Joseph Smith, of Nauvoo, son Of the
founder of Mormonism, publishes in the
Council Bluffs Nonpareil, 18th ult., long
letter defending the Mormon New Organi'

Smith quotes from the Book Of Covenants,
of his church, showing that it teaches and
requires that the husband shall have but
one wife, and he challenges public discus

Gay" Our mail system-if it can be So
callcd-is humbug, and as long ms we are
without the facilities of the Government
patronage, it will remain so. The only
mail that is any thing like regular, that
we have is the line from this to Waco and
Houston, and that is carried by the old
contractors on their own hook. In every
direction East and West Of us; no mails
are received or sent out; and North, We be-
licve, there is only weekly private mail
that goes as far rs Bonham. AS for our
Northern and Eastern friends we are total
ly in the dark rs to their existence even.
This state of things is greatly reiardng
the regular course Of business, and par
ticularly is it detrimental TO the printer;
and we hope soon 10 see it remedied, by the
substitution of U. S. mail routes in the
place of the present private arrangements.
We see some illusions in the Houston pa
pers about the expected arrival of the
mail agent for this State, but nothing def.
mite is yet known, of his where abouts.

es- We notice several articles in the

Bay. We notice several articles in the
Houston Telegraph Of the 18th urging the
Importance Of building the various proposed
railroads throughout the State, and par
ticularly the Central road, pointing in this
direction. That paper in connection there
with, notices an effort being made in Kan
sas to bring the railroad system of that State
and Missouri in Connection with the Gulf
Coast through the Indian Nation and North
crn Texas. We hope these railroad will be
built, and we intend to "keep it before the
people, to the extent of our ability; and
we urge our contemporaries every where
that are interested in their construction to
keep the subject before their rca lers. AS
we have so often said, we must have rail-
roads, and it is right and proper that we
should cast about us to see where we can
find the capital that will build them.

"rhe wheat regions of Texas, must be
be brought into railroad connection with
the Coast, what is being done, what can
he done, TO hasten the work? who will in
form us ? Let the railroad men answer"
Houston Telegraph
We hope you will keep these questions
before the reading community, and that the
"rairoad' men will take the hint. If they
neglect it TOO long they will loose golden
opportunity. We say that the coast cities
of Texas, if they would reap the rich har-
vest which lies invitingly oren 10 them,
must not delay this matter Of railroad con-
nection with Northern Texas. If they do,
there will be other channels sought, and
other and more energetic "railroad" men
will pluck the fruit that is now ripening.
TO be plain, we think that if we don't get
railroad connection with our own coast
cities, land VIC individually, would prefer
it,) the railroads pointing this way from
various points on the Mississippi will be
built, and that ct not q very distant day,
so stir up the business men of your cities
Mr.. Telegraph, News, Civilian, Bulletin,
&c. Our word forit, they won't regret max
ing investments in railroad to the "wheat

The n. o. Times says:

The very decided majority by which the
Mississippi Convention determined to abol-
ish slavery in that State will be to Presi-
dent Johnson n source Of moral support and
power which cannot easily be over-cstmat-
ed. 1t is not only direct approval Of the
Presidents reconstruction policy, but it is,
at the same time, nm evidence of wisdom.
1t declares, in the most impressive manner,
that the men who have undertaken the re-
organization Of the State under Union aus
pieces may be trusted, and it will be, to the
other States lesson and a symbol of good
faith. All honor the noble State Of Missis-
sippi for yielding with such unanimity to
the great demand of the nation and the
world. 1t is to be hoped that the gallant
people who suffered so much by the war,
will find in the new order of things, which
they have now legalized, n recompensc and
reward they little dreamed of. Prosperity
will come again, high independent firm
based prosperity, even though the peculiar
institution, and the prejudice it engendcr-
ed, are numbered with the things that were.

ADVANCE or TIE CHoLERA.-We are not
an al rm:st, but when danger in any shape
threatens our country and people, and we
become aware of its existence, it is our
bouuden duty to sound the note of warning
so that the threatening danger whatever it
be, when it does come, may not steal upon
us like thief in the night, and we
unprepared for its unwelcome visitation.
Several days ago we told our readers
that accounts from Europe showed the exis-
tence Of great excitement OH that continent
and on the British Isles, in consequence of
the ravages of the Asiatic cholera in Ara
bia and Egypt, and the advance westward
of that terrible disease. At the same time
we remarked that though the danger was
yet distant and the plague might not cross
the Atlantic this year, we ought to be pre-
pared for its coming.
1t is now announced that the horrible
scourge, although diminishing at Alexan.
drin and Cairo, in Egypt, is spreading at
Constantinople, has appeared at Malta, and
has broken out in England, in the great
central manufacturing town of Birming-
ham, where large numbers of persons have
been attacked with the loathsome disease.
With the vivid recollection we retain of the
dread scenes we witnessed on the occasion
of the first cholera visitation in our time,
we can easily imagine the alarm and ex-
citement these announcements have pro-
dnced throughout Europe, and especially in
the British Isles.
In view of the danger, yet distant, with
which we are threatened, we can but say to
our readers as we said before "There is
force in the old saying, AN ounce of pre-
vention is better than pound of cure
Don't be afraid-and do be clean. Every
body will be the better for seeing that his
house be in order, thatthe sanitary author
tiles about have not gone to sleep, and that
things be clean and sweet in his ncighbor-
hood. 1t will do no harm at all to have o
general securing and get the bad places in
to decent order; that is the best prescrip-
ton which experience gives, and which we
can repeat" -True Delta.

