WOOEBIUL SCIENTIFIC DISC9VBBY. PROFESSOR BORRES’ ELECXiUCAL INSXrTUTE, AII Acute and Chronic dleeaeee cared by special gua rantee, tf desired, and i& case of failure no charge ie made. Electrical investigation has proved, that the .human body acts on the principle of the galvanicbattery. The brain, mucus and serous membranes, the akin, tissues, and fluids constitute the negative and. positive forces. Bvtry action, whether mental or physical, is th* result of these antagonistic forces. Digestion, respiration, cir culation, secretion, and excretion are due solely to Electrical influence. There is a polar action established throughout the nervous system which connects with: every part of the body, establishing and preserving a proper -balance of the electrical element, wnich consti tutes health, and a disturbance of which causes' disease. ; There are at) Ictly but two conditions of disease—one of inflammation, or positive; the other weak, debilitated, negative: and as Biectrieity contains these two condi tions in the action of the positive and negative currents, ail we have to do is to neutralize the disease and restore proper healthy action . we do not wish to convey the impreaslonthat we cure all diee&tes in all conditions. W e cannot e are consump tion after the lungs are all destroyed; yet we do assert, and are "prepared to practically demonstrate, that hun dreds or cases of almost every form of chronic disease, pronounced incurable by the best medical practitioners of the.country, have been radically curkd, some of them in an incredibly «hort time, by our Electrical treatment. Its great superiority over other practices In the cure of disease is also attested in the fact that, with in the past five-years, over fourteen thousand, patients have taen treated a* this office, suffering from almost every form and-condition of disease common to hu manity, and tnneariy all eases a benefit or. perfect cure has been effected. Therefore, with these FACTS toi prove our theory and treatment of disease, we are wil ling to guarantee any of the following diseases by special contract, if the patient desires, with very many others not here enumerated: 1. Diseases of the Brain and Nervous System.—Hq\- lepty. Chorea or St Titus’ Dance, Paralysis (Hemiple gia and Paraplegia). Neuralgia, Hysteria. Nervousness, Palpitation of the Heart, Cock jaw, etc., etc 2. Organa arid Tissues connected with the Digestive System —Sore Throat, Dyspepsia. Diarrhoea, Dysen tery, Obstinate Constipation, Haemorrhoids or Piles, Bilious, Flatulent, and Printer’s Colic, and all affec tions of the Liver and Fpleen а. Respiratory Organs, —Catarrh, Cough, Influenza, istbzns (when not caused by organic disease of the heart), Bronchitis. Pleurisy. Pleurodynia or Raeama tidm of the Chest, Coo sumption in the early stages. 4. Fibrous and Muscular System.— Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Stiff Neck, Spinal Curvature, Hip Disease, Cancers. Tumors, "" 6- Urinary and QenUal Oi'gans. —Gravel, D Kbytes and Kidney Complaints, Impotence and Seminal Weak ness. The latter complaints never fall to yield raplaly to this treatment. _ , . б. Diseases peculiar to Females —Uterine , Com* plaints; involving a mal-poshion. as Proapsns, Ante version, Retroversion, inflammation. Ulceration, and v&riouß other affections of the Womb and Ovaries. Pain* fill, Supprersed, Scanty or Profuse Menstruation, Leu* ccrrfccea. 7. Shin Diseases:— Scrofulous Eruptions, Glandular Swellings, UJcer* of every kind. Felons, Herpes or Tetter; in fuel, in every description of sain disease the Galvanic Bath has proved vastly more effi cacious than all other means combined. Also, diseases of the Eye and Bar. TO LADIES can we recommend this treat meat as one of UNVARISD SUCCESS, Almostinoumerable cases have come under treatment at our office who eaa testify to this fact. Mrs S A-. FULTON, a lady of great experience and ability, has entire charge of the Ladies Depart ment, and ail delicacy will be d toward those who entrust themselves to her care. In .female diseases as mentioned in the above list, with others not mentioned, Bhehash&d a large experience, and can confidently promise the mo't gralifj ing results. TO TEE AFFLICTED. —The treatment is mild and gentle, producing no shock or unpleasant sensation, whatever. Our professional intercourse with the af flicted will ever be characterized by perfect caudor acd honesty, and those whose complaints are Incurable, or* do not admit of amelioration, will be frankly told so, and not accepted for treatment. It matters not what , may be your complaint, or how long you may have suf fered. or how much.jor what coarse of treatment you may have been subjected to, or what disappointments Son have experienced; if tbe system is not worn out sufficient vitality remains for reaction—there is a fair prospect of recovery. , , , REFERENCES. —The diseased and all intereitei are referred to the foPowing-named gentlemen, who have been treated and witnessed oar treatment on others, at No. 1220 Walnut street * , A.

PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 186& C.|t MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1865, Mr. Disraeli. One of tlie moat singular anomalies of the present time, fruitful in such things, is that Mr. Benjamin Disraeli has consti- tuted himself especial champion of the Ob arch of England, which really means of the continued connexion of Church and State. He has been accepted as such, by many high dignitaries of that Church, one' of whom is the Bishop of Oxford, son of the late Mr. Wileerfokcb. The father obtained celebrity by his untiring exertions, in conjunction with the late Thomas Clarkson and others against the Blare Trade and Slavery, hut the,son, albeit a learned, able, and very eloquent gentle man, is chiefly known by his having ob tained the sobriquet of “Soapy Bam,” — suggested, in fact, by his slfppery character, which renders it dangerous fbr any organi zation, clerical or political,'to trust him. The Bishop is exemplary in private but tortuous in public life.- Had he continued a-layman he migTit have figured, no doubt, as a great equity lawyer, splitting hairs 'on the au thority of Coke, Fortescue, and Black stone, or perverting precedents from Ye sey and the other reporters with wondrous ingenuity.' In Parliament he might have headed a snug little party of his own—a legislative Ishmael, with his hand against every one and every one’s hand against him. As a Bishop he has a seat In the House of Lords, where he speaks' dftener upon secular matters than any other mitred orator there. • His influence is small, but it is admitted that he is a. man of marked abi lity. It is not strange that he should pa tronize an attempt to strengthen the posi tion of his Church, as a rich establishment, hut it is curious enough that he should ac cept Mr. Disraeli as champion of the cause. *" It is curious—because Mr. Disraeli is not only the grandson of a Jew, who lapsed into infidelity and finally settled down into Protestantism, but is so remark ably proud of his descent from the old Hebrew stock that he often makes a boast of it. In his speeches, in his poetry, in his pamphlets, and in his novels, he has strongly expressed his sympathy with and pride in the ancient race. He will cham pion the cause of the Anglican Church, which not long ago had not any tolerance for Judaism, and will do this with his usual ability and zeal, until the self-im posed labor Ceases to serve his purpose or Ms time becomes occupied with some more engrossing question. He has twice been a member of the British Cabinet ( Chancellor of the Exchequer and ministerial leader of" the House of Commons), and should he agaiu be placed in office, it is very likely that he would leave the Church, for which, he now professes sympathy and veneration, to take care of himself. We doubt whether Mr. Disraeli would not sacrifice any conviction to reassume a high position as one of Queen Victobia’s ehosen ministers. By getting the Church interest on his side, wMeh Ms new move may effect, he will be strengthened in the House of Commons, where there is aiv increasing tendency to repudiate Mm as leader of the Tory party there.' Backed by the “Church and State ’’ people, he will be stronger than ever in Parliament. _ . . When he writes about the Jews, proud of his own descent, Mr. Disraeli is so earnest and fervid that we are not disposed to ques tion Ms sincerity. The first work in which he showed this pride of race was “The' Wondrous Tale of Alroy,” published in 1838, the hero of wMeh is a reputed, de scendant of King, David, who gave the Caliphate some trouble, in the twelfth cen tury, as a false Messiah,'-whom Ms followers called “The Prince of the Captivity.” It is a brilliant work, full of imagination, and written in a sort of rhythmical and some times metred prose, which, N in its singu larity as well as its beauty and extrava gance, is not without a certain cliarm to the cqltivated mind. Eleven years later, when he had been a short time in Parliament, and was on the eve of commencing that partisan cam paign against Sir Robert Peel’s new Eree Trade system, which established Ms own power as a leader, and finally placed Mm in office, Mr. Disraeli wrote an able political novel called “ Coningsby; or, the Hew' Generation,” in wMeh, some time before Thackeray had put the late Marquis of Hertford into “ Vanity'Pair,” as the Marquis of Steyne, the same noble man was introduced as the Marquis of Monmouth. As was natural, Mr. Thack bbay showed the darker side of tMs noble man’s character, while Mr. Disbaeli ex- Mbited it in a far more favorable light. Bat Disbaeli, who was deep in the secrets of political life, aIBO brought upon the st%ge, under the name of Mr. Digby, factotum to the