nau-
nicipal politicians are divided. There Is, in
fact, no resource to be found, excepting in the
people. Unless the respectable merchants,
manufacturers, mechanics, laborers, capitalists
and professional men Of the city, bestir them
selves, and begin at the beginning the task of
making public feeling prominent nothing will
be effected. The thoughts of all good citizens
are agitated by the necessity of reconstruc-
ton Of the republic, and the formation of
great reunion party, which shall sweep every
thing before it, but it cannot be accomplished,
until they commence the work themselves. IF
they imagine that the initiative will be taken
by Tammany Hall, Mozart Hall, the Pewter
Mug, or some republican club or association,
they will rely upon broken reed. Great
bodies may pass resolutions for buncombe, but
they mean nothing and can accomplish less.
The respectable. masses of the community
ehould rise at once; cast off past party alli-
.ances, and any bonds that may have shackled
them, and unite upon the basis Of such amend
ments to the constitution as may restore the
country to its pristine happiness and integrity.

The Works of the Spanish Company al

The editor of the Enterprise recently
paid visit to the works OF the Spanish com

1--WE are surprised to notice the improve,
ments recently made, and the perfect system
which pervaies the entire establishment.
Every department of their reduction works
is systemalized. and everything moves like

The mill is now crushing and reducing
eleven and one half tons of ore per day.
Sixteen stamps are used for crushing Two
new furnaces have been erected and they
can now roast their rock AS fast as crushed.
Two processes are used for anal gamating-
the Frevberg and the Thayer--both of
which work admirably. The Thayer process
is worked by Uowiands tlue plans, of which
they use twenty, and is considered perfect
success Twenty revolving barrels are used
in the Frey berg process. This method has
long been known as one Of the best ever
discovered for extracting silver. Different
qualities Of rock are worked 10y the different
methods-the richer quality, yielding from
S40O to $500 per tun being worked by the
pans, and the poorer quality, yielding from
1925 TO 5000 per tun, being worked in the

and has thirty six men constantly employed,
in addition to which there are ten or twelve
men employed in the mine. Quite mum

in gettin. wood, salt, and other materials
for the works.
The mill, which is under the able supelin-
tendence Of Mr.. Theodore Winters, is yield
ng.equal to the most sangune expectations
of its owners. With the Improvements re-
Gently made it is anticipated that during the
month OF August the mill will yield from
100000 to. 10000. The monthly expenses
of the company are $4,000. They have
their own assay and smelling works, and
now run their own bars.
The officers at the works are: Theodore
Winters, General uperintendent; Mr.. Tomp-

CANDID IoNs.-Governor Sprague,
of Rhode Island, who behaved so gaIIantly
on the battle field before Manassas, frankly
declared to the Legislature of his State the
other day. that 1--WE have been in error as to
the strength of the enemy" and that "the
war will of necessity be a long one" The
New Bedford (Mass) Mercury, hitherto one
of the most rabid war papers, makes an
equally frank admissions:
at can not be denied that we are dlsap-
pointed at the formidable aspect the rebel
lion has assumed. We thought to have sup
pressed it in few weeks, and supposed the
South would yield at once before the enthu-
siastic rush of Union men to arms in sup
port of the Government. We have made
mistake in our estimate of the strength of
the rebsls; have we made another in the
confidence we have placed in our own? Is
it true that the South carries with her the
sources of certain failure, or shall we not
rather be compelled to yield to her demands
not as matter merely of policy and self
interest. bn. Of sheer necessity7"

The New York Worlds Paris correspond
ent communicates the following IN reference
to the probable action of France and ENC
land:
"PARIs, July 2G.-lhe Paris correspond
ent of the London Morning. Chronicle, Il
few mornings since, contained statement
to the effect that tbe Imperial Government
had fully decided to recognize the Southern
Contederacv, aud that NJ. de Monthoon, the
French Consul General at New York, had
already been selected as the ChDrge d1f
fdires of France, near the Court OF the New
Dahomev. Now am satisfied that there IS
not word of truth in the statement.
With the exception Of NJ. Reuter-, the MINI
lister Of Commerce. as nearly AS | can learn,
every member of the ministry is opposed TO
the recognition, until the rebel States have
shown their ability to maintain themselves
and the Government exhibited its inability
to maintain themselves, and the Government
exhibited its inability to crush out the rebel
lion. Persons in authority say here that of
course there must be an end to the present
relations, and that the policy of France is
to recognize de facto governments. FROM
all I can gather, 1t IS my belief that unless
w;thin the course of the nert three months
the Government has the traitors pretty aceU
hors du combat. France and England aciN
both recognize them as an independent go0-
ernmeat."
The Fortress Monroe correspondent Of
New York Tribune writes about a rumOr
prevalent and credited at the Fort. He
says:
There is an apparently well authenticated
rumor here that Louis Napoleon will rccog-
nize the Southern ConfedeIacy at an early
day. and that the French Consul in New
York expects to be recalled and sent as EN-
bassador to the Court Of jeff. Davis. So
direct and apparently auth ntic is this that
gentlemen not often thrown from their bal
ance by mere rumor credit the statement"
If such were the givngs out before the
battle at Manassas, what will be the tone OF
France and England on the receipt by them
of the news of that occurrence9
