TnE ATMOSPHERIC RAILwAY.-The
London Mechanics Magazine, for Oc-
tobcr, 1913, says:-"Another trial of
the atmospheric Railway, which isnow
nearly completed between Dublin and
Dalky, on the plan OF Mrssrs. Clegg
and Samuda, took place last week,
when the results obtained were even
more surprising and satisfactory than
before. We have seen a letter from a
gentleman who was present, who states
that the speed attained was fully sixty
miles an hour, and that all the parts Of
the machinery worked with great cx-
actness. 1t would seem as if we nigh,
now almost venture 10 pronounce the
days of the steam railway as number
ed. A speed Of a mile a minute, is as
great a stride beyond the stage coach
rate Of twenty years ago"

FROM MExIco.-The barque Ann
Louisa arrived last evening in 90 days
from Vera Cruz. She brings S45,737
in specie.
Among her passengers is Francisco
Mendez, bearer of dispatches from our
Minister in Mexico, Gen. Thompson
to the American government.
Accounts from the department of
Sonora represent the government for
ces TO have obtained advantages over
the insurgents, which, it was supposed,
would result in their dispersion.
Santa Anna, who, as before stated,
had been elected President by large
majority, was at Vera Cruz when the
Ann Louisa left, preparing the forts
and otherwise getting in readiness for
the arrival Of the British fleet which
was daily expected from Havana.
Some remarkable ancient ruins have
been recently discovered in the De-
partment Of Oajaca. In reconnoiter-
ing the district of Teoltlan, in order
to ascertain the best route for a road,
the surveyor, Rafael Villa Gomez,
came upon the ruins of great town.
1t had been only partially explored at
the date Of our advices, but the ruins
of more than 100 houses had already
been observed, and the guide said the
principal edifices were still beyond.
These ruins are called "Fhe Palaces
of Militia" They exhibit a style Of
architecture altogetherunlike the styles
known in art, either ancient or modern
yet they are not wanting in just pro-
portions, symmetry and beauty, which
give splendor and grace to the whole,
as well as to the parts. This ruined
town must have been built by race
which preceded the Mcxicans, but
whether by the Indians or people
still more remote is question which
belongs to the antiqnarians and we are
not disposed TO 60 into il here.

CONTEMpTIBLE MISREPRESENVA

In a letter of April 23d, 1914, written
by James K. Polk upon tbs subject Of
the immediate annexation Of Texas to this
Union, the following paragraph occurs:
ain 1919 the Florida treaty was conc'u"
ded at Washington, By Mr.. JOHN Quincy
Adams Chen Secretary Of sate) on tEeI
part of the United States, and Don Louis del
Onis, on The part of Spain; and by that
treaty this territory ying west the Sabine,
and constituting Texas, was coded By the
United States to s pain. That tie hio DEL
Norte or some more tgfstern boundary than
me Sabine could have been obtained, had III
been insisted on By the American Secretary
Of State, and without increasing The coRsld
Grafton paid for the Flordas,l have no, a

Here is an attempt to throw the reepon'
sibii,y Of The Florida treaty upon Mr.. Ad'
ans, and an insinuaion that he did not d
his duty or he would have obtained a more
western boundary and saved Texas. Nov
Col. Polk knew or ought 10 have known e.
he is a candidate for the Presidency an
oush, to be acquainted with the polite
history Of the country that this represent'

was President and Mr., Monroe Secretary

matters between the United States {
