THE CRITICAL STATE OF TIIINOS ON ray.
Rio GRANDI:.-There is some danger of
military complications on the Rio Grande
that will materially shorten Mr. Seward's
diplomatic labor "in thc settlement of the
Mexican question. The liberals are still
hanging around Matamoras, which is on
thc South bank of the narrow river, oppo?
site to Brownsville on our side, where
General Weitzel has a respectable military
force. His soldiers arc disposed to sym?
pathize with tho liberals to thc extent of
crossing the river, each with a musket and
forty rounds of ball cartridge, and they
can "hardly bc restrained. Weitzel himself
evidently" believes that the Monroe doc?
trine is " something more than an empty
abstraction. Our war with Mexico, in
1S40, was accidentally brought on by Gene?
ral Taylor in stumbling upon an armed
Mexican force on a slip of disputed terri
torv. The same thing may happen again,
and Congress, as in 1840, may be suddenly
required to come to tho relief of the State
Department. Wc guess, however, that in
President Johnson's message to Congress
there will bo some valuable hints given to
Louis Napoleon and his man Maximilian.
If not before, wc shall have tho ground
broken on this Mexican problem with the
meeting of Congress.-iveto York Herald.
DIAL'S SALE.-From the following report
of prices, furnished by Col. G. F. Mosely,
the auctioneer on the occasion, it will bc
seen that some ppecies of property sold
high at the sale last week. Corn brought
from $1.25c. to $1.32?c. Flnur, from $14
to Sil.50 per barrel. Cows, of common
sto:-k, from $20 to $05 each-thc blooded
stock brought from $65 to $105 each.
Mules went from S150 to $315 each. Horses
went from $150 to $265 each; one colt, a
year old, for $175. Hogs, fattening, 7? to
to 10"r cents per pound gross; stock hogs,
from'?ii to ? cents gross. Cow ie is from
70 to 90 cents per bushel, and other things
in proportion. It must be remembered,
however, that there was twelve months
credit given, which makes a great deal of
difference at this particular timo with
almost everybody. For cash, it could not
be expected that these articles would roach
the same figures.-Louisville Herald.
BISHOP HOPKINS.-We arc happy to learn
that that great and good man, Bishop
Hopkins, ol Vermont, is now making a
tour through the Southern States for the
purpose of delivering lectures in behalf of
8U.'h charitable objects as the citizens of
the different points at which he speaks
may designate.
A lecture from Bishop Hopkins is an in?
tellectual treat that we should very much
dislike to miss; and we trust wc may be
authorized to announce, in a few days,
that he will bc here.
Bishop Hopkins is a man who is entitled
to tho respect of every Southerner. He ]
has always contended for justice and
right, regardless of section, and will be
welcomed wherever ho may go in the
Southern States.- Wilmington Dispatch.
SAD ACCIDENT.-The many friend* of
Rev. W. A. McSwain will be pained to learn
that, on last Sabbath, while going to his
church appointment, in the lower part of
this District, he had the misfortune of get?
ting his leg broken. It seems that a horse,
in a vehicle behind him, became unruly
and was about to get tangled in Mr.
McSwain's buggy, when he thought it
safest for himself to jump from his buggy,
by which both bones of his left leg were
badly broken above the ankle. This is the
second time an accident has caused him to
have a log broken.-Laurensville Herald.
Tlie National Intelligencer says it is un?
derstood that Count do Montholon, the
French Minister, has made formal demand
fer the restitution of ino tobacco recently
seized at Bichmond as tho property of the
late rebel Government, on the ground that
the property seized belonged to August
Belmont, the New York agent of tho French
Rothschilds.
Newspaper peddling in the army was a
very profitable business, judging from the
fact that one of this class who formerly
peddled papers in the Army of the Poto?
mac, is now worth $100,000, and is one of
the directors of the Second National Bank,
just started in Bichmond.
