NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 80, 1874.
DEAR Sri


! have little or nothing to send you in the shape
news from this quarter. My advices from Mexico
are very full in regard to the movements of Santa
Anna upon Texas. Notwithstanding the unwil-


ngness of Congress to enter into all his views he
still persists in pushing forward and concentrating
his forces ON the borders Of Texes. The cut
throat Ampudia has been appointed commander-in-
chief Of the invading army. His character is too
well known tor me 10 waste words upon, and he
will probable meet with hisdeserts in Texas That
Santa Anna Is determined on invading Texas with
a well appointed army, is a settled policy with him,
and rest assured the descent will be sudden and
overwhelming. The Mexican troops now assem-
bling at various points, are to be well found and
drilled, previous to their crossing the Rio Grande.
Fifteen hundred cavalry are already well mounted
and equipped, and present fine appearance. There
will be thirty pieces OF artillery TO accompany the
infantry. Santa Anna is bent upon availlng him
self OF the present excitement now existing in
Mexico against the United States and Texas, TO
push on his troops TO conquest.


The lnstalment due the United States will not
be paid tor the present. Our city is perfectly quiet.
and but very few ships arriving. The new coec-
tor has considerably lowered his Irish airs, end
arstocratic notions, and is somewhat approa enable
The appointments OF John Tyler in this quarter OF
foreigners to office, is reflection upon the nstitu
tons OF our country. In no part Of the United
States are there TO be fonnd so many foreigners
holding office in this city. The custom house is
full The last appointment Of his accidental ex.
cellency to the receiver Of public moneys, was a
German. The Collector Of this port with real Irish
assurance, notwithstanding his oath Of Office, con
tinues to transact business as a merchant, and per
form the duties Of consul TO his holiness the Pope
for the Roman States. This you are aware is In
direct violation OF the Constitution Of the United
States, which says, No person holding any Office
OF profit or trust, shall accept OF any present.
n OfIce nj an w han from
any king prince, or foreign State" This clause OF
the constitution is founded in just Jealousy Of for
elgn influence OF any sort And we will now see
how long that great stick)er for the constitution
John Tyler, will suffer one Of Vlctorla's subjects
openly and contemporary to violate it.


/ am sorry to inform you that the yellow fever
has made It's appearance in city land daily
the increase. II will therefore be unsafe for any
OF our friends to return here till November. The
crops Of cotton and sugar coninus to promise
abundant, and Of the former article we are daily
receiving large quantities. Something is said about
the army worm making great devastations on the
cotton, but believe me 1t is done for effect. The
cotton crop will be fully as large as last year.
Louisiana is going to give Clay 1900 majority.
Yours, truly, s. A.
