For Its sign* are in the ky ;
And 1 hear It in I ho wlileper
Of the ci ispcd leaf circliiijg by.
And the Wyd-soug , too, are sadder,

There's r> drifting cloud above mo,
Just, as white ag ¡ui angel's wing ¡
And the flower* ate drooping, dying*
That were born in eai ly spring,
Tbere'n • bt'ownnesi 00 the prairie,
For the frosts have been there too;
Aud the earth looks bleaker,.sadder,
And the uUy above inore blue.
And the leaves are brown and withered,
They nre rustling where I tread ;
Ob! I hey must be Nature^ tear drops,
For the flowers tnat are dead.
And tho brown thrush cawg so sadly,
Aud the inoiik bird pipes his call,
And the robber bluck birds cbavter,
As in air they rise and fall.
I can há r che constant patter
Of the nuts o smootlie and brown;
Yes, the 'eaves and fruit logethcr,
Are circling, felliug down.
And away out in the orchard,
Neatb the fruitful apple tree,
Are the children laughing, playing,
Just as happy aa oan be.
And the sun is bearing southward,
And he sends u weaker ray;
And the air is still and slumbrous—.
It's a perieot autumn day.

And thy flowers are all dead;
But we should not l>e ungiatefol,

As long as the destructives retain

Mail Kototierifs. #
Tho Postmasters at Coetne and Leon
Springs represen^ that the mail carrier
had reported the loss of their mails. The
mail between Ftedenckftburg arid San
Antdiio, says the Mvpres*, was recently
robbed of its valuable contents.
These, and other complaints oí out-

to justify the action of die Legislature,
calling the attention of the head of the
Postal Department to a ratification of
tha evils.

Foul Play.
Wo learn from the San Antonio Ex-
press of the 14th inst., that a man by
I he name of T. B. Smith, was discovei ed
ljing on the 121 Paso road, above Tay-
lor's ranche. The impression was that
he had been killed for bis money, by
some person or persons unknown; as he,
when last seen was In possession of one
or two huTHlred„dollars in gold. When
discovered he had but one dollar and á
half in his pockets.
A communication from; a prominent
citizen of San Antoaio, addressed to the
members of the Legislature, will be
found in another column. The charter,
of which complaint is made, was clan-
destinely introduced by Newcomb and
passed by the Legislature without ex-
amination. It is regarded, by the citi-
zens of San Antonio, as equivalent to an
authorisation of a few men to sack and
plunder the property holders of thoir
queenly; city—m justifying acts not far
wnoved from highway robbery. It
remake to be seen whether Urn Legisla-
ture is to be run in the interest of cor-
rupt speculative rings, or of the
bedy of the people, whom they are
worn lo represent. #

