>It. Pleasant, Titcs Co., May 5th, '61.
On Yesterday, CoL James Beily of Har-
ris county, at the solicitation of several of
our citizens, addressed a very large assem-
blage of ladies and gentlemen, on the pres-
ent political condition of our country. The
Colonel made a very strong and wailike
speech, and was at time." quite eloquent.
J*uch x speech ■ id s liuie, from such a
mau, was very much needed here, as we
have been infc-fen w:t'i a good many
(Jmou men w tlrm n i- members of the
• 'invention nsurpt-rs. and pronoonce their
acts tn be nugatory, flv i.e ieve >hat much
£ood will retail from Col. Reily's speech.
Mr. Gray then made a short, speech and
then read sonx* rt->o'n :..ri - or the right
Southern stamp. u- . -rc adopted
unanimously. Next Saturday, there is to
he a m ss meeting of the citizens of this
county at this place, when measures will
be taken to form a military company. The
reputation of the county has suffered from
the articles and editorials of the Union,
published here. The people have become
indignant at the tone it still holds, and no
donbt the editor will be compelled to
change or stop his publication. It is no
use any longer for Texians anywhere lo
i*!k of the Union and the Union Sag. Our
banner is the banner of the Confederate
States. Respectfully yours,
J. BRIDGES.
Mb. Ccshisg :—I met, at North Fork,
Creek Nation, a New Yorker by thename of
Cooly.a tall,slim,dark skinned man. I speut
a night with him, conversing with him
freeiy (in disguise) as half breed, dressed
in hunting shirt, pipe, hatchet, &c. 1 told
him I supposed he was " sorter abolition,"
and wan running away Irom Texas. He
said—" No, while in Texas, I did not talk
politics ; but I gave them h—11 on the
sheep question." He said "he bought
common, fini woolled sheep in New York at
$4 to 55, saturated their wool with a mix-
ture of lampblack and oil, and when the
sun shone on them, the wool would kink,
the blacking forming a crusty appearance
on the surface, and that it took a good
judge in New York to tell them from the
beat Spanish merino, brought them down
here, and sold tbem as such, for $150 to
$200 ; was engaged with one A.O. Taylor,
and sold in Grtnifes, Washington, Fayette
and Gonzales counties." Be this statement
of Cooly's true or false, it wpuld be well
for our sheep owners to look to their
sheep. Youra, J. E. H.
the present situation of mis-
souri.
The St. Louis Republican, (Unionist,)
commenting on an article in the Democrat,
(one of the Black Republican organs in
that Gity,; wherein the Democrat showed
that an overwhelming force is ready to
pounce upon Missouri at any moment,
says:
This is all true. We are bound hand and
foot—chained down by a meiciless military
tyranny—subjugated and shackled, for no
crime. Missouri, one of the free and inde-
pent Slates of this Union, loving the Union,
is the prisoner at will «,f a ruthless despot-
ism, ready to trample her under its feet.
We protest against tb's overwhelming dic-
tation nf the sword, the bayonet and the
bullets being thrust inio our teeth in the
sacred name of the Uuion. The Union
has not harmed us and will not. We have
done naught against the Union and will
not. But. the aJvisern ot the Washington
administration, in this State, who have
vound these gyves about our limbs, and
then dared us to do that which we never
contemplated doing, h*ve a fearful account
to settle with this fettered people and their
own gnawing consciences We are dis-
armed and helpless—-jailed in our own
homes—stigmatized before the world as
traitors—taunted with our utter weakness.
As American citizens we must submit to
this cruel, unnatural and haughty oppres-
sion. Bnt as American citizens, thank
God, we may yet think. The privilege of
treasuring these wrongs in our own brains
and hearts can never be wrested from us.
"The rifled musket, the Minie rifle and
abundance of c- nnon" will bepowerlessto
change this great shame from the hue of
blackness with which ltnow stands pointed
within the sight of the civilized globe.—
Nor can unlimited hosts of plunue.ing
bandits, like the "terrible Montgomery,"
root out the remembrance of the unparal-
leled outrage which has been and is about
bein/perpetrated upon this remonstrating
people.
How aptly some of the grievances set
lorthinthe Declaration of Independence
"* " bis'iyv of the ref.emert injuries and
lions of George III , may be applied
'to the present unenviable situation of Mis-
souri.

