How TO END THE WAR.-The New
York Herald's Yorktown correspondent
relates the following:
A good joke occurred about Congress-
men this afternoon. A Michigan Colonel
was in command of the guard. Citizens
were prohibited admittance. Several came
up and asked the corporal to pass them,
saying that they were Congressman. The
corporal stated the fact to the Colonel.
"They are Congressman, are they :"
asked the Colonel.
$50 they say"
"Well, let them pass and go where they
please said the Colonel. Let them
tramp on tOrpedoes, go into the magazines,
and where there is any prospect of their be-
ing blown to the devil, for that is the
quickest way to end the war.

is the answer of Missouri, slave State,

Refugees from Texas.

On the 9th ult seventy-three Texans
arrived in New Orleans in schooner from
Matamoras The Delta says:
They have thrilling accounts of the man
ner of their escape from the clutches of the
Secessionists, and their sufferings during
long and dreary marches through desert
and wilderness, and in an unfriendly coun-
try, ere they reached the hospitahle city of
Matamoras, where they were protected and
kindly cared for by the American Consul. -
One of them, a very intelligent young man.
in the full costume of a Mexican ranchero,
and tall as mainmast, told us that he left
E Paso last August, and had travelled 800
miles by land, swimming many rivers and
going for days without food. They all ap.
are, and brave and hardy, and we must add,
though not dressed with much taste or ele-
gance. the picturesqueness of their various
costumes made up for the lack of those un
essentials.
We inquired if they were all Union men.
They replied, it would be a hard matter for
anything else but Union man to live in
that crowd They had remained firm to the
/ Union through evil aud good report, and
because they refused to turn Secessionists
they had been forced to steal away from
their homes leaving their families and
property behind. To have remained would
have been certain death, as all who differed
in opinion-even though they did not ex-
press that opinion--with the present rulers
in Texas, were strung up to the first tree. -
They had come here to join the armies of
the Union, in hopes of being able to return
to Texas, and fight for the recovery Of their
rights, their property, and their homes, of
which they had been despoiled, land when
we meet our spoilers in action, we will show
them no mercy, as they have never showed
any to us, they said.
They stated that thousands are hocking
from all parts of Texas to the friendly shores
of Mexico, and the Mexican towns all along
the banks of the Rio Grandc are full OF
refugees. There were 600 in Ma.amoras
alone, awaiting transportation to this city,
but all the means TO transport them that
the Consul could command was one small
schooner, which barely sufficed to bring
these seventy three over, while the balance
had TO remain and be provided for as best
the Consul could, until means of transporta.
ton can be furnished.
During the afternoon, these men were
provided for by the authorities, and remov-
ed from the levee and the vulgar gaze oi
the curious to more comfortable quarters -
We noticed that nearly every one of them
brought his ''old Betsey' along with him
we don't mean his wife, but his gun.
We extend to these worn and sorrowine
I exies from country, from home and house
hold gods, cordial welcome to the Crescent
City; and may they soon be ranked among
their country's defenders.

Use of official reports

1t will be seen that we have 236 men sick
besides the wounded, and that we have
only 479 officers and men present for duty.
This fearful reduction of the effective force
of the Regiment is attributed to the very
heavy duty performed by it since it was
mustered into the service, and the miserable
water we have been compelled to use in our
marches through this State. ........
Neorly all of the absent sick were left in
Louisville after our forced march from the
Kentucky River, via Lexington and Frank
lin, to which has since been added the fear
ful list Of wounded, and the present sick,
making the number sick present and absent,
and wounded, foot up 343--nearly equal to
the number for duty.
With proper management and little
rest, the regiment will improve in number
for duty, as many Of the sick will soon be
well enough for duty. All regiments run
down during the first three or four months,
after which they usually improve.
There have been number of Belmont
County folks here during the past week
looking . fia- thAir lIlsd, wounded and sink
friends, and taking them home. This is
very encouraging to the soldier, for, the
next thing in point of interest to him, if he
cannot get home. is to see some one from
home. We shall likely be on post duty all
winter in this State, and We should like very
much to have our friends visit us.
