Clever, delegate in Congress from New Mexico, has just is sued un interesting pamphlet of forty seven pages on the resources of New Mexico “her necessities for railroad communication will) the Atlantic anti Pacific States— hep great future,” which wifi add materially to the very limilt'd slock of knowledge yet possessed hy the world at hifge respecting that extraordi nary territory. It is now a little more than twenty years since our Government acquired fiosaession of New Mexico ; yet limit 18d7 we knew very little about it. We thought of it us a region of arid plains and imrren mountains; cut off from the civilized world on all sides; inhabited hy a few mexicunsof the lowest grade, and over run hy predatory savages. We thought of it us a portion of our national domain of no present and hut little prospective value—a sort of Zahara stretching hi 'tween the good part of our territory on the other side—an impediment to nation al progress rather than a spin*—a posses sion something like the rough and sterile lands of Pennsylvania, of which it Is a common expression to say that ’‘the more a man has of them the poorer lie Is.” Never was there a greater mistake, In climate New Mexico is probably not sur passed hy any other portion of the globe. About latitude SO deg. the great Uocky Mountain system begins to break down into an extensive plateau, buying an alti tude of from four to seven thousand leet above the sea level. The 'atmosphere is exceedingly pure and clear. Some snow falls in U.c winter season, but it rarely lies more than, a day or two. The sum mers, owing to tne great altitude, are never oppressively hot. Much less ruin fulls than Sn the States east of the Mis sissippi; yet the entire country, moun tains, valleys, and even the forests, are well covered with grass, making it one of the best pastoral regions in the world. The timber consists of pine, spruce, ced..r, tir, and other kindred trees. These are found on the mountains. The mesas or foot hills are covered with pinon {pro nounced pini/on,) a valuable timber, often intermixed with cedar. On the streams the natural growth is principally made up of cotton woods, sycamores, hack ht-rry, willow, &«•., with some walnut and oak. The higher lands, including the moun tains, nflbrd excellent pasture. The val leys of the i*i vers ami lesser streams can all lie successfully cultivated, hut mainly by tlie help of irrigation. Irrigation is effected hy leading the water of a stream on u level along the higher part of tin* valleys or bottom lands, very much as it is curried in a race with *us to a mil) wheel, and is let olf at proper intervals, to be led by plough furrowa over the ad-, jacent fields. These ditches, or little ca nals, are called acaqnias in the vernacu lar of the country. Sometimes u lamer will have one for" Ills own exclusive use ; at other limes the whole people of a dis trict will unite and construct a “ aoAr//,’.’ us they call It, several miles in length*! and appoint a water master to deal the water out fairly to the several stockhold ers. “It is true (says Mr. Clever) it costs some labor to make these ditches, but then the farmer is sure of a crop; and the running over his land of water high ly charged with detritus, made up of decay ed vegetation and rich mould from the mountains above, is u source of fertility. Xu this way the land never wears out,— irrigation thus becomes a fertilizer.” He continues: “The Agricultural inter ests of New Mexico have heretofore been confined to the raising of wheat, corn, beans, oats and barley. In some locali ties in the North potatoes grow well, but along the valleys they cannot be success fully cultivated.” Agriculture among the New Mexicans Is still prosecuted in the most primitive fashion. The plough is little better than a crooked stick, with which they can only scratch the surface of ihe soil, yet their crops average more per acre than ours; and having the needful water per fectly at command, their crops are sure. They suffer neither