Legisia tire.
'■He has affected to render the military
independent of and superior to the civil
power. * * * * *

troops among us.

"He has abdicated government here, by

"He is at this time transporting Urge ar-
mies of f .reign m-eenarie^ to complete (he
works of death, desolation and tyranny al-
ready t>e?un, with circumstances of cruel-
ty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the
nioS' btrburous ages, and totally unworthy
the head of a civilized nation.

amongs.'.us, and has endeav red to bring
on the inhabitants of our frontiers the
merciless * * * savages (Jim Lane,
Montgomery 4 Co. J whose known rule of
warfare is an undistinguished destruction
of all ages, sexes and conditions,"
There are those that have been active in
the commission of the great crime against
Missouri, who will not soon be forgotten.
It is these, and not. the. Union, .whom we
hays to blame. Perhaps their day of reck-'
ouing may come; and a just retribution
may yet await them.
Glenbltthe, Njsah Bbesham, I
washihotoh Co., Texas, May 23d. J
Some one requested the other day, infor-
mation through the colupins of the Tele-
graph, as to the gathering, storing and
preserving of Irish potatoes. Yourself,
was it nol ?
The crop is a fine one this season, gene-
rally over the State. Here, the Neshan-
nocks are as large, mealy and deli«htely
flavored as any you have ever eaten;
though not yet ripe. Several still earlier
sorts—Fox's seedling, early red mercer
and ash-leaved kidneys, were not planted
until during the first week of March, and
though, all of an early maturing habit,
would probably have been too late to do
any good in a dry season; they yet now
promise a large yield.
So soon as the haulm (the stalks and
leaves) ripen and wither, the tubers also
may be considered as ripe, or nearly so.
They will remain in the ridge in perfect
safety until a rain, with dark growing
weather, occurs. When they should be
dug without delay, preferring a dark day
or early morning or evening for the pur-
pose, and keeping the tubers as they are
dug, from the sunshine. For, so sure as
they are warmed by the sun shining on
them, they will soon decay.
A cool and dry cellar is the proper place
for them, and the only one I have tried.
Then upon an open floor of fence-rails
raised abont a foot or so from the ground,
the potato s being spread to the depth of
6 to 10 inches, they kept sound and good
until next October, when the last were
used, a portion having been planted on the
9th of August, which gave a very large
yield, and were consumed through the late
fall and winter, and a part ol these were
planted again in January, and are now
doing well. Yours, T. A.
CONGRESS—EIGHTEENTH HAY.
Mr. Stephens, of Ga., offered the follow-
ing bill
A BILL to be entitled an act to admit
the State of Arkansas into the Confede-
racy.
The people of the State of Arkansas, in
sovereign Convention, having passed an or-
dinance dissolving their political connec-
tion with the United States, and another
ordinance adopting and ratifying the Con-
stitution tor the Provisional Government
of the Confederate States of America:
therefore,
The Congress of the Confederate States of
America do enact. That the State of Arkan-
sas be and is hereby admitted into this
Confederacy, upon an equal footing with
the other States, under the Constitution
for the Government of the same.
Mr. Stephens moved that the bill be put
upen its passage, and that the vote on it be
taken by States.
Mr. Withers, of South Carolina, said he
presumed the official evidence of the pas-
sage of an ordinance of secession by the
State of Arkansas was in this Convention,
and he desired to have the fact so an-
nounced.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, said that all
the official papers were here.
The President stated that the gentleman
from Georgia (Mr. Stephens) had in his
possession the ordinance of secession
adopted by the Convention of Arkansas,
and also the ordinance adopting the Pro-
visional Constitution.
Mr. Withers—I am satisfied. It is best
always to know that the official papers are
present.
On the call of States, the vote in favor of
the admission of Kansas was unani-
mous.
On motion of Mr. Stephens, the dele-
gates from Arkansas were, duly sworu in
and took their seats.
The delegates are—
R. W. Johnson, of Pine Bltiff, Arkan-
sas.
A. Rust, rf Little Rock,
A. H. Garland, of Little Rock, '
W. W. Watkins, of Carrollton,
II. F. Thompson, of Van Buren,
The latter named gentleman was not
present, but is expected here in a day or
