TUB EDITOR 0? THE NEW YORK TIHKS.
The editor of tho New York Timet Beta out upon
bis leading articlo of Thursday lust, thus :?
The general sentiment of the Southern preiw, ho far as
our notice ban extended, with the exception of the Rich
mond Kxamincr, which <mdm to bo edited by a lunatic,
and one or two other paper.;, in very earnest in its con
demnation of the acquittal of Ward.
We might urge against his main charge, that we
have condemned the Ward acquittal more emphati
cally than aiiv Southern journal out of Keutucky ;
but we should no more think of quarrelling with
the Times tor a flat falsicatiou of fact, than with a
dog for his vomit, or a sow for her slime. And if its
editor's allegation of lunacy were his own original
conception, and not borrowed at second hind, we
Sht escape that, also, under the legal maxim,
utn in i< no, fat sum tn omnibus?a liar- in the pu
"ticular is a liar in general.
It is the habit of stupid prints to denounce pi
quant, free, oot-opeahi'ig journals, as afflicted with
lunacy; but it has never yet entered the head of
any one to accuse the Times of lunacy. Am nig
the double sheet duilies of New York city, the Times
1b most remarkable for editorial dalneus. Whatever
(he ground over which the editor travels, or tho
Sieea at which he goes, whether a dull jog-trot, or a
iff", clumsy gallop, the unconcenlahle ears of the
great Maltcte usa are distinctly visible. Whatever
the covering with which he attempts to conceal his
proportions, he cannot get Lis bray mistaken for u
roar.
Whatever of masculine thought, of straightfor
ward, manly independence, or of practical wisdom,
appears in his editorial columns, is, without excep
tion, stolen from the Hvhaud. Whatever lie 1ns
that is literary, according to the Yankee clock
standard of taste and elegance, is copied from the
wet-blanket platitudes of the Tribune. Whenever
he a8]iiies to rcul learning and knowledge, by no
means an uncommon thing, he fits him.-siIf out with
burglarious implements, breaks into a'British Quar
terly, and steals whole pages of its contents, which
he serves up with just tue degree of skill that be
longs to the cook who prepares bokigua sausage for
lunch. From paucity of advertisements, his paper
has room for heavy instalments of news, but as to
editorial brilliancy, it is Incus ?torn luctnao.
He was long a pupil, protege and parasite of the
Chevalier Webb; and is, of course, a thorough-bred
flunkey. With great natural aptitude for that call
ing, he was happy in a patron to school him per
fectly in its arts and mysteries. He is perfect in
those instincts which prompt a dog to follow and a
monkey to imitate, however much he lacks the
fidelity of the one or the sprightliness of the other.
He obeyed so long the bit and reiu of the Chevalier
that be finally mistook himself for the charger that
carried the knight, instead of the donkey that stag
gered under the pack of cast-off clothes and dirty
linen.
While under Webb's directiou ho got along ob
scurely enough; but, when Webb was once abroad,
he broke out in the donkey's unmistakeaMc bray of
affection for Cuflbc. When Webb got back he was
kicked away from the Courier ami Eryuirer for
blatant abolitionism, to be afterwards thrown out
of a national whig convention for the negro stench
he exnded.
When he set np the Times he found it his interest
to affect decency aud respectability for e. while?but
the effort cost him a great deal of travail, and he
had soon to return to his cups. He * as hugely in
favor of international copyright, until he took in
one of the-Harpies Brothers as a partner, when he
forthwith set to eating up his old - words. Since
that event his trade, like the Harpies, has been to
batten on others' intellects?the trade of brain
sucking.
He brcke with the Chevalier, but could not escape
his destiny. The phosphorescent glimmer which lie
emitted through the Courier and Enquirer he had
the conceit to suppose he could blsrr into a genuine
fire through the means of the Times. Though his
mistake is patent to every one -c'se, his stupidity
and self-conceit delude him into the belief that
everybody takes his beggarly hasl et of plagiarised
cat meat for genuine food.
He prints Lis paper on a double sheet, after the
manner of the Hint alii, sets up lrir flaccid editorials
inthe same type, and foolishly fancies therefrom
that his paper has the same merit and his produc
tions the same sense and ability. Of late lie has
taken to wallowing in the filthy abolition sewers
and cesspools replenished from the feculent columns
of the Tribune, and fane ion thai he is a water-god,
a Kuhleboru, with power to raise the tides and con
trol the floods; but, in fact, he is become only.a
toad| of Greeley, as he formerly was a cuttle-fish ?f
The forte of the editor of tbo Times is in plagi
arism, and he must be confessed to have accomplish
ed all that scissors can do. As his trade requires
method, he has never been accused of madness.
Lunacy is net an uufrequeut pha to indictments fcr
murder, but was never know n in petit larceny. The
Sractirers of this small vice never trust to the moon,
lough, like the moon, they often shine with a bor
towc i light. Takeaway this editor's scissors acd
postepot, and \ou get tliat. which naught enriches
you but makes hiin poor indeed.
Like Turvytop, he dresses after the fashion of
the great, spends his life in practising deportment,
and deludes himself with the hope that somebody
may mista ke him. if not for the l'rince Regent, at
least for a gentleman.
He aspires to tho hatred of the South. He. has
not yet been able to win hor contempt.

