escape from this state of things if Mr. Clark is not
reelected. We know what we did suffer for three
years, and may calculate upon the occurrences of
the failure from the experience Of the past when,
although we have had for Mayors very excellent
men in all the private relations of life, yet they have
not had the energy the power to dare to act in op

LATEST FROM MExIco.-The arrival Of the sehr
Woodbury. at New Orleans, furnishes news from
Tampco TO the 18th ult Defeated, and almost with
out followers, the federal General Urea entered
Tampico few days before. The army Of Bustamenfe
was approaching and, IL said, Intended to give
up Tampico to be pillaged by the soldiers. The ut
most alarm prevailed in Tampico among the natives
and foreigners, without distinction. General Mexia
was closely beseged in Tuspan. The troops Of the
central government had made themselves masters Of
the bar, well the approaches by land, and n was
thought Mexia could not long hold out.
This news may be considered important. The
Of the armies Of the ccntrasts is calculated
TO make the government Of Mexico more unbending
than ever in its relations with foreign powers. IL II
does not lead to the rejection Of the treaty with
Eranse, will certainly make the President Of Mex-
leo less disposed than to do justice to the
CARNATIONS in favor of American citizens. The pre-
lection Of our trade in and with that country will
qure vigorous measures on the part of the govern
ment Of the United States, and hope they viii be
taken forthwith.

THE COMPLIMENTARY BEsxFIT.-Since the open
ing Of the present season at the National Thea
tire, there have been at least l60 good playing
nights the average aggregate receipts being fully
-eqnal Ia $500 per night. Indeed rather think
that this estimate is below the factbut taking il
VIC have stated, it gives general result Of SIPS 900
for the aggregate receipts during the up this
time. Now what the expenses? Let us state
she account as ssccinsty a. possible:
Aggregate receipts for 100 nights. Sl2sy00o
ESpenses at saoo per night, $4,000
Rent, 10000
stars, &c, 10000 $4,000
Net profit during the season $4,000
Thus it will appear that, at very fair calculation,
the profits Of the National Theatre nearly forty
five thousand dollars-probably City thousand would
be nearer the mark. With these facts staring
them ia the face, 10 IL not extraordnary-not to
say audac ious--that claim should be set up for
complimentary benefit, tickets at So each, about
three times their value by the old set Of hacks who
have so often abnsed the credulty and confidence Of
the publicl Heretofore every complimentary bene-
fit has been placed the ground Of poverty-losses
or other casualty :" by flood field" In the pre-
sent case the fact Of prosperous season, and fall
treasury is the very reason for the audacy Of the
humbug. Because a manager has cleared more mo-
ney than any manager did in New York. he is
to be c1mplimented with another $4,000 merely TO
round his sl5 900 profits into $4,000.
OF all the complimentary benefits attempted
we believe the public will consider this the most au-
ldacious, mpudent, unmerted and uncalled for. Yet
IN speaking thus do not wish TO deract from the
merit and talents Of Nj. Wallack lie is not to
blanche seeks IL not-he is not the cause. IL
springs from the impotence and folly Of the old hacks
who, for years past, every now asd then, get up
these lumbugs, to get supper and wine out Of the
tail end of the receipts.

Yesterday Captain Eyres, of the British corvette
Modesto. returned from Washington, and sails this
morning for Norfolk there to await the return Of the
Great Western steamer, with dispatches Tor Mr..
Fox, the minister
Since the corvette lay in our waters several mel
dents have taken place, developing the spirit and
temper of the times in regard to England. One eve
ming aamall boat rowed several times round the ves-
sci, playing Yankee Doodle and giving cheers at
inery ais for Maine On another occasion locofoco
went aboard, pulled out his instrument and played
Yankee Doodle quite merrily on her quarter deck.
After closing his merry air, he cried, come boys,
give us something to drink-and if you come ashore
j shall return the compliment"
Taking these signs in connection with the spirit in
Maine, of shooting at the Queens efigy at tar
get it would seem to lead the conclusion that
the Americans and the British fast becoming ma
tural foes.
Other accounts at Washington state that Mr.. Fox
has directed the Modesto remain Norfolk for the
purpose of being able TO communicate readily with
the British fleet, stationed at Bermuda. Ii is gene
rally believed in Washington among the best inform
ed circles that Mr.. Eek will be recalled on the ar
rival of the Great Western, and that difficulty
will be created between England and the United
States than people dream of Col. Worth returned
from Washington w ednesday, and departed for
Albany yesterday. He is of the like opinion. Other
persons who have returned from Washington think
the way.

G. w. Terrell.

Our readers will find in another
column The communication of Gen. Ter
reil denying the authorship of the letter
published in The Sentinel of Vicksburg,
relative to Mr.. Dawes and Gen Terrell's
speeches at this place, on the 25th ult.
1t IS true we were actpated by no un-
kind or malignant feeling to General
Terrell. We never would have made
the charge we did without such testi-
nony as we felt would bear us out in The
allegation The testimony was The
manuscript-which Gen. Terrell SAYS,
''dS 10 the manuscript containing a por-
ticR eff The letter, AZ may be an my hand
1criting." 1t is still in our possession,
which we from knowledge of his hand
writing, felt assured was his, and now
are confirmed in our opinion from his
own statements. How far we have done
him injustice we leave the people TO
Judge neither he has sufficiently ex-
culpated himself from the charge OF the
authorship OF the letter, we also leave
the people to judge. As to the charges
made By Mr.. Davis relative to General
Jackson. we will say nothing-as well
as whether Gen. Terrell's speech was
composed OF extracts from 9Th Of Ianu-
airy addresses &c, as they are matters
sc no Importance one way or the other,
we therefore dismiss the subject without
further remark.

We have been kindly favored by a
friend with the following extract of a
letter dated New Orleans, Aug. 10, 1889,
which is calculated to cast deeper gloom
over the barrassed and depressed condi-
tion Of our State.
Business looks uery gloomy here,
and at the north also. A rery great many
commercial men of good standing will be
ruined. and others seriously crippled by
the heavy losses on Cotton sent to Eng
land. These losses, should the price not
improve, are estimated at Nine Millions
Dollars. OF course il does not make
the United States, as nation, any poor
CT, since the planter has gained all that
the merchant will loose; still II deranges
business materially, and will bear hard
upon our coming crop. A new set of
men will have to come upon the carpet
as buyers, and It viii take time before
these new relations are adjusted. In
fine, it will probably be the close of the
year ere we can have the usual number
Of buyers. Old Cotton. Of which there
is about 10000 bales here, is selling
rery slosctg at 9 IL for ordinary to
prime. OF new crop there are o bales
in the market offered al ii cents, but no
buyers at these rates. At the north
they suppose our new crop will bring
eight or ficetre cents, but so much will de-
pend upon the European news for the
next few months, that these calculations
are as yet vague and uncertain"
