WE publish elsewhere a statement of
the Texas cattle trade, which will as
tonish our readers. While other States
have been making quite fuss over their
various sources Of wealth, Texas has
been quietly attending to her business,
and growing rich ard prosperous in con-
sequence. Her cattle trade alone is a
source Of splendid revenue TO the State,
and that that trade is enormous appears
from the fact that there will be driven
from Texas into the State of Kansas
alone, between now and the first Of next
December, five hundred thousand head
Of cattle, worth, at present prices,
seven million five hundred thou
sand dollars. Here is an item
OF consideration for emigration societies
which should not be lost. It should
also he stimulant to our people to seek
as soon as possible railway connection
with a State supplying an item Of such
prime necessity as cheap fat beef. Good
beef in the Memphis market is worth
from fifteen to twenty cents per pound,
according to quality OF cut, while the
average price Of Texas fat oxen in
Kansas city is given at fifteen dollars.
Supposing one OF those beeves to weigh
only six hundred pounds net on the
Memphis stalls, and we have a margin
of eighty-seven dollars on each carcass
sold at an average price Of seventeen
cents per pound in favor Of our Memphis
butchers! This is a splendid profit on a
prime necessity of life. We want rail
connection with Texas and few dozen
OF thousands Of her fat beeves annually

THE announcement elsewhere Of the
death OF Colonel Eugene Magevney will
be read with regret by all classes Of our
citizens. His has been a familiar form
and fscs on our streets. Almost every
day for over thirty years he was to be
met with, dignified and reserved, but
with heart full of good impulses and
inteat on duty. Mr.. Magevney was for
many years the only member Of the
Catholic communion in Memphis, and
was most active in the foundation and
construction Of st. Peters church, the
haudsomest and largest christian
edifice IN the State. To him his
church owes much. He was devoted to
her interests, as he was to all the inter-
ests Of the city ne had seen grow up as if
by magic, in less than a generation, He
lived TO see four Catholic churches and six
schools built and established on a secure
basis, and to all he contributed liberally
of money and advice. He had served
the city, too, in many honorable capaci-
ties, and was noted for his sterling in
tegrity as for his answering faith. His
example was a good one, and he
descends TO the grave full of years,
having the testimony Of a good con-
science, and the certainty of a holy
hope. Mr. Magevney filled his place in
the world well, and will be missed by
more than the sorrOwing friends and
relatives who will gather about his
bier to-day. Peace be with him ard
rest

WE are rejoiced to hear that among
the possibilities and probabilities is the
revival and reopening Of both the De
Soto and the First national banks. The
officers Of the former are bending every
energy in that direction. and those of
the latter havesucceeded in securing the
Endorsement Of stockholders and depos-
itors to its solvency and subscriptions in
notes to the amount of two hundred
thousand dollars, which will be negotla-
ted in New York, and that amount in
currency added to the available assets of
the bank in order to prompt resumption
OF business. A committee with the
cashier, w. w. Thacher, will leave to-
day for New York, where these notes will
no doubt be cashed, and within the
time allowed by the national banking
law the First national will be on its legs
again and better able than ever to satis-
~ the wants of a community whose
best wishes for success will follow its
officers TO the great money center. With
it and the DeSoto in full blast again,
we should feel as If we had not been
altogether given over to ill-luck, and
that there was still left some life in our
city. If the depositors and stock
holders Of the DeSoto will stand up to
its officers as did those of the First
national to that institution, our hopes
will be realized.

THE CARLIST WAR.
BOmbardment Of Alicante by the Insur-
geAt Men-9f-War-The British
Admiral saintlins AbsO-
lutte Neutrality.

MADRID, September 27.-General E.
Ceballas and Minister Mosonovive ar
rived at Alicante Friday, and were en-
Enthusiastically received by the people.
The efforts Of the foreign cOnsuls to pre-
vent the bOmhardmeut of the city by
the insurgent men-of-war failed. Ad-
miral YelvertOn declined to go heyond
his instructions from London, which
were to maintain an absolutely neutral
position. All the merchant shipping
has left the port. The British fleet was
moOred in the harbor on the right, the
French on the left aud the eleven other
foreign men-Of-war, including the Ger
mans, occupied the center. Inside Of
these lines the rebel iTOn-clads Numan-
cia and Mendezenuez took up their
lositiOns and made preparations to
lombard the place. The German
commander at the last moment
offered to stop hostilities, but the En-
glish and French commanders refused
to join him in the act The lombard
ment was opened at five o'clock this
Saturday morning, and five hundred
prOjectiles, some of which were filed
with petroleum, were thrown into the
city. Great damage was done, and seve-
was returned from the forts and bate
Ties on shore with effect, for at the end of
seven hours the rebel iron-clads slipped
their cables and Withdrew in damaged
condition. Minister MOsonovive tele-
graphed at noon to-day that the bonn
bardment had ended, aud declared that
ii was a wantOn outrage, which should
be held up to the reprobation OF Europe.
The men-of-war Victoria and Alamanza,
recently released by the British. will be
dispatched to the relief of Alicante.
Further particulars Of the lombard
ment of Alicante show that the insur-
gents directed their fire chiefly at the
castle which Overhangs the town at an
altitude of four hundred feet, in the hope
that by the fall of its walls part of the
city might be destroyed. A shell struck
a public building in which the national
and city authorities were assembled.
\ considerable amount of damage was
done to the city walls in several places.
The rebel vessels at one time came close
to shore, but they were driven off by a
rapid and well-diTected fire from the
ietty. The Meradez Minez lost her
funnel. Minister Maisonave visited the
most assailed points during the action
and encouraged the men at the guns.

Report OF Commissioner Cree-Immense

DENVER, Col, September 2S.-Thom-
as X. Cree, secretary Of the board of
Indian commissioners, arrived here to-
day. He brings with him a copy Of the
Brunst-Ute treaty, signed by the In
dians, and is accompanied bysix Indian
chiefs. Mr.. Cree spent a week explor-
ing the Brunst purchases. They visited
the San Juan mining region and report
it immensely rich in gold, silver, copper.
lead, iron and coal. Five hundred valu-
able leads have been located, and one
mine, the only one fully tested, is YIELD
ing, with poor machinery, one thousand
dollars in gold per day. This mine (the
Little Giant was sold without a legal
tile to a Chicago company for five
hundred thousand dollars, and since
the treaty it is worth a million. 1t is
expected, with the improved machinery
now en- route, that it will yield twenty
five thousand dollars in gold per week.
A mine with better indications, on the
same lead, is being negotiated for at
four hundred aud fifty thousand dollars.
The ore from this lead yields from two
to five thousand dollars per ton. There
Is also an undevelOped gold lead which
Yields eight thousand dollars per ton.
The country is equally rich in silver, one
lead being very rich, with vein six feet
thick, and another yields pay in a vein
Of forty feet thickness. There are also

which are taken up, while iron aud coal

Immensely rich, and with capital to de
velop its resources, it is good for hum
dred million dollars in precious metals.
Mr.. Cree and party spent seven DAYS in

OF the Uncompaigne andESan Juan
mountains, crossing at attitudes Of
twelve TO thirteen thousand feet in
the open air, riding through rain and
snow, over steep trails, and through
fallen timber, swamps and rocks. They
.epOrt the country the grandest in the
world for mountain scenery. AT one
point they saw hundreds of peaks four
teen to sixteen thousand feet high. The
mining region is surrounded by as good
a chain Of mountains as are in the coun-
try. The country acquired contains four
millions Of the most valuable mineral
land. The proceedings were in the
shape of an article of agreement, and
does not come under the head of treaty,
