HT" An arrival from Bio Janierowith dates
to the 10th of April reports that the election
of members to the Buenos Ayrean Legisla-
ture attended with great disorder. The
ballot boxes were broken and revolutionary
binds encountered each other in the streetsand
aereral lives were lost A. terrible storm took
place at Mendoza in which twenty persons
were killed and property destroyed to the
amount of half a million of dollars. Some
of the most prominent persons hare been ex-
pelled by the government causing much
alarm among the people of J&onta video.

E7- We learn from Maj. Buel the contrac-
tor on the Houston' Riilroa d that the iron to
Jinisk the first sanction of twenty-five miles
will be shipped from Boston on a steam pro
peller on the 10th inst without fail and may
be expected here about the 19th inst MaJ.B.
infcSfcis ns that the ties are all now ready for
"the iron for the whole distance (twenty-five
miles) and that the road will be completed
by the 4th of July unless some unforeseen
accident befalls the steamer with the iron.
The character of Maj. Buel for energy
stands so high that our doubts of his being
able to complete this road in the short time
allowed under the charter hare been measur-
ably removed by his assurances.
Co rn me nt to H. A. Cobb. The Lafay-
ette Hook and Ladder Company of San
Francisco recently presented a gold medal to
their foreman H- A. Cobb formerly of Gal-
veston. It appears that some time ago a
resolution was adopted by the Board of Dele-
gates excluding all persons not ritiiena of
the United States from the fire department
but subsequently it was repealed. The effect
of the resolution would have been to break up
the Lafayette Company which the Herald
says is among the most efficient in the Depart-
ment. The testimonial to Mr. Cobb was in-
tended as an acknowledgment of his services
in maintaining the organization of the com-
pany. We learn with much pleasure that notwith-
standing frequent reverses Mr. Cobb has been
very successful in business One of his late
transactions was a sale of real estate In San
Francisco to the amount of $700000 which is
the largest single sale we hare heard of and
was completed in two days.

IE?" We understand our City Council has
appropriated $100 to aid in celebrating the
4th of July in an appropriate manner.
Different City Councils appear to place
very different estimates upon that day. The
authorities of Charlestown Mass. quite a
wealthy commercial city enjoying the bene-
fits of a United States Navy Yard with the
annual disbursement of vast sums from the
United States Treasury and also honored
with the monument of Bunker's Hill appro-
priated the large sum of sixty dollars for the
same purpose! while Jersey city set aside
$10W to commemorate the anniversary or our
national independence.
Q"An indignation meeting was held in
Cincinnati on the 27th nit. presided over by
Judge Pkobisco. Speeches were made by
Col. Lane and others and resolutions passed
declaring that Mr. Brooks should be expelled
for his attack on Scxker. Dispatches giving
an account of the destruction of Lawrence
were read and caused intense excitement
Was Steamers. A correspondent of the
New York Courier and Enquirer argues that
Congress should build small war steamers for
the protection of our commerce. Such vessels
are much wanted at present in the Chinese
seas as the Chinese Government is unable to
protect foreign vessels from the extortions of
provincial officials or the depredations of
pirates who swarm upon the coast

Arr-ROVAL of Mb. Brooks. The Columbia
South Carolinian states that on the reception
of the news of Mr. Brooks' chastisement of
Mr. Scvxeb a moid enthnsjatie meeting was
convened in the town of Newberry and reso-
lutions passed complimentary to Mr. BeookS-
The meeting voted him a gold-headed cane.
In Columbia a handsome sum had been sub.
scribed for the purpose of presenting Mr.
Brooks with a silver goblet pitcher and
stick. The Carolinian says:
Meetings of approval and sanction will be
held not only in Mr. Brooks district but
throughout the State at large and a general
and hearty response of approval will re-echo
the words "Well done from Washington to

Nicaragua. The despatch giving the
news brought by the Orizaba proves the pre-
vious report of Walker's defeat to have been
untrue On the contrary he had arrived safe
at Virgin Bay and the Costa Ricans had left
the State.
The Orizaba also brings the pleasing intel
ligence that there was no attempt made or
likely to be made.on toe part or toe British na
val forces at San Juan to prevent the land-
inr of recruits for Gen. Walker's little army.
It b statedthat the British officers express the
most neaccful intentions towards Nicaragua
ad all who are going thither; and the result
ofthese manifestations has been the departure
of the American squadron from the vicinity
of San Juan.

