Major General 0. o. Howard Commissioner of the
Frecdmen's Bureau has received copy of an ad
dress to the freedmen of Texas, promulgated by Gov
A }. Hamilton, of that State The Governor re.
ferring to the late rebellion, says:
During that terrible struggle you remained quiet
and peaceful spectators, although you knew that
your freedom or continued slavery depended on
the result. You disappointed both friends and
and Christian reliance on the wisdom and Justice
of Gods providence, which has elevated you in the
opinion Of good men in every part of the civilized
world. This is to-day your best treasure. and /
wish you to preserve it. The character which Won
have thus made together with your freedom is your
wealth. L am most anxious that you will once more
disappont those who predict evil of you and fearing
mat you might be misled by the counses of bad or
wicked men, feel it my duty TO you to all of the
people of Texas and to the Government of the United
Government. "
lie informs the colored people that they are free
ana that freedom means for you that you have the
TgAt to labor for an honest living, the right obey
the great command food to all men, to earn in the
sweat OF their face, their daily bread; the right to
work for yourselves and receive the full reward of
your labor. This is all that freedom means for any
people,"

attractive, and to point it out admirably adapted
for large Summer Hotel. The surrounding neigh
borhood abounds in pleasant walks, shady drives and
delightful prospects.

refuge in a back room, following him all the time

one shot taking effect above the left ear and passing
through on the other side of his head, killing him
instantly Inc negroes, upon perceiving that their

found on his person by Coroner Erickson, was

other and hence many believe that this act prompted
