white race in the British West India
Islands, us bad rs il is, would bo
happiness to ours; there the moth
cr country is interested in sustaining
the supremacy Of the European
race.
If Mr.. Calhoun had been proph-
ct, he could no more exactly have
predicted what is now taking place
And this is the party which claims
the possession of the Government,
and the working out ofthe destinies
of this great country Alas it will
be sad day for the Republic if they
succeed, One will almost be tempt
ed to doubt the capability of man
kind for sclfgovernment,
In comparison with the avowed
purposes of this party, how strange
iy apposite, and what significant
warning the opinions of Lord
Bacon, one ofthe most extraordinary
intellects OF the great Anglo Saxon
race, on the subject Of political in
novations. On this subject he says
1t were good that men in their
innovations would follow the eX'
ample of time, which, indeed, inno-
vateth greatly, but quietly, and by
degrees scarcely to be perceived
1t is good not to try experiments in
States, except the necessity be ur.
gent, or the utility evident, and
we'll to be aware that it be tho re-
formation that draweth on the
charge, and not the desire of change
that pretendeth the reformation
And lastly, that the novelty, though
it be not rejected, yet be held for q
suspect.
Between such wise counsels as
these, and the programme ofuniver'
sal negro suffrage of Mr. Boutwell,
what gulf!
If it be deemed proper to extend
the elective franchise to the negroes
every dictate of common sense and
common prudence would urge that
it should for the present go nc
further than an equality ofpolitica
right, leaving to each State to guard
the ballot-box with such tests Of
property or intelligence as it might
think expcdient to apply to all its
future voters.
But this docs not satisfy the Rad
icals. They demand universal ne
gro suffrage, and, from what MIR
Boutwell, said, they superadd tc
that the prescription ofall the whites
involved in the rebellion.
Great Britain has maintained hel
stable institutions for centuries
with the most wonderful stability
Her policy has been in the spirit o
Bacon's opinions.
America can only preserve hers
by pursuing much the same path
If.she follows the false lights o
Radical fanatcism, instead Of thu
political millennium promised hel
by these saints, she will find thu
grave of her liberties and the enc
Of her glory.

tor, when they are there by thou
sands, and are killed in such mum
bcrs that hogs are sometimes iatten'
ed on buffalo meat, We ate some
of the buffalo bacon, and unani-
mously decided that corn-made ba-
con is preferable, The streams
which feed the Great and Little
Wichita rivers are most OF them said
to bc brackish and impure, from the
mineral ingredients they contain in
solution, which has been a hindrance,
in part, to the settlement OF that
section. Good cisterns Of ample
dimensions, sufficient to contain all
the water needed for family use,
would emedy the difficulty, because
the waters of these streams are not
deleterious or dstasteful to horses,
cattle or buffalo. 1t is also highly
probable that wells throughout II
large extent of this country would
afford good water, for most OF the
streams become mincralized at their
sources in the copper and gypsum
hills. Good rain-water is, however,
the most healthy in any country,
and should always be preferred.
In the State geological collection
are numerous specimens Of copper
ore from Western and Northwestern
Texas, but as they are now mostly
without labels it is impossible to
specify their exact localities. From
the same region we also have. n
great many specimens OF Galena,
or sulphuret of lead, some Of which
seem to contain quite Il large per
cent of silver. We only mention
this that the people Of the State
may know that the unsettled west
ern and northwestern portions OF
the State are probably rich in val
liable ores; nor is there any reason,
from what we already know of their
geology, as deriven from reports
and specimens, why they should
not prove to be equally as rich in
mineral resources as the ncighbor-
ing country of Mexico.
On the upper Red River, lying
partly in Texas and partly in the
Indian Territory, is the largest
gypsum formation known. 1t is
about $50 miles long and from 100
to 80 miles broad. 1t is said to cx-
tend down the river to about forty
miles north Of Preston. This vast
deposit will yet prove to be a great
source of wealth to the State, afford
ing valuable fertilizer to all sandy
clay soils within its borders, or in
those other States. The use of this
article with red clover has increased
the value of many farms in the old
States ten fold. IL is also used ex.
tensively to give q hard finish tc
walls, and is often called Plaster o1
Paris.

The RefntermGnt Of COnfede-
rate Soldiers.

At Georgetown, Ky, on the 18th
September, was very affecting af-
fair. There were ten bodies, among
whom two were from Texas, viz :
Capt. John Black, First Texas Reg
iment, and Wm. Tanehill, Gano's
Texans. These men were captured
and killed by the Federal troops
under Col. Burbridge, and two OF
them were deliberately executed in
retaliation for the killing of a Union
man by the Confederates. The cir
cumstance has left a painful. inter
est in Scott County, and there was
very large concourse at the cere-
mony of re-interment, as a letter
says, "without reference to parties
or creed. Men who fought in the
Federal army and those who fought
in the Confederate ranks Joined in
paying the last sad tributes to the
unfortunate dead.
The procession consisted of a
handsome car, drawn by six white
horses, and escorted by twenty-four
pail bearers; upon the car were
placed the coffins containing the
mouldering remains of the heroic
dead; Immediately in the rear, in
an open carriage, rode the orators
of the day and Mr.. Wooten, of Har-
din, the aged father of one of the
youths executed by order of Gen
Burbridge, and whose corpse was
upon the car; then came citizens
on foot, then citizens on horseback
then the carriages and other vehi'
cles, not less that two hundred in
all making the procession over a
mile in length.
After reaching the graves, Elder
/ Gano made an earnest and touching
PRAYER, after which Elder McGinn
delivered q beautiful, eloquent, and
touching discourse.
The Cincinnati Gazette endeav'
ors to turn the demonstration into
a disloyal movement, and does moi
scruple to manufacture facts for the
purpose. 1t says:
"Ex-rebel soldiers, rebel sympa
thisers, &c, to the number of five
or six thousand, formed the funera
cortege. Basil Duke rode at the
head of about three hundred mount
ed men. formerly of Morgan's com
mand. and the widow of the latter
occupied carriage in the procession
The rebel soldiers, and many Others