two.
On motion ol Mr. Stephens, the Presi-
dent was instructed to appoint one addi-
tional member on the Committees on Indian
Affairs, Postal Affairs, Public Lands and
on Commerce.
Mr. Kenner then moved that. Congress
gn into secret session.
TEXAS ITEMS.
An enthusiastic meeting
held at this place on 30thllay, 1861. Dr. Inge was
called to the chair, andCapt. Tilford Whitesides
acted as Secretary. A committee consisting of J.
K. Holland, J. Saafltels, Dr. Fisher and J. B. Ash-
ford, were appoiated to consider and report upon
the object of tie meeting. During the absence of
said committee.Gapt. Shannon of Hollandale, be-
ing called upon, rosponded in a speech
of half an hour's length, his^earnest, honest, pa-
triotieind eloquent appeal let joy in every heart;
an< every heart responded to the noble senti-
ment uttered by the yonng and popular orator.
The committee through their Chairman Col. Hoi
land, made the following report, which was una-
nimously adopted:
Whereas, the black republican president has
virtually declared war against the "Rebel States
and boldly proclaimed that they shall be driven
back into peaceful brotherhood and submission to
his will. And, whereas President Davis, the
tried, true and great soldier patriot-has made ms
will in due and ancientform,and said to the world
in language as plain as the hand writing upon t le
wall—too plain to be misunderstood, that the gal-
lant sons of Sonthern sires will now and forever
be freed from all further contamination of frater-
nal association with the North or die1? defence
of oar rights, determined, cost what it may of
blood and treasure, to maintain the independence
and unconditional and unqualified sovereignty
oar new government. And, whereas, we, a por-
tion of the citizens of Grimes county, Knowing
the honorable position of a place m the front
i-anks of the Southern army m the first grand mil-
ita,*vmove against the abolition tyrant, tierony
pledge ourselves before the great God of the hatties
of the Universe—as one man, to aid with all the
means at our command, at all times and under all
circumstances when called upon in sending for-
ward armed and equipped as the law directs, vol-
unteer soldiers from-our midst, and to this end-
Therefore be it
Resoteed, That all true patriots in this commu
nitybe requested to come forward with alacrity
and an open purse, evince their loyalty to the no-
ble cause, not only in patriotism but in dollars
andcents.
Resolved, That the true test is hereby tendered
to all who feel a common interest in defence of our
common firesides and our common countries rights
are expected and earnestly requested to give free-
ly; and that in this thing men will be judged ac-
cording fo their works, and that the true patrio-
tism among those of us who remain at home,
whilst oar brave sons and brothers are fighting our
battles, will be measured by our purses and wil-
lingness as ability to give.
Resolved, That that man, a Texian (being able)
who would not give in a cause like this, or fail to
come forward in response to the noble impulse of
manly duty to his country, in this her hour of
greatest need, without good and sufficient cause is
not only not above suspicion, but recreant to eve-
ry'principle of patriotism and loyalty— giving aid
and comfort to the enemy.
Rtsolvtd. That those of us who cannot at pres-
ent take up the line of march to meet the enemy,
but, whilst we remain at home with our arms fold-
ed in peaceful security, sleeping in undisturbed
repose in our quiet homes, with the proud satis-
faction of knowing that our brave Texas boys have
gone to glory, and ere long will be engaged in a
perilous and bloody conflict, we not only promise
but pledge ourselves by every consideration of
friendship, duty and honor, not only to aid in
arming and equipping every man who can and
will go into arms, and not able to arm and equip
himself, but with pride and pleasure shoulder the
responsibility of looking after, taking care of and
providing for all the families of the volunteers,
who may need attention at our hands.
After some explanatory remarks by Messrs
Ashford, Samuels, Holland and others, and a very
sensible and well timed speech from our fellow
citizen, Mr Jonathan Greshaw. the resolutions
wre adopted.
nr. Fisher was appointed to take up contribu
tions.and repoited an adjourned meeting on Mon
day next, and from indications, it is believedS1500
will go into the county fund from this neighbor
hood. The Houston Telegraph and Texas Bap-
tist w«re requested to publish.

