WHAT GENERAL JEFF. THOMPSON SAYS.
Jcir. Thompson, late a general i'll the Con-
fcdcratc army, writes the following letter
10 the editor of the Messenger at MCkin-
ncy, Texas:
Dear Sir,-Your paper Of the 18th Ill
timo has just reached nac, and | observed
the card Of my house, and also the edito-
rial notice. | suppose some friend or ac-
guaiuiaLcc instructed YOU 10 insert our
card. and | have 10 doubt but that You
meant to do me a kindness by your COM
mcnt>; whether you have, however, done
50 or not is Il question. 1t you and your
paper have been fairly, Squarcly, and no.
ncstlv consistent for the past five years,
then YOU may benefit me but if you have
been one of those miserable creatures that
we're neither cram, lamb, sheep, nor nut
tom during the terrible war which has 80
lately dcSolatcd my country, then your
Unioni>m is not worth a copper, and your
notice will iniurc rather than serve me
among the brave Texans who were truly
southern, and with whom only | expect 10
deal.
For the FcdcralS WHO met me in battle,
anu NlioHtb bitI aI' - "'Ah'
| have respect; but for the would-hc-winc
men Of the South who "kncw the COW
would cat the grindstonc" ] have the
most perfect contempt.
Jrti. don't "say the Yankees beat him
fighting" Jcll. don't ">ay that he has
been most gloriou>ly whipped by the
Union truops,''-but General Thompson
says, that by "vcrpowcring numbers i'll
front, and enemies in disguise in the rear,
the Confederate troops were compelled 10
surrender, and that, following the example
OF his great leaders, he is disposed TO he
an humble citizen of the United States
without sacrificing one jot of his pluck y
or honor.
Believing that you meant TO do me a
favor by your notice, | thank You for il,
hu, not knowing your antccedcnt>, fear
YOU have done me no good, unless you
were an honest Federal soldier.
"Jeti.' will be pleased 10 see his Texas
friends when they visit this city, and he
will try 10 make one part of your notice
true by selling them all the groceries they
desire.
| AIN yours, most respectfully,

the members were unanimous IN their re-
commentator Of the Springfield rifle. 1t
is not alone in this country, says the he
publican, that the Springfield rifle is now
in favor. Louis Napoleon, while casting
about for the most effective arm for his
army came to the same conclusion with
our own board Of examination, and an
agent of the French Government lately
bought of a Philadelphia machini>t a full
set Of the machinery needed for the man
ufacturc of the Springfield rifle, for one
hundred thousand francs in gold, and
shipped it to France. This was before the
report of our examiners recommending
the addition of the Bcrdan improvement
had been made, and one Of the rifles with
that improvement is now being made, and
will be sent TO France at once rs a pat
