Gentry President of tho abovo Railroad
Compuny. Mr. Gentry hud been in Eu-
rope on tho business of tho road and has
succeeded An purchasing ten thousand tons
of iron to fny the road -through -Jo tho Sa-
bine part of which is now on tho way su
fficient to complete tho first fifty milcsi and
tho balance will como in monthly ship-
ments! tho jvholo to bo delivered by the
firstof March. Tho iron bus been bought
on favornblo tormsi part of which is paid
for with flic bonds of tho Company which
Mr. Gentry negotiated without difficulty
mid at tho timo of his leaving Europo they
woro quotcrf in tho English market at as
good rules as any American Railway bonds
at that time. This is tho largest negotia-
tion for American Railroad securities since
tho panic of 1857 and may bo considered
as oonclupivo evidence of tho high estimate
in which this enterprise Is held in tho great
money markets of tho world. This is cor-
roborative of a statement mado to us some
timo sinco that the agent of tho principal
Iron houses in Europo who visited Texas
witlfspocial reference it was understood
to its railroad facilities expressed himself
most favorably in regard to this road and
said that tho iron could readily bo procur-
ed in England.
Mr. G. also informed the Telegraph that
tho track laying was re-commonccd and
would now bo pushed forward without in-
terruption. Fivo miles arc already laid
from Beaumont to Double point on which
two locomotives and twenty cars aro busi
ly employed. Tho Louisiana division of
tho road will bo commenced early in De-
cember aud tho Engineer is already on
tho way to survey and locnto tho lino.
Our object in entering into tho abovo de-
tails is with tho viow of bringing promi-
nently beforo our citizens tho fact that
this roud is rapidly advancing towards us.
It will bo completed to Columbus within
tho next Id months; nnd thence to Gonzal-
es Soguin and San Antonio tho rond can
bo built within 18 months moro. Tho ad-
vantages that must accrue front a direct
land conveyance to Now Orleans aro so
obvious that it is unuocssary particularly
to advert to them. AVu may simply men-
tion thocertuiuty that immigration would bo
groatly increased; as immense numbers of
persons aro at present dotorrcd from com-
ing to Texas solely on account of tho ter-
rors of tho gulf ussngo.
In making thoso remarks wo by no means
wish to throw any obstacles in tho way of
tho road from hero to tho Gulf Rut it
seems clear to us that it cannot now bo
built in timo to save tho charter and in the
event of tho latter being 'reuowed much
longer timo will rlapso before this road
reaches Son Antonio then tho other will
take to arrive at tho same point. Wo arc
of tho opinion also that tho Texas nnd New
Orleans rond so far from prejudicing tho
interest of tho gulf roadwill ho decidedly
beneficial to it. Wo shall again ndvort to
tho subject shortly.

Fikc. Ahoutsixo'ciockyestordayorcn-
ing a firo broke out in a stablo near tho
back of Mr. DoguenVs houso on tho Mili-
tary Plaza. Serious apprehensions were
for somo timo entertained for the houses
of Mr. Dnguerre Mr. Sot" and others on
the same eido of tho Plaza and also for
tho Courthouse. Shortly after tho alarm
wan given tho Firo company with their
engine prnved and tho San Pedro crook
being close at hand they soon succeeded in
conquering the firo. To thir exertions
and tho assistance of somo of our citizens
(whoso names wo did not loam) on tho
roof of Mr. Daguerro's house tho safoty
of tho adjoining houses may bo attributed.
Their conduct was exceedingly praise-
worthy. Tho stablo wo understand was rented to
Mr. J. W. Dennett (2d Lieut of Mr.
Tobins compnny) and at tho timo of tho
firo hud 14 horses in it. These were re-
moved by a young bid a brother wo believe
of Mr. B who arrived at tho stablo at tho
commencement of tho firo. Wo under-
stand ho was greatly assisted by Justice
Gardner and a Mexican of whoso name
w are ignorant. Two of tho horses woro
slightly burned nnd a third so Eercrcly
that it was found necessary to shoot him
this morning. Several chickens at roost
on a tree near tho stablo wero consumed
by tho fire. It was a piteous spectacle to
see tho poor birds making furtilo ciForts to
escape and eventually falling Xuto tho
fiamos.

