TEXAS did not use to be particularly
distinguished for it's piety. Indeed, it's
reputation was slightly the reverse; but
the war has changed all that, we learn
from the Houston Telegraph, which says:
While nothing is more manifest than
that the general tone of the Southern mind
is now deeply religious, and that the peo.
pie look to God for help and rely on Dr.
vine power for deliverance, devotiDg them
selves with unprecedented unanimity to
the observance of days of worship, both of
Divine and human appointment, nothing,
on the other hand, is more striking than
the irreligien, not to say blasphemy, that
is rampant in all portions of the country
OF our enamy, iu all classes OF society, and
among all religious or quasi religious or
contra religious beliefs.
There is a parable in a venerable book
about the publican and sinner, but OF
course it could not apply at all to the
Yankees, for they are outside of all Chris
tian influences; while it cannot refer in
juriOusly to the men of the South, for is
not their peculiar Institution, which dis
tiuguishes them from all the rest of the
civilized world, Heaven appointed?

The New York Journal of Commerce, re-
puted as authority in money matters, in
the course of financial analysis of the at
fairs of the country, says:
"Au initiation of the currency may be 80
arranged as to enhance the value of mo-
ney, and render it scarcer at central points.
while it's effect upon prices may be greater
than when the currency appears to be more
abundant. If the government puurs out a
volume of currency in this city, it floats
of loan on its tide before it affects prices
throughout the country. As the money
becomes distributed, these prices adjust
themselves to the new issue, and then it is
of no further avail for the purposes propo-
sed. But the National Bank currency, on
the other hand. like the falling rain. ia
widely distributed, raising prices eyery-
where. without bringing tide to bear lust
where the loan is aground. 1t has thus ali
the evil effects of the initiation, with no
ury." '''4"' 'feAS'

a 1oRoR of The North Carolina home

A HoR0R of the North Carolina home
guard, sent to resist our raiders on the
East Tennessee line, refused to cross their
State line, and therebet papers abuse them
for lack of patriotism. The North Caro-.
linians are evidently not inclined to fight
much more for such independence as Davis
cOnfederacy gives them. Capt. Grant, of
a Wisconsin regiment, who lately escaped
from Columbia, S. O., and made his way
through western North Carolina, reports
that he found many earnest Union men
there, who fed and sheltered him and
helped him on his way. The mountains
were sWarming with Union men, refugees
from the rebel CONSUMPTION. Many of them

alarmed at the idea of entering an army
because they feared to encounter the dan
gers OF war; but they had horror of fight
ing against their country and the old flag;
and would undergo periIs and privations,
and die rather than do it. Capt. Grant
found in one place den in the woods, in-
genlously constructed, in which fifteen of
those men lived. When he reached these
friendly people he was in a pitiable plight,
his clothes being nearly all torn off, and
his boots worn until they ceased TO afford
any protection to his feet. The Union
tugittves hRrboriug in zone Of the

and he LETT his company in the woods and
proceeded to Knoxville with one of them,
selected to be an officer, who received q

the men to complete their organization.
A rebel soldier writes to The Houston
NsWs that he was iuhospitably treated in
the western part of that state, and ssys:-

THE proceedings consequent upon the
death of DR.. Robert R. Reed, late a mem
Der of the Pennsylvania legislature from
Washington county, were of an unusually
interesting character in that body on We'd
nesday last, as we notice by the published
reports. Mr.. Hopkins, 10 the Senate, life
long political opponent of the Doctor, paid
p glowing tribute to his memory, saying
many excellent, aud we suppose entirely
uueIaggerated things of him. Among other
praises he testified to the Christian virtues
of his late opponent-to his genial friend.
ships, his courteous manner toward antag-
ohists, his domestic graces, his high toned
manner in all the relations Of life.
DR.. Reed was once member of Congress
from Washington county, having beaten
Mr.. Hopkins in the canvass of I847. His
next appearance in political life was ia
1868, when be was nominated as member
of the Legislature when absent con mis-.
sion of mercy among the soldiers"
For some Ihirty-six years he was a con-
zistent and devOut member of the Presby-
Ietlah church. during seventeen years OF
which time he was q ruling Elder, which
responsible position he filed with that
ueekness and fidelity which always char
acterizes the true Christian. He was for
period of twenty six years Superintend-

his church, and it is no e1AggeratiOu to
say that in the administration of the affairs
OF that department he had few equals and
no 6uperior5. Such was his peculiar fac.

TIE correspondent of the New York Ez.
press at Washington, thinks that more leg
islatiOn is needed on the subject touched
upon in the following paragraph.
The constantly occurring frauds perpe-
trated on the government by high officials
in various ways, aud the seeming inability
to protect the Treasury by the, means now
provided by law, lead to the inquiry wheIh.
er 1t Is not possible for Congress to provide
such additional checks as will both pro-
tect the public Treasury and give better
tone to the morals of public officials. IN.
less something is done to check this moral
delinquency, all confidence will be lost,
and the tax payers will despair of any pow
er to protect them in their efforts for res.
toring the Union.
1t is right to learn from our enemies
Such is maxim as old as war. The New
York Express is an enemy to the ad.
ministrAtion, but if there is real foundation
tor the above paragraph the matter should
be inquired into in most thorough man
ner. The corruptions of Buchanan's ad-
ministratiOn smelt to heaven. Plenty of
the same thing always remains about
Washington. Our friends in Congress were
busy then in finding out and exposing
corruption, let them do the same thing
now.
Speaking of the above species of cor
FuPtion calls our attention to the following
paragraph in the New York Tribune. No
ting the fact that the New York Central
Railroad stock has commenced going up
on the ground of belief in Wall street
that the road will SO control the Legislature
now in session as to secure permit to
raise their fares, the Tribune ssr-
cas'ically urges the members to hold
themselves high, aud not take low prices
tor their votes. 1t says:
Vote for none of the "big things" till
you have the money secure in your closed
hVnds, and do not sell out your honesty,
good names, the respect of your neigh
bors, and your hopes of future, at a
ridiculousy low figure. They will need
over eighty votes in all to put through the
increase of fare on the Central, aud can
richly afford to pay $40, 900 each for til EN-
II you allow yourselves to be fobeed of
with less amount, you will be doing
shameful work for which others will clutch
the pay. If you will be knaves, keep out Of
the half price category, and insist on hav-
ing the wages of your infamy in full.
