Messrs. Editors Civilian and Gazette: ,
The reputation of the " Civilian " is ip the
ascendent, in fact han been, and of late it has
added fresh laurels in its already acquired
glory.
The prospect for an abundant hai rest ia ex-
tremely charming. 1 can find nowhere in my
travels the most remote idea of complaint; all
are unanimous to put up with unavoidable in-
conveniences in the present crisis,and to econ-
omize to suit the exigencies of the demand
made on them.
The cotton has suffered somewhat from the
worm, but that pest to the crop is disappearing,
and with a favorable fall, an excellent crop will
be secured; better handled and more scienti-
fically arranged than ever before. This is ow-
ing to the fact that there is no market, and
consequently no hurry in pickiag, gunning and
baling.
The best corn I ever seen grown in Texas, is
along the Caney. 1 dare not venture to guess
at the yield per acre. Corn and cotton will be
an average crop in Victoria and Goliad coun-
ties and stock never looked better.
The cars are running from Port Lavaca to
Victoria twice a day, fare $1 50c.; but very
little doing. The ttversge amount realized per
day may be stated at $30. The car road and
accommodations are excellent. The company
have ample storehouses and very attentive em-
ployees, and when business re-opens no doubt
but this road will do a good business,
Vallandingham's speech being published in
your Extra the first df any in the State—so
they say here—has advanced the "Civilian" tap
a few rounds of the "ladder of fame."
I remain verv respectfully,
E. J. ALLEN.

Mr. Saunders will proceed to Washing-

think best, and engage five thousand bush,

A certificate given by Mr. Saunders, will

specified.
We trust that the patriotic citizens of the
interior will respond to this call,' with the
same spirit and promptitude which ha3
thus far characterised the course of Texas
in the present war.
D" The Waco South-West seems to think
that "as no fixed military policy for our de-
fence has been determined on by the Con-
federate Government, we must defend our
selve and make a policy of our own."
Precisely our views. It is impossible
with the dika^van^ages now in the way, for
the Confederate^overnment to bestow much
attention upon the defences of Texas ; and
1 the idea is extant that we are such a
e, that we are not only able to
> of ourselves, but furnish our best
men to take care of other people. It is to
' to expect much aid from the Con
1 authorities. Tennessee may march

Colonel Colt, of Hartford, has contracted to

these four contracts are for 100,000 muskets.

Berwick's, August 14,1861, a. m.
Dear Sir It would take a quire of paper
to say all I would wish to tell you. Suffice it
to say, that we are this far upon our route,
We have had a hard, fatiguing march,-end it
aflórela me pleasure and gratification to say
that the men stood it like soldiers without
trfrilpn' i «infla
Like brothers they are.
Everywhere the people cheered us, and said
were the most orderly and
behaved soldiers they bad ever seen or
beard of. When we reached Louisiana, no one
can imagine the warm and cordial welcome we
received—men, "women, children and negroes
vied with each other to do us kindness. You
never saw anything like it.
We have all come through sound; no one
sick or disabled; but every man able to do the
same over again. We have quarters prepared
for us in New Orleans, where we shall remain
a day or two to recruit and get ourselves in
order, by the time we receive Col. Wigfall's
dispatch.
My men are all perfectly satisfied and happy,
they appear to have confidence in me, even
affection; and I have no fears but that the
Lone Star Rifles Will reflect credit upon them*
selves -and Galveston; my only fear is the
want of capacity in myself to merit the con-
fidence they have in me.
In conclusion, say to all of our friends that
"God is with us." Say to the ladies—good,
brave an j generous women—that cheer after
cheer goes up from our camp for them; tell them
that "our flag is atlil there," and that it is our
pride to unfurl it to the breeze, displaying its
beauty and its inscriptions as we pass along,
for it is the admiration of all.
The description of the bombafdrient was re-
ceived with regret; but cheers from the boys
for the gallant repulse Capt. Alden received,
giving him the first and last shot. Let him
burn the oity, lay the last house in ruins, but
never surrender if! For all the injury he does
you, we will revenge it ten fold npon the van-

