NO TROUBLE IN TEXAS.
A Brownsville letter of the Sth inst. says,
with the appearance of the troops here conf
dence returns to all loyal Americans and the
Mexican authorities and people. Tie ADAM
doned houses, which include nearly all in the
town, are occupied; the country for hundreds
OF miles back and above Roma, and about
two hundred miles up the Silver river, is Wis
tied by our scouts, and rebel property, wher-
ever found, taken into our possession. Col.
Davis Of the LIST Texas cavalry returned from
up the river two days since. A large number
OF mules, horses and beeves returned with
them, having entered the United States SER
vice at various ranches on the route. These
animals came in laden with forage for future
usefulness. A large lot of cloth of sgnif-
cant gray color, and also considerable cotton,
were taken.
THE CoLORED REGIMENTS REFUSE THEIR PAY
The colored regiments from Massachusetts
have refused to receive the partial pay prof

dollars per month, subject to a deduction of
three dollars per month for clothing. Major
Sturgis, recently appointed by Gov. Andrew
OF Massachusetts, to visit them and induce
them to accept from the state of Massachusetts
three dollars per month, to equaliZe their pay
with that of white troops, refuse to give up
their point, by accepting the money. They
claim that they were enlisted as soldiers,
and that the pay of soldiers is thirteen dollars
per month that they are not "laborers in the

HE PENSION AGENCT.-We copy from a
letter to the Springfield Republican a sharp
criticism upon the management of the pension
agency office, in Boston. Complaints of in
efficiency and vexatious delay at the same
agency have come to our own knowledge. A
prominent and influential citizen of this coun-
~, who had occasion to obtain simple PEN
sion granted to a wounded son, writes that he
not only had to make repeated application be-
fore his papers were acceptable, but that there
was subsequent delay Of several weeks be-
fore payment was made-the applicant being
compelled in the meantime to employ an
agent in Boston, to attend to it. In this in
stance the delay did not occasion serious
results. But it is easy to see, how, in
the case of widows, wives, and needy rela-
tives of soldiers entitled to pensions, and of
homeless soldiers themselves, it would cause
incalculable anxiety and distress. Speaking
from his own knowledge, our informant says
he was impressed with the great wrong that
was done to them, and with the necessity of
some relief. Whether there is a wilful want
of efficiency and promptness on lie part of
the officer, he does not say; but there is a
cruel want, which ought to be speedily reme-

DEonmsER es, 1868.


The foreign news by the steamer Aria an
nounces the first act of war between Denmark
and the refractory duchies OF Schleswig and
Holstein. The reigning king of Denmark,
Christian TX, claims full sovereignty over
the duchies, as Frederick VII. had it before
him, and all the Danish kings as far back as
the fifteenth century. Prince Frederick of
Augustenberg contests the claim, and is sus-
tanned by the duchies as their legitimate ruler.
The ''grest powers" have taken stock in this
threatened war, as they have in most of the
quarrels OF Europe during the last half dozen
centuries. The federal diet of Germany, to
which the duchies elect belong, has voted
to sustain the claim of Prince Frederick, and
has ordered the occupation of the disputed
territory by federal troops. The king Of Dem
mark has announced his purpose to resist the
'invasiOn," and the Danish parliament has
ordered the army and navy to be placed on
war footing without delay. So that this long
standing quarrel now bids fair to be settled by
the sword. Denmark has the sympathy of
England, France, and Russia; while Austria,
L luSSld anu hSdIly llc NliulS 0SElHdH people
side valiantly with the duchies. Holstein is
small duchy, north of Hanover and Meek
lenberg, inc Germany, in territory about half
the size of Massachusetts, with a population
OF about half million people. 1t first be-
came dependency of Denmark is 1859; but
revolted with the duchy of Schleswig in lS4S,
for the purpose of joining the new German
empire. The inhabitants are mostly German
in their language, tastes, and predictions.
Schleswig is larger in territory, but smaller
in population, than its neghbor Holstein, with
which it is generally united ~ hyphen,
like the Siamese twins Their great advan-
tages are the possession of seaports on the
Baltic and North seas, and their railroad con-
nections with Hamburg and the principal cities
Of central Europe. The following incidents
indicate something of the feeling of the peo-
pie of the ducbies =
