sSA friend in Southwestern New
York, remitting subscription for the
Star d: Chronicle, says:
money is decidedly scarce in this
region, among farmers particularly. Since
the N.I.& Erie Railroad has passed under
the Receivers control, its employees. are
paid with satisfactory punctuality.
Southwestern New Y ork has been COM
PEELED by the scarcity Of feed (the conse-
quence of the great June Fros) to give up
to Pennsylvania drovers, eager for the
purchase, thousands of oxen and sheep.
The stampede of live stock this fall from
this county has never been parallelled
aud must affect it ipjuriously for four or
five years to come.
OF apples and fruit generally we have
none this year; OF wheat, corn and buck.
wheat enough for home use and some to
spare. Oats never yielded better. Fod
der was badly injured by being frosted.
Farmers will probably live comfortably
through the season, but can do very lit
tie towards paying up old Indebtedness,
which in the aggregate is very large. In
politics, there is little stirring. The Re-
publicans await with confidence the State
election as their ticket embraces men of
well known fitness for the stations to " hich
they have been nominated. The unto
ward condition Of our canals-for which
the Republicans are no more responsible
than are the Demoerats-is made the sta
pie Of the political diatribes of their papers
and orators.
The suspicious. Inconsistent. conduct of
the American at Utica, in placing in nom
ination mongrel ticket made up of the
Democratic aud Republican nominees,
while announcing opposition to the prin-
ciples of both, will have its legitimate effect.
The next election will put an ex,in-
quisher on the New York Sam" which
will be final. L.
FILLIBUsTEEING AGAINST Us-The
people of the United States have been SO
accustomed to see tillibusteriDg parties
leaving our own territories to invade those
of our neighbors, and in the earliest at
tenpts of this kind, as in Cuba, applaud,
ing them as something heroic, that they
are taken little aback with the fact that
our Mexican Deigbbors have discovered
that this is game that two can play at,
and have retaliated by invading the Uni
ted States. The audacity of such acts now
appears strikingly manifest, and Of their
criminal there is scarely doubt remain
ing, for the demand for punishment will
be quite loud. Texas has, however, but
little to complain Of She has set the cx
ample Of just such raids against Mexico
For ten years past, at intervals, we have
had to record outragcs of nearly similar
character, the invasion of Mexican terri
tory from Brownsville by Texans, even in
the face of the United States authorities
Once there was an invasion, fight and a
partial burning of Mexican village, aud
it is quite common to hear that an armed
body has crossed the Rio Grande from
Texas to re-capture runaway slaves. We
have seer advertisements within . few
years, in papers of Western Texas, calling
for volunteers to invade Mexico, and have
frequently had to denouuce this lawlsss-
ness. The Mexican Government appears
to have acted honorably in intcrpo,ing its
protection to the citizens of Brownsville,
and We suppose that the United States
Government will see that the southwes-
tern frontier is more securely guarded
against lawless aggressions on either side.
The tendency of this inroad on the part of
the Mexican filibusters will..be to induce
retaliation from the American side, and
we shall soon be carrying on war with
Mexico upon our frontier line without
Congress ever having authorized hostili-
tiles, if something is not done to prevent
it. The military force at Brownsville
should be large enough not only to chas-
tise the audacity of Mexican robbers, but
effective enough to put check upon the
lawlessness Of Texan fi!libstsrs-Hlad.