Tha Kcica of Terror in Philadelphia.
The following letter written by Robert
Tyler, Esq , son of ex-President Tyler, to
the Mayor of Philadelphia, will be read
with much interest. It shows the extent
of terrorism and violence which exist, or
did lately exist, in Pennsylvania, and
which made it unsafe for Mr. Tyler to re-
main in the State. We learn moreover,
that not a single newspaper in Philadel-
phia dared to puulish this letter of Mr.
Tyler.—N. Y. Noes.
Niw You, May 6th 1S61.
To Alexander Haury, Esq., Mayor of Philadelphia:
.^Sis—I have been compelled to abandon
-'ay home and my business in the State of
Pennsylvania, and to seek the protection of
the laws in another jurisdiction. My peace
has been invaded, my liberty obstructed
and my life threatened, and I am forced to
separate myself from my family, and in a
proper sense of self-respect to resign the
office of Prothonotary of the Supreme Court
for the Eastern District. I cannot visit
Philadelphia or Harriiburg on business
connected with my office without encoun-
tering insult and menace, which I would
be certain personally to resent, and which
in that contingency would in all probabil-
ity prove fatal to me.
Under these circumstances, I desire to
enter my protest in this letter addressed
to yon in your official character against
the fact of my absence from the State be-
ing construed into a voluntary relinquish-
ment of the rights of citizenship I have ac
quired under the Constitution and laws by
many years residence.
I sincerely hope that the people of Pen-
sylvania will soon recover from the mania
fur Blood and war with which they are now
so singularly afflicted, and that peace, rea-
son and the laws may speedily establish
themselves over the military terrorism and
mob anarchy now existing. Madmen have
rendered the Union an imposibility. Will
our people of Pennsylvania yield their lib-
erties without resistance ? is now the only
question.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
ROBERT TYLER.
worthy or notice.—A correspondent
writes as follow* from Amelia Court-house,
Va., to the Richmond Enquirer:
Poapey Seo'tt, a slave of Adoiphus Ar-
cher, of this county, to-day contributed
twenty dollars, to be expended for the com-
tt of the volunteers of his county. He
i! % servant, and nnder-
j W\*t h* w «iTin8 his money for. I
hU myrmidons would
think ofthis. Pompey says he wants it
known that he is ready to give his money
to support the war. 1
The Quitman Clipper learns from a pri-
vate letter from Austin, that it is expected
that Galveston will be bombarded in a few
day#. What next? With its present
means of protection, Galveston oould sink
half the United State* navy before it could
iajim the town by a bombardment.
The Columbia Democrat reports the first'
boll of cotton of the season.
The Democrat says .•
A liberal proposition has been started,
and signed by several of our wealthy plan-
ters, to the effect-that they will loan to the
Cnnfedera.e States one half of their in-
coming crop of cotton.—They obligate
themselves to deliver it to any agent the
government may appoint to receive it, at
their" usual place of shipment.
This is truly lioeral, and we would be
glad to receive the names of all such plan-
ters for publication. Their patriotism is
worthy of all praise; and as good acts be-
get good acts, the publication of their
names will be of advantage to the country.
A public meeting was held in Brazoria,
on the 25th, at which resolutions were
passed to raise a subscription for materials,
labor, provisions and money for throwing
up coast defences ; requesting the County
Court.to appropriate $1000 for same pur-
pose, and $2000 for arms, amunition, etc.,
putting tlfe work under the charge of Col.
Forshey, recommending that Col. Forshey,
wait on Col. Rogers, for the purpose of ac
cepting.and' receiving the two pieces of
artillery kindly tendered by him for coast
defence, etc., etc. Brazoria is all alive to
the wai.
The.people of Brazoria County in mass
meeting have nominated their talented
and patriotic fellow citizen, Col. Jno. A.
Wharton for Congress. Wharton is a pop-
ular man, and if elected will be a splendid
representative.
The Waco South West says that McLen-
nan county has appropriated $10,000 to
buy arms.
The South West regards Kansas the
proper battle ground between the North-
western and Southwestern States.
The Jefferson Herald has the following
notice:
All Merchants, Lawyers, and other per-
