These were criginally worked more than @ century sgo by the Jesuit Fathers, bat were abandoned aud partially fied up to conceal them, They were discovered, however, and ‘opened on the 10th of Oc'ober last. The ore is said to ba very rich, yielding #100 worth of silver to tho ton, be: ides considerable lead. A company has been organized to work these mines, the shareholiers being for the mos} part sew York capitalisis. The company is known as the “Now York aud Compadre Silver Mining Company.” Colonel Titus is the aciing agent, and will return imme- diately to Arizona with practical miners, smeltiog ma ehines, and everything necessary for the operations, The mince lie in the range of the Savta Crus and Santa Rita movntaing, The prospects of gold in Arizona are small; but there is plenty of copper, which will be valuable ‘when the menos of transportion are better; now the cost of traneporting it to a market renders it uuprofitable. When the silver mines are efficiently worked it is calou inted by the parties interested that millions of dollars in silver, which is now becoming scarce, will fad ite way into the United States. Emigration is rapidly pouring into the Territory from Texas, Arkansar, Obio and Missouri, ‘he white popula’ tion now numbers abont 1,200; but there are from three te five thoveand Mexicans. The best route for tho skipment of goods to that quarter from the ‘Kuss is to Matagorda Say, Texas, and thence through Ei Pago. Passengers, we learp, will find the best route to be by St, Louis, and \benee overland by & due patural road, which is said to be very easy of access. The trip from 4. Louis can be made in about twenty days. There are several old towns scattered through the country, built by the Indiang, but now partially aban- doned, the principal on ng Tuceon, Mesilla and Tu- ‘bac. There are still remaining, and in good preservation, ome very fine epecimens of ecclesiastical architecture, in some of the churches the piclures and frescoes being in a remarkably good condition, Arizopa covers a distance ef about five hundred miles, by a Dundred and iifty, of what is known as the Gadeden purcbase, In an agricul. tural point of view the country is uot very promising, mm consequence of the great eearcity of water in many large tyacis oft. Rut where water is to be had Abe soil is re) nied sg rich and productive, producing wheat, sugar, cotion, with vegetables and fruils in abun- @ance. Tbe peacbes and grapes are said to be as Ge as those raised in California, The climate is dry, and the Semperature cven. ‘There is at the present time no aw existing in Arizona are there any federa) officers there. It will be neces- sary, Coubtless, for the goverument to establish gome form of courts, and algoto send troops there for the pro- tection of our citizens. Much trouble has been expe- rienced in Sonora from the depredatioas, not of Indiaas, as supposed, but of Mexican desperadoes, who pluader and wesault the emigrants. ‘An cflort is being made by the mining companies te get Guaymas, in Sonora, made a port of entry. At | present everything imported comes overland from | the United States at an immense expense. There are now | organized, or in process of organization, as many as four | ailver mining companies, namely—the New York and | Compadre, the Sonora Company, the Patagonian Compa. ny, and the Santa Rita, or Rhote Island Company, of | which Lieutenant Mowry is the agent. So that when they | all get well to work, if the reports be true, we shal! | probsbly have plenty of silver pouring in upon us. Independent of the mining companies, there are alao being organized by private individuals, xevera! emigration | ‘or colonization companies, among others by General Hen- | Bingsen, Colonel Titus, Colonel Lockridge and cx- Alderman Wilson, of this city. The latter gen- fleman, who contemplates taking some two or three hundred men to Arizona, has had the pre- caution to ask the goveroment whether they would be | permitted to cross the frontiers of Texas with arms in their bands for their own protection, and we fear tho reply of the Secretary of War on that point will serve some- what to dampen the ardor of many intending emigrants. ‘The following ia Governor Floyd's communication :— War Derarrxeyt, May 11, 1869.

