NEWS AND VIEWS From WESTERN
TEXAS.

We are in receipt Of long letter from
Western Texas, discussing variety of topics,
actual aud suggestive, which we will not pub
lsb, but giYqsextracts from, and briefly note
upon besides. 1t ailrms the existence OF many
Union men there who are utterly oyerawed
by the savage terrorism Of the Rebels; and
states that on the tenth Of August party Of
sixty five Germans and three Americans were
trying to reach Mexico. when their night camp
was attacked and thirtY-three of them killed;
aud the wounded were hung up or otherwise
savagely put to death. 1t mentions also that
the protests of foreigners for protection are
despised in those wild regions, and particularly
calls the attention Of Government to the fact
To read TIE TRIBUNE in that quarter is
death.
We do not hear that there is any central
Confederate disapproyal of these savage acts:
on the contrary, "the one and indivsible"
Rebel territory accepts murders, scalpings,
burnDgs, hanglDgs, all as evidences Of loyalty.
Our correspondent dilatcs upon the whole
system Of terrorism of the South; and finds
only hope for the future in q system Of

DE LHUYs-RUssELL.

The dispatches of the Foreign Secretary re-
spectiyey Of France and England with regard
TO our Civil War are carefully and cautiously
phrased, and are Of course written with abil-
ity. We do neither wish nor expect that our
Government should regard them as dictatoral
or decidedly offensive. We propose only Ia
test some of their assumptions by the ordeal
of indisputable facts.
81. dc Lhuys's proposal to interfere be-
tween the United States and the Confederate
Rebels assumes that we haye made no progress
toward the overthrow Of the Rebellion. Here
are his words:
From the commencement Of the armed force
by the beserents which since then has almst
constantly been kept up After much bOocshed they
new, In that respect nearly In the same position"
is this the fact Let US consider:
The Southern Confederacy claims to be com.
posed of the fifteen Slave States Delaware
and Maryland excepted. 1t processes also to
include the Indian Territory, New-Me4ico and
Arizona. 1t claims to have the thorough sym
patty of majority of the People of ryland,
who intensely desire to be CELEBRATED" by it.
That it has been largely, though clandestinely
aided, both in men and means, from Maryland,
is notorious. That the Democratic Legislature
of that State, with the ike.minded NUM-
cipality of Baltimore, were warmly in SYM
patty with the Confederates in the outset of
their struggle, and that the contrary is now
the fact, is most certain. Let us-for the end
Of the year approaches-take q hurried ac-
count of stock. and see just where wo stand:
/. The Confederates, though they recently
invaded Maryland in force, and have made
petty raids into Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
&C., do not hold at this hour single foot Of
territory outside Of what they claim as their
own, nor do they seriously threaten to acquire
any.
Ii. After having for months desperately con.
tested the great State of Missouri, fought
many important battles tberein-sOme of them
successfuly--they have been driven out of it,
so that only two or three guerrilla bands OF no
Importance now Turk in its swamps or forests
and occasionally steal out to commit depreda-
tions.
Ill. Kentucky has in like manner been in
good part under Rebel domination not only
last Winter but again two months ago. Now
they are wholly expelled from it. aud likely to
remain so.
~. Tennessee is ono Of the States most i'm.
portant to the Shareholders COnfederacy.
Half of it, including the two most important
cites, Nashville and Memphis, have been held
for the Union throughout the last six months,
and we are On the point of trying to reclaim
the residue.

longing to JeiT.'s Conseieracy, and includes his

THE NEW SESSION.