from wet weather nor drought. In some valleys irrigation can be dispensed with ; and it Is believed that when deep ploughing shall he insti tuted, the necessity for artificial watering will be greatly abated. In u country ho full of mountain peaks and ranges, valleys ami streams are very numerous, and many of the •• bottoms’* are quite extensive. That of the Hlo Grande is from two to ten miles in width for u distance of more than a hundred miles within ttie boundriea of New Mexi co. That of the Pecos is little if any less. Both are among the best vine growing regions in the world. Mr, Clever re marks : “ The variety of the grape which is most cultivated in New Mexico cannot he surpassed for ilavor by any grape in the world. Tile wine made from ii sur passes the beat Burgundy. It requires but little labor to cultivate the vine, as no trellises are used. 11 The same is true of the vines of Southern California, in fact the two count! les, in soil andclimatb, are very similar. Grape culture and the manufacture of wine of the finest quality will soon become a business of enormous magnitude in New Mexico, Arizona and California, a continuous region stretching at least a thousand miles along the tine of the Union Pacific Kailway, Eastern Division—a distance equal to that be tween Philadelphia and dt. Louis. But, after all, the great wealth of that territory is in its mines of the useful and the precious metals, and in its exhausl less coal mines. Our space will not per mit us to go into details ; sulllce it to say that the numberof ledges of gold bearing quartz which may be profitably worked are some thousamlsiu number, while new discoveries are constantly being made.— The'uilvcr mines are but littiu less nu merous, in many of which the metal is found in combination with lead. Copper ores of various kinds, are yielding about iliesame percentage as the iron ores of Pennsylvania, abound in lodes I'miii two to ten feet thick in many localities; and iron fire, strongly resembling that of the Iron Mountain of Missouri,exis sin mass es practically inexhaustible. Very rich hematite ores are also luund in great abundance. Coal of excellent quality, having a much larger percentage u f fixed carbon than the bituminous coals of Western Pennsylvania, is immensely abundant lor a long distance along the base of the mountains tbissideut the Kiu Grande. The veins are lour to fourteen feet in thickness. Ollier veins are found west of that river; and there is a repoti that a coal vein fifty feet in thickness has been luund on the San Juan river, a tributary of the Colorado. Anthracite coal, iu u vein of about five feet in thick ness, exists near tne line of the railway, a lew miles southwest of Santa Fe, but its extent lias not been ascertained. There is enough ol mineral Wealth in New Mexico to give profitable employ ment to millions of men; but there it must lie until a railroad can be construc ted to it. There is not a mile uf naviga ble water iu the territory, nor within hundreds of miles ol it; and to expect that such acountry cun ever be developed sous to yield up its boundless treasures to the use ul' umn, while the only con nection between'it and the rest of the world is the slow-moving ox-truin, re quiring three months to make the trip iroin the Kansas to .the Kio Grande, simply preposterous. Theatrical.— A young Thespian was once instructed to deliver the lullowjng message to JLuid .Randolph in the play : “JNiy Lord, the banquet waits.” Bui having lost the run of ihesciitence, he culled out amidst the roars of the au dio ce: “ Mr. Randolph, your supper has been ready for some Lime I'' Kissing,— “ Men scorn to kiss amOng themselves. Auu scarce would kiss u brother j Bui women waul to kiss so badly They kiss mid kiss each other.” A LADY REPLIES: “ Mon do not kiss aiming themselves, It’s well they refrain The bitter dose would vex them so They ne’er would kiss ttgahn” Nodical A IH .VDKKP VEiIWAGO, Where, where are all the birds that snug A hundred years ngo?