THE RMTUR OF TL'K TltlBPNE.
The editor of the Trtbvmt. is a socialist. A few
?ears since he wan as busy in denouncing the struc
ture of free society at the Ko-'.h as he is now in in
termeddling with slavery at due South. One day bo
proposes to set the blacks free at the South, and tin
next day he would abridge or destroy the liberties
of the whites at the North. He scorns and scoute
the lessons of history, dcridee every form of govern
mcnt that the w it of man hue yet devised, and arre
gnutly proposes a Utopia hatched in the brains of
crazy Frcnchinon and udopte 1 on trust, by ignorant
Yankees. And what is this Utopia? Its leading
and distinctive object, in vti ich all socialists and
communists concur, is to get. rid of free competition
among the laboring class. In most eloquent and
thrilling language, the .socialists of France, England,
and America, portray aud denounce the evils which
free com) otiii- n indicts on the masses. As an in
stance, we quote the following from AIl >n Lockc<
wiittenhyau English clergyman. It is the speech
of a chartist:?
It is a sin to add our weight tc. the -rowd cf artisans
who are now choking and a'rang It-.' each other to death,

protest to that effect.
Socialise", communists, chaitia*", and yoting Eng
? lu-hmun, all '"ully and entirely couour that in Irne so
ciety by me,<bh of competition between capital and
labor on the >ne hand, and the competition between
the poor with each other to get employment, "tho
rich devour Ibe poor, and the poor eat tip each
other." They agree wholly as to the disease of free
wociety, and ot !y differ as to the remedy. Nay, they
agree further f ::i free competition iru'-t be gotten