Marquis, the late John Wilson Crokeb, who really had acted in that capacity to Lord Hertford, and was handsomely remembered and rewarded in Ms will. That portraiture of Mr. Cbokeb is drawn with the free hand and truth of a great artist. English literature has -no such other picture of a political and personal toady at all approaching the power of this. “Tancred ; or, The New Crusade,” pub lished in 1847, was Disbaeli’s next politi cal romance, and, like “Coningsby,” con tains many of its author’s favorite views about Judaism and the Jews. In the preface to the fifth edition of “Coningsby,” its author-justified the in troduction of the Jewish element into fic tion on the ground that it was the origin of the Christian Church, and that the He brew race were the founders of Christi anity. “The Jews,” he said, “were looked upon in the middle ages as an ac cursed race—the enemies of God and man ; the especial foes of Christianity. No one in those days paused to reflect that Christianity was founded by a Jew that its Divine Author, in his hu man capacity, -was a descendant of King- David ; that his doctrines, avowedly were the completion, not the change of Judaism* that the Apostles and the Evangelism, whose names men daily invoked, and whose volumes they embraced with reve rence, were all Jews- that the infallible throne of Homo itself was established by~a Jew, and that a Jew was the founder of the Christian Churches of Asia.” ' . As the medium of communicating Ms peculiar opinions, Mr. Disraeli imagined a Jew, scarcely yet in middle age, im mensely rich, highly accomplished, well received in the best society wherever he went, with ramifications of his business in the principal cities of Europe and the East, with the highest beauty of his race, and possessing princely manners, varied conversational powers, and, when occasion demanded, impressive -eloquence. This modem Crichton he named Bidonia, and made him figure largely in “ Coningsby” and also in “ Tancred.” It is in converse tion that this gentleman’s defence of the Jews is produced. We shall give the pith' of his remarks on one occasion: “At this moment,” Bidonia said, “in spite of centuries, of tens of centuries, of degradation, the Jewish mind exercises a vast influence on the affairs of Europe. I speak not of their laws, wMch you still obey—of their literature, with which your minds are saturated—hut of the living He brew intellect.” He proceeds'to say that the first Jesuits were Jews; Nbankeb, the founder of Spiritual Christianity, is a Jew; Behabt, equally famous, and, like -him, A Professor is the Hniversity of HerUn, is a Jew; Wehl, the Arabic Professor of Heidelberg, and author of the fafe of-Ma homet, is a Jbw, and at Berlin? alone were ten German professors of this race. A few years before. Count Canerin,sod of a Li thuanian Jew, was Finance Minister to ; the Czar; Senor Menoezabel, son of a'-NaßE v© Christiaho, a Jew of Arragotr,. held the same office in Spain; ; the President, of the French Council, Marshal Sottlt, had a Jewish father ; MassknA, another French Marshal, was a Jew, whose real name whs Manasseh-; Count Akuhen, head of the Prussian Ministry, was a Jew, and other instances might be adduced, most of the persons being alive when Disraeli thus named them. In music, too; Sidonia boasted, the race had almost sovereign supremacy. ; “There is not a company of; pagers, hot an orchestra in -a single capital, that is not crowded with our. children -Under the feigned names that tlysy adopt to conciliate the dark aversion« posterity will some - day disclaim ,with shame and disgust; Almost every-great composer, skilled musician—almost every voice that ravishes you with its transporting strains, springs from opr tribes/ /The catalogue is too vast to enumerate, too illustrious to' dwell for a' moment on secondary names,- : however eminent. Enoughlfor us that the three; great creative' mihdsHd whose ex quisite inventions allhatioisVt this moment yield. Rossini, ■ ; Mavißßifeß; Mendels sohn, are of Hebrew race ;land little do your men of Tashion,' yotti 4 muscadins’ of Paris, apd your dandies qf London, as they thrill intq raptures notes of a Pasta and ia ©bisi— little -dp they suspect that they are offering their homage to 4 the sweet Bsrh^.f" The fact that there is little modern. Jew ish poetry, oraiory or literature, ia adroitly, evaded thus : “ Great poets require a pub lic ; we have been content With the immor tal melodies that we sung more than two thousand years ago by the waters of Baby lon and wept; They record our triumphs; they solace -our affliction. Great orators are the creatures of popular assemblies; we Were permitted only' by stealth to meet even in our temples. And as for great writers, the