Gadsden, of South Carolina, whp died at his residence in Charleston on thd 20th of December, last, aged sixty years. Appointed Minister Plenipotentiary apd Envoy Extraordinary of the United States tq Mexico, in 1853, General Gadsden's name is chiefly associated with tho Treaty executed in 1854, between1 Mexico and the United States. That instrument, is genornlly known as the "Gadsden Treaty." under its provisions, the boundary-line between the two countries was definitely settled, a Commission Was appointed to survey the line, and tho Cth arid 7th articles of the Treaty of Gaudaloupd-'Hidalgo were abrogated; Mexico granting tho free navigation of the Colorado river, and the Gulf of California; also, relinquishing her title to the proposed territory of Arizona'.

Mining News. The Sonora Exploring Mining Company, Major S. P. lleintzelman, under the superintendence of Mr.

S. H. Lathrop, is obtaining from one furnace only ton indhes square, between three and four hundred qpnees of silver per week. They have nearly completed extensive amalgamation works costing some thirty thousand dollars this week they have got the first silver from these works. Whop in full op-oration they will reduco about three tons of ore in twenty-four hours.

Tho company are working, over one hundred men, most of them on the famous lleintzelman vein. Their main shaft is sunk seventy feet, the orp and vein continuing uniform some of the ore yields as high as top thousand dollars to the ton none has been smelted yielding less than nine hundred. The poorer ore is reduced by the barrel amalgamation process. The San Xavier Mining Company, Maj. Allen, was one of tiie first to commence work.

The mine is situated some fifteen miles from Tuoson, and near tho old San Xavier Mission it is thought to bo quite rich, but has never been worked to any advantage, as the owners have given it but little or no attention, assuming that all they had to do was to send out a' Mining Director who should by next stage send back sjly'er, They Jrnve found' that mining silver is quite different from mining gold. The Santa Rita Company, Win. Wrightson, have ppcnedthpql''Salcro, mine, opco c'Urated, fpr its riphness thrpughouti tliis; re gion, and are also sinking several other shafts near tho Salero. Buildings are also being erected afid piepiiratiofiis'inadd for extensive operations. tj The Patagonia Mining Company, Col.

Douglass Superintendent, are progressing with fine success. They have a deep shaft sunk, and over one hundred tons of ore out of the ground. The smelting works will soon bo in operation. The Union Exploring Mining Company, Col. Titus, have, two' amines opened, namely the Trench and tho Compadre.

Both these mines were once worked by tho JdW uits, with great success! The company are pushing their explorations vigorously, and havo discovered several other valuable veins. Late news from the Gila gold mines is not very encouraging. Many miners are leaving) some for California and some for Pike's Peak. Some Exploring parties have started tip the Gila, hoping to find better diggings if not disturbed by Indians, these parties will probably be successful, as, there is no, doubt gold on tho upper waters of the OHa. he, Santa Fe Gazette, contains notice of a new concern called the "Fort Fillmore Mining Company," capital stock one million dolJ lars, formed to work the "Stephenson mine," near Las Cruzes.

A new silver mine, said to very rich, hasbcqn discovered in the Papago country, about ty miles from Tubac, and a company will soon be' formed to work it. Mexican House Thieves.

On the 16th ult.f, five Mexican horse-thieves visited the Soporl Ranche and stole five horses and one mule, belonging to C. Dodson and Col. Douglass. The same night a valuable horse was stolen from the Ccrro Colorado mine. A party sent Lilt, succeeded in retaking tho-horse stolen from Cerrp Colorado, and captured two of the thieves; one, named Roques, is notorious as a bold and expert horse-thief.

Both are in jail at Siroca, a town in Sonora. Thd horses belonging to Mr; Dodso.l were' also captured, but left at Siroca. Nq'ching but the most sum-, mnry measures will put a stop to these depredations by Mexican thieves. If citizens would adopt tlie plan of shooting, on sight, all strango and suspicious Mexicans found lurking about, their premises, it would doubtless havo a sulu-tarv effect.

Tho Mescalaro Apaches have violated their promises made to tho Indian Agent, and again commenced stealing. Lieut.

Lazell, who yns shot through the bqdy. It would be well, before making another glass bead and cheap calico treaty with' these Indians, to give them a handsome threshing.

It is very probablo that this afiair will create trouble, with the Coyotoro and Pinal Apaches, and may cause an extensive campaign against tho whole Apache Nation. There will be no permanent peace with these Indians until their country is invaded and they taught a lasting lesson of decency. Mil House 'Thief Killed.
