Gives Ojr Readers a Description o! What He Has Seen. Editors Courier: If yon will allow me a little space, I will try to say a few things about Mexico. The first city of importance after leaving Laredo, Texas, iuto Mexico on the Mexican National Railroad is Monterey. It is called the Ameri can city of Mexico. It is 153 miles from the border, and has a popula tion of 45,000, of whom 1,500 are Americans. There the Gulf & Mon terey R. R. crosses the Mexican Na tional R. R., and have their shops there; The labor they employ is mostly foreign. Monterey is sur rounded on three sides by mountains east, south and west. Governor Reys, of the State of Nevere Leon, of which Monterey is the capital, is the most enterprising Governor in the whole Republic. He offers inducements to American cap italists, and it is there you will find the only American manufacturing. The plazas (or parks) are a great attraction to all the cities in Mexico. In Monterey there are numbers ot them, of which the Zaragozo is the principal one. The military bands j furnish music nearly every night in the week on those plazas. It is there you will see all the beautiful young ladies and the gallant young men as sembled, to promenade, but not to gether, oh, no ; the girls by them selves, in twos aud threes, walking one way; the gents, arm in arm going in the opposite direction. Quite different from our customs' The young "gentlemen are not al lowed to visit the young ladies unless the parents or some elderly relative is present all the time. The only way he can talk to his sweetheart alone is through the iron bars, he on the outside of the house and she or. the inside. All the houses have gratings over the windows like our jails. Some people may not believe this, but it is the truth. When there is a theatre a young man buy tickets for his sweetheart, but at the same time must buy for her dear mama and papa. Also he must send a carriage for them. He meets them at the door, takes them m, ana sits beside his aulcino aunng the acts and between the acts Casrain 7 (- different from our gents) he does not go out to get a breath of fresh air, (for we know he wants- nothing but air) but nuts on his hat and rises with his back to tha stage, so he can gaze at his beloved dulcino, and also at the people behind him. After the performance is over, he takes the idol of his heart to the carriage, bids her good night, and walks home alone. Delightful. know all the vouna men will aarce with me. There is one thine: the father of a dozen girls has the advantage over Ameri can fathers, and that is when a girl is to be married, her intended fur nishes the trousseau. She never takes any of her clothes with her from father's house, but what her husband gives her. A friend told me that she attended several weddings while in San Louis Potisi. One that she spoke of prin cipally was the marriage of a Gen eral's daughter to au American. He - G being a Protestant, they couia not oe married in the church, so they were married at the father's house. As e bouses are built with court yards, . , rooms on f our sid es of the court yard, so was this one built. Ihis court yard was covered with an awn- ing or wnite canvas, wnicu gae. every ihiug a soft mello light (as it i i -, i I. was at 10 a. m.) The pillars that supported the gallery was twined with natural orange blossoms, and each guest was presented with a spray of the fragrance as he or she entered the court yard. They were married first by the Justice of Peace, (for no marriage is legal unless by the Justice of the Peace first) thvn af terwarda by the priest. During the first cer emony the couple were seated on a sofa, but arose for the la3t. All the time they were under the two flags, American and Mexican. A band of music was softly playing all the time during the ceremony, first American airs and then Mexican. Mexico is said to have 100 fast days in the year. In the State of Ran Tinnia Potosi- the natives not thinking that enough, have a grand siesta on the Governor's birthday, the 4th of November. One thing that struck me as being horrible while in Mexico, was the baptising of animals and fowls. I could hardly believe it until I went to see it. There is one day set aside for this purpose, and the last Wed neartavin Januarv is the day. The streets are thronged on that day with neonle going to church with their . ;a nn flip nnt peio. 7 i-" ,r . . etirrs of the city. The pnest oomes out on what they call the balcony of a two-story house,, and with holy water, sprinkles all below. T here are horses, cows, sheep, goats, dogs, hogs, cats, rats and birds of all kinde. It doesn't matter what kind of a per they have, they take it ou that day to be baptised. : - .i- ' In most parts of Mexico ladies are not expected to enter a store, but send their servants for 'samples of gocds and they select from the samples. When the tirst Americans went down there, they were considered bold and devoid of modesty, for the natives said that no lady will go in a store where there are only men, but it did not take the American ladies long to convince them otherwise. Servant hire is very cheap, and yoa, will find q ui te of ten fi ve or six servants. When a lady marries in Mexico she never loses her maiden name. For in stance : If Miss Mary Brown mar ries Mr. Jones, her name will be Senora Mary Brown de Jones. ' One great drawback to Mexico is the horrible tax on everything except land. The consequences are the land is owned in large tracts by a few individnals, and