The Stockton Independent in summing up
the mass of work before the next session Of
Congress, says:
Next in importance to this domestic BUSH
ness, are our relations with Mexico and Can
ada. 1t will be the duty Of this Congress to
speak plainly on our relations with these for.
eign States. We have an interest in Mexi-
can affairs that is just second to our interest
in the suppression Of the rebellion. We
ought not TO tolerate any European power in
that country which displays polity inimical
to the domestic peace Of the United States.
The popular mind of this country is unmis-
takably opposed to the permanent establish
ment of an European monarch in Mexico !;
but when that monarch evidences toward Us
an unfriendly disposition, our opposition
turns to positive hatred, and no party can
hope to long continue in power here, which
fails to recognize this popular feeling. The
very least that the country will expect from
Congress on this score, is a demand for full
explanation from France and the so-calied
Emperor Of Mexico, as to their polity toward
the United States. II this is evaded or is I'M
satisfactory, the country will expect this Gov
eminent to expel Macmillan and his French
hackers from Mexico. We have treaty
with England by which we are restricted
from maintaining an armed feet on the Great
Lakes. On our part this treaty has been re-
ligiously observed. But the Canadas are
swarming with traitors and conspirators from
the States, who constantly threaten the cities
on our northern border. They organize and
arm In Canada, either with the consent or in
defiance Of British authority. They make
destructive and murderous raids into the
States, returning in haste to their neutral
ground and these exploits are cheered and
encouraged by thousands Of British subjects,
and not condemned by the leading English
journals. No raider has yet been brought to
punishmentby the Canadian Courts for vio-
lation of neutrality. We cannot follow them
into Canada with our armies, without vio-
lation Of the law Of nations, nor can we send
fleets upon the Lakes or st. Lawrence with
out violating the treaty above mentioned.
Under such circumstances there Is imminent
danger Of a.war with England, unless the
British Government take instant measures to
expel or punish the raiders; and this ques-
ton will force itself on Congress at an early
day in the session. 5s- I-

TIE FUTURE OF THE SoUTH.-But what of
the late slave-lord? Will he forget his ran
cor also What If he does not His class
was always weak in numbers, and the system
which made it powerful in society is gone,
Some of the once mighty cavaliers will sud
denly sink in the food, and their fossil re-
mains, hattened and petrifed, will be found,
like those Of the antediluvian mastodon, be-
tween the strata of the new social organiza-
ton. Curious biologists will dig them out,
and the children of the South will wonder
how such monstrous animals could ever have
existed. But others will save themselves in
the ark Of the free.labor system. They will
in time see the wisdom Of accommodating
themselves to the new order Of things, and
find out at last that it is better to be an equal
among freemen than to be the master and at
the same time the slave Of slaves. Andpres
emily the South will bloom like the bursting
bud Of flower. The immense resources OF
the soil will, as by enchantment, spring to
light under the magic touch of free labor, and
her riches will be enjoyed by free, happy,
and (who doubts it p loyal people. And then
will come the great day when the people Of
the regenerated South will stretch their hands
across the Ohio and Potomac and say:
blessed be you, brethren Of the North |!
We were sick and wretched, and you have
made US we'll Not only our slaves, but we
also were in bondage, but you have broken
our fettersw This will be peace and concili-
alton indeed reconciliation in obedience
to the great moral laws of the universe, and
to the progressive spirit Of our age j. peace
founded upon harmonious cooperation, mu-
tual benefit, and good will to all men: Such
must be, and such only can be the internal
peace of the Union.-CdrI SchHrz. ..,a

EDUCATION IN THE BRITISH AND FRENCH
ARMIEs.-In blue book on the Army Medi-
cal Department an interesting account is
given Of the state Of education among the re-
cruits in the British army, and comparison
with. that of the French, from which it ap-
pears that Of every 1000 recruits examined
in English districts 239 were unable to read
or write, 81 able to read only, and 724 able to
read and write. In Scotch districts the num-
bers were respectively 1863, l57 and $50. In
Irish districts the result appears as 800, l04
and 578. Compared with the results for 1861,
there is a decrease in the proportion Of I'M
educated in England, but scarcely any differ
ence in Scotland and Ireland. In the young
men liable to be enrolled in the French army
in the FIVE years 1860, the state Of educa-
ton was ascertained to be-out of 1000 re-
cruits unable to read or write, 3l8; able to
read only, 80; able to read and write, $50 (;
SO that the proportion wholly uneducated is
higher than among the recruits for the Brit
ISL army.-Engksh paper.

