The features of the Western Continent, aj^
like all her proportions, vast. ' God cast the
new world in no puny mould. Her moun-
tains are the bones of a giant; her rivers are
veins, large and full, worthy to bear the cur-
rents of life throughout her vigorous frame
—and the uncounted millions of precious
metals hidden in the dark rhambers of' the
earth, are scattered broadcast over her long
ranges of mountains, form an exchequer ol
corresponding greatness."
For many yeurs it has been well under-
stood th t- the hills and valleys of Sonora.
are rich in copper, gold and siiver; and it i
also well known that these valuable mineral
resources are "still undeveloped—still await
the magic wand cf Aujerieun enterprise, to
spread their glittertngftrea<ures buiere the
world." The question may e asked: Vf'
have not these mines of wealth been opened,
and their srolden treasures unlocked ? Var-
ious satisfactory reasons can be given why
this is not the case. In the first place, the
region of country known as Arrizonia, or
the Gadsden Purchase, has, until recent y.
belonged to Mexico, being the Northern part
of Sonora. The Apache Indians, the terror
of the Mexicans, held undisputed sway over
their Northern possessions, ellectually pre-
venting afty improvements. Since it has
fallen into the hands,of the United States,
the more accessible rfeposites of Califo: nia
and Australia have been open to the world,
and the world of enterprise naturally flows
to those great reservoirs of wealth, trade and
corn me; ce.
But the inarch of recent events, the great
victories of steam, and the fev. rish thirst for
wealth which throbs through the veins and
arteries of Christendom, will not long leave
them unused or unappropriated. Arrizonia
will soon he better known and appreciated.
The ■ ye of the North already opens and
peers in this direction, because great specu-
lations. railroads, manufactures, (he elements
of wealth in the States, will not be long in
finding. their nay there. A company has
been formed 111 Cincinnati, with a capital of
S10U.01AI. and the party going out under the
auspices of this company have already passed
through Western TexaS on their way to Ar-
rizonia Another is now lorminj; under the
command of one of our own citizens. Mai.
W. P. Lane.
Major Lan is an experienced officer, hav-
ing done eiK'ctive service in the war of the
Revolutioh; was active and cnergetic as a
lexas Ranger, and distinguished himself as
a gallant officer in the war "with Mexico.—
Major Lane's company will be ready to leave
Mandril about the middle of September
next. A company from San Fraucisco have
taken possession of one of the copper mines!
and are working it with great success. 4The
country will soon.be invaded by a hardy, in-
dustnous and energetic'bant1 oi^pioneers.

Afterwards, on the contrary, the parts are
reversed, and \ o i must pay tribute instead
of receiving it.
Many authorities m!j ht be brought for-
vfcaril to prove the richness of these mines.
But this is unnecessary. We will only cail
the readers attention to some of the most re
cent and most reliable. Ue Bow's Review
for July, has a most interesting article upor^
gold and silver, mines, in which it says :
"Late intelligence from the Pacific terri
tores bring news ^f the discovery of the sil-
of Arrizonia. in the Mcsilla
Tat ley. D a late letter, we are informed
that al ng the thirty-second parallel of lati-
tude. for miles together, the richest on*—
richer and; more abundant by far than those
pf PotQM—lie heaped up and piled hills upi.n
bills. aAif nature had there poured out her
treasure in one overwhelming mass.. I have
seenjrays the >an.e writer, he best mines in
Me^co but nothing that can compare to the
Siiyer Mountains."'
(Sol. A. U. Gray, jn his report to the Texas
W.nji. R. o.. in speaking of the line of the
road, says:
' -'jt passes through the most desirable re-
gion. with the hills and mountain? for forty
uiiles, containing inexhaustible quantities of
timber. We not ced tall cedar, and oaks of

than the others, being a white oafc from 2u

with superior white ash and walnut, were
found, and the most gigantic, cotton woods,
particular^ on the Sonoita.
••'fhe atmosphere is pure and healthy, and
the climate agreeable, winter and summer.
The mountains in the neighborhood are tilled
ith minerals, and the precious metals are
to abound. The famous Planchas de
nd Arrizonia silver mines, which the
2utts.set de Bonlbon attempted to
ion of. are in this section of coun
miles below the present limits,
of the ranches and deserted
thich we visited, were found

