We are not becoming reconstructed very
fast. | tell you things are becoming
worse and worse. Our camps have been
fired into at night, and our patrols ana
sentinels have been fired upon. One man
has received justiee-thanks TO the sol,
diers. He was an influential citizen OF
Victoria was the Adjutant General OF
the State during the war; He boosted
TO some of his comrades that he was
going TO kill discharged Federal SOL
der who was about town; the next DAY
he met him in the street, and running
against him, knocked him off the side,
walk. The soldier turned round and
asked him what he meant. He replied,
with an oath, "Tll show you what l
mean" At the same time pulling out
his revolver, he shot the soldier dead.
He was arrested and put into jail TO
await his trial by the "ciyil court The
soldiers stationed in town went 10 the
Jail and told him through the WINDOW
that they were going TO hang MN al
eight O'Clock. At eight precisely he
was swinging-the only man that was
ever hung in Texas for murder, Their
idea of liberty here is liberty to kill and
murder according to inclination.
They rave about the ID radicals,
and talk about the injustice of keeping
their representatives out Of Congress,
Just as if they had been turned out, in
stead of going out themselves and then
fighting to stay out. We have received
orders lately to arrest all criminals, and
hold them until they can be tried by a
military commission as the civil courts
have failed to do their duty. Talk about

FIRE ALARM.-During the high wind
Thursday afternoon our citizens were
startled by the cry of Fire" The
alarm proved to come from the wood
shed Of the Rutland road, which had
caught fire from the sparks of a passing
locomotive. The fire was speedily ex-
tinguished without the aid of the en-
gines, and no damage was done save the
burning of little wood. We believe
this is the 18th time our fire department
have been called out within few years
to fire at this shed.-BUrlingtou Times.

TIE lEFLvx OF GoLD.-The anomaly
OF The shipment Of gold to America from
Buroge continues. The City OF Boston,
whica arrived on the 10th inst, brought
over 6-J0000, and the Hermann, from
Southampton, brought $4,000 The
cable :a.5rms Us that on the 9Th OF Sep
tembes ,ls Jura sailed with nearly 81,
100000 IN gold among her precious
freight This returning tide in gold
mus 0e attributed to some general and
important reaction abroad in favor Of
American securities and investments.
Meantime, the increased receipts Of gold
from California, Arizona, etc, are equally
remarkable. The receipts from San
Francisco since January of this year
have been over 500 100000 against some
100000 for the same period last year

TEK MAINE ELRCTIoN.-The first esti-
mate OF $4,000 Republican majority in
Maine was not far from right. Returns
received from 316 cities and towns give
Chamberlain 81, 215, and Pillsbury 3d.
$50, making Chamberlain's majority
25,29S. The same towns gave Governor
Couy, last year, 46,7S7, and Howard
26,979, CoDy's majority being l9,sOS'
The remaining towns gave Cony 7,643i
and Howard 1880, and surprising the
vote to be augmented in those as in other
towns, Chamberlain will get an addi'
tional $3.50 and Pillsbury 6,176, making
Chamberlains clean majority 29,076.
