Messrs. Editors The communication ~ the

troubled waters to soclhe and allay rising
commoion in the Democratic party in This coun-
IT, So far was il from the authors intention TO
introduce the caucus system into practice, he has
been opposed 10 it through lie, except IN such
cases of necessity where no other means would
answer. In The aforementioned communica-
ion he recommended the propriety Of The citizens
Of the county oil Louisa, from every part OF the
county, meeting. atlhcir Court house on February
or March Court or both, ii the weather Should
permit, and there aud then freely conve-siag on
their rights, their prospects d their views re-
specting the ensuing Spring Election. All this
10 be done in open, broad day, upon The court
green 81 their county We can elect bul one
man 10 the Legisaure-should he mol be the
most discreet and capable among Us? Ii such
can be found among the candidates, should We
not unite on him If there be no such man
among The candidates, let such an one be sought
elsewhere. The thing is practicable ard easily
performed, i, rishtfully commenced and properly
persisted in. Let such questions as the following
be put 10 each candidate and his friends and neigh
bors II you sh ,uld be withdrawn from the can
vass, whom will you and your friends support =
Will il be one OF the other candidates or some
body c'se2 LIE, the same or similar questions be
nut TO each candidate and their friends, and il
will be quickly discovered whether either OF them
have more than sectional interest in the county
II will also discover who is The most popular man
in the county. In the present stale OF things, II is
impossible in The very nature olthe case that either
OF The candidates can be elected, and old Louisa
will be represented by a Wing, 10 crafty The am
bilon OF few aspiranls, whose only IewaId
will be the recollection that they have been di'ap..
pointed candidates in The county Of Louisa, and
through their means the county has been mlsrep-
resented.

MArAMoRAs (Mexico), July Z, 1916.
In my last, allusion was made to the spirit of
the Mexican clergy, both in praying for the souls
of the slain and avsrting the balls Of the enemy
from the living, by their presence on the BATTLE
field. We saw how the holy zeal Of one of the
sacred order evaporated at the approach of dan
ger. Whether the priest will impart inspiration
to his countrymen more efectualy in the next
engagement, remains to be seen.
Let me now describe the spirit which influences
some OF the American parsons. This will best be
done by giving single example. A few morn
,,ngs since, on Sunday, riding through our camp,
i met with tall gentleman IN military uniform,
and covered with dress cap of ultra dimensions
In breadth and height. His manner was frank
and his address familiar, and my first impression
WINS, that had met hunter from Arkansas or
the hands of the surrounding Mexicans He soon

The Troops at Braxos ordered TO join Cen Taylor at
Mafapsoras- The Fourth on the Island-Dedths Of 70
Iunfeers.
The orders from General Taylor last evening were,
that the troops stationed at this place, now numbering
about twenty hundred hold themselves in readiness
to march ~ headquarters at moments warning Per-
haps the runner which originated in the Mexican camp
and thoroughly circulated that they preparing for
attack upon Matamoras and the fact that Gen Pare

bearing shade Of truth And a. he 10 man Of quick
perception and deep penetration never dlatory to per
form the duty he owes to his station ard country, he
has made these ORDERS TO be in perfect readiness to meet
any emergency which may occur. But | am Of the
same opinion now that have been since the last battle,
thatthe enemy will not make another attack upon us
very soon, and that the hosttes entirely ended,
unless we march further into the interior Of Mexico and
that the next battle that fought will be at Monterey
where the Mexican army il stationed. In time we
shall see what shall see.n

In what way, the difficulties Of the two countries

these can pass forth proposition of peace with
any expectation of its meeting generous conside-

possible for Mexico crippled, as though she is, to

conciiatory ON the part of the United States, it
