The convention will doubtless achieve as much as such conventions usually do, namely, a fuller consideration the public of the subject* it discusses and act* upon. The state of our trade with Mexico will be especially considered at New Or leans, and the building of an interna tional road will be demanded, although Minister Foster, in a recent letter, throws cold water on the whole business. He leclares that the present means of com munication are very imperfect, and are not likely to be improved. Steamship lines cannot be extended without a sub sidy, and there is no prospect that a rail road from the City of Mexico to the Rio Grande border will be constructed. The .sentiment* of the Mexican people are opposed to railroad communication with the United .States. Mexicans see in such project the prospect of ultimate annexa tion to the United States.

Savannah News: In the city of Baltimore there are held over four hundred thousand dollars of the bonds of the city of Savan nah. the holders of which, we are pleased to say, have shown a willing disposition tQ ac cept promptly the compromise offered by the city in pavment of this outstanding in debtedness. it w*ill be remembered that last summer Mr. D. G. Furse, chairman of the finance committee, visited Baltimore, arid it a large meeting of the bondholders i; that eitv addressed them at length on th subject of the coropromisfe, explamlhg fully the condition of the city, and the desire of the administration and the people to offer as Tair terms as pos sible. This lucid Bxposjtjo?) of our finan cial affairs had a marked effect, the bond holders being intelligent, experienced busi ness men. A dumber then and there ex pressed their willingness to accept the compromise. Since then, through the in telligent efforts of Messrs. Wilson, Colston A Co., a prominent and influential banking firm of that city, many others have been induced to give ready acceptance to the proposition, and it is now, we are glad to say, understood that all of them will do likewise. On Saturday Mayor Wheaton re ceived a letter from Messrs. Wilson, Cols ton A Cq si jjnploiiing a large number of bonds to be cancelled, etc. From the let ter we are permitted to make tbe tollowjsg extract: ???Every one of the'bond-owneri Macon. 11,458 *hiey:u:::.....:...:....:...; 5,12?
