He had an opportunity Of ag iting Pes

show any record Of his taking advantage

emperor came within proper distance,
this youthful Fritz saluted him with in
tense gravity, and stood TO attention as
rigidly % II he had petrifed. The emper-
or called him familliarly by name, and
asked an sffsctionate question. His reply
WAS another elaborate military salute, and

City of Mexico, Dec. 8, via
Havana, Dee. 1.-The revolution
continues to spread. The States of
Oaxaca, Nueva Leon and Sonora
are in the power OF the reyolu-
tionistS, and pronunciamientos pre-
vail i'll San Louis, Vera Cruz and
Puebla.
New York, Dec. 1S.-The latest
advices from Mexico represent that
Juarez maintains a fearless attitude,
and speaks confidently of crushing
the rebellion. The Cabinet remains
unchanged. The people complain
that opposition is directed more
against the Cabinet than against
JuareZ.
The revolution in the western
States is extending. Extraordinary
powers have been given the Jaurist
Governors of States.
Business throughout the Republic
is paralyzed. The question OF
United States pro]tectorate of an.
neXation is boldly discussed as the
oply solution.
No important engagement is re.
ported in the Central or Western
States.
The Worlds special from the City
of Mexico says: The revolution
will probably prove a failure. Only
two States have risen, and there is
no popular excitement. The coun.
try is only disturbed by robbers.

THE MISUNDERSTANDING from
the tone of the New Orleans papers,
the building of the New Orleans,
Mobile and Texas railroad, and the
branch from Vermillionville, through
Opelousas, to Shreveport, is assured
almost beyond a doubt. Chas. Nor
gan, who has heretofore so persist
emily opposed the building Of these
roads, has now compromised with
the company, and added his strength
to it. In proof of this the Morgan
steamers plying between New Or
leans and. Mobile, in opposition to
the railroad, have been withdrawn.
and freights and passage by the rail
road, have been raised in price. All
that Morgan now requires is that
the city of New Orleans confirm the
grant made by the Legislature to the
railroad, of land within it's corporate
limits for depot purposes. 1t is
thought the city authorities will act
favorably.

Parish Taxes

A resident of this parish, who has
recently returned from the Parish of
Natchitoches, where he is interested
in real estate, says that we are more
fortunate here in regard to taxation
than the property holders there. The
State tax is uniform on the assessed
value of the property, and is there
fore the same i'll all the parishes,
being about one dollar and forty-hye
cents on each one hundred dollars
worth of property, or nearly one and
a half per cent. This gentleman
says the combined State and parish
taxes, in Natchiteches, is about sew
en- per cent; while in this parish,
both taxes amount to only about half
that much. We are informed that
the taxes in the city Of New Orleans
and the parish of Orleans amount to
about six and a half per cent. Ac-
cording to these statements, our pa
IRISH is much more fortunate, in re
gard to taxation, than some of the
others. In this parish, we have a
large territory, and a scattered pop
ulation, and many having nc visible
property do not pay taxes at all,
which makes the minority Of the citi-
zens bear all the parochial expenses.
flour vacant and idle lands were set
tied up by a thrifty class of people
whowould accumulate property, tax
alton would be more equally divided,
and. much lighter on individuals.
We have too many bridges to build
now for people who contribute moth
ing in the way of taxes, and too
many criminals who own nothing
but gun, pistol and creole pony, to
support at the cost of Industrious,
honest, taxpaying citizens. When
we improve in these respects, tax
alton will cease to be heavy burden
