The FEELING AGAINST THE FRKscB IN \,

The FEELING AGAINST THE FRENCH IN MExI.
co.-A gentleman who was recently ban.
ished from Mazatlin for speaking favorably
of the Juarez Government, furnished a
San Francisco paper with some valuable
information concerning the "situation - in
Northern Mexico. He says the French,
who have possession of Mazatlan, are rul-
ing the unfortunate inhabitants with rod
of iron, while Corona, one of Juarez's
Generals who holds the country within a
mile and half of the city walls prevents
all communication with the interior. The
consequence is that provisions are at fam
inc prices, and are only procurable coast
wise. Corona, few days before the
steamer left, captured train Of FIVE hun
dred mules belonging to the French, within
a quarter of mile of Mazatlin. 1t was
reported that there would be large emf
grafton from the European Continent to
colonize the new Territory, but it is be-
lieved that the Mexicans would destroy the
settlements as fast as formed. The people
have such hatred of the very name of a
Frehchman, that it is as much as mans
life is worth to speak syllable in the
French language. Americans, on the con-
trary, are generally respected, except in
certain districts, where there are numbers Of
secessionists, who endeavor to poison the
minds Of the inhabitants against Union men.

Englfsh Method of Separating Lead
from Silver.

In England it is found profitable to sepa-
rate the silver from the lead ore, when the
latter contains but Eve dollars to the ton.
SHOW can it be possible," pertinently in
quires the Receille, " that the miners of
this State can say that they find it imprac-
ticable to separate the two metals, when so
large amounts as several hundred dollars
of silver are present. Either the reports
are false. or our operators are grossly ig-
norant of the business they have under
taken" That journal appends to its re-
marks some interesting information in re-
lation to the English process of working
argentiferous galena, which we will copy
In England the metals are separated by
what is known as the Pattinson process.
founded on the circumstance that when
lead containing silver is melted in suita-
BILE vessel, afterwards slowly allowed to
cool, and at the same time kept constantly
stirred, at certain temperature, near the
melting point of lead, metallic crystals be-
gln to form. These, as rapidly as they are
produced, sink to the bottom, and on being
removed are found to contain much less sill
yer than the lead originally operated on.
The still fluid portion, from which the crys-
time be proportionately enriched.
This operation is conducted in a series
of eight or ten cast iron pots, set in row,
with freplaces beneath. A quantity Of
lead containing silver is placed in one of
the central pots, melted, carefully skinned
with perforated ladle, and the fire i'm
mediately withdrawn. As it cools, it is
stirred with an iron stirrer, and crystals
soon begin to form, which are removed with
a perforated lajle, the fluid lead shaken
out and passed in to the next pot in the
row, and afterwards the enriched lead is
ladled into the pot in the opposite direction.
If the pot at first contained six tons of lead,
containing say twenty ounces of silver,
four tons of crystals may be taken out in
the first operation. These crystals still con-
tain silver, and the fluid. is only enriched
lead, but when the crystals have reached
the last pot in the series, they are nearly
pure lead, and the last pot in the other di-
rection contains an alloy of silver and
lead which is finally purified By cupeliing.,
The cost in England of this process Of
operation Is about $3.50 per ton, and of
refining another 50 so for the ton of rich
ALLOW. In that country labor is the chief
expense the fuel, being coal, svery cheap.
The operation; as carried On largely, re-
auires considerable capital; bit when it is
known that such ores can be worked cheap,
IL and successfully, and 1t is known that
stich ores exist in large quantities, no more
inviting Investment can be offered to the
capitalist. sS

the alleged source of the Nile, has just been
made in South America. 1t is that the
great river Amazon has been found to be
nayigable from one end to the other; that,
in fact, a new route has been opened be-

roma, a Peruvian steamer, which was sent
to explore the Amazon, has arrived at May
70, about three hundred miles from Lima.
The Morono nayigated more than two thou
sand miles of the Amazon proper, and six
hundred of the Yeayali and the Pachitsa
rivers, which, until then, had seen only ca
noes. The country is, Of course, inhabited
only by savages, but it is Of wonderful
