In Is STATED that an Anglo-Parsee firm at Cal
outta are preparing to establish direct trade be-
tween that city and New Orleans. !
We suppose that the line will be managed not
only with economy but with Parsee,money-mo
especially as the owners are E.stingy-men.
MISUNDERSTANDING the letters advertised in
the Houston Telegraph, as remaining in the post
Office of that city on the LIST inst, we see one au
dressed To any pretty and accomplished laay'
Now. Houston abounds in these, and it must GER
tainly have been tantalizing to the postmaster to
Iaove II IN him to decide to which of the conse-
ouently numerous applicants for it he ought to
deliver it and yet more tantallzlng must II nave
been to those who do not get to be lett TO guess
at its contents. Perhaps it contained the likeness
of some amorous swain, with poetieal tribute
from his ready pen to the beauty and accomplish
ments of woman in general perhaps it contained
a direct intima ton of his earnest desire to take
forthwith to wife any pretty and accomplished
i lady. y who would consent to wed him, on the
strength of his own recommendation. And what
may not be his merits Fancy the lands, the
wealth, the personal attractions the manners, the
eouipages, the jewels, the amiability, the con.
stancy of affection, that may thus have been
offered to /" any pretty and accomplished lady
who may have been lucky enough to receive the
missive, and lost to her less fortunate sisters
But then, again. it may have contained homily
on the dangers with which pretty and accom-
plished women are beset, and warning agains
listening " to the voice of the charmer charm h
never so wisely" concluding with the move

the editors of the San Antonio Herald gives
notice that they intend to undertake the
task Of furnishing full and reliable par

Of that country through the columns of

this the Junior editor of the paper will 20
to Mexico, expressly to furnish the above
information, in series Of we'll and care
fully written letters penned from personal
observation on the spot, which will be FREQ
from oil bias or prejudice in all respects,
not written with a view to encourage or
discourage immigration, but solely to furn-
ish particular and stubborn facts in detail
for the guidance Of those who contemplate
migrating thither. Believing that the
above information will be sought by many
persons wishing to settle in some portion
Of that new empire, the editors offer it as
an inducement for large increase in the
circulation of their paper, the San Antonio
Weekly Herald, which is furnished at So
per annum, currency or 81 specie. Club

The unhindest kind of cutting Of all is
that INDUCED by some Southern editors in
accusing the New York News of interested
motives in its long continued, often hazard
GUS, and always consistent support of the
South. Amy one who reads the News can
sec that it is actuated by principle-that it
heartily believes the doctrines which il de-
clarcs and defends. No doubt its feelings
have been aroused by Southern suffering;
but that certainly cannot be imputed rs
crime. The charge referred to is very
thoughtlcss, and unjust. The editors who
make it may honestly differ with the News
as TO the best mode Of serving the South,
but we do not ses how they can honestly
charge it with sinister intentions. The
South needs friends just now, and we should
be glad to see all her people, and especial
ly her press, act so as to deserve them