Northera Slavery -Later and Capital.
We hare lately seen a published speech de-
livered in New Haven by a Virginian which
we think contains a true and philosophical
analysis of the mutual relations which the la-
boring class and capitalists bear to each other
in all free States. In all such States there is
a constant struggle with the laboring classes to
obtain a subsistence the more Intelligent be
ing sometimes able to advance above the con-
dition of laborers by placing themselves In
the rank of capitalists Bnt then somebody
else must supply their places as laborers ; for
this there is an imperative necessity in a
fixed law or nature; for their labor must be
performed by somebody or all would perish
and without labor capital itself would be
worthless. No one conld subsist a day on cap-
ital without labor ; and yet the laborer is too
often opposesed by and even made the slare
of capital.
The opponents of slave labor say that the
free laborer has the privilege of elevating
himself above the necessity of labor. That is
true and yet if he succeeds somebody else
mwt take his place. If he lives without la-
boring himself it is only because he is able to
live on the labor of others. The privilege of
releasing himself from labor is therefore
only Xht privilege of making others labor for
him. While the people of the North claim
bis privilege of commanding the labor of oth-
ersas one of the chief blessings of frecdomthey
condemn the people of the South for doing the
same thing. The difference Is only this : The
people of the North can command the services
of the laborer as long as he is able to work
and then throw him upon the State for snp-
port when he is no longer able to work;
nhile the people of the South Lave to support
their laborers and all their families in sickness
and old age; and not only this but theyaie
held responsible by oar laws for their moral
deportment so that oar slave laborers can
rarely ever become a tax to the State by fil-
ling our jails and penitentiaries as they do
at the North. Poor-houses are unknown
we believe throughout the South.
A writer in the Richmond Enquirer says
truly that to be without property trade or
profession in a free society is to be " a slave
without the rights of a Blave:M There capital
Is the master and controls the labor of thous
ands. Next to the large property holder
stand artists and professional men who can
command ten or even a hundred days1
work of the laborer who produces the neces-
saries of life with one day's work of their
own those being the most honored who can
command the- most labor of others for the
least of their own. We have often thought
that there is no subject In regard to which so
many popular errors exist a in relation to
the real condition of laboring clases in differ-
ent countries. The distinctions are merely
nominal; in Mexico. borers are called pconsin
Russia serfs in Asia coolies and the British
Government has given the name of apprentu
cts to the laborers in some of her colonies while
in our free States they are called operatives
in the factories and A in the field : and who
knows but that the whole of this slavery agi
tation might be gotten rid of if we in the
South should eubstitute some other name for
our laborers ? For instance suppose we were
to substitute the apprentice system of England
making the term of apprenticeship 99 years;
or we might adopt the peonage of Mexico by
which the slaves could still be held in the
same bondage as now under a real or as-
sumed indebtedness to their master. In eith-
er of these cases the master would have the
same services as at present and that too
without the obligation of providing for them
in sickness and old age. It is the nam of
slavery and nothing else with which the abo-
litionists are quarreling.
03" A friend who is an adrocate of the cor-
porate system of railroads has handed us an
article from the New Orleans Bulletin headed
"a well managed railroad" and which will be
found in another column)as a convincing proof
that some private railroads are well managed
and profitable. We admit the fact and we will
also admit that if our own citizens were able
to build railroads in Texas with their own
money as they have done In Georgia they
would be very likely to manage them so as to
make them pay provided they could be made
to pay with auy amount of charges below the
rates of wagon transportation.
We believe also as the Bulletin says that
it is a great advantage to the State of Georgia
that her railroads are owned by her own citi-
zens so that the profits are retained at home
instead or being aent abroad "to swell the
fortunes of foreign capitalists." Docs any
body suppose that the people of Texas can
build railroads for this immense State vritk
their own money so that their profits and the
land bonuses and the State loans may not go
"to swell the fortunes of foreign capitalists' ?
The time may come when it can be done but
the present generation will not live to see it
In this connection It may be well to bear in
mind a fact of some importance while speak-
ing of the profits of Georgia railroads. The
corporate roads of that State are certainly in-
debted to the State road extending from At-
lanta through the mountains into Tennessee
for no small share of their profits. That great
State road has opened the door for an im-
mense trade from the "Great West" which
has prob2b!y doubled the business of the
"Georgia Railroad connecting with it at At-
lanta and is increasing rapidly every year;
and it should be remembered that this is the
very road whose high degree of prosperity is
here referred to by the Bulletin. But that
State road which has given so much business
to nearly all the other roads in Georgia never
would have been built by any private compa-
ny with tbeir own money any more than the
roads in Texas can be and for the same rea-
sonbecause it would not pay at the time
when built It was too expensive for private
enterprise. While speaking of the superior
wisdom and great success of Georgia in rail-
road enterprises it should not be forgotten
that that State has long since repudiated the
loaning policy.
A.Will Managed Railbobd. The rail-
roads ol Georgia hare as every one knows
made that State tbe most flourishing and pro-
gressive of all tbe Southern States. Covering
her entire surface like a web or piece of net
work intersecting each other at every promi-
nent point and uniting her extreme Northern
and Southern Eastern and Western bounda-
ries the railroads in the "Empire State of the
South" the proud title she has bo justly won
and so worthily wears have been the effective
means and instruments of developing the
resources or the State and arousing the ener-
gies and enterprise of their people.
The railroads of Georgia are model works
in another point of view. In the first place
they are owned exclusively (wc believe with
but one exception) by the people of the State
so that whatever profits are realized by them
inure to the benefit of the home population
and are not sent out of the State to swell the
fortunes of foreign capitalists. An inevitable
consequence resulting from this peculiar char-
acter of ownership is that these roads are
managed economically honestly and efficient-
ly the directors being immediately responsi-
ble to the people their fellow citizens and
neighbors who are the stockholders and who
are vigilant and scrutinizing supervisors and
guardians of their own interests.
The two principal Georgia roads the "Cen-
tral leading from Savannah to Macon one
hundred and ninety-one miles and the "Geor
gia- irom Angusia io Atlanta one nunurea
and serenty miles have had each of them but
two Presidents since they were first built
Richard H. Cuyler and John P. King gentle-
men of unsurpassed administrative talents
have been at the head of these respective
roads for the last fifteen years and the ability
and fidelity with which they have conducted
the affairs of these two companies are signally
illustrated in their increased and increasing
businees and the handsome diridends declared.
Wc have now before us the official report of
tiie xTCHueut ana isircctors oi tue "ueorgta
Railroad" which represents the affairs of tbe
Company in a most prosperous condition as
tbe following few items abundantly show:

