From Texas.

Hon John H. Reagan arrived at Galveston on
the 4th inst, en- route to his home in Anderson
county.
The Galveston papers are aggrieved that
Galveston Is not IN direct Geographic cOmmunica-
ton with New Orleans, and that, as it is, the
the telegraph charges are so high.
The Collin Comfy Messenger says:
The quantity of wheat sOwn in this section the
present fall is much larger than usual, and the
crop. so far we have been able to ascertain, is
exceedingly promising. The only fear in the
minds of farmers seem TO be that there will be
lack of labOTers at harvest times.
Gen. Gregory has returned TO Galveston from
tour of twenty-One days in the interior, during
which he addressed many of the whites and fifty
thousand negroes His principal object was to
overcome the averseness of the freedmen to con
tract for the ensuing year. He was successful,
says the Bulletin, in convincing the negroes that
their hopes of farms and other worldly goods
were baseless." Many freedmen at once signed
contracts. Gen. G. was to start on another tour
soon, and hopes, by LIST prON., to have caused
sufficient number of hands to contract for the
culture of the cotton fields for the ensuing year.
The venerable Bishop Jas. 0. Andrew, of
Georgia, of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, is preaching in Texas. f.
The First National Bank Of Galveston opened
for business on the lth inst.
On the LIST inst, the military authorities turned
over to Mr. Sheppard, Superintendent of the
Southwestern Telegraph lines in Texas, all con-
troll over them.
There were twelve burials in Houston in Nov
ember. For a city of 10000 inhabitants, that in
dictates a good deal of health.
The citizens of Houston have raised the money
to clean out the Bayou, build big new wharf.
and otherwise materially improve their naviga-
ton facilities with Galveston.
THE LESSON FROM JAMAICA.-The Bos-
ton Post draws the following picture of the
late instruction and its suppression in ia
maica
The sudden suppression Of the Jamaica
ir surrection was attended with almost as
many horrors as were crowded into the
bloody and brutal attempt to make it sue
cessful. Eigh miles of dead bodies of rebels;
a thousand bodies hanged and hanging
The mind revOlts at the picture, and refuses
to believe that sudden frenzy can 80 bar
barrie community. The atrociousness of
the rising of the blacks we have had already
now come the sickening details of the reac-
ton. An eyewitness writes that there is
one continual scene of hanging, day by day"
| The sailors declare that the dead bodies are
buried othick they remind them of sardines;
and serious epidemics were feared from the
effluyia-tainted atmosphere. To crown all,
and as if the Almighty would set his seal of
condemnation on the whole spectacle, the
oscillations of the earth for a time threat
ened the living population with an indis-
criminate engulfing. Horrors on horrors