get their dividend. If "the concern fui!-, they h o
paid to the last, art? "old. and 'iccome partners in
another concern, They have estates tuiiin ail the
lands of the South, indefeasible by fine and reco
very. We fear, if we draw the parallel any further
bctwe< n social!-m and slavery, that Greclev will be
t o struck with the rese mblance of his beau uleal, that
he will desert the Tribune, and try to become mas
ter on a Virginia farm. His paper is so furiously
edited that we should regret its loss, and he
might rot find slavery so agreeable in practice as
beautiful in theory. In such case he might become
un rgly customer, and stir up insurrection.
V, e will now sum up the evidence against fireelcy
under the two counts in our indictment : The
first, that he wishes to abridge?the second, that
he wishes to destroy tl?e liberties of the workiug
man at the North.
Free competition, we think we have shown, is the
veiy essence of liberty, and he endeavors to rem >ye
free competition. This conduct would commit hiin
under cither couut. Again, he would establish as
sociation of labor and of capital, protection and
support to all the members of society, and a quali
fied community of property. Now, there and the
absence of iree competition, are the distinctive
features of neyjo slavery at the South. They never
have Icen found in tree loeiety; and, therefore, we
adjudge Greelev guilty of attempting to establish
slavery among the whites at the Nortn, j
_ . just such as
now dxists with the negroes at the South.
lie need not apply for a recommendation to mcr
cv. Never was a society so flourishing and gener
ally so bnpj y or, that in which he lives might be but
for such loose characters as Greeley. The influential
position he himself has attained proves that ge
nius ai d energy arc alone needed to win riches and
distinction of thousands around him?shows that
mere inclm-try and economy will attain wealth an d
influence.
'ibe free States of this Union are the asylum for
the poor and oppressed throughout the world, and
tliev are advancing more rapidly ip population
and mnteiial riches, than ever people did before.
Greeley Las been guilty of a libel on our institu
tions, in proclaiming their failure. He is guiltv of
trcaion, in endeavoring to bring about a social re
volution, more thorough, more all-pervading, and
more destructive of all existing interests and in
stitutions, than ever Cutaline dreamed of. Had
he lived in Europe, his plea for mercy might
have availed him. He eould have appealed to
the famines nnd revolutions that have, in horrid
alternation, devastated ail Western or free Europe,
for the last seventy years. He conld have in
stanred the exemption of slaveholding Turkey and
Bnssia from those evils. He could have cited
the authority of every good, learned and wise man
in Western Eurojie, to prove that liberty, or free
competition, was the sole author of the starving
condition of the working class. He might have
said, that all the philosophers of Fi ance and Ger
many, and almost all the clergy of England, im
pressed with the necessity of the reorganization
of society, had become socialists. He might
have pointed to the millions flying to America and
Australia, from free Western Europe, whilst the
slaves of Turkey and Russia remain contented
at home. He might have called attention to the
fact, that the homeless, homeless masses of free
Europe, instead of defending their country wel
comed Bonaparte as a deliverer, whilst the serfs of
Russia, who nad homes and houses to live in, and
masters to protect them, drove him, with patriotic
ardor, from their land. He might have pointed to
| Russia, now great, powerful, and improving, with
Western Europe Cowering and famishing before her.
| He would triumphantly have demonstrated the total
! failure 01 the experiment of free society in Europe.
Snt they have a crowded population, and lands
I are scarce. Here lands are abundant and popula
! tion sparse. Society is not yet in a state of senility
| and decrepitude. It is advancing on the wheels of
! free competition with railroad speed. A few middle
i aged women and old and infirm men are crashed by
the wheels, but society suffers no loss. The general
! prosperity is unexampled. It is true that the North
; is full of men and women busily employed in
trying to uproot and reconstruct society; but
! we attribute their conduct to imperfect moral
i and intellectual education, and to a wicked love
' of notoriety, rather than to any social evils that
surround them. It would be the wise and
i piudent course to so frame society now, as to
prevent the necessity of securing slavery here
after. We believe that may be done. Wc scorn
fully repudiate the suggestion that it will ever lie
necessary to make slaves of white men in America.
Greeley proposes measures that make slaves of them
I at once, to anticipate the necessity of making slaves
I of them hereafter.