'Mtaftllattgotts* I’AIUII K lIIIMIY. BY JAMKS I’AUTON It is common to speak of Patrick Hen ry as a person unlike any other who ever, existed, as though the gift of oratory was something exceedingly rare It Is rare Indeed to possess it in such a degree; but I am inclined to think that America has produced many men resembling Pat rick Henry in everything hut the f/rcat ncfflof his talent. Aiming 'he religious sects which empioy and encourage their members to exercise whatever gifts for public exhortation they may possess, we Irequemly find unlettered men who have an astonishing (low of language and not un frequently, a command of imagery that strikes the hearer with amazement. Patrick Henry was merely the greatest of our natural orators. He Wits bom in Virginia, in the year 173 U. His lather was a who emigrated to Virginia in early life, and exercised iu the colony the joint occupa tions of planter, schoolmaster, and sur veyor. Neither he, nor his wife, nor any other of their nine children exhibited any particular talent lor oratory, com position or conversation. Nevertheless, such a talent had existed in the family. A hrothei of Patrick Henry's mother wis a line natural orator, although unknown out of ids native country. It is said of tliis gentleman that, during the French war, after Braddock’s defeat, .when the militia were culled outlodefend the fron tiers, he addressed them will) an elo quence never equalled in Virginia except hy lil3*niustri*ms nephew. The father ol Patrick Henry, on the contrary, was a plain, solid kind of a man, not fluent in speech nor gifted with imagination. There is another common error with reward to this orator. He is supposed to have owed all his celebrity ami success to a natural gil't, and to have been in no de gree indebted to education, [t is true that he was an idle boy and a cureless young man. The father, when Patrick was ten years of age, opened a school in his own house, in which the boy acquir ed a little Lulln, learned the Greek alpha bet, and made some proficiency 'n arith metic and geometry. It is said, how ever, that lie was too fond of hunting and fishing to avail himself of the advantages which his father's school afibrdt-d.— When the bell rang for school In the morning, he was rarely to be found. He was away in the woods with his gun, or on the hanks of u stream with his fishing rod; and in these sports lie would spend weeks at a time, unchecked by his fath er’s authority. He appeared to love idle ness for its own sake. His school-fellows frequently observed him under the shade of a tree, watching the cork of his fishing rod for hours without getting a bite, and yet without tiring of the monotony. Ho liked (o be alone in ins snorts, though fond of society at other times. We are told, however, that in the midst of ids young companions he often satsilent, ap pearing to be occupied only with his own thoughts, while, in reality, he was pay ing close attention and reflecting deeply on the character of the speakers. His early friends could not recollect that he had ever given the least sign ut talent in Ids south or early manhood.— They remembered him as having been coarse in Ids appearance, awkward in Ids manners, slovenly in his dress, plain in his conversation, haling study, and wholly given up to idleness and pleasure. At the same time, they concurred in re porting th it he was a constant and deep stmienlof human nature. Ho habitually redacted upon the motives which govern mankind in general, as well a-* upon those wldch.governed each individual of Ids ac quaintance. When lie was fifteen years of ago, his father, burdened with the support of a large family, placed this wayward and unpromising son as a clerk in a country store, and u yearufier, set him up in busi ness with a small stuck of goods, associ ating with him‘one of his elder brothers. This elder brother, it appears, was more idle than Patrick, ami threw the whole burden of the business upon the junior partner. The drudgery of the store soon became intolerable to him, and as ho treated every one who asked credit, a single year sulliced to bring the broth ers to bankruptcy. It appears, however, that the future statesman did not wholly waste his lime during this year of slorekeeping. ile learned to play on the llute ami violin.— Ho acquired, tort, a relish for reading.— But his chief employment was still the study of bman character. Whenever a company of his neighbors met in the store on Saturdays—a day lonnerly con secrated to loafing” in the .South- he de lighted to set them talking, and then to stand by quietly noting the character and manner of each individual. It is said that sometimes he would relate an anecdote, drawn from his reading or from his imagination ; and, while exciting-in the minds of his listeners pity, terror, anger,, or contempt, he would watch the dlllerent modes In which each man ex pressed these passions. Tins was an ex cellent preparation for the career before him, but it did not conduce to the pros perity of u country store ; and thus, ns I have said, it came to uu end in twelve months. At eighteen, without possessing a dol lar, or an acre, he committed the astoun ding imprudence of marrying a girl us pour as himself. But it was easy to live m Virginia a hundred years ago. The parents of the imprudent pair gave them a small farm,iaid lent them one or tsvo slaves, and the future orator proceeded to extract his living trom the soil. He was a farmer for two years, and, at the end of that lime, being totally unsuccessful and completely discouraged, ho sold his farm and again set up u store; resuming, also, liis fiddle, his lime, his books, and I is study of human kind. So careless was he of his business, that,.many a time, he shut up ids store uudspentUie whole day in hunting. Mr. Wirt, his biographer, tells ua, how ever, that, from year to year, his mind appeared to make a steady advance; which was shown by the superior char acter of the books lie read. He is said to have studied geography, the histoiy uud •.