The LIFE OF GEORGE STEPHENSON AND OF
HIS Son, ROBERT STEPHENSON, comprising
also a History of the Invention and
Introduction Of the Railroad Locomo-
tive. By Samuel Smiles, New York !:
Harper q Brothers.
The above is revised edition of the
work with the same title which appeared
ten years ago. In the present volume at
tention has been paid to modern railways,
there having been added $4,000 miles of
rail in Europe alone ...l
The object of the author seems to have
been, however, chiefly to compile and pre-
serve record Of some of the events and Incl
dents which attended Mr. Stephenson's early
efforts in introducing steam as a motive
power for land carriages. The railway
system of the world is traced from its
infancy up to the giant proportions it as
sumes at the present day. During the
earlier years Mr.. Supplements name is in
timately connected With an enterprise
which has now outgrown the fame of the
inventor. His perseverance under difficult
ties and final success are set forth by the
author with considerable elaboration.

FROM THE SOUTH OF Us.-A proposition
has been made to the Mexican Congress by
Juarez for SO revising the laws concerning
the expectation Of metals, as to encourage
capitalists settling in the country. Ortega
has gone into business at zacatecas, A
depntation Of Cubans and Spaniards waited
upon the Captain General Of Cuba on Sat-
urday, and asked him to put in force the
orders, which they understood had been
received from the home Government, grant
ing the privilege of holding public meet
ings. He replied that no such orders had
been received, but that whenever they
were received from the authorities of Spain
he would comply with them. A rising is
reported at Santiago de Cuba. The Span
iards on the island, as a general thing, ex-
press themselves as well pleased with the
turn affairs have taken in the mother eoun-
try. The insurrection ia Porto Rico has
been suppressed, and the leaders have fed
to the mountains. There is apparently no
let up to the confusion and anarchy in
Hayti. Four Presidents are reported to
be in the field, while their followers are
assailing one another right and left.

CUR COMMERCIAL FUTURE.

Secretary Seward recently went down to
New York city to attend meeting of CAPT
talists and scientific men who were to dis
cuss the practicability of cutting ship
canal across the Isthmus of Darien. 1t is
said that the project is on a fair way of
success.
In view of the amicable relations so rap
idly growing up between our country and
the great Asiatic empires, there will soon
be developed new trade. Our products,
instead of going to Europe alone, will be
shipped to Asia by this line Of eommunica-
ton, and our Eastern imports received by
way of the Pacific.
This is a subject Of deep importance to
New Orleans. So much of this trade as
the Mississippi valley takes part in must
be through our city. We thus become the
depot for commerce between twenty mil
lions of our own people and the countless
populations of the mother continent of the
world.
And thus another great promise is Of
fered to the people of this favored spot
The natural market for the products of
cotton and sugar of our own rich soils, we
are at the same time in position to COM
mand the grain trade of the West with the
ports of Europe and South America.
By the co instruction of the contemplated
canal fir the river to Lake Borgne, we
will have the lumber trade of the Gulf
coast. And, now greatest of all, if we
look Ear enough head, we are to be made
the depot for commerce with the East
Indies and China and Japan.
If the men of Louisiana would only say,
let us have peace, and mean it, bright
day would dawn to them-a day when the
commercial centres of the country, instead
of stunning our far-famed Crescent City,
would press forward and vie with each
other in their efforts to make her what she
is destined by her position to be, the second
city in the land.

A Washington special to the Cincinnati
Chronicle, dated the twenty-third, contains
this information from Texas:
The following extract from a letter lust
received from one Of the officers highest in
rank in Texas gives an idea of the new
rebellion in that State. He saws: "The
northeastern part of the State especially
seems to be in deplorable condition. Nv
adjutanti under date of September 81
writes that rather alarming news has been
received at his post within the last week,
to the effect that in Cook, Tanning, Gray
son, Tanant, Parker and other counties
in their vicinity, the rebels are rais-
ing regiments, pretending that it is
by the authority of General Reynolds
and other commanders, ostensibly to pro.
tect themselves against the Indians, but
really to drive out all the United States
troops and Union men in the northern part
of the State. 1t is also reported that a
man named Seaman is raising two hundred
and fifty men for the same purpose, at Mon
tagueand in that vicinity. The Colonel COM
handing has forbidden the organizing of
any in this section by issuing a proclama-
ton. Among the men named as leaders in
this movement is Ex-Governor Thockmor-
ton. One of the Captains of the Sixth,
and his wife, were fired at by bushwhack-
ers at Sulphur Springs, while sitting on the
plaza of their boarding-hou but both
escaped unhurt. So much for quiet, peace
and harmony in Northern Texas"

TO RFPUBLTCANS,

The reign of terror which has been IN
augurated, and which continues almost
throughout this State, will make an election
on the third of November practically
farce.
Multitudes Of colored citizens have been
murdered because they were Republicans.
Thousands have had their registration pa
pers torn from them because they designed
voting the Republican ticket.
Numbers of white men have been killed
or driven from their homes for the same
reasons.
We are certain that if every possible
effort should be made it would be an i'm
possibility to poll one half of the real Re-
publican vote in the State. If the effort
should be made with iirmness and deter
mination many polling places would simply
become scenes of massacre.
With these convictions we have this ad-
vice to offer Republicans throughout the
State.
Wherever you can vote without reason
BILE apprehension of being subjected to per
sonal violence, do so.
Vote our electoral ticket and for your
candidate for Congress. Avoid opportuni-
ty for those quarrels, and those discussions
which surely ripen into quarrels, which
must. as affairs stand now, result in large
loss of lite.
In brief, if you can, without peril of life,
exercise your right to the elective fran
chise, do so if you can not, remain at
home.
Rem mber that your opponents have
allowed their "vaulting ambition to DER
leap itsell,r and by their ruffanly violence,
which was to have secured Just the amount |
of intimidation to yield them victory, strewn
the path to the polls with too many man
gled corpses to make it the Travelled road of
a freely expressed opinion.
There are tribunals of appeal beyond
he mobs of Louisiana, and to them we
,an go, with full confidence, for redress Of
grievance.
The great principle Of this great national
to be firmly established by an
overwhelming voice, which needs not
feeble Louisiana to aid the en-
phasis of its thunder tones, is that
the governments of these reconstructed
States, as established by the people through
heir Congress, shall be sustained by the
people, through and by the authority Of
a newly-chosen Congress and a true Elk.
ecutive.
So, Republicans of Louisiana, let your |
ways on the third of November be those
of peace. Where you can vote, vote, and
rust redress to the future.