Elizabltrtown, N. J., May 23,1864.
Charge of Wife Murder in New Jersey?Coroner's
Inquest and Acquittal of the Hut hand.
Madame rumor caused quite an excitement in tliin
place yesterday.
Mrs. Elizabeth McCabe, an Irish woman, died sud
denly, and it was said that she had been brutally
beaten by her husband, which was the cause of her
death. Coroner J. Q. Stearns summoned a jury to
view the body. They met at the_ court house at 7
o'clock last evening, when the Coroner proceeded to
examine the witnesses.
I'rom the evidence, it appears that Barney Mc
Cabe, who is the husband of the deceased, is a man
of very intemperate habits, and when under the in
fluence of liquor, of a very quarrelsome disposition,
lie was drunk on Sunday afternoon, and got into a
quarrel with another man. Ills wife seeiug this, at
tempted to interfere, and in doing so she hurt her
self. Hhe was far advanced in pregnancy, and the
ght on premature labor,
treatnunt she received brought on premat
when she was seized with convulsions, which Listed
until she died. One of the witnesses testified to
hearing loud noises and frequent quarrelling be
tween tLe deceased and her husband.
Another witness was examined, whose name was
Martin Coine. He had knwwn the deceased for
eight years. He believed her husband always treat
ed her well. On Sunday he saw her push him into
the house. Believed he was in liquor ; drank him
self sometimes; usually drank cider spirits; she
tcld him that she hurt herself.
During his examination, he was frequently ques
tioned by one of the jury for the purpose of ascer
taining how much liquor was drank in the house on
Sunday, but he told his story in such a disjointed
miinner that it was impossible to ascertain one intel
ligible sentence.
There was no direct evidence given that would
warrant any one in believing that actual violence
had taken place. The deceased declared that she
had not been struck. She continued in convulsions
from 9 o'clock on Sunday until yesterday, when she
died. A post mortem examination was made by
Dis. Crane, Hedges, and Mudge. They stated that
they had found no external marks of violence; had
examined the brain and found nothing abnormal,
except a serons effusion in the cavities of the lateral
ventricles, which was, without doubt, the result of
puerperal convulsions.
The jury retired at a late hour, under a charge
from the Cotoner, and returned aliont midnight,
with a vei diet that deceased came to her death from
natural causes. A.
Watering Pl?fw.
Saratoga Springs The Sentinel of the 22d
inst., says:?Notwithstanding the unpropitious sea
son, strangers begin to look in upon us, and we ex
pect ere long to see our hotels and boarding estab
lishments thronged with company. The presence o^.
strangers thus early has imported much life aud ani
mation to the town. Congress, Empire, and Pavil
lion Springs, contribute their usual quantum of
health-restoring waters, and every provision within
the power of our citizens has been made to render a
visit to the springs pleasant and agreeable. After
the long, cola winter which has passed, it will be
gratifying to spend a short season in a place so
adapted to pleasure as our own village, and particu
larly so when the acquisition of health can be joined
with amusement. An occasional interruption in
business, though it cause some little confusion and
embarrassment, will never be regretted, for, here
for a while all the remembrances of care, disappoint
ment and sorrow con be drowned iu the excitement
of scenes whose gaiety and beauty are nowhere sur
passed. The largest class hotels and boarding
houses will be open for the reception of company,
June fust.
New Watering Place?Wiliowighby Lash,
Westmore, Vt.?This is a place of summer resort
with whi< h the travelling public are not familiar,
but which fioHi nil accounts we have hail of it, we
are inclined to think will soon commend Itself to
general favor. Willoughby Lake is about twenty
miies above .St. Johnsbury, Yt., from which it is ac
cessible by stage, and is within seventeen miles of
Island Pond, on the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Rail
road, whence there is likewise a stage. It may,
therefore, be pleasantly and conveniently reached
by way of Portland, or by the Connecticut and
Passumpsic Rivers Railroad. The lake is a roman
tic aid charming spot. It is situate between two
mountains, which rise abruptly to the height of
2,090 feot on one side, and MOO on the other. Thr
lake abounds with tine trout, and it vies with othur
rn< lianthig lakes and places about-the White Moun
tains, in possessing an echo which answers with at
least mm a dozen distinct reverberations. The
place also affords ull tire poetry with little of the
fatigue of a mountain ascent?having a bridle path
to the summit of Mt. Anuance, the highest of the
two mountains upon hs herders. The water of the
lake is deep, clear and sparkling, and the scenery is
described us being wonderful aud delightful ri the
extreme. A scientific visiter says of it:?"There
is nothing in the far-famed scenery of the White
Mountain Notch, (the Old Man or the .Mountain
perbqps excepted,) nor the passage of the Potomac
at Harper's Ferry, nor the deep channel of the Ni
agara, or the clui.sm <at Trenton Falls, which pro
duced in my own mind more vivid impressions
than did the scenery of this neglected spot." But
it is no longer to he neglected.
Will Rkokkn.?-The will of Mrs. Jane Wilson,
?widow of liars Wilson, of Steubcnville, was set
aside by tlie roidict of a jury of'Jcfl'erwm county,
Ohio, on Thursday last, fiv this will the residue of
her ?estate,after a few small legacies to her relatives,
was bequeathed to the Foreign and Home Mission
ary Societies of the Presbyterian church; th ?
amount of the bequest being estimated nt two hun

