MONDAY MORNING, MAY 2, 1866.
Texas Intelligence.

We passed a small negro boy the other day, sit
ting on the sidewalk and crying bitterly. We
asked him what was the matter. He said he was
sick and was suffering from several pains all over
him. He said he had no home, nor any one to
care for hme, as he had before freedom came.
Alas thought we, how many are suffering and
dying from the same cause.
Galveston News.
The News says a revival among the negroes is
going on in the neighborhood Of Galveston the
performances, at which usually continue till day
~ light, and are characterized by great physical and
'H' genital excitement, accompanied with groaning
,linging, laughing and yelling to the annoyance of
exhausted by morning that they have to be
removed from the church on drays and wagons.
a party of about twenty soldiers of the regiment
OF regulars, was arrested last Sunday, whilst on
the way to the negro church, where they ayoWdy
intended to interrupt the services which were then
progressing. They were arrested, we hear, by Il
guard from the regiment of which they are
members
Last Friday night, Captain Hooker, of the park
Melissa, was knocked down with sung-shot When
passing by the Merchants Cotton Press. rms
happened about O'Clock. The villain robped
him OF of his watch and left him weitering IN ms
blood. Capt II. says the man was apparently
well dressed. Capt H lis prepared 10 pay a iperai
reward for the arrest of the robber.
The Jefferson Jimplecute, speaking OF Its title,
about which so much curiosity has been mani
tested, says the name was dug out Of the ruins Of
Pompeii, and il supposed to nave been blown out
of Vesuyius two thousand years ago.

Let them bring their big guns,

All the rabid raddy's.
Of eighteen sixty-six.
Andy johnson knows ZEN,
Knows 'em like q book;
And vowed he would uproot 'em,
When his seat he took.
No black sheep in our crowd,
We will have none of that;
Find you one, and I'll agree,
That you shall take my hat.
Radicals, you know it,
You're spotted in this town, ... ..
Your platform too, is shaky,
And bound to tumble down.
What's the use of trying,
When you can't get in
Better be subsiding,
And save your surplus tin.
Here's luck to our sheriff,
Who but Harry Hays?
Confusion to the blockhead,
That aught against him says.
Gutenberg, for district
Attorney, is the man;
Let him get fair start,
And beat him, if you can.
Rogers and Trepagnier,
Braughn, aud Lemarie;
Have hosts of friends to back them
So they'll get in, you'll see.
There's Collins too, an old friend,
Has every mans good word;
So we can't DO without him,
In the glorious Old Third
Our Country is our motto,
Her veal, our end and aim
And we protest with all our might,
'Gainst the Radicals dark game.
Our firemen, God bless them,
VIII vote for us we know;
With heart and hand stand by US,
And make our ticket go.
Paying taxes is the mischief,
Oh it makes us all look blue;
But as we can't evade it,
Why, let's pay them to Askew.
Collecting-he who does it,
Has no sinecure, we know;
So our sympathy and vote Wen give,
To all who at it go.
OF all our able candidates,
Who can oHtvie Gourdain
Keen, shrewd and far-seeing, he is
For our side, the man.
Friends Woelper, Bond and Byerly,
To court are on their way;
Not one, will dare gainsay the fact,
There, well their part they'll play.
A word in favor of friend Lange,
And Fortier we must say;
There's not a fear, nor e'er a doubt,
But that they'll win the day.
We must have Viavant and Power,
They'll do us honor there,
Against them, he who pits himself,
Will find that he's 1tolCbere.
There's Feeny and there's Tracy too,
Have caught spanking breeze;
And we defy the radicals
To beat these nominees.
Go vote for Sith, We'll do the same,
With right hearty good will;
He's bound to be an alderman,
Who better, the role could fill?

report in the movement in the leading staple since
our last Offerings were of a restricted character
throughout, and the demand was mostly confined
to small lots for filling up previous purchases.
One list, 500 bales, barely good ordinary, was
taken at 3lC., however, and the balance was of
too restricted character to justify any actual
alteration in quotations As an indication of the
movement, we would remark however, that good
ordinary still rules at 3O@3lc., and low middlng
at 33@34c The total sales for the day were 900
bales, divided among five buyers.

A SPANISH VESSEL IN A TIGHT PLACE.

The Spaniards are beginning to find out that
doing anything with the Chilians on shore, or near
it, with their big ships even, is thankless job,
and one certain to be attended with fatal results
and disastrous defeat. In my last gave you a
report that the Blanca had been very roughly
handled by a heavy gun which the Chilians had
succeeded in placing on point commanding her
decks. This heavy gun appears to have been two
companies of infantry, and the attack was most
admirably managed. In very many places of the
coast of Chilli the water is deep close up to the
land; where this is the case the shore is bold
high cliffs OYerhang the sea or channel way so
that vessel may anchor in a position that when
she swings her sterIrwill be almost touching the
land, and person fifty yards in shore can look
down almost perpendiGularly upon her decks.
This was the case with the unfortunate Blanca
She anchored in just such a spot, and the Chians
on shore, seeing her position and knowing what
advantages it gave them, moved, during the even
ing two companies CT infantry to the point over
looking the vessels, and, placing them in ambus-
cadc, waited for daylight So close were they that
the commanding officer gave orders to his men to
rest their musketB and fire with deliberate aim.
On beard The Blanca nothing was suspected, and ut
the usual hour in the morning the hammocls were
"pIped up,n and while her crew were in crowds
upon the deck slowing them, muTderOu5 fire from
over two hundred muskets was poured upon them
at almost within the range of an ordinary pistol.
VI course panic was created, as the killed and
wounded fell on all sides, and a stampede took
pace for the lower decks. From her position the
snip could not bring gun to bear neither could

The only thing to be done was to get cat of the
