"Perhaps one-half Of the present popnla-
ton of the Territory now live atheists, while
the remainder boast . religion m re hideous
than that of the idolatrous and barbarous
heather, and yet no effort is made to effect
a change. Thousands of dollars are spent
annually in sending missionaries beyond the
seas to people of different races, tongues, and
nations, while here, right in the midst of our
own land, is . people Of our own race, who
speak our own tongue, entirely cut off from
the enjoyments Of the Christian religion,
because Of the want of teachers and guides.

A Coon SHOWING FOR A TEXAS 0FFIcER-We learn
by an official letter from Washington city, that Maj
Ben McCulloch. late Marshall of this District, has
had final settlement with the Government, and has
been allowed S20i6.21 as the balance due him, this
being Sl806 more than the amount claimed by him.
This difference in accoun is may be considered pretty
close considering the amount disbursed by him on
account of the Government during the past seven
years of his official duties has been about Sl6OO0O
In addition to this, the various collections made by
him, under executions and judgments, must have
amounted to 100000, or perhaps S5OO,OOO; every
dollar of which has been promptly paid over to the
proper party OF properly accounted for to the salts
faction of all parties concerned. We have learned
from other sources that Maj. McCuoch has conduct
ed the business of his Office to the entire satis-
faction of the Departments than almost any Marshal
of the Union.

days that the gallant Major has acquitted himself =

"There are but three powers in Europe which

The THREE DYNAsrIEs OF FRANcE,-The three
dynasties of France-the Bonaparte, the Bour-
bon, and the Orleanist-occupy curious positions
in the present war. The reigning head of the
Bonaparte family is the leader of the allied arm
les of France and Sardinia, and is on the eve of
taking the field against Austria. The head of
the Bourbon branch, Count de Chambord, who
has resided in Austria for the last twenty years.
has abandoned the protection which that country
afforded him in exile, and retired to Holland, re-
tusing to remain under the flag of q nation at
war with his beloved France; and the Orleanist
branch in the person of the young Duke de
Chartres, on the declaration of war joined the
army of Sardinia and the cause of Italian inde-
pendence consenting to fight in the ranks where
OF the occupant of the throne of France is the ac
knowledged leader. But the elder branches of
the Orleans family, being opposed to the course
of the young Duke, who, following the example
pie of his ancestors-Philip Egalite and Louis
Phillippe-is anxious to fight on the side of the
republicans, have recalled him to London from
his position as Lieutenant in Victor Emanuel's
army.-APpedL
