MARS MEETING AT STRUBEN ‘AND UNEMPLOYRD—PROPOSITION TO FORM 4 GENE ‘AL WORKINGMEN’S UNION FOR THE ENTIRE COUN TKY— RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT NONE BUT WORKING- MEN FOR OFYICE--WHAT THE COMMITTEE THINK OF THE CENTRAL PARK COMMISSIONERS—A COLD BATH PROPOSED FOR THEM—-HOW BEELER BLED C. GOD- FREY GUNTHER OUT OF $50, AND HOW BE DIVIDED ° a PART OF IT—THE COMMITTEE EMPOWERED TO PREPARE AN ADDRESS TO THE WORKINGMEN 09 THE UNION, BTC. The Executive Committee of unemployed workingmen, im consequence of their inability to procure work for the classes whem they represemt, yesterday called @ mass meeting of the employed as well as the unemployed of the ity to moet at No. 293 Bowery, at 9 o’clock in the morn- ing, for the purpose of discussing the labor question, and to devise means for the organization of a Workingmen’s ‘Union throughout the entire country. In accordance with ‘his cal] some one or two hundred people were convened st the hour and place named, when the chairman of the committee, James L. McGuire, proceeded to address them, and inform them of the objects for which they had been called together. He said tho appointees of a King had some $250,000 of the people’s money in their pockets, which had been voted to them by the Common Council fer the benefit of the workingmen; but the Commisssion- ers of the Central Park, instead of using it as was mtended by the by the Common Council, now refused to em- ploy them, and would not even allow them hardly to como moto their royai presence. He disclaimed any right on the part of the Commissioners thus to treat them. They were the people’s servante, and if they did not know bet- ter, why, they should be turned out, and proper men put jm their places. He would himself go to headquarters and petition the Governor to turn them out and appoint proper men, if he had the means to do so with. (A\ > There was not an American among the Commissioners, for Mf there was, they would give the workingman a fair hear- ‘mg. He did not wish his countrymen to think that they were Americans, as he did not wish them to prejudice their minds against the people of this country in consequence of the act of these Commissioners, nor did he wish to preju- dice their minds against the natives of and other country ‘es & mass, Dut he did wish to make them understand that these Commissioners were no friends of the workingmen. ‘There were, he was sorry to say, two of these Commis wioners countrymen of hig—but they were the sons of Brisb aristocrats, and consequently enemies of the work- imgmen. Every man in the street now would gladly meet and grasp the workingman by the hand, because it ‘was election next week. It made no difference whether the man had a vote or not, so long as he had any influence, and he would like toseet man who had not some little tftuence with some one. But after the election they would not be spoken to or known by these same men who ‘were now so plausible and friendly to the workingman. ‘and why was allthis? He would answer. Jt was merely te secure their votes and influence; after which they might take care of themselves the best way they could. The committee had come there to say to the workingmen that the day before yesterday, when the Common Council saw that the Central Park Commissioners would not give as employment at our urgent petition, passed a resolution authorizing one of the Street Commissioners to go on with the grading of Second avenue, by which means they hope te employ some four or five thousand workingmen. This, though, could not_be done at once, as it took time to put everything through @ legal course ‘before they could set the men to work. When they had found that the Com. missiovers of Central Park put the money in their pocket and refused to do anything for the poor men, until, as they said, they could raise the money on bond and mortgage, we waited on Mr. Flagg and stated our case to thim. and requested him to pay into the hands of the Com- missioners $1,000 per day for thirty days, which he con- sented to do at once, and accordingly gave them the re- quisite amount of money, so that they could have at onée employed at least one thousand men. The Street Commis- sioner, Ms. Devlin, will no doubt go on with the Second avenue improvement as soon as possible. The Post Office improvement will also be commenced at_ once or as soon as the bargain is ratified by McKeon, in whose hands the government has now left it. This McKeon, gen- tlemen. I am sorry to say is not one of tMe people, but a man who was not as disinterested or ag friendly to the poor man as he might be. Mr. Buchanan, who is the people's choice, keeps this man in office, well knowing