ruin and humiliation of the South; and for that
purpose they have made war—for that object
alone tbey are sacrificing ihe business and
wealth of the nation, and the lives of thousands
of the hard-fisted mechanics of the North.
From The Sandy Hill Herald:
Let there be no union with fanaticism—no
union of light with darkness—no fellowship
with men whose teachings have brought upon
our country its present disastrous oondition—
no swerving from the old landmarks—no aban-
donment of the Constitution; but there be a
united straggle for the right, and the day is not
for distant when victory will crown our efforts
From St. Louis Missourian :
Such coercion as this can only have the effect
of deepening disaffection to the Union where it
exists, and of producing it wjere hitherto a
different sentiment has prevailed. Indignation
and resistance will be aroused by a tyrannous
utterly subsersive of liberty. .
From The Paterson (N. J.) Register
The darkness and clouds of the night of dis-
aster aad internal war are slowly rising, and
the chearing rays of the day of peace begin to
glimmer in the horizon. Over one-third of tbe
members of the House of Representatives have
recorded themselves by their votes as in favor
of negotiations for peace.
From The New Hampshire Gazette:
Public sentiment has with great unanimity
and severity condemned the authors and insti-
gators of this fatal movement, and we devoutly
hope and believe that the condemnation will be
final and irreversable.

Who is to Blame ?
Eds. Civilian :—According to arrangement
with our Postmaster, I awaited on the New
Orleans mails, at Liberty, until 9 o'clock last
night, aud when I sent the Clerk for them, M-.
Bitterman, tbe Conductor on the T. & N. 0.
Railroad, said there were none. When the
Mail Bags were pointed out to him, marked
" Galveston," he replied that "he would take
them to Houston anyhow."
Our New Orleans mails are constantly delay-
ed one day in Houston, and the people of that
city, and also the country, are thus delayed
two days in getting their letters, for they can-
not open the brass-lock-bags in Houston. Is
this a time for such paltry meanness ? I think
not.
If they had come down last night on" the
mail Boat, our business men would have had
their letters by 7 o'clock, and tbe Houston mer-
chants their's at 11 o'clock, this morning, thus
giving all parties ample time .to answer their
hy return mail; besides, sav-
our newspapers the cost of telegrams from
Houston. Tours, Ac.,

Those resolutions, while they did not interfere
with military operations, looked to a peaceable
adjustment of the difficulties between the North
and the South.
From the Brooklyn (N. Y.) Daily Eagle :
What Union is there to save if the whole
South is laid waste ? A Union between the
SUtes of tbe North ? That Union exists now,
and is being cemeted by the ties of common
sacrifices of their citizens in battle and com-
mon loads of crushing debt and taxation, and
nobody seems disposed to break it up. What
Union then, is to be saved by laying waste the
whole South ? The Union of the conquerors
and tbe waste they have created by slaughter-
ing millions of people.
From The Saratoga Republican :
Every man who is not an Abolitionist and
who does not wish to eternallr destroy the
Union by war, these ninnies call a Secession-
ist
From The Philadelphia Christian Observer
" Can the Government submit to this treason
without disregarding the obligations of the
magistracy as defined by the word of God; or
consent to the secession without forfeiting the
respect ef the world ?"
We answer these two questions in the affir-
mative, and in support of this answer, we cite
the Divine authority given in the history of the
revolt and secession of tbe ten tribes from the
kingdom of Israel.
From The Tri-Weekly Yeoman :
A programme for tbe prosecution of the war,
the effect of which, instead of restoring frater-
nity, will embitter the hatred of the belligerents;
instead of sustaining the Government, will
destroy it; instead of reconstructing the Union,
will shatter it into fragments 1
From The New Haven Register:
It has finally come to this, that thariban who
talks of constitutional rights, the sovereignty
of the States, the rights of personal security,
or any other of the futftcmental principles of
all free government, is denounced as a traitor.
From Th Bepublican Watchman:
What should be done ? do you ask. Organize

