And although the eti- quette of the service may perhaps enjoin silence among the ofjicers an to the propriety or expediency of orders Gaaansting from the War Office, yet we have heard no officer of this Department attempt to palliate the con- Guct of the Seoretary. The organ of the aduninistration thas recognized the pecessity of offering an apology for the Seeretary, and, with a view to that gentleman's vin Gication, has asserted that General Wool disobeyed ‘This instructions, How grossly unjust and untrue is ‘this accusation we have already proved, by quoting Seeretary’s letter of instructions and frem the proclamation of President Pierce. The burden of Gene- Xal_ Wool’s mission to California was to preserve peace with Mexico until after the completion of the Gadsden treaty : To this end, he was instructed to use all the foresand Authority vested in him to break up the Blibustering ex- tions then in progress for the invasion of Sonora. flow well he accomplished his task, and what golden Dpiuions he won in its accomp!’shment, need not now be told, The Union States thet General Wool was sent to the Pacific to reform tle abuses reported to‘exist in fome branches of the service, and to secure peace on the Indian border by those measures which had been provided.

But General Wool’s headquarters were to be in the field.” There is nothing of the sort his instructions. Of this stupidity the Secretary must acquitted—the stupidity of sending a Major-General, ‘second in rank in the army of the United States, in- fo the field when he could not muster about him more @han a single company, and that not full, What balder- ash: is this then, that the organ of the federal adminis- | Bration is guilty of, to say that his head-quarters ‘‘were fo be in the field.” But his hoad-quarters ‘‘were to bein ‘the field, the military logic of this grand War cari nage twice re- iterated ukase.

Wool has not visited Utah, (Oregon, and the outer posts of California. We do not any two officers of more desperate energy or E sion ape ox: nces in mountain life than Lieutenant lieutenant Moore; but it would break down a of endurance which General fool has been at. head of the depariment. And it Bs to a veteran officer whose locks are bleached im the Bervice of his country that his prime secretary sets a mselesa labor that would task the endurance of Hughes, Bhe pedestrian. It is needless to say that no officer in Command of this de ent has ever thought of doin; what General Wool is chidden by the organ of the ade Wainistration for not doing. ‘We do not much blame the Union for saying these Yooliah things. It is its office—unpleasant, porhaps; Dut still its office. If ordered to praise General Wool it ould no doubt have praised him.

Nuw Yoru, Noy, 1, 185+ | Duan Sm—Mn publishing the annexed, you will be doing | justice to one well worthy of honor as nation’s repre sentative. I was surprised at the communications pub- | Hched im your columns from ene Capt, Edward Beatty, | who must be under some delusion as regards the coa- duct and character of J. Randolph Clay, Exq., our Minis- ter, &e., to the republic of Peru generous in the ca: (even were his sw es correct,) who, being in Lima, thousands of miles away, has but a poor chance of sug- | cessfully meeting the aspersions upon his public charac. ter. .I can speak, sir, from experience and personal knowledge of Mr. Clay, that a be presentative the United States nover sent to South Am@¥ica, For up. wards of three years I was on that coast, during which I visited Lima several times, spending some little while there each I went there a stran- ger, and introduced myself to Mr. Clay, who wel me most cordially as an’ American citizen. Thad many, many opportunities of seeing Mr. Clay ‘n his official character, for difficulties were contin- ually ceeurring in that quarter, espectally during the rush to California. On every occasion, Mr. Clay proved himself equal to the high trust reposed in him i our government; ‘and since my retarn home, and upon Mr. lay’s re-appointment, and looking upon these appoint- ments generally given ont as political preferments, I was gratified at the choice, that one at least had been remp- pointed independently’ of political influence, well worthy of such am honor. Mr. Clay is well versed in diplomacy, which consists not in anexcited braggadocio, but in act- ing manfully, promptly, and with dignity. He is a gen- tlemen by birth and education, a perfect scholar, and a good statesman—one whom I and every American should be proud to imitate. But the most conclusive proof that Mr. Clay is eminently qualified for the station he oceu- | Pies, is to be found in the fact that he has been retain- edabroad as 9 representative of our government through successive administrations, without distinction of party, for a period of twenty years and more—at St. Petersburg, jenna, and elsewhere—and it was only a few days ago that the papers here applauded the Promptitude with | which he acted in personally demanding and obtaini the release of an American citizen unjustly condemned. I have avoided any personal allusions to Capt. Beatty, answer to his aspersions on Mr. Clay, but the bitterness expressed in his communication should be a sufficient rebuke, and does but little injury to Mr. Clay’s charac- | ter.