ashe does, that the people of York are opposed ‘to him, and that he has rendered himself obnoxious to them. ' I would say that if the people of this city would rise up and demand en masse of Mr. Buchanan the re moval of this McKeon, I have no doubt that it would be done at once, and we should have at least a fair hearing, ‘which we know we will not if this McKeon is continued in office. We know that be will not do anything for the poor man until he is obliged to, because if he does not frown on the people he will not be worshipped by the money is of Wall street and aristocrats of this city. It would we 1 if you would try and stop the emigration of any more of our countrymen tothis country, for a while wt Jeast, as by that means we might secure work for those already here, and so that we should haye no more disor- ganizers in our midst until we can do something for our- selves. It cannot be said, particularly of the Germans, they are disorganizers, for they are by far the most Joyal of all our adopted citizens of this country, for they ail hold together and work together, which cannot, 1 am be said of the portion whom I represent. 7 question for us to discuss to-day is, labor as against capital, for at the presenttime itis capital against labor; but we are determined that it shall be so no longer. We mean to make labor the plaintiff and capital the de- fendant. The call of this mecting this morning was fo the parpose of | informing “you what been said ‘and recommended by “the Aldermen and of this city by advice of his Honor the Mayor, as I am informed. It is this when the contemplated improvements ‘and works are commenced, and a!) classes of working. men have obtained employment, and when every work- fmgman can come home at night with a dollar or tweive shillings in his pocket to his family, that the workingmen shall then form an association or union throughout the country, when this committee will see to it that a corres pondence is carried on with every class of workingmen ‘all over the country, so that we can thereby form a band of union imorder & protect our rights; and when that is formed, we can then successfully array labor against copia; then we would like to see any king in this or any r country appoint our rulers over us. ‘Mr. Moticms then proceeded to state that he had been informed that some of the moruing papers bad said that a @ommunication was received by the at the Academy of Music on Tuesday night, endorsing Nemann, ‘which purported to come from the Executive Committee ‘of workingmen; but he, as one of that committee, knew mothing of it, and be had consulted with the other members of the committee, each of whom had in- formed him that he knew nothing whatever of any euch letter, He therefore defied any one to the that any fucn letter bad been sent by that body He disclaimed the idea of that being a political body or hay anything to do with politics im any manner whatever, but thought the entire body would go for & man that they knew was their friend. Lf any one, however, wanted Lo do otherwise he thought they should have the privilege. He wanted just such @ man as the present Mayor, who had always received the poor man with nearly as much courtesey as he had the rich one, and quite as much ax he would old Massa Greeley or any of that tribe. (Applause.) GEORGE NOLL'S SPEECH. The next speaker was George Noll, who spoke substan. Uantially as follows: —He was in favor of an immediate or ization of the workingmen all over the Union, so that y might meet together as friends, no matter what and who they were, as jong as they were workingmen. (Hear, hear.) He never looked for the birth place or religion Dut looked on the laboring man as all that was requ It was pretty bard work, and subject a great deal of difficulty to effect a unity among the poor laboring men, ommittee had found it for the last four weeks. It b Seid that the committee had been running after land seeking for offices, he asked them if any one of the workingmen had ever k n of either of the commit ee to run after or ask for vitice of any kind? (No, no.) ‘Therefore (continued the speaker), gentlemen, we do not eare whether you call us politicians or not, for a snake if he hhad the meané to do it, would poison 4 man unless resist | @d, 90 it was the duty of them as a committee and body of | men, knowing the wish of these snakes, w re @ixt their poisoning influence. (Applause) ‘Let ua therefore, gentlemen, get together aud go through the whole Union—(hear, bear) —so that the capitalist cannot say any longer, “Th man is out of capital—he @annot resist, or belp militia out and shoot the Applause.) But w x the militia of this Union bout the working men?

