PRosPERIrY OF TExAs.-The New York
Post, speculating upon the probability, a
month ago, that the rebels would make one
more stand in Texas, observed:
That State, with its 237,a2l square miles,
has the area Of ten South Carolinas. 1t is
an empire 10 ITSELF Texas alone, of all the
Southern States, has not only not suffered,
but has immensely gained in wealth, 10 pop,
ulation and Importance, during and by the
rebellion. From the spring Of 1851 ill now
there has been an enormous deportation Of
negroes from the States bordering on the
Mississippi to Texas, where their labor could
be made profitable, and there was no danger
Of moIestation by invading armies, and no
opportunity for the slaves TO run away. The
masters have followed; hundreds Of new
plantations-cotton corn and tugar-have
been opened; no State, loyal or disIoyal, has
seen so much gold and silver and so little
paper money in circulation during the last
four years; and Texas is the only cotton State
that planted full crop for 1865, two months
ago.

uble and easily removed. Il should not be
allowed to remain long on the surface. Mu-

Trouble AHEAD.-It is generally under.

negro suffrage. He seems TO be determined
upon representing the conservative elements
Of the country. 1t will be remembered in
this connection that he was an Old Line
Democrat, at the beginning Of the awful
war through which We have just passed. Mr..
johnson says, that State sovereignty has not
been destroyed by the military power Of the
Nation, it has simply been suspended, and
must resume its place as in the Federal Con,
s.itution provided. Such views do not suit
the radicals Of bis party, and We are very
glad they do not. Let US have a decent
Union, If we have any at all. Said radicals
are going to raise a row or have their own
way. Just their style.

GuERR1LLAs IN ALABAMA.-Bands Of guer.
rillas are still nfesting the neighborbood Of
Mobile. A party Of them recently in the
night time visited the residences Of two
prominent citizens, who, but for the assis-
tance afforded by some negroes, would have
been hanged for the readiness they had man,
ifested in taking the oath Of allegiance. On
the same night, another party Of them went
nto the Battle House with the intention Of
shooting Ger" Grange 1": did no: succeed S:ssa
and carry their project into execution. The
chief of this baud was Capt. Moore, noted
for bis daring. He bad frequently refused
offers Of high rank in the rebel army, and
had acted as an independent scout up to the
fall Of Mobile. He has now commenced a
series of depredations near the city, robbing
friend and foe alike, burning their houses
and destroying cotton wherever he can find

NORFOLK AND LopI.-In discoursing Of
these noted horses. the Stockton Indepen.
dent says they are both sons Of the rspown'
ed Lexington with dams of the purest and
best blood, and each has splendid record
of his own. Lodi is owned by Judge G. II.
Bryan, Of Nevada; Norfolk, by Theodore
Winters Of the same State. Lodi cost $l2,-
600, Norfolk $l4. 900, and at the time Of
their purchase they we're considered by the
most experienced turfmen the two best hor'
ses on the continent 1t appears to be the
popular opinion that while Norfolk has the
'heels" to win two mile heat race, Lodi
has the "bottom" to beat him in three
mile contest The horses have never met
before. Norfolk's record for two mile
race is established, but he has never run
longer distance, though his stock indicates
bis ability to do it. Lodi has run three mile
heats, and is believed to be a number one
horse for that distance and also for the full
four mile heats of his incompatible sire. As
Norfolk won the short race and was not per.
mtted by his owner to strive for the second
and larger one, having been withdrawn, it
may be Mr.. Winters did not like to risk the
latter for fear his horse might lose the iepu-
tation already gained over bis competition
As the matter stands now, both horsss hold
their laurels, Norfolk for having beaten Lodi
in a two mile race, and Lodi for having
blutfed Norfolk on three mile one.

There are now three distinct parties 10

whose management the attempt to ship arms
last year miscarrisd, and who inaugurated
The Bron:es affair, but has now thrown over,
board Williams, Hungerford and the original
lea ers Of the expedition, and gone with
another crowd, who claim TO be getting off
the expedition for Indian 6ghtingi in Arizona,
nominally under Marshal Dutfield and Frost
aud others, who made the affidavits charging
the first leaders with intended piracy-the
men remaining on the Brontes adhere to this
party-and, lastly, the party of General
Ochoa, who, with number Of The heroes of
Puebla, recently arrived direct frou' Juarez,
and are understood 10 represent fully the
Liberal Government. Senior Godoy, the
Mexican Consul, appears to repose entire
confidence in this party. Their movements
are kept more secret than the others. They
have the new Mexican loan in Charge. Il is
