Mr. ^Webster defines 'this term to
be " a partv acting in anion in oppos
sition to the government; tumult,
discord, dissention." Gen. Reynolds
in his letter to the President, most
unjustly applies the term to the sap*
porters of Gen. Hamilton. The peo>
pi© of Texas are earnestly in favor of
restoration to the Union. They have
taken the President upon the record
he had made, and were ready to corns
ply with all honorable terms to obtain
reconstruction. We do not believe
that the President has joined the Rad-
icals, bat if it be true, it is only cers
tain that he has changed, and not the

of public sentiment among Republic

deliberately to the conclusion that a

even of the Republican press would
prefer the election of Hamilton to that

Little Wren thinks that several of-
fice seekers in this locality who have
long been on the fence, are about to
t-fril over to the side of Davis, in the
belief that it will lead them to power.
Wen, let them do it, and then have
long lives in which to Bee their great
"foDy. 'Men who now join the Radi*
^ cals to run for office, will rue the day
, of t^eir departure from principle. He
; aauM£'be> Mind indeed, who cannot see
* that the downfall of the Radicals has
already commenced.
__£e>The [certain defeat in Texas and
r Mississippi will be the deathblow to
thair hopes, and we really pity the
;<t3nen.wbo, now to run for office, go
■tovecto them. Even if they could be
o: successful in the present race in ob-
taining the inferior offices to which
they aspire, they would only make for
themselves beds full of thorns, upon
- which they would have to lie and suf-
fer during the balance of their lives.
The only ''factions" in Texas are
composed of the Radicals and the
cinque editors. They are the authors
ofall the "discord"and''dissentioh" in
the State. We had the fairest pros-
pect of the most harmonious recon-
struction of any of the Southern
States, nntil a few office seekers made
the attempt to build up a negro
party in the State to place them in
power. The whole State was ready
to follow the lead ot Gen- Hamilton
into the Union, and opposition to him
was. not anticipated. There was no
use for a Convention, when the whole
people, with ,^nt a.very small,number
of extremists to oppose, were in favor
of electing the leading, most promi
nent Republican in the State for their
Governor arid fully to do all that was
honorable to obtain admission.
But a few white malcontents, se
ceders from the Republican party,
authors of the db initio, division, and
social equality propositions made in
the Constitutional Convention, were
dissatisfied with their discomfiture
and appealed to caste and color to
sustain them against their own race
This is thefirst "faction" concocted
in Texas, and no one should have
known it better than Gen. Reynolds
and every candid man in Texas is
astonished at the partizanship be has
exhibited in taking sides with the
men who are building up a negro
party in the State.
It has been currently rumored for a
long time that the General is an aspi-
rant to the position of United States
Senator from Texas, but'- we cannot
believe it true, because we cannot see
how it is possible that a man of sense,
as we believe him to be, could expect
that the Radicals could be. successful.
It is a matter torus of sincere res!
grec that Gen. Reynolds has taken:
such a position as places him positive,.'
ly against the Republican party of
Texas, because it is notorious that
the Davis facti<&S|re I$%dicals in the
most odiouS sense of thkt term. We
are sorry that duty reqnires us to
speak so plainly about our Command**
ing General. He was placed hertf ai^'
our military ruler, and his position
demanded that he should be impar
tial. He had no right to interfere
in our aflairs, so long as. we obeyed
the laws and orders, and he has used
his position to aid a factious minority
against a whole people.
It would be a public calamity for
the Radicals to be successful; and
Gen. Reynolds, in giving them Mb
aid, is warring against the public
weal of Texas, But his course will
only help the Radicals more rapidly
to the political ruin which has been
as inevitable for them as destiny, as
plainly seen by all but themselves
and Gen. Reynolds.
The end will come.
These evils removed, we believe
a great change will take place in onr
agricultural industry, In fact, cotton
raising, when the war ended, was
seized upon as an immediate source
from which to obtain pecuniary re-
lief, and has been kept up since, to
the neglect of almost every thing else.
Few planters have felt it incumbent
upon them, pending the process of
reconstruction, to do more than keep
the vestige of property they had left
out ot the late wreck from going to
ruin. But the time Is not distant
when distrust will yield to confi*
dence, and the shiftless, apathetic
state ot things, which has so long pre-
vailed, give way to enterprise, backed
by capital, judgment and energy, the
effect of which will be to render the
South self-supplyiDg, as well as self-
sustaining.'
The Galveston Civilian is persist^
ent in its effort to convince its readers
that unless its second best man,
(Father Stuart is its first choice) that
unless its.second heSt man in the
State (Gen. Davis) is elected Gov-
ernor, Congress-Will not admit us into,
the Uoion. This is all nonsense!'
Before the venerable head of the
Civilian was named for that officet
that paper published an account of
an interview between ex-Governor
Throckmorton and Gen.. Grant. The
President, expressed % personal pre-
ference perhaps for Davis, but ad"
mitted that Hamilton was a good
loyal Republican, and laid down the
following requirements for reconstruc-
tion :
1. The restoration of the States in
good faith, etc.
2. The adoption of the 14th and
15th amendments.
3. Laws for the protection of life
and property, and such sentiment,
among the people as would allo^
free expression of political senti-
ment, etc. -J'
He also said he was opposed to any
repudiation of the national debti in
any manner, shape or form. , *•

