THE PEACK IX KtltOPE IS IT mr
«AKE3Í *-
France, for the past twenty years, has boen
nnder ^'personal rute;" *r, in other words,
Lonis Napoleon has swayed the imperial-sceptre
with the strong hand of despotism; and his
subjects have been eoerced into submission by
the strong arm of military power. The nation
has Wn brought low--not by her people, bat
by the advent of a miserable adventurer aud
his advisers, through scheming device, fraudn-
lent intent and perjured souls, followed by tho
shedding of blood. Those twenty years of ab-
solutism have emasculated Fiance, Áespoileá
her \>f intellectual and political life; left her
tho prey of uns«rnpaloas ambition ; obliterated
all the great qnalitios of the French people, and
otherwise crushed out the noblest impulses of
her honest sons. How is it now ? Tho veil has
been lifted ; the Emperor is au exile, without
the least hope of ever returning to that Paris
so dear to every Frenchman- -that Paris, the
pride of tlie w rld, fh«* Mecca of travelers to
Europe—in .which tho great game of statecraft,
royal iutrigue and military ambition has so long
held high carnivil. But all is over, and France
this" day has fo pay for the iucapacity of hor
lafe sovergigi{ anil tlie cupidity of grasping
ambition; but the penalties which follow the.
career of royal rulers never fall «pon the heads
of the tfansgreisois ; they are reserved for the
people; and sitli penalties as the French peo-
ple are now called upon to pay will forever
stamp Louis Niipoteou Bonaparte as one of the
greatest political crimináis that ever Jivud.
That he was jnfrapable is evident, for lie claimed
to be supreme. That he was deceived his pres-"
ent- predicament reveals. Success in royal in-
trigue, or mititiry luamouvres, make the ambi-
tious man, whether possessed of taleut, good
common sense, or the iustiucts of an idiot, a
Ottsaf. F«ir nearly twenty years the world that
worships succi.ms lias not been been warned by
Muxico, by Roue, by Villafranca; or, iu fict,
every stage of the imperial adventurer's career.
Maximilian and Cavour are avenged now upon
the exile. For tho ex-l£Mneror there is now no
future except humiliation, exile and confusion.

DAD COCXTKY.
It is somewhat strange 'hat the lafge bc*VJx"
of country comprelicnded under the above eai>-
tion is so little known to persons seeking homes
in this part of Texas. It was parta II7 settled
at an early day, but from various caftses, dis-
connected with its natural advantages, it failed
to populate densely. This was partly owing- to
the fact that a large part of it was held in
leagne grants and tho owners were nuwiffing to
sub-divide aud sell iu small tracts. Another
*e .son «-as that none of the highways ef trade
or stage routes passed through it. The former
difficulty has ehielly passed away—the latter
must disappear with the settlement of the
TUB 1XPKRIAL. AlUASCK.
Ttinre is a gooá J?al of anil
writiu^ liere (says a Paris correspondent
of the London Daily News) about those
tel« j>rains which have passed bet*e*rtj t)ke
Emperors of Iinssin and (verttaKy on the
cotidusitui of the war. The chief remark
which they rteite is a question about
England. What will England say to his
underst.iiitlinii • otw. en tho twoEmperore?
How does Kngiirsd like such an alliance?
Whit ba.M England guittml by tbrowiug
np the French aUiatiee? How pleasant it
innst be for her to feel that she has lost
her power, and can do nothing m the face
of 8nch a combination! The combination
has been a tMrilile blow to France,
eonntry, as mads'and other faeilitics go hand in though i^ might have saved her if she
hand with increasing population. i had Vemttmed the appauage of the Bona*
Tlie Lavaca and Navidad rivers, pas-uftg \ P-ittes. Itumediati ly after Sedan fien,
through Lavaca and Jackson counties, rutin ng I Fh-nry was aide to telegraph to Taris

|THE ST<utWC Mara and seeking by base
motives to retrieve tKeir fallen couditiou.' Tlie
downfall of the Emperor is of the greatest ad-
vantage to France, an l the gain is so immense
as to compensate her in a great degree for the
punishment which lias come uoon lier through
the folly and I'riulinality of her late rulers.