The XXXVIIth Congress cOnvenes on
Monday, Dec. /, for its Third Session, which
will terminate with its legal existence on the
night of Saturday, March q The Session will
thus be confined to thirteen weeks, during
which it is very probable that the fate Of
the Cd of March next, no further consider
able progress shall have been made toward the
overthrow of the Shareholders Rebellion, it is
morally certain that financial difficulties at home
and the thinly disguised i'll will of certain Eu-
ropean Courts will conspre- to discourage if
not obstruct prosecution of the contest. We
do not assume herein any special foresight with
regard to the future. We only see that the
Winter, because of the relative healthfulness OF
their climate at that season, aud tho far more
extensive pavgability of their rivers, is by far
the best if not the only time for successful
operations against the Rebels in the Cotton
States; so that, if nothing should be done
by the LIST of March next, faction and de-
spondency together would largely and maev-
olenty influence the loyal mind Of the country
in favor of some form of surrender Of the
test will be terminated by the LIST of March;
we do insist that it must have made decided
progress meantime or the Union will be lost.
For good or for evil, the next ninety days
come freighted with our country's destiny.
We trust, therefore, that Congress will pro-
coed forthwith to an earnest and energetic
consideration of the needs of the National
cause, especially in the Department of Finances.
We would pass no bill making provision for
the service of the next fiscal year till near
the close of the session, while we would have
provision made for the immediate wants of the
Government within the first week if possible
at all events, within the first fortnight. Let
Congress set an example Of that promptitude,
that vigor, which it is disposed to exact of the
Executive and the Army. Let it decide in
what manner the needed sums can be raised
with the least sacrifice and loss, and, having
decided, let it determnedly act This is no
time for long speeches, still less for long de.
lays. Congress is called to set an example OF
energetic promptitude and decision which shall
electrify at once the Army and the Nation.
We await with deep interest the suggestions
of the President and the Secretary of the
Treasury as to the best means of raising the
needed funds-we mean those needed imme-
diately. Our own impression fayors con-
siderable further issue of 7.30s, as these may
be converted into five if not a four per cent.
stock soon after the close of the War; We
consider this preferable to further Issue Of
Skies having twenty years to run. Then we
believe restriction Of the issues of Bank
notes under State authority all but indispensable.
If the Bank circulation now anoat could be
called in at the rate Of One Million per day,
its place might be filed by Greenbacks with
out further depreciation. Aud these, with
energy and victory in the field, ought to pro-
vide for the Governments pressing wants with.
out further difficulty or intolerabe sacrifice.

The Office Of Controller Of this city ia one

A correspondent desires us to state that the
Germans are very much dissatisfied with the
manner in which their claims have been ig.
nOrcd by Tammany and Mozart Halls, in the
nominations for the ensuing Charter Election.
They say that the Irish element is in the as
tendency in the Democratic party OF this city.
We confess, however, that we cannot see 1t IN
this light. If the Irishmen of New-York had
had voice in the nominations, We are quite
sure that the strong claims Of Richard O'Gor'
man would not have been so easily Ignored.

SOUTHERN CLAIMS TO ENGLISH
sYMpATIKY.

Years ago, when the text Of Punch was read,
not tolerated for the sake of its illustrations,
tsere appeared among tho latter large cut by
Richard Doyle, entitled, if We remember
Alright, 1.-The Smartest Nation in all Crea-
ton" 1t represented yillanous-faced Yankee
loDns in a rocking-chair, slaye-whip and re-
yolyer beld carelessly in each hand, the long,
uncsinly lsgs sprawling over fallen bust OF
Washington, while in the upward-curllng smoke
of the cigar inserted 10 the evil mouth were
delinea.ed sundry little yignettes Illustrative Of
our assumed national characteristics. Therein
one saw slave-whippings and haDgings, ducls
with muskets and bowie-kniyes, Lynch law,
fillibusterism and reputation, and similar
agreeable subjects, all Of them presenting a
tolerably comprehensive picture Of the Euro
pean estimate of the ugly side of American
L" institutions" AS Punch now, in his national
capacity Of puppet, is doing bis worst aud
meanest to incte hatred and contempt, not Of
the American body polite, but of that half Of
it still faithful TO its Government and laws, we
would commend to the British public and to
Europe, the following proposition:
That all or nearly all of American charac-
teristics. legislation, aud proclivities, repro
bated in the eyes of the world are intrinsically
Soutbern-kppertaining to or originating in the
rebeous section Of our nationality; for the
success of which British sympathies are now
so perversely enlisted. Without expecting to
do more than merely suggest some of these,
we shall put them on record as appropriate
subjects for British contemplation.
First, as to characteristics. The popular
pictorial representation Of American nationality
in Europe is a tall, thin, long-haired man, OF
cadayerous cOuntenancc with cunning deep-set
eyes, and strongly marked features,
"a good deal like a vulture ia tho faces"
attred in an objectionable suit of clothes, in.

baccO increasingly, to eIpectOrate luently, TO
ignore social decencies AMI prophecies, to be
prone to use the murderous weapons which he
habitualy carries upon small provocation--to
be. in short, vulgar, brutal, violent aud aggres-
si,e. Where was this ideal studied from Is