Let us go to work and organize ourselves, and be our own police, @nd when we come across «man violating the laws hand hira over ourselves t9 the proper authorities. In this way we can do away with the police and save the $800 a year which they are getting, and which we poor workingmen have pey them out of our hard earnings. (Apple ) We have done ali we can with the Central Park Com misioners, but they refure to heed us. | consider them, every ane, men wiibout principle and without the heart or feelings of a buman being.

(Applaure.) Mr, Majcme—Ob, we know who will be the bose of the shanty. Never fear, there i# no danger. (Applause.) CHARLES SMITH SPRAKB. Mr. Suri, the poet, next took the stand, and spoke etuntially as followe:—As Chairman of the Executive Com mittee, | deny in toto any knowledge of any letter being #eut to the Acacemy of Magic last evening, and I have had the assurance of ail the committee that nove of them knew te keep the pew Why, out Mr Swine —It i suggested that it was sent by the Gor. don committees.

I would not injure a bone in their bod: ton of coal. (Applause.) 1 think ¢he Common Council, who meet again on Friday night, will, however, order the ‘Street Commissioner to go on with the Second avenue work, and I think the Ly oy will at once sign it; but it will then take some time for us to get it through the regu- lar course of law, and by the time we get to work it will be after election, and probably the ground will be cover- ed up with snow, but we must get snow shovelled off 80 we can work then. I say the Mayor will sign it, for 1 consider him the workingman’s friend, and he has always, I think, proved himself so, notwithstanding what may have been aid of him by the press. Icare not whether you vote for him or not, but T want you to understand that you must not allow your- selyes to be sold out to any Know Nothing trickster. Af- ter some further remarks, the speaker adverted’ to the course pursued by several of the daily papers, as hostile to the interests of the workingmen, and proposed three cheers for the Heratp, which was enthusiastically res- ponded to, HOW MR. BEELER BLED ©. G. GUNTHER. Mr. BEELER, one of the committee, then took the platform and proceeded to explain why it was that a report had gained currency that the committee had endorsed Mr. Tiemann. He said, bearing that Mr. Tiemann was a Ger- man, or that his father was, he hada desire to see and Decome acquainted with him, and for that purpose ob: tained an introduction to him'a few evenings since. He told Mr. Tiemann that he wanted to know his principles and what he would do for the workingmen, when he (TNemann) said he would do all he was wanted todo. I was then, said the speaker, introduced to Mr. Gunther, who came in, and he wanted to know how we felt about Mr. Tiemann. I told him it was all right,and that we wanted a meeting to get the workingmen together, for the purpose of organizing them into @ union. Mr. Gun- ther wanted us to do so at once, and then asked me to get them together, and on Tuesday night to bring them to the Academy of Music, where he wanted me to speak to the meeting. I said I would do so. He then asked me if we wanted any money, and ww much we wanted. I said we wanied $40 or $50, if~he would be so kind as to give it tous. He aceordingly gave us an order ona printer for $25 worth of printing, and gave me $25 in cash, which J have divided among the committee, giv- ing them $3 each to buy shoes with. Mr. Surmi—You have not given me any yet, and I won't receive any of it either. Srxaxxr—You will get your share of it, never fear. We have had these bills printed out of the $25 (exhibiting a large poster, in German and English, calling for the meeting then being held), and still have $12 50 cut of the $25 leit, but which{I don’t expect we can get now, any way; but we have done very well, and are content to lose the remainder. After some further remarks, the speaker gave way to Mr. McSvire, who explained that he had not bought any boots with his $3, but had taken it to pay his lager bier bill with, which he had accumulated since acting on the committee, and hoped some one else would come forward and give him $3 more, and then he could pay another bill of the same kind. Voice is tHe Crowp—Yes, and we would not get any of it, though. (Laughter and applause.) ‘Speeches were subsequently made, in German and Eng lish, by Mesers. Gilman, Setlier and Bowles, of the Com mittee, and Messrs. Hebner, Francis, Bradshaw and others of the workingmen, all strongly urging a union, and cach suggesting various plans of organization. Mr. SRILLKK read the following paper in German and Eng- lish, which had been putin