CH ADGE OF REVOLT ON HOARD THE SHIP CAL
HOUN?THE UNITED STATES VS. JOHN DOHERTY
AND SEVEN OTHERS.
Mr. B. F. Funning opened thn cane for the proaecu
tion, and then called Daniel H. Truvmau, who de|>o-ed
that he has bten a shipmaster over twenty years; h id
principally Bailed from New York; had command of the
shin Calhoun for two voyages; she was a first class vee
sel between this and Liverpool; the prisoners joined the
Calhoun in Liverpool in February last, as part of the
crew for the trip to New York; they oirae the trip; we
sailed from Liverpool on the 22d of Fobruary last, the
Calhoun was an American ship; our crew were tlfty
tliree, all told; there were thirty-eight or forty able
bodied ordinary seamen; our cargo oonslste 1 of lion, dry
goods. Ac.; we bad S03 passengers; the Calhoun belongs
to Spofford, Tileston k Co.; alter leaving liverpool the
steward came to uie and asked me what the creiv were to
get; witness detailed the provisions, which consisted of
pork, heel, molasses, bread, rice, tee.; after a lew days I
heard that the provisions were Using used up very fust,
and 1 gave directions to have two pounds of meat
weighed out dslly to each man; on the lltii, 13th and
14th March we experienced very heavy weather; the ship
pitched about, and thn stores wore knocked about; some
of the colli e was strewn ubout, und 1 desired to have it
washed; a few days after I was stunding on deck, aud
saw live of the men near me?Tompkins, Foivle. Roily,
Lioherty, and othera; Tompkins asked me to taste the cof
fee, ano raid it was salt; 1 did not taste; told thrm if it
was salt they could have tea; 1 said our stores were thn
very best; they said they had not enough to eat; 1 told
them there were two pounds of meat allowed daily to
each of thrm; these lice refused to work; they
had bread in the forecastle, to which they had acccesy;
next morning they refused 10 go to work; they did not
obey me when] ordered them to go to work; they continued
for forty eight hours to disobey orders; on the 18th of
March, three other* refused to work, and they continued
to refuse until the no it day, and I had to submit to their
tarms in order to preserve the safety of thn ship and pas
sengers; without thuse men who revolted 1 had nut
enough cf hands to work the ship; one of the boys who
did work was beaten by some of the others; after they
did go to work their conduct was very insubordinate
during hoiaterous weather: the insubordination con
tinued to tlio end of the voysge; the crew luul as much
beef and pork as I have ever known to be served out,
and they liai more of other provisions than Is generally
allowed; the reason 1 ordered the meat to be wolghed
out, was to guard against its being used iinprovidently;
on arriving here, articles of defence were found secreted
In the forecastle; tin y were iron belaying pins and woo len
blocks slung In strings; this sheath knife (produced)
was tnkeu from one of them after ho was arrested.
Other witnesses were examined to the same etl'ect. The
defence was, that the prisoners only refused to ilo work
whilst they were kept upon short provisions, and that as
soen as their rations were increased to the necessary
amount they went to work. The prisoners were alt found
guilty, and sentenced to two years Imprisonment, with
hard labor, in tbe penitentiary.

The United States vs. Isasah If. Grant and Jive
others.?Defend ante are colortd men, and formed part of
the crew of the American nlilp Columbia, comtnanrod by
Augustus I'roal. Upon the examination, Mr. Ridgway
appeared for the United .States, and Mr. Geo. M. Robin
son for the defence. The testimony showed that tho
ghtp sailed from New York on the morning of the l<lth
inst., beat to windward, and at midnight on tbe 17th,
was only seventy miles from Sandy Hook. At this time
it looked squally, and the Captain desiring to take in
acme sail, ordered the crew on deck. Defendants oil re
fused to come out of the forecastle, saying there was not
a sufficiency of crew. Copt. Froal, however, testified
that he had two more than his usual complement on
hoard, in order to make two full gangs to screw cotton
witen they should reach New Orleans, to which they
were bound. Complaint was also made that they had
not had their supper. This did not appear to be tho caso
from the evidence of the Captain aud chief mate. They .
continued off duty until yesterday morning, when tho '
master was obliged to put back into port, having failed j
in all his endeavors to persuade the men to return to ,
their duty. The Captain further testified this Insubordi- I
nation would cost, in detention of ship, pilotage, steam
beat hire, new crew, &c., near $2,000. Defendants wero
all fully committed.
OCAKGE OF BTABBINO ON THE HIGH SEAS.
The United States vs James AUen, steward of the packet
ship West 1'oint.?The evidence adduced by Mr. Ridgway
for the government, on the hearing of this case, showed
that on the 8th instant, at sea, between six and seven
o'clock In the morning, the steward, who had been un
well aud off duty for Borne time, came into the galley
where the cook was at work, when the latlcr commenced
telling Alh n how well he had performed his own duty
and Allen's during the sickness of the latter. Allen
gTumblfd and complained about several things, and
wanted to know why 1he cook was not in tho cabin at
tending tbe tableV lie replied be could not be there and
in the galley also. At tins time tho cook was stooping
down to take something from tho oven, and Allen picked
upa enrvirg knife, and made two cuts at the cook, which
cut it s cap. Tbe latter ran towards tbe door and tft-im
blcd. Allen then stabbed the cook in the head. Fully

