BILE to Texas above all other sec

opened railroad connection with the Sister
Republic: "War is raising its horrid front
to the south of us. Mexico has, for some
time treated its neighbor, Guatemala, after
the manner of the big boy in school,
From insults in the Mexican press these
warriors Of the plume have taken to men,
acing the little Republic. The Guatemalans
respond with alacrity and are upheld in
their intrepidity by the sister Republics of
Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Mexico de-
clares its purpose Of invading Guatemala.
The Central Americans defy her to come
on, and it is very likely that we shall see
something Of the same fury that marked
the struggle betwixt Peru, Bolivia and
Chill and in the end the small Republics

United States, which Mr.. Arthur says has
been offered, may avert the threatened

an account of the capture of that city in
1861, and the surrender by General Twiggs
to the blue-coated boys. This local histori-
cal contribution to our civil war literature
is by Mr.. Charles l.. Martin, of this city,
and formerly on the editorial staff of the

graphic, easy and eloquent style that char
acterizes the writings of its author who al

We will endeavor shortly to reproduce the
article, and only refrain from making selec-
tons now, besides the closing paragraph,
lest we do injustice to an article that should
be read as a whole. Closing, he says:
Fully nine-tenths of the men who partici-
pated in the capture were afterwards Con-
federate soldiers, either as officers or pri-
Yates, and many, alas! very many of them,
gave up their lives. We knew nothing of
war and its perils and privations then,
and we yearned for the glory and the
gladness OF battle; but it was not long
before the most of us had sounded all the
depths of that glory and had drank deep of
the gladness. While we were novices M
rage so beautiful to look upon filed all or
souls with strange delight which bitter
experience soon demolished, the sternest
sort of reality swallowing up the poetry.