•barters of Virginia, but, especially, the history and literature of Greece and Rpme. A translation of the Homan his torian, Livy, was the work which had most to do with the formation of his mind and the coloring of his oratory. His second attempt to keep a store did nut result in immediate failure ; ids ruin, this time, was more gradual aud .more complete. After five years his property was gone, and lout for Ins wife ami cldi • Iron neither home nor means of Mipport. He then went to live with his wife's fath er, who kept a tavern, and assisted him in entertaining ids guests. No mao could perform such an office more agree ably. Mr. Jefferson, who happened to meet him nt lids period of Ids life, records that his spirits were In no degree affec ted hy Ids misfortunes. “ During the festivity of the Christmas season,” writes Mr. Jefferson, “ I inei him in society every day, and we became well acquainted, although I was much his junior, being then in my seventeenth year, ami he a married man. His man ners had something of coarseness in them ; his passion was music, dancing and pleasantry. He excelled in the last, and it attached every one to him. Mr. Henry had, a little before, broken up his store, or rather it had broken him up; Iml his misfortunes were not to he traced either in his countenance or conduct.” Being thus winiout resources, this singular man smldtefyly resolve*! to enter the profession of. the law. In the pre paratory study lie is said hi have spent six weeks, mid then went to Hichimmd to procure a license to practice. In those days in Virginia a license to practice law had to be signed by three members of the lean! profession, and tins was n<> small difficulty iu tlie case of the present appli cant. More than one lawyer refused his signature, point blank. But others per ceiving that he was a man of talent, ami won hy his promise of future study, sign ed ids license, and launched him upon a new career. At lids lime* it is said, lie was so ignorant of h s profession, Unit he could not draw the most common paper, and was unacquainted with the mode oi heglntdnga suit In a jnstlce'scourt. l-'oi two or three years alter his admission, lie did not earn money enough to supply Ids family with food, and they continued in a stale of dependence. In his twenty-seventh year the talents of tins extraordinary person were reveal ed to his neighbors, suddenly, am) in all ‘heir splendor. In a suit between the clergy and there parishioners, touching the amount of their compensation, then being no other lawyer available at the moment, Patrick Henry was retained, too, on the popular side, with which he warmlysympathized. Hisown fatherwas on the bench near the presiding - judge.— The Court House was crowded. More tlniii twenty clergymen of the church of England, the most learned men in the colony, were present. A large mnnhei of the people, who had been familiar with Patrick Henry from his youth up, at tended from curiosity to hear how such an eccentric genius would comport him self on an occasion so grave and impor tant. • ‘‘ Ho rose very awkwardly,” says Mr. Wirt, “and faltered very much in ids exordium. The people hung their heads also uupromisinga commencement; Hie clergy were observed to exchange sl> looks with each other; and his father i> described as having almost sunk with confusion from Ids scat. Hut those feel ings was of short duration, and soon gave place to oihcis of a different character. ~ Kor now were those wonderlul faculties which he possessed lor the first time de veloped ; and now was first witnessed that .mysterious and almost supernatu ral transformation of appearance which the fire of his own eloquence never failed to work in Idm.. For, as his mind rolled along, and began to glow from its ow.i action, all the outside of the clown seem ed to shed itself spontaneously. His at titude by degrees became erect, and lofty. ‘ he spirit of Ids genius awakened all his features. His counienaiiceshown with u nobleness and grandeur which it had never before exhibited. There was u lightning in his eye which seemed to rive tiie spectators. His action became graceful, bold, and commanding; and in the tones of his voice, more especially in his emphasis, there wasapeculmrcharm, a magic, of which any one who ever heard him will speak us soon us he is mimed, butoi which no one can give any adequate description.” His triumph was complete and won derfu 1. The jury gave him a verdict without deliberation, and the people seized their champion and Carried him out of the court-house on their shoulders while the tears ran down Ids father's cheeks. From tins time to the end of Ids life. Patrick Henry was one of the foremost men of his natne province. After a brilliant career at the bar, be was elect ed to the Legislature, where hia well known speeches, familiar now to every schoolboy, gave Virginia to the Revolu tion. Ho served conspicuously in the first Congress, and was afterwards elect ed Governor of Virginia. To the lust of his iilu be was averse to study, and extravagantly fond of tlu* sports of the field.' He lived lo ilie sixty third year, dying on the (ith of J une 171)9. lie was twice married, and was tin* lath er of fifteen children, six by his first wife and nine by his second. Eleven of his children survived him. and one of them was living a very few years ago, and may be living still. Owing to some fortunate purchase* of land, he left a largo estate to be dividedamong his children'. At all periods of his life he was a perfectly tem perate and moral man; and in Ins mode of living, a-- Well as in his manners and appearance, there was always much ol the rustic.. In public, us well as in pii vate, he exhibited all the politeness ol the Old Dom’nlon, and was observed in his public addresses always lo speak of bis opponents with the most marked re spect. One of his worst faults, it is said, was an excessive Jove of money, which grew upon him in liisoid age, and tempt ed him to borne modes of acquisition which were strictly legal but not strictly honorable.

