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.
