are many deer here but do not often visit the
river and it was necessary to 60 back some 10
miles to find them. Wolves inhabit the
eanebrakes and make night hideous with
their howlings. Beavers are found bordering
the river and lagoons. Bears are unknown.
The principal game is geese and turkey which
everywhere existed in large numbers The
lagoons cover large portion Of the country
along both sides Of the Rio Grande and make
it ineonyenient for both travellers and hun
ters. Fish abound in large quantities in the
lagoons and seemed quite sportive as they
frequently threw themselves above the sur
face forming scene truly inviting to one
fond Of the sport of fishing. These lagoons
are usually overaown by the spring freshets
and their inhabitants find an outlet into the
river as they subsequently do the table of the
epieures Of Brownsville and Matamoras
During my stay made several trips across
the river in a small "dug OUT to visit some
ranches in Mexico which came near proving
fatal to your correspondent, as the boat upset
spilling us into the river. Being good water
men we succeeded in getting out with the loss
of small portion of our baggage The
weather was very warm and caused US little
Inconvenience. Having finished the object of
the expedition we again went on board the
s'E. Prinero,' on her downward trip, taking
ON board large load of lumber, and after
the usual stoppages by being stuck on sand
bars reached Brownsville few days sooner
than expected. The weather is quite blustry
at present, but we have not had even a frost
as yet. We are rejoiced not a little at the
result Of the late elections il the States, es-
peeially as Jersey has returned to the
union and toundly hope that Bedford county
may. do the same in 66.

in its report from Stafofdshire: The for.

the United States Is a very hopeful sign. Lit
is hard tor dwellers IN another land to judge
Of the prospects of such an organization,
but it has clearly many things IN its favor
The representatives from the South are
almost sure TO vote for it, and it will be
strange if the West does not Should
these anticipations prove true, we may ex-
pect very large trade with that country
It's significant that these foreigners sup
pose the South to be still opposed to free
labor, and therefore that it will stand under
the shade ofits old prejudices and vote for
their interests Wemay seethem mistaken
The South wants manufactures IN its new

very large debt to our heavy burden of

Any arrangements for mutual good on the

be met in generous spirit. Any fair plans
of foreigners TO put their capital here are
all well; but if they choose to do SO, it should
be borne in mind that thereby their inter-

PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE COM.
MON SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Senator Householder, of Bedford, on
Wednesday last, offered a resolution which
was subsequently adopted by the Senate,
authorizing the appointment of Commit
tee from each branch of the State Legisla-
ture, whose duty it shall be to report BY
bill OF otherwise, a more uniform system of
revenue for common school purposes and
such other improvements as they may deem
advisable In advocating the passage Of
the resolution, Mr.. Householder made an
able speech, which showed forcibly the great
interest he felt in this important subject
and the trouble he had taken to prepare all
the statistics which were necessary to eluci-
date his proposed changes in a system which
has always been considered one of the best
that could be adopted Believing that that
section of the Constitution which says that
the Legislature shall provide for the estab-
Iishment of schools throughout the State
''in such manner that the poor may be
taught gratis should be strictly carried
out, he desires to have bill drawn up and
passed which viii relieve many districts in
the Commonwealth from the discrimination
which is now made between the rich man
and the pool in the levy of taxes for school
purposes The Press, January y,
Those of our readers who have given atten-
ton to the discussion Of this subject in our
columns, viii appreciate the importance, as
vel as the necessity, for the above mention
ed action of our able Senator. Mr.. House
holders activity and vigilance in looking
after the interests of the whole State as
well as of his immediate constituency is
deserving Of the highest praise. Our citi-
zens fully appreciate the change inaugura-
ted by the new jury Law, to which we recently
called their attention, and for which we are
mainly indebted to Mr.. Householder. IF
his present proposed revision of our com
NOR school system meets with the success
it deserves, not only the people of this
county, but, Of the larger portion Of the
State, viii have reason to thank him, for a
reform scarcely second, in its importance,
to the original establishment of our common
school system.

CARD.
BEpFoRD, Jan. 10, 1856.

BEDFORD, Tan. 10, topo'
/ take this occasion, and method, to ten
der my cordial and grateful thanks to the
political friends IN Bedford County who 50
faithfully sustained me, under a storm of mis-
Representations, in the contest Just closed.
In Mr.. Cessna reply of the 9Th inst, to
my address Of the 4th are many unwar-
ranted statements. and personalities. which
win allow to pass unnotieed. | may have
been grayely at fault as he suggests, in not
staying at home during the war, to help him
fight the party battles in the county, and in
not addressing War meetings, aud aiding in
the trial of causes in court here, whilst | was
absent in the public service; and am willing
to be punished for such things, without max
ing any complaint. But, in his reply, he
raises a question Of yeracity, in such shape
and of such importance, feel compelled to
notice it briefly in vindicntion Of myself, and
in justification of those who so manfully stood
by me.
The substance Of my allegation was, that
in May, 1865, had an interview and under
standing with him, in Bedford, to the effect
that he was to support me for the nomination
and l was to have clear course in the eoun-
ty. In, his reply he calls this mistake
and endeavors to make it appear that he on
ly proui sed to support me If nominated. |
submit, if 1T be not evident from both the
date and object Of said interview, that the
subject matter Of it would naturally be, as it
was, support for the nomiaatioa, and not
support qffcrtemds. At that time 1 could
hare had no reason to doubt the latter
Whilst processing to reply to what occurred
at that interriesc, he says: son the contrary
| told him distinctly that that question" (of
being eandidate) would be left with my
friends, and that when they determined it
would inform him.
Now the uJairness Of this statement, to
use no harsher term, must be manifest, when
it is known that this quotation is what he told
me, not att the Bedford interview, but at ans
other interview at Washington about Jire
months qfferpards Itoccurred in this way:
After the last October election, heard ru-
NOR that Mr.. Cessna intended to be a candi.
date for governor. did not believe it; but
when he came to Washington about the latter
end Of that month, or first Of November fol-
lowing, called upon him, and told him OF
the rumor and inquired if it was true. He
then told me what ] have quoted above from
his reply and then, for the first time, did |
know Of his intention TO be candidate. At
the same time | asked him when he would let
me know his determination, and he replied
at the meeting of Congress the first Monday
in December. He came to Washington at or
about that time, but did not inform me; and
when he next came enquired of him wheth-
er or not he had concluded to be a candidate.
BE replied in the affirmative; and that was on
the 20th of December last

RETURN OF GOV. CURTIN.


Our readers viii be gratifed to learn that
his Excellency. Gov. Curtin, has returned
from Havana, whittier he had gone on ac-
count of his impaired health; and that be
has already resumed the duties of his ardu-
GUS position. The deep anxiety that has
been every where felt and expressed concern
ing Gov Curtin, is evidence of the strong
hold he possesses in the heart ofthe people
of this great State. 1t is gratifying to be
able to say that his brief visit to Cuba has
greatly benefited him, while It is to be much
regretted that the duties ofhis position com
PEELED so early return, before he could be
fully restored by the mild climate of the
West Indies.
Itisnot to be disguised that politicians
and place-seekers complain bitterly Of the
Governor because he has been unable to
elevate them all to lucrative offices; but the
people who want no place, and desire
nothing 50 much as a wise and patriotic ads
ministration of public affairs, are devotedly
attached to their Governor, and that surely
viii make amends for all the wounds that
the malice of disappointed partizans may be
able to infict. The reception that has greet
ed the Governor upon his return has been
generous and enthusiastic That he may
live long and enjoy yet higher honors from
the people Of Pennsylvania is the fervent
wish Of thousands.