question to the people; discuss it; tbey will
listen to reason now; passion had a terrible
rebuke; fear not to appeal to their verdict; it
will be on tbe side of truth and right
From The Franklin Gazette :
Dismal enough is tbe future, cert'5 nly, from
the present point of view ; but how much more
dismal and dsheartening and crushing will it
appear years hence, when other thousands of
brave hearts are stilled in death, and additional
millions have been wrung from the bands of
industry, if this unnatural and ungodly war is
to be continued 1
From The Coshocton Democrat:
This is no time for mincing matters—the
Purse and the Sword are in the hands of the
enemies of our liberties.
From The Louisville Union :
" War is disunion, war is final, eternal sepa-
ration." So said Mr. Douglas in the greatest
speech of bis life, delivered in the Senate on
the 15th of March last; and Mr. Douglass was
right.
From The Daily Free American:
Is this the feast to which the loyal citizens of
New Jersey are invited ? Are they to expend
their means, risk their health and lives fbr the
purpose of robbiDg the Southern people of
their property ?
From the Cincinnati Enquirer:
Are there not men left to snatch our beloved
country /rom its present greater perils? We
trust' in God there are; and if there are, the
people will not be slow to recognize them. *
* * * The sectional people have trusted
a sectional party, and they witness the conse-
quences. They see that they cannot carry on
the Government successfully. Tbey want a
party that can.
From the Syracuse Courier and Union:
Let the popular indignation wax hot against
these presistent dealers in prejudice and false-
hood ; let it overwhelm them as politicians and
public men, so that demagogues, for centuries
to come, may be warned against the agitation
of sectional issues and the formation of sec-
tional parlies.

On last Monday a fight took place at Edit)a,
Knox county, in whichthe-Stale forces attack-
ed a body óf Home Guards,- placed there in
charge of a lar^e amount of arms and ammu-
nition. The State forces drove the Home
Guards out of town and seized the property,
only eight or ten having been killed and wound-

On Thursday the Home Guards were rein-
forced by Federal troops from Keokuk, when
they drove the State forces out of town. The
State forces retreated, taking with them all
the arms and amunition captured, amounting
to some 500 stand of arms and 200 rounds of
ball catridge.
On Wednesday the State forces, having been
reinforced by a body uoder Col. Martin Green,

The St.-Louis Bulletin, (one of the papers

the 10th inst, has the following:
Gov. Jackson,Nrith three columns, is now
marching from the border northward to drive
out the minions of tile convention. One column
under Gen. McCdloeh. Price, Pierce, Rains,
Parson and Kelly, |i near Springfield with thirty
thousand men, conAosed of a due proportion of
infantry, artillery and cavalry. The report
of a fight between a portion of that column and
the forces of Gen. Lyon, at ornear Springfield,
may reach here at toy moment.
The middle column of twelve thousand men,
under Gen. Hardeé, has alreand moved from
Pocahontas into Missouri. _
Tbe eastern column, whose base of operations
is at New Madrid, will consist of about twenty
thousand men, under the command of Gens.
Cheatham, Pillow, Bowen and Thompson, and
may move northward in two divisions.
otwitbstanding reports to the contrary, we
state that are informed that all these columns
are well armed and well drilled—and that they
have an abundance of artillery, served by the
best officers, and plenty of cavalry.
The following letter leaves scarcely a doubt
that Hardee has captured Seigel.

