Negotia,ron. win mexieo.

The New Orleans Picayune Of the lIth
Inst, states that it has been put in possession
of full and complete information touching
the negotiations at Vera Cruz between the q.
s. Minister, Mr.. McLAsE. and the Juarez
Government; and gives the following as the
concessions asked by the Minister
!. The right of way for railroad. through
the Northern States of the Republic, from
some point on the Rio Grande, 10 be afteI-
wards determined, to the port of Mazatlan,
on the Pacific.
2. The right of way for railroad, to be
constructed equally by Americans and Ameri-
can capital. from the Southern boundary of
the territory of Arizona. to the port of Quay
mas on the gulf of California.
3. The right freely to navigate the waters
of the Gulf of California, at the western
tcrmini OF these rontes, also the free use OF
other ports necessary for the entry of goods
therein
A. The right to erect snch warehouses as
might he necessary for the accommodation of
business therein, at both termini of these, as
also of the Tehuantepec Transit route.
8. The right to transport United States
troops and munitions Of war over all Of these
routes, TO or from the Pacific, at certain times
and on certain conditions.
g. The right, in case Mexico herself failed
TO do so, ourselves to give protection to each
and all these great transit routes, In such
manner as might seem to us fit, even to the
introduction OF United States troops, if found
necessary.
Each of these propositions, the Picdyfne
declares, is of the highest public Importance,
but neither of them is of any value without
the last: The Mexican Government, readily
consented to the first five but rejected the
last. Here the negotiations came to dead
lock, and at that point they remained when
Mr.. McLANE left for home. When he returns
TO Vera Cruz, the negotiations will be resum-
ed and we trust with success.
The Picayune mentions the following cir
cumstance as a curious episode to the nego-
tons:
Some days after everything had come to
dead lock at Vera Cruz, on the very point
alluded to above, the Minister was surprised
at the receipt of an imposing document.
which might easily have passed for State
paper, direct from the Able Sieyes's drawer
Nor did its appearance belie it. 1t cut the
Gordian knot at once, settled with the shake
OF pen the whole difficulty between the two
countries. 1t was, in effect, what it was en-
titled, "A Treaty of Alliance between the
Republics of the United States and Mexico"
in which, after a good deal of Able Sieyes
theorizing and Fourth OF July eloquence
about the mission of the two great republics
of the new world, and the necessity of acting
in unison the better to resist the encroach-
ments of European despotism, it proposed an
alliance, offensive and defensive, between the
two countries, by virtue of which we were to
receive all the benefits of Mexican civiliza-
ton, and the protection of Mexican arms ii
necessary, in return for the same protection
to them.

Mount Vernon Record that the work of put
ting Mount Vernon in good condition has
been fairly begun. Since the first OF July,
workmen, under the supcrintendeuce of a
competent gentleman, have been busily en-
cleaning up the old and almost forgotten
paths, and terrifying in some measures the
sacred spot against the ravages of decay.
The Record also states that SIS, 900 OF the
fourth and last instalment for the purchase
of Mount Vernon has been already paid to
Mfr. Washington, leaving only about $4,000
to be paid to complete the purchase.

A Large Pile of Money Taken at Terre


A temporary agent of the American Ex-
press Company, at Terre Haute within the
past two or three weeks, has taken packages
and parts of packages of various amounts of
money passing through that Office in such
sums as to make an aggregate reaching near
$40. 900. This was all staked aud lost at
gaming tables. The last sum taken was an
entire package of 1000 for the Parke
County Bank. This was all lost In one night
at gambling saloon. Growing desperate at
this heavy loss, the last of series OF consid-
cradle length, the express agent pulled pis-
tol from his pocket and demanded the money
or the life OF the winner of the pile. The
money WAS handed back to him, and bis de-
predations in the express Office discovered the
next day. -.-ssa.-.--- -
Measures were taken TO recover the money,
nearly all of which was ascertained to be in
the hands of parties in Terre Haute-mostly
young men--in the habit of playing cards for
amusement and profit. The position of the
parties holding the money was such. that, in
order to prevent open exposure the whole
amount of the money stolen. staked and lost,
with the exception of some $500, was surrend-
cred to the Express Company.
The affair has created considerable talk
at Terre Haute, and discussions as to the state
of society in that city are free and frequent.
The temporary agent purloining the money
had not been arrested al last accounts.-H-

Illinois Fair.

