the Senate.
Mr. SEMMEs, Senator from Louisiana, late
ly made some very uncharitable and unneces.
sary remarks, in tho Senate, with regard to
Gen. JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON and his military
career. Mr. SExNEs was ably answered by
Mr. WIGrALL, Senator from Texas. The
Richmond Enquirer speaks of the matter
thus:
The assault upon Gen. Johnston BY the
Senator from Louisiana, Mr.. Sehmes, was not
only i'll Timed, but, for the object Of the Sena
tor, most unfortunate. For, instead Of des-
.roying the immense popularity thnt now at
tacbes to Gen. Johnston, it called forth from
the Senator from Texas the most able, bril-
liant and conclusive defence to which We have
ever listened. htr. Wigfall took up the mill
tary career of Gen. Johnston at Manassas.
aud following it through the Peninsula, the
Vicksburg and the Atlanta campaigns, most
ably and conclusively demonstrated that mill
tary talent, judgment and ability had marked
every campaign until marred by the failure Of
the orders of others

If the friends of the President are so blind
as to imagine that they can defeat the purpose.
of the country to have Gen. Johnston restored
to command by assailing his military reputa-
ton, they very little understand the temper
of thepeople. The cause is the peoples cause,
aud the army is the army of the country.
And when the army and the people both de-,
mand a particular leader, it is worse than fol.
ly, and it is wickedness. to deny their wishes.
in monarchy. such obduracy would cost the !
prime minister his place, perhaps his bead-in |
o republic it may demand rs muck from those
who thus attempt to stand between the peo-
pie and their cause, as they understand it. !
We hope the Pre- sideut will end this unbe-
coming squabble Dy yielding to the public
wish and permitting the people to have the
General to command the army that they
wish. It. is their cause, and il they desire
General Johnston and believe that he can
save their cause, whether the President agrees
With them or not, sound discretion should
ldvise him to yield and let the people have
heir way. This is the only way tohave
larmopy.

IMPORTANT DocUMENTs.-Wc publish two
very important Proclamations from Gov.
Hamilton, to-day. The first in relation to
Collecting taxes, to meet the current ex-
penses of the Provisional Government and
the last making provisions for opening tie
Courts for the trial of all criminal causes,
and other purposes.
The first Proclamation instructs tn, As
SCISSORS and Collectors to assess betw cen the
10th of the present month and the LIST day
of December next, direct ad oalorem tax Of
twelve and a-half cents on the hundred
dollars, poll tax of one dollar, and license
and occupation taxes, according to the
laws in force prior to the I'd March, 1861;
lists to be rendered on all property real
and personal held or own on the LIST Of
July, 1865, and The present value Of the
property to be assessed shall be ascer-
tanned as near as practicable, but in no
case can it be assessed at q reduction of
more than 33a per centum less than the
same description of property was assessed
in the year A. D. 1860. The taxes are re-
ceivable in specie or Treasury notes of the
United States, and are TO be collected be-
tween the LIST day of December and the LIST
day of February, 1866. In all other re-
spccts the Assessors are to be governed by
the laws as they existed prior to the I'd
day of March, A. D. 1861. Authority is
also given the County Courts to levy the
usual County tax.
The Proclamation in regard to District
Courts provides that the several District
Courts shall proceed to try all criminal
causes; they shall also proceed with all
other character of suits, and shall render
judgement except in cases Of debt, and in
these latter they shall not proceed to final
judgements until the Proclamation is revok-
ed on this head. The actions of the late
Legislatures in reference to the time of
holding Courts and in relation to the form
of Districts, will, upon considerations of
policy and convenience, be respected and
observed by the District Courts. Attor-
neys and COunsellors, before they can prac-
ticc in the Courts, shall be required to take
the amnesty oath, in open Court.
These are the principal features of the
Proclamations, and we refer the reader to
the documents themselves for the particu-
lars.

EGyH With this number we commence the
Thirteenth Volume of the Herald. The
readers of the paper know what it has been
in the past, and We do not feel called upon
to write its history; we have now TO do
with the future, and in the conduct of our
columns it is our earnest wish, as it shall
DO our constant aim, to give encourage
mcnt and support to every thing that shall
in our judgement, conduce to the best in
tercsts of the State at large. Internal i'm
provcmcnts, the subject of education, and
all matters that may tend 10 the general
welfare of Texas shall receive our warmest
support, and if the efforts of the Herald
can yield any influence in the progress of
these subjects We shall be we'll satisfied
1t is our wish, as We have before said 10
enlarge our paper, to its former size, and
thereby give our readers the benefit of as
much reading matter as any of our cotem-
poraries but our ability to do this will
depend in a great measure, upon the pat
ronage which we receive, and we now call
uron our friends in all the surrounding
counties, to use some exertions for us in
obtaining large addition to our subscrip-
ton list. Our terms will be found under
the editorial head

IMPORTANT To TExAs-We understand
that Banks, under the National Currency
Act, have already been authorized for Gal
weston and Brownsville. That of Calves.
ton with capital of 100000, and ut
Brownsville with capital of 100000
We arc advised that Mr. i. Sherwood and
others have made applications at the de-
partmcnt Of the Comptroller of the Curren-
cy at Washington in behalf of Houston,
Austin, San Antonio, Huntsville and Tyler,
for permission to establish banks at those
places with the following amounts of CAPT
tai respectively. Houston, 100000; Austin,
100000; San Antonio, $l00,000 Hunts
vile, 100000 Tyler, 100000. Making
in the aggregate 81 100000 for the State.
The people of Texas will now require to
take the most effective course to build up
The interests Of the State in the place of
those which have been destroyed by the
folly of men who have failed to comprehend
the basis of popular security. We shall
need all the facilities attainable. An effec-
tive system of Internal improvements, in
connection with broad and just policy, in
connection with banking, will be necessa-
ry. Texas must be independent. Her In
tcrnal improvements must be kept under
the control of her own citizens, instead of
foreign spectators, and her currency pro-
viled by herself, rather than by Louisiana.
In short, she must build herself up instead
of inviting others to help tear down her
interests and all will be we'll in little
,ime.-BHlletin.