One hundred and sixteen persons are be-

In our paper of- last week, we noticed the

resolutions to the Governor

these resolutions shall take elfect from tin
passages: "r f Committee Room,
Austin, August 12th. 1C5G.
To the Honorable II. R. "Runnels,
President of the Seriate :
The Committee on State affairs to whom
was referred a " Joint Resolution, requesting
the Governor to convene the Legislature, in
the event of tho election of the candidate of
the Anti-Shivery Party, President," have un-
animously instructed ine to report the same
back to'the Senate, with an amendment, and
recommend its passage. . !
In acting upon the momentous question,
the committee have not concealed from them-
selves nor would they conceal frotn others,
that a dissolution ot the American Union
may, in a ceMaia even t, be protended. It
were fruitless to discuss who is -chargeable
with the prcsent condition of politics in' the
United Slates, r who will be responsible
for the deplorable bat inevitablewBBnseqaence
of iu contiusnce. The. universal public
voice charges it tip n the fatties of the North,
while they gltfry in avowing it. The* elec-
tion of the Candidates of the Black Republi-
can party, upon the issues tendered preludes
the destruction of our Constitution, and the
degredation of the South. In that event, our
eflcction for the American Union will be an
effectiou of the past.
Our lathers of the Revolution, in announc-
ing their acquiescence in the necessity which
denounces a dissolution of the political bonds
of union with Great Britain, thought it best
to act«r/ifer a full expression of Die public
feeling of the country ; and "as lovers of na-
tional frecdoiit, and not as anarchis's, while
disposing of one government, made disposition
j<rr its successor. We also, if we woul I act
prudently, should act after cousultatiQn with
all of our Southern brethren ; and we should
be prepared to carry out the result of that
consultation, whatever it m iy be. Prudence
also warns us to act before aH the matei
power of tho present Federal-jgovi
graVp&d by our enemies.

ince then, wc have received a Jotter fronr
him. under date of August 8th, aiinotincing"
the intelligence of a glorious democratic vic-
tory in his county, and that 'in November
next, there will not be left of the American
parly, a corporal's guard." He claims for
himself, the credit of "defeatinga party, whose
only aim and -object, has ever been, and is
yet, to.dictate to, and rule the people of this
(Goliad) county, with a rod of iran." He
informs us. that the election of Bush, the de-
mocratic candidate, was '-the complete over
throw; and annihilation of one of the. most
corrupt, prescriptive, dictatorial ynd bigoted
parties that has ever existed sinde the form-
ation of our government." lie tells us. that
"H«ch a party, in his humble judgment, is
wholly unworthy the support and confidence
of a fiee-and enlightened people;" and that
•'vnth such a he cannot and will not
fraternize longer," that '"in future, he will
act with that good old time honored demo-
cratic party." "In its lap" says he, ilI was
nourished and reared, and under its banner
have I ever toiight. (save in the election that
came off this August, one year ago) and 1
pray God. I may continue so to fight."
Doodle Bugs to your holes! when Mr.
Crane has denounced and left you.
The letter j(F"pne of the coolest things
that we have' witnessed for a long time—it
is addressed to us whom he has been per-
sonally denouncing and abusing, for the last
twelve months, or more, and commenced
with the endearing appellation of "My dear
friends." Ye Gods! preserve us from such
a friendship.
Lest we should be considered as being
jrqverned by personal feelings, wc submitted
the letter of this rara avis to a number of
our political friends. When all his claims
to admission into the democratic ranks were
luly considered,
They declared that the K. N.'s of Goliad
county had elevated themselves, by discard-
ing such an unimal. We were directed to
say, that because the K. N.'s had been un-
just an 1 ungrateful, we had no charity to
bestow upon their cast ofl tools, and that
we have no office to give him, to enable him
to pay those debts contracted in their be
half—that we have no use for the traitor
who quit their ranks because he could not
let an office, and who, "while in their ranks,
violated his oath, and defeated the will of the
majority5 of his party, which he unblush-
ingly claims as a merit.
In a word, we were directed to tell him
an anecdote. Some years since, a fellow
having male too free use of his neighbors
hogs, without their consent, got so low that
he felt it necessary to do something to bol-
ster him for,a while. He con -luded to at-
tach himself to some ^respectable Ireligious
denomination.' So he went to a Hard-fchell
Baptist monthly meeting, and made applica-
tion to join. His dreams and visions were
not sufficientAand he was rejected. He told
tbem it made "no sort of difference, and that
,tjere was a Methodist camp-meeting on
and. a few tniles off, and he knew they
would take him. To the camp-meeting he
went—but failed. When he came home, he
was aeked, "what luck." "Well." says he.
'■I was a leetle too late, they had just quit
taking in. when I got there."
So Mr. Crane, we are directed to say to
you, that while the doors of the democratic
party are opened wide to receive all who
"with hearty repentance, and true faith
come" thither for admittance, it is closed
against all political renegades, who have lost
cast in their own party, and desire connec-
tion with us to bolster their blasted char
acter. No sir, ■ on are a leetle too late, we
have just quit taking in your fcirt.—S.'oie