his hands by the officers of the 20th Ward Workingmen’s Club : PROOFS OF REPUBLICAN CURRI iN. {Translated from the German.J In presence of the Committee of the Work! en's AsRo- ciation of the Twentieth ward, represented by the follow- ing members:—William Letzeiser, Bet Kroger, De- meke, Marr, Kestler, William Schmidt, Kook, Schonan, Steinert, &c\—a meeting was held on the 22d November, 1857, in which the following complaints and disclosures were made and certified by affidavits: — First—Many workingmen of this and other wards pre- sented themselves, in accordance to memorilas and reso- jutions of different Committees, at the Central park, with the intention of obtaining work, but they were there im- with such infamous conditions that the committee of the Twentieth ward has considered it as a duty to transmit thep articulars to the General Executive Committee in the Bowery 293. ‘Second—These complaints are, that several foremen at the Central park, especially a certain Frederic Lang, an- other Wiegand, and other, have extorted from George Hoff. man the amount of $2, but as Hoffman's wife was to be confined, and having only two dollars in the world, he hoped he would be content with one dollar. Lang took the dollar, and requested Hoffman to treat, which cost him four cente. Third—Some other witnesses appeared before the Com. mittee, giving similar testimony, but requesting the Com- mittee not to publish their names, because they would in consequence thereof lose their situations. Fourth—Frederick Lang introduced himself into seve- ral ward clubs, publicly declaring that he and his friends would watch ail the polls on the election day, and if one of the laborers employed on the park should dare to vote for any other than a republican, he would be dismissed from such employment at once. Sixth—It is ascertained that favoritism is shown by the officers of the Central Park, because they have employed to our knowledge many hands who were scarcely out of work, whilst others, many of whom were in great misery, were without work for weeks and months, but they will not employ them because they will not comply with the political conditions laid down by there Commissioners. A true copy from the original testimonials of the Ward Committee of the Twentieth ward. It was finally resolved to support no man for any office in the gift of the people unless he was known to bea workingman, or ilentified with the workingman’s interest; also to empower the Executive Committee to prepare an address to the workingmen of the United States, on the subject of a Workingman’s Union, to be presented toa meeting to be held on Monday next. The meeting then adjourned. Naval Intelligence. A telegraphic despatch received yesterday states that the reported arrival of the sloop-of-war Saratoga in Hampton Roa4s was a mistake. There has been uo orders as yet received on board the United States steam frigate Niagara, now lying off the Brooklyn Navy Yard, to put her out of commission. It is altogether probable that her crew—with the exception of petty officers and marines—will be gent on board the States receiving ship North Carolina until spring She will in the interval be thoroughly overhauled, her masts taken out, and all the iron work comprised in the main, fore and mizzen rigging, be replaced t substantial hemp material. Her officers. th it, will get leave of absence to visit their friends and homes, and after the expiration of euch time will report for duty on board said ship. ‘The United States steam frigate Roanoke was taken into the dry dook at the Charlestown Navy Yard on Monday night, and the necessary repaire upon her will now be begun It in etated that orders have been received at the Na Yard here to get ready for #ea with all possible despatel the sloop-of-war Marion and the brig Perry.

In the meantime the cabin, state and store roome were completed, the ship rigged and her stores and provisions put on board, and her furniture, curtains, shader and carpets fitted.

THE QUARANTINE COMMISSIONERS AND THE EMIGRA- TION BOARD. ‘The Board of Emigration Commissioners did not meet Yesterday, ® quorum not appearing at the hour of meet- ing. ‘Most of the members have left the city to spend Thanks- giving in the country. Mr. Verplanck has gone to his country seat on the Hudeon; Messrs. Curtis and Morgan are in Connecticut; and as neither of the Mayors of New York or Brooklyn attend the Board, there was conso- quently no quorum. ‘The following is the reply of the Quarantine Commis- sioners to the Board of Emigration, which would have been read had the Board met yesterday :— ‘OFrice COMMISSIONERS FOR REMOVAL OF QUARANTINE, New York, Nov. 23, 1857.