an arrow. The Indians took the
wagon and team half a mile from the
road and chopped open every box,
and took off all of the goods and also
the mules. Ten miles from here they
took five more of my horses, and on
the San Maguil, they have taken all
of Mr. Hill's horses, and many other
horses and mules from other parties,
and they have made their escape.
The same paper has the following :
A responsible gentleman visited our
office on yesterday from Eagle Pass,
who informs us that on Saturday last
tHB Indians attacked a man Within
three miles of that town, and after
wounding him in several places left
him for dead. One arrow, which they
no doubt considered had made the
fatal wound, entered deep into his
head, on the left side, between the
eye and ear. The man came to town
a few hours afterwards and the arrow
was extracted. It had passed thro'
the cheek bone, and glancing down,
came through into his mouth.
About the same time a Mexican
herder was found dead, perforated
with arrows, and his body mutilated.

THE SOUTH.
The Northern journals who were
most active in arousing the angry pas
sions of their section during, the wajr,
are now pratting about the flourishing
condition of the South, and calling
public attention to the immense
revenue she is realizing annually
from her cotton crop. Suppose Ohio
or Pennsylvania produced nothing
else to sell but wheat, and devoted all
their labor, resources solely to the
production of ibis one great staple
article, would the Northern press
pronounce either of these States
eminently prosperous, though the
value of their wheat or floor exports
footed up to hundreds of millions
who thus devoted all their energies
to tbe production of one commodity
to the ntter exclusion of every other ?
The Sontbern States are foolishly
pursuing this course and paying out
annually millions upon millions to
the West and North for mules, bacon
flour, farming implements and articles
of domestic use.
The value of the cotton crop is
merely nominal, and no indication of
Southern prosperity as long as the
planter has to buy every thing he
consumes, even to his meat and bread
This practice was reprehensible
enough in the days of slaverya but
certainly is now the very height of
tolly. To tbe scarcity, and conse>>
quently, high price of labor, as well
as tbe political disquiet in the South,
we are ioelmed to attribute in some
measure the absence of diversity of
crops. ,
>, The Trinity Advocate contains a
glowing account of the meeting which
assembled' at Palestine on the 24th
ult. to hear Gov. Hamilton whom it
properly styles, " the people's can
did ate." Gen. Hamilton having failed
to.reach there on account of the ter-
rible state of the roads, the Advocate
ssya:
About 2 o'clock Judge Reagan took
the stand, and for about one hour ad
pressed tbe people in behalf of the
adoption of the new Constitution and
the election of Gov. Hamilton and the
Hamilton State ticket, showing by
clear and incontrovertible facts and
reasoning that the best interests of
the people demanded the adoption by
them of the new Constitution and tbe
election of Gov. Hamilton, who by
his conservatism, liberal, nen-pro-
scriptive and patriotic course, wa8
entitled to the highest honors at the
bauds of the people. That Governor
Hamilton although a Republican,
had risen superior to party, and was
now, as'in the conventiop, the friend
of the whole people; one in whose
hands their best interests would be
secure, and urged^he people of all
parties and colors who were in favor
of law and order—who Wanted to be
relieved of Military rule and be rid
of a pestiferous, irresponsible, degra-
ded and corrupt set of officers, snch
as this county is cursed with—those
who desire reconstruction and reeto^
ration of self civil government—to
vote for the Constitution and Govern
