GENTLEMEN: Knowing the Mexican
character as you do, you will hardly be
surprised at any act Of ftreachery they may
commit; and yet one communicated 10
me by the Texan consul, as received by
vessel which arrived here from Sisa
(the seaport Of Yucatan) two davs since
would seem 10 cap the climax. You MAJ
remember that the Texan navy helpeC
the provinces of Yucatan and Tobasct

recently, Commodore Moore, was sent
with a part Of the Texan navy, at thei
earnest solicitation, TO protect then
against their enemies. A few days sine

IMMEDIATE REsuMrTroS.-By our Harrisburg cor
respondents letter. it will be seen that the House
Saturday passed the Senate bill, enforcing immediate
resumption. AS to the Relief Notes, the State Trea-
surer is authorized to redeem them in specie, its
equivalent, State scrip bearing per cent interest,
whenever the potes presented to him in sums Of
fifty dollars each This is better than before, though it
is not quite the thing yet. We must be "hankful for
small favors as the elephant remarked when the boy
chucked him chinquepin.
We should like TO see the Relief Notes redeemed in
any like bank notes; and then, at the time of re-
sumption they would not be below par, and the poor
who are compelled to take them in payment Of labor
would not have to submit. TO loss.

nns-Petersburg Statesman
TEN YEARS AGO.
Ten years ago, ten years ago,
Life fairy scene;
And the keen blasts of worldly Woe
Had scared not then its pathway green.
Youth and its thousand dreams Were ours,
Feelings ne'er can know again
Unyithered hopes, unwased powers,
And frames unworn by mortal pain.
Such was the bright and genial flow
OF life with us-ten years ago.
Time has not bianched n single hair
That clusters round thy forehead nov;
Nor hath the cank-ring touch Of care
Len even one furrow on Thy brow.
Thine eyes blue rs when We met,
In loves deep TRUTH IN earlier years;
Thy cheek of rose Is blooming yet,
Though sometimes stained with secret tears;
But where-oh, where's the SPIRITS glow,
That shone through al-ten years ago:
l. too, am clanged-I scarce know why
Can feel each tagging pulse decay;
And youth, and health. aud visions high,
Melt like n wreath Of snow away
Time cannot sure have wrought the ILL
Though worn in this WORLDS sick ming strife.
In soul and form, llinger still
Yet journey on my path below,
Oh, how unlike-ten years ago.
But look not ihus-l would not give
The wreck of hopes that thou must share,
To bid those joyous hours revive
When all around me seemed SO fair.
We've wandered on 10 sunny weather,
When winds were low, and flowers III bloom,
And hand in hand have kept together,
And still will keep 'mid storm and gloom;
Endeared by lies We could not know
When life was youns-ten years ago.
Has Fortune frowued, Her frowns were vain,
For hearts like she could not chill;
Have friends proved false, Their love might Wsne
But grow fonder, trmer STILL
Twin barks ga this worlds changing wave
steadfast in Gains, in tcmpes,s tried,
In concert still our fate wen brave,
Together ceave e's itfu tide
Nor mourn, whatever winds may blow,
Youths first wild dream-ten years ago.
Have we not knet beside his bed,
And watched first-horn bios die
Hoped, till the shades I'll hope had fled,
Then wept till feelings foGnt was dry
Was II not sweet in thar dark hour,
To think, mid mutual tears and signs,
Our bud had left its earthly bower,
And burst TO bloom in Paradise;
What to the thoughts that sonhed that woe,
Were heartiess joys-ien years ago.
Yes, il is sweet, when Heaven is bright,
To share lis sunny beams with thee;
But sw ceter, far, mid clouds and blight,
TO have thee Ia weep with me.
Then dry those tedrs-thongh something changed
From what we were III earlier youth,
Time that has hopes and friends cstransed,
Hath left Us love in all It's ruth;
Sweet feelings would not forego
For liie's best joy-ten years ago

Rank RESUMPTION.


We call attention TO the proceedings Of the Bank
Conve ntion in our paper oday. The banks there IN
cluded are those which had delegates present Three
others not included, are paying specie, and when
we included in our list of Saturday evening we re-
grct 10 hear that many of the Wing political leaders
are in great rage the these banks have seen
proper 10 take and will if possible prevail on them 70
chanre their determinations and compel them, II pos
sibe, to enter the political field, and make common
cause with Whiggery, in defiance OF law or Tght rea-
son. ~,
For ourselves, we have no advice TO give. ne
banks can pursue their course; and they listen
to the Wing defenders, and enter the political arena,
as in 1910 they must take the politician iare, as wen
as feed the corrupt political hacks that have eaten our
the substance Of about one half Of them already we
are prepared for peace aud qnetness or Tor the sever
est storm that rage. We can sail III any win", or
bask in the sunny rays as they fall upon the calm
surface Of q smooth sea. If, however, banks can
only live by public confidence, that confidence can
only be acquired by strict attention 10 the op
jecs of their creation; and far as they do that,
no one has reason 10 complln Of the banks, how
ever they may oppose their creation, or The IN.
Justice Of granting corporate privileges. So tar as
the banks have acted i'll resolving 10 obey the laws OF
the State and 10 a specie standard, they deserve
the support and countenance Of the people; and Sc
have no doubt that if they continue in that position,
time will be given them close up their affairs, if they
desire it, Let the desire 10 do right be received in It's
proper spirit 6ut submsSi0n TO arrong from aayqaar
ter.