ance of nett profits 31st of March last $629
110 63. Oat of this two dividends have been
paid amounting to $311700 00 which leaves
the present Reserved Eund $317411 C3.
As the construction account has been closed
for years and all expenditures for new work
increased outfit etc charred upon income.
this is a tangible available surplus and can
be appropriated as the exigencies of the Com
pany may require.
These figures show most conclusively how
efficiently the business of the Company has
been managed.

Me. William IL Rhodes formerly of Gal-

private Secretary to the Governor of Califor-

majorities of the late Legislature and my

Editorial Correspondence.
Beenham June 2d 1856.
I left Houston yesterday morning at six
o'clock by the cars which brought us out
thirteen and a half miles in something less
than half an hour to the terminus where the
stages were iu waiting. Being Sunday mor.
ning it was quite an exciting sight at the
depot where nearly half Houston had turned
out to take a trip out and back on the rail-
way before breakfast. All seemed highly
pleased with the arrangements which in tbe
absence of regular passenger cars were much
better than might have been expected. There
was a perfect jam of passengers and many
who could not find seats had to stand but no
Inconreniencewas experienced as tbe motion of
the cars is scarcely perceptible when going at
a good rate of speed and the novelty of a ride
in the railway was of itself sufficient to make
all feel happy and contented. The Governor
made one of the party and was honored with
a seat next the president of the road who
acted as conductor on the occasion an office
which he filled as though he had been used to
it before. So far as I was able to judge I
should pronounce the road to be equal to any
I ever traveled on in the North. Though the
cars were without springs we experienced no
oscillating motion but could read the smallest
print with perfect ease and the speed wc
made the entire distance was equal to thirty
miles an hour. On reaching tho terminus we
took the stage forBrenhara the distance being
under sixty miles which we accomplished in
the short space of nineteen hours and a half
reaching here about two this morninc. after a
most tedious and unpleasant journey avera-
ging about three miles an hour. If anything
be neccsary to convince a skeptic on the
subject or railways as to their immediate
necessity let him take the trip I did yesterday
most of the time under the scorching rays of
the sun and enveloped in a cloud of dust We
had but three changes the entire route the
teams averaging about twenty mile each
which is nea rly double the distance they should
go in such weather. Along th- route I noticed
the crops to be much in need of a rain espe-
cially the cotton which has not yet got a good
start. The corn generally looks very well but
would be much improved by a few showers of
rain. The river was In good boating order at
the town site of Warren where we crossed
but there bad been no boat up for some time.
The citizens of Chappell Hill as well as this
place are deeply interested in the success of
the Houston Road and a considerable stir is
being made in this part of the county to con-
nect with it at the firty mile terminus on the
other side of the river for which a charter
has been already granted. The distante to
Brenham is but twenty miles and the steps
that are being taken to get subscriptions have
been so far very successful. A large Barbecue
will be held on the I4th when the subject
will be fully discussed and it is expected reso
lutions will be adopted to commence the
work forthwith. Though nearly all with
whom I heve conversed in this section seem
to regard the loaning policy as best suited to
our present exigencies I have heard but little
urged against the State Plan and Teel assured
If an able exponent of the system were to
come here he could get up a considerable
reaction in Its favor. Many who regarded it
a year ago as wholly impracticable are now
willing to admit we may have to come to it at
last; and had six months more to elapse
beiore the meeting of the Legislature I have
little doubt there would be a change in public
sentiment on this question that would aston-
ish its warmest and most sanguine advocates.
How far railways are needed in this section is
evidenced by the fact that Brenham with all
the advantages it possesses as an inland
town situated in the centre of a rich and
thickly settled planting neighborhood re-
mains just the same it was three years aco.
when I last visited it But few improvements
are visible though its citizens are not lackinr
in enterprise but the great drawback is the
cott of transportation and the difficulties of
ready communication with the coast. Sixty
miles in nineteen hours by stage when the
road are said to be in good traveling order
is explanation sufficient While no state In
the Union in so ill adapted to staging as
Texas nou possesses the same facilities for
building railroads or needs them so much :
yet by pursuing a wrong course we have
frittered away year after year in fruitless
efforts to accomplish something and all we
have to show after years of labor and
thousands spent in legislating on the subject
Is a few miles or road pushed through by
almost superhuman efforts to save their char-
ters from being forfeited which leaves us
little better in the way of accommodation
that when we started.
My old friend McIntyre is busyercctlug a
jail In the public square more for use than
ornament I should say judging from its pres-
ent appearance. It is built of logs roughly
hewn but put together in a very substantial
form and will serve the purpose admirably
tor wmcb it is intended. He has also bought
out the hotel at the corner and is now keeping
both houtcs where he has plenty of accommo-
dation for all who may come along. These arc
the only changes I have noticed since my last
visit and they arc scarcely worth recording.
as all who travel this way know where to find
Mac and those who want lodging in the jail
will be apt to have a conductor along.

7b die Citizens of JVru? Orleans:
Whereas having received authentic reports
from many of the precincts of the city that
bands of lawless men have taken possession of
the several polls and are preventing by vio-
lence and Intimidation peaceful citizens from
exercising the electoral franchise; and the
police being completely disorganized from re-
signations and refusals to do duty; I there-
fore as Mayor of this city call upon all good
citizens immediately to repair to the office and
enroll themselves as a body of special police
to preserve and maintain order.

