The states or Honduras, Nicaragua, and
San Salvador.
Tssnslated from the 0acea of San Salvador June 20
The States of Honduras, Nicaragua, and San
Salvador, are busily engaged in the election Of de.
| puties fo. the national constituent Assembly, which
viii settle ,or ever the destiny Of Central Au erica.
| The three Ststes are looking for the ablest men,
known by their fame and their patriotism, in order
to send them to this great popular body to repre-
sent their rights ard 10 organise tho confederacy.
The deputies are already elected in Honduras in
Nicaragua the election is now going with vigor,
ard in Salvador it will take place in three days.
We recommend our citizens to act and consider
with the greatest attention n ina. eec.ion Tor tn,
object is great vital. and OF the highest i'm portanoe
to fhe country All those in ioreigl countries, and
particularly in the Northern republic, who interest
them elves ia the good being of Central America =
all those who wish to establish themselves in this
country and all spectators, advise ~ the fest step
to be taken, the prompt organization OF the ma
tonal government. The important results Of this
step ere known 10 every one, and aow, for the fret
time, it is easy to see that the confederscy Will be
carried into effect. The sincerity AMI good faith
with which the governments OF the three States
work for unity, is the best guarantee furnished Us,
and we can foresee that Central America will very
soon appear as united and strong, as i! was before
the dissolution of the federal treaty.
As for Salvador, it will use all possible means to
render this enterprise successful. In week from
this time, our twelve de puies will be elected, and
they will proceed without any delay, to the poilt
fixed for the meeting. This great assembly, it is
hoped, Will give to the repub ic const tuition anal
agous to the principles Of the day, and to the popu
lar representative system; it will establish n ma
tional Executive, with sufficient power to fulfil its
functions; it will adjust the tariff uni for nly and
port dues On both seas; IL will take charge of all
means OF communication on seas or on land; and,
in fine, 1T will give to the country single impulse
facii sating, in that manner, its prosperity and ad
vancement Commerce, particularly in the ports
Of the South, will develope itself with the gre lest
rapidly, and all will prove that these States will
undergo salutary change. Agriculture acquires,
from day to day, a new developement, and the
spirit of enterprise is spreading in all parts. The
prudence and patriotism Ofour Governors sire
the hopes OF the multitude, who want only security
to resume their ordinary business. If the great as
semby which is about to meet, understanding its
bright mission, fills ne objects for which it was nom
nated the country will wake from its fatal lethar
gy, and those who may have contributed to the
reconstruction of the social edi6ce will be blessed
by the present and future generations.
For long time We have heard different camors,
without combination or concert, about national
unity. Now the opinion is general, and advances
with gigantic steps towards plan which, sustained
with perseverance, will give the best results. The
plan now proposedis known to us-t was once put
IN practice and gave us unity and national govern
ment. great Congress, in which are elected nu-
merous talented men, is very precious guarantee
for liberty and the rights of the people. The sys-
tenn which all the American continent wants to
adopt is we'll known, and il is unnecessary for Ms
to repeati it. Republicanism, popularity, represen-
taive institutions, and democracy, have taken deep
root in this hemisphere, and there is no human
power sufficient to stop the progressive movement
towards the best social condition by means OF lbe-
raj institutions This confidence makes us repose
with tranquility in our desire, and we care little
for the slight obstacles which the leaders of the
PROCESSION and darkness pretend to oppose. Th,
words liberty ana equality have a magic power
which cunning cannot overcome-rehned cstnce.
To follow, with decision, these principles, is what
prudence advises, and we, for our part will follow
that way in order not to separate ourselves from
general opinion and public desire.
INTERESTING FROM TExAs.-It is about cert ain
now that Bell is elected Governor, Howard to Con-
gress from the Western, and Scurry from the
Eastern District, all democrats. The Galveston
NocS says that the steamship Mexico was moved
some ten feet on Saturday week, by the Galveston,
when further efforts were abandoned, in conse-
quence Of fail Of tide. Afterwards squall sprang
up, raising the water considerably, by which the
Mexico carried some forty feet nearer the chan
nel 1t is now thought that she will be easily
got of on the first high tide. We have, Of late,
seen some indications, and heard many surmises
Of another approaching revolution in Mexico. The
Sierra Madre, by which Mexico will lose another
portion Of territory, equal to that she has already
lost. 1t is also surmised that Arsta will be at the
he ead Of this revolution, should he be overthrown
from his present power in Mexico. In relation to
the crops, a letter from Centreville, Leon county
says-''l gratifed to say that the crops in this
country have more aattering appearance than II
any Of the counties in the Valley of the Trinity
from Harris to Dallas. The planters make no com
plant respecting their cotton crops From the
long drought the corn has not matured so full as
there had been more rain; yet the latter crop viii bC
abundant, and to spare, for the fall emigration ex
pected from Ala ba ma. This county is composed o
wothirds the population originally from that State
Sumter, Greene, Pickens, and Marengo, have re
| presentations and the ensuing season will add many
more solvent planters from those counties to ou
| present population" The editor of the. Red Lans
| Herald has learned, from intelligent planters from
various portions of Nacogdoches county, tn At the
long and uninterrupted drought has caused almos
an entire failure of the corn crop in that county
ard that, in all probability, the cotton crop in that
and the adjoining counties will be exceedingly
| short. The plants are shedding their blooms and
your bolts to such extent as TO Justify the be-
lief that there will not be more than half crop