The St. Louis Republican, (Lincolnite,)of
the 10th, has the following intelligence from
Saline, How^rdt nnü fiitrnifi"*1 adjoining
la Central"Missouri, a short distance
northwest of Jefferson City:
We learn by the Pacific train last niahHhat
a company of three hundred secessionists from
Saline county matured a plan to cayture Tipton
on Thursday night. Accordingly, they encamp-
ed about four miles from the town. The home
guard of Tipton heard of the plot, summoned
a home guard from a neighboring town to their
assistance, and resolved attack tbe secessionists.
They did so, and about one hundred shots were
fired without injuring any one, bnt they suc-
ceeded in capturing the captain of the seces-
sionists, (Ball,) and brought him to Jefferson
City yesterday.
A gentleman, coming directly froui Boon vflle,
informs us that on Tuesday last tbe Home
Guard of that place, numbering abont one
hundred and twenty-five men, left Boonville in
a body, on a ferry boat, for Jefferson City, after
having impressed an engineer and a pilot into
their service. They give as a reason for this
conduct, that, otfing to the departure of the
last remnant of the United States troops, they
felt no longer safe against the attacks of th*e
secessionists, to whom they had of late made
themselves obnoxious, by seizing many thou-
sond dollars worth of powder,, &c. They rep-
resent that secession troops are constantly be-
ing drilled in Saline and Howard counties, and
that their ultimate design, no doubt, is to drive
out the Home Guard. On the way down from
Boonville, the pilot, who was a secessionist,
ran the boat aground, or was at least suspected
of doing so, but the boat was at last got loose
again, and tbe pilot and engineer were put un-
der arrest. We are told that the indignation of
some of the men was so great that the pilot
hardly escaped being killed on the spot.
" Col. Martin Green, (brother of ex-Senator
Green,) at tbe head of 450 men, who had been
organized under the military bill, attacked Col.
Moore, whose force numbered 650, and drove
them across the Des Moines river, where Moore
was reinforced from Keosaqua and other towns
above.^ Green attacked them a second time, and
again, w¿eh,falíer a íard fight, Green
retreated carrying off their two pieces of artile-
ry, wounded, Ac. Green had to fight in all from
two to three thousand men, yet his boys fought
with all the coolness of veterans, and drove
them back in every band to hand fight.
"Among the State troops who were killed,
eight in ali, were some of our bast men. The
following names are all I have obtained : Jos.
Ewalt, Eli Barber, Mr. Moore, Mr. Williams
and Y. Boyles, all living in this neighborhood.
"There is no doubt the Federals lost from
200 to 300 men in killed and wounded.
"The country is thoroughly aroused, and the
masses are very indignant at the intermeddlinj
with tbeir rights by the people of Illinois am
Iowa, who, at tbe instance and information of
every intermeddling, cowardly Black Repub-
lican, send their armed hordes to rob and mur-
der our best citizens.

The Lone Star Rifi.es, of Galveston.
This fine company of Texas volunteers, num-
bering one hundred men, commanded by Capt.
McKeen, arrived here on Wednesday from Gal-
veston. They are quartered at the City Hotel,
and will leave this morniog by tbe Jackson
Railroad for Virginia, where they go to join
Col. Wigfall's command in the armv of the
Potomac.
The Rifles, iu reaching here from Galveston,
encountered many of the hardships of a sol-
dier's life, but they bore them patientlv, even
gaily, and are none the worse for them." l.eav
Galveston, they went by steamboat to
>rty : thence by railroad to Beaumont, thence
by steamboat to Niblett's fluff on the Sabine.
Then, bidding adieu for a time to the l.one Star
State, they commenced a long and tiresome
march of 150 miles through Western Louisiana
to New Iberia, which, though till; raiu fell
plenteously every day, and the men had to
trudge through mud and water, they accom-
plished in seven days, all, with one exception,
arriving in excellent health. From New Iberia
the company came by steamboat aüd railroad
to this city. •
We are assured by Capt. McKeen that he and
his men will never forget the kindness they
experienced from the time they set foot on the
soil of Louisiana until their arrival here. All
along this route the people vied with each
other in the most hospitable attentions to them,
and in doing all that in tbem lay to promote
their comfort. The universal enthusiasm mani-
fested by the people in tbe glorious cause we
are engaged in, Capt. McKeen says, cannot be
described. It is far beyond anything of which
he had a conception.—S. 0. Picayune, 16f7*.

