! KAlL ROAD MEETING.

! NAIL hoAD MEE IlNG.
I At very full meeting of the citizens
of Laurens District in the G.. Fl on Tues
day OF court, Capt. Robert Cunningham
was called 70 the chair, and Messrs Far
ley and Simpson were requested to act
as secretaries.
Henry c. Young Esq. explained the
object OF the meeting, and stated that he
felt deep interest in the success Of the
Columbia and GreenvilIe rail road, and
would do all in his power to promote
the same.
Col. Irby also addressed the meeting,
and in the course Of his remarks observed
that he would cheerfully give the road
five thousand to have it completed, and
in doing so, would make good bargain
by the increased value Of his lands in
Laurens district, which the road will
cause.
Mr.. B. F. Perry of Greenville, was
then called upon to address the meeting,
which he did at considerable length.
He stated that we might see how it would
increase the value Of our lands in Lau-
rens district, by looking TO other portions
of our country. The rail road between
Charleston and Columbia, had increased
the value of those pine barren lands
from fifty cents an acre, to five dollars,
and fifteen dollars per acre. In the
western part of New York those rich
Genessee lands, were so far from mar
ket, before the Erie canal and rail road
were constructed, that they were of lit
tie value. They belonged to the State
of Massachusetts, and were sold to
Phelps and Goshen for three cents an
acre. Now they cannot be purchased
for less than fifty and one hundred dol
lars per- acre! Mr.. Perry pointed out
the great advantages resulting to the cit
izens of Laurens from having market
for their produce, which the rail road
would give them. The stimulus which
it would give to the industry and agri-
culture of the district-the disbursement
Of so large sum Of money in the district.
1t would give the farmers more time to
attend to their farms-save the wear and
tear of horses and Wagons in carrying
off their products-it would keep the
people from moving TO the west. Towns
and villages would spring up on the
road. as they had done in the northern
states. He said no one could go to the
north and return without his heart feel.
ing sad at the contrast between this
country and that.
Gen. Thompson was then called upon
to address the meeting, which he did in
speech of great power and ability, and
which if the whole people Of Laurens
could have heard, would have removed
all hesitation as to the great advantages
resulting to them from the road.
Capt. Cunningham addressed the
meeting from the chair, and expressed

5lh inst, for Monterey, and had overta-
ken Gen. Worth at Seralvo, about midway
between Camargn and Monterey, and
north al the San Juan. He had in all
about $4,000 men on the road between
Camargo and Seralvo. The army was
disencumbered of baggage as far as pos
slble, all that was not indispensable hav-
inc been sent back to Matamoros. He
was establishing depot at Seralvo, and
had thirty days provision for the 10000
men at that Point, the whole of which had
been taken there from Camargo on pack
mules.
1t was reported that Ampudla was
marching from San Luis Potosi atthe head
of force variously estimated at from 4,
900 to 10, 600 men, and len pieces of ar
,illery, to the relief of Monterey, at which
CITY he is said to have left a garrison OF
hui 1000 or 5000 men. Notwithstand-
ino this report, it is said that Gen. Tavlo
has expressed himself confiden: of taking
Monterey and even Satillo, without strik-
ing a blow.
A proclamation issued by Ampudla
threatening death TO any Mexican who
should hold communication with the Amer
leans, had been received in the American,

From the Volunteers.

We have been permitted by friend to
make the following extract Of letter from
one of the Carroll Volunteers. We learn
by other letters that Capt. Howard's health
was improving, and that he expected to
join the company on the road to Monterey.
Ten of the company (names not mention
ed,) were left sick at Camargo. The Car
roll company was the only one which had
not lost man by sickness. Before this
time, the boys have had chance to smell
gunpowder, or are comfortably ensconsed
at Monterey-or both. drawer and more
efficient army than that now led by Gen.
TAYLOR, was never assembled. They will
maintain the renown of our arms, come
what come may. If Santa Anna ventures
to meet them, "almighty tall walking will
alone save him from imbus.

Some accounts state the force on the

We left the mouth of The RIO GranIe
on the 26lh August, and arrived here On
the Sd instant, on steamer Col. Cross-Lt
Col. M'CIung commanding our part of he
regiment. We had the Tombigby Volun-
teers, Marshall Guards, and twenty Of The
Lafayette company with us. On the 2sth
left Capt Howard, and six of our men,
sick at Matamoras, viz: Hall, Mccoy,
McLendon, Colburn, Carr, and Johns'n.
On the evening of 2Sth, a wheel broke,
which detained us until morning of 3Qh,
and Just as we were starting oil, he
Rough and Ready passed us, and br'ke
our rIdder, which detained us several hours
longer. On 3lst, left one of the Marshal
Guards at a woodward on the Mexican
side, and M'Cung refused TO have The
boat landed for him to get aboard; fotu-
place the next day, and he came up on
her. These are the only damages we re-
ceived in our trip, but were treated wr8e
than slaves all the way. Every time I'VE
landed M'Clung had a guard placed to
prevent our getting of the boat. and ten
permitted the commi ss1oned officers AID
their servants to go beyond the guard 10
buy as much milk, chickens, ierked bed,

lowed the MeXicans to pass within the
lines, and sell the remand of their bro.
visions TO The soldiers. Besides this, we
had guard placed at the entrance Of the
cabin, and no private or non-c0mmissioned
officer was permitted to enter, unless pass
ed by commissioned officer. The sick
were placed aft of the cabin, under an
awning. and subjected 10 grievous incon
veniences. Some of them were very
weak, and unable to walk without ass,4,-
ance, still they were treated with the same
neglect and severity. At Rey Dosa, the
boys were resolved TO pass the guard, AM
procure something palatable for their sick
friends, and did do it. but had TO return
without accomplishing their laudable de-
signs, on account of stream of deep wa
ter which separated US from the town.
On this occasion M'CIung came running
out with his hands on his pistols, swearing
he would shoot the first who attempted TO
pass the guard. He is the most heartless
man | ever saw.
1t is an unusual sight for an American
to see young ladies bathing. The first

Will be under the direction of two able en-
glneers, who will extend the SURVEYS. made

as TO the eligibility Of the various sites for
a new city in that harbor. We have no
doubt this will become the great CITY of
Western Texas. It's geographical position
is favorable; being near the outlet of
seven rivers, the principal of which, the
RIO Colorado, rises in the Rocky noun
talns, flowing through the elevated table

MA, Oregon, or elsewhere, that could be
devised. Some point of Matagorda Bay,
must be the outlet of the products of the
fertile prairies of the Western Texas and
the entrepot of It's commerce. The pro.
gress of Port Lavaca, as a port, family
ioreshadows what this trade and this COM
merce will be. Two years ago and rick
civ schooner was sufficient for all the
trade between that place and this. Now,
a full fleet, both steamboats, and sailing

The commercial metropolis of Texas is