FROM the Napa Reporter Of the 26th we
learn that the heavy rains Of the past few
days have produced quite a change in the
feelings of our farmers, many Of whom have
been fearful Of dry winter. But little more
rain is now required to fit the ground for the
plow-in fact few have already commenced
where the ground is at all loose. Crops,
generally, will be sown early, our farmers
having determined to run no risks on late
sown crops, nor take chances on late rains.
To those holding large quantities Of grain,
and waiting for higher prices, the present
prospects are not cheering. Wheat, which a
few weeks ago would readily have brought A
cents per pound, was at last accounts dull at
cents, which is not likely to be increased
by the late copious rains. Barley and rye
are being shipped to this State from Mexico
and the southern coast, but in quantities too
small to materially affect the market. Few,
If any, longer entertain doubts OF heavy
winter, and all have hopes of plentiful crops
throughout the State.

The Pirate 9emmeA.
Speaking Of the sailing Of Semmes with

Speaking Of the sailing Of Semmes with a
new piratical craft, the S. F. Flag says:
1t may be that this bold buccaneer will run
his, course for time, and that millions Of
property will be destroyed, before he falls into
the clutches of the government, to which he
is a double-dyed traitor, but as he stands on
the deck of his pirate ship, watching for prey
to destroy, let him look out into the gloom Of
night, and perchance in the visions which
float before his fancy, he may see noble
fleet Of ships, with the Stars and Stripes float
ing fore and aft, and il he look carefully, he
may see hanging to the fore.yard arm, an e.
fgy of himself, and there he may read the
traitors, and the pirates doom. 1t may be
that God denied him the glory Of death in
battle, only to reserve him for the galloWs--
but of one thing hSand his English friends
may rest assured, and that is, that If ever he
trusts himself within the reach Of Uncle
Sans guns again, no mistaken clemency will
be shown to the pirate or any Of his English
allies-no Deerho,a,d, with the lying flag Of
faithless nation, shall stand between the vic
tor and his prize, and if, in the hour Of
triumph in the future, any ofticious meddler
sees fit to interfere, we will sink them to the
bottom with the pirate and his crew, whether
they float the tri-color flag. or the blood red
cross Of st. George.

ConDer md Tin

Copper is comparatively soft metal; tin
is still softer. Combine the two together by
melting them in the same vessel, and the
mass is very hard-much harder than either
when taken separately. Again, copper is
not one of the very heavy metals, and tin is
still lighter than copper. Combine the two,
as above, and you have substance weighing
more than both when taken separately. A
bell made Of copper would sound very dull,
one made of tin would sound duller still-in
fact, it would be utterly devoid Of sonorous-
ness but one made Of combination Of the
two metals is exceedingly and most agreea-
| bly, sonorous.
The results Of these combinations are very
curious, and have elected much study. The
causes of some Of the changes produced by
chemical attraction between the two are still
involved in mystery. Tin and copper are
among the most ancient metals employed by
men, and for long period wero Of more gen.
| eral application than iron, by reason Of the
more refractory character Of the latter, both
in its ore and as a metal. From tin and cop
| per, in all probability, were made the earliest
metallic household utensils and implements
of war. The "brass" spoken Of in the early
scriptures, and BY the most ancient profane
writer's, was doubtless an alloy Of TIN and
copper, and not the composition now known
by that name. Some of the peculiar chemi-
cal affinities ofthese two metals seem to have
been understood at very early period in the
| history OF the earth, and in many respects
| probably better than at the present day. The
proportion of the metals employed for manu-
featuring edge tools have been found, by
careful analysis, to be about FIVE parts Of cop
per to one part of tin. The same relative
proportion is found in the tools which have
been recovered from ancient tombs in Peru,
from mines which were worked in Siberia at
period when time was young, and from the
famous mines III the island of Elba, whose
history had been forgotten even when Virgil
wrote. We are not aware that any other
metals can be so combined as to produce so
complete destruction Of the former proper
ties Of either of the constituent parts. This
change OF properties is produced by "afin-
ity," principle common, in greater or less
degree, in all bodies when brought into
state Of chemical combination.

