| Roacdyism and Outragc-Our usually
quiet and peaceable little city, was on
Sunday afternoon and evening last, the
scene of species of rowdyism which
would almost put in the shade the dis
graceful exploits of the licensed and
hired ruflians of New Orleans, about
the period at which Known othingism
gained the ascendancy in that degraded
city, by similar means.
And who are we to thank for this last
exhibition of brutality and violation of
all law? Are we not to attribute the
most base and most unmanly actions
committed on Sunday evening last to
the police officers or ex police of New
Orleans, under late Know-N NOTHING
Mayor. It will not be denied that
our city has, on a previous occasion,
suffered outrage and even murder to
be perpetrated by scoundrels, whose
highest recommendation to preferment
in New Orleans was their outrageous
and unlawful conduct elsewhere. Need
we speak in terms moro plain.
AS it was in 1858, so it is at this date:
many persons who were witnesses to
the villainous outrageous perpetrated
upon the most quiet and inoffensive
citizens are unwilling to come forward
and state facts in court of Justice.
through fear or some less creditable
motive, and thus permit the most noto-
rious individuals engaged in those out
RACES to escape the vengeance of the
laws of their country.
We learn that attidavits have been |
made before Justice Hamper, and that
wore issued on Monday against
two of the principals in tho business of
brass-knucklng and slung-
'hotting in this city, on Sunday evening
asst. We have not heard of AN arrest
Iet.

A Direct Road to New Orleans.

The mere opening of continuous
and direct thoroughfare from the upper
line of New Orleans to the lower line OF
this corporation, is of far more impor-
lance to the public generally, than many
Of this community, will comprehend at
a first glance, or are disposed to admit.
Many persons assert that the bare
opening of any such road by the con-
stituted authorities upon whom that duty
devolves, would further no desirable or
beneficial object required by the bulk of
the inhabitants and property owners
resident within the district through
which such direct thoroughfare might
pass. Can such an assertion be sus-
tanned Does not experience satisfac-
torily establish the contrary, in numer-
Gus instances?
The benefits which the citizens of
this city would derive in few years,
from the opening of either Apollo or
Magazine streets on a continuous and
direct line to connect with one of our
streets at the lower line of our corpo-
ration, cannot be estimated at this time.
1t is not unreasonable to predict, that
at least one of the city railroads now
under construction in New Orleans
would reach this point at no distrust
date.
The opening of either or both the
above mentioned streets must be a sub
ject of vast interest to all who feel de-
sirous for the advancement and welfare
of this city; and at the same time have
a desire to rid themselves of depen-
dence solely upon a line of travel, the |
principal management of which has for
years back favored measures of the |
most arbitrary nature toward the largest
of the railroad in this city,
vs. well as, to injure and retard the bu-
mess of many, mainly dependent upon
he manner and the hours of running the
rains, for their principal support. We
ave little hope, however, of improve
aent under the present head of that
oncern.

Texas Items.

Drought, Feather and Crops-The
great complaint of the Texas. press is
still the want of rain. With few excep-
tons, North and West, the planters
begin to fear serious loss of crops.
We clip few items to show the actual
condition of things. The Jefferson
Gazette, of the 9TH. says: -
Never before has this portion of
Texas suffered so much from want of
rain. Below us there is no corn at all,
and many families must necessarily
suffer. On Upper Red River, we learn
that the crops are good, better than they
have been for years. Many farmers in
this county will raise enough corn to do
them, but there will be none for sale.
Cotton continues to look well, and if we
can get rain during the coming week,
there will be better crops raised than
were made last year.
DIR. Calvin Williams, of Walnut Hill.
has thrown up the mail contract on the
bisweekly mail from Shelbyville to
Henderson, meeting the Tyler mail at
the latter place. Food and horse feed
were too difficult to obtain.
The Shelbyville Echo, of the, 9TH,
says:
A meeting is to be held to-day at
White Cottage, and another at Buena
Vista, iR this county, to memorial the
Governor to convene a called session of
the Legislature, to devise some ways
and means of meeting present exigen-
cies, importing food, etc. We are told |
that similar meetings are being held in |
some of the adjoining counties.
t The occasion for an extra session, of |
the Legislature is very urgent.
No rain has fallen here since We'd.
nesday week; the uplands,..are lost,
irretrievably lost, so far as corr is con-

much danger, too.