Then, could France do better thau she lias -done
to make peace on any terms ? No ? France lias
been compelled to negotiate with 'another am-
bitious man aud his political usurer, Bismarck,
who have reduced the terms to a commercial
tu.¡inaction—a speculation for profit as well as
glory aud national security? That Germany
was justified in repclliug the impertinent incd.-.
dliug of Napoleon in Spain and in invading
France, we never doubted; but whcu the reign
of Napoleon ceased, Germany should havt>
made peace/ Ctít aullíitioil ruled the King of
Prussia, and ho must return homo au Emperor,
and he could only hope to bo saluted as such
at least in front-of Paris. By the aacritice of
Baxous, Bavariaw , Wurtemburgers, and
Badenese,' the King succeeded, and he is now
hailed as his Imperial Majesty, the Empérór of
Germany; hut vaulting ambition ms.y possibly
be shown to have overleaped itself yet, for the
German people are Republicans aft heart, and
love peace and independence in preference to
the gloss and gKtter of royalty. There is toó
much enlightenment and refinement among
the masses of Germany for them long to sub-
mit tú Kingly despotism, or "one man power."
The day of hereditary rule is passing away: en-
ergy, talent and political honesty will rise supe-
rior to royal blood; aud the middle classes rule
the destinies of their respective countries.
Out of evil cotneth good, and amidst of all
this confusion and anarchy, let us hope that
the people of France win be victorious over
themselves. The day of illusion is ¿One. They
have stenr realities before them, and have
much to compensate them in the future; for,
first of all, they have regained their right to
self government; and'so far they have the ad-
vantage of Germany, which will iu due time be
suffocated with its surplus "blood royal;" then
will Khqivand Princes disappear forever before
the mUleuiüm of Republicanism, the ooeds of
which were sown broadcast from this country
over the entire European Continent, and not
many years mfist elapso ese* enlightened, tyir-
many a¡Ú follow in the ¿rain of her destiny and,
the will of tie majority role, ¡ w il fi
th" west the Lavaca receives the Chiewlita, the
Brusheys, Rockv and numerous small streams,
in trie lower pan óf this couutry, for tenor
twelve miles, the timber is chiúáv confined to
the streams; but above that, it is a tim'jsred
country for some 40 miles ti Halletsviile, hav-
ing an excess of oak, poejn, elm, ash and other
timbers of the country. In the lower part and
for nearly the whole length of the Navidad the
soil is rich black prairie upland and still richer
bottom lands. The remainder of the country,
as far np ae Halletsviile is diversified iuto
small prairies and the various shades of sandy-
land, from very poor to very good, so divided
and so well watered and Umbered as to admit a
dense popnlt&ioA of sriiall f&rtfters. This, much
the larger part of the district fináer considera-
tion, is emphatically a good country for men of
small means, seeking homes in a country where
fair soil; abundaut timber and water are found
together at low prices and accessible to market.
All the lighter soils rest on clay sub-soil and can
be indefinitely fertilized by prudent and itidus-'
trieus farmers. Lands are very cheap. The
health of the country, excepting perhaps á few
small spots, rauks as goods as that of the
contltry generally at the same distance froin
the coast. Much of it is considered very heal-
thy, and once it is brought into settlement aud
cultivation and tho h**vy bottom titnbei thift-
ned out, it will "all be heaithy. The Arenosa,
which bounds Jackson county on the wast, is a
beautiful stream of vrater and pasbes through
fertile and productive soil. Small boats ascend
it for several miles to its junction with the Gar-
citas. The natural outlet to the country other-
wise is through TeSana, the head of steamboat
navigation on the Navidad. With slight im-
provements tho navigation to that point can be
Made perfectly reliable the year round. As'it
is naturally, sloops and schooners drawing.
three feet do run there at all seasons. A rail-
road from Texana to HalletsviHe, about 48
miles, passing centrally betwecu the Navidad
and Lavaca, would be sustained by the country
we have described, averaging a width of 25
miles. It is a level country, requiring not a
single bridge, aud on the line indicated a light,
sandy soi.', with miHious of cross ties at hand.
