From Mexico-The Siege of Vera
Cruz.

New York, May 1.-THE steamer Vir-
ginia, from Vera Cruz on the 4th instant,
has arrived. She brings $4,000 in specie.
The siege still continued, and there was
but little activity on either side. The city
is well fortified. The Liberals have but
few guns, and the besieged hope that the
yellow fever season now coming will cause
the Liberals to raise the siege. 1t is re,
ported that the Liberals have o strong
war steamer at Tampico, which will soon
arrive and blockade the port Of Vera Cruz
Sisal was taken by the Liberals on April
l6, and is still in their possession. The
Virginia consequently brought back the
cargo which she took out for Sisal. The
news from the interior Of Mexico is meagcr
and unreliable.

A Town UNDER TIE SNow.-A California paper
give rather hard-tobelieve story Of the depth OF
the snow on the Sierra Nevada mountains in Feb
ruary and March by describing the visit of mer-
chant named Adams from the valley to the mining
town of Meadow Lake, on the top of The mountains:
''He procured a pair OF snow shoes and took the
tracks of some who had ne over the dav before.
After some hours of hard travel he arrived where
the town should be, but not house was visible.
While he was looking around, a man sud-
denly came up out Of the snow like a mer-
maid out Of the sea. Adams asked him if he
could tell him where Meadow Lake was, not
knowing as yet whether the object before thiul
was man or spirit. Why said the fellow,
you are right on the plaza Adams asked if he
could show him where the store of Adams & JUhn-
son was. oh, yes come along few shoves
on pair of snow shoes soon brough. thom to a
round hole in the snow, and Adams was told that
that was the hole which led to the store. There
we're stairs made in the snow like spiral way,
twisting several times around tho hole in making
the descent. Finally he arrived at the bottom, and
was astonished to find lis friends there happy and
gay, and ready to vouch for the country being one
| Of the richest ever discovered. From the store
| they travelled over the town through tunnels.
Every one 8 emed to be contented With his lot.
The citizens seldom go to tho COP of the snow, ex.
cept when there is a snow-shoe race, at which
| time the whole town turns out.

RECoNsTRUCTloN IN TEXAS.

FLAKES Bulletin, published in Galveston, Texas,
is Southern progressive, but pot Radical sheet,
In its issue for May IA it discourses as follows in
an article on "The Freedmen and the Registry: :"
1t docs us good to find that Texas journals are
returning to reason and good sense and although
there may be occasional marks OF the craze In what
they say, still the lucid intervals are 30 much
stronger and clearor than they have been, that we
are greatly delighted. The Galveston News of

which it seems squite clear that there are loyal
planters to throw the weight Of their influence
with the moderate Republicans. 1t also admits
that loyal men who command Congressional

enough, says he "does not counsel that Union men
should not be elected to the Convention" We
beg to remind him that all others must be excluded
from the Constitutional Convention. So rapidly
are the Texas papers coming to the moderate
platform occupied by Flake's Bulletin, that there
will soon be none left to oppose. or the two radi-
cal papers, one is already defunct. The Conserva-
tive pers are fast changing We quote from the

It means simply that there are men in the South
who have shown that, although they are in very
small minority, they are anxious to become the

conflict Of races-to secure their ends: We sin
cerely believe that all such men should be beaten;
and Notwithstanding the fact that they profess to
be acting in concert with the Republican party Of

confd: noe either Of the North or OF the South;
Men of this kind will endeavor to get control ol
the Convention and unless Ill the white people
who are not DISTINGUISHED prepare themselves To
vote, and the negroes are at least divided they
may succeed. Such q re ult will certainly cause
every man who omitted registering to regret ii
deeply, when it is too late to rsmsdy the evil
We are not saying that it will not be good policy
for ps to elect representatives to Congress from
the class which commands Congressional sympa'
thy, nor that Union men should be excluded from
the Convention. What we do say is, that the con-
servatives Of the Sta,e, who are in the majority
should be able to make their own selection, AM
not suffer nall minority to force obnoxious mer

cannot be in posit Jon to exercise this important