NEW AMALGAAAToR.-The Black Hawk
(Colorado) Journal describes new amalga-
mating pan lately patented by a Mr.. Kenyon
Of that place. 1t is claimed to be an improve
ment on the Freiberg pan. 1t is described
as having main arm resting on the head Of
a spindle, and driven by gearing beneath the
pan. The arm reaches across the center,
and extends on each side half way from the
center to the circumference. At each end is
an upright shaft, to which is attached clus-
ter OF mullers, eight in each cluster. They
are shaped like fat iron, thirteen inches
wide at the heel, and are made Of French
burr. To the top Of the cone is attached a
stationary cog-wheel, into which mashes
pinions attached to the upright shaft, thus
giving the mullers a constant rotary motion,
besides its motion around the pan. The ad-
yantages gained are, perfectly even wear all
over the pan bottom, and the prevention Of
the centrifugal motion Of the water which
drives the ores before the mullers. The ca
pacity Of the Freiberg pan is one ton every
twenty-four hours, while this pan will thor
oughly digest four tons in the same time.

Our people have responded nobly to the
calls for filling the army, and for aiding the
hospitals, and now have to face their duty to
the Treasury. Suppose for a moment this
rebellion fairly suppressed; who can doubt
that our government, will be rightly regard
ed as the strongest in the world? Louis
Napoleon, by his coup detat, overthrow the
government Of France in a day, and we have
seen other forms of government in the old
world toppled over almost as easily. What
other country than our own could have stood
up against the deep laid conspiracy Of its
own rulers But besides establishing in all
mems minds the intrinsic strength Of repub-
llcan governments, we shatl have developed
resources of military force, and of every
form of national wealth, which have already
astonished the most sanguine among our
selves, and have been a new revelation to the
tnanciers Of the old world.
The shrewd business men Of Holland and
Germany have already discovered this, and
are buying up our stocks while gold remains
high but the more timid wait until our sue
cess is an established fact. When that time
comes, what European stock will be so safe
or so profitable as ourss England is Dor
rowing money, chiefly Of her own people, at
about ninety in gold for three per cent.
stock, equal to about 81 per cent. per annum.
France borrows at about A per cent. per
annum. These are considered the safest
securities in Europe. Will people lend to
either of them at these low rates when they
can get United States Stocks, representing a
free and united people of thirty-three mil
lions, at q rate that will pay them six per
cent. per annum. To-day they are buying
our stock for gold at between forty and fifty,
giving them between twelve and fifteen per
cent. interest, and with the expectation OF
seeing the value go up from its present de-
preston to at least one hundred.
Croakers talk OF our enormous debt. It
is not yet two thousand millions, and this is
divided among twenty-five millions of loyal
people, or t6irty-three millions, North and
South, that will soon be loyal and free. Yet
England, when she had only twenty millions
Of inhabitants on her little island, with large
portions of her fertile land held for the luxu-
ries Of the arist6cracy, easily carried debt
Of 81, 000, 900 900; or more than twice what
ours now is. The rebellion permanently
suppressed, we shall draw from the popula-
ton Of the old world enough men to cultivate
our cheap, rich soils, and to add each year to
our national wealth the full amount Of inte-
rest that we now pay Boston Daily Adrer-