against the defendants for injuries alleged to hare b?-cn
sustained hv the plaintiff, (an irif.int. about tiro years of

circumstances:?The defendants are the owners of n
t<nerr.( nt house on the northesst corner of Sixth avenue

in front of the house, one of the Hag stones gave way on

into tbe vault lelnw, a distance of some seven or eight
feet, by means of which the right foot of tho plaintiff
was crushed In a terrible manner, resulting in the am
t.ulation of the limb and crippling him for life. The

of j -chase. B> canvassing them: rkct pi v thorough
ly they find out Low much stock i.i hold at high prir s
and how much at lower prices; how much certain par
tics can afturd to holj, and how much stock there s
tfieat. AU there important matters being arranged to
their satisfaction, more or loss, they proceed to action,
and the wires bepin to work. Reports suddenly become
current that a dividend will he paid the nevt >:i* months
out of the net earnings. Tliore Is never any doubt
about this. Tl.c money is always in hand to do it, end a
surplus licfirles. Tbeso statements frequently attract
attention, and sometimes purchases ato inaoo by out
sider* upon a firm belief In their truth. This blips
along the movement and relieves the wire pollers of so
niui h stock. Au inflation sometimes follows rue.li op. rr
tlous, and for a time even thing w orks well. Tie i?.?
provement in pilcca Is apparently i- A; aifl fur the p:r
poso of keeping the market active, the clique purchase
largely at their own advance. ^Aftcr a time prieus be
come sufficiently lufln-cl to induce many outside h' l ?
to realire, an.) the supply of stock becomes t' o hrge fo bo
carlly managed. Notwithstanding this difficulty, the
msrket inurt not be suffered to lag or prices to ; ive way,
and the purchases of the combination coniinue. 'Iho
fact soon appears that they have gut a large portkm of
the capital Mock, without any demand In tire market.
To 1 t prices town suddenly would produce s panic, end
bring out a perfect deluge of stock; to carry such an Im
mer.se burden involves most minors sacriflrca, ami the
rnly alternative Is to let the market down as easily and (
si gradually *" possible, lb i is a very dlfflcul
Mtttr, and cannot be done without serious
lose. In nearly every cornering combination we
have been acquainted with, some of the clique,
more shrewd than others, havo managed to
slip out and caddie their associates with their stock at
high prices, We have never known a successful corner,
even when the fancy stocks were of less magnitude than
at present, and we feel pretty confident that such a ,
movement cannot be carrier! out with more favorable re
sults uow. w hen fancy stocks reprc cnt millions of capital
instra<t of hundreds of thousands, as heretofore. We
allude to these thiDg* here, because a movement similar
to that described has recently been perfected by a set of
speculators, in the stock of the Cumberland Coal Com
pany. It is not impossible but that outsiders may be
attracted by the fine stories told of receipts, profits, divl- |
dends &e., and be drawn in; hut we can assure them at
the start, that it is nothing more or less than one of those
illusions, or delusions, which so frequently appear in
Wall street. Cumberland may be a good card tor a time;
but it will prove a dead weight in the hands of those who
may be uufurtunats enough to be obliged to carry it. In
other stocks there has been no change of consequence,
either in position or prises. There are no indications of
any improvement, and the efTort made to sustain the
market value of stocks generally, must bo a very strong
and desperate one, without great doubts of its success
throughout.

