prevailing at Austin, S.ni Antonio JSeguin,

and that several companies have left ttieee
points within a few days past in search o'
the hidden treasure, and others are making
ready to follow. These mines are found on I

various other places, and are raid lo be very

rHOM 1EV MEXICO UOVKRNOR LANK S
Attempt at Annexation.- The Washing
' ton Intelligencer has Ihe following eonfirma.
lion of Ihe reported attempt ol Governor
Lane to annex to New Mexico ihu Valley of
Me3silla,-siluated a few leagues southwest of
Dona Ana. It is in an extract of a letter
from a highly respectable gentleman in that
lernlory, dated Santa Fe, February 28th.
The writer says :
"Governor Lane is understood to intend to
take possession of that pari of New Mexico
which lies below Ihe line fixed by Commis
sioner Barllett, and above the line ci"hl
- miles above El Paso. There are some two
or three thousand people in the disputed ter
ritory, and most of lhem anxious lo be in
cluded within this Territory. The Governor
does this upon his own responsibility, deem
ing it proper, inasmuch as the Stale of Chi
huahua has resolved and thrown off iho au
ihorily of the Central Government. It is
barely possible that circumstances may in
duce him lo change this determination."

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR DATED 1
Philadelphia, April 26, 1853.
Business was, perhaps, never more brisk
in Philadelphia than nt the present time.
As a general thing, all kinds of merchan
dize ha iomewhat advanced in price, al
Ihounh in man? articles the advance is but
small. It is, indeed, wonderful, that with
the nreat enflux of the precious metals and
the general prosperity of iho cpnntr)VJne

or tft25,00 per week. Thi. however is
moderate compared with New ork, wtieto
some stores have been rented at $10,000 per
annum. Much of ihe prosperity of Phila
delphia arid New York, is undoubtedly to be
attributed to the numerous rnilronds and oilier
communications opened for the trade of the
interior and ihe west
t understand that a new railroad is about
to be constructed connecting the Philadel
phia and Suubtiry railroad nt Ml. Carmel
with the Cattawissa road. Tho grades are
light and the location excellent and as ihe
grades from Sinbury to Ml. Carmel are more
favorable than to Cnltawissa, avoiding the
high bridge of the latter, ihere can bo nn
loubl but 1 hat Ihe be.-l connection of even
the Cattawissa road, with the Susquehanna
river is at Suubury by this road.
The present great demand for mechanics
and laborers of all kinds has induced many
of Ihem lo strike for higher wages. Among
those who have struck, are the waiters in
the hotels, in this city and New ork. The
waiters of Ihe Franklin House, in Ihfs city
having struck, the landlords temporarily sub
stituted females for tho refractory servants.
The boarders and guests, were so well pleas
ed with the change, lli.it the landlord has
resolved to engage ihem peimanently.
There can be no reason why females, should
not be employed in all kinds of business, re
quiting but litlle physical labor. Typo set
ting, for instance, could be done fully ns
well. Several papers in Boston, have now
in their employ, female type sellers. Re-

Ot'R RELATIO.VS WITH MLXICO.
The Washington Union, the Administration
paper, has an article on our relations wilh
Mexico, in which it says:
If the friendly relations of the two couutties
should be interrupted, the unfortunate event
will not be in consequence of the unjust ac
tion of this Government. A satisfactory
solution of existing diflirulties with Mexico is
sincerely sought by Ihe Government, which
is prepared to make every reasonable saci i
fice to peace.
Speaking of Stnla Anna's recent address,
the article says :
Il may be an unmeaning common place ;
but, nevertheless, the declaration in the con
clusion of his address of a purpose lo rullivate
friendly relations with foieign nations, indu
ces us to hope that ihe President of Mexico
appreciates Ihe true condition of his country
and is prepared to maintain a pnlicy of peace
as the only remedy for Iho disorders and evils
which he so eloquently deplores. Another
war vilh the United Stales would inevitulhj ex
tinguish the nationality of Mtxico,',Mid we
cannot suppose Santa Anna to be' insensible
to so obvious a truth or indifferent to so dis
astrous a fate. Whatever, then, inn) be his
disposition,' we canuot doubt that' his policy
will be controlled by his overruling necessity
The silly suggestion that Santa Anna probably
contemplates surrendering tha natiora'ity of
Mexico to some European power is unworthy
of consideration. ' In the gloomiest moments
of his life he never manifested an inclination
lo suicide. He understands the Monioe
doctrine.

EflSCOPALMN IN PENNSYLVANIA.
The Episcopal Recorder calls attention to
the fact that in tome parts of Pennsylvania
where Episcopal churches once 'flourished,
they have so completely faded away that
their very existence has become a tradition.
This region, too, is within a hundred miles of
two great cities, where, at the Recorder says,
ihe church it found rolling in wealth and af
fluene. . Methodist and oiher churches flour
ish in these localities, we are told, every

mi'OllTANT FROM NEW MEi:U.
Chari est'jn, April 2li. The New Orleans
Picayune contains ihe proclamation ol Gov.
Lane, taking possession of the Mecitla Val
ley.
Gov. Lane says that ho does it without
United States authority, and il is lo be hel l
provisionally in ihe tamo of the United
Stales, until the true boundary is determined.
The proclamation also establishes a pro
visional boundary as laid down by Disturnell,
and requires rill civil and military officers lo
execute ihe United States laws in said leni-
toty.
Gov. Lane nlso says that a large number
of the inhabitants of Ihe Valley claim the
protection of the U.sited Suites, and desire
that the Teniloiy bo re-annexed lo New-
Mexico. After Col. Sumner refused his aid
in carrying out the proclamation, Governor
Lane cnlled on Col. Miles, w ho r.lso refused
to act, by instruction fiom Col. Sumner, and
also because he (Miles) believed Guv. Lane
wns doing wiong.
The Mexicans are garrisoned at Mecilla.
with one hundred tegular Iroops and one
hundred and twenty-five National Guards
The Guards nl El Passo were nlso ordeied lo
bo in readiness at u moment's notice to
maich to Iho disputed territory.
The Mexicans on learning of the uffair
immediately sent an express lo Chihunhua
foi troops and arms. It is reported that all
Americans residing in Mecilla were ordered
to leave, but this is doubtful.
Gov. Lnne intended visiting El Passo the
lay after issuing tha proclamation, but tho
Prefect sent him woid that if ho did he
would arrest him.
The American Consul advised Gov. Lane
lo stay away.
The Prefect, however,' Informed all the
Ameiicaus residiii" at El Paso.. that he
would protect llieir persons and properly.
It was believed al El Passo that our Gov
einment will sanction the coui so pursued by
Gov. Lane, and that Major Barlletl's Boun
dary is erroneous.
