The Sau Francisco Commercial Her
aid publishes the following:
Very important Information has
reached US from what we deem an au
tbentic source, to the effect that over
lures have been made by the Mexican
government to that OF the United
! States to cede all the territory of the
former lying north of a line OF latitude
/ drawn directly from the mouth OF the
/ Rio Grande to the Pacific ocean, and
that the matter will cngross the atteu
+ ton of Congress at its next session
with the greatest probability of It's ac
4 ceptance. What are to be the con
! sideralions for this cessiau OF territory
we are not informed, and it Is likely
/ that the point has rot yet beeu settled
One thing is positive. number Of our
heaviest capitalists and bold operators
have very recently b3en actively Ia
pursuit OF mines lying in the territory
to be eeded. Several in Lower Cali
fornia have already changed hands,
and mining engineers have been dis
patched to Sonora and Chihauhua. 1t
is evident to US that much commotion
exists about this matter in certain cir
Giles. and that there Is a good touuda
ton for the report. By this arrange
ment the United States will acquire
Neuva Leon, COahuila, Dhihuahua, So
nora, Lower California aud portions of
Sinaloa and Durango. Ii is probable
that the postpouement of final decision
by the Mexican and American joint
commissions was based upon this con~
sideration, aud it is not unlikely that
the Mexican government may have
been Influenced by the attitude taken
by the United States government in
reference to Mexican ihropds upon our
territory Mexico has need of money,
the States named are distant from the
capital, and there are no railroads or
other even moderate means OF conOec
ton They cannot be controlled by
their Federal authorities. aud are al
most in an nproar. La these and sim
liar reasons may be found the induce
ments which have actuated the Mexi
eau government.
The idea favored by many is for the
United States Government to buy these
Mexican States, and colonize the black
man thereupOn, and the best and most
just solution of the race question
These States are fertile and healthy, aud
to give 160 acres to each colored &c
tual settler would take thousands Of
them out there. Here again would
arise the question, if the poor white
men Of the country would relish be-
ing taxed 10 buy the negroes all q
home, to his own exclusion. If white
man wanted to settle out there would
he have right to do so?

a PHILosoPHER.-Afe few days since
we met upon the streets an acquaintance
whom we had not seen for several weeks.
In a moment he started off to his home
which is in the edge of the city, saying
as he left,-.I must be off. If stand
around on the street corners some of my
creditors viii sue me, but if they don t
see me, maybe they will not think about
me, or if they do will think that am ut
homo doing something, and that after
awhile I'll pay them"

Memphis Special Sept. II to Cincinn0
Commercial.


Douglass Jameson, who escaped
from the masked mob at Trenton, and
Is now in Jail here, says he was march
ed out Of town, after being taken from
Jail, and he managed to lutte his hands,
aided another to do the same, aud it
being very dark, he crossed bridge a
short distance from Trenton, when he
broke and ran, one shot being fred at
him as he ran. Jarret Burrows, who
was tied to Jameson, was shot dead
by one of 0e naskers before Jameson
ran. He noticed his guard was not
looking, and he made jump iuto the
unGerbrush, and swan over a creek.
aud thus escaped, only one shot being
fred as heaeft the crowd. Nels. Me
Ghee, who was yesterday heard from
at Hickman, Ky, jumped the other
way, aud others jumped into the creek
at the same time, and Topped around
like FISH, yelling like wild Indians.
After crossing The creek he hid in a
corn field, aud while there heard forty
or fifty shots fred, which caused him
to think of dead niggers. Only one
man was killed before he broke to run,
and that one was Dug Burrows. The
maskers told their prisoners that they
were going to Humboldt with them,
but Dug says he knew they were going
~ wrong way for that place. Some
of the maskers uncovered their faces
after leaving the Jail. aud he says he
recognized them by their voices, aud
could see their faces. Jameson says
he was one Of the party who fred on

The Granger Crisis.

EDIroR COURIER We are in the midst
of a decisive crisis; few short months
will reveal the destiny of the Patrons of
Husbaudry in this country. This may
appear strange 10 many. but it is true
we have begun trading with Eastern firms
to I considerable extent and have saved
much money thereby, but alasi some have
revealed the prices Of the articles pur-
chased. and the name of the firm from
whom they we're obtained, thereby rem
dering Themselves unfit 70 bear the name
OF a Granger. Shame upon such member
as this Such actions a. this has been the
causehOf many secret oaucuses IN our lit
tie country villages which are striving
with all their might to annihilate our be-
loved OrderA They know what we pay
and they are arranging their prices ac-
cordingly, and by this means they are
winning some of our members. Now it
is strange that men will act thus. a
merchant who lives in Fulton said, the
other day that the Order was a success
but be would sell goods, for awhile, for
less than cost, in order to gain our Gus
tom from the East, until those firms there
would lose confidence in ns, and would
cease to deal with US, then he would sell
AZ his own price. l have many reasons
10 believe, and none TO doubt, that this
sentiment pcrvades the breast of all Of
cur merchants here. Now brothers of the
Grange Mediate before you go farther,
you are now beating to the steps that will
ruin our cause and carry US again into
bondage worse than Egyptian.
Mr. Editor please pardon me for thrust
ing this in your way, but have waited
long for our mighty organ TO speak u our
behalf, but alas alas it never offers a
word 70 its espoused cause, and this being
the case II becomes the duty of soma one
TO speak for our cause.
