VINO ARE TRUE TO TIE SoUTu?-Under this heading
the Memphis Bulletin of the Goth ult, says every
in the south who would not sacrifice prejudice to
sustain president johnson, is traitor to bis country
Let Johnson fail to eoDsummate his plans, let the
south betray him-then Stevens, Sumner and Chase
are supreme We shall have satraps instead of COVER
nors chosen by the people. In all these States-gar
risons, in every city and hamlet poverty shall become
helpless beggary. Property will be confscated and
the mastery of the south transferred to the blacks
STILL it is true, that an Andrew johnson conserv-
alive party socaed for fear Of offending preiudces
and losing votes, dares not approve specific acts and
measures of Andrew johnson. johnson has shown
that he bad more wisdom than ourselves Why not
confess it? lie is certainly as generous to the SOUTH
the SOUTH victorious would have been to him. He
demands nothing more than the stakes we PLAYED for
He was winner it appears Let US pay up fairly. Let
him wear the palm for generosity; aye, for common
honesty, if there be no such sentiment as graft
tude He is truest to the south who supports, With
unsefsh devotion, the administrative acts and policy
OF the president"

State occupying three four weeks, gives the follow
ing attering prospects, as the result of his obser-
vations:
Yet the most fatterng feature Of observation pre-
scented trip is the universal exhibition of agr
cultural industry Everywhere the people unusu-
ally forward with their preparation for the incoming
crop. The largest plantations, well as the least
patches are in forward condition, and prosecuted
with vgilant and determined industry. We are can
ddly of opinion that, favorable from what
have seen and heard that the crop of 1866 will turn
out larger yield Of both and cotton than of any
former year in Texas. Some respondent apprehen-
sions are however entertained of the unreableness of
free labor in anticipation of the season. yet we
feel encouraged from the present example of their
cheerfuness and seeming Willingness to labor for slip
uated wages part interest in the crops In justice
to the freedmen and truth of history must say we
have not met with any unemployed negroes during

CoTroN REcEIrrs.-Thero is a perceptible falling
OF in all kinds Of business at this place Tie sud
denuess with which this took place is owing, doubt
70 the action Of the treasury department in the mat
ter Of cotton permits. All of business is to a
great extent, predicated upon the safe convoy Of
cotton and obstacles thrown in that direction com
petely parayses all branches Of trade The actions Of
the treasury agents in the premises have been severely
criticised and broad hints afoat that something Is
"rotten in Denmark" The matter has been takeI in
hand ~ some parties deeply interested and We viii
have to wait patiently the result of the issue. In the
meantime cotton is seeking other ports for shipment
as Shreveport at this time is looked upon anything
but safe place for cotton. Rumors are afoat that
all the cotton in the hands of planters above the raft
has been seized We don'tknow but what it would be
better to bring in all the cotton and give up at once
than to be dalying with it all next season. Il all the
old crop is not in before the crop on, .he
chances are the latter might accidentally be taken FOR
the former, and be gobbled up, too.
