Monday morning wben the wind suddenly
shifted and it commenced to blow from the

by flashes of lightning which Illuminated the

The TEnrANTErEC Road Amng the
pacngcr3 who arrive 1 by the steamship CaU
houiu at New Orlcan on the 27th instant was
Capt Samuel W Pratt Superintendent of the
above mad who reports the road to be in n
steady state of forwardness and dfcnbes
the country through which it passcfe as one
of the most desirable to reside in in point of
situation soil and salubrity of climate which
he has ever seen
There are about tr.o hundred laborers em
ployed on the work under good auspices for its
early completion Contrary to the cxpcta-
tions of some the Mexicans in the neighbor-
hood of the rout e.aro highly pleased with the en
terpress and tho civil and military authorities
expries a desire to see tho work completed
and to facilitate its completion
WoconversPd with a gentleman .the other
day. who resiles in Tvler countv. and were
informed that tho work on the Mexican Gulf
and Henderson railroa 1 was progressing Gra
ding had not commenced but would be as soon
n the hands arrived which had been out from
New York several week ind were looked for
hourly Tiacogdocfut Chronicle
Nearly two years ago we Btafed on what
we considered the best authority ard with the
request that it shon'd bo so stated as to re-
move all doubt on the subject that some two
hundred hands and several vessels loaded with
materials for tbe above road would land on
Bolivar Point within three or four months
from that time for the purpose of prosecuting
their road with the utmost despatch and that
twenty five miles of it would certainly bo com
pleted by the" 27th or January last
On the 2Uh of January last the company
procured the passage of an amendment grant
ing them relief and extending further time
but we bate not yet letrned certainly that
tny commencement Las really been made
though we have often been requested to state
that the work ma just going to commence
From tbe abort It would seem that the road
Is now " progressing" and yet the grading is
not yet "commenced" Themcanirg of thi
appears to be that the road U progressing In
the same way it has been ever since the
charter was granted which was tbe 10th of
February 1Sj2 nearly five years ago We
are heartily tired of giving notices of such
kind of progress and thereby aiding in de-
ceiving the public We tako this occasion to
reply to question propounded to us by tbe
DolUs 'Ifcraitf.1 Why we ore "pursuing T
Butler King s Pacific Rutroad Company with
such untiring pertinacitv?' 'How any body
is to be injured by letting It alonef" Or
"What damage will befall cn body by giving
it an opportuuit to build the road If It can? '
Our answer is that we want to eee that road
built and also all tbe other forty odd roads
that have Jieen so long and so repeatedly
promised and It 3 for the very reason that
we want to anc them built that wc are op-
posed to tbo3C systematic efforts to deceive
the public with false promiaes always telling
us what they are going to do but never actu-
ally doing anything We can net er expect to
have railroads built 13 long as we keep these
spurious speculative companies in existence
by continual! renew ng their charters

Another Challenge The Richmond En-
quirer of tho 14 h instant contains a corres
pondence the first letter of which Is a chal
lenge to Hon John M Botts from Roger A. ;
Pryor' Esq In which tho following language
is used
Determined to afford you no apology for
evading the issuo with myself I consented to
come down to a level with your son Having
disposed of him. I now confront you and de
mna tnc sausiacuon wuicn gentlemen are
always readv to render those upon whom they
have inflicted wrong and insult
This letter is dated the 11th Instant and on
the following day Mr Botts replied In a long
comraunicat jonperemptorily declining to meet
Mr Pryor Mr Botts reviews in detail the
ground upon which the challenge i3 made de-
nies having influenced his eon m seeking a
conflict with Mr Pryor and states that on
the contrary he took every possible means to
prevent such occurrence and among other rea-
sons for his own determination not to eng3ge
in a duel gives this conclusive one in the eye3
of sensible men:
Your life could not be the value of a pin s
point to me and I am sure I bhould denvo no
comfort from making your wife a widow or
your children fatherless therefore I have no
desire to take it whilst my own life is not
only 01 vame to me but indispensable to toe
support and happiness of my family and I
hope to make it useful to my country there-
fore I am not disposed to place it at your dis
posal

The town of Mier held an election and to
ted for Don Albino Lopez of Matatnoros us
governor of Tamauiipas to succeed Garza
Governor Vidaurri eftcts the uncoitional
removal of the latter as being the main cause
of tbe civil strife on this frontier a
After the occupation of Mier by the army
of the North the Vidaurri tariff of last year
was put in force with a further deduction of
twenty per cent on tbe amount of duties cs
tabhshed by that tariff This tariff is even
more moderate than the one commonly called
the Caballo tariff which in tbe commercial
circles received very general acceptation All
goods coming into the country through the
line of tho Rio Grande must comply with its
provisions otberwiscthoy wiU be liable to
confiscation An order to that effect was pub-
lished by tbe Treasurer of this State; under
orders from the Governor and Command-Fin
Chief
The forces from tbe interior at San Luis
Potest remain at that nlacc In itatn oho. and
It is now known that tbe President Is deposed
to arrange matters amicably with Governor
Vidaurri who will be willing to listen to any
terms that will secure what he requires fur
the welfare of this frontier Otherwise he
will continue In armj and fight It out regard
le of consequences. He is not the man they
can bribe bully or cajole and never will they
faring him to terms until the interests of thU
frontier arc completely secured The Presi-
dent' wire-working political hack are at a
loss what to do with a man whose conduct is
diametrically opposed to that of every revolu-
tionary chteftiin that ever figured In the
couniry; anl they cannot well comprehend
and much less appreciate tbe purity of a m in
who Is poor and in debt when without tbe
least responsibility he could be the owner of
a princely fortune If there ever was in
Mexico a patriot Don Santiago Vidaurri tha
Governor of Nuevo Leon and Coahmla and
Commander in Chief of the Army of the
North is that man His very dress and per-
sonal appearance indicate that his heart is
in the right place If he is let alone b the
many political leeches in the country he will
be of real service to poor suffering Mexico
This romantic and b6autiful city continues
to improve In every respect and all strangers
enter and leave it as nntramcllcd a if they
were travelling in your own happy country
I shall continue keeping on tbe look out for

