PnbIic MeetIng I'M MarshaIl.

The following resolutions were adopted
at q public meeting in Marshall held on
the 10Th inst;
Your committee believe that they faith
fully represent the views and feelings of
the entire population of the county, and
they doubt not tho Stale, thnngh- not called
upon to express an opinion beyond their
own immediate ncighborhood, respectfully
represent:
|. That they recognize the war as over,
and are anxious for the establishment, not
only of good order, but good feeling be-
tween all sections OF the country. We be-
long alike to the Union, and desire as ear
ly as possible to restore it to its original
yigor, with its protection of civil rights,
and the principles of constitutional free
dom.
9. Texas not having been TIE theatre of
war; and her citizens having been accus-
toned uninterruptedly to the rights privi-
leges and immunities which belong to civil
government, feel keenly the sense of per-
sonal insecurity arising from the civil law
being temporarily suspended, and are solic-
itous for return TO the civil government.
That for this purpose they respectfully me-
morialize the authorities of the United
States to abandon all apprehension of re-
sistance, either direct, or indirect, upon the
part of our citizens and TO rest assured
they will do all in their power to restore
the, reign of good feeling and good govern
mcnt. With an earnest assurance of this
fact, and satisfied ii will sbon be attested
by the officers of the United States, now
here or on the way 20 Texas, who will re-
ceive nothing but kindness and courtesy
from our citizens, we doubt not the govern
ment will give every assistance in its pow
er TO aid in restoring, as speedily as posi-
bic. the civil government.

courteous bearing Of II. Col. Wheaton. in

Tnn FuruRg.-We arc indebted to Mr., l.,
| NJ. Speiars OF Lamar county, late OF the aih
Texas, for late, and Interesting northern
papers. Mr.. Speiars came from Memphis
on the U. 2. Transport Shamrock with
troops for the Army Of Observation TO be
placed on the Mexican border, aud under
the command OF Sheridan, late commander
of the Federal forces In the Valley Of Nir-
J glnia, and undoubtedly an able commander.
Ono hundred, and fifty, or two hundred
thousand men will be imhodiol for this GER
vice. The cavalry, sixty thousand men
come 10 Alcxnndrin, and Shreveport, and
mss by land TO points on the Rio Grnndc.
Five army corps Of infantry, 60 by the way
of Brownsville. Tho Cavalry arc North
Western troops--the iniSntry, in part ne
groes. The fleet at Fortress Monroe Is all
ordered into the Gulf. The game Is plain,
and the result not doubtful.
Maximillian will 60 from Mexico IN a
hurry. All the forces Of Europe combined,
could not prevent II, II they were to try;
we doubt whether much effort will be made.
They cannot transport troops past the U.
S. fleets; and IL tho Gulf were open, they
could not pour them in by ship loads fast
enough to repcl the hordes of men who
could be thrown in overland by the United
States. The Monroe doctrine will be as
serted. We have no sympathy now for any
European Powcr-absoutely nonc--and If
they put themselves in competition with the
reunited States, they viii ono after anoth-
er hasten--if not TO their fall; at least TO
their speedy degradation.
The Mongrel race of Mexico however
never was capable of self government, and
the mis.called Nation needs n protectoratc
for its own good. The French would have
given it stable Government. The United
States could, If it would but VIC suppose
will deem such course repression Of tho
Republican rightof the People to misgoYcrn
themselves, end cheat the Bondholdcrs who
have subscribed to their loans, out Of their
dues.
We see that Maximillian's Minister de-
nies in The Washington City papers the ccs-
sion of any provinces TO France; but We
see also that writer's from Havana assert
that DUKE Gwin, has shown tho papers of
cession, and his own Patent of Nobility, and
Vice Royalty. The end is ligh; and if
Maximillian is backed by important pow
ers, the prettiest fight the world has ever
witnessed, is at its beginning; but the re-
suit cannot be doubtful. Republics are
dominant now; or at least the Great Rcpub-
lie is CiarksoiNe Standard.

The impression many have, that green
backs viii continue to depreciate, is not
wcll-founded, simply for the reason that
they will not be permitted 10 depreciate.-
Under the tremendous pressure Of the war,
they went down at one time TO 30 cts. on
the dollar while yet the war was going on
they went up 10 e6 cents, and on the close
Of the war TO 72 cents since which time
they have fuctuated between &C and 72 cts.
The last quotation Of l42 is the same as 20
cts. specie per dollar.
The amount Of grecnbacks ahoatis about
Sf00,OOO, 900. Cold is itself comparatively
abundant, and this retards the depreciation.
In all probability most staple values are
greater in either than before the war. The
steady influx Of gold into the United States
Treasury enables Il TO pay the interest on
its bonds in coin. II win doubtless con
tinue TO do 90. So long as these bonds are
saleable FOR currency, the currency must
continne at comparatively near the value
Of specie.

Hon. Z. ". johnson, Of Ark.

bAtHs fFe cOhhpVht va <A'fA'
We had the pleasure to meet this gentle
man, who we understand returns to his FAM
lily near Marlin, under parole from Gen.
Gordon Granger, whoappears to have acted
with great courtesy.
Mr.. johnson has occupied high public po-
sitions for many years, and has enjoyed the
respect and confidence Of the people of his
Stic. We learn that he was one of the
wealthicst planters in the fertile valley of
the Arkansas, that he has sustained the
war throughout, lost everything, and is to
tally ruined What may be the hopes for II
living for himself and family, or the many
others Of his claim in like condition, VIC
are, we confess, unable to conjecture.
To the sincere and conscientious, whether
right or not in their judgment, we extend
our sympathy and respect in the black hour
of their misfortune, and say God help them!
Mr.. ]. seems to have accepted the issue OF
a surrender with its consequences, in pref
crcncc to hopeless exile in foreign land.
1t IL brave resolution TO share the des-
tiay of this people who have trusted and
honored him so long, and thus places his
fate beyond his own control and in the
hands Of tho President and people of the
United States.
We annex as o matter Of some interest
his short but decided and digniiied letter to
Gen. Granger.

Instead of being made Of several hundred little