T referred in my last to the mining ordinance of Mexi- co, (it may happen that I shall, by your leave, Mr. Editor, do so again,) and promised an interpretation of it. I would like to insert this ordinance, but am ad- monished that the great press upon your columns may not admit of it, The following is a synopsis of its pro- visions :— First. No individual shareholder is Hable for a greater | Amount than he obliges himself to expend in the work- | ing of a mine. Second. If a shareholder shall refuse to pay his share of the expense, being called on to do so, he exposes him- elf to a forfeiture of his share ; but not until four months notice from the owners shall have been served upon him—and this is all the demand that can be made against him. Ins word, no one loses a greater amount in he subscribes for. ‘Third. No debt can be created against a mine, but by | duly authorized persons, and these persons must be im- liately connected with the management of the com- pany, and then only for current expenses. Fourth. The debt of a mine can only be equal to the money expended. Should any misfortune occur, or the mine fail to pay back any debt due by it, the mine it- self is the debtor, and the only debtor, unless otherwise by special agreement between the parties, There is no individual responsibility, making a share- holder liable beyond his voluntary instalments. This i os substence of the ‘‘Ordenanza de Mineria” of fexico. An experienced miner, and one tap Mt with mining operations in Mexico,says:—“Mining would never be entered into so freely in Mexico were it not so judi- ciously guarded by the laws of Mexico. The Spaniards, who framed those laws, knew this full well, and made provisions accordingly.” 1 promised in a previous number to write about the enriching productiveness of mines when worked by ca- pital, science and onlightened labor. I have an article on this branch of the subject, but have concluded to lay | it aside, and give only a few of the results of this sys- | tematic working. The mines of Guanajuato, and the vastness of their productions, are world renowned. Their enormous Yields may be inferred from the fact that a vara (the one-twenty-fourth part of a share) is sold —when it can be had at all—as high as from one to two hundred thousand dollars. One of these mines, I am informed on reliable authority, yielded, for the greater part of the last six years, an average of twenty-four thousand dollars pec day. 'No price can be set on the stock of this mine. Another mine, of the same name, in Catorce, leaves to its owners weekly about fers thousand dollars. Som. brereta is known to bepuh f |, in the short space of seven months, a clean proiit of five millions of dollars. In Zacatecas there is scarcely a mine whose bonanza ‘ (rich yield of silver,) falls short of some millions. Real del Monte mine is now yfelding over two hundred thousand dollars per month. Lana Vasio yielded ina few years forty-five millions; and Gal in the years 1849 to 1835, (six years,) eleven millior ns. Tcould add many more; but let this suffice for the | present. Now, it is not my wish to be understood that these im mene treasures—(although I have shown in a previ number that they have been stumbled upon bj literate, the poor, and, if you please, the worth! se) —are to be obtained with certainty without capital and labor, guided by science and sustained by all the appurtenances pi belong to a system arral to embrace this great object. * it is with Leaps | for silver in Mexico, or any where else, as it is with eflorts to compass other great and en- riching ends. As egal rig metallifurus regions in Mexico, the richest in the known world, somo by the merest accidents, as I have shown, stumble on these treasures; so in matters of trade and commerce, in all their varieties, some, under the rough and tumble of a mysterious destiny, wilh as little skill, no capital, and Ittile brains, and with no greater effort, become owners of great’ estates. | sidered the rule, but th projects, no mere coming ception, No filib in Mexico. Whoever gocs after God’ mown to be, g in countless millions, must bod on the whole armor of preparation—be clothed with capital, with science, skill, persevering industry, and yh: ing labor—not losing sight of economy. Thus pre- pared, I have not a doubt—there is no room for doubt— there can be no such thing as fail AMERICANUS, 8) In THE GAME OF BASE BALL.

The boarding houses of our city have, during the past improved. Their tables are bet- ter, and the comforts of their chambers cannot well be surpassed. A majority of these houses are kept by worthy, industrious, enterprising widows, who have been driven by an inscrutable Providence to this mode of a genteel livelihood. At the best, it is » poor means of subsistence, and at’ the ensuing Congress we hope for more liberality towards these ladies than has heretofore prevailed, and asthe markets are exorbitantly high, trust that a “better feeling’? will be exhibited by those whose means are sinple.

