ANOTHER SHIP CHANNEL.-The
Corpus Christians are about to steal
all the thunder used in eXcavating
ship channels FOR Texas. They
have formed an alliance with John
Bull, not only to dig the ship chan
mel. but to run the entire business
ofthat region, including a smart
slice of Mexico. The Advertiser
says the following information is de-
rived from a gentleman in Calves
ton, who obtains it by letter from
London.
A wealthy company in London
England, has purchased the char
ters granted by the last legislature
to parties in this city for the new
ship Channel via Aransas Pass, and
the Railroad to the Rio Grande.-
The contract was signed on the 2lst,
of March last, and when the proper
conveyances and transfers have
been executed, the company will at
once proceed in their work. In ad-
dition, they will introduce mcr-
chandise from Manchester for the
Mexican Market, cmigrants TO cul-
tivate the grape, castoroil bean and
sea island cotton, and to manufac-
ture salt-and houses will be erect
ed on alternate lots of the property
they may acquire. A bank under
the U. s., system will be establish
ed. The contract and sale has been
effected by our ftrmcr fellow citizen,

Another Letter from Gen. Long
street on the Situation.
From the New Orleans Times.


New ORLEANS, April 6, 1867.
To the Editor of the N. O. Times.
Since your publication of my let
ter many questions have reached
me as to the prospects of our politi
cal future and our duties at this cri
sis. My former letter was intended
to meet all questions, and was as
much in detail as q mere soldier
should venture, in a field entirely
new to him. / have no inclination,
however, to avoid duties or respon-
sibilties, whatever may be the form
in which they are presented.
But to attempt at this time a gen
eral discussion of the merits and de-
merits of all matter that is thought
to be material to the subject which
absorbs our interest, would require
more time and labor than are at my
disposal. Besides, such discussion
would leave us just where our ar
mics surrendered. / must ask,
therefore, that those who are inclin-
ed to consider my views, will eX-
cuse the "bluntncss of a soldier"
The surrender of the Confederate
armies in 1865 involved /:
/. The surrender of the claim to
the right of secession.
2. The surrender of the former
political relations of the negro.
3. The surrender of the Southern
Confederacy.
These issues expired upon the
fields last occupied by the Confed-
crate armies. There they should
have been buried. The soldier pre-
fers to have the sod that receives
him when he falls, cover his re-
mains. The political questions of
the war shonld have been buried
upon the fields that marked their
end. Our most cherished objects of
this earth, blood of our blood, life of
our life, ifnot duly deposited as or
dained by an All-wise Providence,
becomes offensive. So it must be
with this dead matter. If the iast
funeral rites of the Southern Con-
federacy have not been performed,
let us, with due solemnity, proceed
to the discharge of that painful du
ty. and let us deposit in the same
grave the agony of our grief, that
we may the better prepare ourselves
for a return to the duties of this
life.
1t may be well 10 remark that
our efforts at reconstruction will be
vain unless we embark in the enter
prises with the sincerity of purpose
which will command success
Great deeds are not accomplished
by the cold support of Indifferent
approval, they must be built of
{" sterner stuff" We must apply
ourselves with diligence and with
united resolution if. we hope TO lift
the darkness that threatens our fu
ture. and secure a comfortable issue
from the difficulties that surround
US.
The Fabian policy seems to be
the one most in favor amongst MS,
famiIiarly termed the system of
a. mastery inactivity" This poll
ey has achieved a great notoriety
! from the fact that a distinguished
Roman General-Fabius Maximus
at the head of a well organized
and well disciplined army, by his
superior strategy and tactics delay
ed the progress Of the march ofthe

OF COURSE NoT.-Some days ago
a merchant of this city made a bar
gain with a country lady for two
Chickens. Yesterday the lady
brought them to his store, and he
being busy, she placed them on the
end of the counter. Our young
friend didn't think that the proper
place for them but didn't like to say
so plainly, so he remarked. as the
chickens werestrying jump abo1t,
They won't lay there, will they
meaning that they would likely
jump off the counter. His astonIsh-
ment may be imagined when The
lady replied, "Of course they wont ;
they're roosters !" Next time he
will probably speak correctly, and
not say Iay when he should say tie.

For the Dallas Herald,
We had Just rs well Laugh rs TO Cry.
This life is a queer Onc-and ehcckcrcd at


This life is n queer onc-and checkcred at
best,
We are born, and we sicken and die
Without our procurement, without our con-
sent,
And we just as well laugh as to cry.
There is much in this world 10 sigh over and
fret
which we easily find, when we try,
But It's better, by far to seek the bright
... side
For, we just as well laugh as to cry.
Hope inflated, the bubbles that fancy creates
Maieslically soar in youths sky,
Delighted, we grasp them, they burst at the
touch
And, we just as well laugh as to cry.
The friends VIC most trusted, may treachcr-
Gus prove,
And all their professions belle,
But tears have no power to make the falsc
true,
So, we just as well laugh as to cry.
The heart sad and lonely, will sympathy
seek,
At the shrine of some fair one may sigh,
But, if she prove tickle, unfeeling perverse,
Well; we justas we'll laugh as tocry.
The great wheel of destiny, as it revOlves,
May pleasantly bear us on high,
Pcrchance it may crush us, down, deep in
the mud,
Still, just as well laugh as to cry.
Accept your condition, whatever it be
Not long, in the gutter you'll lie,
If you cling to the wheel and remember my
FRIEND
That you just as well laugh as TO cry.

DEATH o. A FAMOUS FEMALE
BRIGAYD.-The Italia of Naples an
nounces the death of the famous
sbrigandess, La Gizzi, who was
for some time the terror Of tho
Volturara district. La Gizzi was Il
tall. muscular woman, with beetling
brows. covered with a thick mass of
black shaggy hair that fell over her
shoulders and breast, and was so
blo5dthirsty that she voluntarily
performed the Office of executioner
on every captive doomed to death
by her band i is stated that on
one occasion, after stabbing three OF
her captives, she collected the blood
that flowed from their wounds in a
lar. and then poured it over the head
Of her lover, telling him that 10
should be his baptism of blood
Being sharply pursued by the
troops. her consort took refuge in
the cottage of peasant of Pctrosa,
and compelled him, with frightful
threats. to give them food. Tho
peasant laid some provisions before
them; but while they were busied
With their meal, he seized an axe
and attacked them with such fury
tha. he struck both La Gizzi and
her companion to the ground before
they could defend themselves. He
then r n to the neighboring village
Of Ricigliano, collected The natioual
guard Of the district, and return
ed with them to his cottage. Here
they found two dead. bodies, and
after decapitating them, carried the
heads of La Gizzi and her lover, to
gsthsr with their conqueror, in tri-
unph through The district.

BEAUTY OF IRISH WoMEN.-Mons.
Felix Belly, one of the writers of the
Constitutional, having made tour
through Ireland last Summer, pro-
nounces the following eulogy upon
the women of the country:
"The most remarkable clement
tho richest and certainly the most
full of life, of this land so life full, is
the population itself No European
race, that of the Caucasian excepted,
can compete with it in beauty. The
Irish blood is Of n purity and dis.
tinction, especially among the fc-
males, which strikes all strangers
with astonishment. Transparent
whitcncss of the skin, the absorb,
ing attraction, which, in France, is
but the attribute of but one woman
in a thousand, is here the general,
and the young ladies love to shorten
their dresses in front. Well, well,
after the Exhibition we shall see n
heterogeneous admiXture offashions
Chignons and waterfalls have gone
by the board long since.