for the arrest Of Mr.. Thomas Ong, of St.
Bernard, charged with completely in the

Mr.. Ong has been known to us for many
years, and we feel no hesitation in declar-

crimes charged.
We trust full and searching investiga-
ton may be made inshe case, and such In
vestigation will doubtless free Mr.. Ong
from the slightest stigma.

THEY CRY OUT PEACE,

The Democracy see their mistake. The
fruit Of incendiarism and violence, sweet
to the taste, has become bitter in their
bellies. The carnival of blood which has
so many days prevailed has produced all
the effect designed, aud very much more.
1t is an unhappy confession for us, but
let us blazon the truth, that large por-
ton OF the Republican party of this State
has yielded its courage, and confessed by
act and word its intimidation before the
gun, the revolver and the knife.
The polls of the third of November will
see but the shattered and saddened rem
nants of the joyous columns which marched
thereto in April last. '....
And now the columns of the press TEEN
with illuminated resolutions Of organiza-
tions and clubs, inviting all, black and
white, to go to the polls, unmolested and
unannoyed
Their gushing kindness even offers pro
lection to ALL This particularly in our
city.
We are not informed as to the latest
manilestoes of charity in Caddo, Bossier
and St. Landry, but we suppose that there
all is quiet. The chivalry of that region
have made desert, and call it peace.
We hope the election may be quiet and
a peaceful one. We believe it will be so,
and chiefly for the simple reason that it
requires two parties to make quarrel.
The Republicans should vote wherever
they may do so, but they should allow no
pretext to draw them into violence which
can only result in signal injury to them
selves.

The Crescent, in speaking of the Mayors
order to Mr.. Adams to resume his duties
as Chief, seeks to defend Mr.. Conway.
The idea is this, says the Crescent : "Mr.
Adams is the legal Chief of Police, never
having been displaced by an authority hay
ing legal jurisdiction over him."
Thomas E Adams was removed by Gen.
eral Sheridan, under operation of the
reconstruction laws. But we are now told
that there was no authority. The Con-
gressional measures are thus secuted.
We now see how silly the claims of these
people that they favored the reconstruction
acts prove to be.

THE DEMOCRATIC SWORD.

The following is an extract from cir.
eular issued by the Democratic Central
Committee of Louisiana:
Circular.
And we would earnestly declare to our
SAIlow-citizens our opinion that even the
laost implacable and ill-disposed of the
negro population, those who show the
worst spirit toward the white people, are
not half SO much deserving our aversion
and non-intercourse with them as the de-
based whites who encourage and aid them,
and who become through their votes the
ofice-holding opprcssers of the people.
Whatever of resentment you have should
be felt toward the latter and not against
the colored men. But in no case should
you permit this resentment to go farther
than to withdraw from them all coun-
tenance, association and patronage, and to
thwart every effort they may make to main
tain business and social foothOld among
you. THOS. L. MACON,
President State Central Committee;

sroP THAT coTT0N.

The planters on the Mississippi river are
very largely shipping their crops to New
York by way of St. Louis. Cotton is re-
ceived at any point on the river, shipped to
St. Louis, there. transferred to car and goes
through without change to New York.
The cost of this entire transportation is
one dollar and forty-seyen cents per hun
bred pounds.
The great moving cause which just now
induces such shipments is the feeling Of in.
security as to the safety Of the cotton while
being stored or nAking its transit to this
point s
We believe that after the election such
feeling may be and will be easily dis
sipated.
Commerce win not dow hitherward until
we welcome it with smiles.

ST BERNARD.

We reiterate a statement made by us a
few days since, that at the burning of the
house of Filieu, in St. Bernard, no one was
killed but the baker himself. A son was
wounded.
In the ashes of the building were dis
covered, we are informed, the charred re-
mains of two persons. one of which was
supposed to be that of the baker, and the
other that of a negro whom he probably
killed in the melee, as he is said to have
fred some shots before falling.
This burning and killing is sufficiently
horrible without the exageration of muir
dered women and children.

The Bee of yesterday, in speaking of the
police difficulty, used the following Ian
guage:
1t must be settled in accordance with the
wishes of the people if we are to have
peace. The Metropolitan Board must yield,
unless they wish to defy the people and
provoke them to forcible resistance to
their administration.
In other words, if the Democratic lead
ers, who control the press OF New Orleans
and dictate the opinions of few thousand
men, are not permitted to ride rough-shod
over the authorities of the State, then we
will rise in arms and effect by force what
we are now seeking to do by intimidation.
Well, 1t is fair declaration of war at all
events, and we are glad to know what the
Democracy mean.
Be cautious lest you arouse a power ex-
traneous from the State Government or the
present military force sustaining 1t.