catalogue is not blank; "What are- all the: schoolmen, Aquinas himself, to Maimonides ? and as for modern phi-, losophy, all springs from Spinoza.” All this is Quite en couleur <U rose. There are two sides to every question, and conse quently to this. Over thirty' years ago Henry Hart Mu,man, nowD.D,:, and Dean of St. Paul’s, London, wrote a “ History of the Jews,” for Murray’s Family Libra ry, and the work has been remodelled and enlarged, bringing the annals down to our own "time. Mr. /William Yeazie, the Boston publisher, has lately brought out a Riverside edition, in three volumes, the closing chapter of which gives a survey of the influence of the Jews on philosophy, poetry, history, &c. It takes a.view rather different from that presented by Mr. Disraeli. Dr. Milman affirms that the famous Ca bala. “is essentially Jewish in thought, in language, in its utter aversion to, or rather ignorance of, Greek philosophers and Greek philosophy; that the poetry of the Jews, except that of the Bible and the Talmud, is wholly imitative; that to be poets, in Eu rope and in our days, the Jews must cease to be Jews; whether retaining their creed or not, they must abandon their language,” as Eeikrich Heine did; that 44 Jews may be English, German, Spanish;- Italian, French poets—they will scarcely be He brew poets ;” that of history, in its highest sense, Jewish literature is almost barren; that had Meander remained a Jew, he would not have aspired to the rank he now so as ;the historian, not of the events only, but -of the intimate spirit of Christianity; that Spinoza, eulogized by Disraeli, and certainly a man of pure in tellect, ceased to be a Jew in language as well as in thought and? conviction, dis claimed by and disclaiming his race, and— “unkindest cut of any!' I —that even the son of' Moses Mendelssohn, the philoso pher, commonly called, the “Socrates of the Jews,-” had passed over to Christianity before he achieved his immortal fame as a musical composer. So much for the pro and eon upon the question of the ascendency of the Jewish mind. Dibraeli, writing in May, 1849, re ferring to his ideas upon it, said that he “ recognized in the Church the most power ful’ agent In the previous development of England, and.the most effective means of that renovation of the national spirit at which he aimed, The Church is a sacred corporation, for the promulgation and maintenance in Europe of certain Asian principles, which, though local in their birth, are of divine .origin, and of universal and eternal application.” Perhaps, then, his present crusade in favor of the Church of England was really , in Mr. Disraeli’s mind twenty years ago, when he imagined Sidonia as a vehicle for introducing his Judaical predilections ? If so, we should think all the better of his / sincerity now. -- The English Income Tax. The American Income (ax is the child of the Eng-, lish (or British) Income tax, and some account of the parent may not be uninteresting to those who have felt how hard and harsh is the child’s hand, though it is impossible to keep It ont of our pockets. The first English Income tax was passed at the ba ginning 6f 1T98; just as the fifth year of the war with Hepnbucan I'ranee was drawing to a close. It was a bungling piece of legislation; ana, though the work of that great finance minister, the revered William Pitt, ft would have disgraced an American Congress. It produced only .21,865,990, or about $9,®0.000, and fasted but oneyear. Than came anew law, levying a io-per-cent. duty upon Incomes above £2CO, and with,'graduated scales for those between thatenm and £6O. This yielded about thirty millions of dollars, an amount that does not impress us much in relation to English wealth, but the smaU ness of the return Was due to the vloionsness of the law’s details. Host of its provisions were bad, and the rate of taxation wasiwice as high as it should have been, causing false returns and perjury to be very common. Tiio tax ceased in 1802, alter peace had been made with France. War being renewed in 1803, a third income tax law was passed. Warned by their previous failures, English states men avoided the folly of establishing a high rate, and five per cent, was the amount levied. The ef fect showed that they had acted wisely. Theamount obtained nndef the lower ra’e was almost as large as that which had been obtained when the rate was ten per cent. It was about *86,000,000. In 1806 the rate was doubled, but the gain to the revenue was not. Entire exemption was allowed onlyto Incomes under £5O, or about *240, while a graduated scale was imposed upon incomes between £5O add £l5O a year, out limited to Incomes derived from trades, professions, and offices. In 1816, after having ex