nor Hamilton and the Hamilton State
ticket. Judge Reagan expressed him
self decidedly and unequivocallv op-
posed to running a straight-out Dems
ocratic State ticket, as has been ad-
Vised and urged by a few extreme
malcontents, and was equally opposed
to any man running for those offices
or for Congress Bolely on the grounds
of his orthodox Democracy, and
urged the people to the same course.
education of*the white and colored
children of the State, to be bo orga*
nized as not to violate the social laws
governing the races, and so diffusive
in their character as to secure equal
benefits to all.
Which exactly corresponds with the
views we have heretofore expressed
in the Telegraph.
The following rosolutions suit us as
well as though we had written them
ourselves:
Resolved, That we are in favor, of
encouraging European and American
immigration, and pledge them our
protection, irrespective of birthplace
or political principles.
Resolved, That a system of inter-
nal improvements for developing the
resources of the State should,be de-
vised, and most liberally encouraged
by grants of public domain.
We find it more difficult to recon-
cile the two next:
Resolved, That the military govern-
ment forced upon the people of this
State, is in derogation of their liber-
ties and prejudicial to their material
and moral well being.
But furthermore, nevertheless, not-
withstanding, versus : *
Resolved, That we prefer tbe con-
tinuation of the military government
to the restoration of the State on the
proposed dishonorable terms, and
deem it infinitely less objectionable
than radical State rule.
Being- of a pacific turn of mind we
.think this pretty good.
Resolved, That we have not assem-
bled with a spirit of captious opposi-
tion to the plan of reconstruction den
vised by the Congress of the United
States, and will accept peacefully the
rule of the majority.
With these few remarks we will
dismiss the Brenham Platform with
out the benediction.
Indians on the Frio,—A letter
from Mr. Sanders Pearce, who lives
on the Frio, is published in the San
Antonip Herald:
On September 20th, my wagon with
a six mule team, loaded in San An-
tonio, irom tbe store of Messrs. Gold-
frank, Frank & Co., and Merritt &
Bro., on its return to th's place, and
when within three miles < i our vil-
lage, was attacked by a strong party
of Indians, who were driving a nuni^
ber of horses and mules belouging to
me. The teamstrr defended the
wagon and males until some twenty
five or thiity &Liots were fired at him
with six shooters and arrowy when
he made his escape, and arrived here
with his arm pinned to his bod^ with
gjreat W0 o^ntrman "llte'to raise our
voice of'warning. The railroad bridge
across Buffalo Bayou, and used by the
Galveston Railroad, is at present in a
very precarious condition. We learn
that at the request of a railroad man
of high degree, a board of engineers
made a survey of this bridge some
time ago and condemned it. We are
further infromed that the bridge is
lobbing or Bettling, indeed so much so
as to require two hands to turn it in-
stead of one, as formerly. This mat-
ter should be inquired into immedi
ately, as the lives of hundreds of pas-
sengers are daily in great risk, and
the disaster may be expected at any
time unless a prompt remedy is ap
plied. An accidental policy ins#
ranee company would no doubt find
it to their interest to establish an of ^
fice nearer this bridge.*

Waco Tap Road —From Capt,
Herriot, the efficient Clmf of the En-
gineer Corps, we learn that the work
hsiS commenced in earnest on tbe
Waco Tap Road. The firet spade of
earth was cast on Monday, the 27th
ult. Mr. Thos. Shirley was on the
ground with sixty hands. This was
as large a force aB could be used to

it is expected that there will be a force
of at least two hundred hands at
work.—Waco Register.

