War on the Rio Grande.


There is war on the Mexican border.
Six hundred United States cavalrymen
have crossed the Rio Grande, marched
eighty miles into Mexican territory, de-
stroyed camp Of hostile Indians, and re-
turned to camp in safety. Nineteen In
dams wero killed, forty squaws and q
hundred horses captured, and the whole
native population fred TO war pitch.
This Is war. It comes from no sudden
outbreak or subordinate officers wrath
General Mckenzie would never have
dared cross the Rio Grande exceptin ODE
dlence to orders from q higher quarter.
When Secretary Belknap and Genera
Sheridan took their little trip TO the Tex
Us border, The Daily Graphic told its read
ers that they meant business and were
not taking their pleasure. The American
side of the Rio Grando needed watching,
but invasiOns by robbers from the
other side were 10 be only. the
pretext for war. We ioretold
not only this, but that the ultimate design
Of enforced hostilities was to add q new
State to the Union. In view Of the mil
lion men marshalled into the field In the
rebellion, and the probable union OF South
ern and Northern veterans under one flag
in case OF foreign war, Mexico can hardly
be so foolish as to revenge McKenzie'E
raid by arms. II she does so, she loses
everything; while il she seeks by treaty tc
atone for Tobberies on the Rio Grande, she
may escape with the loss Of only por-
ton Of her territory. The old cry, "OI
to the halls OF the Montezumas !" would
rally an overwhelming army In q month
1t would put oil the danger Of q financial
crash TO or beyond the close of Grants ad
ministration, and It would put feather

Dorado for railroad and mining enter

means to gain the Sandwich Islands By

The New Rebellion.

(From the New York Poskl
The rebellion has been continued on q
peace basis at the south for eight years,
but not altogether with happy results, as
the condition Of Louisiana and Arkansas
To. day bear witness. In the former State
civil war is recognized by proclamation
Of tho President, and in the other, affairs
seem 10 be Just approaching the same
point. What the remote causes have
been, during all these eight years, that
have lead 10 these results We shall not
stop to discuss, as We are not likely to be
misunderstood on that subject; but the
immediate cause ofthe condition Of things
in louisiana General Grant points out in
his proclamation when he says:
WHEREAS, Congress, at It's late ses'
SIGN, upon due consideration OF the sub
ject, tacitly recognised the said Executive
(Kellogg) and his associates then, as now,
in office, by refusing to take any action
with respect thereto"
For every white or black man killed in
Louisiana; Tor every outrage perpetrated
in that State; for murder, arson, riot and
anarchy; for the disgracelul position we
stand in before the world as nation, in
capable, for eight years after the insur-
gents had laid down their arms, Of sup
pressing o rebellion which had well-nigh
exhausted itself by four years Of open
warfare, the Congress is directly respOn-
sible. The President gave Congress am.
pie time TO consider the unhappy condi.
ton Of Louisiana; the course he had taken
was known by the whole country, and
that course, he intimated plainly enough,
he should pCrsevere in unless Congress
interviewed by some act OF It's own to pres
vent.
The subject was looked into by COM
mittee whiCh-Senators Of General
Grants own party concurring-repOrtCd
that the Kellogg government was II
usurpation, and that there ought 10 be a
new election. But Congress did nothing,
and the President choosing not to heed
tho intimation that the report Of the com.
mittee gave him, now uses the power Of
the federal government to uphold the
usurpcd government Of State. II he
meant to do right, Congress neglected 10
give him the authority; If he meant 10 do
wrong, they left him In entire freedom TO
follow the bent OF perverse inclination.
We suppose, however, now VIC shall
have settlement Of affairs in Louisiana
tho sort Of settlement that despotism
always gives. How permanent it will be,
how much 1t will tend to tranquilize the
South, subdue the rebel element, and
bring us all in accord in an indiVisible
Union Of States, il another question.

A Michigan Lumberman.

A paragraph in recent Michigan pa
per has elected from the Pantiac Ga
zette the following respecting the landed
wealth of citizen of that State: Or.
David Wards great wealth rests in his
immense amount of cork pine lands in
Michigan and Wisconsin, amounting to
over 100000 acres, every forty of which
he has been over himself, making a
careful estimate of the number and di-
mensions of the trees, and noting all
the characteristics of soil. His land
was nearly all selected from close OBJ
servation years before most people had
an idea of their ultimate value, and the
very best taken location upon streams
and facilities for running the timber to
market were carefully considered, so
that to-day he owns the finest tracts of
really available and valuable cork pine
in the United States, and the most of
it. His pine lands may be summarized
as follows On the Saginaw, 10000
acres on the Manistee and Au Sauble,
10000 acres; on the Chippewa, in Wis
CoHSlu, oO,OUU acreS. IOtal, lOO,UUU
acres. In addition he owns 10000
acres of the very best hardwood tim
bered lands for farming in the central
and northern part of the State, besides
all his valuable property in Oakland
County, and 13,OOO,0 900 feet of logs
afoat. Placing the same valuation
upon his pine lands alone, as other per-
sons are selling detached tracts in the
vicinity of his, and it aggregates the
sum of So, 800, 900, and we may here say
that that amount of greenbacks stacked
up would not obtain the deeds of his
pine property alone. The difference in
pine land is very great, as between cork
and other qualities, and acre by acre
the cork nets more than three times as
much as any other variety" In Wis
consin fully dozen lumbermen boast
that if their pine lands were laid out
into strips a mile wide they would
reach across the State, or over two hun,
dred miles IN length

Perils Of Ballooning,

The late Prof. La Mountain was a
brother of the La Mountain who with
Wise made the longest aerial voyage on
record, which was from st. Louis, Mo-,
to the eastern part of the State of New
York, La Mountain has been making
ascensions for the last eighteen years /;
was connected with the signal service
during the war has made between one
and two hundred ascensions-all except
the two last with gas for imitation.
In the fall of 1870 he came very near
losing his life at Bay City, Michigan.
Having made an altitude of nearly three
miles in dense fog, and getting COM
pletely chilled, he endeavored to de-
scend, but found to his horror that the
escape valve would not yield, having
frozen to its surroundings. Pulling
with all his strength, the rope parted
above his reach. He then concluded to
ascend the ropes from the basket to the
canvas and cut it with his knife, but on
searching his pockets he found to his
dismay that he had left it on the ground
at starting. Nothing daunted, he
climbed the icy, slippery ropes with
his freezing hands, and on reaching the
canvas tore with his teeth rents suffi-
cient to let the balloon descend. On
nearing the ground, the wind mean
while carrying him rapidly toward the
lake, he found himself over thick
forest of pines, but was powerless to
stop his descent. The basket striking
tall tree, he was hurled, bruised,
bleeding, and senseless, to the ground,
but after some hours revived sufficiently
to crawl to the nearest farm house,
where he got assistance.
His balloon at Ionia, where the fataI
accident happened short time since
was made of cotton cloth, filed with
oil ; was old and rotten from repeated
heatings, but was by him considered
safe. He made successful start but
when some six or seven hundred feet
from the earth the balloon collapsed
from rent in one side, and fell rapidly
He detached himself from the basket
when about one hundred feet from the
earth, and struck squarely on his feet
breaking the left leg in three places anG
the light in two. No other bones were
broken, and there were but few bruises
His death was caused by concussion O
the brain.