isted for ten years-at ten per cent., the tax. : was re ' pealed. The English looked upon the inoome tax as a war measure, and they would not submit to its continuance in time of peace. The year. 1815 was - Waterloo year, and Napoleon was under watoh aßd ward at St. Helena four months-after that grand victory bad been won. If. ever- they, could have looked lor a long peace, then was the time; and re peal was so strongly the word that It soon became the thiDg. Mr. Pitt had said that the tax should positively cease on the restoration.of peaoe; and the act itself declared it to he “for and during the war, and no longer.” The Government wished tore tain the tax, butwere willing to reducethe rate tofive per cent. But, though they had animmense majority in the Hopse of Commons, and the opposition was fee bler there than-the opposition will be in the next U. S. House of Representatives, they, were badly beat en. They Lad calculated upon a. majority of forty (40), Whloh would have been a vory small ministe rial majority In those days; and they were beaten -by thirty-seven .(87) majority, “The division took place,” says Lord Brougham, “after a debate that did not last half an hour; no one oould, indeed, be heard in an assembly so impatient for thp de-. dsion: and by a majority of thirty-seven voices the tax was defeated forever, and the wholesome principle, as Mr. Wilberforoe- well observed, was laid down that war. and Income tax are wedded together.” The opposition were- astonished at their victory, they having* expected to lose by twenty iuajorlfjr. But as MJss_ Martlneau says, “ It was not a party triumph.. The national feeling was Irresistible. Even members of the tory party asslsted at and rejoiced in the Issue.” The miuis • tors, while wishing to retain half the tax, knew better than to make the question of retention a ministerial measure; for if they hadso made it, the failure'Of the measure would have foroed- them to resign office. So little, however, was the decision - one of a party character, that the ministry which failed on that occasion remained in existence for eleven ywrs longer, feHmg to 1827, and faUlng then only because its oiler had beoome incurably 11L-. The decision of the House of Commons was against I the Inoome tax, which was regarded as an oppres sive and an Inquisitorial Impost. ' . • There are two points *kat we would Imwess-'Mi the-readefs mind In connection with this chapter from the history of English finance, The first Is, that a low rate of taxation produced almost as much as a rate that was made twice as Mgh.and that,the low rate was clmerfidlyPa«irrhilothe high rate led to constant discontent, and grum blfrg; and it is a matter of moment , thattaxetion should be so effected as not taore ate disaffection. The second point is that the op < position to the continuance of the inoome tax. In XM6, was successful because the.-rate .was so high. Had the ratebeen but; five per cent., the tax would * ’ have been maintained, to the great improvement of England's flh*ni)tß; bqt it Tfgjl B 0 Wgh thst It coulfi’not be aiflßtaCned, Does K not follow, that, those Who are calling for a high- Income tax here are pursuing a course jthat must, should their oall be heeded, lead to the repeal or the* tax as toon at peace shall be restored? What It wanted Is a mo derate, wOil-enforced tax','that shall hare the ele ment of permanence In it, and not 9-high .and an oppressive tax; which the country would throw off at a moment when money .-might be store needed even than It B’ln this time of war. The English remained without an Inootßc tax for. twenty-six yearn. In 1811 Slr .Robert FebT formed - his second ministry, and, as English' financGs-were ' much disordered, be retired the Income tax; which has ever since endurdd, though it has been* often changed in details. The rate Imposed was 7d'. lit the pound, being £2 IBS. id. pef cent. The act was Rr con tinue in force three-years.' It was renewed ln-lßiS 1 ■lor three years; andr agatn'fer three years In ISIS'; fob one year In 1861, aud’&gain In 1862 Incomes un - dor £lBB a year were not taxed. In 1868 the act Tfas -extended to Ireland, and'tota? exemption was re- ' strlcted to Incomes under £100; and those ranging^ , Irom £lOO to £l6B were subject to a tower rate ' duty. The oooarrence of the Russian war, In 188 i, le<l ■'to the doubling or tha rate; which was not a stifling measure, as the rate had alt along been low. A year later an addition war made of “Sid. In thb pound on Incomes o? £l6O a year, or up wards-;. and of IKd. in the'pound 1 on. incomes amounting to £lOO and not exceeding £l6O a year, maklng-ls. id. In the former ease; and llXd. la the latter. Items declared by that aot that the addi tional’ duties