nessee:
My DEAR SIR-I have your favor of
the third instant, inclosing an invitation
10 be present at the convention called at
Memphis on the nineteenth instant, re-
I8tive to the location and cor structton of
the Texas and Pacific road. Iregret that
it will not be possible for me TO be pres
ent with you on that occasion, but am
very glad to see that your call recognizes
80 fully the importance of entire hsr-
mOny and concert OF action in obtaining
such aid from the national government
as will be effective in securing the con-
structioD Of TIE line. This is especially
essential in view of the opposition which
will no doubt be made by the Tepresen.
tatives of some of the interests connected
with the present line to the Pacific, and
the point TO be bad in view all the time
is such a united effort on the part Of the
friends of our bill as will utilize our
strength, and best secure the desired re-
suit. In framing the bill to be sub
mitted tn congress this winter, /
am salts fed that it is desirable
to have connection from the Texas and
Pacific through the Little Rock and
Memphis ROAD to Memphis, and to that
end bave agreed that such an arrange
ment be made. My VIII, lie desire Is that
New Orleans, Vicksburg, Memphis, st
Louis, and all the roads from those
points shall have an open highway to
and from the Texas Pacific as great
nationa line across the continent by the
thirty-sacond parallel. By doing this,
every road in the south would secure this
important connection, as well as every
important seaport on the southern
coast, and with the facilities furnished
by the construction of the line, a great
service will be done for the public, and
especially for the governn ent itself. /
hope to be able 10 be present st the
meeting at st. Louis on the twenty
third. Yours truly,

TEzE3EsEEANu ERUPTION.

The particulars OF the grand erup-
ton of the mountain called Troiland-
vuiav. in the north of Iceland, have
been received The eruption occurred
in Decembr last, and was proceeded
by earthquakes. The weather during
the month was very foggy, aud the
flames from the burning mountain
could not be seen to advantage until
the % of January, when the sight
presented was magnificent. Columns
of fire and stones were shot straight
up into the air to a great height, and
fell back into the crater in SO narrow
a circumference that the formation of
new lava only extended II miles from
northwest to southeast. An exploring
party state that from the side of the
ravine, at a point as near as they
could get for the burning lava, they
could see down through the volcanic
fssure lurid flames like vast reeking
rivers of fire playing in wild confusion
among the "wreck of matter" For
tunately, no damage was done either
by thu earthquake or the eruption.

1T was stated the other day that the
grasshoppers bad been frozen out by
the severity of the winter, but late
dispatch from st. Joseph, Missouri,
announces that they have multiplied
and grown like magic in the past few
days, and from that point all the way
out to the Rocky Mountains we hear
of them in alarming numbers. In
some parts of Kansas they are said to
have already done great harm, and
there seems every prospect of another
''plague" like that of last year. This
is what comes of killing off the birds
from the prairies. Tens of thousands
of grouse and other game, the natural
enemy of these pests, are brought to
Eastern markets and even exported to
Europe every year, and still the Wes-
tern people wonder that they cannot
keep down the grasshoppers and
beetles.