Uolinkss. Speaking of a couplo of
oditors not remarkably lovely in aspect
the Builalo Republic says:
As far as Brown is concerned ho is so
mortal homely that should his ugliness
frtriko in.it would annihilate him as though
ho had been hit br a bolt of lightning. As
for Jiono of the Herald lauguago is utter-
ly inadequate to express ins ugliness.
None but hmtlfcixn be his parallel. Souk
his headfor a short time in pure water if
in ii'ii uumiicfi tnu jiuui uas not occomo tuo
nitric acid of commerce as a sort of eliiir
of ugly then tho water should bo ashamed
of itself as incompetent and worthless.
Hrnwn is a brother of old Ossawntomie
Brown on his mother's side while Bono is
a blood' relation of no bono who denies be-
ing a rolativo of pro bono publico of Span-
ish extraction.
Indian News.
Ono of our ciUccns who returned on
Saturday from Uvaldo county .informed us
that immense excitement prevails there in
reference to Indian outrages and depreda-
tions. Ho stutcs that tho ranches on tho
Frio aro all deserted with tho exception of
that of Dr. label. Tho owners with their
families havo romoved to Uvaldo. Many
of thoso who moved havo boonon tho fron-
tier all their lives.
Numbers of citizens living on tho Sabi-
inal havo moved in nearer Iho settlements
and those remaining hdvo'"forted up" their
houses.
About ten days since sn mo citizens of
Quihi counted tho moccasin tracks of ton
Indians proceeding towards tho settlements
whore they aro supposed to bo now.
At tho timo tho citizens with Lieuten
ant Ilnzcn nnd his men woro in pursuit of
tho Indians who killed Sir. Davenport
they crossed a fresh and largo trail. Thoro
woro indications of a number of horses
Ijaving passod. Tho citizens of Uvaldo
when our informant left woro preparing
to raiso a company of GO mon to follow this
trail until they arrivo at an Indian village
or encampment when thoy expect to recov-
er tho horses and "wipe outM such of the
savages as may bo found there. They
contemplate that most of tho warriors may
bo absent nnd that they may thus have nu
easy victory. We trust that tho citizens may
follow out their intentions and that tho In-
dians (if any escape) may receive a lesson
not soon to bo forgotten. Tho Uvaldo
men know how to fight and a company of
sixty will bo formidable indeed.
ELECTION OV liEGISSIiATIVE
Ol'I'ICEHS
The State Gazette corrects several mis-
representations by the Intulllgonccr in this
matter. As regards tho Speaker the Hon
M. D. Iv. Taylor tho Gazctts observes that
he is a democrat and denounces the course
of the Intelligencer in tho last canvass. Mr.
Taylor (in his recent canvass" mado no isiue
on tho "slave tiado heresy" his opponent
being also opposed to it. He believes tho
law making tho slave trade piracy to be un-
constitutional but so far as opening the slave
trade is concerned he holds the position ta-
ken by tho Houston Convention. Ho con-
siders it no test of Democracy and will pro-
scribe no man for holding an opinion in favor
or against tho trade. Ho was opposed to
Paulding's course in Nicaragua and at the
last legislature ho sustained tho action of
Gen. Walker yet ho would not consider this
a test of democracy any more than the 6lavc
trade issue.
With reference to the election of Mr Chal-
mers the Chief Clerk of tho House tho Ga-
zette Fays :
Tho defeat of tho democracy in this elec-
tion was owing to having two candidates in
tho field Mr. Uchiltice and Mr. Hay. Tho
vote cast for both would have elected a dein-
ociat on the first ballot. With this cxp
lion and tho Sergeant-at-anns who was
elected over a wry worthy and highly re-
jreted democrat by one vote tho olltci'is of
the Iloufc; we believe aro democrats.

all the o Ulcers elected arc drmocrnts

" Tub Iiikkpuessium: Oonfllct." Gid
dings speech on tlio Ten Million Hill will
bear quotation now in view of tho attemp-
ted servile war at Harper's Ferry. Giddings
followers have pretended to deny that ho
ever uttcrod sentiments so atrocious as the
following but the denial is a mere hairsplit-
ting quibJdo as to tho mcanini; of language
which no one can misunderstand. Hue is
what ho paid :
I look forward to the day when thero shall
ho a servile iusunrctioM in tho South; when

tion against his master; when the torch of
the incendiary &hall light up the town and

