PROCLAMATION.
FROM GENERAL SAMUEL HOUSTON.
Ndcogdoches, Terds, Aug. % 1886


Nacogdoches, Tsrds, Aug. % 1886.
To THE CITIZENS OF TEXAS.
From reports which have reached me am
induced to believe that our situation is. unsafe;
some Cherokees with the native Castilians,
have returned to tho Cherokee village, from
Matamoras, and say that the Indians of the
Prairie and Mexican force are about to attack
this portion of Texas. The counties of San
Augustine, Sabine, Tanahaw and Beval as
well as Nacogdoches, will forthwith organize
the Militia Of each County. The following
requisitions are made to sustain the United
States force at this place until reinforcements
can arrive at this place from Gen. Gaines, VIZ:
Sixty-four from San Augustine, fifty-six, from
Sabine, and thrty-three from Bevl. The
troops will repair to this place, with the least
possible delay, and report to the commanding
General as soon as they arrive.
This call is made through the judges of the
several counties, and must be regarded as the
law of the land; the troops viii only be detain-
ed few DAYS, so soon as Gen. Gaines can
send reinforcements to this place, they viii
be discharged.
Let arms and ammunition be brought, at least
one hundred rounds are requested. The com.
mander-in-chief viii be with the freemen of
Texas. Ifthey have to meet an enemy all the
men of Texas must have their arms IN order
to have liberty we must be watchful.

We learn, by letter from an intelligent
gentleman residing in one of the Indian ma
tons west of Arkansas that
1.-The Indian country, at this time, is in
state of considerable excitement. The Creeks
and Cherokees have held secret council, at
which, it is believed, they formed an alliance,
to sustain the present Creek chief Roly Nc
Intosh, in authority, against the claims of
Nea Mathla, who was the second chief of all
the Creeks east, and is now at the head of a.
numerous band of his people, approaching
their new country west. A great national
ban-play took place, few days ago, in re.
mote part ofthe Cherokee nation, where it is
supposed, their plans were developed to the
great body Of the Cherokee people. But
nothing has as yet happened, or is like to hap
pen, to disturb the slumbers the good people
of Arkansas. s."-GazeHe.

From the Mobile Commercial Register, Sept. IA
From Lieutenants Grason and Dunn, of the
United States Army, we have received ipfor-
nation of the arrangements made by Gen. Jes-
sup for the prosecution OF the fall campaign
against the Seminoles.
About the 1st of ofSeptember, the Tennessee
troops under Gen. Armstrong marched for
Tallahassee. On the 10th, the regular troops
under Gen. Jessup, were falling back on Fort
Mitchell, preparatory to their embarkation for
Florida. The force destined for the campaign
consists of 600 regulars, 500 marines. 1000
Creek warriors, 1900 Tennessee volunteers
now in service These troops with the excep-
ton of the Tennessee company, whichproceed-
ed by land, will be transported down the Chat
tahoochee, and thence, in Steamboats,, which
steps have been taken to have at Appalachico-
la by the 25th instant, to Fort Brooke, Tampa
Bay.
The Indian warriors engaged by Gen. Jes-
sup confidently predict that there will be no
fighting. They say that the Seminoles will
surrender as did their people, when they see
arrayed against them those who know how to
fight them, and from whom, instead of opposi-
tion, they have all along expected conte-
nance and cooperation. It is to be hoped
these predictions will be verified. For two
months to come, noyious damps and unwhole-
some vapors viii brood over the swamps and
everglades of Florida, more deadly than the
Indian rifle. Under such circumstances, one
may well wish that a speedy termination may
be put to the Indian difficulties in that quarter
and the brave fellows who have been sent on
the arduous service be permitted to return to
their firesides and their friends.

Bills of Erchange.--An Act has just
passed the British Parliament, which settles
IA disputed point in regard to bills Of cx-
change in that couutry, and which ought,
therefore, to be known TO men of business
generally. The point alluded to is that res
pecting acccptors or referees for honor in
which no uiform practice existed, some
houses presenting the bills so marked on
the day when they became due, and others
the day after. 1t is declared, however, that
it shall not be necessary to present such bills
of fexchangc until the day following that on
which they become due, and ifthe address
of the acceptors or referees for honor should
be in any other place than that in which the
bills shall be nude payable, they need not

Gen. Hqrrison.--Wc have seen several
gentlemen who have lately had the pleasure
of personal intercourse with General Har-
rison u, the Virginia Springs and elsewhere.
They concur in representing him to be a
plun republican in his manners, an affable
gentleman in his department, and an intelli-
gent, well informed and liberal statesman.
In his conversation he is open, candid and
free, bu, dccorous and dignfied-never re-
icrring but in tones Of respect to the PreSi-
dent OF the L. States and his competitors
for the office to which he has been nomina-
ted by a portion ofthe people. All are pleas
cd with him who spend an hour in his com.
pany, and many Of his liberal opponents
who have had this opportunity, have not
hesitatcd to express their conviction of his
worth, honesty and talents, and to acknowi-
edge that he would make, no doubt, an eX-
ccllent republican Chief Magistrate. The
more that Gen. Iiarrison is seen the more
he is liked. and the farther his services and
qualifications are inquired into, the greater
tavorite will lie become with the citizens OF

