Mexico and it* Resources. The stirring events now transpir ng on the soil of Mexico attract general attention, and -whatever ap? pertains to the history and condition of that country will prove interesting. The Times, a newspaper published in the city of Mexico, in speaking of the resources of the country, says : The Empire is divided into fifty departments, with an area of 712,850 square miles, and a population of 8,218,080 souls. It is more than three times as large as France, four times as large as Spain, and about thirty times the size of Holland and Belgium. It is in extent and internal resourcea a first class Empire. No country on earth has as many natural advantages. Mexico is self sustaining in every way. She raises her own breadstiiffs of every kind her beef and pork-her coffee, sugar and chocolate-her indigo, cochineal and vanilla-her wool, thread and cordage, and is now producing a large quantity of her cotton. She produces wines, aguadiente, mezed and pulqe in tho greatest abundance. In the Northern departments, border? ing on the Rio Grande, there is a fine grazing region. Here arc immense herds of horses, mules, cattle and sheep. The middle portion of the Empire is more devoted to agriculture-to corn and wheat and rye and barley and oats. Here the Irish potato grows well. The Pacific and Atlantic coasts are well adapted to sugar, coffee, tobacco and rice, and all the tropical plants and fruits. In the ex? treme South, in Yucatan, Campeeche, Tehuantepec, Tabasco, and La La guno, is tho country for dye-woods, mahogany, and tho very best cacao. Hore also grow in great perfection, the cocoanut and the chirimoya, and every other inter-tropical fruit. The lovers of natural history will find here in their native forests, the no? blest specimens of animated nature. Oajaca produces cochineal and in? digo in large quantities, -while the high lands of Jalapa havehiouopoliz ed for years the production of tho celebrated "purgative drug." The most valuable silver mines are situated in Tulaucingo, Zacatecas, San Luis Potosi, Guanajuato, Jalis? co, Guenoo, Sonora, Sinaloa and Chihuahua. The copper mines of Chihuahua are said to be the richest in the world, and the pearls of Lower California have ever been in great demand. Tho silver mines of Real del Monte and Pachuca, in Tulan ciugo, are but a short distance from this city. They are the most valuable in the country, and arc now yielding their owners large dividends. The mines of Guerreo are not only rich in silver and gold, but the streams abound in precious stones. Tho Mint of Mexico h.a.? coined from 1800 to 1860. in silver, $405, 924,490 ; in gold $26,175,544. How much of these precious metals was coined before 1800, and how much was taken out of the country by Spanish Viceroys, by refugee Presi? dents and Generals, and by that system of smuggling carried on so successfully for so many years, will never be made known. This is a vast empire of mountains and valleys. The valleys are exceed? ingly rich and productive, while thc mountains are filled with hidden treasures. Two-thirds of all the sil? ver in circulation in tho wide world has been taken from Mexico. If sho is but true to herself-if her citizens will rise above the small bickerings of party, and rally around our repub? lican Emperor, and support him in his onward march of progress and improvement, this empire will soon bo one of the richest and happiest portions of "God's green earth." Mexico is richer to-day than she ever was. New mines are daily discovered and worked with improved machinery. There aro in her mountains ten thou? sand times more silver and gold than have been taken out. All sho wants is energy-energy. The friends of Dr. A. N. TALLEY nomi? nate him as a candidato for Mayor at tho ensuing ?lootion in April noxt. NOT 2 * The Southerii Guardian. B IPROPOSE to revira ?he publication of this journal, ac Columbia, S.