The Outbreak at Victoria. Tamaulipat
Progress of its Civil Waf Evacuation of
ituaaamjara ay ine itcacuonisiSi eye.
By tho schooner Hod Pox Cnpt. Oli-
phaut nrrived yesterday we have advices
from Tamplco to tho 21st ult. two days
later. An extra of tho oflloial journal fur-
nishes us the full particular of tho late
outbreak at Victoria city. It was headed
by ono Mayn a Spaniard by birth i some
time since comtnittcd to prison for tho
murdor of a French nnturalld citizen.
He seems 'to have been a restless intrigu-
er; nt all events he succeeded in cor-
rupting tho guard and organizing his fel-
low prisoners somo sixty or seventy in
number into a formidablo army who not
only"posscs3cd themselves of tho building
in which thoy woro confined but of tho
persons of several of the most prominent
citizens. Tho chief of polioo only escap-
ed by chance.
' In tho meantime the people linu assem-
bled in great numbers in tho public square
where the convicts at first offered battle
but finally after fivo of their numbor had
been wounded and ono a notorious crim-
inal Thomas Haredcs by. name killed
they betook thcmselvesto flight in which
also tho ring-lcador Maya was captured.
Tho chief'ot police from whoso report wo
gather these facts says of tho origin of tho
autbrcak.
Thereis no doubta political overturn had
been planned by tho rebel?. Thoy wero
loud in their cries for the reaction viva
Mirnmon! viva Maya! &c.; bosidos their
deeds attest tho party to' which thoy be-
longed. It is to bo presumed therefore
that there was an unknown hand behind
that directed their movements and per-
haps corrupted the guard which was com-
pC do! of soldiers of Villagran and there-
fore considered faithful. I am at present
endeavoring to tivco up tho real origina-
tor of tne movement.
If this bo so tho rebels made a great
mistake as to tho political sympathies of
the people for no sooner had they learned
that Maya was captured than thoy as-
sembled en masse aud demanded his imme-
diate execution. This however the au-
thorities resisted and he was remanded to
prison to await his triul by due course of
law.
As to tho rest of the convicts they ap-
pear to have mado good their escape nnd
nt last accounts wero still roaming in nu
organized band over tho country" levying
their contributions on town and country
friend and foe alike. Troops however hud
been ordered to various poiuts for tho pro-
tection of tho inhabitants.
Tho extra from which we copy also con-
tains late intelligence from tho interior the
most important of which is that Mur(ucz
had hold a council of wai and resolved to
almndonUuadulajara. In a fortunate skir-
mish with a portion of Woll's command
Doblado had also takon '10 prisoners 180
stands of arms with u considerable quan
tity of ammunition.
"With all this; howovcr tho Liberals
mnko no advance. Their headquarters aro
still at San Louis Potosi. Besides it is
intimated in Dcgolhulo's order of tho day
announcing the evacuation of Guadalajara
that it was but a strategetical movement
not dictated by any necessity but part of
a plan for a moro efficient cnnccntrnlinn on
the western slope. On the arrivalof tho Ta-
maulipas reinforcements however nt ban
Luis I'otosi wo are promised an advance
movement on tho capital in nceordai c
with tho general plan of tho campaign.

cs a long card
over his own signature in tho Tribune in
which he icpels the insinuation of Colonel
Hugh Forbes implicating him and other re
publicans in :OId rown s" Harper's Firry

ho gave Forbes $20 when going to his Kan-
sas work and others gave him largo sums
not less than $700 thus serving to show a

Mr. McDona an Irish gentleman who

"This Countrynovor was po prosperous
in tho annals of time. Notwithstanding the
great dronghthere thcro has been an nbnn-
dant harvest and the potatoo disease has
been only partial Farmers appear happy
nnd nro well ablo to pay their rents. Our
fair city of Dublin is bursting her bounda-
ries in every direction and tho suburbs are
extending towards her mountains; while
handsome squares nro starting into existence
and magnificent first-class houses rearing
their stately forms in nil directions. There
is scarcely a bill to ho seen with the omin-
ous words "To Lot" printed in largo
letters. Our streets and flag-ways havo
boon made wider hv tho enrnovntimi thnn
those of any city in Europo or America for
i nave neon in every important city in
both nunrtersofthe crlobn. Liu- mnnntnr
establishments like Stewart's in New
York are to bo seen in various parts of tho
city aiid beautiful churches of every per-
suasion are springing up. Our poor houses
nro comparatively empty nnd thoro is a
total absenco of beggars in our streets."

It has boon a matter of universal!
complaint that a bottlo of pure unmixed French'
Brandy was vory difficult to obtain and the pur
chaser nine times in ton was docolved with a vile
manufactured imitation. Of all descriptions offcr--
deut spirits Brandy from its high price kas'beeni
tho ono article that mixers nnJ sellers have turned I
their attention to nnd millions of gallons of tho so..
called French Brandy havo been scattered annually
through thfc land and havo been tho primary cau a
or muruers suicides cruelties and crimes ahdhavw
sent thousands to an early grave self-destroye
from delirium tremens unnia-n-potu and horror '
names unknown until unprincipled men'began to
inako maddening compounds and sell ft as the purs
fcroncu Brandy.
Tho virtues of pure French Brandy need riot b