should continue In force until the Bth of April after the expiration of one- year from the' ratification of a definitive treaty of peace.” These were war measures, and the English wished to retain as much as possible of thoprlnclple that an Income tax Is a war tax. In 1858" the tax was uniform, being levied on all Incomes af sd. In the pound, the lowest rate that had been known since the tax’s revival. In 1869 an addition oFid. la the pound was placed on Incomes or £168; or up wards, and ijja. in the pound on lower Incomes. I’or 1860 the fates were 10a. and 7d„ andlorlBtSl they were reduced to Bd. This last rate continued In - force until 1863; when Mr. Gladstone brought for ward his proposition to Impose a uniform rate of 7d. - in the pound oh all Incomes of £lOO or upwards, and -to grant certain exemptions to Incomes ranglngfrom £lBO to £2OO. i - The English Government admits the cruelty of taring small Incomes, and does what it can to lessen the evil. It makes certain abatements on account of premiums paid for life Insurance, a most excellent provision, whioh might well be Imitated here,for of all the means to which men resort to lessen the evils of existence, there is not one that Is eyual In excellence to life Insurance; and as an Income tax operates to reduce men’s power to avail them selves of the benefits that come from Insuring their lives, bearing hard upon those very classes that are most in the habit of insuring, It ought to be framed bo as here to make the .same abatements that are made In England. An Englishman who has an in come of £2OO, and who pays annually £2O for life Insurance, Is estimated at £lBO, and Is taxed accor dingly. This abatement is a most proper one, and does credit to English legislation, and It is worthy of all imitation by a people so thoughtful as Ame ricans claim to be.— Boston Traveller. . EUROPE.

The Dutch Minister merely acknowledges the re ceipt of the note, and expresses as earnest wish for the prompt re-establishment of peace in America. The Lon con Times, In an editorial on the Wil mington expedition, says that comparing the mag "nltude of the design with the harmlessness of the re sults,it may certainly be considered one of the most remarkable operation* of the war. The London Globe says that this year no serious ■ reduction in the cost of either the army or navy of England can reasonably be expected. In the last three years reductions have taken place to the ex tent of two and a half millions sterling, and by a careful economy and reorganisation the amount maybe brought up to three millions in the ensuing financial year.

Fossils akd Mrtxoritks in Mexico.-—ln a let* ter addressed to the Academy of Solenees, Dr. Oa-~ voroz, of Durango, states that at a place called Dos Zapotos, four leagues from Onquio, Mexico, there is a considerable deposit of the remains of Large mam malia: and that at a certain “hacienda,” or farm, near Zacatecas, the doctor himself found two enor mous teeth of a herbivorous animal, a bone full of holes (most probably the vomer), a fragment of a tuck a metre in length and a quarter of a metre in diameter,.at a depth of four metres in a sandy soil. At this same place there 1 is also' a block of iron found at Zacatecas many years ago. By dint of immense labor a.piece had been cut.from it and taken to England to be examined. The re maining block is about seventy centimetres long, and thirty In breadth, by twentyfive in thick ness, and is .of an Irregular shape. Its upper surface is broken by small hemispherical cavities, like those which are observable on meteorites, and as the region in which n. was found fa not ferrife rous, and the iron of which the block consists is per fectly malleable, which common Iron In its natural state is not, there is every reason to suppose that this block ie a meteorite. There aro several masses of Iron mentioned in geological works, and supposed to be meteoric; the foremost are these of Jenissa, In Siberia, observed by Fallas,, who estimates its weight at 700 kilogrammes $ another of 14,000 kilo grammes, at Olumpa, near Santiago, in the Ttunr man district: and, lastly, that of Durango, said to weigh 19,000 kilogrammes, which, however, Dr. Ga voroz, who is of the place, calls a mistake. The author who first committed this mistake, he re marks, did not visit Durango in person, but took lor granted what he was told about It. The sup posed block of Durango is nothing but a hiU called Oerro Mercado, exclusively composed of iron ore. It Is situated at the distance of one-fourth of a league from Durango; its base is 1,900 varas long by 900 in breadth (the vara is little more than a metre), and it rises 680 feet above the level of the surrounding country. It chiefly consists