sons are notified not to remit or send any
money to the Uoited States, to any citi-
zens there ; for if discovered, they will be
handed over to the proper authorities of
the State, orConfederate States, to be dealt
with.
By order of the Jefferson Vigilance
Committee.
The Herald says that Marion county, the
smallest in the Stale, has now two hundred
men on active duty in the field.
The Seguin Confederacy says that four-
teen inches of water have fallen in Se
guin within the last three months. Wheat
is yielding 9 to 18 bushels, which is the
range for the wheat region of ill the bal-
ance of the world, except Northern Texas,
where it sometimes reaches 36 to 40 bush-
els.
The Confederacy mentions a new broom
manufactory in Seguin, also a stoneware
factory in Guadalupe county, which has
been in operation several years.
That Wonderful Gu .—It now appears
that the wonderful steam gun, which was
captured by Gen. Butler, is useless after
all. Mr. Dickinson, the inventor, was not
captured, as has been stated, but escaped
with the most essential part of the ma-
chine—"the gun" itself—without which,
the machinery is of no more use than an
old wagon. The machinery has all been
taken to pieces and examined by the Mas-
sachusettes mechanics, but they find that
nothing can be made out of the wonderful
(ton-
Public Meetine in Hopkins County.
▲t a meeting of the citisens of the "Confede-
rates of America'' of Hopkins county, assembled
at the court house on the 15th of May, 1861. On
motion Wm. M. Ewing, Eiq„ was called to the
Chair, and S. A. Grant was appointed Secretary
whereupon Col. James Beiley, of Harris county*
was called upon to explain the objectof the meet-
ing, which he did in a brief and enthusiastic man
ner,andmadea Stirling appeal to the people of
Hopkins, and the home guards in particular, to
act promptly and decidedly in behalf of our com-
mon defence and general welfare. After which, on
motionthe following gentlemen were appointed to
draft resolutions expressive of the 'eeling and
wishes ol the meeting, to-wit: L. Q. Harmon, Z.
G. Mathews, Dr. J.J. Reeves,Capt F.E. Finney
and L. E. H Houghton Esq.. who, after retiring a
time return ;d the following:
Whereas, the government of the Confederate
States of America have with a moderation and for
bearance unexampled, sought by every honorable
means to obtain peaceable secession, but all such
efforts having teen met dv the administration of
the black republican party with perfidp and we
are left with no alternative but base submission or
war.
Resolved, that we accept the issue of war made
by the Lincoln administration, and trusting in
tbe justice of our cause dare the northern people
to the contest.
Resolved, Tl at Texas in joining her destiny to
that of the Southern Confederacy, did an act of
which we are proud, and that our arms, oar ener-
ges, our lives and our fortunes are pledged to sus
tain her rights and her duties in her present polit-
ical relationship.
Resolved, That it is the duty of every good citi-
zens to be prepared to defend his country at a mo-
ments warning from either enemies at home or
abroad; and, that we recommend every precinct in
the county to effect an immediate organization of
at least one company: ready to resist invasion
from without or disobedience and treason at home.
Resolved, That our position as a Southern com-
munity and as citizens of a State that has thrown
off the yoke of allegiance to the fanatics North,
both requires and justifies us in declaring that the
presence in our midst of persons not loyal to Tex-
as or the Confederate States, is dangerous, that
their residence amoug us is an insult, aad that all
such sympathisers with the abolition party, ^hat
are now in power at Washington City be notified
that the utterance of treasonable language against
the authorities of Texas or the Confederate Stat^a
will be certain to bring upon their heads speedy
punishment.
Resolved, That the County Court of Hopkins
county be requested to appropriate two thousand
dollars out of the County Treasury, to purchase
arms and munitions o f war.
Resolved, That we ignore, any Union but the
Union of the Southern States, and all and every
Sag, but the Lone Star of Texas and the flag of
the Confederate States of America.
Resolved, That a copy, of these resolutions be
sentto the editor of the State Gozette,and the
.Quitman Herald.
Which after having been read, in the house, on
motion was unanimously adopted.
Cn motion the meeting then adjourned.

