WHERE BEEF Is CHEAP-A Texas letter.
writer says: Any man in this State who
does not own four hundred head of cattle and
seventy or hundred horses and mules is worse
than worthless. Beef sells here at FIVE cents
per pound, horses aud mules from fifteen TO
thirty dollars for round lots, and are within two
hundred and fifty miles of good market. As
far as the eye can reach in every direction, and

stock. The whole market of the United States

Jefferson Davis TO be PardOned.

w Washington correspondence n. \ News.
1t is with feelings of the most profound
satisfaction that am able to inform the
readers of the News that President John
son has determined to pardon jeff. Davis.
and it may be, even without trial. altho'
that point is not settled vet. Nor is it at
all unlikely that in short time Mr. Davis
will be released from confine nent on the
same terms that Mr.. Stephens has been,
and then afterwards pardoncd. 1t is pos
sible, but very unlikel now, that he may
be brought to trial in a civil court for
treason But if SO, and even if convicted,
he will be pardoned. This Is certain as
the DEGREES Of fate. | DO not derive this
INFORMATION from what the President said
yesterday to the South Carolina Delega-
tion, although the fact can safely be I'M
piled from those remarks On that occa-
sion the President was directly applied to
for the pardon of Jeffersm Davis by a
committee appointed for that purpose by
the State Convention Of South Carolina;
and on that point here is what Mr., John,
son said:
"All cannot be pardoned at once. The
business must be proceeded with gradual
ly, and an effort must be made to execute
the law. | want to do what is best and
just, and TO show proper degree of hu-

II treason has been committed. there ought

made upon the life of the nation. there
ought to be vindication Of the govern

pardoning power were exercised thereaf,

y correspondent makes suggestion
which, if needed, would prevent the con-
fusion and needless delay which too often
attends getting on and off the cars at sta
tons. 1t is simply that the passengers
leaving the cars at every station on tho
road except at the termination OF the train,
make their exit at the rear end-thc most
distant from the engiue-anl that
the passengers taking the train enter at
the foi ward end Of the cars. As now
practiced some are attempting to get out
while others are blocking up the passage
in their efforts to get in; and often passen,
gers find it difficult where trains stop but
a moment, with numbers in waiting, to
get off aud on with safety. Should the
above hint be adopted the confusion
on the platform viii al be avoided Nor
would this &c the on y practical benefit Of

looking for friends on a train, would all
ways know at which end of the car to seek
for them, and if It were understood in
which car they would ride, whether in the

to find them with little delay; and in q

would prove of great advantage I-Phila
