far Mr. B. L. Ham, an old citizen of this
coubty, arrived last Saturday from Jack
county, his present home. He reports Indi-
ans quiet in that section; that a large num
ber of families—who we can afford better to

STARVATION. %
The extreme pleasure it has given the
North to starve the ¿rebelious South into
terms of submission to their dictation, has not
escaped the attention of any one. If our meat
and bread had to come from that section, we
might prepare to go down on the knee, and
most humbly ask not only the privilege of
buying it, but also of asking forgivenees for
the unpardonable sin of setting up for our-
selves, and asking them to let usaltfne.
The North has long indulged in the asser
tion that the South was fttirely dependent
upon the free negro States for our bread and
meat. They may have believed their asser-
tion, and probably did, for we know men who
Wire born and raised here who thought so
too; while many Northern men among us
have repeatedly made such remarks. Now
there is nothing like facts and figures in com-
batting such illusions, and we therefore take
the following summary compiled from the
Census Report of 1S50.

To this might now be added
grain crop of Texas, which when'the Census
of 1850 was taken, was very small; but now
exceeds that of almost any State in the
South; and supposing that the relative
amounts rai^d in 1850 is still preserved be
tween the North, South and West, it may be
seen what the chances are for our furious
malignant enemies, to enjoy the pleasure of
starving the rebels into terms of submission,
to.be clothed and fed by their charity, and
educated and governed by their civilization.
The South has never known how independ-
ent she was; but an investigation into statis-
tics will open the eye to the truth that she is
the most independent nation on the globe.—
We have been too ready to underrate our-
selves, and take for truth the braggadocio md
egotism of the North, regarding their superi-
ority.
The troops to go into encampment on the
Bosque on the 16 h of July, will eonsist of
ten eimpanies. They will be organized into
a regiu:eut at once. We have heard many
suggest the name of Col. W. H. Parsons for
Colodel, and that of Capt. Horace Haldeman,
of this county, for Lieutenant Colonel. Two
better or more competent men cannot be
found. Both have had long experience in
the United States Army in the Mexican war
and elsewhere. Both are citizens among us.
They know how to treat privates as volun-
teer j ought to be^and we shall rejoice to hear
of their election.—Belton Democrat.
Judge Parstns has been appointed Colonel
by the Governor to organize the regiment
He was the oiiginatorof this Camps of In
struetion movement, and it was mainly 'by
his- advioe that the Governor was induced to
order their formation. We think that, could
he be prevailed on to become a candidate for
re eJec'.ion to that position, "lie would be
chosen unanimously. He is well qualified
for the office, having served in the regular
army for some time, and seen active service
in Mexico, Should he be elected Colonel,our
volunteers can rest assured that he will lead
them into the thic kest of the fight.
Our choice for Lieut. Colonel is Col. C. M-
Winkler—now captain of the Navarro Rifles—
an old Texian, who nobly defended the ca?se
of liberty in the dark days of the Texas Rev
olution, and was among the first in the State
to respond to the call made by the Secretary
of War for troops from Texas. By his ener
gy and perseverance an infantry company
was formed, of which he was elected Captain
unanimously, o*.d a more determined set of
brave hearted men never were banded to
gethei to defend their country's honor. Be-
Prepare to Save Hay by the Bale. — The
hay crop of the Confederate Statfes must not
be lost sight of. Let the tall grass of our
fields be gathered and packed into bales next
fall. Our Government will buy it, and msy
not be able to get it elsewhere. Hay is almost
indispensable to any ormy, and should be
neatly baled.—Charleston Mercury,
Texians I here is an opportunity to line your
pockets well, and do your country an impjr
tant service. The Confederate army needs
hay, and our prairies furnish an abundance
of it. Heretofore the Southern States have
imported thousands of tons of Northern hay
every year, and this State can now furnish
it if some of our citizens will only display
a little more energy in gathering it from the
praines and preparing it for market. It should
be baled like cotton—using hoops instead of
rope. Enough excellent hay can be had in
Texas, for the gathering, to supply the world
twice over.
A V.llain Punished.—The Richmond cor-
respondent of the Southern Confederacy re-
lates the following incident:
An Aboliffon cut throat went into the house
of a poor laborer .residing not far from Hamp-
ton Roads, who was away from home engaged
in his daily tdil, leaving but an innocent
daughter of sixten v^ars, dressed in simple
monrning for her mother, who had been dead
but a short time, and two little sons, the el-
der eleven or twelve yesrs of age. Beneath
that roof—the mourning temple of a mourn
ing daughter's honor—the unfeeling wretch,
aware of its unprotected condition, entered,
and throwing his arms around the waist of
the beautiful and insilted girl, violently
kissed her, and was proceeding to take other
liberties, when her heroic little brother
seized a loaded gen which sat behind the
door, and stealthily placing it near the
scoundrel's sknll, blew off a large portion of
his head.

