This is al reat detriment to the advancement of the city. hen New Orleans shall belong to its own citizens, who will watch and guard her in- terest, thore may be some hope for her. The ris- ing generation may get it back; and if cnr do, New Orleans may then fulfil the destiny which na- ture has marked out for her, by becoming the greatest commeroial city in the Union. It is contemplated to hold another grand railroad convention here in June, for the purpose of keeping the people alive to their interests, and of further carrying out the system of internal improvement. In fact, an entire revolution must be brought about before we can vegele a healthy condition.

It is enough to say at present, that our citizens are al od at their precarious condition, and at the progress that other States have mado by their system of internal improvement, while we have been slumbering. A great impediment to the ad- vancement of our city has lately been removed by the ‘hand of death. ‘Three of the most wealthy men in the State, owning millions of property, and who were the enemies of internal improvement, have, within the past year, been made tu release the grasp of their idol. “The estates of John MoDonogh, Joseph Fowler, and Mr. Paulding, instead of being tied up, will now be divided and improved.

Tho most interesting ploce of news | have to com- municate, is that a delegation of six chiefs of the Jecarilla and Mescalere tribes of Apachvs, arrived in this city on Saturday last, in compaay with Mr. J. B. Latz, for the puipore of making a standing treaty of peace, and obtaining a dona tiva of publio lands forcultivation. The conversation which took place on Saturday afternoon between them and Governor Calhoun, at the Palace, is worth desorib- ing. On being introduced and interrogated, the spokesman of the party said :— **We are Apaches of the Jocarillas and Moesca- leros. Our chiefs are rulers, asour Father is. All our people are South ef the Rio Pecos. We come to seo our Father, to know if ho is pleased with us.” Tho Governor roplied that he was glud te seo therm; told them not te fear, but speuk boldly and he would send them back safe to their lodges. **We come to telk to our Father,” was the ro- ply; ‘* we have no fear.” Being interrogated as to the events at Point of Rocks, Wagon Mound, &o., they answored, * Wo do not knew who killed our Father's children, or ran off the mules.” (Tho Jecarillas were at that time in the White Mountains.) On being asked as to the numbor of captives among them, the reply was, “‘the Mexican chief (meaning the interpreter,) knows what captives we have—no Mexicans, no Americans. We do not lie to our Father; we tell one story.” The dialogue thon went on as follows:— ** Why do the Apaches come te us nowt” A “We want peace. We come te make a chain of . “How many warriors bave the Apaches?” * Tho Jecarilies have many lodges.” “Have the ohiefs here power to treat for the tribes?” “ Wo hove power to speak for the Apaches; not for other nations.” “What will the chiefs do? Will they buildlodgos, sow the ground, and live in fixed limits t” “If the rest of the tribes will make Paeblos, wo will be glad. We will goand talk with our eld mon and chiefs ” ¥ “The chiefs have power. Will they makoa treaty now? Will they sign a paper” After this question, there was a silence rooye | the deputation fo: twenty minutes; then a protract jabbering aw themselves. Finally, they said: Woe will speak with our nation, then come to yeu with many chiefs. We wanted to make peace at Vegas; but the people made war. We now come to our Father. We come to know what he wants. If ho says we must be killed, we die Ifho tolls us kill for him, we will do it. We will sign the paper for the Apaches.” ‘The mterview, thus prosperously going on, wie intennupted by the arrival ofan express from Albu- querque, bringi: mationt hat Chacon,” the head chicf, had n brought to that place by Lieut.