TheOndcrdonk Remission Though the
House of Bishops Bit with closed doors things
done by them leak ont occasionally The New
York Church Journal edited by a son of tbe
B shop or Vermont gives the vote on tho re-
mission of the sentenco of snapension pro-
nounced twelve years ago against Dr Onder-
donk of Pennsylvania
It passed after a long discussion by 21 to
8 for the immediate and unconditional remis-
sion of the sentence of suspension under
which Bishop Ondcrdonk has suffered so pa-
tiently quietly and blamelessly.. There were
tender and touching speeches made before
the vote was taken especially one from the
Bishop of Delaware The Eishop or Pennsyl

For the information of Eomc says the New

stand in what position the recent action of the
House of Bishops leaves Bishop Onderdonk of
Pennsylvania we may state that that prelate
is completely relieved from sentence of gus
pension and can exercise episcopal duties
hereafter whenever requeued as well as
priestly or ministerial duties but he has no
jurisdiction whatever having resigned the
diocese of Pennsylvania In 1811 Should tbe
present Bishop of Penniylvania Dr Potter
request him to act for him however there is
nothing to prevent; nor is there anything to
prevent his being invited to act a Bishop m
any new field or diocese if only chosen or re-
quested No new Institution is required and
of course no re consecration

Cotton iv Alabama The Montgomery
Mail of Tuesday evening last says
There is already a falling off in the receipts
of cotton here though we presume there will
be still a considerable influx for a week or two
to come One fact however may be relied tn
many planters are through with their cropa
already while tbe large majority will be done
picking within a week Tbe crop is very short
and within a month the fact will be so demon-
strated that speculators will be enable to de-
vise theories to keep cotton down

Laves1 Furs Tbe fancy fur trade of this
country which centers In Iww York is one ol
increasing importance uvreie-ence to th
Custom House books It appears that tbe total
importations 0' "iurs' mis year up to the
present time is not less tban 1928 000 while
for the whole of last year the amount was
not quite $1500000
TnE Consumption of Paper The rapid
increase in tho consumption of paper espe-
cially in this country is well known hut Its
whole extent may not fairly be anticipated
The amount of paper produced annually in
France is about 156000000 pounds of which
17000000 are exported England produce
about 177000000 pounds of which lb 000 000
are sent abroad and 161000000 use In t home
The United States consumes about 270000 000
of pounds or an amonnt greater than Eng
land and France combined. A large propor
tion of this is manufactured at home and the
remainder imported from Europe chiefly from
France and England
Tbe consumption of paper in England and
France Is about four and a half pounds for
each person while In the United States it
Teaches ten pounds for each Individual The
rags required to make tbe 270000 000 pounds
of paper consnmed in the United States
amount to 337000000 pounds one pound and
a quarter of ragB being required to make one
pound of paper A reason for the more ex-
tensive use of paper In this country than in
any other is readily seen in tbe zreater num.
ber of newspapers and books daily issuing
from printing presses Elucatlon is more
general here and the Americans are a reading
peopie
This Is about as good a criterion as any
by which to compare the general intelligence
of the people of these countries

violated tbeir oath of allegiance to the new
Government The whole value of this proper
ty as set down by the commissioners who
have it in charge isS75G00O Judged by the
standard of price wiihio this coantry this
valuation is very moderate For example
one estat is put down its acre and cw-U
tiun are not discribed as having six tno-..n
bead of cattle and five hundred hones d
for all this the valuation is et down at
21.000 la this country the cattle would be
worth at least ten dollars a head on an aver
age. Another one with fifteen hundred bead
of cattle and two hundred horses put down
at eleven thousand dollars another with two
ibousand bead of cattle and two hundred
horses at twelve thousand dollars and so on
through twi? columns of tbe paper.
These firms in addition contain large
quantities of valuable land for it Is impossi-
ble to suppose that they should feed so many
horses and cattle without pretty valuable
stocks of supplies.
What Is more payment for tbe purchase vj
these properties may be made in military
script which may be. or could bave been
recently purchased at tes or twenty p.rcent
on tbe dollar.
This sale will afford ipecolatori a fins floll
