Canr TOTEM, near the Little
Piney, No., april 9th, 1868.

We are within about ten miles OF Rol-
la, having come BY the southern route
from Springfield to Rolla. The southern
road is a pleasanter one to travel over
than the one by which we went to
Springfield last fall. There is the same
unvarying variety Of hills and hollow''
Of rocky bluffs and fertile glcns, OF noun
tains sparsely covered with oaks, and r's-
or bottoms heavily wooded with gigantic
sycamorcs. There arc fewer towus on
the southern road, but the camping pla
ces are nearer together, the water is more
abundant. the soil better adapted TO
farmin. purposes. The soil'of the val
lies is rich, sandy loam, and the hills
are not SO completely covered VITA those
multi-cornercd pebbles which were the
pest of the other route, and In fact, OF
every other road which we have Travelled
over in Missouri and Arkansas.
Tho bottoms of the Gasconadc, near
which river we we're las. encamped, are
said to comprise some Of the very best
farming lands in the State. The inhah'-
tsnts are said to be rich, and mostly
thorough going rclels. Tho Gasconade

Having its rise some few miles south Of

A .
on the night of the 7th-Sth; and as the
American Counsul in Matamoras ex-
pected to be attacked our forces we're
lheld in readiness to defend him. But
nothing came. of it.
1t is fact that the French naval
officers on the Matamoras station we're
for come time in expectation Of a
pronunciamento which should place
the French party i'm power in Tamau-
lipas, and it is now clear that all the
arrangements of the French on the
coast wore made with this ia view
The French blockade covers the whole
coast to point within nine miles of
the Rio Grande. Had the people Of
Tamaulipas pronounced" in favor of
the French, as it was intended they
should, with the help of the rebels un-
der General Bee, all the objects of the
French, and Of the rebels too, would
have been accomplished, without leav-
ing our Government room to complain
of unfrieudly action. The opportune
arrival of General Banks spoiled a
most ingenious and to US dangerous
!! plot. E&E8
tbs pE5ptE OF TEXAS.
The prospect in Texas for our cause
is good. Gen. Banks needs and ought
to have more troops, perhaps ten or
twelve thousand men, in order to en-
able him to act in the State. The
people in Brownsville, as we'll as on the
Mexican side of the river, are friendly
to us; have no doubt that Mexican
troops could be raised, if it were ad-
visable; to serve under the American
flag. The greater part of the people
in and about Brownsville are of Mex
ican origin; the common people and
the wealthy men, are favorable to the
re-establishment of the Union govern
ment, under which they always enjoy
ed peace, protection and liberty,
They are, however, much cowed by
the rebel Tyranny, and have such an
idea of the strength and determination
of the rebels that they will not take
political action unless they are made
sure Of protection. The display of a
considerable force here is necessary to
produce confidence in our power and
to restore the former condition of
things, and this force must remain for
a time. With proper management
there is prospect that all Texas can
be brought,back under the Union flag,
and that with little delay. Now that
q part of the people are relieved from
a tyranny which had grown hateful to
them, and that also the tampering of
the French with the rebels has been
interrupted and their plots broken up
the prospect here is promising.
