rae New Msnes OF sEOjada.
New YORK, Oct. 9.-Tho Times s
Washington special, in speaking of
the rush to the M0jada mines, says:
Acting Secretary of State Hunter
said no official communication had
yet been received on the subject,
but that in due time Foster would
probably be heard from regarding
it. Hunter said also that il people
of this country should see fit to
emigrate to Mexico, whether in
search of wealth near the
Mojada mines, or for any other
peaceful purpose, there is nothing
in existing laws to prevent them.
The law prohibits invasion by arm
ed bodies of men of country at
peace with the United States, but
it in no way prohibits citizens of
this country from emigrating to
another country, even though they
may be armed for self defense, if
their mission is lawful. Of course,
he said, such emigrants would be
amenable to the laws of Mexico,
and would be punished for any in
Engagements upon them.
Engisnd's Land Troubles.
NEW York, Oct. S.-The Times
says: The land trouble in England
has taken the bulk of the people by
surprise. 1t may be safely asserted
that not one proprietor in one hun
dred saw in the announcement in
the London Times of May, 1859
that a train had run through from
New York to San Francisco, any
sort of connection between that fact
and the terribly diminished rental
in 1870.