of specu lar Iron 03 e, magnetic oxide of iron, and the oar-' bonate of the same metal. Upon the whole, the average yield of Its ore- Is froip 60 to 63 per cent It contains neither cobalt nor nickel, and its total weight, Instead of being only 19,000 kilogrammes, turns out by calculation to be at least 460,000,900 tone;— GaHgnttnL FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. The hopelessness of any attempt to bring Jeff Davis to terms through peace commissioners, who carrjr merely the olive branch, has bees again proved in the result of. Hr Blair’s mission to Richmond .The ** stern states* man.” it appears, has set himself firmly against any proposals for settlement except such as involve separa tion and independence. Hr' Blair's failure was but a repetition of many other benevolent and well-con ceived. but utterly useless, efforts to reinstate peace and harmony by negotiation. However much disposed to peace and Union may be the people of the South, the rulers, who still hold the reins of government with-a powerful grasp, are determined that, come what may, they will listen to no terms except those which, our brave armies will compel them to listen to at the can- - rum’s mouth. Haring risked everything. .j*d now havlßg nothing more to lose, these reckless mid defiant leaders reject the,commissi oners whom the Govern ment, iu the generosity and humanity which charac terize it, have from time to time permitted to visit the rebel capital Henceforward these missions, to effect anything at all, must be euch as will draw out State action, and, by promoting, the disintegration of the States of the Confederacy, insure the rebo tiding of the Union in strength and prosperity greater than ever. The peace rumors in connection With Hr. Blair's mist ion to Richmond have furnished during the past week an exclusive topic for discussion, speculation,and moneymaking. The men who oa Saturday were the loudest in talking about the froitlessness of peace mis sion?, who argued the most convincingly that the re bellion cannot be crushed except by continued and un ceasing war, who advocated no termsjbut subjugation, andconfiBcation, and annihilation, were the very per^ sons who afew days ago strove, with all the logic and eloquence at their command, to convince other people that there was one way and only one way to have a re stored Union, andthatwas by negotiation. - One would imaginethat they were in the strictest confidence with the leaders of the rebellion, so earnestly did they talk of the intentions and wishes of the South, and its-anxiety to receive terms of settlement. Theywere willing to stake all they had that we would have peace iu ten days if Hr. Biair would be allowed to get through the lines of the contending armies; they had “private de spatches, from parties whom they they averred were high In authority at Washingtonrall of which were unmistakeable and emphatic in the prediction of Hr. Blah ’e success. Our object in calling attention to this matter now is to say that we think scarcely any of these shrewd speculators believed then a word of what they were so loudly proclaiming* This fact is proved by the circumstance that these same men now talk as Violently the other extreme of the peaee question. Gold speculation has been rampant all the time, and the par ties who have bought up so largely at low rates—the “bears ’’ of two weeks since—are In the markets wait * ingto'sell. They are now as anxious to sell high as theywere then anxious to buy low. The arguments and facts in favoi of an early and honorable peace are to-day as strong if not stronger than on any day since the beginning of the war, and the gold gamblers know It, but are not anxious that other people should think It. Hence, they make the most of the Blair failure, and attach to it an importance net warranted by the circum stances of the case* ' The stock market was moderately active on Saturday, and Government loans improved not only as to demand but as to price; the ’Bls sold at 110, au advance of %; the ten-forties at 10134, an advance of X, and the five twenties at IQBK, an advance of %.. There was very little inquiry for State loans, and but a small lot of the war-loan sixes sold at 104, which, however, is a slight advance City six« s were quiet. There was less said in company bonds, but prices were generally steady; Pennsylvania Railroad second-mortgage bonds sold at 104>4; Schuylkill Navigation sixes of ’72 at 90; Elmira sevens at 102; Lehigh Valley sixes at 100; Camden and Amboy mortgage sixes at 106* The share market was. generally steady; Reading was a shade lower, but Pennsylvania Railroad, Philadelphia and Erie, Mine hill, little Schuylkill, and Cat&wissa sold at about previoo s prices,.
