sition as monstrous and referring the present era
as the reign of Abraham /. He averred that his

undying vigor the crime of secession. Ii was
evident that this policy was only for that design
TO perpetuate the party power of the admistra-

TO ibcrate thousands of starving and dying white
men for the sake of few negroes.

BosToN, December IA New Orleans cor
respondent of the Traveller writes:
The expedition of Gen. Banks to Texas is a
glorious success. The Union men are rallying
under the standard of Gen Banks in large num-
bers. All the Texans required was force to
back them up, and they have repeatedly said that
If asuffcient army was sent to support them they
would soon have Texas all right again. They
have already proved the truth of their statement,
for Banks has recruited two regiments since he
reached the State, and the work is still going
ahead.
The Maiden Bank was entered shortly before
noon to-day. A son of the President was the
only person ia the bank ut the time. ard he was
murdered. The Bank was robbed Of about all its
contents
