SPEECH BY GEN. ANDREWS,

81. We have received a copy OF the.
Houston ( Texas) Herald, OF July 22d,
containing speech delivered by Bre-
vet Major General G. G. Andrews, at
Brcnham, Texas, on the Goth of July.
Gen. Andrews remarks are temperate
aud practical, containing much good
advice to both planters and the freed
men. He says that the latter will re-
main with their late masters, who are
required to deal fairly with them, not
only as regards wages, but also treat
ment. While impressins upon the
freedmen the fact that they will be re-
quired to be orderly and peaceable and
will not be allowed to collect in bodies
in the towns and villages, he rebukes
the Southern press for misrepresenting
and vilitying the disposition Of the col.
o'ed people, charging them with indo-
lcnce and vices of which they are not
guilty: Geu. A. bears the following tes-
timony: ..sk5 !
The freed people have behaved remarks
oily we'll it is not they who are commit.
ting this jayhawking aud robbery We hear
OF. Wherever l have been in the South I
have found their general conduct to. be
good. What is particularly striking is the
desire they everywhere evince for knowl-
edge. -. =
The following paragraph. from Gen.
Andrews speech is also pregnant with
truth: >'..'4 : 81"
If man intends to be q planter. he
should be thorough planter, and give his
chief attention to the business. Such a
mai will have no trouble with free labor.
But If man expects to be planter, and
yet spend most of his time in taking poll
tics in town, probably disparaging the char
acter Of the blacks, and supposes his labor
ers, Of their own accord, will work with
enthusiasm on small psy and rough treat
ment, he will be disappointed. The failure
of such planter will be no testimony
against free labor His failure will be the
result Of his own neglect af duty, So: ~.
In conclusion, Gen. Andrews ex.
presses his own good feelings, and those
Of the people and army Of the North
toward the people of Texas advises
them to encourage emigration; to act
nobly in the work Of re-hyiug the fouu-
datlons of their State; and, finally, i'm
presses upon their minds the transcen-
dent importance Of education. ..:.- T.:

this speech, says. 800 S.>:' - 49,. .-.'S'>
On the whole We are given to understand
that the visit of Gen. Andrews to the coun-
ty seat Of the wealthiest planting county in
the State was satisfactory to all parties
and productive of much good.
The same paper says that Gen. An
drews will soon remove his zheadquar-
ters to Galveston. :. a. ss9...s f.rs -.

Of the General to return to St. Cloud

WEATHER AND CROPS.

The St. Louis Democrat, of the LIST,
publishes reports Of the weather and
crops in the various W estern States up
to the 28th ult. In eixty-threc state

nine, where the wheat will be ruined if
the rain continues thirteen: that the
crop is somewhat damaged !; fifteen,

Corn and oats generally are reported as
giving the best promise Of large yields.

FIVE report the wheat crop t6oe 9 two,

A MILITARY TICKET;

Inc minneapolis altos OF last week
scolds ill-naturedly at The DEMOCRAT
for expressing its intention not to sup.
port for the nomination of Governor
the coming fall, any candidate who had
not beer in the military service. And
the atlas, using this paper as a mirror,
cries out "demagogue~
We have advocated, and still advo-
cate, the nomination Of military men
tor at least the three State offices of
Governor, Lieutenant Governor and
Secretary Of State, from motives Of
principle. The war has just been clos
ed, aud gloriously. Our victorious
regiments are returning home, showing
by their decimated ranks and tattered
colors the desperate contests through
which they have passed inennintaining
the integrity Of the Union. Now, it
is no disparagement of the services of
thousands Of good men who haye, isstaid
at home and performed necessary du.
ties in their capacity as citizens, but
an honorable recognition of the princi-
pies so nobly maintained by our armies,
that points to the returning soldiers as
the>n,en to ill the Offices in the gift Of
the people. And especially is this ap-
propriate on the part of the Republi-
can organization, which has always
maintained that the true way to secure
peace was to crush the rebellion; while
the Democratic party favored compro-
mise, concession and cessation Of
hostiities." We submit, thus briefly,
If it is not consistent, both with JUS
tice and the record Of the Union party,
to confer upon our soldiers the nomina-
tons for State and local Offices. &. We
do not claim that'this should always be
so-or even that it should be the rule
next year--but at the present juncture,
as We are in the first possession Of peace,
nothing could SAVIOR more of right. ~
As to the oft-repcated charge, made
Likewise by the 1tlas, that the advo-
Gates. Of a"military ticket" ignored the
private soldiers, to the exclusive bene-
fit Of the of6cers,a little common-sense
reasoning soon puts it to rest. Before
there was any war, and therefore any
any soldiers, and indeed from time i'm
memorial, in order for any man to oh:
tain the nomination 70, . State, or ma.
tional Office, it was necessary that he
should have more than q local reputa-
ton. No man, whose name. was not IA.
miliar throughout the entire State, was
ever placed in nomination for the posi-
ton Of Governoror for Congress by eth
er party in Minnesota. And the case case is
tho same now as then. The officers Of
the regiments are well known, at least
BY reputation, bv all; while-tbe name
Of many private, equally as capable
and equally as brave as his regimen.al
commander, is a stranger to all save 4
few in bis own locality; just as many
good citizen remains in obscurity,