About twenty only responded to his call.
and the city for tbe balance of the day and
night was entirely in tbe power of an armed
gang who bad taken possession of eftry poll
in the city at 11 oVlock and no man be he
native or American dare vote the Democratic
ticket except at the risk of his life. But few
made the attempt and many of them paid for
their temerity. At but one poll did they meet
with any resistance ana mat wasomymomen-
tary. Those who were shot and wounded
were unarmed and unresisting. The follow-
ing extract is a fair sample of their wanton
cruelty:
Another Max Shot. A Portuguese named
Manuel Jacinto was passing through the Veg-
etable Market about half-past 10 o'clock laBt
night when he was met by a party of men
unkowntohim one of whom seized him by
the neck and looked at him very hard in tho
face. After a while he let go his hold saying
"he is not one of them." Some one in the
crowd cried out "d nhlm he speaks like
an Italian; give it him.' On this a pistol
shot was fired at him from the crowd and the
ball taking effect lodged in the right thigh.
The wounded man was carried to the Chanty
Hospital where he now lies In a very precari-
ous situation.
A house was attacked iu the Third District
and two Sicilians were killed. One of them
was completely riddled with pistol bullets.
The victims with those who are likely to die
of their wounds will number about eight
You may naturally ask where were our police?
I saw some of them myself wearing their
" Crescents" (the badge of police) most con-
spicious amongst tne lawless.
Bhadft of "Richard Cocur de Lion!" to
think that men should behave so under the
" Crescent. By the returns I see that the
entire vote of the city was six or seven thou-
sand below its average legal vote showing
conclusively that one half of our citizens did
not or durst not exercise that right dear to
every citizen. I need scarcely say the Ameri-
can ticket Is elected throughout.
The examination of the "New Orleans
Female Collegiate Institute
has been going
on for the last few days and last cvenin
their
Annual Musical Soiree and distribution of
prizes took place at Odd Fellows Hall In
presence of an audience of about two thou-
sand. I had the good fortune to be present
and I have never spent an evening more pleas-
antly. The Institute is under the direction of
Dr.and Mrs. Macault and the proficiency
of the ladies reflects much credit on them-
selves and teachers. It (the Institute) has
been in operation many years. It is a purely
Southern Institution and what they cannot
teach that a young lady ought to know no
one need go the other side of Mason's and
Dixon's line to learn. I offer no apology for
making these remarks as it is a matter that
interests every friend of the South and cdaca
tion.
Your Jackson Mississippi correspondent
"the Captain" I noticed in your number of
the 27th May comes down ou J. B in such a

most; in short "the Captain" Is so completely
on the fence that if 1 charge htm on either
side he can dodge by getting down on the
opposite. I will simply ask " if that be the
beat the Captain can do ? ' Yours always