In reply, we herewith send you the key of the tempo- rary Quarantine enclosure, with our tongratulations that ‘wise counsel has prevailed in your Board, and that you have at last determined to comply with Jaw of the yet bere oped it Lag ei duty to take chargo of the Quarantine property prov us, It is proper, moreover. for us at ‘ie on. correct, one or two misay , under which you seem to In the first place, a reference to the communication from the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Comptroller —acopy of which we sent yeu—will show that those offi- cers, in place of ‘not disapproving,” fully approve of our action in ing a “temporary quarantine.” Whatever estimate you may put upon their,endorsement—which, from your flippant criticism of their acts, would seem to ‘be a light onc—we confers to a sense of gratification thereat, as well from their high social standing as men of inteHigence and character, as from the official seal of their approbation. We must be pardoned for excepting to the taste which could dictate the following sentence in your note:— “The Governor, Lieutenant Governorfand Comptroller, although authorized by the Quarantine act only to approve of the expenses, have qualifiedly ved of the build- ings, and by implication jed this commission to assume the care of them.’” This —. ae Lond Governor, egg Gover- nor and Comptroller with ex ir powers.

You speak of acceding to our request that you will as- sume the charge of the temporary Quarantine in the tone of one conferring a favor. We are unfortunate in thus having an act of generosity in us construed into its oppo- site. We have made no request of you, but endeavored to make the intimation that we should be compelled to en- force a compliance with your duties (unless willingly ren- dered) as palatable as the circumstances would admit. ‘The request alluded to was a notification that we should no eager continue to do = duty. ‘The hopeful spirit in which you look forward toa reim- bursement of the outlay for the protection of the tempo- rary quarantine buildings is certainly worthy of commen- dation, but we fear will scarcely find color of warrant in law; indeed, we perceive, by your own admission, that you have uo authority whatever to take charge of the premises in question, except for the legitimate purposes of your commission, which precludes all hope of payment from any other than your lawful fund, as well as detracts somewhat from the extreme generosity of your offer to assist the State of New York in this emergency. The fol- low! ing ‘are your words:— “all of which will be required during the approaching inclement season, as its severity will be by aggravated port the emigrants from whom it has been collected, and to whose use it has been sacredly pledged by the State.”? In conclusion, it is alike gratifying to us, as we pre- sume it must be to you, to find your Board and the Health Officer (between whom intimate business relations neces- sarily exist) acting in concert, he having long since acquiesced in our course, to the extent of his power, by adopting the anchorage designated by us and lying allja cent tothe temporary quarantine, GnoRce ‘ALL, a Ri NSON, P.

The prisoner was placed under the charge of Dr. Covil, of the City prison. The ball from the officer's pistol is supposed to have lodged in the throat of the prisoner. All attempts to find , however, have proved fruitiess. It is now pretty well understood that Seymour had accomplices with him, but in what way they succeeded in making their escape is at present a mystery. It is supposed that the burglars entered the store for the purpose of carrying off a quantity of silks, (as they bad provided themselves with large sacks capable of coutain- ing from ten to fifteen thousand dollars worth of such pro- perty,) but had subsequently changed their minds, and paid their respects to a case of valuable watches, About twelve thousand dollars worth of the Inst named articles had been taken from the case. ‘The greater part of the property was found upon the person of the accused; the remainder was found conceal- ed in the marbie yard adjoiming the bonded warchouse, where it had no doubt been secreted by some of the pri. | soner’s confederates. Seymour is very sullen and will | not give any information whatever relative to the where. abouts of his accomplices. He is only 19 years of age, i Yet he is represented by the police te be a hardened criminal and an expert burglar.

