TAN. PgsS,

The following description of Tam
pico is from a small work on Mexico
by Thos.J. Farnham, Esq, recent
" published in the United States:
"Tampico de Talnaulipas is situa.
ted OH neck Of land about four hun
bred yards wide, formed by the river
Penuco on one side, and the Laguna
del Barpintero on the other. 1t is
about six miles from the sea. At
the mouth of this river there is an
insignificant ratification of three or
four old guns, more likely to injure
those who discharge them, than
those against whom they are direct
ed. The bar at the mouth of the
river admits ofvessels drawing from
seven to nine feet water, according
to the winds and season of the year.
Tampico is susceptible of being
made very strong military position,
at a very moderate expense, by sim
ply cutting ditch and running a

trcmity Of the line, at the river and
at the lake. The canal could readi-
~ be made to form the basis of the
notifications on that side. On the
upper side or entrance from Aliami-
ra, tho lanl is high, and offers some
remarkably fine sides for the defence
of that approach, the only approach
that could be used by an enemy not
having command Of the river.
Tampico is not absolutely COM

shot, though from the ILLS below the
town, on the opposite side Of the
RIVER, shot and shells can be thrown
into the southeastern part of the
town. Immediately opposite the
town, an extensive salt marsh and
lake, prevents any approach of an
cnemy's force"

CdptJin FremopfS Parly.-A
Missouri paper publishes some inter-
terasting letters from Lieut., James
Schenk, U. 5. NJ, dated on board
the frigate Congress, at Monterey,
in California. At Monterey the Con-
gress met Capt. Fremont and his
party, who had arrived there a few
days previous, overland. The lieut..
in abiding to these hardy pioneers
Of tic wilderness, says:
"l'or a few days they were tho
grand attraction, but not only to the
officers Of our squadron, but more
especially to the officers of the Col
'iaswood, an English eighty gun
ship. They are, indeed, fine speci-
mems Of the bone and sinow of our
country, with the bold and reckless
bearing which you would expect 10
meet with in men engaged in SO ha-
2ardous and daring an enterprize.--
The effect Of all this is greatly in
creased by their drcss-being en-
tireIy Of buckskin-huntng shirt,
trowscrs, and mocasins, armed with
bowie knife, pistols and rifle aston
ished us all, and made the English
men stare. OEhand, at 100 yards,

is bad for northern constitutions, and
for some months is exceedingly un-
healthy, in consequence of the
swamps and marshes, which, in a
great measure, surround it. There
is mule road to the interior, by
which Mexico and San Luis de po-
toSi may be reached through the de-
flies and gorges, and in some places
over the SierraS. Next to Vera
Cruz, Tampico is the most impor-
tant port in the Gulf, as through it,
the rich, important and popHlous
districts Of San Luis, Qucretero,
Guanaxato, Zacatecas, and a part
of Durango receive their imports
and send away their specie, hides,
jalap, sc. From Tampico the course
of the coast is nearly north, to San
lander or Soti la Marine, which is
about so miles distant. This last
port is accessible only to vessels OF
light draught, say not over seven
feet. It's through this port, in con-
ncXion with Matamoros, that the
districts of northern Tamaulipas,
New Leon, and Durango receive
their supplies of foreign products.
The Rio Grande, about $40 miles
north Of Santander, is familiar to us
all, from the recent military opera
tons on its banks. There is a chain
Of small lakes, or sounds, extending
about 100 miles of distance between
iampico and the Rio Grsndc, OF
which we lave no reliable informa-
ton, but believed, for the most part,
to be too shoal for navigation, even
by Hat boats. But little is known of
this country along the coast, except
that it is wild and much cut up by
streams emptyiag into the saoal
lakes.
From tie recent maps of Mexico,
it will be seen that the road from
Tampico to Mexico presents lar
ger distance, across the Sierra Ma
Dire, than from Tula to Santa Bar
bara. on the Fotosi. From Tau.pi-
co to hltamira, 81 miles-to Mira
dorcs from Altamira, 2G nilcs-(rom
Miradores to Santa Barbara, 20
from Santa Barbara to lula, about
&c miles, and from Tnln to Borrcgo,
So or 10 miles, &c. &c. In all this
route, when travelled it in 1914,
there were plenty of cattle, deer,
birds, and water.
From Vera Cruz to Santa Fc, u
miles; Santa Fc to Kings bridge,
II or lG miles; from thence to Ja-
lapa about 20 miles; from Jalapa to
Pcrote, which is in a table land,
about % miles. In this route p'cn-
ty of cattle and water.
From Sempoala to Vera Cruz, 81
miles, the land, and till yoa come to
the top of the hill, all is white sand,
and so continues along the coast for
many niles south f Vera Cruz, to
the depth of from five to ten miles,
and here we find no water The
sand hills which are be found, are
altered in shape by the wind. he

"And be it further enacted, That it shall
be the duty of the Postmaster General, in all
future lettings of contracts for the transpor-
tation of the mail, to let the same, in every
case, to the lowest bidder rendering sufficient
guarantees for faithful performance, without
other reference to the mode of such trans
portation than may be necessary to provide
for the due celerity, certainty, and security
of such transportation; nor shall any new
contractor hereafter be required to purchase
out, or take at valuation, the stock or vehi-
cles of any previous contractor for the same
route" ....
~ Bidders will be careful to read the
forms and instructions appended to this ad-
vertisement. They are requested to state in
their proposals, the mode by which they in
tend to convey the mail. Where the size and
weight of the mails, or the speed called for
in the schedule shall require it, the contracts
will be made for coach, steamboat, or rail-
road conveyances, as the case may be; and,
consequently, such routes will be let to bids
proposing such mode of conveyance. In all
other cases the routes will be assigned to bids
proposing the cheapest mode Of transporta-