The transactions were to about the usual extent, and prices vary but slightly from those current at the cloee yesterday, There is an impression im the stroot that a considerable advance will be realized on most of the fancles. before the lapse of sixty days. This belief is based upon the fact, that several millions of specie will be drawn from the Independent Treasury, within the period above-named, which, with the recelpts of gold from California will give an casior money market thaa wohavo had for many months. The government will Pay out, between this and the Ist of July, nearly six mil- lions in specie. This is now on dep»it in the govern- ment depositories, and when put again into circulation, it must give a great impotus to commercial operations. Herctofore, when the government kept a surplus revenue bn deporit in banks, any large payment had rather an unfierorable infucnce upon financial aifairs,as the banka were compelled to call in loans from their regular cus- tomers, and their ordinary mon “of business was dis- turhed. Now the case is entirely different. According to the Iateet returns, the government had on hand more than fifteen millions of epcoie, That immense amount has been drawn from the obannols of commerce, and has been lying idle in the bands of the Assistant ‘Treasurers. A distribution of six to eight millions of this dormant capital, will give great vigor to the move- mente of trade, and form the basts of credits for three or four times tho amount. We have no doubt but that within the next sixty days, at Least, twolre millions of specie will be put upom tho market, most of which the banks will get hold of, and, if possible, keep. The de- mand for shipment to foreign ports may continue, aud a large portion of our recoipts may go abroad, but thore will be, without doubt, a steady accumulation of apecie in the vaults of our banks, and in ciroulgtion through out the country, which wil! not only sustain the prosont expansion of credits, but sustain a steady ineresse. It is this view of our financial affairs that bas given many the impression that a speculative movement of conside rablo importance will be soon roalized im the fancy stock Market, Bach a state of ings would be very likely to produce euch w result; but it by no moans follows that prices for stock must advance with any great increase in tho supply of money, any reduotion in the rate of in- terest, oF any unweuad facility for obtaining loans on hy- potbeeation cf ordinary securities. The prospect is cer- tainly favorable for a moderate rise im stocks; but we are by.no means disposed to believe that any important specnlative movement will ts ko piace ‘Tho receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer, of this pert. to-day, amounted to $115.250 62; payments, $7,007 21.

Holders of our moro solid eccurities have evines® | lttte disposition to transfer their lavestments, preferring | to leave their capital whore it is paying « falr rate of tm- terest, than run the risk of depreciation by purchadng stocks professing to be more productive, but of « more uncertain character. There is, however, a class of opeou- lators, who have all their means invested in famey stock and they operate in them from day to day, yoar after year, and contrive to squoene out a pretty fair living frews the ups and downs in prices. Capitalists who deal ke sound stocks, those which pay a good rate of interest, seldom change tholr Investments, unless somothing mere Productive, and equally safe, presenta itself, amd the pre- sent moment is by no means propitious for any trandiar | of money from one employment to another. There ap- pears to be an abundance of capital in the market, bab thore are calls enough to absorb it nearly as fast as it com bo created. Amidst all this, there is no speculation tm any artiole of produce, in consequonce of the stesdinans of supplies, Dut there is an expansion going on in every department o€ business, that must ultimately prove ne disastrous es the most extended spcoulative movement ever known. Wo canuot realise the rapi@i- ty with which pubiic and paivate credit is imoreas- ing. The faoilities, for some time past, have beea se bundant, and Fo easily obtained, that every one has mado the opportunity availsbic to branch out inte seme new operation, and carry It forward rashly and reckloatig. - The rise in prices for real estate, for instance, has aot only been rapid, but hes been tong continued, #0 that ab this moment an advance of fifty wnd one hundred per coms ‘ Ise common clroumstance. This advance has been the re sult of one steady progressive movement. It is not the result of any sudden temporary infiation, carried on ty and confined to a small clique of speculators, whese wenans are limited, and whose operations are pria- cipally on their individual credit, but it has bem caused, partially, by an aotual bona fide improve ment im the value of this species of property, growing out of tho increased demand for the logitimate movements of commerce but principally by the atirae- tion of an immense amount of real capital te the ée- velopcment of the resources and advantages of certatm localities, and the actual creation of property by the employment of artizans inthe ereetion of warehouse, be. | A movement in real ostate similar to that now pre- grossing, Is not £0 muck to be deprocaied as the feisting upon the public ruch schemes of doubtful character aw wo have heretofore been flooded with.