JAMES G. BIRNEY. ‘The demise of this gentleman, which had been for some time expected, took place on Tuesday evening last, at hie Tenidence at Eagleswood, near Perth Amboy, N. J. Mr. Birney was born in 1798 at Danville, Ky. His father ‘was a native of Ireland, who acquired in this country & handsome competence by his own talents and industry. His mother was an American lady, of the name of Reed, celebrated for her beauty and accomplishments. Mr. Birney, after passing through his collegiate studies with distinguished success, entered the law office of Mr. Dallas, iu Philadelphia. In 1814 he commenced the praetice of Jaw in his native State, and when only twenty-two was elected a momber of the Legislature. He then married, and shortly after emigrated to Alabama, where he became a planter and the owner of slaves. He was soon chosen a member of the Alabama Legislature, where his talents and eloquence gained him great popularity. He soon, however, got tired of Alabama, and returned fo his native State. He there began to give practical effect to the strong anti-slavery sen- timents which had early taken hold of him, To oa oc his views he entered warmly into the Proposed starting an anti-slavery newspaper in Kentucky, but not finding a printer bold enough to under- take the mechanical arrangements he commenced the pine Be On the death of his father Mr. Birne; patel . ring soon after, he paid a visit to England in 1840 and took a ‘inent in the aanti-slavery agitation the following year he married a sister-in-law of the Hon, Gerritt Smith, a lady of the Fitzhugh family. In ‘1844 Mr. Birney was brought forward as a candidate for the Presidency by the “Liberty Party.’ Owing to the celebrated Raleigh leter of Mr. Clay against the annexa: tion cf Texas the sentiments of which the distinguished writer juently disavowed, Mr. Birney many of the votes which ‘would have been recorded for the former but for that letter. The 62,263 votes polled for Mr. Birney could have given Mr. Clay aclear majority over Mr. Polk of 23,471. Although Mr. Clay could not have secured the whole of those, it is uestionable that the Northern votes which he \vevdnagy Raleigh letter would have gained bim his election. r this contest Mr. Birney retired almost entirely from public life. The state of his health for the last twelve years has unfitted him for any exciting occu . Frequent attacks of paralysis combined with heart disease left him latterly a complete wreck. He has nevertheless continued to take a warm interest in the political intang ee of the day, and during the last Presidential canvass he recorded his vote for Fre- mont. Itis only within the last few years that he took up his residence in Eagleswood, New Jersey, where he peaceably breathred his last, surrounded by his family and friends, who were all warmly devoted to him. His mental faculties continued unimpaired to the moment of his death. The funeral will take place on Friday at 11 o'clock. COMMODORE FOXHALL A. PARKER, U. 8. Ne ‘This distinguished officer, whose death took place at Philadelphia on the 23d inst., entered the service in 1808. ‘He was a native of Virginia, and was appointed from that State. He had been nearly twenty-one years at sea, had been employed on shore duty about twelve years, and bad been fifteen years unemployed—making a total of nearly half a century since he entered the service. He had not been at sea since June, 1852, and had been placed on the furlough list. RICHARD RELF, OF NEW ORLRANS. Rucuarp Rey, late Cashier of the Louisiana State Bank, died in New Orleans on the 22d of October. He was eighty-two years old, and had resided in New Orleans for the space of sixty-six years, enjoying the respect of the most exemplary of its inhabitants. He was a native of Philadelphia. Inthe firm of Chew & Relf he was exten- sively engaged in mercantile pursuits in New Orleans after ‘the war with England of 1812-15, whgn that house failed, in consequence of the then general revulsion in trade. Mr. Relf was one of the executors of the will of the late Danie) Clark, celebrated in the protracted suit of Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, and in consequence has enjoyed a posthumous reputation which it would appear he did not desire during is life. Mr. Relf was absent from the State of Louisiana only once during a period of thirty-nine years. City Intelligence.