An INDIAN WAR PREDIcTED.-The

An INDIAN WAR PREDIcTED.-The St.
Louis Republican says:
All the accounts from the plains are to
the effect that before the coming winter we
shall have on hand the greatest Indian war
we have ever fought. Since the massacre
of the Cheyennes by Col. Chivington, the
Indians have been breaking out into con-
slant hostilities, and not n day has passed
for six weeks that the overland telegraph
wires have not been cut systematically Mt
points usually ten or fifteen miles apart
This is new feature, and indicates gene
raj concert of action on the part of the In
dian tribes.
Apropos of the above, the following ex-
tract from private letter, dated at Fort
Riley, Kansas says The Indians have
been very troublesome for severaldays, and
about thirty-eight or forty men of tho llth
Kansas Cavalry were murdered by them
near Fort Zarah in the vicinity of Fort
Riley, and they also captured train Of
military stores. The soldiers killed were a
part of the escort of the trains. The health
of the troops is generally good, and great
numbers are waiting their muster out.

We are informed by the Jefferson Bulle-
tin, on the authority ofn correspondent, that
Gen. Candy had said
off reasonable bids be submitted to the
Department for the transportation of the
mails, orders will be issual authorizing
temporary mail-service, without any NJ
necessary delay" By temporary service,
is meant service until Dec. 3lst. All the
routes will be advertised for re-lettin G,
from Jan. /, 1866.
The Bulletin adds:
"a prudent advance upon the contract
terms previous to the war, will probably
not be considered unreasonable by the Post
Office authorities. 1t will be well to have
the endorsement of some regularly appoint
ed county officer to the bids, before for
warding them
Now, then, "first come, first served" The
first who sends on reasonable bids, will get
the temporary contracts, stand good
chance to get the permanent ones, will
make money, and do good to the country

We don't think there is much use in the
radical press of the south keeping up its
insane cry for the trial and death of ex-
President Davis. There are no laurels to
be won by the exercise of cruelty. Queen
Elizabeth left black spot on her memory
by the execution of Queen Mary, which
time will never cfface the great Cromwels
dark spot was the murder of Charles l.;
the assassination of the due d 'Enghon will
stick like the shirt of Nessus TO the memo
ry of the first Napoleon till time shall be
no more; even the immortal Washington did
not come out scathcless for the death Of
Mai. Andre, though had Benedict Arnold
fallen into his hands, Andre would have
gone free. Had the revolution Of '7G proven
only rebellion, do these jackals dream
the mother country would have tried and
hung Washington for traitor, and let all
the rest go? The iden is too absurd for
consideration. True, Mr.. avis was cap
turcd rs refugee, but does that justify
any writer in the South to below for his
trial and hanging? Is there no respect due
to the feelings-right or wrong-of nine
teen-twenieths of the South, that these
would-be forccrs of public sentiment in
their very midst should so Justify cry out
"crucify him, cruc ty him, as thougi their
domicils were III Massachusetts or Rhode
Island? Is that the Cancellation which is
supposed to be the end of war? DO they
think the genera Government needs to
have some Bob Acres courage infused into
it-ne DIS TO be told there are mc1 even in
the very heart of rcbeldom who would APP
prove and applaud the trial and execution
Of Jefferson Davis? Do they suppose their
puerilc notes will be taken rs the voice Of
God? Bah! ones heart sickens at the
very idea. Modesty and these semi-judges
Of right and wrong-of justice an | mercy
have so long parted company, that they
know of no such virtue. When Aaron
Burr was acquitted over half century
ago, with all the influence Of President JEFF
ferson who was his successful rival for the
Presidency against him and anxious for his
conviction, we can have but little fear for
the fate of Mr.. Davis at this late day, how
ever much Tray, Blancl and Sweetheart
may bark, INSTRUMENTATION! -Hunts-