The Cairo and Fulton and the Southern Tncilic
Knllroadi.
A friend has sent us a long letter written
by Roswell Beebe President of the Cairo
and Pulton Railroad Company explaining ful-
ly and to all appearance truly th a present
condition of that company.
According to Mr. Bee he's statement wc
bhould think the prospects of this company
very encouraging. He gives the total amount
of lands granted by Congress and by the
State of Missouri and Arkansas as 199-1080
acres which is valued at $5 00 per acrcmaking
$9470400 ; to which he adds private subscrip
tions. $350000 and Missouri State bonds au-
thorized to be issued to tbe amount of S250.0W
making a total of present means. $10070100
Against this he places the engineers esti
mate of the cost of the road 5.755S34 1 show
ing an execs of means over the cost of $2-
512059. Mr. Beebe goes on to point out the
various advantages of the Galveston and He d
River railroad with the Iron Mountain rail
road and with the New Orleans and Opelou-
sas railroad. Of the Gait est on and Red Rivir
railroad Mr. Beebe thus speaks :
This road will connect on the line ditiv
ding Arkansas and Texas near rouon wun
the " Galveston and Bed River ra1luay
which creates the proposed Pacific road on or
near the 32d parallel of north latitude now
iu process of construction from Houston on
the navigable waters of the bay of Galveston
having 1C sections or 10 210 acres of laud
granted by Texas to each mile of road com-
pleted the work is in the hands of a good
compiny of practical bu.incs-t men and my
with the start they hat c now (25 miles gra-
ded upon which the company are now laying
down the iron rails locomotive and cars on
the ground) under good management 1m
completed in a few yean.. The reports of the
company with charter etc 1 transmit which
with the papers previously referred toT will
give you much valuable information.
Mr. Besbe however does not speak as if he
anticipated much benefit from connecting
with the Southern Pacific railroad but com
ments iu rather disparaging terms of that com
pany He says that company wa first or-
ganized as the Atlantic and Pacific Railro.td
Company in 1S5.I by electing Mr. Cuatfield
President and tbe first thing they did was to
"set about negotiating to monopolize all the
railroad charters in Texas which they supposed
would in other bauds conflict with their
plans. They succeeded in contracting for the
Memphis and El Paso and Pacific railroad
charter for $100000 paid-stock in the Atlantic
and Pacific company.' He aUo says they got
possession of the Texas Western railroad char-
ter under which they arc now endeavoring to
operate under a new organization Ex-Governor
Dimond of Rhode Island being now the
President. Mr. Beebe contends that under
the Texas Western railroad charter this com-
pany connot claim more than tbe original 8
additonal sections on certain conditions to
any of our companies. Upon some investiga-
tion we have come to the conclusion that Mr.
Beebe is mistaken in this opinion. Tbe 2d
proviso of the 12th section of this Act express-
ly declares that no company shall receive the
additional 8 sections unless 25 miles of their
road shall have been completed within two
years after its passage and these two years
expired the 20th of January last
Under this limitation Mr. Beebe concludes
this company hae lost their right to the 8
additional sections. The 3d proviso makes a
distinction between roads terminating on the
Gulf or bays connected with the Gulf and all
other roads. This proviso is iu these words
" provided that the proviso herein contained
shall not extend to any railroad the termi-
nus of which is not fixed on the Gulf coast
the bays thereof or on Buffalo Bayou" Ac.
The express object of this as wc learn from
a member present was to release the Pacific
Railroad Company from the restrictions of
the preceding proviso giving them the S ad-
ditional sections witbont requiring the 23
milts to be completed in the two years but
giving them all the time of the original char-
ter. This favor was shown to that company
on the ground that having no connection
with the Gulf it would be impossible for them
to get tbe iron on the spot in so short a time
We believe their original charter gnes them
6 years to build 20 miles that is to January
30th 1853. But we understand they had a
sill passed at the last session requiring them
to only grade the 20 miles in the 6 years.
That bill wc learn is now in the hands of the
