/ f8fY, which ma keS IL SO mHch the more anomalous
! In these days where All taxation is considered op-
| pressiye. All present, therefore, w have q city
government which will compare favorably with
any III the Omitted States for i is totally uncon-
nected III every particular with any thought d pri-
vate speculation. and Al ts energies are devoted
70 the immediate improvement Of the town. The
Mayor, ta0, alr. George Dye, II just the man tn
carry ont the reforms which the Council may sug-
gest and lid does q with energy that Is untirng
He auperyises everything. and Il as likely 70 hc
mst II midnight il The suspected parts Of the town
as Id midday at his Office In fact, think We
have model Mayor, and . model Council, not to
speak of i model set of taxpayers.
The weather il at present excessively Disagree
able, and the country il suffering for want of rain
On The 2Ist, asd and 23d, the sun was OF q white
heat and almost scorehed rs with its rays. It hung
ii the heavens like great globe in the midst of
eonaagration. aud the atmosphere almost glowed
with the fsrvency Of the alIpervading heat. II
ever thcrc was time when felt like shedding my
lash and taking the-air in my bones It the
I'D, and have seen some warm weather in Cali
fprnia. IT was 90 intensely hot that grass wlhered
in d day, ard fresh milk tliickened before ten
O'Clock III the day.
Capt. John S. Ford Is again in town. aceompa-
shle FOR me, without guess work, to assign any
reason for the rsappearanoe Of this gallant ranger
III tllis place; but. as IL Ii well known that the
Captain has many friends among the flibusters,
and as ii Ii thought tIat nier The present rafln
something dangerous il maturing, why, probably,
Mexico claims his earnest consideration at present,
and 8 II probably here to look after her welfare.
The X G. G. Association appointed one Of the fall
ID t time of fheiI movement and II tlley
were Id earnest, ii Is his high time that they Ind
thor coiamissaries nthc advance looking out good
I rpads, water and grass Many well organized
expeditions have failed for the want Of provident
eomrnissiariats aud hence, It may be the X. q. G.
4 community 4 aprVHllg on it's predecessors. By
sending 4 competent purveyor ahead % report on
the atcles aid camp grounds that are to be found
on tEc line Of march. Capt. John s. Ford can call
together probably as large crowd of solicitous
4 friends TO take care OF Mexican interests as any
other man. And tilat he has done so once, and
y thar be expressed i Willingness To do 50 again
il quits lately, lends some color 70 my guess work,
although confess from tho outset that utterly
ignorant u what his purposes arc ii his sudden
and nue xpeeted visit to Brownsville.
The city having succeeded in an ejectment suit
III certain sauatter soyereigns who have loca
ted on The ieyce, preparations are nov being made
t0 enforce the Mfits of custer, which, If successful
q viii be another feather il favor Of the town. Al
present the steamboat leTec Is crowded into very
d confined space by q number of shantes erected
thereon, which are to be torn down and removed
IL the process Of the court can be carried into ex
ecntion. This will open q large levee in front d
the river, and add materially to the looks Of the
town frontage. s