CHICAGO, Sept. Is.
The principal feature of interest in the fair
to-day was the formal opening of the cere-
monies by an eloquent speech from Thigh
man. the President, giving history of its
origin and objects. He was followed by
Senators Crittenden and Douglas. The fol-
lowing States were represented. Ohio, Illinois,
California, Maryland, Iowa, Kentucky, Wis
consin, Vermont. Pennsylvania, New York,
Texas, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts,,
Connecticut, Michigan, and the Territory of
Kansas.
Among the distinguished visitors are
Senators Hale, Stuart, Crittenden, and Dou-
glas.
The Grand Eucampment of the United
States commenced its session to-day. The
delegation promises to be large and is thus
far composed of the most influential men in
the Masonic order.

and Alabama Railroad.

Tennessee and Alabama Railroad.
We are indebted to the Superintendent Of
this road for the Seventh Annual Report of
the Board of Directors. We learn from this
Report that the Road will be completed to
Mt. Pleasant during the present Fall. q dis
lance of 81 miles from Nashville. The bust
ness of the Road shows q wholesome increase
over any former year, and is as follows:
Earnings...------.-.-.. ....$5o,l2s OF
Running Expenses. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. n $50 II
Nett Earnings for the year Al $40 40
Owing TO the substantial manner in which
the Road is constructed the running ex-
peuses, including salaries, repairs, DC, amount
TO only 81 per cent. of the earnings
figure at which, We presume. there are but
few, if any. other Roads in the Union OPP
Grated. The srecord Of accidents" is thus
made by The Superintendent.
"Trains have been running over the Road
for more than four years. and / am glad to
be able to repeat what has been repeated
before, that up 10 this time no train has eUg bsen
of Of the track. nor has aug passenger or tram
hand eUer been injured"
When we note the fact that there were
81 ,95l miles run and 59,62s passengers con-
veyed during The last year, besides all that
has ever been done on the Road before, this
record is probably without parallel in the
history of Railroads.
The able Engineer of the Road, Mr.. A. An
DERsoN, in his report, confirms the view taken
and fr.ouantlv ur0ad hv tho TpTnT and IL G
correspondents, that the interest of the road,
and a fortiori, of Nashville and the country
through which the road passes, demands di-
rect connection with New Orleans and Mobile,
on the route originally designed by this Com
pany and the New Orleans, Jackson and
Great Northern Road. The amendment of
the charter of this Company and its conse-
quent termination at Mt. Pleasant, has put an
end to this design. The engineer, however
suggests that a connection may be made, and
is proposed by means of the Southern Cen
trail from Columbia to Decatur, and from De-
catur to Aberdeen, Mississippi. The distance
by this route from Nashville to New Orleans
would be CAS- miles. The distance, however,
by the Northwestern Road, by way of Hun
tingdon and Jackson, would only be 585 miles
difference in favor of the latter OF 60 miles
But, if the line were built on the route origi-
nally designed by the n. o. j. and G.. N.
Road, the distance would be but 542 miles,
IA saving over the route by the Nashville and
Northwestern of 43 miles. These facts fully
vindicate our previous publications on the
subject, and should, in our estimation, be suf
ficient to cause the carrying out of the Origi-
nal plan of railroad connection between
Nashville and the Gulf ports. Preliminary
surveys have been already made between Mt
Pleasant and Aberdeen, and show the building
of the road to be entirely practicable. We
again suggest to the citizens of Nashville
the Importance of forming new Company,
and that application be made to the next Lee
gislature for charter for this purpose.

The NEW YORK CONGRESSIONAL DELEGA-
TIoN.-The manner in which the Secretary of
State has issued the usual fall election no.
tice, settles, so far as form goes, the election
of Congressman last year. No informality
has been noticed by the Secretary on account
of the alleged erroneous endorsement OF bal
lots, which was for Member of Congress" in-
stead of Representative in Congress"-so
that Messrs. Sickles, Barr. Maclay, Cochran,
Briggs, and CLARK, members from our city,

This gentleman, in speech at Ebenezer,
North Carolina, said =
AS regards the revival of the African slave
trade, think it is most unfortunate issue
Being clearly impossible in the Union, l can
not see what good can possibly result from
its agitation. Besides, the tendency of this
agitation is to divide and distract the South
when. above all things, we need unity, har-
mony, and concert of action al the South.
But il these considerations are not conclu-
sive, | think the objections to the revival of
the African slave trade insuperable. To go
no further, we now have 10000 600 % slaves;
in twenty-five years we will have 5000. 900;
i'll fifty years we will have 10000, 900. in
seventy-fVe years we will have 81, zoo, 900.
Surely. in the face of such an increase as
this, in periods SO short to a nation, we are
under no necessity to plunge into the ocean
OF difficulties which will have to be overcome
TO add to our slave population by new im-
portations.