Every maritime outlet of the Russian empire has been sealed up by our ships, our flag has carried up to the shores of the enemy, and he has been insulted by open challenze and defiance at the very mouths ef his guns, O.0 step further has been taken. A specimen of the granite fortifications on which his reliance is placed was actu- ally assailed by the allies, and in this trial of strength between the resources of the bolligerents the superiority was found se wholly on our sido that Bomarsund was taken not only without loss, but, comparatively speaking, without effort. Finally, the entire fleet tehed on this mission has been preserved from injury. Notwith- Pervanic gr notorious difficulties of the navigation, all casualties haye been escaped; nor is there so much as the logs of a single cruiser to be set down to the adverse side of the account. broadly at the matter, and | speaking candidly, we we might say that such a result would, — the whole, have boen generally ac- cepted six months ago as a tolerably favorable conclu- | sion. Of course, there were persons who thought that | Cronstadt onght to be taken and tho Russian fleets | Drought to Spithead within five weeks or 60, but the great ly of Englishmen knew and felt that the first duty of our Admirals was to maintain a thorough and effectual blockade without exposing their ships to a aa tthe fieet ee the our fleet would, of course, have proceeded at once, and it will be remembered that tho first division of ves- sels despatched to the Baltic was so inferior in number | tothe Russian squadron that nothing could have been more defiant than the challenge thrown out. it such | fighting as this was not in the Czar’s designs. What he | Wi ‘was to allure our ships into an engi nt with | his shore fortifications, so that, after our walls of wood j had got the worst against his walls of rock, his fleets might sail out of their a places and find easy work with our shattered and fited squadrons. ‘This was the risk to be escaped, and this risk has indeed been escaped, while the fleets of the enemy have been confined within their fortified harbors. Nevertheless, we shall not be wrong in sur- | mising that the p nt feeling on this question | will be one of dissatisfaction, and that this conclusion | will find some justification in argument. Such results as those described, however desirable in themselves, are certainly mot commensurate with the magnitude of the means employed. Of such a fleet as we despatched to the Baltic more might naturally be expected than that it should come home safe again. A naval force | so powerful, so well raanned, and so admirably appoint- ed, never left the shores of this or any other kingdom. Its equipment, in regard to strength and resources, was perfect beyond example. Every ship was a stupendous machine of offence, and ines of destruction unheard of in past times were at the command of men and offi- cers inferior to none who ever sailed. Surely, some- | thing more than was at_first designed might have been | achieved with such a squadron. It would be unfair to | shape our conclusions by any contrast with epee tions in the Crimea. Each crmpaign should be estimat- | ed by itself; but, even thus, the — from the Baltic | leave much’to be desired. Undoubtedly it was wire to | avoid the trap which the Czar bad laid for us in front of | his batteries; but after the resulf of the Fsund ex- | periment it seems natural to inquire both why that e: | eriment could not have been tried earlier, and why so sa- | fisfactory an issue was not more effectually followed up. | ‘The attack upon the Aland Isles taught the fleet and the | world that granite ramparts were not impregnable to can- nonshot, nor did all the boasted resources at the command | of the besieged, such as red-hot balls, &e., produce the de- struction, or even the jeopardy, of a single vessel of the at- tacking force. It is true that a large body of land troops assisted at the operations, but it is also true that this re- | inforeement proved to uife unnecessary, and if among the marines of the allied fleets there were 500 or 600 who could use the Minie rifle with effect, the whole affair might have been accomplished at any moment b: | the unaided forces of the squadrons themselves. Al- though, moreover, we have bearded the enemy in his | own strongholds, it is hardly to be conceived but what | our indisposition to close with his , must have | given him increased confidence in his own defences. The very demonstrations, too, which we made in the way of | reconnoitering and sounding may have had the effoct of | showing him his weak points, and of enabling him to | str en them against future attack. | _ It cannot, however, be denied that these disappoint- ments aré in some measure traceable to errors judg: ment on the part of those who were charged with equipment of the fleet. The truth is that our attention had never been directed to this species of warfare.

T recollect that about an hour before the ship sunk, I was hurriedly searching for spikes to help to form a raft. Thad just passed through the saloon; on the sofas were men who had fainted—and there were many of them, too; the ladies were in little groups, clas] together: and they to me to be Haney que and resign: ed.

