At mere is much interest attached to every*
thing that is said or done in connection with
Mexico, and as the Anglo-Saxon clement of
this continent are determined to have a good
hand in the deal that is to decide the destinies
of that country, the following statement of the
people, condition and resources, will be found
of interest:
Mexico is composed of twenty-one States,
three territories, and a federal district. These
States, according to position, character, and
principal productions, are naturally divided into
three classes, whose rival interests have been
frequently a cause for the agitations that disturb
the peace of the country. The noithern cora
prirte the great cattle ranchos, the central, the
wheat-growing districts, the southern the terras
calientex, where sugar, coflee, cotton, and other
trophic and products are indigenous. A considera
ble portion of the surface of the country consists
of the vast elevated plains, four, five, or six
thousand feet above the level of the sea, border-,
ed liy abrupt declivities of mountain ranges.
The fertile districts, having an altitude of only
2,500 or 3,000 feet above the level of the sea,
are very warm, and have a t< pieal luxuriance of
vegetation Os the 100,000 square leagues of
Mexican territory, perhaps three-fifths are the
elevated plains, which under the sun of the
tropics, possess the genial climate of spring or
autumn in the temperate zone.
The population of Mexico is about 8,000,000,
of which number it is calculated that there are
between three and a half and four millions of
Indians; 2,000,000 of Mestizoes, or descendants
of whites and Indians ; nearly, or altogether 1 ,-
000,000; of Creoles, or native whites about 20,-
000 or 30,000 natives of old Spain or other Eus
ropean countries, and near 1,000,000 of mulat
toes, Zamboes, negroes and mixed races.
A considerable number of the Indians are
known as bravos (savages), arid belong to the
Apache, ('amanche acd other northern tribes
who continually rob and murder their white
neighbors in the Northern States, and especially
those who attempt to work the rich mines that
have been discovered. In the Southern States
the Mayos and other tribes have maintained a
lull or partial independence, hut arc not preda
tory or warlike in their character. Trained by
the magnificent Government of their old Empe
rors, they admire display and pomp. Though
constituting a large body of the Mexican people,
these Indians take very little interest in political
alhtirs. They generally look back with fond re
gret to the, happiness, peace and prosperity that
their race enjoyed under Montezuma and his
predecessors ; but their spirit is crushed by years
of vassalage, and they have little hope of again
controlling the destinies of their country. Among
them arc found many of the most skilful arti
sans and industrious people of Mexico, in fact,
they do the larger part of the hard work that is
done in the mines, woods or fields, anil under a
good government would he quiet and productive
citizens. Though some of these Indians have
suifk into that serfdom which prevents them,
under severe penalties, leaving the estates to
which they belong, and are ignorant, supersti
tious and indolent, yet there are others who
possess large estates, and aro shrewd, patriotic
men, who understand that '‘the salvation of
Mexico must come, if it comes at all, from
Anglo-Waxon energy, and are disposed to sustain
it.”
The Mestizoes generally partake of the vices
’ of their white fathers, nml arc turbulent, lazy,
revengeful and dishonest. Some of them are,
however, skjjl'til mechanics, and were industry
encouraged would ho good citizens. The
grocs, Zamhoes and mixed raCfs are more ig
norant, degraded and superstitious than any
other class.
The Europeans in Mexico arejmostly the in
habitors of estates, ecclesiastics, adventurers and
the agents of foreign commercial establishments
or mining companies. To these have been
added in the last three years the French
army of invasion and the followers of the
Emperor Maxatniiian, It must be understood
that this new population, numbering about 30,-
000, is not included in the figures given above.
The Creoles are the most influential class of
the Mexican people, though not near so numer
ous as thi' Indians or Mestizoes. They are very
often too prouil to work, or too poor to live with
out it; hence the larger portion of them are po
litical aspirants, military chieftains, gamblers,
keepers o! puhjuerias(drinking houses,) brigands
or siMdiers, and partake generally of the charac
teristics of these classes. Those of them who
own estates are the best of their kind, and ea
gerly desire that the government ot their country
should be speedily established on a constitutional
and national basis.
The climate and temperature of the different
IStates ot Mexico depend mainly upon their
altitude, and are thus sufficiently varied to suit
every constitution. The climate of the valleys
anil lowlands is warm, anil its mean average
temperature is from sixty-five to eighty-four
degrees of Fahrenheit. That of the plains va
ries, and its mean average temperature ranges
from forty-five to sixty two degrees.
In general Mexico is an exceedingly healthy
country. The only districts that are considered
otherwise are parts of the Gulf coast, part of Yu
catan, and fart of the plain bordering the Pacific.