DFMOCRATICO STATE CONVENTION OF TEXAS. ‘Thie body asrembled in the city of Houston on the 2d inst, and continued in session four days, Hardin K. Runnels, the present executive, was nominated for Gey- ernor,and F. R. Lubbock for Lieutenant Governor. A platform was adopted which simply reasserted te old principles of the party, with the following additions:— Resolved, That the democracy of Texas recognise in the Supreme Court of the United tes, in the Dred Scott case, a true and just expoeition of the conatitational powers and duties of the federal government ia the Ter- rivories and the limitations thereupon, and that nothin, Jees than the aniform execution of those powers an duties, aud the continued observance of the limitations thereupon, can do justice to all of the States and preserve tbeir equality. Resolved, That we deny the possibility of the existence of the power in the Legislature of any Territory, whilst the constitution prevails, by unfriendly legislation or otherwise, to defeat the rights of property im slaves, or practically refuse adequate protection thereto. Resolved, That no more States ought to be admitted in- to the Union until it hae been duly ascertained, by jawfal course, Uhat 116 Territory contains the aumber of inhadi- tacts requisite for one representative upon the foderal basis of reprerentation, Resolved, That the democracy of Texas are in favor of the acquisition of Cuba, and that we regard its consamma- tion a8 a mensure which self: protection imperatively de- mands, and should be procured at the earliest possible time compatibie with our national honor. A very animated discussion took place on the 34, on the eubject of the slave trade, which was elicited by the presentation of the following preamb?e and résolution :-— In view of the fact that the question as to the constitu tionality of the Jederai iswa probibimug the introduction of African slaves ito tais country, was brooght before the lant Legis abure for its action, and ia view of the fact dat it is the duty of the democracy to gnard ith joulous care tbe compecte of she constitution, in resissaace to auy in- izaction of the law ; be 18, therefore, Resolved, That we approve ihe action of the legisiative commistee this subject, and recommend to the de- mocracy of the State a full and fair discussion of the said question, with a view to spcedy action thereupon. Colonel Crau10N followed the resolution in a speech of some length, advocating it. fe said that it embodied the gentiment of the party, and thought the Convention ought to bave the manliness to Bay 20. It was proposed ia the Commitiee on Fiatform, and out of the seventeen who were on that committee, fifteen were found in favor of the proposition, though it was bot suflicientiy before the peo- ple to be made an iseue. Ho referred to the contest ia Fastern Texas, and said that the true democracy there must be susta'‘ned. He dissected Judge Reagan’s circular, end read froma speech of bis, delivered in August last, sentiments upon the slave trade which were altogether of an opposite complexion to those presented in hia circn- lar. He eaid that while Judge R. was breathing the pare air of Texas and was fresh from the people, he was round snd reliable, but now his breath had been poisoned by e corruptions of the Capitol, and having spent another winter there, be bad come back with a greater love for the Union than for the people that sent him there. Mr. Chilton’s speech was characterised by great earnestneas, and wag received with great approbation. Capt. C ©. Hexerr, of Colorado, followed in a brief speech, Te wok the ground that the law prohibiting the | slave trade is conetitutional, though he was in favor of that trade being reopened if it coukd be done. Qui. A. P. Witey, of Walker, epoke iu favor of the pro- position, giving clear and well considered exposition of the doctrine of strict construction, and a history of its progress from 1789, He showed that all the errors into which our government hag ever fallen have been by for getting this great priocipie. He held that the constitution Tust be strictly construed, or the govornmant was nt worth preserving. Col. Wiley evidently understood bis subject, and spoke much to the point. Buus Waiter, Usq., of Fort Bend, asserted in a short but vigorova epevch the importange’of the reopening of the African slave trade, and of the democracy inserting the proposition in their platform. He said, whether con- stitutional or not, we must have more slavee, and we ought to encourage the trade by all means in oar power. Dr. WP. Krrvngit, of Walker, took the floor. He asked, id, for information, what was the opiaion of Matizon the evbject under consideration, remarking that it was customary in all doubts of this kind to look back to what was thoagbt by the fathers of the democracy, He |, Tequested some gentlemen to answer. Mr. Wigy replied, gi added that he consider g the views of Mr. Madison, and himself no more bound by Mr. ed to ecrutivize armed parties passing through the State | Madison's than by the opinions ef any other man. Professedly as emigrants, and, whenever satisied that they are cryanized for euy uvlawful objecta, to operate beyond the I'mits of Texas, the parties will be arrested Dr. Kirravut. then went on wgay that all tbe resol tions against the African siave trade in Congress in early days were introduced and supported by Southern men, and their commanders turned over to the civil authorities. | andhe thought they ought to be looked upon with that By order of Brevet Major General Twiggs.

The Coagress had no businere to interfere with it. Mr. Cone was loudly called for, and took the stand. 112 deprecsted this discussion. It was a firebrand, which ought not to have been thrown into the Convention. The object of the Convention was harmony. It was not time to make the issue. He stood upon the constitution, and while a citizen of the United States would stand by it; but when the time arrived for the introduction of African slaves, when our necessities should require it, he should be toremogt in the demand, and if that should lead toa diszolution of the Union, he was still there, eyen to the bitter end.

