Mr.. w alker, Mail Agent, that they were detained
in consequence of the Locomotive having been
thrown of the track, on Tuesday night, Is miles

The Journal of Commerce has Il Washing
ton letter containing some opinions about
Mexican and Texian affairs, seemingly ema
mating from Mr.. Calhoun or his friends. The
writer says: ...
at is not the opinion. | learn, of the Sec
rotary of State, that any war can grow out Of
that measure, should it be consummated.-
Should the annexation be effected, it will be
with the consent of Mexico, and with ample
indemnity to her. The offer of ten millions,
heretofore made to Santa Anna, was, from all
accounts, far from being offensive; but it was
deemed by HIN and his friends, and by the
British agents in Mexico, who look to that in
demnity as source from which British debts
can be paid. as an insufficient sum. Moreo-
yer, Santa Ann1 himself was DESTROYS that
provision should be made, in the treaty, to in.
demnify him for his personal losses and sac
ri6ces incurred by the Texan revolution.
1.-The government of Mexico entertans no
serious expectation or design to re-conquer
Texas. On the contrary, it perceives no ben
eft that can be derived from a reunion with a
people of different origin, language, religion,
and institutions. Mexico covets the security
and border tranquility that she can alone obtain
from the establishment of boundary line BIZ :
tween her and the United States, for which
the United States will be responsible. She
has every advantage to expect from such a
treaty of peace and boundaries with the Uni
ted States, and nothing from WEI"

ELLICO'TTS MILLS, Nov. 23.
At the going down of the Sun, on Tuesday,
November the 10Th. 1914, at Rockhill Institution,
in the 18th year Of his age, died, Louis McLane
Saunders, son of the Hon. r. M. Saunders, of Raj
eigh, North Carolina, and grandson Of William
johnson, of Charleston late of the Bench Of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
A tribute to his memory we would Offer He
has gone! = Tears are vain HE sleeps land
we trust he sleeps in Jesus and with God. His
pale and cold body was before us-beauuful in
death Earth lines have been upon his brow, and
more than tie etchings of care upon his cheek-and
his Young heart has suffered. But all is now more
beautiful calm in death. .~.-
He came to US early in January We looked up
on his face and we saw the frankness of the soul.
His heart was in his hand, and his hard was open.
His was indeed generous and mob spirit. He
became one of our household, and very soon l0red
one of our family -and upon all the hearts here he
hath left an impression which breathes forth the fla
GRANGE of affection and love. May God love him as
we have loved him, and he US.
His school companions at Rockhl are heart
stricken. The flower of them all, as they while
bending over his cold bed Of death, have already cal
led him. has cast his bright petals early in this au
tumn touched by the frost of DEATH Their number
is broken He goes from them. They shall see
him no more nelr last 1areWeli IS all unfeaTu Dy
him. Their warm kiss upon his cheek gives back
to their heart but the GOODNESS of death Their fears
embaim him. Their prayers have gone with
him. as we trust he has gone to the place. 'where the
wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at
rest"
In his protracted suferings, (near fifty days) he
has rad ali that medical aid and skill could proer at
his bedside. One has watched by him, his attending
Physician as though he had been the sou of his own
bosom day and night and all day and all night has
been with him, and could professional science ant,
experience have saved him, he would yet have been
with Us. ... s.... :.
A last consolstion God has granted US. His faith
er and bis MOTHER with his beloved sister, came from
the far South, to minge with US aud watch by him
in his sufferings and when he died. We woG!1 not
intrude upon the holiness of private grief but still
are permitted to say that they, while they mourn
their loss are satisfied that his appointed time had
come and that earth could no longer claim their
child,-God having called him unto himself. ID.
