IuPorTaNT ParEr ON MEXICO —In a leotere de- livered last evening by Colonel Ramsey, b:fore the Geographical and Statistion] Seeicty of this city, and which will be found protty_fally reported in oar columne, the most authentic and interesting infor mation ever published in reference to magaificent but unfortunate Mexico is given. We know of no person #0 well qualified to enlight- en the public on the weal.b and r-sourees of our sis ter republic as Col R Daring the Mexican war he went out ve thet country, at the head of one of tho Ponnrylvania regiments. After the termination of hostilities betwen the two republics, Colonel Ram- fay returbed to Mexico, where he has gince, for the most part, resided, oecupying himeelf wish explora- tiers and investigations throughout that eouotry, which is to such @ great extens an incognita teva. His travels and researches have enaoled him to correct many important inaccuractes | sommitted by the great traveller and natural- ist Humboldt, in reference to cerain geolo- gical aod geographical features of the interior, paiticularly with respect to the navigation of the rivers. Ho has cemonstrated aud establisbed tho fact ef the river Meseala being mavigable up toa certain height, for vessels of considerablo bardon, whereas, heretofore, ita navigation and course even were corsidered an impracticability. And so accu- rate has he been in the information he hascollected, that the Mexican authorities have eudorsed the mape and charts of eeriuin looalities drawn by him, aa the ely correct ones that had been made theroof. Coleone] Ramsay is, therefore, the best qualified perron that could have been found to coavey ia- | formation upon the important subject whieh formed | the theme of his last night’s discourse, and with great confidence we commend a carsfu! perusal of it to cur readers. Scme parte of it, especially that | Telative to the miners! retources of Mexieo, are of the highest interest We have yet = good deal to learn in regard to Mexico. We trae: that Col.

Inroatayt IntELLiogncs ynom New Muxico.— We publish to-day seme very impertans intelll- genee from New Mexico, consisting of several ori- ginal lecters upon the present condition of thet Territory, and its future prospests, which will be read with more than ordinary interest by members of Congress and all other elaseos of the community. ‘This correspondence contains items of great political and pationa) eonre quence. Among thise matters tha’ eballenge our attention ie the succers whieb has cro#ned the mew mode of eating with the Indians. It bas been fouod, at levgth, after some dear bought experience, tbat war and bos-ility are not the true means of conquering the ontameable trides of the red men, but persuasion and diplomacy.

We have teen, from the eensas reports, that tue Indian population is dying £0 rapidly away as to susgest the painfal apprebension that the day is bot dietent when the last red man shal! be seea on thie comiment. Phe effec: ofcivilization upon these savages is to exterminate sthem, aud they seom iu- capable of ama)gamation with the whiteraces Their #quaws, too, arc not of a nature to mingle with the whiter, azd ee degraded by Indian custom, that white men prefer even the dark daughters of Exhi- opin But whether or not it is tho destiny of the red rave to fade away from the earth, it is the duty of our government, until the preblem is solved, to mitigate their sufferings and te treat chem with ali procticable humanity. It will be seen, by reference to our eorrcepon- dence, that faith has not been kept with the iaha- bitants of New Mexivo, in pretecting them from hostilo Indians; and thet even the ealatior of the civil cflieers of the Territory have not yet been pud No:hing, in fact, has beon done a8 yet for New Mexico, and the native white popula-ion are left in the same barbarous jgnoranee in which our eoaquos: found them.

Semi-moathly mails are also eall-d for between Senta Fe, New Mexico, and Sea Diege, California; also, between Taos, Now Mexico, and Galt Lake City, Utah Territory. It is stated that the mineral resourcesof the Ter- ritory are inexhaustible, and ouly want a geological survey to demonstrate the fact. By» little atten- tion on the part of Congress, this beautiful virgin country may be made no; only s paradise to itsowm ixhabitouts, but a sourec of unfailing wealsh to the nation at large. That the immediate interposition of the legislature is demanded, appears from the trembling apprehensions of New Moxican sia neré that the sainte of Utah, who are dreadful eon- eumers of the fair sex, will carry off ali their women, and leave them without any to propagate the Bpe- cies. Ifavything can move the husbands, and fa thers, and young bsebelore in Congress, to speedy action in the premises, it is this touching eonsidera- tien, which ‘comes home to every man’s owm buii- meas and bosom.” Tne Large Countess of RumrorD—Auerican Nopity apaoap, etc —A very interestiag bio- grephical sketch of the Jate Countees of Rumford will be found in the letter of our Concord corres pondent, which we publish to-day.

Ié bas been raid that the ‘Society of the Cincinnati” had for ite ultimate object the creation of & repubiiasa wcliesse ws the basis of law and order; but it so heppened that Jefferson and his party, and his pria ciples, were tue powerful to be ovorsome, and thus it fell out that the most glorious nation upon earth was fourded upon the great fundamental principle ef equal rights. Mr. Jcffercon's emondments are the croam of the constitution But if Jonathan bes been denied, in his own coun- try, the gowgawe of titles, atars, erosses. and gar- tere, he has been biest with the sovisty of all sorts of the varisus orders of nobility, and even of royal. ty, from abrosd. There was the traly noble ned illustrious Marquis de Ja Fayette, and that fine speciiren of imperial glory, the ex King Joseph Bonaparte, and many othors of the Napoleon dy- nasty, and Louis Philipps, and » host of othors from the various countries of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America.