Inc«tyson’s CHances.—The bard democrats of this State have their ideas concentrated upon Hon. Daniel 8. Dickin- son as the next democratic candidate for President. It is with this view that they are battling for the district sys- tem of choosing delegates for the Charleston Oonven- tion. In the State Convention the softs will unquestiona- bly bave a large majority; and if the duty of electing the whole body of deiegates shall devolve upon them, Dickin- f0n will be deprived of the vote of New York in making anomination for President; but if the diatrict system should be adopted, considerable influence, at least, will go toCharicston in his favor, The Albany Standard has the reputation of being the leading hard) organ of the State, and here is what it says about Dickinson’s chances: As goes New York in 1860 so will go the Union. Her voice will decide who shall be President from March 4, 1861, to March 4, 1865. To elect a democrat to the Presi: dency in 1860 we ranet pu in nomication ® man who can secure the requisite Lumber of electoral votes. That man is Danie! 8. Dickson. Mr. Dickinsoa can carry every Southern State. In addition to this he can carry New York over Seward, and he ig the only man w30 can dq this, By carrying all the Southern States aad New York added, Mr. Dickinson becomes the next Presideat. The whole question of success or defeat rests upon the frieads of Horatio Seymour, If they will endorse the nomination of Daniol S Dickinson the democratic party can elect the next Preeident. If they repudiate Mr. Dickiason, they take up a porition which reduces it to a mathematical cer- tainty that Wm. H. Seward wiil be the euscessor of James Buchapan. Tux May HE AMERICANS ARE CALLED UPON TO SurPoRT.— The Bufla'o Sentinel, an Iriah Catholic paper, eays:—“To Hon. W. H. Seward, of New York, and Hon, Mr, Wige, of Virgivia, is mostly due the credit of breaking the back- bone of Know Noibingism in ‘his Union.’’ And now the republicans are calling loudly upon the few remaining dark lapternists to join them and aid in securing the elec- tion of aman to the Presidency to whom the credit is awarded of breaking the backbone of their party. Will they ¢o it? A Prosrecuive Virw.—The Huntsyiile (Texas) Mem, in an article on the slave trede, makes the suppoaition that the Southerm States bave already formed a separate re- public and are going it alone; they have legalized the siave trade, and have sent their ships to the coust of Africa for loads of Congos; on their return they aro cap- tured by war veesels aud taken to the Northern repaylic, to England or to Frange, where their captaius aud crews aze Lung for piracy. Of course, thea, war must be the which wonld bes war with all the rest of the d world, because no civil nation, with “the ex- of this Southern republic, would gauction the Afican slave trade. Where, then, would be the fire- eaters? ‘Tree Democracy.—TRe followieg resolution is o2e of a ferke hich weve adop cd by the Democratic Convention, of Butler county, Obiv, on the 2let ingtant:— Resolved, That we have no more respect for the pro slavery (anatics of the b, who claraor for a Congres- sional #lave code, and attempt to nutify the laws for the suppression Of tle African slave trade, than we have for thelr co fenatics of the North, who insist upon the Wilmot proviso and trample upon the fagitive slave law.

Tne stock opeued at 7334 —an advance of 14 over yeeterday’s closing price —ad- vanced to 74, sold at 7374 in the afternesa, and closed at 78% bid.

Roc’ Ielaud was sharply assailed this mornicg, but did not giva way; it is understood that the party which has been buying the stock has ceased to co so for the present, leaving it to stand or fall on its merits, The earuings for May thus far appcar to indicate a loss on tbe month, a8 compared with last year, less than $10,C00, Galena was higher to day; the road is paid to be doing Detter, though still far behind last year.

We should certainly say not. At the best, our trade with Austria, and even wish Italy, though considerable as & whole, is not euch as is likely, by any probable diminution whist it wil suffer, sensibly to affect our entire trade, The chief increase which bas recently taken place in our export trade has been to the United States, to British India, to our colenies, and to Northern Euroye. None of those markets will ve affected by the war in Piedmont and Lom- bardy, On this ground, therefore, we may reasonably expect a continued increased demand for capital, and a tendency for a higher rato of interest to be maivtained, Again, it 18 plain, from the shattered state of the Indian finances, that raore assistance, and that to no small extent, mut be obtained from this side. ‘The apparent absence of apy real, decisive and effective means of meeting tho kuown deficiency in the Indian treasury is one of the most unsatisfactory features in the future of the money market. Further remittances of silver must be made; and furthor inroads upon the builion of the bank, in order to obtain that silver, will be required, Again: In some way or other, but probably not to any serious amount, our own exchequer will require aid.
