gsiy" \ distressing accideat occurred on
Thursday Of last week, TO little son Of
Capt. Z. Q. Browdcr, living near this place.
which it is feared may prove fatal. The
little boy, Edward, was drying wood
wagon, short distance from his fathers
residence, and sitting on the front Of the
frame, when it became uncoupled, and the
coupling pole running forward frightened
the horses so as to make them run off,
The little boy was thrown down and be-
came tangled among the hound and axle of
the wagon, and was dragged some two hun
drcd'ynr,ls, when the wheel struck tree
and the horses broke loose. The boy was
very badly manglcd and bruised, one cash
across hc front part Of the thigh laying
the bone hare and decorating the muscles.
Upto the present time he is getting along
as well MS could be expected.

Flour To CUBA,-The FL Indicator of
yesterday tells us that by an error of its
compositors the paragraph respecting the
duty on foreign -four, imported in Spanish
vessels into Cuba and Porto Rico, was
omitted in its last week publication.
This duty, III Indicator tells us, is seven
escadors, or So 50per barrel. This is much
better than SO so or our trade here. Texas
will he the great flour exporting State, and
MS its products will exclusively como to us
or go to Galveston, the supplying Cuba

B;B" The Houston Telegraph urges The
immediate resumption of work on tho New
Orleans and Texas Railroad, work which
but for the war; would long since have been
in operation. The Telegraph discusses the
Importance Of the road MS link in the rail
road connection of the Atlantic aud Pacific
states, and presents forcible arguments in
its favor. While upon the subject of rail
roads, neiglibor, We would put in a word for
the early extension of the Central read to-
wards this section. 1t is of the utmost i'm
portancc TO the commercial interests of
Northern Texas, that this road should be
built, or that some road should connect us
with navigable stream; and the road that
first pcnciratcs to the wheat region will
reap the rich harvest that has for years
awaited the iron horse.

Now that the laws of the United States

ing upon the statute books, will have to be
observed by ourselves, as well rs the peo-
pie of the heretofore sloyal7 States, il Is

ourselves with them, and especially With
such as relate TO the Internal revenue,

Tue PROVISIONAL GOVERNOR OF MisSIs-
sIPPI--lf President Johnson had picked
Mississippi over from DeSoto to Grants
Pass, he conld not have selected a better,
wiser, more temperate, just and well tried
man to inaugurate civil government in
Mississippi than William L. Sharkey.
For as long period as he desired to re.
main on the bench, Judge Sharkey was
Chief Justice Of the State. Although a
Wing, and living in community strongly
and decidedly opposed to him in politics, he
was repeatedly reelected to that position.
Once only was partisan nomination made
with the view Of defeating him, and its
signal failure, especially in the counties
most decidedly democratic, gave him clear
field ever aftcrward.
Judge Sharkey has ever been regarded
by The Mississippi bar their highest and
brightest judicial luminary; and he would
have been on the Supreme bench Of the
United States twenty years ago, had parii-
san feeling elsewhere than in Mississippi
been less disposed to influence judicial ap-
poiniments.
Judge Sharkey, though a decided Nhig
and opposed 10 secession, was always very
moderate and fair in his judgment Of others

| Bss5~ il is said by Northern Journals that
European emigration is setting in TO zInrr-
lea in greater volume than ever before, most
of which goes to the North West. The
Houston Telegraph says thatit has been the
making Of that country, and thinks that
Z" under the new condition Of things, nc
country in the world can offer such induce
mepts to settlers as Texas. There is no
whore on the face of The earth such COM
bination Of good soil, good climate and

The editor thinks that while cotton, which
has heretofore been our main crop, keeps at
its prcsent value, it can be raised success
fully BY free labor, at wages that prevail at
the North. But the cultivation Of small
grain, particularly what, is destined to
I far surpass in value llc best cotton crops
VIC could ever raise. The Telegraph adds
HThcre is scope Of country adapted to
small grains, and particularly wheat, that
is over 200 miles in length by 500 in width.
Wheat has this gear been raised and turned
ont good crops in all parts Of ibis territory.
Three hundred and fifty thousand square
miles is no iriilc, and if filed up with ems
icrprising labor, is capable Of turning out
wheat enough to feed the world.
