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 tele-
graphic communication with New Or
leans, and that, as it is telegraph
charges are so high.
The Bulletin says:
For the life of US we cannot tell
what is the position of Louisiana. II
it civil or military government
The Collin County Messenger says:
The quantity Of wheat sown IN this
section the present fall is much larger
than usual, and the crop, 80 far as we
have been able to ascertain, is exceed
lngiy promising. The only fear in the
minds OF farmers seems 60 be that there
will be lack of laborers ut harvest
tllne.
Gen. Gregory has returned to Gal
weston from tour oftweuty one days in
the interior, during which he address,
ed many Of the whites and fifty thou
sand negroes. His principal object
was to contract for the ensuing year.
He was successful, says the Bulletin,
III convincing the negroes that their
hopes Of farms and other worldly goods
were baseless." Many freedmen at
once signed contracts. Gen. &. was
to start on another tour soon, and
hopes by lst prox., to have caused a
sufficient number of hands to contract
for the culture of the cotton fields for
the ensuing year.
The venerable Bishop Jas. O. An.
drew, Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, is preaching in Texas.
The First National Bank of Gal.
weston opened for business on the 4th
inst.
On the LIST inst, the military author
tiles turned over to Mr.. Shepherd,
Superintendent of the Southwestern
Telegraph lines in Texas, all control
over them.
There we're twelve burials in Hous
ton in November. For city of TO-,
600 inhabitants, that indicates good
deal of health.
The citizens of Houston have raised
the money to clean out the Bayou,
build ig new wharf, and otherwise
materially improve their navigation
facilities with Galveston.

In days Lang syns, when the writer was
on q Northern tour for the benefit of his
health, it was his fortune TO cross the Great
Northern Lakes in steamer, on board Of
Which, was beautiful and accomplished
young Lady, who was taken sick, and
died during the passage, from Chicago to
Buffalo. The writer was the only physi-
clan on board, and was requested in his
professional capacity to see her. While
watching by the couch of the pale sufferer
on the night she disd-and by the ftful
Rlimmering of q solitary taper, the follow
ing inpromptu lines were suggested:
Alone. through the long night
watehed beside the weary sufferers bed,
And with the nrss faint dawn Of light,
Her apirit asd.
II seemed to wait for this,
As upward borne, upon the wirgs of light,
To enter into res ms Of bliss,
Through portals bright.
o 'tis bitter hour
That calls the young ind beautiful away;
Ere they have felt affliction's power,
Or sorrows swsyi
The world seems like dream
10 them. some pleasing vision Of the night,
Glowing with Hopes Elusive beam
All fair and bright.
1t must be harder then
The sordid seifshness Of men,
And LIES stern toll
Then, too, the joyous soul
Has never bowed beneath the chast'ning rod,
That bids as look beyond earth's goal,
Up to our God.
Reason had left its throne,
And she was murmuring Of other scenes,
Her thoughts we're OF her early home
And girlhood's dreams.
A sainted Mothers name,
How oft 1t trembled on her lips and diedi
Think ye that Angel Mother came
To be her guidsi
Through the DARK vale Of Death,
To lead her child up to her bright homer
Quicker and shorter grew her breath,
Then all was gonsl
No struggle told the blow,
That disunited life's enthralling chain,
And let the rsnsomed Spirit 60
To Heaven again.

Propositions DECLlNED--Ws are

propositions from parties abroad en-
gagged in various callings who seem
very eage- to make use OF our col
umns 10 order to further their inter-
ests, and, ss they pretend, to promote
our own at the same time. Some OF
those parties have pianos and sewing
machines to dispose Of; others have
jewsIry, books and gift enterprises "on
the most gorgeous scale;" while 9th.
s,s again are illumiping the world by
the publication Of namby-pamby
mushroom magazines !; all Of which
We are solicited to make known ad-
vertisingy aud otherwise to our read

promised payment ~ the generous
parties aforesaid, agrsesbly to terms
and conditions which they are so kind
a. to stipulate, thus relieving US Of all
ths trouble involved in becoming a
"party to the contract" and which
they will find it essentially does 10 all
intents and purposes, for we can have
nothing to do with such propositions.
We need something more tangible
