The Matamoras Reveile says there
is one incident connected with the
history Of Monterey,in Nuevo Leon,
which is not generally known. The
streets were paved by American pris-
oners, taken by the forces Of Gen. Ar
redondo, from Mina's unfortunate ex-
pedition of 1916, and cemented with
their blood. These men who bad no
bly, perillcd their lives 20 obtain the
independence OF Mexico, we're taken
prisoners, and after being kept at
hard Iabar on the streets of Monterey
for months, were taken ont and base

General Houston.

Twice President of the Republic ol
Texas, has taken bis seat in the SEN
ate of the United States as one Of toe
Senators Of the State of Texas.
The history Of this parsonage is
full Of remarkable events; of these bis
appearance at Washington, at This
time under the circumstances Of the
case, is not the least remarkable.--
Twelve years ago Samuel Houston
stood at the bar Of the House of Rep.
resentatives Of the United States to
be reprimanded by the Speaker
Since that he has dismembered ma
tion, achieved a revolution, organ
lied an independent sovereignty; and
now crowned with the glory Of a con-
qaeror and a statesman, he returns
with his trophies 10 the capitol, bav-
ing brought to this republic terrific.
ry large enough to form what in Eu-
rope, would be considered an empire.
Fortunate in acquisition, he has been
not less so in surrender; Oicit cedendo.
While the career of Gen. Houston
has indicated him 10 be something
more than an ordinary man, the rep
reservations Of bis enemies have held
him up as one of the vilest. All quail
tiles Of greatness have been denied
him-even courage the most common,
though the most Indispensable char
acteristic of manhood. The faculty
of appropriating to himself the credit
of other mems merits, Of reaping the
results of other mems labors, is the
only gift of intellect in which he is
allowed 10 be distinguished. But such
accusations as these disprove them
selves-as guns overloaded to destroy
an enemy burst in the discharge and
s!ay those that hold them. Under all
circumstances of his difficult service in
Texas, during the war there and af.
forwards, Gen. Houston invariably
possessed the confidence of The Texan
people. The world looks at results.

blood and fire of The revolution, sig

Wealth Of John Jacob .4stor, of Ne1O

We are told by persons who are inti-
mately acquainted with MFR. Astor's
wealth, that his property is worth al
least twenty-five millions of dollars, "A
very large portion of which is in the
most rapidly increasing part of the
city. After all his expenditures. and
sums paid to his children and grand
children, he reinyested last year from
his revenue over one million Of dollars.
His whole receipts cannot be much
less than million and a half year.

tories, unless he have in bimself the
faculty of command; he cannot estab-

such elements made up the mass of

Christian churches; IN the midst of
the riches and magniticence Of the
proud city, how many of Us are left TO
hunger, ard no one offers us food:
how many are in arrears, aud no ore
will clothe us!' The lame and the
blind, the old and decripid, the young
and the delormed, haunt the footsteps
of the stranger and inplore that be-
nevoence which theiro own community
exhausts on distant lands, and in sick
y and absurd sympathy for the negro
race-the happiest in the world!
Even the hotels are crowded with
these mendicants; they beset you on
the steamboat, they leap on the steps
of your carriage. One sees boys and
girls, almost naked, filthy and squal,
i'd; old men reeling with drunkenness,
women fostering with exoesses, all
following the the trade Of begging =
Such scenes as these are never seen
10 the South.
The American who goes to Europe
is prepared to see the effects of bad
government in the extremes Of socie-
ty, great wealth and excessive power
ty. Splendid places every where
overlook the wretched cottages Of the
laborer. The naughty noble with
bis subservient train, drives through
the land scarcely degning to know the
misery that surrounds him. Wherev
er thrones and mobiles exist, we know
that the masses are used TO maintain
their grandeur and contribute 10 their
luxury. We are prepared for all
this. But surely 10 the great CONNER
cial cities of this young Republic
pauperism should not be found; noI
ever permitted. 1t argues something
wrong in the constitution Of society
or the operation Of the laws. OuI
country abounds with all the blessing:
and advantages that a people can pos
sibly desire. They are literally. Law
ished upon US, and such is the charac
ter Of our political institutions. thai
these advantages are free to all
How then is it that such poverty anC
destituton are found in New York
along with such extremes of wealth
We advise our Northern brethren te
look into this matter and apply The
remedy. Let us Of the South alone
Let US manage our own affairs. Wher

The North and South.

The New York Tribune, Erpress.
and other papers Of that class at the
North are constantly filled with la
mentations over the wretchedness oi
the Southern negro, and some OF their
evangelical journals seem to regard
US heather and benighted race
Our negroes may be very wretched in
their sleek and well.fed skins and
comfortable dresses, but not one OF
them would exchange his easy servl'
tude, for freedom and starvation and
oppression at the North. We have
here in New Orleans another great
advantage over New York. We have
no begging and few paupers. 1t is a
matter of surprise that the philanthro-
pists who swarm in the Eastern cities,
who devote their time, talents and
means to benevolent enterprises in
foreign countries, and who seem TO be
SO much distressed for the unhappy
condition of the South, should over"
look, for the most part, the want and
misery at home.
In the city of New York, for exam
pie, there are some two hundred pla-
ces of worship; temples dedicated to
the Christian religion; there are soci-
cites of all kinds for difusing this re-
lgion in the most distant lands; they
have numerous journals and periodi-
Gals devoted TO the different sects and
to the benevolent designs they profess
to accomplish; yet with all these they
seem to have produced no practical
results, at least for the white race at
home. They have hospitals, and asy-
lums and benevolent institutions of
many kinds, and yet with all these,
one cannot walk the streets without
being importuned, at every step, in
the name Of God, to bestow an aims on
some wretched beggar, who filings
himself in your way. In the promen-
ades On the Battery, the Park, and a.
long St. Paul's chapel, they present
themselves in every aspect Of defor-
nifty Disease and dissolution. They
seem to say to you-'Behold in the
midst of these shady walks; in view Of
