And Phsroah ssid: "Let more work be
laid upon the men, that they may labor
therein" Our modern Pharoahs, who re-
quire the planters Of cotton to pay them
tribute, say thirty-6ve per cent. is not
enough, lei more duty be laid upon the men i,
that they may pay it from their labor and
from the sweat Of their brow, while the lords
of the land, who monopoliza and become fa,
and drive in carriages and are clothed in
fue linen, and fare sumptuously every day,
may have wherewith 10 increase their
stores, and fill their barns, and to swell out
their banking accounts more and more, until
they become great in the land, and
take their ranks among the milliouaires.
Accordingly,we read in the New York Times:
"On cotton.ties, now dutiable as manufactures
Of iron at thirty per cent, both the com.
mission and the committee propose duty
of 40 cents pound, equivalent to 81. ga
per cent, an advance of 1873 per cent. on the
present duty, which is simply outrageous.
Some 100000 pounds annually are i'm.

a very active business; Saltillo is increasing
with rapid strides. Toluca has the tele-
phone, which extends TO neighboring towns,
and the telegraph is stretching out to the
adjoining parts of South America. In Tux
pan there have been valuable discoveries Of
coal. The country has large brick manu-
factory which turns Out 100000 bricks day,
has 81 100000 capital stock. and is worked
By machinery from the United States. At
Veta Negra and Pubelson, in Eacatecas,
American capitalists are opening mines; they
have diamond drills and the necessary ma
chinery on the spot. The French are vigorous
ia banking and mercantile enterprises in va
rious quarters. All this offers wonderful con-
things in Mexico, stirred up with occasional
revelations, forty years sgo.. It is evident
that with all this movement, and the rapid
and extensive building Of railroads all over
the country, that vast field for trade is
opening on our southern border. OF that
wealth aud the trade it will confer France

Recent accounts from Mexico give very
cheering view of the progress making in
that republic, which will develop Its re-
sources and offer to this country a means of
extending our own trade. Preparations are
making to work the vast deposits OF iron
near the city of Durango. A number OF cot
ton merchants have adopted a measure for
establishing line of steamers for general
trade to run to New Orleans; especially ii is
to be used for carrying the cotton they con-
sumo from that city TO Vers Cruz. In To-
buca, Paso del Norte and GuadaIajara
street-cars will soon be running generally, as

A scene OF De,ol.lion ana Death.

SAN Francisco, January 22.-An Oak
land dispatch says: The scene at the Giant
Powder Works this morning is one of devas-
tation and death. In a semi-circular exca-
walton where the packinghouses are located
the ground is covered with debris and timber.
Huge rocks thrown BY the violence of the
series of explosions are seen on all sides
Living on the ground are the mangled bodies
of twenty-on Cinnamon. One Cninaman
died last nigh: in the temporary hospital.
So far az known at noon one white man and
twenty-five Cinnamon were killed. The
white man killed is Ferdinand Kompf, sssis.-
AMI superintendent. He could have saved
himself, but remained to try TO save the
works. When the first explosion occurred
he rsn 10 the ni.ro-glycerine house to turn
on the water to extinguish the fire. He was
killed by the explosion of the nitro
glycerine house. 1t is thought that
eiebt or teu bodies are in the
ruins. Osc, II Forguffsky, the only white
"a an wounded, will probably recover. Thir-
teen wounded Cbinsmen are lying in tn
quarters OF the Chinese. The greater num-
her of these will recover. The cause of the
explosion still remains a mystery. Whether

The place OF collision was in the ocean
highway much frequented by all kinds OF
vessels The chief officer of the Cimbria is
F. HARLOW. He said he was the same man
who had been over ten years on the line.
He was glad to learn that the second, thiru
and fourth officers had been saved. A sailor
Of the Rugia said the Cimbria had been one
OF the stauuchest vessels in the line. She
had four quartermasters-Piatt,W ulefker,
Lankeizsr and Henry Bernstein-of whom
all but Barstein are reported saved. He
WAS native of Prussia, and has family.
The Cimbrie had eight boats, four large ones
and four smaller ones. These could not pos
sibly accommodate The AT people aboard,
even il they hal 4 ad ample time to embark.
The large boats lad been known, on pinch,
to hold forty men, and the smaller boats per-
baps twenty or thirty men, so that at the
most only 280 persons could have got into
the boats. There was no time to rig
RATS or other contrivances of the kind.
There was not time TO get half the boals
afioat. The boats always contained sup
ply of fresh wafer and barrels OF bread are
kept ready in case of emergency. The crew
are skilled for action in lime OF accident,
and go 10 their fixed places when necessity
occurs. Each boat has a mast and set sail,
30 that its crew would not be entirely de-
pendent on oars. The boats are strongly
made, and could stand great deal of rough
weather. Passengers missing, 1868; psssen-
gers known to be safe, thirty-two; crew miss
ing, seventy-one; crew known to be safe,
twen,y-one; missing all told, 434; safe, as
far as known, Atty three. This is as far as
the lists go, and make the whole number on
board 4S7, instead of AT. The slight dis
crepancy with the figures given in the press
dispatches leads 10 the hope tn at more names
of the saved may yet be received.