Goo Buss tbs Ladiks.—The past week the
ladies of this place have been busy at the
chureh in manufacturing clothing and tents
for the Navarro Rifles, who left yesterday
for McLennan county to go into Camp of In-
etruction No. 9, where they are to remain and
drill forty day unless sooner ordered into
service. Tlc ladies deserve all the praise an
appreciating public can bestow. They have
worked e^rly and late in preparing this nec-
essary outfit. All tage* were represented
there, from the little school girl just learning
to sew, to the grand mother of seventy win
ters. The ladies of this section have deoi
dedly more patriotism than the sterner sex.
Last Friday we were invited by the Com-
mittee to attend a lunch spread by them for
tha benefit of the ladiet at work at the ohurcb,
and ean say truthfully that never, since our
sojourn in the State, have we enjoyed any
thing of the kind better. Yarious delicacies
crowned the board, among which was an
abundance of cho ce mustang wine c .ntribu
ted by Col. Eliot. The community could not
havo mads ehoibe of a committee of three
gentlemen who would have discharged the
varied and important duties devolving upon
them so untiringly, as Messrs. Eliot, Brooks,

Major Marshall has arrived at Hous
ton with a requisition from President Davis
for 2,000 troops from Texas for Yirginia. It
is not stated for what length of time they
will be mustered in, nor the branch of ser-
vice desired, but we suppose the call is made
for tiie war, and that infantry exclusively are
wanted. Companies wishing to enter either
of these legiments should apply to the Gov
ernor forthwith.

Selling Virginia Negroes in Cuba. — We
have heard from various sources that a large
number of negroes who have been captured
by the Northern invaders on the peninsula,
have been sent by them to Cuba to be sold,
and that they declare their intention to make
the sale of negroes one means of defraying
the expenses of the war.
The authorities of theScuthcan only meet
this-procedure in oneway. For every negro
kidnapped, some Yankee prisoner must be
pat into the hands of the master who haB
been robbed, to supply the place of his ser-
vant till the negro is returned, and for every
Slate sold to Cuba, or elsewhere, two Yan-
kees mnst be enslaved. The time for forbear
ance with these wretches has passed, and the
people of the South demand that they shall
be treated as their crimes deserve.—Richmond
JHspatch.
Brutal Outrage at Alexandria. — The Pe-
tersburg Express, of the 31st, details some of
the.doings of Ellsworth's Zouaves in Alexan-
dria, among which we find the following.
The heart sickens at such atrocities :
. One of these infamous villains was guilty
of an aet which,.in enormity, stands without
a parallel. He was out unde r the pretense
of searching for concealed weapons, and with
this all edged object in view,entered the house
of a female of the highest respectability, but
in moderate circumstances. She was alone,
With the exception of an infant, which was
but six days old, and lay sleeping by the side
of its mother. With any Bave a demon, the
prostrate and helpless cocdition of the lady
would have protected her, but such consider-
ations did not weigh with the New York
monster, and, .with the fury of a^a^age, he
gratified his hellish lusts. Our' informant
states that the screams of his victim attract-
ed the attention of passers- by,and the villain
was promptly arrested, carried before the
commanding officer, and ordered to be shot.
H< to the Kentuckians Handle a Rijle.—An
intelligent correspondent who lately left
Baltimore for Harper's Ferry and othe r points
in Yirginia, gives the following account of his
observations in a private letter :
At Harper's Ferry a Kentuckian challenged
a Yirginian to shoot with the rifle. The dis-
tance was a hundred and fifty yards. Old
Kentucky covered hjs six bullet holes with a
half dollar, and Old Yirginia was obliged to
get a' small tin" cup to cover his; but he
claimed the victory on the ground that his
bullets were twice the sizo of his adversary's,
Twenty eight men shot on the same day, at
threehundred yards, at a log the size of a
man, and twenty-t wo ballets pierced it. These
shots were all off-ban 1. There jp a company
here who practice at double quick timewa
full trot—and they seem to do nearly as well
those who fire standing. They are terri-
ble fellows, and seem- to have a most insatif •
ble desire to fight.
The Way Texian Rangei t Shoot.—A Charles-
ton correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch
famishes the following interesting item for
the Northern mercenaries :
1 see, in your valuable paper, a notice of
i be arrival in Richmond of the advanced
guard of Texian Rangers. Allow me to in-
form your Southern readers what kind of
troopers they are A friend of mine, an offi
cer of high rank in the army of the Confede-
rate States, has just returned from Montgom-
ery, and says that while there some twenty
of these Rangers exhibited the following feat:
A loaded revolver pUtol was thrown upon
the ground; the Ranger puts his horse up
to full speed, and as he passes picks it up
without Blackening speed; throws himself, a
la Comanche, on the side of the horse oppo-
site to his enemy, being invisible to him, and
under the horse's neck fires each barrel of
his pistol successively in the direction of the
enemy.