THE Proprietor and inventor of these Pnti? Ilip,
after a successful trial of them in various sec-

to intrc luce them generally to the public, satisfied
that a fair trial is all that is necessary to make them
a favorite remedy.
They hare ntrer, in a single instance, failed tn cure
when the direct urns have been faithfully fuOowed.
It they fail to cure, after the directions have been
complied iciih. the money will be returned.
But few certificates have been Liken, for the simple
reason, that except in the immediate neighborhood of
thf residence of the person giving the certificate, it is
ol no use. The Pills will recommend themselves as
soon as they have had a fair trial.

that will CURE is the one which is wanted, and

A Word of Solemn Conscientious Advice
to those who wHI Reflect.
A classof maladies prevail to a fearful extent in com
munity dooming at least 100.000 youth of both sexes
annunally to an early grave. Those diseases are very
imperfectly understood. Their external manifesta-
tions or symptoms are Nervous Debility, Relaxation^
and Exhaustion; Marasmus or wasting arid consump-
tion of the tissues of the whole body; shortness of
b reathing or hurried breathing on ascending a hill or a
flight of stairs, great palpitation of the Heart; Asthma
Bronchitis, and sore Throat; shaking of the Hands and
Limbs; aversion to society and to business or study;
di jiness of Eyesight; loss of Memory; dizziness of the
Head; Neuralgic Pains in various parts of the bodj;
I alns in the Back or Limbs: Lumbago, Dyspepsia, or
.ndigestion,Irregularity of the Bowels deranged sec-
lions of the Kidneys, and other glands of the body, as
Leucourhoea or Fieur Albus, «£c.; likewise Epilepsy;
Hysteiia, and Nervous Spasms.
Now, in ninety-nine cases out of every one hundred
all the above named disorders, and a host of others not
named, as Consumption of the Lungs, and the most in-
siduous and wily form of Consumption of the Spinal
Serves, known as Tabes Dorsales, and Tabes niisen-
tereries, have their seat and origin in diseases of Pel
vie Mscera. Hence the want of success on the par
of old school practice iu treating symptoms only.
Dr. Andrew Stone. Physician to the Troy Lu-.g and
ny.Ienlc Institution, iSiLOw engaged iu treating this
class of modern maiadleVvlth the most astonishing
success. The treat rm niHH^pted by the Institution is
new; it is based upon Kneutiflc principles, with new
discovered remedies, without minerals or poisons.
The facilities of cure are such that patients can be
cured at their houses, in any part of the country, from
accurate description of their case, by letter, and have
the med iclnes sent them by mail or express. Printed
interrogatories will be torwarded on-uorllcatlon.

T hroat cured as well at the flumes of patients as at the
Institution by sending the Cold Medicated Inhaling

WIND MILLS.
F(R PUMPING Water from well, orrtrwuns, nf
irrigation, stock, railroad stations, etc-
These Minn regulate themselves, according, both t o
the lntensitv of the wind and the fullness of the cistern
In a storm they present the edgeof the blades to the
wind, and consequently can never be injured or blown
down. In a light breeze the blades are 6lr to the wind
and whatever the Intensity or the wind, the speed is al-
ways the same: and wheneverthe cistern is filled to anv
desired depth, the edges of tbe blades are alsopresfnte.1
to the breeze, and the Mill stops. Acrordingty, when
once set up and put to running, it needs no attention,
but will operate the year round like a thing of life.thu*
drawing no more water than is required.
Forthe purposes above mentioned, they surpass eve
rythlng ever brought into use. They can be seen a

and at Gum Island Station on tl^e Houston* Texas Ceu
tral Railroad.