Prince Napoleon was cordially received at
Manassas, and reviewed abont 6000 rebel troops.
He was pressed by Johnston and Beauregard to
visit Richmond, but declined. Some of his
suite report 60,000 troops at Manassas. They
are dirty, ragged, and look half-starved.
Prince Napoleon's experience at Manassas
was nbt such as to create a very favorable
opinion of tbe rebels or tbeir cause. His opin-
ion of tbe rebel oommander he expresses as
follows: " Gen. Beauregard has very much
show, much pomp, many people run after him
with much noise. I have not a very high ap-
preciation of him as a military man, but be is
very mucb of a gentleman. Gen. Johnston is
a very quiet and unassuming man, but brave,
and, I think, a fine officer. You can tell that
by bis looks; but my impression of the troops
is very bad.
In order to prevent the rebels having com-
munication with Washington, the market men
from Virginia are not allowed to enter tbe city.
The bridges across the Potomac are unpassable
except at certain times for Government pur-
poses. _
[From the N. Y. Times.
On the Tuesday preceding the battle, Genr'l
Scott, at bis own table, in the presence of his
aids and a single guest, discussed the whole
subject of this war, in all its parts, and with
the utmost clearness and accuracy. He had a
distinct and well defined opinion on every
point connected with it; and stated what his
plan would be for bringing it to a close, if the
management bad been left in bis hands. The
main object of the war, be said, was to bring
the people of the rebellious States to feel the
pressure of tbe government; to compel them
to return to their obedience and loyalty. And
this must be done with the least possible ex-
penditure of life, compatible with tbe attain-
ment of the object.
No Christian nation can be justified, he said,
in waging war in such a way as shall destroy
501 lives, when tbe object of the war can be
attained at a cost of 500. Every man killed
beyond tbe number absolutely requisad, is
murder. Hence, he looked upon all shpo^iufi
friends!
confirms tbe re
r, the Knoxville
Gen. Zollicoffer
order to advance the general object of tne war,
all destruction of life, on either side,'- which
did not contribute to the general result, as so
many acts of unjustifiable homicide.
If the matter had been left to him, he would
have commenced a perfect blockade of every
Southern port on the Atlantic and on the Gulf.
Then he would have collected a large force at
the Capitol for defensive purposes, and another
large one on the Mississippi for offensive ope-
rations. The summer months, during which
it is madness to take troops south of St. Louis,
should have been devoted to tactical instruction;
and with the first frosts of autumn, be would
bave taken a column of 80,000 well disciplined
troops down the Mississippi, and taken every
important point on that river, New Orleans in-
cluded. It could bave been done, he said, with
greater ease, with less loss of life, and with far
more important results than would attend the
marching of an army to Richmond.
At eight points the river would probably have
been defended, and eight battles would have
been necessary; but in every one of them suc-
cess could have been made certain for us. The
Mississippi and Atlantic once ours, the South-
ern States would have been compelled, by the
natural and inevitable pressure of events, to
seek, by a return to the Union, escape from the
rnin that would speedily overwhelm them out
of it. " This," said he, "was my plan." "But
I am only a subordinate."
"It is my business to give advice when it is
asked, and to obey orders when they are given.
I shall do it. There are gentlemen in the cab-
inet who know much more about war than I
do, and who have far greater influence than I
bave in determining the plan of the campaign.
There never was a more just and upright man
than tbe President—never one who desired
more sincerely to promote the best interests of
the country. But there are men among bis ad-
visers who consult their own resentments far
more than the dictates of wisdom and expe-
rience—and these men will probably decide tbe
plan of the campaign. I shall do, or attempt
to do, whatever I am ordered to do. But they
must not hold me responsible. If I am order-
ed togo to Richmond, I sfojU.endeavor to do it.

Richmond—now that it has been disgraced by
becoming the capital of tbe reliel Confederacy,
I feel a resentment toward it, and should like
nothing better than to scatter its Congress to
the winds. But I have lived long enough to
know that human resentment ik a very bad
foundation for a public policy; and these gen-
tlemen will live long enough to learn it, too. I
shall fight when and where 1 am commanded.
But if I am compelled to fight beforer I am
