the country. A monthly tax of 300 is
levied on every merchant, and mechanics
are taxed agreeably to the proceeds of their
respective vocations, estimated by the col
lecting officer. He also requires from each
State, certain number of men for the aug
mentation of his army. The troops to be
raised in this way are to number in the az.
gregate, 81 900. To effect this levy Of
troops the peculiar Mexican volunteer sys-
TEN is adopted. As many Of our readers
may not be familiar with this mode of rais-
ing volunteers, we will give a brief descrip-
ton of the operation. Officers are seht in
to the country to enlist volunteers. o.
Willing or not the men are forced into rank,
tied together by long ropes, and thus led to
the recruiting station, when they are dis
tributed among the different corps. The
principal officers Of this army are Span
iards,
"Military rule is instituted in all the
States, much to the discontinue and dissat-
isfaction of the people. Many of those liv-
ing on the Rio Grande are continually cross
ing to this side to avoid CONSUMPTION. Pa.
rents are sending their sons over, aiding
them, as far as lays in their power, with
means to gain livelihood in their voluntary
exile"
The informant Of Our San Antonio cotefh-
porary says that most Of the Mexicans look
upon war with the United States as inevi-
table: that many desire war as a relief from
the expressions they now labor under, while
others deprecate it, believing it will lead to
the destruction of their nationality. Be-
sides there are some fools who believe a
war would result in redemption Of their
military fame.
When Mr.. Adams (the informant Of our
San Antonio cotemporary) left, it was re-
ported that the States of Guanajuata, Qua
dalaiura and Morelia had pronounced
against Santa Anna. 1t was believed that
Chihuahua and several of the neighboring
States would follow the example.
The Austin State Gazette has gratifying
intelligence concerning the crops. 1t says:
"a highly intelligent gentleman of Cass
county, now in this city informs us that he
has travelled recently over most of the
northern and upper central counties of the
State, and in all that region the crops Of
corn are most bountiful, and the cotton
crop is promising beyond precedent. -
We believe the crops throughout the State
are Of similar character with the above"

Dedication Of the Presbyterian Church
and Odd Fellows Hall.

On Sunday last, the new Presbyterian
Church of this place was dedicated to the
worship of Almighty God, with the usual
solemnities - Introductory exercises and
dedicatory Prayer, by Rev. James Gallaher,
Of st. Charles; Sermon, by Rev. VIM.
Homes, of st. Louis; concluding services,
by the Pastor of the Church. On Tuesday,
the Hall was also dedicated in due form, af-
Ter an address from the Rev. Mr.. Homes.
Both of these solemnities were largely at
tended, and were witnessed with lively i'll
terest by the very respectable audiences
convened for these occasions.
The 81. M. Cledenn" arrived on Tues
day morning agreeable to previous arrange
ment with members of the Order of Odd
Fellows from Lodges IN the river towns be-
low, and Band of music from St. Louis.
Immediately on the arrival of the boat, the
brethren of this town, together with men,
bers from abroad who had previously ar
rived, Joined those from the boat in a pro-
cession through some of our principal sts.,
to the Presbyterian Church; where, after
prayer by Rev. Pres't Shaver, was heard
the address by Rev. Mr.. Homes. These
services concluded, the members of the or
der, together with many others of the ladies
and gentlemen assembled, repaired in q
body to the Hail. which was then sole,nnly
dedicated 10 the services of the Order
These exercises throughout were eminently
pleasing and imposing in their character,
afforded a rich entertainment TO all present.

SHOOTING IN SOUTH CARRoLLros Ky
We learn that rather singular rencontre
came of in South Curollton, Muhlenbure
county, one day last week, in which ayoung
lady vindicated her name and fame, armed
with revolver, and shot the calumniator
the ball taking effect in his throat, inhictine
terrible and perhaps fatal wound.
The young lady is a daughter of Col
Wilson, and is of the highest responsibility
and character, and hearing that the young
man in question, whose name we have for.
gotten, had been slandering her, she in COM
pany of her father, went in search of him
Upon being questioned, he could not, or did
not deny the allegations, and the young lady
shot him on the spot.

Gen. Cass, in very recent letter to the
President, most cordially assures him of
his high personal and political regard: de-
clares that no President ever had so many
difficulties to encounter; that his course had
been wise, judicious, patriotic; that the
writer will accept no position under the
Government, but that of Senators; and that
the President can rely upon his (Gen. C's)
earnest, hearty support Of the Administra-
ton. -s4.-

From the Georgia Con,titutionalist.
Letter from Mr. Dix.
Nrw YoRK, Aug. 81


DR.. l. P. GARvIN-Dear Sir: ! have just
received your favor Of the 26th INST, stat
ing that am represented by Wing presses
and itnerant orators in Georgia as an abo-
litionist, &c., and thank you for the oppor-
tunity you have afforded me, of saying in
reply:
LIST. That am not, and never have been,
an abolitionist in any sense Of that term
On the contrary, have been an open and
uniform opponent of all abolition move
ments in the State, and elsewhere, since
they commenced in 1896, to the present
time. While in the Senate Of the United
States. opposed the extension of slavery
to free territory--a question entirely distinct
from interference with slavery where it al
ready exists. In the latter case, have
steadily opposed all external interference
with it.
I'd. That have on all occasions, public
and private, since the fugitive slave law
passed, declared myself in favor Of carry
ing it into execution in good faith, like eve
~ other law Of the land.
Sd. That I was in favor of the union Of
the democracy of this State, which was
consummated in 1850, continued in 1851 on
the basis of the compromise measures, and
in 1852 on the basis of the Baltimore plat
form.
18th. That I have, since the Baltimore
convention, in June. 1862, repeatedly given
my public assent to its proceeding and ac-
qdiesced III its declarations, as an adjust
ment Of disturbed questions, by which ]
was willing 10 abide.
Tn these points, u may write you more
fully in few days, and in the meantime you
are at liberty to use this brief reply to your
note as you may think proper.
lam, dear sir,
Very respectfully yours,
JOHN A. DIX.

the time, for her brother who had been
driving, had just stepped into the house of
a friend, leaving the carriage before the door
Mt the sidewalk. The mules becoming
frightened started off at full speed, and Miss
Woods, seeing the danger in which she was,
jumped from the carriage, fracturing her

The PAclFIc RAILRoAD.-A commun-
cation is published from Mr.. Norris, The
distinguished mechanical engineer, of Phla-
delphia, relative to the Pacific Railroad, in
which he estimated the total cost Of trans
porting 200 passengers from St. Louis to
San Francisco at $3.50, including every en-
pense of motive power, with interest on the
cost Of engines ears, sc, allowing 400 Passen-
gers both ways day. 10000 passengers
at $50 would give an income of So, $50, Oo0
per year; and allowing the road to cost $780,
600 per mile, for 1000 miles, would yield
sI-IO per cent. interest on a capital oil
100 100000.
