New York, July 29th.-The Heralds
Texas correspondent says The larger num-
Der of our national troops, intended
to be stationed along the Rio Grande,
had arrived at their destinations on
the 10Th of July, and formed line of posts,
extending from the mouth of the stream to
some distance above Brownsville. The
cavalry columns, under Generals Merritt and
Custer, which left Shreveport and Alexan-
dria, Louisiana, in the beginning of this
month were expected to reach the Texas from
tier early in August. The town of Brows-
vile, which during the rebellion was the
great entrepot for cotton from the interior
of Texas, and where an immense business
in the State was transacted, is now deserted
by its rebel merchants who accumulated
monster fortunes in few months. Its bu-
siness activity. except such as the presence
of an army gives it, has for the present de-
parted.
The battery of six guns which the rebels
on evacuating Brownsville, sold to the
Mexican imperialists for $4,000, was re-
turned to the United States commander at
that place on the 10th July, by order of Max
imilian.

The Pirate Shenandoah,

Telegraphic dispatches from San Francis
co announce that the pirate Shenandoah is
still ahoat; that she has recently destroyed
several American whale ships; that her
commander continued his depredations after
he had been informed of the collapse of the
rebellion, on the pretence that he disbeliev-
ed this intelligence, but that, on the other
hand, he readily credited the report of the
assassination of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, be-
cause, as he said, ne expected it. This in
telligence furnishes striking proof of the
completely of the rebel leaders with the con-
spiracy, and shows how "the evil that men
do live after them" The statement that
the pirate is manned with crew of English
and Irish sailors, coupled with the fact that
it still continues its devastation, illustrates
the wisdom of the remonstrance which Sec
retary SEWARD recently addressed to Earl
RUSSELL England will long regret that
her statesmen ever threw protecting shield
over the Confederate cruisers, particularly
after the close of the war.

A Patriotic Family

The Harrisburg Telegraph of Thursday
morning July Goth, says: eve were this
morning favored with visit from brave
soldier named John Won Rodd, of Company
A, 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry, who his here
awaiting the arrival of his regiment, to be
discharged Mr. Won Rodd is German,
and son of William Henry Won Rodd,
Esq, of Butztown, Pa The father is
eighty-nine years of age, and has lost nine
sons, in the war for the Union. Eight of
these were killed in battle, and the other
died of starvation, in the rebel prison pens
at Salisbury. While prisoner. the son last
referred to actually ate has right hand, SO
great was lis hunger. John, from whom
we have obtained our information, is the
tenth and youngest of the brothers, and he
bears the scars of eight aoounds received in
battle. He, too, was for time prisoner
at Salisbury, and was only released at the
close of the war. His recital of the treat
ment of the starving prisoners fully confirms
all the accounts that have heretofore been
published of the Southern barbarism under
which our men suffered. Upon inquiry, we
learn from other sources, that Henry Viii
liam Won Rodd, the father of the ten heroes,
has for many years been one of the most
highly respected citizen of Butztown. Is
there another man in the world who has
sacrificed more sons upon the altar of our
country than this aged German?'

Senatorial Nomination,

22d Senatorial District, for the State Senate

the Conferees of each county tenaciously
adhering to their favorite; but after a

of the different candidates, the nom

ed to Gen. Harry White The loyal men
of the entire State will applaud this action !;
not that they tail to recognize in those who
contended for this honor with our gallant
friend, qualities of the highest character for
the same position, but they believe that
honor due to the gallant soldier upon whom
it has been bestowed Gen. Whites cleo

jority larger than any ever received by "a

Ohio Politics.

The contest in Ohio for Governor promi-

ocrats are said to be hopelessly divided.
Those of them who were loyal during the
war favor the nomination of Col. McCook,
of Steubenville, but as the Colonel is not
very high in the favor of Vallandigham,
Love, aud that style of men, they have call
ed Convention of their own, to meet in
Columbus, on the 18th Of August, to NOM
mate ticket. General George W. Nor
gan is spoken of as their candidate, on ac-
count of his Fourth of July Grafton declar-
ing that the equality of men in the Decla-
ration of Independence, was not intended to
include the colored race. But as the Gener-
al was in the army at one time, it is feared
that peace men will not compromise them
selves by nominating a man that ever wore
the army blue. In the mean time the 9TH
er wing feel exceedingly apprehensive, and
are at loss what to do

risburg On THURSDAY, THE 18th AUGUST,
1865, at II clock NJ, for the purpose OF
putting in nomination a State Ticket to be
supported by the friends of the Union at
the coming October election.
The earnest and jealous labor of loyal
people secured the great victory in 1864, and
made the war, which our enemies denounced
as a failure, glorious success in 1865.
Our flag has been maintained-our enc
mics destroyed-our Government preserved,
and peace re-established. Let every friend,
who aided in this result, take measures to be
represented in that Convention. We must
see to it that the fruits of our success are
not lost to the Nation.
Business of vast Importance will be pre-

A Noteworthy Fact.

The Democratic journals continue to agi-
tate the horrors of the hanging of Mrs.
Surratt. Many of them misrepresent the
testimony and argue deceitfully to prove her
innocence. 1t is perhaps not remarkable
that these very journals have earnestly ar
gued the right of secession-the innocence
of rebellion, and are now industriously max
ing apologies for their erring brethren of
the South.

Must Give It Up.

The democrats made an egregious mis-
take in appropriating President johnson to
themselves SO unceremoniously as they did.
They thought that they might be able to
wheedle that sterling patriot and sagacious
statesman into the adoption of such policy
as would restore them and their Southern
brethren to the control of the government
He, however, could not be caught with chaff
but has steadily administered public affairs
on the principle of making treason odious,
and of executing every article of the Con-
stitution and all the laws and proclamations
made in pursuance thereof in every State of
the Union. The Democrats were much cha
grined at first, and although they endeav-
or to put as good face on the matter as
they can, they are nevertheless in quanda-
ry as to whether there is any use to contin-
ue the effort or not. We advise them to
give it up, for they will have their labor for
nothing. Andrew johnson thoroughly un-
derstands the logic of events and has no
power to take the course backward which
the democracy urge upon him. To tell all
Democrats who desire to count the Presi-
dent with them, we say, come up to the
high progressive point he occupies, and aid
him with ourinfuence in the work. of restor-
ing civil government over the whole coun-
try upon the basis of universal freedom