Bt5'Thc Houston Telegraph of the 11th
publishes the entire Constitution Of the
State as amended by the recent Convention
1t is lengthy document. In noticing the
changes cdi,orially, the Telegraph says:
"unlsss this Constitution is ratified, We must be
governed by military law, since former Cons
tion has in several important particulars, been
thrown by act CT war"
Such is not our Understanding. The Con-
vention adopted the Constitution as it was
in force on the 28th day of January, A. d.
1861, with the follrwi g changes, viz: the
Ordinance entitled Freedmen adopted az
substitute for article 8th; the Ordinance
declaring the War Debt void, and for other
purposes; the Ordinance assuming the Uni
ted States Direct Tax; and the Ordinance
on the subject Of Secession; and striking
out Article XIII, =" schedule" Sec. 2, of Ar
ticle XII, and Sec. SO, of Article VII, of the
old Constitution. Thus far, rs we under
stand it,ssthe action of the Convention was
final, and is not submitted to the people
All other ordinances and amendments aiop-
ted by the Convention are submitted to the
people for their acceptance or rejection.-
So, whether these amendments ore accepted
or not, We will have, and have to-day, q Con-
stitution which is to govern us.
We are o little surprised that the so gen.
orally well informed editor of the Telegraph
should have been led into this error.
The editor notices the following as the
most important changes proposed in the
amendments:
Petty offences may, If the Legislature chooses, be
tried without jury.
legislator must have resided Ave years in tn.
State before his election.
Section 25 Of the Legislative Department covers
tho provisions In the old Constitution more fully than
before and hope fully enough to prevent the Lo-
pisst.e from sending Of its own members to the
United States ssDate.
Tho compensation OF members OF the Legislature
is fixed at eight dollars per day In 1861 1t WAS
thrce dollars and afterwards five dollars. The add-
tion is but just provided men whose services are
worth eight dollars are always elected
The Judiciary Department has been entirely re-
modelled and is vastly improved. The reader will
notice the principal changes at once. They go to
Increasing the dignity AS we'll as availability OF tho
courts for the settlement of difficulties, and arc
worth all the other amendments put together.
Tho term Of office of Governor is IN rde four years,
in place OF i've His salary is raised TO $1,000, in
stead of $1,000.
Section 81 Of General Provisions iegalizss such
new counties as have been organized having a less
area than required.
Section &c is all new, and is important, as It gives
tho Legislature the power to guarantee the bonds of
railroads for the purchase OF iron
Section 81 provides for convention TO amend the
Constitution, when needed.
Article VIII, regarding freedmen, 10 all new, Of
course, and judicious.
Article Y is also almoat new, and is exceedingly
we'll devised. and, doubt not, will DO of great i'd
vontage to the people of the State.

Camp street. Terms, ore year SIS. six

copies, 80 cents, payable in advance.
We have received No. l. Vol. l, Of the
above new Southern Monthly for April,
1866. It's a handsomely gotten up peri
odical Of Sc pages, very much after the
style Of the old Southern Literary Messen-
ger, but much larger and containing con-
siderably more reading matter. Its regu-
lar contributors comprise sll Of the most
celebrated southern writers, AMONG whom
We might mention VIM. Gilmore Simms,
Hon. Jno. Forsyth, Jno. r. 1hompson Esq,
formerly Of the Southern Literary Mes
senger,) Col. Paul H. Hayne, Geo. Fl. Meek
Miss Augusta Evans, and many others Of
less notoriety. The following is the table
OF contents Of the first number. The Gers
stitution of the universe Aspasia; Deadly
Dash; The Century Plant. The Bewitched
Farm, part |; Mrs. Gaskill; Why; An Cd
Story; Owls; DR.. Diapers Civil Policy in
America On Top Of London Omnibus;
Eclecticism; Editorial Notices, and Litera-
ture.
We take peculiar pleasure in announcing
the appearance of this new candidate for
ready to recommend it to our readers after
seeing the first number. 1t is entirely
worthy Of the liberal support of the South
a.I 70
large circulation all over the South. The
following is the Introductory note Of the
editor.
nWith few words we now offer the CREs-
CENT MONTHLY to the public, apologi.ing
only for the unavoidab delay in its ap-
pearance. The difficulties of establish
ing such an enterprise in the South are
greater than will be supposed, but they
been overcome by perseverance and hard
labor, and we now enter the feld-the
youngest adYsnturer among the montblies-
confidently expecting TO occupy a promi-
nent place in the literature of our country.
Although others have a long start ahead,
and have the Advantage of age and popu-
larity, we hope ut no distant day to take
our place beside them, and to unite out la
Dor with theirs in the good work Of eleyat-
ing the character Of American literature
Following the example Of older Magazines,
we shall endeavor to be faithful repre-
sentative Of the public sentiment Of the
section in which we reside; and, Mt the
same time, our object and aim will be to
make IN entertaining and instructive work
ono that can be read with pleasure and
profit throughout the land. How far we
can succeed in this, the Magazine itself
must tell. Upon its merits alone we rest
all claim to patronage, without asking sym
patty, because it is n Southern work, with
out any appeal to a sectional spirit, feeling
assured that il will find patrons enough on
account Of it's own intrinsic worth. What
nors need be said7 Examine the work
read it carefully-criticise it clOsely-and,
il it wins your approval, let us add your
nams 10 our list Of subscribers. In these
few words we have made our bow to the
public and conclude our saiutation with
the insurance that, henceforth, our relations
with it shall be permanent and mutually
satisfactory.