Governor for his approval. We give the fol-
lowing additional remarks of Mr. Beebe
touching tuts company whose unanciennz
has taken then hole country by surprise :
Bv recent statements in the newsnaers. pub
lished in the vicinity of the work it appears
there are 26 hands at work on the road and
not 140 as previously reported- Of the amount
of paid stock represented to have been issued
1 have no knowledge nor do I know whether
such stock was issued for a valid considera
tion or not. This information you can ou
tain from another source.
Yon seem to think yourself and friends may
make a handsome speculation by taking $20.-
000 of stock of that company upon which the
calls can never exceeu j per cent or m.uuu
in the aggregate. I have no wish to discour-
age you or to place a single obstacle in the
way of any railroad proposed to be built to
unite the Atlantic and Pacific oceans; indeed
we are all in favor of such a road if it can be
built; capital however docs not seem inclined
to touch it Upon any of the proposed plans
now before the country many have already ta-
ken occasion to condemn tbe Texas Western
railroad scheme as one of the mo3t magnifi-
cent bubbles of the day which they say may
succeed for a season iu bringing many within
its folds but which like c erything else based
upon false principles is sure to succumb at
last Without however offering an opinion a
matter of very secondary importance I pre-
sume to offer a few words of advice examine
the subject in all its bearings before yon em-
bark in it.
That you may judge for yourself I have
given you facts as 1 understand them and
leave you to draw your own conclusions ; they
arc believed to be sufficiently correct so far
as presented for all practical purposes which
I presume no one well informed upon the sub-
ject will attempt to controvert.
It Is intimated in your letter that the ad-
ministrative affairs of Cairo and Fulton com-
pany are in some way connected with the
Texas Wsstern company. It is therefore
proper that I should disabuse you of this er-
ror by distinctly stating the tact to be that
there is no agreement or understanding of the
kind nor has there ever been so far as we arc
concerned. Efforts were made by certain par-
ties in 1853 to get control of our charter with
the view as supposed to tie It up as they
had done in Texas but it failed of sneccss.
Tlie Co n dlt ion of Texns.
We copy tbe following statements based on
the Comptroller's report from the State Ga-
zttte :
During the last four years the assessed
acres of land have increased eight millions of
acres per year while tbe value of said land
has been increased to ticcntyfivt millions of
dollars1 or at the rate of jix and a quarter
millions of dollars per year.
We have examined the reports of several
States of the Union and we are at liberty to
say that this is an astonishing increase and
vastly beyond the rates of lands assessed in
any Southern State.
The average value of land per acre tt Inch in
1652 was only 87 1-2 cents is now $128.
The number of negroes assessed have increased
in the last four years tu-enty-seren thousand
and a value equal to twenty-three millions of
dollars added to the slave capital of the State.
We turn to the census and find that in 1850
there were only fifty thousand slaves in the
State. Here then In fire years wc have more
than doubled our slave population. Can any
State of the Union show a similar condition of
things ? Not one.
Daring the ten years preceding 1S50 our
slave population Increased 18 per cent ; Arkan-
sas Increased I3G per cent; Missouri 50 per
cent; Mississippi 58 per cent Florida 52 per
cent; Louisiana 45 ner cent : Alabama 35 per
cent Georgia 35 percent; Tennessee 30 per ct. I
ana in an me otner slave states tuc increase
was less than 20 per cent! in the past five
years we have surpassed all our sister States.
We exhibit an increase iu our slave population
of one-hundred and forty two per cent over
the increase of Missusippi asshown by the last
census and after our own State and Arkan-
sas Mississippi then showed a greater increase
than any other southern State
While our horses and cattle hare not in-
creased mach orcr C00000 their value has in-
creased nine millions of dollars ! In 1853 the
average assessed value per head was $782now
it is $1048.
The increase in the value of other property
such as town lots money at interest Ac has
gone up from eleven millions of dollars in 1852
to twenty millions of dollars in 1855.