Kcpuiivlth AdjutantOmeral.
The report of lb". Adjutant Q«i e<al
and Chief of Police is a very curious
document. It parades without discrim-
ination of race or color, a list of arresta,
leading to the conclusion that Texau is
distinguished for unprecedented lawless-
ness and crime. Upon a discriminative
analysis, it would, no doubt, be found
that a majority of the crimes had been
perpetrated by the blacks, or from dis-
turbances growing out of a government
in which the people are denied u free
voice.
The recommendations made by this
officer for a large increase in the force
and emoluments of the Police, show a
purpose of practically placing the State
uridci- a military autocracy. He not.
only advises an increase of the officers
to six Captains, twelve Lieutenants, and
thirty Sergeants, but asks that the fron-
tier force should be placed under his
command. Should this recommendation
be sanctioned, the 'State would be pre-
cluded from obtaining reimbursements
from tho general Government, as itwóuld
necessarily be regarded as eiclusivly
measure of internal or State Police. It
would, beside this, be obnoxious to Fed-
eral laws subjecting State forces on duty
to the command of Federal officers.
The Adjutant General in the coarse of
his report advisee as follows :
The law prohibiting the carrying of
deadly weapons is, iu effiact, a dead let',
fcer. Crime can never be thoroughly
suppressed until tins law is so amended
as to stringently prohibit any person,
except a^officer of the law, from carry-
ing amis Iroui under any circumstance
whatever; and I would earnestly recom-
mend prompt action on the part of the
Legislature in the premises. A weapon
carried for self-defense, is, in a quairel,
apt to be used for the commission of
murder, and except in the counties on
the extremn frontier, where arms are
necessary for the protection of life from
Indians and border outlaws, the carrying
of deatily weapons should be, iu all
Í)laceo and under all circumstances, pro-
libited upon penalty of heavy punish-
ment It should l>e made a penitentiary
of]'eti8&
We do not. question the honesty of
purpose of this officer in making these
recommendations, but to a people accus-
tomed to th«ir freedom and a gov-
ernment of law, they grate harshly upon
their ears. Col Davidson speaks from
a military staud point, as a professional
soldier, and as such, appears to be obliv-
ious of the Constitutional guarantees of
bttth the United States and Sute of
Texas. Tt is declai?^ by the organic
law of this State, that " every person
shall have the right to keep and bear
arms, in the lawful defense of. himself
and the State, under such regulations
as the Legislature msy prescribe and
by that of the United States, that " the
right of the people to keep and bear
arms should not be infringed.In the
íaco<*, of these fundamental provisions,
a law, such as is recommended by the
Adjutant General, would not for one
instant, stand the judicial teat. The evil
of which he complains, is incident to
frontier life, and, no doubt, leads to the
commission of crime; but wo cannot
approve of the remedy advised by this
officernor should-we fail to discharge
our duty to the country short of a stern
protest against the imputations of the
report, that a reputation for outlawry
and crime has always attached to this
State. ,
Tho abuses of the Police, the high
crimes of which numbers of the men
have been guilty, are passed over in si-
lence by this report. Nor is mention
made of t.he fact that tho duties imposed
upon conservators of the peace by the
genpral laws of the State, are disregarded,
to a great extent, from the offioiousnets
of the police.
The fact is, the whole system of gov-
ernment devised by the Davis faction
for Texas, is a relict of tbe effete desj>o-
tism of Europe, and as insufferable ns
offensive to a free poophe. In theory as
in p rao tice, it substitutes government of.
force for one of law, and nnoparilj pro-
vokes lawlsMness atfd orme'la its arbi-
trary attempt* to suppress it. Negro
policemen are employed, and captains in
the reserva militia appointed, as reckless
'J respect to dvil authority as ignorant
of the obligation it impocss. It would
be as difficult to make the Southern
people sanction auoh oppressions, if not
brutal domination, as to foroa an un-
willing horse to drink water. Where
Republican government is tdmimnered,
the people are not controlled as much
from a sense of tear «¿from respect to
the laws. Kvary etf-

a personal interest in bringing otl'ondera
tu juatka; but where engines of oppres-
sion a * introduced, a public apathy
prevails, and crime is augmented.
Since the day* cf the memorably
character of Cfunucs II, to the unterri-
M "Colonia" of Virginia, where "a
govwmeut of lav* " U> be adminiatered
by I he people, was grants!, to the p res-
ell t hour, the great problem of self-gov-
ernment has hiuged ujwn making l#w
paramount to force. Tbe standing ar*
mies of the old Colonies 0/ which com-
plaint was made in the Declaration of
Independence, was a character of Police
force .tow imposed upon this people.—
The substance ot our ¡HKipl®, like that of
ouc revolutionary ancestry, is being con-
sumed by thia abnormal dictatorship.
Should the recommendations of Col.
Davidson be sustained by the law ma-
king power, the expanse to the State,
would probably reach over one million
of dollars per annum. Not that we
would approbate crime, but t'tat wo veu
eraíe law. and regard a government of
force, whether organized in a military
form, or aa a disorganized mob, as equally
destructive to free government. Henoe
we make these criticisms on the report
of the Adjutant General.

