JUDICAL ELEOTRIOITY.
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. , , ,

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

quisite inventions allhatioisVt this moment

Pasta and ia ©bisi— little -dp they suspect

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.

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* '

Business in the oil way has been doll As regards
crude there was no stock to operate with, nor is there
any prospect of any receipts untilnavigation is resumed

hare no change to notice. As long as we are without
the material to dispose of it would be out of the ques
tion io furnish correct figures " We hear that at the
wells prices are unchanged, ranging from $3 to 8.60, ac
cording to location. These are certainly steep figures,
and will not admit of export at the present Hastens
figures in our market. The latest from the oil regions
