Milwaukee News. COLUMBUS, GA., SUNDAY, MAY 9, 1875. ■ ROM MEXICO. Correspondent'* Telegraph k Messenger.] New Orleans, April 23, 1875. There is only one regular steam ship line running between Vera Cruz and New Orleans, and it became necessary to take the steamer leaving Vera Ortiz on the 10th, or await the vessel of the 7th proximo. It was unanimously decided to leave by the first steamer, and to this end wo pre pared for our departure. The time had passed pleasantly, our new made friends vied with each other in cour teous attention, enabling us to pretty well see the city and its environs, in the sliort. time allotted us. DEPARTURE FOR HOME. Every possible arrangement had been made for our comfort, and the best, practicable improvised sleeping arrangements that their limited facil ities would permit of. All our new made friends and acquaintances have gathered to bid a llnul farewell. Time, inexorable time, rolled on, and at tl o’clock tlio incoming train heral ded Its approach the farewells and add is were given—a shrill whistle and jerk, and we left Mexico, probably forever. It was a lovely moonlight night as wo whizzed around Gaudaloupe, out by the nest of Lake Tezcueo. passing the spur of a mountain which blotted from view a city of fascinating mem ories and attractions. DOOHA-DEL MONTE AND THE FAIRLEE ENGINE. Nothing occurred until coming to a long halt it. was announced we had made the run of the plains (150 miles) and were at Boeha-del-Monte, and could not proceed until daylight, for the mountain passage is never made in the dark. We have dropped the four driver wheeled engine and hitched to tin* monster Fuirlco twelve driver. For fear of getting my me chanical friends in a muddle, I will give the outlines of the Faivleo en gine. The holler is about, forty feet long, with a smoke stack at each end, and furnace in the centre. 'Flic cyl inders are attached to the truck of the driving wheels, the truck frames being pivoted or swiveled to t he boil er tho steam pipe connecting the boiler and cylinders having a ball and socket joint to meet the play of the trucks tho long heavy four cylinder engine ■ thereby enabled to readily meet tho requirements of short curves, and putting forth immense power. A HIDE BEFORE THE MONSTER. Mr. John Quinn, tho intelligent superintendent of this mountain division, being present, I asked per mission to ride down on tho engine. "Would you like a ride a little more exhilirating mid daring?” lie asked. "I will take tho best you have,” was tho answer. Being keen for an adventure, a heavy handcar was placed on tho track in front of the train—Charles I’. Muckio and myself taking the front seat- Quinn the rear, with brake in hand. The suit was now rising. Three stout Indians pushed tho car to the summit, and away we went through the gorge. Turning to the left into I the almost perpendicular side of the mountain, we found ourselves far übovo tho clouds, which were dense and in heavy billows over the whole Maitruta Valley. No pen or brush could portray the scene. It relieved our rapid, fearful ride of much of its terror, for imagi nation pictured as if thrown from tho track it would bo into a soft, pillowy bed below. Winding around, and through cliffs, over bridged chasms, through tunnels along the perpendicular side of tiie mountain at a rapid speed, on a hand car, compared with the sur roundings, frailer than a kite, is, to say the least, very exhilirating. Our descent is rapid. Wo are soon in tiie clouds and rapidly sinking. Continuing our sinuous course at Gilpin speed, we soon emerge be neath them, and there again lay spread out before us the lovely valley of Maltrata. Wo spin on, zigzaging and encircling the plain, and soon brake up at the depot.- having made the run of twelve miles down tills fearful mountain road in forty min utes. The train left on our heels, yet there is no appearance of it; but far in the clouds above you hear a harsh grating, hissing sound. It. appears slowly crawling along tho mountain side, and would frighten a world un initiated in its mysteries. Wo listen, and follow the cutting, grinding, laborious sound with eager intent, until at last away high up in the mountain’s side, wo see tiie train emerging from beneath the clouds, and the black, fiery, smoking, hiss ing head of the monster, slowly and laboriously its nnacondian body ap pears, and it requires but a little stretch of tiie imagination to conceive the mountains not “bringing forth a mouse,” but a huge living monster serpent proportioned to the magnifi cent, surroundings. It is a sight worth traversing a continent to wit ness. The great mountain barrier was passed, the excitement over and a pleasant run brought us into Vera Cruz at 3 p.m. It was quite a disap pointment to learn that tho steamer did not sail until the next day at 5 P. m. Another duy could have been passed pleasantly iu Mexico, here it was a bore. We again unfortunately put up at the Dilligence Hotel. It is a dirty unaccommodating establishment, with piratical charges. The Vera Cruzano is far superior. Wo went aboard tiie good steam ship “City of Merida” on Saturday, sailing at sr. M. Finding ourselves at Tuspan next morning, the day was spent in transferring passengers and freight. Another moderate night’s rim, and we are oil Tampico, with the English steamer anchored in tho roadstead. The same monotonous routine of transfer was hero repeated. About 3 p. M. a United States steam er came slowly in and dropped an chor near by, giving the unusual scene of three steamers off this port. Late in the afternoon we raised an chor and headed for New Orleans. Our steamer had light freight and rolled splendidly the vessel putting on an extra touch the second day. Mr. Newbold, Col. Grant and myself made an exhibition of our accom plishments by promenading with some half dozen chairs and seats, hurriedly across the deck, bringing up in no very enviable position. At least two out of the three are yet laboring under the effects of that in discretion. Early on Thursday morning we reached the Southwest Pass, and finding an insufficient depth of water, had to circle around to Pass l’Outre. A pleasant run brought the vessel to hflr wharf at 5 p. m.— and thus ends all of interest about our trip to Mexi co. C. A. N.

