The Texas rebels are reported to nave
disbanded and gone home, according to
the terms recently executed in New Or
leans between Generals Candy and Kirby

The Indians are again becoming trouble
some on the plains. A Mormon trainwas

tenders in charge killed or wounded.
By the latest advices from Europe we
learn that the Atlantic Telegraph Gable
has been completed and shipped on board
the Great Eastern. The Managers are
| confident that all the defects in the for
mer cable have been overcome in this, and
that the enterprise will be a great success.
Holland is the first European power to
rescind the recognition of belligerent
! rights to the rebels, which she and other
minor powers were virtually compelled to
grant by the action of France and Eng
land. During the war for National indie
pendence, she showed us strong sympathy
and lent us material aid.
President johnson has issued a procla-
nation for the reorganization of the State
of Mississippi, appointing L. Sharpley
provisional Governor, and providing for
the call of a Convention to revise the
Constitution of the State in conformity
with existing affairs. None butloyal men
will be eligible as members, or as voters
at the election.
Advices from Mexico represent the
liberals as having gained much important
ground during the last month. The
French despair of pacifying the country
unless 10000 more French troops are sent
to their assistance.
The U. s.. Transport, Admiral Dupont,
which left New York for Fortress Mon
roe on the 18th inst, with a small detach-
ment of troops, colided with the British
ship Stadacona, in a dense fog early next
morning. The Dupont settled and sunk
in three minutes after the collision. The
crew were all saved, with the exception
of six soldiers, one fireman and a colored
woman.
We have the gratifying intelligence of
the arrest and confinement in Fort Lafay-
cite of that blatant rebel, John Mitchell.
He was, until the occupation of that city
by our troops, editor of the Richmond
Examiner; but after that event, he had
the ~impudenee to go to New York and
assume the editorship of the New York
News, Ga viler paper), and has since been
daily abusing the tyranical Federal Gov
eminent and every person and thing con-
nected with it. It is to be hoped he will
have his just deserts meeted out to him.
The conspiracy trials at Washington
are still in progress. The week has been
mostly taken up with the attempts to
prove an alb; for O'LaughIin, and that
Payne is insane. 1t is thought that the
Commission will soon bring its labors to
a close.

DIABoLIcAL.-The fendish spirit which
actuated the rebel leaders in inaugurating
the rebellion, led them to starve and
practice inhuman barbarities upon help
less prisoners in their hands, and to as
s~assinate our beloved President, still con-
tinues to show itself as the war draws to
a close. The fearful explosion at Mobile,
by which several hundred lives were lost
and many million dollars worth of prop
erty destroyed, proves not to have been
the result of an accident, but of traitor
malignity. A man by the name of Wall
has been arrested, and he confesses that
he was one of the persons who laid torpe-
does in the vicinity of the magazines, and
that he was led to do so by the orders and
threats of a rebel Major, who, with his
hands, lighted the fuse. When the
fact that the city had surrendered, and
the chief sufferers would surely be rebel
citizens is considered, the story seems al
most Incredible. But we have reasons,
from events lately TRANSFERRED, to believe
nothing too infamous for the inhuman
rebels to practice towards their enemies.
And yet we have many among us who,
in the face of all this evidence, apologize
for their acts, and argue that this great
and glorious Government can afford to be
magnanimous towards conquered enemies,
but when the conquered enemies %evince
such iendish hatred, the idea is manifest
ly an erroneous one.
We publish to day the proceedings of
meetings of the 31st and Goth Regiments
Ohio Volunteers, called for the purpose of