the- pay no tax on the land, and have the poor classes to work for a mere pittance, while they (the owners) live iu lordly style, just as the wealthy nobles of Europe do. But tax is levied, on everything else. All the cities have a custom house arid collect duties on things that come in from other States, and even the surrounding country. If a poor farmer comes to town with a basket of eggs or a coop of chickens, he has to pay the duties (or tax) be fore he is allowed to sell them. If a house is unoccupied it pays no tax, but wlieu occupied it pays according to the rent the owner receives. I could wiite a great d -al more about Mexico, but time forbids. Last, but by no means least, I must speak of the religion. Mexico is known as the Catholic. -Republic. Catholicism reigns supreme. Now, kind readers, for fear of wor rying you, I will not write more this time. The Courier's friend. Jas. J. Street. Miuera, Texas. THE BATTLE OF DREWRY'S BLUFF. Some Reminiscences of. the Fight, as Told by Our Countyman, Mr. Wm. D. Cothran. Editors Courier: I have seen one or two articles in vour columns from Col. VanHook and one from John S. Coleman. The Col. is right when he says that old soldiers ought to write and say something about the late war, so that the growing genera tion can know what has passed. This being so, I will try to explain the bat-, tie of Drewry's Bluff, fought May 16, 1863. To start with, I was a member of Co. A., 24th N. C. Troops, and was 3rd Sergeant after Gus Huggins fell at Plymouth, N. C. I acted as Ser geant Major the balance of the war. Gen. Mat Ransom was our Brigadier. Hansom's Brigade was in North Caro lina when old Gen. "Spoon" Butler landed his forces in Virginia, just be tween the James and Appomattox rivers, at what is known as Bermuda Hundreds. When the boys fired, or ders had come for Gen. Eansom to ' take his command back .fto Peters burg. You could hear thfe boys say: "Carry us back; we want to meet old Ben Butler, and pay him for all the meanness he has done iu Louisiana." Soon we went Finally we reached Petersburg. - As we passed through the city the old and the young would ask, "W hat command is that ! " The bovs would say, "Old Mai Ransom's Foot Cavalry." Then the bid citizens would say, "Boys, save our town ; wipe old "Spoon" out from here. Finally we reached .. Pocahontas Bridge. Halt ! What's jthe matter in front ? Old Gen. '.'Spdon" Butler has possession of the plank road from here to Richmond, r Gen Ransom being a careful man, moved his brig ade around Butler's left flank, and placed it between Butler's army and Richmond, in a line with earth works running from Drewry' Bluff to south James river, ' In the meantime Gen isutler nacl gotten one une ot our earth works and, f qli possession of the plank road. We were ordered back and forth in our line, as our force was quite weak when compared to Butler's. - Finally we were ordered to take a stand on our extreme righti in breastworks. Here we remained tor awniie. we relt good, as we never been placed behind earthworks before to fight. Our business up to that time had been to charge and take breastworks from the Yankees, We could see tne xansees in our front You could hear the boys say, "They are fixing to charge us.; le 'Spooney come ; well give him the devil and full pay for all the mean ness he has done in Louisiana.'! To our snrpriso Tye saw troops in "our Highest of all in leavening Power. mm o&oiiAttr&ra poire iear; At once Capt. Pegram, then on Gen. Ransom's staff, was ordered. to take a skirmish line and see what troops were in our rear. 1 was on extreme right, near a swamp. We had not' advanced far before the troops commenced, firing on us. (Yankees they -were.) In our Tear CapfcJ Pegram was on horseback. Finally Pegram commenced to reel and totter, mortally wounded, .and died f his wounds. A braver man nevelived. Where is there an old soldifr that knew Capt. Pegram, that does not love the name of Pfgram ? Fromfthis place we were ordered back near the plank rtrad, near a spring. At this spring I saw Jefferson Dayis and this was the only time I ever saw him. . There we were in one line of our erth works, and the Yankees in the other line of our wcrks. On the morning of the 16th of May, 1863, at daybijeak, we moved our works, skir mish pine in front I was on the left of ths line. I could not see plain enough to recognize a man ten steps off. pn we pushed, with skirmish line, to bring on the attack. Finally, near skirt of woods, I heard in my front! "Halt ! Who comes there ? " ThenI stood looking, but could i-ot see uhe enemy. lhen came Che enemy. lhen came the words; "Surrender, or I kill you." Just at that time one of our men said to m: "Sergeant, can't you see? There; they are in a rifle pit." I thouglbt the man that called my at tention was Robert riurst, ot U. 15., 24th T. C., but I have never known for certain. We opened fire on the two in the rifle pit, and went for ward.! As I passed the rifle pit I saw two ankees ; one was dying, and the other shot in the thigh, so he said, j On we went until we reached a piece of woods just in our front, and there we remained until the mainline came up. Just then I was .I.. 1 rr T T Vtln- U1UC!CU uj JL'xy' " - jpoos.w iuv ivn. ...j r nooosfn tha otf- anri ooo it nnv rrnnna were;, moving m line witn us. w nen I reached-the plank road I found the 21stTenne8see Regiment on our left I turned, running my best to get in my lace in line, when the order was i . -a . 1 TIT II given to charge.