He new that any chance I had would be shared with him; and I have often thought how strange it is that that young man should for a moment quit his gun to inquire after my safety, and never for a moment think of his own. it such was Stewart Holland. I recollect dis- tinctly his appearance as he hailed me from the deck. The right side of his face was black with powder, and two large spots on the left side.

(From the Hong-Kong Register; Aug. 15.} A few cnrions incidents have come to our knowledge, arising from the late visit made by Commodore Perry to Japan; one of them peculiarly so, as showing the long and still existing hatred which this people have borne, id still bear, to the name of Christ. When the treaty ras placed before the Japanese officials for signature, they immediately noticed literal translation which was given to the words commonly used by Christian nations in such documents, ‘‘in the year of our Lord,” and refused hig rt gen to attach their signatures while these (to t! ) offensive words remained. They would ge no reason, nor enter into any argument on | the matter, but simply held fast to the plain refusal. A kind of ise was made; and years many people will think Commodore did not act as the commis- sioner of a Christian country ought to have acted on the | occasion. For the expression “in the year of our Lord” was substituted ‘‘in the year of remembrance.’’ Some books, which had been given by officers of the expedition to the people, in which the name of Jesus Christ oc- curred, were returned by the government officers, and it | D4 ashe not one copy thus given away remains in country.

The land was bought within » few years at a very moderate rate, at | auction.” Tt was not known at the time of the sale that | cessful bid:ier was the agent of Mr. Fitrsimmons,, ; } | ‘he the Catholic priest of the place. Some of the citizens were quite enraged when they ascertained that « Catho- lic ehurch was to be erected in the heart of the vitiage, on the most eligible vacant lot. Their hostility to the project was increased by their unsuccessful attempts to purchase the lot of Mr. Fitesimmons at a large advance | nthe sum which he gave for it, and also by a report afterwards cireulated that he intended to open a burial | fous on a part of the lot. The citizens petitioned the | egislature to pass a law forbidding « cemetery to be | opened without the consent of the Mayor and Aldermen | of 8 sity, or the Selectinen of a town, as the case might | be. A law of this character passed the House of Repre- | sentatives in 1 ‘While it was pending in the Senate, | Bishop Fitzpatrick is reported: to shave called on several Senators and told them that “his people’? would not sub- | mit to such @ law, or something to that effect.

The Catholic church, it will be recollected, suffered severely on the night pre- | ceding the fourth of July. Some rascals placed in it a bomb, or some other explosive material, which fractured | the slated roofing, but did not dislocate the layers of stone. ‘The cause of the explosion was examined by the Grand Jury, but no bill was found against any one. The priest has held the deed of the land, and refused to con- vey it tothe bishop. He became much embarrassed, and a mortgage on the land was recently entered for foreclosure, and this accounts for the sale.—Boston Jour- nal, Nov. 1.

The tendency of prices in the stock market still con- tinues downward. Illinois Central Bonds and Erie Rail- road stock were the only active securities on the list, and the demand for these was larger than usual, with- out any variation in market value. Most of the pur- chases of Illinois bonds were for remittance to Europe on foreign account. The purchases of Erie Railroad stock were principally by the shorts, for delivery on ma- tured contracts. We notice sales to-day of bank stock to some extent. The actual sales of every class of stocks are forced. Noone who can hold will sell at anything like current prices. Unfortunately, many large holders are compelled to realize at any sacrifice, tq raise the means to meet their business engagements. The strin- geney in the money market, which came so suddenly upon us, found many unprepared, and they have been holding their stock securities with the hope that better times would rule before they were compelled to sell. Up to this time their hopes have not been realized, and where they have been forced upon the market acrious losses have been the result. At the first board to-day Erie Bonds, 1853, fell off 3¢ per cent; Nicaragua Transit, 3; Michigan Central Rail- road, 3<; Cleveland and Toledo Railroad, 13. Virginia 6's advanced %{ percent. At the second board the mar- ket was a shade better, but there is so little doing that it is impossible to tell what turn prices will take from one board to another. Erie, Cumberland, Reading and New York Central were a fraction higher this afternoon. Hold- ers of stocks are hypothecating them at high rates of in- terest, to raise the means to meet immediate wants, and the market is not, therefore, so well supplied with stock as it otherwise would be. If the tightness in the monoy market continues, these stocka must ultimately come out and sales forced at low prices, but owners are dis- posed to pay a heavy intorest for money rather than part with them at their present value. 2 After the adjournment of the board the following sales of stocks and bonds were made at auction by A.
