Dallas herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1849-1873, 1861-04-10

pely" We have received the following COM
munication from an old and highly esteem
cd friend in Tnrrant County, with the re-
quest to publish the accompanying letter.
Correspondence Of the Herald.
TARRANT Co., Ten, Mar. IS 1861.
Or. c. II. Pyyor-Dear tSr;-Mr.
Huff and others knowing that your
paper has an extensive circulation
at Fort Worth and in Tarrant coun-
ty, where Mr.. Bcwly was hung.
have requested me to send you the
accompanying letter, soliciting its
publicatin; so that the citizens Of
Fort Worth and the surrounding vi
cinity may learn what interest is
yet manifested by Mr.. Bewly's aid
crs and abctters at the North. We
sag let them come on. The writer in
visiting the South, seems to have
imbibed some of her spirit, when
he says that the "North can't whip,
run, scare or conquer the South. y
That is what we in this uninlight-
cned portion Of Texas say; and
when we drink-which by the way
we do as often as we can get at it,
we always drink to that toast.
Every body is on tiptoc for the
first sight of news from lLeadquar
tcrs, expecting to hear of blood and
thunder; but you may rest assured
that we are as ready to receive it,
as the most vindictive may be to
assume the order. There has been
and may yet be a few amongst us
who have and are yet crying for
timc,-who say wait until some
thing is done to justify secession
but large ma ority say "now is the
day" and that representation is
the thief of time"
Mr.. VERNON, JEFFERSON co. LII,
January 18th 1861.
M. Huf-Dear Sir After my
respects to you and family / have
to say that / reached home on the
Sd day of November, the day before
the election, and found all we'll and
getting along right. | did not re-
gret my trip to your country,
though it was useless as / never
heard anything more from Garri
son; but | was so well pleased with
your country that | intend to move
to Texas so soon as | can sell my
land and effects here and get there.
The political and Presidential
strife still runs high, and what it
will end in | do not know, but one
thing l do know, that is, that the
North cant whip, ruin, scare or conquer
the South.
The general opinion here is, that
we will have a polite invitation to
fall into ranks as volunteers to 60
down and settle the difficulty by
telling the South that they must
yield to Lincoln, and if they will
not-that we are sent from head
quarters to thrash them. But we
will not volunteer, then they will
draft us to fight the South-we will
disobcy the draft, then they will re-
port us to the Governor and it is
his duty to send a military force and
compel us to go; but while they arc
getting ready, we will prepare our
selves to meet them and fight it out
at home. We are going to appoint
Vigilance Committees and make the
LincolniteS leave Southern Illinois,
that we may have. clean spot to
fight on. We have company Of
ninety-six volunteers, at Mt. Yer
non drilling and preparing to meet
the Blacklcgs on the half way
ground, and at every corner we in
tend to give them Hail Columbia"
While we are drilling the negro
stealers look rather sad, their under
lips from one to three inches long.
Some of our Northern men say
that the hanging of friend Bewly
was a wilful and corrupt murder Of
the first degree, and they will have
revenge for it. / told them they
could C. IL by going TO FOr' Worth
