Mexico

The agricultura] resources of Mexico re arrauged according to the three limatic zones, viz : Tbe Calienta, (bot) templada, (températe) and Frió, (cold.) The Calienta is coufined withiu tbe iinits of tbo growth of tbe eugar cane, which, on the eastern slope, reacbea an altitude of 3,200 feet above the sea. Chis región lies between the coast and uplands, and has a temperatura averaging 77. The trade wind laden with moisture froui its long passage across ,he ocean, pusses over these plains and aloug the slopes, making this climate rich in all the tropical products. The Templada, with its perpetual spriDg, occupies the elevated slopes above tho alütude of 3,000 íeet, and has an average temperature of 68. It posgessen the salubrious climato of our State ia sumnier, aud yields all the varieties of cereals of our Northern States. The Frió embraces the tablo lands. From its great elevation aod want of proper nourishment, it ia devoted principally to grazing - the cultivatioa of grains receiving but little attention. With all these fine and peculiar agricultural advantages, the substantial wealth of Moxico lies in her mineral resources, which when developed, will rival California and Australia conibined. Argentiferous veins erop out in profusión along the entire slope of the moun taina on the Pacific coast in the States of Sonora and Oaxaca; tho proven riohes of the silver mines of Bolanon, Balopilas and Chihuahua, and the rich gold veins recently developed along the Gulf of California, but abandoned for want of modern soience in inining. These, togetber with the extensiva iroo and coal deposite of the southern border, are only waiting for a system of communication by rail, the introduction of onterprise, capital, and the modern arts in miniug, to complete the picture sketched by the Freach Eraperor nearly five years ago. The geographical position of Mexico is enviable, being ouly 137 miles trom ocean to ocean ucross her southeru border, with a summit of 650 faet. She can, by railroad and with a limited capital, open tho gate to cornmerce between Europe and Asia. There is but one reascn why this nation ia not among the "healthy" powers, and that is degeneraron mado more degenenite by half a contury of civil war. The Government was never a republic save in name. The principies governing werc monarchical and anarchiea!. Tbo relative position of the aiistocracy and the lower classes is but another form of slavery ; the former with largo territor itil estutes - beir-looms of generationB, are arrogant, üliberal and despotio to the lower classes.