Ruling America.—Under this heading
the Washington Eveniug Star, of the 11th.,
instant, makes the following pointed, fensi-
ble remarks, which wc commend to the pe-
rusal of our readers as particularly worth}-
of reflection.
It is worthy of note that the misguided
young men, one and all, implicated in ijie
murder of Casper Korhman, alias C. vf.
Bull, a few nights since, on an outskirt of
Washington, for which two of them are to
undergo capital trials, were conspicuous in
the riot that occurred at the Fourth Ward
polls, at our late municipal election. They
are all intense "Americans," we hear. We
mention this fact because it embraces addi-
tional proof of the evil effects upon society of
the Know Nothing organization. One gang,
it will be recollected, are soon to be tried ftr
arson and a series of bursaries. Another
jang will very probably very shortly be ar-
raigned for participation in the disgraceful
riot in which the Mayor was not long since
mobbed. Essex, the fugitive from justice,
murdered an uuoffending man on the day af-
ter the election, .for the erime of huzzaing
for the anti.Know Nothing candidate; and
already we have another cold-blooded and
revolting murder conrmtUcd bjj_stiil another
misguided and rowdy gang.
Such things were comparatively unknown
in this community before the introduction of
secret political lodges, the members of which
bind themselves to obligations above the
laws, and in flat contradiction to the laws,
and on - given signal, to stand by each other
under any circumstances whatever. We
have so often discussed in detail, the dange
rous and reprehensible features of these asso
ciations, that we will not now--dcvote apace
to them. Wo. howeveivfceTit to be our du-
ty. earnestly to poipJ'tiut theap facts to our
fellow-citizens who are theinbers of the or-
ganization. an£- re also, sincerely solicitous
for tbw TretTlieitig of society. It is surely
time for them to reflect upon them, and to
comprehend to what condition they are bring-
ing the public peace. 4c., by- the aid of their
countenance. Were it not fbf the fact that
the offenders in all these cases are of their po-
litical fraternity, and also that such occur
renees were almost unknown here until the
Washington lodges were organized, there
might be a question as to where the respon-
sibility lies. That is too palpable, however,
to admit of a doubt.—ClarksinBt SlandatH,

down as certain that Terry will hot ohly be
compelled to quit the bench, but will be ex-
pelled from the State. ^
Judge Terry's trial had been progressing
f3r about twenty days. ■ The V igilance'Coal-
mittce is said to be as popular as ever. Abbot
thirty persons had been arrested within two
weeks, and some of them of considerable im-
portance. On the 13th ult., a mass meeting

ty officials to resign. On the 15th the^Offi-
cials refuged, and it is supposed, the Com-
mittee will expel then^. ^ ^

report that Ex-President Rivas has taken up
arms against Walker, and was in possession
of Leon with COO men. No mail had been
received at San Juan from Costa Rica for
six weeks, an* there was "no other news
froai die interior." This is all we,have from
San Juan. , . . .
The Aspinwall 'Courier.' of the 4th inst.,
has the followihg:
There is a rumor afloat here to the enect
that two thousand Costa Ricans and their
allies were in possession of San Juan del Sur,
at last accounts via Greytown. -
What foundation there may be for this ru-
mor, and why we have no intelligence direct
from Granada, we have no means of ascer-
taining. „ . . . ,,
The Aspinwall 'Conner,* in noticing the
arrival of the Daniel Webster at that port
and giving a list of British war steamships
lying at San Juan, remarks: ''Eight others
are said to be expected soon. The object of
their visit is unknown."

Yale College and Sharp's RirLES.—J
correspondent of the New lork Herald,
writing from New Haven, intonates very
plainly that tho miserable fanatical utter-
ances of old Professor Silliman, at the notor-
ious Kansas Aid Meeting last spring, have
done Yale College little benefit. He 6ays:
The part which Professor Silliman took m
the notorious Kansas meeting, held in New
Haven last spring—where Brother Beecher
perpetrated that awful -'KiH'em" pun. which
has nicknamed him '"Kill'cm Beecher has
been misinterpreted to the injury of the col-
lege. Professor Silliman, at that time, was
not officially attached to the college, and his
attendance at that meeting was an individual
matter. He did not represent the oollege
there in anv capacity ; and though his opin-
ions of Kansas afTairs, when given to the
public, are entitled to considtr^tioa^apd res-
pect, they should not be tftfcen as Hie pclit'-
cal manifesto of Yale College. That tne
ing was an unfortunate affair for Yaltj