We have thus shown that the increased val-
ue of our property in the State upon which
assessment is made is nearly sixty-nine mil-
lions of dollars nnHthat it baa made this as-
tonishing increase in the last four years '
In another year making half a decade from
1852 the value of the whole taxable property
in the State will have doubled since lb55.
While we congratulate the State on this fa-
vorable state of things under a Democratic ad-
ministration of affairs a state of things which
will make a favorable showing with the most
rapidly populating State of the Uuion we hope
it will arrest the attention of tbe people of
other States and prove to them that in the
lands ol the State of Texas is now to be found
the best investment of any in the Union. Wc
present no exaggerated picture and our own
oponle will be natisfied that with some exer
tion on the part of the State in aid of rail-
roaus we snail in a lew years nau uur&eia
with ctirli An incrraBed canital and DODulation
as to be able to carry on those great woiks of
Improvement on a scaie commensurate mm
our wants. What we now want are some well
devised general trunk roads and private en-
terprise with timely State aid will accomplish
it with entire security to the funds of the State.
Wb arp Tpallv not aware of the swift pro
gress we are making in all the elements of
wealth. With but half the resources five years
ago railroads and other great improvements
were evidently matters of doubt and distrust.
Now the demands of commerce require and
will command from capitalists what not even
prodigal bonuses of land have Influenced in