Richmond, Occ 6—In the House to-
day two resolutions that the iron clad
oath be now administered to mem-
bers or temporary officers of the
Houee were referred to the proper
committee when it shall be appointed.
A protest adopted by the Republican
caucus last night was presented. It
is formed with a view to answering
Attorney General Hoar's argument,
and protests- against any act of the
Legislature at this session, the mems
bers not bating taken the iron clad,
and the body being therefore illegal
—it was referred.
The following nominations were
made for Speaker: Stepbania H
Turner, of Rappahannock; S. T
Maddox, of Chesterfield ; and John
B. Crenshaw, of Richmond. Turner,
who was nominated by the Conserva-
tives, obtained elghty^seven. votes;
Maddox, nominated by a Wells Rep-
resentative, obtained forty one votes;
and Crenshaw five votes. Turner
was declared elected.
In the discussion, the point was
pressed that Turner now baa an ap
plication before CoDgress for the res
moval of his political disabilities, and
it was explained that though not able
to take the test oath, he was not dis
qualified by the fourteenth amend-
ment.
j. B. Bigger, the old incumbent,
was elected Clerk.
In the Senate tbe protest of the
Republican caucus was presented, and
a resolution adopted laying it on the
table,on the ground that it was mani-
festly an effort to obstruct recon-
struction, and rwas, in plain, opposi
tion to the intention of Congress ex
pressed in the reconstruction acts,
and in direct violation of interpreta*
tion of said acts by the Administra-
tion. j
A resolution was adopted informing
the Commanding General of the or-
ganization of the Senate. Adjourned
Richmond, Oct. 6—The House chose
T. Crittenden Sergeant->at-Arms, and
adjourned.
Z. Turner was elected Speaker of
the House to-day. He is a lawyer,
about sixty years old, and one of tbe
first advocates of reconstruction acts
in the State. He was an old Whig,
changed to a Douglass Democrat in
1860, and was shortly after defeated
as a Union candidate forthe Legisla*
ture.
Wilmington, Oct6-The [entertain*
ment on board the Cuban sloop of
war Cuba was attended by a large
number of gentlemen and ladies, tnis
evening.
No new developments concerning
the status of Cuba, but the public
^mind here is strong in the opinion
n^at she will be released as soon as an
investigation can be made. Her re-
lease by the U. a. authorities at Phil-
adelphia and tbe British authorities
at Halifax, and the fact that she is a
vessel of war regularly commissioned
by the Cuban Government, and not
fitted out in any United States ports,
seems conclusive that there is no juss
tification for her detention.
Hon. George Davie, Ex Attorney
General of the Confederate States, is
one of the counsel for tbe Cuban.
Washington, Octr. 6.— Cresswell
has appointed Thos. F. Conklin route
agen$ from New Orleans to Brashear
City. The case of Postmaster Crow-
ell of New Orleans was presented to
Postmaster General Cresswell to-day.
Ho was represented as absorbing in
his own person the offices ot Post-
master ol New Orleans, member of
the Legislature from. Caddo Parish,
involving the Speakership of the
House, hlso Notary Public and Chair-
man of the Committee to revise the
statutes of Louisiana mileage; for
each meeting of which committee bis
pay amounted to five hundred and
sixty dollars, and eight dollars per
day while tbe committee was in ses-
sion. It was represented to the Post
office authorities, that this concen
tretionof office and pay would ruin
the Republican or any party in Louis
iana. Creswell is said to have re*
plied that he had no control over
State offices, but that the Postmaster-
ship involved residence in New Or-
leans, and if representation of Cad
do parish, under the State laws re-
quired his residence in that parish, he
must resign one or the other.

pel a compromise.
Balloting must commence on or be-

a choice is effected.
Havana, Oct 7—The presence of

bor has had a good effect.
New York, Oct. 7—Tribune has

Vicksburg, Oct 7—The following
telegram has been sent to the Presi
dent:

view with a citizen of this State on
Monday last, used this language: 'I
intend to carry the election in
November against the Dent ticket if I

cinct to precinct to effect it.'
Will such action fall within his legiti-
mate official power ? The people,
with a fair expression of the public,
will in the choice of Governor, and
the consummation of tbe military
Governor's avowed purpose, will

Probably never before in the whole history of

excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.

Through a long series of years, and among most
of men it has risen higher and higher
of the races of
in their estimation, as it has become better known.
Its uniform character and power to cure the va-
rious affections of the lungs and throat, have
made it known as a reliable protector against
them. While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to young children, it is at the same time the
most effectual remedy that can be given for incip-
ient consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. As a provision against
sudden attacks of Croupt it should be kept on
hand in every family, ana indeed as all are some-
times subject to colds and coughs, all should b®
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in-
curable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the CJierry Pectoral. So complete is its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it.
When nothing else could reach them, under the
Cherry Pectoral they subside and disappear.

protection from it.

Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is-generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known, that we
need not publish the certificates of them here, or
do more than assure the public that its qualities
are fully maintained.
Ayer's Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c.t
and indeed all the affections which arise
from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
As its name implies, it does Cure, and does not
fail. Obtaining neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bis-
muth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous
substance whatever, it in nowise injures any pa-
tient. The number and importance of its cures
in the ague districts, are literally beyond account,
and we believe without a parallel in the history
of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the
acknowledgments we receive of the radical cures
effected in obstinate cases, and where other rem-
edies had wholly failed.
Unacclimated persons, either resident in, or
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be
protected by taking the AOXTE_ ClfJtE daily.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid-
ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimu-
lating the Liver into healthy activity. .....
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it
is an excellent remedy, producing many truly
remarkable cures, where other meuicuies naa
failed. „ „ _ .