With á railroad as iudicated it would become
densely settled aud the seat of large productions
in corn, cottort, vegetables, hogs and other live
stock, upland rice, fruit and a great variety of
other things. The route would be tho cheapest
by which the products of a country 50 miles
long aud 25 miles wide could get to market or
receive its own supplies from abroad. The
population, though sparse, is distinguished as
one of tho best and most law-abidiug in th e
whole State.
We offer one word to tho present land owners.
Cut your land iuto small tracts to suit purcha-
sers- - sell two-thirds of it at very low figures—
cucourase farmers from the old States to settle
among you with their improved implements—
don't ask a farmer whether he is from South
Caroliua or Pennsylvania, but, if he appe&rs to
be a good citizen, give him an old fashioned
Texas welcome and make hhu feel that he is
among friends. Then he will induce-his friends
to come and soon your country will flourish and
yeta, with one-third your land, will be better
off.
Mexico -and Juar :z.
Our d spatches from Mexico, published to-
day, are favorable to the progress of liberty and
constitutional government. President Juarez,
despite a few errors on his part and the oft-re-
peated slanders of pensioned correspondents
and politieo-eeclésiastícal adherents to the soul*
crushing doctrine of church and State, hr s pro-
ven himself to be a wise statesman and unyield-
ing patriot. To him and to the deceased pat-
riot, ex-President Farias, the people of Mexico
are indebted (like the poople of Virginia were
indebted to Thomas Jefferson nearly a hundred
year ago) for the constitution and the laws es-
tablishing religious liberty, trial by jury, liber'
ty of speech aud of tho press,- a system of free
public schools, and an utter divorce of church
and State. Tbcse are his titles to the respect
of every true-hearted American and of all who
believe in human rights in contradistinction to
the idea that the mass of bqch are mere beasts,
to be used for the ease, luxurious living and ag-
grandisement of a few kings, nobles and polit-
ical and ecelesiasticald drones—vampires, suck'
ing the Mood «id moral life ot every people on
earth upon whom their f^ngs have been fasten-
ed. Under the free institutions inangunited l>y
Juarez and his friends^ amid nameless obstacles,
tbe children of Mexico we being lifted from the
degraded condition of their fathers; and, thro'
common schools and aa unshackled press, ed-
ucated to understand their rights and respon-
sibilities as rational beings. ' The fruit al

From a report oi tlie legislative proceedings,
April 1th, as reported to the Xfir*, wo learn
that— !■ ■ ■
A railroad bill was introduced to-day with
this title; "An act to promote the foreign trade
and commerce of Texas, And to secure to the
citizens of Texas the business of the States
west of ti Mississippi river, by promotm" the
speedy constructien of continuous lines of rail
way of a uniform guage to the Guif ports of this
State."
There we $10,MO por «rile to be give* V> the
corporation that lirst reaches the Indian Terri-
toiv front Galveston Bay,Sabine. Pass, Matagor-
da ^5ay, Aransas Bay, or Corpus Christ! ha v..
northwardly to lied River, west of Bowie
county. Lands to the extent oí twenty-four sec
tions per mile may be given the successful
completed to Red River, where it Uto connect
with sohie trunk road from Missouri or Kansas,
tlieu completed.
That bill should bo entitled '«an aet to help
the Texas Central-rail road extend itself to Red
River, tor the benefit of Galveston, Houston and
the people on its route, at the expense of aU the
people ill the prcsctt Htato of Texas, and an
argument to all of West and East Texas in favor
of a divwiou of tlie State." That would he an
honest caption to the bill. Taking things as
they do actually exist, tho proposition is a fratld
upon all ot East and West Texasi
After receivirtg state aid for 15 years the Cen«
tral road is now so far- advanced towards Bed
River and the Iudiau Territory as to utterly
preclude the possibility of any other road com-
peting with it for tbe uia^uificent bonus offered
by that mis-named bill.
