CIVIL WAR IN MEXICO CONTINUES
GENERAL GARCiAs ORDER FOR ROBBERY
Extraordinary Decrease of Population

The New York T5rlbuneshas the following
interesting Mexican news, dated Vera Cruz,
April l.
Civil war. with it's accompanying terr0rs
of OutrageS against personal liberty, rob-
berries and assassinatioDs still RACES. Said 3
gentleman resident IN Vera Cruz to the wri.
ter hereof, about two years ago: Il have
lived in Nj xco twenty-tour years, and dur
ing that time there have occurred twenty
seven reVolutions.D One might be led to
think that the simultaneous uprisings in
Nuevo Leon, Coahuila, Zacatecas, Durango,
Jalisco, San Luis PotOsi and Michoacan
were the result Of come well combined pia q
to rid the people Of the yoke Of Jnarez.
Such, however, would be q ridiculous
eyaggeration, for the chief object Of
tue bands in arms in the above mentioned
places is plunder. No better proof of
this assertion is needed thania translation of
article two of proclamation issued by Gar.
cia de la Cadena, who styles himself Gen
ersl slin-chiet OF the army defending the con.
stitution, by virtue of the pTonunciamentos
OF San Luis Potosi and Zacatecas." The
article reads thus: 'All who corporate, d.
rectly or indirectly, 10 aiding the Juarez
government will be judged i'll accordance
with laws that may be or may have been
dictated by JuareZ against the promoters OF
the aforesaid proDuDCiamentOs, and VIII
have their effects contiscated, one-third
thereof to be applied to the expenses of the
war, One-third rs pensions to the families OF
those who may die in defense OF the consti.
tuition, and the remaining One-third to be
divided among the survivors," A natural
result Of programmes OF this character IS
that the existing government finds itself
strong enough to pu. down all so-calied
attempts at revolution, though phuniE like,
insurgents seem to rise from the ashes OF
each defeat.
A matter of vital importance to Mexico is
now calling the attention of q few intelli-
gen: persons, and reasons are looked after
to account for the rapid and continuous
decrease of the population. To Illustrate
.le ratio of births, deaths and marriages,
have taken al random the official statement
OF four cantons in the State OF Vera Cruz,
where the following proportion is estab
lished, which is iair sample of those in
other parts of Mexico: Canton Huatasco,
during September, l869-Nineteen births,
three marriages, thirty,tour deaths; Canton
de los Tuxtlas, during ep:ember-Flfteen
births, fifteen marriages, and forty four
deaths; Canton Representatives. births,
five marriages, twenty deaths. AS .her
proof that this decrease of the population is
general all over the Republic, | cite the
published statistics Of the City of Mexico
during February. the figures being: Births.
leo; marriages, 2G, and deaths, 545-leaving
3S6 against the population.

Law and Order.

The Homer Itiad, BIackburn's paper,
says:
If the very liberal and generous policy
which Governor WarmOth seems determiD ed
upon trying towards the opposition in this
State, does not at once bring about condi-
tion Of law, and order, and good feeling.
we think he should at once and in good
earnest "try Whas virtue there is in stones"
We are and have ever been in favor of the
most compromising and humane policy
toward political adyersaries-and particu.
lariy have We been in favor OF such policy in
the South since the war; but enough OF q
good thing is enough, and when kindness
fails entirely Of ali becoming reciprOcatiOn,
then some other remedy should be resorted
to. We have no doubt but Governor
Warmoth views the matter in this light.
We must have peace, and law and order by
and through some means. This rioting,
mobocracy and bloodshed must cease. But,
as we have stated in another article, we do
not think that the hanging Of poor negro
would be a good beginnings in this way. We
are opposed to hanging any one, under any
circumstances. But if this numbering and
sassipation for opinions sake be not
otherwise speedily stopped, force should be
met with force. Evi-doers should be bat
tied into quietude and civilty, and Grim
inals should be arrested, tried, and if con-
viCted should be sent to the Penitentiary for
term commensurate with their crimes;
and thus be compelled to behave themselves,
and contribute inside of prison walls some
thing for the support of decent society, if
they will not as treemen do go outside, of
their own sense of right and honor.
Such are our views of propriety III the
premises. If We are wroEg we will stand
corrected.

The Tines has the following mention of

The Tines has the following mention of
the Pascagoula and Lake Borgne Canals:
The canal at the mouth of Pascagoula
river, opened by General Brown and DR..
Noyes, and now owned by the latter, has,
we are glad to learn, proved to be not only
a remunerative investment, but also of great
value to the lumber and other interests of
the Pascagoula region. The canal furn-
ishes eight feet of water at ordinary high
tide, ana has, thus far, been kept open by
the strong current. Since the completion
of the canal large lumber trade has
sprung up between Pascagoula and Texas,
and the West Indian ports. Several vessels
have also loaded for New York and Boston,
Pascagoula, from the enormous extent of
pine forests on the river of that name and
its tributaries, must soon become the great
lumber port of the South. The completion
of the Lake Borgne canal will also doubt
less make New Orleans great lumber
depot, both for foreign shipment and the
Mississippi valley. When empty grain and
produce barges can reload with lumber at
the Pascagonls mills, for St. Louis and Gin
Cinnati, it is evident that an important trade
will result. The Pascagoula canal cost
about $45, 900, and was dug without State or
local aid. 1t was the first undertaking of
the kind completed in the Gulf States since
the war; and the Lake Borgne canal, now
in rapid process OF excavation, will doubt
less be the second.

4 CEIVALRIC MISSISsIPPIAN
DISARNING 4 COWARDLY RUFFIiN

The jackson Pilot reports the following:
few days ago. while Colonel B. B.
Emory, collector OF interna. revenue for the
Third District, was leaving his Office, in
CCrinth, Mississippi, q rutfian, who pretends
to practice Law. met him in the building,
armedwith the traditional double barrelled
shot gun, and revolver hung around
him. Never having had any difficulty
with him, the Colonel had no idea his atten-
ton was directed toward him. When but
a few feet from him, however, fine gentle
man raised the gun in range of his person.
Quick as lightning Colonel Emory sprang
upon the coward, Gisarmed him Of gun and
pistol (Which he attempted to draw when he
lost his gun). He then turned 10 q friend of
the conquered brave" and advised him to
take him away. or he would of necessity
deprive the community of so valuable q citl-
zen. Our latest information is to the effect
that the hero imbibed some additional cour-
age and WAS hunting the Colonel to ''shoot
him on sight" Colonel Emory is as brave
as he is quick in action and slow to anger,
and should they meet we fear there will be
mourning for an estineable citizen.
