GEN. GRANT n THE PRESIDENCY
Concerning the newspaper discussion as
to the position Of General Grant respect
ing the next Presidential election, and
also with reference to his opinions on the
proposed amendment to the Constitution,
a special Washington dispatch to the New
York Times, says:
Much Of this speculation Is INDUCED In
by political partisans for interested pur-
poses. I can say, upon good authority,
that Gen. Grant will, in no event, be q
candidate for the Presidency at the next
Presidential election, and any use Of his
name in that connection is wholly unau-
,horized and deprecated by the General.
With reference to the proposed Constitu-
ton Amendment. Gen. Grant has on sev-
eral occasions in private conversations
said that he could see no objection to the
Amendment in itself, and be in fact ap-
proves Of its main features, but neverthe-
less, it is the opinion Of the General that
the Southern loyal representatives should
have been first admitted TO their seats, and
a opportunity should have been given
them to vote upon the joint resolution to
amend tie Constitution before the same
was submitted to the several State Legis-
lasures. In brief, his views on the latter
proposition are identical with those Of the
President,
The Washington correspondence Of the
New York Herald has the following,
which, it will be noted, processes to be
authoritative:
It may be stated positively tina, Genernl
Grant will accept a nomination for the
Presidency for the next term from No
party or faction whatever, His nom,n..
ton would be equivalent to an elsc,;on
and his election would necessarily lead ~
his retirement from public life AZ The snS
of his term Of office. he con.;J.,. II.
self yet too young to withdraw into r.,;ra
ment; and, while he has aspirations tor
Presidential honors, with which to e,ovr
his illustrious career, he feels conad.n,
that he can enjoy such honors .ieh, or
twelve years hence as well as now. These
ideas have recently been expre..ed BY
him to his most intimate personal friends,
and are unquestionably the ideas tina,
will control him, Notwithstanding the
powerful influences now being used to
WIN his consent to accept Q nomination.

TIE GOVERNORS OF CuBA.-The foru-
nate Spsniards who become Governors Of
Cuba make large sums Of money. They
receive a salary of $4,000. have a state
carriage furnished them at the public ex-
pense, three palaces to live in, and their
authority is almost unlimited. OF course,
there are enormous pickings under such q
system, and Governor Dulce, who has
recently returned to Spain, is reported to
have made a million dollars. Concha, o
former Governor, carried away s. {, 1000, 900,
whilst Serrano, who was almost a bank
rupt, but a favorite of the queen, was ap-
pointed Captain General of Cuba for the
sole purpose OF recuperating his fortunes.

MECHANICAL AIDS TO SURGERY.-A
Prussian hospital was recently fitted up
for use in the present war in which all the
modern improvements Of surgery are en-
ployed. A circular saw, driven by steam,
i, one Of those, and is to be used in max
ing ampu.ations; the speed with which
it does its work being an obvious sdvan-
tage. The old "sawbone" surgeons will
no doubt be as,onished by it, and, with
a Jaw that makes three thousand revolu-
tons a minute, the unlucky patient, under
the influence Of ether, can have a leg or
arm taken of so quickly that he may no
know either how or when il was done.

NEGRO EauALIrY.-Green Clay Smith,
distinguished soldier in the Federal army.
gave his views about negro equality in a
recent speech, in these words:
II happened TO have seen myself, in
the field, colored men who were volun-
teers in the rebel service; who were cap
tured with arms in their hands, and who
confessed that they had gone into the re-
bel service Of their own accord. l have
seen in the City Of Washington, since !
have had the honor Of being a member Of
Congress, black men whose whole sympa-
thies were with the South, and I must
say in opposition to the gentleman from
Pennsylvania, (Mr. Kelly,) that l did not
feel like hanging these men Of dark COM
plexion who had voluntarily gone into
the rebel army as privates. l wish to
forgive them. Yet these men, as black as
the ace Of spades, went into the rebel army
Of their own accord TO fight against the
Government and against you, and yet you
would not hang one Of them, while you
would hang the white men who volun.
teered as they did to go into the rebel
army"

CALIFORNIA AND NEvADA.-California
and Nevada! these are the great represent
alive States of the Far West. Other re-
gions Of that portion Of our continent un-
doubtedly possesses rich deposits Of the
precious metals, but in extent and exube-
rance of metallic wealth these States excel
them all. California, of course, as the
oldest of the Pacific States, and because Of
the greater development Of her mineral
resources, still holds the first rank, but
there is every prospect that she will, ere
long. find a formidable rival in her youn-
ger sister. Nevada has indeed entered on
her career under some disadvantages. She
has appeared later in the field, her popu-
lation is comparatively sparse, and her
mineral have been only partially
developed, yet such 10. the abundance Of
her metallic wealth that even now the
products of the mines of the Virginia City
district alone. amounts to more than $685.
900, 900 per annum. a return much larger,
in proportion to the number Of its miners,
than the Golden State herself can show.
Nevada is in fact still richer in silver than
California was in gold. and her staple
metal, be it remembered, Is vastly more
enduring in its nature. For gold mines
have frequently failed, even in California,
whereas silver mines almost invariably
become more productive the deeper they
are worked. Silver mines are, in truth,
i~nexhaustible. The anonymous author Of
a very interesting pamphlet On the Nevada
mines, says:

PAHRANAoAr PRAIsRD.-A correspond
emit of the Boston naveier, who has been
travelling through Southern Utah and
Nevada, writes:
Five days had passed since we left our
winter home Of Pahranagat Lake mining
district, with its splendid resources Of
both mineral and agricultural wealth, like
a gem in its setting, surrounded by noun
,ains and valleys, though sterile and for
bidding, yet serving to make it the more
beautiful when contrasted with its sur
roundings. 1t is a safe calculation that its
history will be like the more northern
silver districts Of Nevada, and like them a
town will spring up in q day.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRI-
CULTURE-IETERESTIN STATISTICS.

From the report of Hon. Isaac Newton,
Commissioner Of the Bureau Of Agriculture
for January, we learn that the decrease in
importations Of foreign wool for 1865 was
2,41,674 pounds, which the Commissioner
notes as a gratifying fact, because il shows the
progress that Is made In supplying the domes-
TIC wants of the country In a commodity so es-
sentlal TO Its wants and comfort. There was
an increased importation of wooden goods
during the year 1865, amounting to 4,632, go
We import nearly million dollars worth of
cigars, mostly of the best Havana Cigar man
ufacturers say that the import is occasioEed by
the internal tax being greater than the duty on
the foreign article, and the Commissioner thinks
such an ineq uality ought not to be permitted
1t Isl noticed that several conventions, repre-
manufacture, have been held, and their dele
gates cent TO this city to press upon the atten-
ton OF Congress the adjustment of the claims
or different interests affected by the internal
taxes and the tariff duties.
The Commissioner says:-'Some agricultural
and Horticultural associations have passed res
elutions unfayorable to my continuation in
once. w hllst L much desire the approba-
taon OF all persons, especially those con-
neeted with agriculture, / cannot hope to es-
cape the enmity of those who have selfish
purposes TO accomplish. In the execu-
uon OF the duties and trusts confided to
me as Commissioner of Agriculture, am often
compelled by sense of duty to deny to indi-
viduals the opportunity of taking thAfunds of
the department without rendering a proper
service therefor. i have to reject schemes
which have personal gain much more in view
than the advancement of agriculture. This
acuon on my part creates hostility, which is
manifested, not by specific charges of Off cial
Wrong-doing on my part, and which 1 could
answer, but In secret correspondence and pri-
yate conversations, by which well-meaning
but unrefiecting persons are misled and induced
to consent to the adoption of the resolutions
referred to-
