The following well authenticated and clearly
proved document was sent to the Editors of the
New Orleans Delta, from Texas, by gentleman
from New Orleans, who assures the Editors of the
Delta, that there cannot be particle of doubt as
to its genuineness.
1t IS startling and fendish document, which is
quite worthy of the perusal of those creduous,
easy-going citizens who have no anxieties about
the South-no fear Of any real design to interfere
with our institutions by Northern emissaries
From the following, which we find in the "Fort
Smith Herald we are pleased to learn that the
| writer of the document below has been caught:
"On Sunday last, Rev. W. H. Bailey arrived
here in the Overland, under charge of Mr. John

Brown school, and has been engaged in the burn

of So, 900 had been offered for his delivery at Fort

The only good they will do us will be to destroy
towns, mills, &c, which is only hope IN Texas
at present. If we can break Southern merchants
and mllers, and have their places filled with hon

only do our duty. All we want, for the time, is
the control of trade Trade, assisted by preach
ing and teaching, will soon control public opinion
