FROM ST. THOMAS.
There was nothing of importance taking place in
St. Thomas at the time of departure, with the ex'
ception of new postal Law which was carried into
| effect about month ago. TO the very great dsssts-
faction of the public, and ruin of the mercantile
community. My general impression is that the law
will soon be repealed on account OF Its unpopuanty
VENEZUELA NEWS.
Venezuela continues TO enjoy the blessing o. peace
already commencing 10 reap the advantages of it.
The telegraph between Lagusyra and Caracas WI
soon commence operations to the very great delight
of the intelligent portion Of the community. Great
credit s due TO Mr. Manuel dc Montufa for his untrug
perseverance and herculean efforts to establish in
Venezuela an enterprise which few months ago was
even Knocked at. The wires will extend not only to
Caracas. but also TO Valencia and Puerto Cabello,
tayeisiDg distance of l56 miles.
Congress is still sitting. The last reading to the
great rahoad project had been given in the House,
and there is every reason to believe teat before the
sessions come TO an end il will be law of the Republic
This is another enterprise which in conJu1ction with
the telegraph and steam, communication, Id destined 10
change the face of that maghcent country, that re-
quires but very few years Of peace to be again the
gem of South America. . -
great step will be taken next year by the Govera-
mtn of Venezuela to wit reform of it, Constitution
and fpossbe, the reconstruction OF the ancient hd
public Of Columbia, under a federal system. Matters
have arrived such state that it requires strong
hand and firm " i'll to make things take their natural
course and to afford protection and security 10 she
peaceful citizen in the exercise OF his daiy
Ii is generally conceded that under the existing CIR
cumstances Gen Jose Tadeo Monagas is the only man
that can save Venezuela from the anarchy and ruin
that has for some time threatened her, and deeply IN
pressed as he is with the desire of her future happ
ness it becomes sacred duty Of every hgh-mnded
Venezuelan 10 sustain and support him III bis efforts
TO degenerate the country and render 1t prosperous
and happy.
The Dutch question has been amcaby settled, and
great praise is due to the Foregn Ministers for their
exertiobs bringing this unpleasant affair 70 speedy
and fair termination. Prominent among them Is the
Hon. Charles Eames, American Minister resident al
Venezuela, who has now given more proof OF the
esteem in which he holds that country and the great
satisfaction be always experienced in doing something
IN its favor, well he Goes toward all Amercaa
citizens in their different claims to watch he attends