The Reverse.
In Massachusetts thoy put up the
poor people at auction and strike them
off to the lowest bidder. In their fac-
tories they impose burthens upon their
suffering operatives abbreviating human
life, as their mortuary statistics show.
Infanticide is a prevalent and fashionable
crime m Dostou and other corruption
prevail quite as obuoxious to a well or-
dered society. The apprentice laws of
Massachusetts give absolute dominion
over persons held to se« vice under them,
and the most cruel punishments are tol-
erated on tbe apprentices.
Such, briefly, is the morality of the
hub, the hypocrisy of Puritanism, and
occurences like those related below, do
not uufrequently occur at the North:
A habeas corpus case, involving some
very shocking allegations of cruelty on
ti ¡"«it of parents towards a young girl,
is now occupying the attention of the
Supreme Court ot Brooklyn. If the al-
legations of the girl be true tbe was most
grossly abused by her patents—burned
with hot irons and beaten with sticks—
and finally carried off to the Iloyise of
the Good Shepherd ¿it Yorkvillo, from
which establishment she is now produc-
ed in court on the writ aforesaid But
tpe most grievous part of her compiaint
appears to lie the cruélty of hor incar-
ceration in the House of the GoodShep
herd, where, as she states, she was com-
pelled to associate wilh two hundred and
fifty gills, the majority of whom had lod
vicious lives, and during all the time of
her confinement was "compelled to lk-
ten to their vile ami obscena conversa1
tiou."

D? il Issues.
The Supreme Court of the United
Status, when cotn¡«>sod of tbe ablest
American jurisconsults, said: "The
truth ia that citixienship under the con-
stitution-of the Unite ! States, is nat
dependant on the possession of any par-
ticular or even of all civjl rights, and
any attempt so to define it must le&d to
error. To what ciliwnship the elective
franchise shall be confined, is a question
to b* delei mined nr moa Si'ate, in ac-
cordance with its views of the necessities
or expediencies of its condition. What
civil lights shall be enjoyed by its citi-
zens, and whether all shall enjoy the
same, or how they may be gained or
lost, are to bo detorminod in tbe same
way."
And in the face of this high adjudica-
tion, there are fusion presses and politic-
al hacks, wip talk of tho power of the
States in. regulating civil, rights, as dead
issues!

H
The Are 1*8- «ml Radicalism.
When the monster Thau Sevens,
about two years «go, was ushered into
the presence of sin avenging God, tha
custodians of his estate mode falsa publi-
cations of h assets for the purpore of
acquitting his memory of the corrup-
tions that had Been chained apon him
ia pubiip life. Tbe party over which
the man of brute force dominated, could
not risk tbe sequel of dark aiid damning
crime attached to hi* leadership. Cast
ing off the Constitution as a worth!
garment, a weight and hindrance to
construction, tho acts he devised for tbe
overthrow of the rights of tha State and
people, were only paralleled by a
or CaligUla. That such a monster
be a leading party to measures of pec-
ulation and fraud, iu which millions of
dollars would be accumulated, may be
easily imagined. But we ara not left
to conjecture iu this matter.
We learn from a Pennsylvania ex-
change, that up to this time his execu-
tors have refused to file the inventory
which the law requites. The officials
of Lancaster couuty are naturally auxious
to collect the taxes which ate due trom
the estate, and they have, therefore, cited
the executors to file tbe inventory.
The estate is now reported to. be much
larger than was generally supposed at
the time of his death. From time to
time rumors bavo been put in circula-
tion that a considerable amount of Pa-
cific railroad bonds was found among
the assets of Mr. Stevens. «
From full report, (says the Patriot)
of. the argument just had before the or-
phans' court of Lancaster county, it ap-
pears that the executors are determined
n
USH
to make every possible resistance to the
effort to eompe\ them to filjyM)
tory of the estate of Mr. StdRne
inven
Mr.
Dickey, one of the executors, took a
leading part in tbe case. Tbe authori-
ties of the city and oounty of Lancaster
insist that no proper levy of taxes due
from the estate oan be made until an
inventory shall be filed. Besides this,
the collateral inheritance tax remains un-
paid, and the register of Lancaster coun-
ty has taken no steps to secure the
amount. The executors rost their oasse
on a demurrer, in which they deny the
the authority of the orphans' cowrt to
compel them to file the required inven
tory. They hold tliatthe citation should
issue from the register's court. It is
siugular that these executors should so
long resist a plain requirement of the
law, and the question on every haud is
asked, what interest have they in re-
fusing to publish an inventory ? .They
assure the public that they can give full
satisfaction concerning their course, but
thay have hitherto retrained from doing
so. The case excites great interest m
Lancaster county, and will be watched
with attention by all wbo ara concerned
in the history of Mr. Stevens.
A Puff for bojan.
The Chicago Times, Democratic, fa-,
voi-s the election of Logan. República ,
as United States Senator from Illinois.
It says of bim j
Iu the Democratic party, he gained
the soubricjuat of "Dirty-work Logan"—
a designation that describes the ruling
character of the fbsn better than any
othér. ' ■' i > ftx&i \
He is the man the Radical party should
have in the Federal Senate. Since the
political demise of Mr. C. D Drake, that
body hos been without a firnt-clasa
blacsguard. Logan is the right man
for the vacancy. The elevation of this
ninn to the Senate; an thejpboice of♦ Abe
RaJncal p'any In Illinois, will not do the
Democracy any harm.

