A part of this correspondence we sliU
tako tho 'trouble to tranaloto for tho benefit
of our readers' aa disclosing tho fact that the
outlaw Cortina is still at thu'hend of a band
of men that Tho'i's still on tho frontier and
that the so called advocates of law and or
der in one of the Stated immediately cotiti-
cuous to us think' hi? acrvicos of fiulJicjent
importance to desire the co-pcration of this
robber and liisjfol lowers' with them. Tlio
flrstilcltor is fronf Aramborri to Francisco
Gomez Valdiz. dated Auguat 15 and in re
ply to ope from thaCofUctfr anuppricihg we
utniose. the olfer. lie aayt.:
"In respect to Cortinaa I asauroyou that
I dn not conceive that he has offended or
violated any Mexican laws hud least of all
thoso of Nuovo'Lcon and Coahuilnj that for
this no matter what lie may havoVjono in
thOfUcighboflngnatiou hI think there is no
legal reason jto deny to him thoso guaranties
which tlio Constitution accord to nil inha-

will both hold 3 ourselves ready for inyor?

Tho next is dated Mutamoras 24tli Aug
and is from Simon do la Garza y Melo to

Then follows a lettor from Gen. Gorcin
himself to Don Francisco Gmneas dated Afa
tamoraa Aug. 18 We like the manly f pirjt
of this letter of Gen.'GnreiA it wpealcs the
sentiments of a conscientious ofilciul and a
good neighbor ho aayt:

"You aro mvore that tho authorities of

letter above referred to.

reflection I am satisfied the act would not
have been done. Helleve yourself then from

good sons ol Nuevo Leon will havo gained
miichj to neglect this your expose tho tuc-
cess of your prcotnsions and oven the hap-

Tho changes wiiich have taken place be-
tween 1850 and 18G0in the economic condi-
tion of our country are very great In that
period the gold mines havo bern discovered
in California and Australia. In 1810 we
bad 4 piper circulation to SI of speck; in
1850 only $3 to 61; in 1SC0 less than $2 to
SI. In 1849 the product 'of precious metals
was 95 000000; in 1859 it was G-1000
000. The whole amount now in the woi Id
ia is-timnted at 10000.000000. of which
Mix-tenths is silver. It wasalways sjpposed
that a Midden increase in tho quantity of
money increases pi ices. This lias not proved
ttue form spite of the iiiliux of ohl and in
spite of tho repetfi'- v? au
which has enabled us to c.porV imtn ense
quantities of Hour and grain prices in gener-
al aro lower and wngs higher 0;ui they
overworn before. Tables show tiVat prices
generally during forty years wero highest in
1837 and lowest about about 1843. Flour
was so scarco in 1847 that we imported $5.-
000 000; it's average pi ice for forty yeais has
been SO 54 per barrel. The sale of Tea has
increased in Twenty-live years fiom 13.000
000 to 30.000.000 pounds; the average price
for tint period has been forty-eight cents
tho Cotton crop has increased in forty year
from 108000000 ilbs. to 1 800.000:000 lbs
A great demand for Ilnadstulfs from 1850
to 1857 occasioned by railway labor and
tho repeal of tho Untish Corn laws kept
prices generally on the advance; but in 1857
on account of the abundant crops the slack-
ening of tho shipping and railway interests
and a glmted cotton market a downward
tendency prevailed. Ouroxfor(s of Hread-
stulls from 150 to 18C0 were S48000O-
000. Prices do not srem generally to bo ef-
fected by tho fluctuations ofTper'ul'roncv
in 1849 thc-bank note circulation was 8110-
