The CoRPUs CHRISTI STAR.-We have receiv.
ed the first number of new paper bearing the
above title 1t is published at Corpus Christi, BY
our old friend and correspondent ]. H. PEOPLES,
known to our readers as ChaparraI,' and to the
whole reading public as the indefatgable and able
pioneer o. the American Press in Mexico. Mr..
Peoples accompanied the van of the Army during
the recent war, and wherever it made a halt, he
found the means Of establishing paper, and be-
coming the historian of its progress, until na y tbs
capital was taken, and there he acquired something
like "local habitation'' for his American Star,
which was continued with industry and ability,
but we fear with little profit on his part, until the
army evacuated the country Mr. PEOPLES has
deserved well of the American Press for the
early and correct information which he furnished,
through his paper, of all the important events in
Mexico during the war. That he may be eminent
ly successful in his present undertaking, is our
earnest wish.
