Kidnapping---HOW the Business Il
Carried On.

While we were absent attending the
great Union Mass Meeting at the Capt.
toll, letter was mailed to US by gentle
mau who was a passenger on the Grey
Eagle at the time the outrage, of which
we spoke last Wednesday, was commit
ted. The letter is dated Greensboro,
February %, 1868" and is written by a
gentleman who walked twelve miles last
October in order to deposit vote for
Judge Law and the whole Democratic
ticket We believe him when he says he
writes "to see simple justice done"
We copy the letter as it is written, only
withholding for the present, the name of
the writer.

The Invasion Of Texas.

Has assumed such proportions that the peo-

the magnitude of the conflict that is upon
them. The Houston Telegraph" says we

columns of invasion, viz:--by the Indian

wards Alexandra, and by the Sabine

even goes so far as to claim that an Invalid
ing army of $4,000 could be successfully
resisted in its progress through the State
by the regular troops there, the conscripts
and the paroled prisoners from Vicksburg
and Port Hudson. Magruder has unlimited
command. The following may be taken as
evidence of the feeling prevailing:
The late calls for State troops and
minute men are being responded to all over
the State with an alacrity that reminds
one of the early days of the war. All the
people seem to be preparing for the onset
of the foe, and whenever he appears they
will rush to meet him. 1t is astonishing
how many men we have left within the
borders capable Of doing something for their
country, and ready to do all they can. De-
crepid old men, the women and children OF
Texas may feel safe. There will be wall
of steel and insurmountable barriers OF
Texas hearts between them and the van
dals.

The Scare on Lake Erie.

S,me kilograms from Canada to Wash
iDgton walked up the Lake Erie people, last
week, to the fright, that they were to be
invaded by rebels, in propellors, on the
Lakes; and, hence, there has been con-
siderable scare, great scare, from Rochss
ter to Detroit. There is no clear proof Of
any thing, beyond that some blind idea has
been INDUCED in, Of liberating the rebel
prisoners, curiously placed, not in the heart
If Ohio, but off in Lake, in close connec-
ton with Canada. The Canada press helps
on the fright by big stories, and seems to
eni " it, but they give no proof of anything
very alarming. The Secretary of War, in
tead of quietly acting upon the very little
information be had from Canada, has star
tied up the whole Lake regions, with his
flashes, and there seems to be, from Roches-
ter to Detroit, preparations for arms, as if
all Canada were coming, But, &c nitric,