There are of course Many married women confined for erime, but their hus bands invariably desert them in their trouble. On the other hand, a large majority of the married male prison ers are visited constantly, and condoled with by their | sorrowing wives. And yet how many of these poor wo men have suffered harshness and brutality at the apis of their orimipal busbands, A walk of five miles from the thriving town of Cal- houn, Iowa, brought me to the county seat of Harrison county, a pleasantly situated and prosperous town of about three years’ growth, containing some three stores, two hotels, one printing office, &c., &c., surrounded by mills and well tilled farms. The county of Harrison is amply 80, for all and every county expense and improve- ment. Harrison county may be considered a rich county. All around here I have finest farms anywhere in Western lowa. The this season are very large, and the farmers Ne generally no more feel the effect of hard times they had no existence. Wisconsin and Ohio money principal money in use. The new constitution of Iowa, now in effect here, is quite a change for the better. Of course there are many unpalatable features in it; yet the people generally are satisfied. The coming session of the lowa Legislature will be an important one to the State—far more so than for years previous. ‘Winter has come upon us, and whilst I write the snow lies about two or three inches on the level. The Territory of Arizona. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HEBALD. In your editorial of the 23d instant, in reference to the supposed exodus of the Mormons next spring, and their occupation of Sonora, an unintentional injustice is done to the character of the country south of Utah, and which will probably be organized at the approaching session of Con- gress into the Territory of Arizona. ‘The general impression which has heretofore prevailed that this immense region is a worthless and barren coun- try, ig entirely erroneous; and of this statement ample proof, from official sources, will be laid before the House and Senate committees. The universal testimony of tra- vellers, of officers of the army, and of the Boundary Com- missioners, establishes the fact that more than half of the Gadsden purchase is the tinest grazing country in the world; while the rapid settlement, within a short time, of the central valleys of Arizona, and the aboundant crops of the past Beason, are an earnest of their fertility and future promise. Arizona is traversed in @ nearly north and south direction by several large and emveedingly rich val- leys, well watered and timbered, which will before long supporta large begeltine, The reports of Col. Bonne- ville, who has lately explored the country north of the Gila river, speaks in glowing terms of the northern branches of this river, and their capacity for sustaining a large agricultural population. ‘Of the mineral wealth, especially, and silver of the Ter- ritory, itis scarcely necessary to speak, but an intimate acquaintance with the history of Arizona under the Spanish rule, with two years personal observation, has convinced ‘me that the organization of the Territory , and the develope- ment of its mines, will effect as great a change in the commerce of the world as has the gold of California. ‘The necessity of affording protection to our people who have settled upon this remote frontier is a sufficient argu- ment in favor of the Territorial organization, independent of the necessity for the establishment of a safe post route overland to the Pacific. This last argument is dwelt on atiength in the San Francisco Herald of October 20th, and the proposed Territorial organization urged as the only means by which asecure overland mail route can be established. At the opening of Congress bills will be introduced pro- viding @ government for the Territory to which your edi- torial refers; and it is believed, upon good authority, that these bills will have the decided approbation and official recommendation of the President in his message to Con- gress. Believing that the Frat has its columns always open to the truth, I trust that you will give this letter the benetit of its wide spread circulation. SYLVESTER MAURY, Lieut. U. 8. A. Nov. 28, 1857.

[fren Ta Croniea (Spanish paper) Nov. 20. ‘The Madrid press exhorts the government to follow an energetic course in the Mexican question, The several journals—La Espana, El Clamor, , and othere—are truly cutting in treating this subject. La Epoca sayn that the President of the Council had studied and considered iteven before the formation of the new Cabinet. The Espana, in speaking of the Diario 5 which had commented upon the subject, says:— Never so much as now has our colleague seemed to us xo indul- gent ana bland toward the disorganized republic of Mexi- co. It still, as we believe, wishes to deceive itself with the belief that onr differences with that unfortunate coun- try—whieh it truly is, for it is without government—may be arranged through & pacific transaction; but which seems: to us extremely doubtful.