The rainy season begins in June, and during
this month, July and August, the heat ranges
from eighty-one to eighty-three degrees. The
yellow lever is prevalent on the Gull coast in
July, August, September and October; but it
ceases when the northers begin to blow, and
never makes its appearance in places which are
et an elevation of two thousand five hundred
Icct above the level of the sea. During the rainv
season the Pacific coast, which is warmer than
the Gull coast, is unhealthy, and miasmatic
diseases are not uncommon, but there is no
yellow fever. Part of the plain of Tobasco,
which is geneially under water for several
months during the rainy is «l»u Iron?
similar causes unhealthy at those periods, and
intermittent fevers often oceur in the deeper and
more shadv valleys, but on the table lanJs arc
unknown. Th pure air and cloudless skies of
these favored spots seem most congenial to the
physical development of the human race, which
i» here rarely afflicted by disease, and otten
attains wonderful longevity.
Os course, with such a vast territory, with such
variations of temperature and a prolific soil,
Mexico produces in profusion every fruit and
flower and plant of the torrid zone, and every
cereal, every fruit and every tree of more north'
ern temperate regions. Baron Humboldt says :
“ There is scarcely a plant in the rest of the
world which is not susceptible of cultivation in
one or other part ot Mexico.” Nor is it less
favorable to animal life. There are one hundred
and thirteen species of land birds known in
Mexico, and of these eleven are also natives of
Uouth America, thirty-four are found in the
SniteJ tvtates, anil sixty-eight are peculiar to
Mexico. Herds of bison and countless thousands
of antelopes and deer are found on the vast
plains, over which also roam immense herds of
wild cattle, horse- and sheep, that have sprung
from those imported by the Spaniards.
The soil of Mexico is mostly alluvial, and in
general extremely fertile. NVith the exception
o; a few arid spots, fields of lava and narrow
sandy strips on the sea shores, the whole vast
erritory ot *Mexico is admirably adapted to til
lage or grazing. The magnificent table lands
hav the climate ot Southern Europe ami a
vastly richer soil. Os com this Mexican garden
has yielded as high as eight hundred bushels for
one ot seed. A yield of three or four hundred
is not unC' t.mon, and even daring the
year , the cr ps will range fr m sixty to
1 r one. .v ,n Puebla forty to one is ti e
•iCirn for wheat, and at Zel&ya, SaUmsn-
Santiago, 1. i to forty-five for one is ll.e
yield. To table lands produce vast
t the ceraiia, aid also an abundance of
. peaches, plums, apricots, apples, pears,
and pomegranates. The-people of these
v, nds live mainly on Corn, hut grow large
, ies of wheat, rye, bailey, and potatoes. —
* . re in the v. iis there a greater abun
-1 vegetable so rd.
lower plain, of Terras Templades, and
cts known Torres Calientes, grow in pro
all trcpical ] iiiU raid fruits. Irannarias,
of which -11 -unbolt says will feed titty
.hen an acie of wheat will only feed
arc grown with the most insignificant
tot labor and attention. The olive and
urishetl everywhere, as also do melons
matoes. Mulberry trees do well, and
in be advantageously cultivated. The
cane is well adapted to many of the
. r districts, Icing extensively grown in
Mi nu.ican, and cofi-.e is cultivated in cxtimive
plantations near Or ziba and Cordova. Tohac-.
co grows well in in ny places, and some of it is
said to have a very superior flavour. Indigo,
jalap, vanilla and s.nsaparilla are found abun
dantly in lit'! wood i t liucetan, Chiapas, Tea
huantep.-c, Oajaca ami Tubasco. For hun
dreds of miles along the eastern coast, and in
many other districts, the vanilla grows wild in
profusion, but only the Indians collect its valu
able beans; no ci.c thinks of cultivating the
plant. Cotton of excellent quality grows wild
in many paits, and it is estimated that the
cotton plantations citeauy yield over seven
millions of pounds a year. •Tehuantepec and
Sonora produce annually 192,500 pounds of
indigo, and so cheaply can it be supplied that
it is sold by the planters for Ir m 62 cents to
B>l per pound. Over a million pounds of cochi
neal are annually ! wduced in the table lands
of Mixtecapan. On- both sidc3 ot tile Isthmus
of Tehuantepec, in Yucatan and in Tobaseo,
are almost inexhau.- i’.le stores cf mahogany and
other valuable Cabin, t woods, dry woods and
gum. The cocoa of Oajaca is of such superior
excellence that while the country belonged to
Spain it was reserved for the royal family.