Justice Walter Clark Condenses the Official Re ports of Government Telegraph in England As taxes upon fhe diffusion of in telligence among men and deficiencies ! in the; postal service affect - everyone, condense the- following from the Latest U. S. Gov't Report TrX - IT official report on the workings of the government telegraph in England, made to our government by the United States consul at Southamp ton, Eng., and printed in the last number of the "Consular Reports. He says: "On January 29, all the telegraphs hf the -United Kingdom were acquir ed by the government from the cor porations which had previously oper ated them and thenceforward be came an integral part of the post office. The English people owed this great measure in their interest, like so many others, to Mr. Glad stone who bore down all opposition from the companies who were mak ing big profits." Till then the districts paying best had ample service, though at high rates, (as is still the case with us) while whole sections off the lines of railway were destitute of telegraphic facilities. The government at once extended the telegraph to all sections and reduced the rate to one cent a word. The following is the result: In 1870 under- private ownershipj seven millions individual messages and twenty-two millions words of pres3 dispatches were annually sent. Now that th tpWranh Ja 0riwJ by the Postoffice the annual number of individual messages sent is 70 millions (ten times as many) and over 600 million words" of press dis patches (thirty times as many) are use(j. This at a elance demonstrates tne overwhelming benefit to the public of the change and their appre- ciation of it, The press rates have been reduced so low that every- weekly country paper can afford to print the latest telegraphic dispatches as it goes to press and a telegraph or telephone is T ... don the telegraph ha8 super- aij CVCl V UVUUtJV l)UO LUIime.

Finra could not ,be " more" eloauent as to the vast benefit this confers upon the great mass of the .people who bear the bulk of the burdens of any gov ernment and receives so few of its henehts. v With the telegraphs and telephones operated by our Postoffice. at moderate rates, say, 5, or even 10 cents per message, a similar change would take place here. Individuals and news messages - would increase 10 to 3Q: fold, as elsewhereand probably more and., the monoply now held speculators would cease.. 7 The average telegraph rates now charged in this country" avteraere. bv the reports to Congress, 31 cents per message three times the average rate in all other countries under Postoffice Telegraph seryice-and, ex perts say that our-government could probably afford, with the vast in crease of business, a uniform rate of five cents as the average cost of a message is about three cents. According to English exoe-ience the transfer of the telegraph to the Postoffice Department would result (1) in a uniform rate of ten cents for ten words between all points or possibly less; (2) an increase in indi vidual messages of at least ten for every one now sent; (3) an increase in press dispatches of 20 worJs or more for every one now sent; (4) a popularization of the telegraph for all uses, social or business; (5) an in crease m.the promptness of delivery, me average mere Demg y to a min utes as against 2 or 3 hours formerly; (6) no section would be destitute, but at one of the 70.000 postoffices there "would be a telephone or a tele-1 graph. By adopting the telephone at most postoffices, instead of the telegraph the increase in the number of post offices employes would be inconsider able. The vast influence of the great telegraph monoply can be used for political purposes by coloring news and in more direct ways.When the telegraph service is made a part of the Postoffice and placed under civil rules and subject to the direct orce or public opinion, the experi ence in other countries has been that it exerts no more power on partv politics than the army or judiciary. Originally the telegraph (in 1816) belonged to the Postoffice, When it was abandoned to private corporations h account of its supposed expense. enry Clay, Ckve Johnson and r"Y , V 7r1CD loresjgut to lorecen tne miscnier. r nnn in nknAM;n, rr.n 4- 1 .