M ** Steady !” and by thus al tering our course we brought the ieeheru right ahead. The iceberg had been in sight since tin weather cleared at midnight, when It (ooked like sonic high rocky headland except that, by watching the bright staif behind it, we could see Its gigantic out line swaying solemnly ami majestically up and down. There was something sub limely grand in the slow stately move ment of Much u mass. There It Moated large enough, had it been land to liavi been the dwelling place of hundreds ol human beings. The. lower part was o so dark a purple as to loou almost black ; but, higher up, it shaded oil' to a bright azure, then to a litht pale green, whlh on hs lolty summit were long slendei < spires ami pinnacles, ami pieces of thit transparent ice, worked into all manner of fantastic forma, ami either of a crystal whiteness, or tinted with a beautiful paU pink. There were bays ami promontor ies, caves ami g olios, hills ami dells, with every variety of light and shade.- The island was almost equally divided b\ a great valley running through ii« cen tre. This was half filled with snow, which, thawing slowly in the sun, form ed the source «l a waterfall, at a height ho great that it was blown and scalteml into tine rain la-fore It reached the sea.— Around its Imse—on which the j-ca w:«> breaking with a noise less booming and more musical than when it dashes on do solid allure, was a broad band of fio-zen spray, which glittering in the sunshine, looked like the silver selling of an enor moils sapphire. Not lar irum the top, and on the side nearest lo us, was a vast, smooth, glassy plane, inclining steeply towards the sea, and terminating abruptly iu u tremen dous overhanging precipice. In the very centre oi this plane, those among us win mid good e*es could se'e a small blaeU spot. J I was at this the eaplaifi had been peering through Ilia glass, when he said, •• It is a man !” livery glass in the ship was in requisi tion, and every eye strained towards om point.

We sail ed along Us side, frequently lying-10, to explore each nook and corner us we pass ed.

What seemed to convince him more than anything, was the peculiar way in whicii the dead liian'&arin was stowed uw r ay un der his head—his old shipmate always slept so, even in his hummock. Numerous and strange were the con jectures and remarks made by ollieer.sand men. Who and What was lie? How mug had ho been there? How did he get there? The general conclusion wa> that he was one ol the crew of some ves sel wrecked .upon Uie iceberg ilsef, ol which no vestige remained. " Ves, enough,” said one of the sailors ; ‘‘she run into thfe ico in the dark, and went down like u stone, same as we may have done any time this last six weeks.” “ Perhaps he was aloft when she struck and got pitched up where he is now.” " As hue to be p.lched into the moon,” rejoined another, contemptuously.— *.

"That lure I must have,” said the ar ilsst, " for my studio. Will you come to my room and sit for a picture, my little nan ?

" What a spectacle? I should like to paint that figure, and buug it in my stu ho opposite i lie angel-boy," said the ar- ise to himself. , The young man asked the painter for mmey, for he was a beggar as well us a hief. “ Come to my room, and let me paint your portrait, and X will give you all you ask," said tlmariist.