The Riots in New Orleans. The Delta
attributes the commencement of the riots in
Hew Orleans on the 2d Inst to the American
party. There are of course contradictory itate-
ments as regards which party aggrc3ed.
The riot at the polls on Orleans street was
the most serious of the day's disturbances.
The Delta gives the origin of this affair as
follows :
A naturalized citizen (a Sicilian) who did
not speak French very well was replying to
some queries from one of the challengers hut
not doing bo correctly a comrade of bid
answered for him whereupon one of the chal-
lengers cursed him and wished to know what
business had he in interfering and struck him
and immediately after drew his revolver. A
Seneral fight then commenced during which
r. Trepagnier Clerk of the First District
uoartjgoisnottwoor three times In the leg
and stabbed in two places. Wc understand h'n
watch-guard saved him from receh Ing a fatal
wound. Louis Charvet. a vonne hwror nn.l
Mr. Larose were stabbed at the same time: the
laiter we ueiiere very seriously.
The Sicilians were pursued to No. 121 Old
Levee street and two of them shot. The Pi'c
ayune's statement represents the Sicilians as
having been tbe first to shoot.
At night bands of lawless men paraded the
streets and committed various acts of violence.
The most of the bar-room3 were closed during
the day but several of them were kept open
notwithstanding the Mayor's request. The
Coroner's jury which investigated the cause
of the death of the two Sicilians made a state-
ment In which all hut two concurred that these
men were killed by persons unknown to the
jurors in consequence of a blooJy riot which
occurred during the election held at the poll
In Orleans street on Monday 2d inst. and in
which riot the said individuals killed appear1
from the testimony laid before the jury to
have participated and acted in concert with
the aggressors.
LyWe learn from the Picayune that a
number of men were to leave Xew Orleans to-
day on tbe steamer Granatin to join Walk-
er. It says:
We regret to hear that the number of those
who designed going out fn this steamer has
bfen diminished by the lack of means to pro-
vide them all with free passage to San Juan
They were Kentuckians and they came to
this city with the understanding that they
were to be forwarded by those having the
management of affairs here. Still there was
a goodly number of brave and determined fel-
lows who determined to "stick by the ship
and they will be found on the day or embark-
ation every man to the roll-call.
For New Mexico A party of twelve men
recently passed through San Antonio for Xew
Mexico their object being to explore the silver
mines of that country. Tbe Texan says of
Mr. C. D. Post as (who is tho leader) and his
company:
They have been sent out to explore the So-
nora valley by a company chartered under
the name of the " Sonora Exploring and Min-
ing Company "This company has a capital
of $100000 -and is at present controlled by
the following officers: President Maj J. P
Ileintzleman of U. S. A. ; Financial Agent
Edgar Conkliu of Cincinnati; T. Butler
KInir. A B. Grav. J. Wareouer and other.
shareholders in the Pacific Railroad are also
soarenoiuersm unscompany.
It is an established lact that some of the
richest silver mines in our country were once
worked in what is now called the "Sonora
country1 but for several generations they
have been lost. It is a well known fact too
that immense masses of native 'diver ora
pass through our cUy to Xew Orleans and
that came from somewhere in that direction.
We hare seen several thousand dollars worth
of this ore laying on the counter In a mer-
cantile house in our city.
Mr. Crauptox and the Tiirre Coxscx?.
The dismissal of Mr. Crampton and the three
Consuls is thus announced in the Washington
Union of Thursday last :
We understand that the President has fur-
nished to Mr. Crampton the British Minister
his passports and that the exequaturs of tbe
British Consuls at Philadelphia. Xew York
and Cincinnati have been withdrawn.
The National Intelligencer speaking of the
same event says:
We further learn that the steamer which
has just sailed for England has carried oat to
Lord Clarendon a letter of a pacific character
reciprocating tbe friendly disposition evinced
in Lord C.Ts last communication to this Gov-
ernment. A Hamilton C. W. newspaper is out with
a proposal that the people of Canada elect
their governor Instead of importing him.

The "Angel Gabriel who is well known
in this country for his fanatical freaks and
who recently incited a dreadful riot atDcm-
arara has been found guilty and sentenced to
the Penitentiary for three years.
Wnr Is It? Since our residence in this city
now going on six years there have been many
cold-blooded and wilful murders committed
and but two of the perpetrators of these
atrocities have been punished and they were
two peons who had run away from Mexico
and had neither friends nor money. They
were hung. If a man attempt to kill his
fellow.man and fails be is in danger of tbe
penitentiary. But if he kills his man "no
matter under what circumstance he need not
fear the result. Why thi3 is so we cannot
ear. This beioz the case we should not be
burprised to see the people take the adminis
tration oi justice into tacir own nanus. can