The establishment of an express mail be-
tween New York and New Orleans by the
way of w Washington, which is i'll contemplation,
seems to us to be liable to serious objection.
As the Post Office Department was created
for the benefit OF the entire community and not
for any particular portion, it would seem w-
Just to make discrimination, In the transpor-
tation of letters, between the wealthy and per-
sons not in affiuent circumstances. The I'M
position of triple postage will operate Serious
ly to the disadvantage Of those possessed OF
only limited means-men beginning lite, who
cannot submit to extra expense-Whlst large
operators, men of capital, will be enabled tore
ceive their information in advance OF the regu-
lar mail by paying what to them is an amount
not worthy reconsideration.
The reasoning ofthe above paragraph from
the Baltimore American would apply as well
to all mail accommodation as to the express
mails. Let then the mails be discontinued al
together because they give an advantage to
the man able to pay postage over him who is
not. All expense in support ola navy for the de-
fence of commerce is also wrong because it is
only for the benefit of the merchant who has
wealth or credit enough to engage in foreign
trade. The expense Of keeping up public roads
ought also to be dispensed with because these
roads are of greater advantage to the man
who can afford to travel in his carriage, or
who sends the produce of his farm to market
in his wagon or cart than to him whose pow
erty compels him to dispense with these con-
veniences; and indeed all expense Of govern
ment, and all government itself ought to be
discontinued, because the benefits cannot be
equally distributed among al members of the
community.

Lynching and Bloo7shd in Nenr Orleans.-
4 man named Giqual was bailed by Judge
Burmudes of this city under charge of having
been guilty of murder. This act ofthe Judge
caused no small dissatisfaction. Whereupon
a sort ofpublic meeting was held at which it
was determined to infict some punishment upon
either the murderer or the Judge. Immedi-
diately after the adjournment of the meeting
about dozen made arrangements for execu-
ting its decree upon the murderer, but finding
that he had left the ci y they directed their steps
to the house of the Judge. Only three ofthem
however ventured to approach the door, said to
be unarmed except with dirks. One of them
knocked at the door andthe Judge himselfopen-
ed it. Upon which the assailant collared him
and after scuffle received mortal wound
from a sword which the Judge got hold Of
Another of the assaiants at the same time en-
tered the more private part of the house and
being shot by young gentleman who was
present retired to the street door where he and
the other man wounded felldeadtogether. The
third assailant encountering the wife of the
Judge some where in the house, she seized a
gun and shot him. He then ran out and
finding his two companions dead, he called to
their associates for help telling them what had
happened but they like brave mobites took to
their heels. He has since died

Valuable discovery. Remedy tor tainted honor.
1t has lately been discovered at Washington
that the fumes Of inhamed gunpowder are
alone an effectual remedy for this painful affec-
ton. Last winter five or six applications were
deemed necessary, but one is now found to be
sufficient. We learn from our exchange pa
pers that Mr. Wickham and Mr.. Chap
man, while on late visit to the Federal
city," finding some purifier Of fhonor necessary,
retired into the woods to make trial Of the
new remedy and, to their great JOY, found it
succeed to admiration. DR.. cambridge and
Commodore Biddle who accompanied the par
ties to dose ont the powder, would permit but
a single application, certifying that this had
effected "perfect cure" The old notion
that the virtue lay in the lead which is used to
compress the powder has been exploded.
So the remedy may be used without danger.
1t is still put into pistol barrels for ignition.
But some less noisy mode may perhaps be
found to answer as well.

MARYLAND-ThisS State chooses electors by
the people and these electors choose all the
Senators for the State Legislature. At the
late election 81 Wing electors we're chosen and
19 favorable to Mr.. Van Buren,. The const-
tuition requires that before proceeding to the
election there shall be present "a of the
whole 40 electors but the 10 Van Buren, elec-
tors having had a meeting at Annapolis, the
seat Of Government, unanimously determined
not to attend the meeting of the electoral col
lege, and thus prevent the election of Senate
altogether. Sothere can be no Legislature
this fall, and no electors OF President and Vice
President can be chosen. The following let
ter contains the last information which we have
received on the subject.
ANNAPOLIS, SEPT %, 1896.
Thursday II A. N.
You have no doubt received my letters con-
tanning the intelligence that the nineteen Van
Buren, electors had deserted their post. / have
only now to add, in addition to what said be-
fore, that the Wing electors will remain at their
post ready to discharge their duty, and will
meet every day and continue to adjourn until
the constitutional number of electors are pres
ent, and they nerer uiH kare their posi-, until the
Senate are elected, or their popers under the Con-
Stimion cease.
1t has been proposed that the twenty-one
electors remove to the Government house,
where beds will be provided for them; and
those who have families send for them. This
will no doubt be carried into effect.
The excuse offered for this factious movement
of the Van Buren, electors is that the consti-
tuition of the State operates uneqauy in allow
ING an undue representation to the small coun-
ties. And they have taken the ground that
inasmuch as this unfair representation in the
Legislature prevents it from passing law for
calling convention to amend the constitution,
it is their duty violently to break up the
government by preventing the election Of a
Senate; and thus they will compel the State
to organize new government. Such conduct
is characteristic of the party to which they be-
long, from the head down to the foot. If they
wish to accomplish an object they do not sut-
fer themselves to be restrained by any consti-
tutional or legal trammels.
Extraordinary excitement prevails on the
subject throughout the State. Large and most
respectable meetings have been held in Balti-
more and other towns on the subject.