IV \NIII\GTO\. ARREST OF AN ABSCONDING PORT COL LECTOR J. O. HESTER THREATENS TO EXPOSE KU-KLITX FRAUDS, CREDIT MO DILI Ell, ETC. Special to the Times by 8. .V A. 1.iu0.) Washington, May B.— Conaiit, of Florida, has succeeded in arresting Henry Hazen, the absconding collec tor of the port of Jacksonville. J. G. Hester, who for some time has held tho positions of special agent of the Department of Justice, head Ku-klux hunter, and great American whito league finder, and who was dismissed from these posi tions yesterday, says ho was dis missed not because ho (lid anything wrong, but that ho informed the At torney General that he intended to publish a book entitled “Tho Wan dering .Tow in America,” which is an inside history of t lie Credit Mobilier fraud and other celebrated national fraudulent and corrupt eases. He also intends to show up the whole system of manufacturing Ku-klux outrages, white league murders, etc., and, in fact, lot daylight into the wholo Southern outrage factory, tho headquarters of which is under, if not in, tho Department of Justice. He fancies that this book will create a stir, and if he publishes all he knows in regard to these cases it will, beyond tho probability of a doubt. He says that after lie gets his book out he will remain in Washington and practice law. He don't; like the idea of returning to tho South, as the Force hill did not pass. In consequence of several discus sions hy district Judges against tho constitutionality of the Enforcement act, mid in view of the fact that these eases have been carried to the Su preme Court on appeal, and are now pending before that court, the Attor ney General has suspended further action in Ku-klux cases throughout the South, and will await tlio decision of tiie Supreme Court beforo render ing legal proceedings against those persons arrested and indicted for vio lation of the Enforcement act. As tliis action renders tho further reten tion of special agents throughout the South unnecessary, the resignation of several of this class of officers have been accepted. PANIC AMONG THE OFFICE-HOLDERS — FRAUDS IN TIIE REVENUE DEPART MENT. Washington, May 8. —There are causes for the panic among some of the principal office-holders at, Wash ington and their subordinates, which the sudden removal oj Air. Doug lass, late Commissioner of Internal Revenue, stated, thftt lie much deep er than the reasons as yet given to the public. It is an open secret that steps were taken, immediately after the passage of the law nearly doub ling tlio tax on whisky, to reor ganize the old ring on anew basis. The elements were soon compacted, and now the frauds by illicit distil ling have taken such proportions as to alarm the Secretary of the Treasu ry for the revenue. This is all tho more serious because the whiskey thus produced is known to enter largely into the regular trade. How it gets there is no longer a matter of doubt. Investigation makes it cer tain that there has been collusion and corruption between the distillers the middle men, and the internal revenue officers. While it. Is not di rectly charged that, Mr. Douglas was a party to those frauds, they certain ly began and expanded under his ad ministration. So, too, it may be said of the revenue from imports, which lias fallen off immensely through and hy means of a fraudulent combination that could not possibly prosper without the personal com plicity of a number of custom house officials. Silks, laces, wines and other valuable articles are sold openly at prices which exclude the idea of any payment of duties. The Secretary of tho Treasury is giving strict attention to the business, and very soon there will doubtless bo some startling developments. >KW OltlFlVX.

Savannah, Ga., May B.—Advices from Darien state, that twelve of tho negroes engaged in the late attempt to rescue Tunis G. Campbell, have been lodged in jail, and that there is sufficient evidence to implicate Campbell as the instigator of the trouble. Campbell appeared to have plenty of money, furnished him by our Northern bretheren and tho Mc- Intosh county negroes. It is rumor ed, in Darien, that two negro men and one woman, who was the noisest of the crowd, were killed, but like the Indians their bodies were carried off by their friends. It is to be hoped that this vicious negro (Campbell; will be put some place where he will bo unable to get his fellows in trouble. UKRtUM. THE WAR UPON TIIE CATHOLICS BIS MARCK'S LIFE IN DANGER. Berlin, May B.—Tho Fedornl Coun cil will meet shortly to consider a proposition to extend the bill for the abolition of the Monasteries so as to include tho wholo of the German em pire.