But it is not alone in vegetable pro Juetions
that the Mexican .States are rich. Chihuhua
and other States have immense herds of cattle,
horses and sheep. Dies abound in Yucatan.
The Gulf of California is rich in pearls. Trav
ellers assert that there is in Puebla sulphur
enough to supply the world. In Lower Califor
nia there is one solid bed of rock-sab, three
hundred miles in length—salt mare pure than
that obtained from the famous mines ot Cracow.
In the hands of a few half civilized Creoles and
oppressed Indians, this monster mine, so rich,
so inexhaustible, is entirely unworked.
Tho mining region of Mexico occupies a dis
trict of over 12,000 square leagues. Here are
found, in poryhrytic rocks', thousands of mines
of gold ,silver, iron, copper, lead, tin, zinc,quick
silver arsenic, and antimony, not one in one
hundred of which is worked efficiently. The
gold mines are mostly’ on the west side of the
Hierre Madre, north of 24 degrees north lati
tude. The silver mines are in valleys between
the mountains and are richest from mountains
that rise from table lands, or border them. Zam
brano, the propiietor of the silver mines at San
Dimas Gurisamey, in Durango, is said to
have drawn the enomtou-amount oi $30,000,000
worth from them. On the head waters of Can
delaria River, in Yucatan, are said to be the
richest silver mines in the world. One pro
prietor is stated to have enough to pave a street
with dollars. With all the disadvantages at
tending the scarcity and consequent high price of
labor, and the difficulties and cost of transpor
tation, the annual yield of precious metals has
been estimated at from .$>20,000,000 to 25,000,000
This amount could be indefinitely increased.
Copper n its native state is found abundant
ly in Valladolia, Occidentc and Guanajuato.
Iron is plentifully fund in Zacatecas, Vallatio
tia and Jalisco, The mines of copper, lead iron
and zinc arc not generally worked, but could
readily be so. A considerable amount of copper,
impregnated with gold, is sent from .Guaymas
to China, to be separated by a cheap process
known only in that country. North of the vast
salt bed in Lower California, already mentioned,
is a bed of ama gamated tin and copper, which is
130 miles long. Its produce yields eighty per
cent, of copper and ten per cent, of tin, being
almost natural gun metal; yet it lies entirely
unworked.
A Good Joke.—Our readers will enjoy the
stylo in which it is related, not less than the
joke, which occurie 1 in tho South Carolina
House ol Delegates, a short time since.
The Columbia conespondent of the Charles
ton News, declares that while the appropriation
bill was under consideration, a certain repre
sentative from Newberry, who is “a chronic
case,’’ in the Legislature, an 1 whom every one
who was connected with that Tsody at any
period ten years before the 1 war will
remember as the incarnation of good
humor, and recognize under the familiar
natno of ‘‘Chris,” moved that, an appropriation
of three silver dollars be made for the wife of
the door keeper, to her own exclusive use and
benefit. The pith of tho fun lies ia the anec
dote which the old gentlemau referred to,
who, by the way, is a gallant old soldier, and
has a kindly heart under a pretty rough exte
rior, tells on himself as follows :
If. seems that some years since being a little
given to Cock-fighting, (which he ckn’t help
as be hails from Edgefield,) he vyent to Ham
burg, very much against the consent of his
batter half, to indulge in hfs favorite amuse
ment, and indulging a htflc too freely lost all
his money and borrowed from a friend to
enable him to return home. Op arriving at
his house late at night he went immediately
to his chamber, aroused his good Inly, and was
received pretty as she suspected, and
justly, that he had gambled away his snb
stance. In fact, she refused to speak
to fcim, and quietly rolling over ia bed,
turned her back on her liege lord. Not
at all discomposed, friend G walked to his
bureatf, opened his favorite drawer, and taking
out of his pocket three silver dollars, the last
he had left commenced dropping them in and
stealing them out, meanwhile counting one,
two, three, four, five and so on. Mrs, G.
contained herself under Iho operation, ignorant
of the deception, until ha had reached to a
hundred and silty in his count, when utterly
unable to concord her gratification at fits sup
pos:d gains, and anxious to conciliate him she
rolled over with the exclamation,‘‘Old man’
that blue heu of yours luruetkout this evening,
a dezsn ot as pretty chickens as you have ever
seen.” Hence the joke.
Ths Natc3AL’zxtion Bill. —The following is
the text of the bill to amend the naturalization
laws, now pending in Congress :
‘•Ba it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of Aaieri

of Cougress relating to naturalization be and

Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That