The president of the Vallecello Silver Mining Com
pany, of Mexico?Mr. Reynolds?In his recent report to
the stockholders, makes tho following remarks relative
to the productiveness of mines, and tho feeling gene
rally entertained regarding such investments. They are
so much to the point, and are so applicable at the pre
sent moment to tho position and progress of this impor
tant interest, that we give them at length. It is full time
those engaged in the pursuit of mining had this vita'
question presented to thorn in a proper light. Disap
1 ointment has followed disappointment; all sorts of pro
mises have been made, and as frequently broken. Wo
do not mean to charge those who have made them with
the intention of deceiving; for it is our bellof that it was
the result more of Ignoranco than design; hut wo wish
to see patience as well as perseverance exercised by those
interested, and there need be no fears as to the ultimate
productiveness of our mines:?
I nm told 1* in usual to make estimates of tho returns
that mines will yield, and especially that tlieso are neces
sary at. inducements for the Investment of capital. I am
also told that disappointment begins to tread very
closely on the heels of promise in many of these enter
prises, at the present time. Is it strange that It should
be so? Have men any more right to expect success in
mining than they hate in any other important business,
without employing the proper means, guided by the re
quisite knowledge and experience? Is this the fault of
the rich mineral deposits in which our country is known
to abound? Or can any deny that in every country
where mining is legitimately followed, it is of more en
during profit than any other pursuit? If a merchant
weri t j hll his store with worthless and unstlo.ihle ar
ticles, bought without knowledge and without reference
to value, would It he strange that he should do a losing
business? and would his lailere lie any reason why a pru
dent man should not buy erd Fell merchandise? In
a mining ci untry, like Mexico, tor instance, where Un
lit', lo knowledge I have on this subject has been acquired
during the past three years, and wluue the tlrst feverish
excitement always attending any new leading pursuit
has long since subsided and passed away, the fir-t ex pen
diture in proving tho character of a vein isalwiys
(leiinod a lottery, with more or It sa chances of success ?
and with them it is the only lottery. Nor do they hesi
tate, when the character of the vein is known, to expend
any required amount, however large, to put it in suc
ciHSiul operation, and deem the time short if accom
I lidied in throe y eais. They are then paid for waiting,
and lmvo a property that may be transmittel from
gem ration to generation. Netrly all the brilliant for
tunes and great lauded estates ot the republic are In the
hands of descendants of mining families. Tho English,
who ate bully miners, expended two millions of dollars
in restoring and putting in order the llolono's Mine, be
! fere they get any returns. There have b, en siugleye.trs
I sit ee tluit time, in which the bullion produced was equal
to the money first expended. In restoring, clearing out,
i and repairing the outworks of the great J,u Lux Mine, af
i ti r the revolution, #800,000 were expended before any
| returns. This mine, during the last six years, has pre
i duccd many millions net profits. ThoK"t\l dol Monte
| tiives to its proprietors at present nearly tvo hundred
I thousand dollars per month. It Is indeed a sorry mine
| here, or elsewhere, properly opened and wmk.d, if it do
: not noy a good dividend (,n a capital of a million.
Why, then. Is it that there aro so rnanv disappoint
mints in tlie I nited States? Tho answer, unfortunately,
is lo be found in tho undeniable 'fact that In too me.uy
Instances the proper means have not been employed. A
location i; made or a tract is purchased, having an out
i crop ping vein upon it; an excavation i" ma io on tho
vein, for anything und. r a bundr< d fee Pis. after all, but
I an exes\stion; a few fine specimens of ore are p rocitre l,
and torthwitb a company ,s formed. One-third, one half,
or eveu two-thirds oi til# stock Is divided between the
owners or getters up: a Whole fortune hi given away for
selling the scrip: a Inn or two of ore is hurrfel to tho

coming; the stock is thrown on the market, with sn
abundant supply of '?tine prospects, promising tide,

and in; n matltrof course, disappointment follows, ami
