HOUSTON, APRIL 19, 1865.
^ .. . SB
Every mall brings us a reoommeodetion
of tome MV man for Governor. Sewoely
* oonaty taibH tome eminent citizen, or
t command but baa some distinguished aol-
dier to Wfgw* aa combining all the abili-
ttaa tot the plaoe, and aa the very man for
tut thus. Baally, this is becoming a
grievance. The way things seem to be
g«ing, no respectable bat modest gentle-
man or soldier is entirely secure against the
chftnoss of being brought before the people
for Governor- -a position of all others to in-
spire fotfdlotrast of the vsfniote qualifica-
tions; We are reminded of the state of
tflUbrs fat the time of George II, when Pul-
tttytgr Jading difficulty, owing to the state
of parties, to form a Cabinet, it was said
"thatit was not safe to walk the streets, for
fenr of being Impnssed for a osbinet min-
ister." Mo pretensions now fte so humble
that they do not incur risk of being canraas-
sfl for a place that should seem to be wholly
beyond the ambition of their possessors.
Sferiooaljr, however, we are glad to see
this anxiety of our entire people to think
ft* themselves, and speak their voice on this
subject.. It shows an appreolation of the
Crisis in' oar public aflbira, demanding the
best own as officers for oar civil administra-
tion. No ons can divide how momentoua
to tba presont and all the future interests
of Tsxas may be the dutiea of our next
Governor and Legislature. Out of the
large number who are so perfectly fitted for
Governor (as only one can be chosen) there
tenydns a copious reserve for Senators,
SeJpeseatsUves, Congressmen,and even jus-
tiess of |b* Peace. Let a good man be put
tbevery office. A man unqualified for,or who
beglacts his duties ia any office is a reproftch
tb the community. Why should such be
elected? Presidents Madison and Monroe,
both for years after they were President,
filled tbe office of Juatioe of the Peace,
With no discredit to themselves, because
they were useful to their country,
It is not a time for personal ambition,
line preferment or favor should attract no
trae Southern patriot; but to be the most
Useful to hla country in this her day of
peril,'that Us energies' will enable him,
should be the fixed resolve of ail.
it is well known that Mr. Richardson, of
(ke&aio Gasette, Measrs. Logan & Sweet,
the San' Antonio Herald, and the pub-
Haber of this paper have for some time
, baan engaged in the work oi supplying the
MbooUfot tide State with elementary school
books', adapted to the wants of our peo-

1li%ht|^int. We also somewhat anticipa-

that a foundation might thu* be laid for a

It may be said that the tone of this letter
(it was by no means designed for publics -
tion) as well as of this article, is character-
ized by jealousy of the enterprise ot others.
Such is not the ease. In all legitimate en-
terprises. of others, the spirit of tbe writer
of that letter has always been most liberal.
Although he is engaged in publishing a
parallel series with our own, his notices of
our books have always been most kind,
and hia congratulations at our success most
hearty. But the disappointment created by
the kind .of competition now offering Ia
what causes the sting.
A conversation with our friend, Colonel
Sweet, of the Arm of Logan A Sweet, who
is now in Houston, reveals the same feel-
ings on his part. We feel that in speaking
for ourselves, we speak for both these other
establishments, when we ask the people
whose children are to bo educated, to indi-
cate to their teachers what are their prefer-
ences in this matter. We will cheerfally
submit the books of either publishing house
to a board of the most experienced teachers
for comparison with the Northern books,
and will even abide by their judgment, as
to which are best adapted to the schools.
None ot our series are yet extended be-
yond elementary books, but all of us have
books in ooarse of preparation on ifhioh
the best talent in the State is'employed,
and we offer tbe books already prepared
as a sample of what is to come.
Of oourae, if tbe people prefer Northern
books, we have nothing to do but to
abandon the further proseoutton of the
enterprises. Our Geographies, our
Arithmetics, our Grammars, our Histo-
ries, our works of higher mathematics,
our higher Bead re, etc., etc., must all
be dropped where they are. Oar own
books, already published, we shall
oontinae to supply so long as there
is a demand, but it must depend on what
we hear from teachers and the people as to
whether we can risk tbe expense of further
provocation of the'work. For the favor
hitherto extended to our books, we feel
grateful, and certainly count upon a con-
tinuance of it. '• 1 1
The fact that this matter is one In whioh
the public ought to have an interest is our
reason for bringing it to the attention of
our readers.

We had the pleasure yesterday of meet-
ing our old friend, Sam Crossly, who is but
four weeks from Fort Warren. Mr. Crossly
left here some three years ago, as engineer
on the Busk, and was captured on her. He
hss since been employed running the block-
ade on the Atlantic coast, with various ad-
ventures. He has been five times captured,
the last time on the " Let her Bip," in Oo-
tober last, when be was taken to Fort War-
ren and oonfined there till released on Brit-
ish papers, a month ago. He says his treat-
ment at Fort Warren was good, with the
exception that the prisoners there were all
kept on scant food, the daily rations being
four ounooaof meat and ten ounces of bread.
II was a constant feeling of hunger with
him for four months. . , ■■ ■
Mr. Crossly is now running the engines
of th handsomest and best adapted block-
ade rnft'ner in the port of Galveston. She
is entirely new, a perfect model, and ran
in with a heavy freight on seven feet of
water. She left Nassau on Mondays April
10th; and made her'anchorage on Saturday
night.
Kf. Crossly adds to tbe pleasure we have
in meeting him, by bringing us an especial
package of Bahama papers, embracing a
large amount of interesting intelligence.

