 The public generally are aware of the recent burning of towns, residences, barns, stables &c., and the poisoning of wells and springs in Texas. Negroes have been arrested with quantities of strychnine in IheT possession and the we'll arranged plans 10 destroy neighborhoods by poison have been foiled. The people have rais- ed In their majesty-Vigilance Commit tees have hung white men and negroes ndiscriminalely wherever the evidence of their guilt was fastened upon them. As an inkling of the preconcerted plans of the Aboliionists, we publish the following which has been furnished us by c. w. Johnson, Esq, who has just returned from Texas.

 DENTON CREEK, July 3, 1860.
 DEAR SIR "A painful abscess on my right thumb is my apology for not writing at An derson. Our glorious cause is progressing finely. as far South as Brenham there part ed with Bro. Wempler; he went still further south; he will do good wherever he goes. travelled up through the frontier counties, part of the time under fictitious narne found many friends who had been initiated and understand the Mystic Red. I met with a good number of our friends near George town; we held consultation, and were unan- inously of opinion that we should be cautious of our new associates; most of them are des- perate characters, and may betray us, as there are shareholders among them, and value poor negro much higher than a horse The only good they will do us will be destroying towns, mills etc., which is our only hope in Texas at present. If we can break Southern merchants and millers, and have their places filled by honest Republicans, Texas will be an easy prey, if we only do our duty. All wanted for the time being, is control of trade. Trade, assisted by preaching and teaching, will soon control public opinion, Public opinion is mighty, and will prevail. Lincoln will cer- tainly be elected; we will then have the Indian Nation, cost what it will. Squatter sovereign ty will prevail there as it has in Kansas; that accomplished, we have at least one more step to take-but one more struggle to make-that is, free Texas. We will then have connect ed link from the Lakes to the Gulf. Slavery will then be surrounded by land and by water, and soon sting itself to death. I repeat, Texas we must have, and our only chance is to break up the present inhabitants, in whatever way we can, and it must be done. Some of us will most assuredly suffer in accomplishing our ob- iect, but our Heavenly Father will reward us for assisting him in plotting out the greatest curse on earth. It would be impossible for us to do an act that is as biasphemous in the sight of God as holding slaves We must have frequent consultations with our colored friends. Let your meetings be in the night Impress upon their clouded ntellects the bless ings of freedom, induce all to leave you can; our arrangements for their accommodation to go North are better than they have been, but not as good as 1 would like. We need more agents, both local and travelling, 1 will send out travelling agents when get home. You must appoint local agent in every neighbor- hood in your district. I will recommend a few think will do to rely upon, viz: Bros Leaze, Wood, Ives, Evans, Mir. Daniel Vierv Cole, Nugent, Shaw, White, Clifford, Ashley, Drake, Meeks, Shultz and Newman Brother LeaIe, the bearer of this, will take circuit our route, and see as many of our colored friends as he can; he also recommends diff ferent material to be used about town, etc., Our friends sent very inferior article: they emit too much smoke, and do not contain enough camphene, They are calculated to get some of our friends hurt. will send sup ply when l get home. l will have to reproye you and your co-workers for your negligence in sending funds for our agents; but few have been compensated for their trouble. Our faithful correspondent and industrious agent, Bro. Webber, has received but tri1e-not so much as apprentices wages, neither have Bro. Wilet, Mangun and others. You must call upon our colored friends for more money; they must not expect us to do al they cer- tainly will give every cent, if they knew how soon their shackles will be broken. My hand is very painful, and close.
 Yours truly, w. H. BAILEY,
 N B.-Brother Lealle will give you what few numbers of ''Impendng Crisis'' have also Bro. Summers speech and Bro. Beecher's letter, etc. Farewell.