/ ton. wore red white and red badg.
es. Two orations were delivered
one by Rev.Mr. Holland, foEperly

One Of the "Tried Patriots"

Among the itinerant so-callcd
lovalsts Of the South who are now
filing the role of neutrality-suspicious.
of radicalism in the Northern States
is A. J. Hamilton, who is unsparing
in his abuse of President Johnson.
General Butler, and all other emil
ncHt criminal lawyers, tell us that
it is competent TO show to the court
the character Of the witness in all
points affecting his crcdibility.
Now. Jack Hamilton arraigns
President Johnson as the embodi-
mcnt of moral and political turpi
tude But what is Jacks record ?
We will not reproduce the charges
made against him by the press in
those States where he is better
known than in Washington, but
will only transcribe police record
made one year ago in this city,
which will at least show that the
title Of "tried" patriot belongs
rightfully to him. He was tried by
one Of our police magistrates.
On the record of the police hooks,
Seventh Precinct, CITY Hall, J we
find that on June 18th, 1865, an ar
rest was made of A. j. Hamilton,
agc II years, white American, oc-
cupation "Governor," married, can
read and write; charge disorderly
gathering, on complaint of Officer
VIM. Johnson and others. In this
case, on the night of June 18th,
1868, Sergeant Eckloff, with police
officers Grant, Fuss, Lewis, How
ard, Kelly and Brewer, made a
''raid" on the notorious houses of
! i'll fame at Nos. 10 and IL Marble
Alley, kept by Kate Geogrc and
Annie Dean, and large number Of
dissolute persons, male and female,
were apprchend and taken to the
station house at City Hall. Justice
Walter dismissed the male culprits
ard fined the females $5 each.
A. j. Hamilton, Governor of Tex
rs, was one of the "tried patriots"
on this interesting occasion. Ham
ilton was taken to the stationhouse
in carriage with four dissoluto fo-
males, and his high rank as Mill
Governor and a "firc-tried patriot
might possibly have led to the dis
missals of the masculine members
of that disrcputable company

From the Washington %. C) Intelligencer
DisfranchisGment OF Whites In
the South and EnfranciliSh-
ment of Negroes,

Within the last five years we
have set free four millions If slaves,
and given them perfect civil equal
ity.
To Toaccomplish this we have passed
through one of the most terrible
convulsions of which history takes
note. We have carried on the most
gigantic war ever known. We have
sacrificed at least q half million OF
lives. We have expended fabulous
amounts of treasure. Wehave con-
tracted a debt of over three thousand
millions of dollars, practically,
owing to the high rate of interest,
the largest national debt in the
world We have loaded our country
with burden of taxation under
which it reels and staggers. We
have filled continent with sighs
and tears and agonies, and hung
the very heavens in black.
Is it not time to pause, to take
breath, to staunch. the wounds of
the body-politic, to recuperate, to
restore peace and harmony, and
show some concern for our material
interests, to begin to make haste
slowly in further social reforms P
1t would seem so. Yet there is a
party in this country who refuse to
stand still moment; who ere
keeping on to still further and more
radical reforms-a party who de-
mand universal negro suffrage.
The speech of Mr.. Boutwell,, of
Massachusetts, in opposition to the
adjournment of Congress, throws a
flood of light on the purp ses of the
Radicals. Referring to the, then
approaching assemblage of the So
called Louisiana Convention, he
stated in substance that that Con-
vention weuld disfranchise the reb-
els and confer the elective franchise
on the negroes. What excitement,
what agitation, what hatred, what
a brood of convulsions are prefig-
ured in such a programme as this
and if it is carried out, as it certain
| ly will be if this party have the
power. what future is before us
/ A war of races, civil war the nor
NAL condition Of society, the couh-
try treading in path that leads but
to despair, to the prostration Of the
productive industry of the country,
to the impossibility of free institu-
tons, TO the protecting sword fthe
conqueror, and the gulf of national
bankruptcy.
But il is in vain you present this
truthful picture to the fanatics who
are marching on. They will answer
you in some such imperative form
ofripid moral logic as this: "Ail
men are by nature created free and
equal. and therefore universal
suffrage must be given TO the ne
groes." The philosophy of this ia
natical party drives them forward,
and they could not pause if they
would -

being effected, We should find the
