Among the latter was the ove for peying Father Ritchie « fair price for exe- cuting « porion of the public printing, which he contracted to execute greatly under the customary prices. Should the Senate insist upon the preser- vation of this amendment, some of Mr, Ritchie's enemies in the House will to-night make an efiort to defeat the whole Civil and Diplomatic bill, by withdrawing from the hail and refusing to vote, in euch force as to leave the House without a quorum, Many ot the members huve already gone home, and the number left ney easily be reduced, by a factious clique, below 117; and when the House shell get reduced below that number, it can pass no bilis, for there will be no quoram.

Let the old mian retire With at least enough to keep soul and body together for the few short years of hie life remaiming. Another thing upon which the House will cavil will be the constructive mileage of the Senate, which they have refused to give up.

We admire the good sense of Beoger, who has no objection, a3 a Senalur, to pocket this constructive mileage.

My lust to you bore date, if I remember well, July 7th, and if well read, I am sure, was well cal- culated to create a variation in the needle that for the last two years has so steadily pointed to Cali- fornia as the treasure-trove, par excellence, of the ege. Two years ago, had it been poised abroad emong your Wall etreet stock jobbing and gold dabbling speculators, thet an El Dorado was to shine out from the comparatively unknown world of Venezuele, it would have been looked on then by them, as the wild chimera that James ot Eag- land though born in eigh’s brain, when, from the recesses of histower dungeon, be told of the golden tressvres of Manoa that glistened on the shores ef the Oronoco, avd weited but for the ga- thering time of the British adveotuver. But t«o years have paseed, end the ears of millions bave become greedy to drink in the wonderous tales of newly ciscovered treasure. And two hundred years, too, have gone by as since Sir Walter was anghed at as the echeming adventurer ef the New World. Who then believed him true whea he esked his King tolet him go gather the rich har- vest of hi overy, or bis deeam? And yet, while we are trembling oa the very axis of the 1%h ceitury, memorable ineholeras and Califor- nias, the news is wafted to us here in Caracas, that the Yurivri teems with gold, und Venezuela, no ae bound down and frowned at by Spanish Are ma ready imagines herself in the enjoyment of a Millenium. Heaven speed her in the realiza- tion of her fond imaginings, say I for one, for she certainly deserves some change from the cruel civil distensions that, for two long years, hive wasied her streng'h and etained. her escutcheon. She may yet find friends among those she deems her encinies, and while defending their owe rights, would help her did she need protection. But where is the government that ever found prosperity hid- den in a gold or silver mine? Is Russia, with her mighty millions, the better for them? tier for r euflering myriads had her riches lain dormant Ural. But to come nearer the ridges of the pme; of what advantage have the diamond beds and gold of the only Empire on the American cou | giv. tinent been to her? Where does Brazil rank among the governments of the New World? Would it not have been better for Peru, had the Indian never told of the riches he plucked from the mountein side, es he clambered up after his game? la a word, where is the page in aucient or modern history, that opens with a gold mine, that ia not sullied, ere its close, by misery and went—at least by scele of nationality equalled only by the once fan- cied prosperity. Others have enjoyed and gloated over the frigate loads of silver that have left the | of free shores of the Pacific, and the brilliants of the Amazon have peer in many a coronet of the old world ; and yet the ence gee" empire of the Incas, and Brazit—what are they? It would be far better, then, for our own Venezuela to think ot Ti ting her debts with the mighty crops whie fully ‘restored, and its continuance guaraateed, than to be soothing herself with the flacte: une. tion of newly discovered resources. There is one way, indeed, in which ehe will derive her advan- tage from it. It will bring the American and the | gry, British, the French and the German adventurer to people her shores, #8 they have already done your own Celternia, €0 soon as the ery of * gold” went forth to eager millione—and with them will come their characteriaue energy of purpose—and then, icdeed, may the young America of the South be brovght to rival her proud sister of the North. Without emi ion, Venezuela, and indeed all Colombe, will always remain where Spaia left them. ‘Inve, indeed, she will have her statute hooks, and parchments cf her own framing; but what will theee avai! her, if she let them remeia a dead letter in her archives?

Surely, this is far from night. From the Island of Ruatan we have nothing in- teresting.