New Route to Texas.—Our enterprising and
always energetic fellow-citizen, J. Price, has
just completed arrangements.for carrying pas
sengers and the Confederate States Mail—tri
weekly, from New Iberia to Orange, Texas
The line passes via Lake Charles to the
Orange, on the Sabine, present terminus of
the New Orleans and TexaB Railroad. Mr.
Price has succeeded in establishing this line
at a considerable expense, with the view of
keeping up our intercourse with our Western
neighbor during the existing blockade, which
has caused the Southern Steamship Company
to withdraw their vessels running between
Berwick's Bay and the ports of Texas. He
merits success,—Attakapas Register.
A Valuable Suggestion. — The following
communication makes a valuable suggestion :
It has been suggested by a lady thst if all
the ladies in the Southern States were to be
gin now and make the old negro women on
the plantations knit coarse socks, a large sup
ply might be got ready, should we nave c
winter camj^ign. On every plantation in
the South there if a large amount of labor
which is of very liftle real value, and direct-
ing it into this channel a want, which will
surely arise, will be met.
It would be a good plan for the citizens of
this county to put the above suggestion into
practice, for the benefit of the Navarro Rifles

Noble Oirl.—We have had the pleasure of
reading the following extract of a private let-
ter from Georgia, and are allowed the privi-
lege of extending the enjoyment of it to our
readers :
"I must tell you of a circumstance I heard
of yesterday. A grand daughter of Dr Church,
of Athens, Miss Craig, (daughter of Colonel
Craig, who served with honor in the Mexican
war,) about sixteen, was at school in Bethle
hem, Pennsylvania. It was known a regiment
would pass through the town on its way to
Washington. She observed to some of her
school mates that she would make a secession
flag and wave it when the troops were pas
srng. They tried to dissuade her from it,fear
ing the ccnsequence. She, however, made a
small one, and concealed it in the folds of her
dress. The regiment came on with flags fly-
ing and great rejoicings. In passing there
was & slight pause Miss Craig stepped out,
waved her flag, and eaid three cheers for Jeff.
Davis and the Confederate States. Not a
word was spoken. She advanced nearer the
troops, and with extended arms said,'now
kill me, now kill me ; but remember, for eve-
ry drop of my blood that is shed, fifty South-
erners will be ready to kill you Yankees.'
The teachers, as sooB as possible hurried her
ofifeo her room, locked her in and pocketed
the key,fearing that violence would be offered
her, but none was attempted. She haB writ-
ten to Dr. Church to bring her home."
Good News!—The Memphis Avalancne, of
the 25th ult, has the following:
We were shown last night a letter from a
bearer of dispatches from the Southern Com-
missioners in Europe to a gentleman high in
authority her e, which contains the most cheer-
ing intelligence. The bearer of the dispatch-
es is well knewn in this city as a gentleman
entirely reliable. He landed in Canada, and
making his way through that province to
Chicago, succeeded in eluding the vigilance
of the Blaek Republicans, and reached Nash-
ville yesterday. He immediately dispatched
a special messenger to Gen. Pillow, with a
letter to the effect that his documents intend-
ed for President Davis, convey the chéering
intelligence that the sum of $200,000,000 has
been offered to be advanced upon our cotton
crop alone, and that the Southern Confede-
racy will soon be acknowledged as on« of
the Pbwers of the earth. The letter also
says that England and France have dispatched
twenty additional ships 6f the line to our
shores, and that the blockade will be raiMd
by the first of November.He says that England
and France are with us in sentiment, and
that our flag will soon be recognised by their
Government.
Search Tour Negro Quarters.-—Recent 'in
vestigations have developed the fact that
many of our negroes have fire arms, bowie
knives And ammunition in their possession,
and it is expedient that every slave owner
Bhould make a careful search of his negro
quarters and secure all snoh arms and atnma
nition ; also to keep a constant watch over
all suspicious persons who may be loitering
aroun<L A little care bestowed apon this
subject may save much trouble in the future.