Our readers will be interested in the:
sketch of we speech of Gen. Magrudsr,
at Galveston, for which our thanks are
due to brother Lancaster of the Banger,
who kindly prepared it for our columns.
The General has oome with all the spirit
and ardor which characterised his first
entraaoe upon the duties of commander of
this District, and will infuse his own en-
ergy into the hearts of the troops. He
is for fighting to the end; to live fighting
and die fighting, aad in this thoroughly
gama disposition be represents the feeling
of our people. They will baok him up,
we folly believe, in all his efforts to
thoroughly defend the State.

frequently, and it was ooUCloded in a re-

How was it that Lee was overpowered
and forced to evacuate Biohmond ? Be-
cause ss we believe, he had heavily rein-
forced Johnston.
How was it that so heavy a number
as 18,000 prisoners were taken in Rich-
mond 1 Because there were about that
number of detailed men in Biebmond
besides all tbe hospitals, for an aotive
army in the trenches of 50,000 men, as
well as clerks, petty Government officials,
etc.
Does this acoount for those apparently
unexpected events ? The entire army
with whioh Lee fell back from Biohmond
and Petersburg, was probably not over
10,000 men. He has lost very few mus-
ket bearing prisoners.

Since our last issue, we have seen and
conversed with an Intelligent gentleman,
who was in Nata at the time Col. Towis-
ohisky went out to attack the Liber-
als. It appears from information obtain-
ed on the spot, that the greater part of
his cavalry deserted when ordered to
charge. . He then fired upon them with
bis infentry and commenced retreating,
but was ambushed and shot through the
body, from whioh wound he died in a short
time. The remainder of his troops sur-
rendered immediately. The liberals had
marched to within twelve miles of Fiedras
Negras. The whole of the Mexican fron-
tier on Ihe Bio Qrande is in an unsettled
oondltion, whioh i9 very much to be re-
gretted, as it will require a greater num-
ber of troops to protect our own frontier,
besides interfering with onr commerce.
Maximillian will soon find, If he has not
already done so, that the native troops
oannot be depended upon, and that, if
he wishes to have a stable government,
and law and order to prevail throughout
his dominions, he must employ none but
Frenoh or Americans.
On Tuesday night we had a very heavy
rain and some hailv whioh caused the riv-
er to,rise several feet. Such quantities of
rain - nave not been known to fall Within
the memory of the oldest inhabitant.
On Tuesday morning last, a Mexioan
train was robbed, near the Sabinal, by
about twenty-five men. They went to the
oamp about dawn and represented them-
selves to be C. S soldiers, in searoh of a
deserter. After a pretended examination,
the teamsters were disarmed and told that
they were Under arrest. The train was
then robbed of silver, variously estimated
at from $26,000 to $30,000, belonging to
W. A. Bennett, A. 8. Kottwits, D. W.
Heard, and others of this city. The rob-
bers were all well mounted on fine Ameri-
era horses, and the wagon master thought
they were all Americans exoept one, whom
he reoognised to be a Mexioan.

The following morceau is clipped from
the Tribune of yesterday. Its deleotable
correspondent from Charleston thus belch-
es forth his fanatical spite :
A NEGRO IMAGE-BREAKER.
We found the Mercury offioe deserted—
a negro family already quartered in tbe
room whio*i had been the editorial sane*
turn! In the front room there were four
busts of eminent Amerioans—one of them
Calhoun. 1 have no respect whatever for
mere intellect, unless it is employed for
the benefit of the race, and when it is per-
verted and made an engine for the oppres-
sion of the poor, I have a cordial detesta-
tion of it. These human infernal ma-
chines, these'torpedoes in trowsers should
be treated just as their mechanical images
are treated—destroyed or put out of harm's
way. Now, Calhoun did more than any
one man to make slavery tespectable—he
used all his great porers to crush tbe ne-
gro. So I said to the negress who showed
us into the room :
"That man was your great enemy—he
did all he could to keep you slaves—you
ought to break his bust."
' She said nothing, and as I was occupi-
ed in examining manusoripta, I aid not
notice that she left the room. After a
while, having finished my search, I tho't
that the bust of Calhoun would be a good
trophy for the Tribune office, and made
up my mind to "spoil the Egyptians" to
that extent.
The negro woman was there, and I saw
tha the bust had disappeared. I asked
her where it was.
She had "gone done" and broke it!
So perish all Queen Liberty's enemies !
Who was John C. Calhoun, whose harm-
less bust adorned the sanotum of the edi-
torial department of a Charleston paper ?
He was not only the great Carolinian. He
was a statesman, a philosopher and a mor-
alist. He was emphatically all these. He
was a man of thought, of learning, of gen-
ius ; and the sublime purity of his life
would put to shame any one of his tradu-
cers. As the reptile born of a cess-pool
would perish it removed to a higher and
purer atmosphere, so would The Tribune
correspondent pine away if forced to
breathe the moral atmosphere of Calhoun!
The detested rat might gnaw the corpse
of a saint; the hyena might invade the
tomb of a vestal virgin ; but viler than
rat, and baser than hyena, this follower of
John Brown incited a poor, ignorant ne-
gress to break the bust of Calhoun.—New
York Newt.

A country parson, who was not over
promptly paid by his parishioners, on en-
tering the Churoh one Sabbath morning,
met one of the most wealthy of his flook
and asked the loan of a dollar. *
'Certainly," said the man, at the same
time handing over the coin.
Dominie put it in his pocket, and preaoh-
ed his sermon in most capital style, and,
ooming down, handed the identical dollar
to the man from be had borrowed it.
A bigot would muoh rather get to hea-
ven by taking bis neighbor's life than by
reforming his own.
It is conferring a kindness to deny at
once a favor whioh you intend to refuse at
last.