cotton to the exclusion of
which mtwfc. if persisted in, lead to
most serious evils. The short tig
policy *Wch has induced the
«ubstiktion of cotton
duotions of tha country, has been 1
induced, we suppose, from the
psioes'which attached to tho staple. Bui
when the stubborn fact is realized, that
over fifty per cent,, of the product from
cotton is appropriated in the ourohas '
bread stu ffs, tbe net gain if properly
timated, does
the old system. In vi«w, hawev<
the prospect of a general and pi
European war, with the inevitable
of a depressed cotton market, the
iug of large cotton crops would be sui-
cidal in the extreme.
There are, moreover, moral consider-
ations iavoring the planting of cerenla aa
> major crop, which ahoold not be over-
looked by thoughtful citizens. From
personal knowledge we can attest the
fact, that the growth ofootton requires
continuous labor for the entire -year.
There are fields of unpicked cotton at
this time, vieing with the hoary mantle
of snow in whiteness, which demonstrate
as much the protracted labor of which
we bpeak, as its unsatisfactory returns.
But the cereals may ha cultivated pe-
riodically and at such leisure intervals of
time, as to gi*e the producer the moat
ample opportunity for other pursuits.
Prompted by avarice, a grasping desire
to realise a monied income in the growth
efootton, the small farmer will engage
his children in service and keep them
constantly employed without the slight-
est opportunity of eduoational pursuits.
Under this pressure, before tbe parents
are conscious of tha fact, they find their
children physically advanced without
any mental culture and, it may b* their
education will be entirely neglected until
they reach their majority.
These considerations should induce a
modified public sentimow and a ch&Qge
in the eropacf this portion of Texas, We
have already reached tbe season when
the public judgment should be influenced
on this momentous subject; and we hope
to see with this new year, revival-of
the merry hum of the old grist mills,
whose ghosts tf longer neglected, will
rise np to rebuke the innovation of which
we complain,

Thurlow Weed audi tbe Mystery
of Two Generation*.
From tb* New foric Democrat.J
The great sensation of the last genera-
tion was tha disappearance of Chancellor
Lansing, of this State. He was a gen-
tlwmau of high social and political stand*
ing, possessed of large wealth, and
enjoying a wide influence. He suddenly
dropped out of sight, and was seen no
more among men. There were rumoro
of suicida and murder, but they could
not be traced to any definite aouroa,—
The matter was involved in profound
mystery, and wemed likely to remain so
until the grava gives up its awful secrete.
At length Mr. Thurlow Weed directed
attention to this almost forgotten mys-
tery and announoed that the Bectet ef
Chancellor Lansing"? disappearance had
been confided to hun under a pl«dgo of
secrecy during the lifetime of the party
or parties connected with it. At tlieir
death he was to reveal it to the publie.
He also announced tifa? the period had
arrived for revealing tbe secret, and that
he would unfold it in the aotobiográflty
to which he is devtóngthe cloaing boon |l§ffl
of a long and busy life.
But to the surprise of tbe publi#, Mr.
Woed recently announoed that on mature
consideration, and on the advioe of
trusted friends, he bed concluded not to«|| 1
reveal this mystery, and to let the secret
go down to the grava with him. He
stated that he was influenced to this
course by respect to the surviving family
of tbe parties connected with the disap-
pearance of Chancellor Lansing, and
also by tho tact that *11 tho guilty parties
