BDMr. Roverchon, living near Rc-un-
ion, in this County, has kindly presented
us with basket of the most lusc GUS fruit
VIC have seen since VIC have been in Texas,
consisting principally Of mammoth ripe
aud juicy peaches, of various kinds which
cannot be beat in any country; also some
large yellow plums of delightful favor, and
a quantity of Almonds, the latter great
rarity in this country as every one knows,
lin fact being the first that we have. ever
seen in the original hull as taken from the
tree. These were all grown at Mr.. RS
place few miles from this place, and are
substantial proof Of what can be done in
the fruit raising line, in Northern Texas,
where care and cultivation is bestowed up
on the orchard.

From the Paris Press.
Education.

EpIToR PARIS PREss.-Some two months
since communication, in the form of Il
suggestion, appeared in the Prsss, setting
forth the propriety of Convention of
School Teachers, to be held in Paris on the
first Monday in July.
In view Of this, the undersigned request
cd the Press to invite the said Convention
10 meet in the Paris Female Iniiitute, on
the day proposed, and at the hour Of two
o'clock, L. NJ.
Pursuant TO the above, six Of the Teach
ers met. but as the number was so small,
and all from Paris and the immediate Vi
cinity, it was proposed that in view Of the
high considerations involved, it would be
better to defer the Convention until fu-
ture period, and give further notice through
the medium Of the papers, friendly to the
cause Of education.
Surely. Mr. Editor, the Interests involved
in education should elicit the attention Of
all, and especially Of those engaged IN
teaching society is in a transition state
lite foundations are broken up and 1t is be-
ing remodled. Hence the importance that
attaches to it at the present time. A proper
course Of instruction should be indicated
text books should be settled-a course Of
discipline should be adopted; and the char
acter and qualifications Of teachers should
not by any means be overlooked.
These are some Of the subjects that will
properly come before the Convention, and
nsne can regard them as Of minor import
ance.
The second Monday in August, (l3th) At
2 o'clock T. a., is the tine proposed for
thcmeeting Of the Convention

The Dallas Herald continues to tantalize
us with accounts of the splendid Texas -four
of that region. Why don't some of the
millers ship lot to Galveston Glreston
Crilian.
Hold on q while, friend Stuart, We intend
to keep our promise Of giving you chance
to enjoy at least one good bait of our -four.
The Civilian adds;
"The Herald acknowledges that the wheat
crop was short in that vicinity, yielding, in
some cases, only about l6 bushels to the
acre. This ought to do for q failure; but
rs was expected and hence the disappoint-
ment.
''The Springfield Journal says that.it is
coming to be question with the farmers Of
Illinois, whether wheat is not the poorest
paying crop thatcan be raised in that Sta,el
This season, in Central and Northern Illi-
nos, the crop vii be light, and in many
localities the fields willnot justify harvest.
In some of the counties north the same
thing has been true for years, and the story
of poor crops is becoming old. The statis-
tics show the average to be from nine to
eleven bushels.
"Texas can drive all such wheat from
the market"

Rcg~The attention of Post Masters and
others who can furnish the desired infor-
nation, is invited to ~ following which
we find in the Galveston News:
PosTAL.-We have only been able, after
getting all the assistance to be had at this
post-oficc, to add some dozen or two of new
nostofices to the list We have heretofore
published. We now give the list as full as
we can make it out. 1t is matter Of great
Importance not only to all postmasters and
publishers Of papers, but to the people at
large, that early and correct Information
should be published of all the new mails
that are put under contract and all the
postotfices that are opened. The Depart
ment at Washington does not give this IN
formation TO any postmaster or other OHIO
ial ia This Stale, and the only means by
which any postmaster can get such infor-
nation is by mere chance, or by seeing the
official letter in the Department directed
to some newly appointed postmaster:
1t has, therefore, been suggested that for
the benefit of all, each postmaster will adj
wise the Chief Distributing Postotiice Of
the State, which is the postofce of Calves
ton, of all new postolfices and mails within
his knowledge. If each postmaster will
do this. the postmaster of Galveston informs
us that he will thereby be able to complete
pretty full and correct list of all the post
offices opened and the mail routes placed
under contract in the State, and will give
such lists to the papers for publication. 0f
course we, land other publishers also) will
not only publish such lists gratuitously,
but gladly for the general good Of the whole
country. A present, postmasters are greatly
embarrassed, particularly those at import
ant points, how 10 make a proper distribu-
ton of mail matter so that it may reach
its destination with the least delay.

nynOur readers are referred to the letter
of Robert X. Smith, President of the U. S.
Direct Tax Commission for Texas, which
We publish on the outside of to-day's pa
per, from the Galveston News. The letter
was brought forth by the controversy that
is going on between Mr.. Smith and Mr..
Coleman, and gives more information on
the subject than we have been able to gain
from any source heretofore.
1t will be seen that this section Of the
State is under the control of Hon. Albert
II. Latimer of Red River County, one of the
Commissioners for the State, and to satisfy
the people of this and the surrounding
Counties, we have positive and reliable as
surances that Mr. Downing, the Collector
now among us, is the duly accredited agent
for the counties which he claims. There is
no conflict Of authority as 10 this section of
thu State; oil the trouble or misurder-
standing that has occurred is between Mr..
Smith and Mr.. Coleman, and is local en-
tirely in the Southern section.

TERs.-As already. stated Govern
lnentIis preparing to proceedagainst
delinquent and defauiting Postmas-
tcrs in the lately rcbellious States.
The total amount Of this. class of in
dcbtedness is about 100000, of
which 100000 has been paid on do
mamds, and nearly the same amount
put in process Of collection. The
general defence set up by such Post
masters, is that they should be cred
tied with the stamps which they
turned over to the Confederate Gov
eminent. Mr.. Cohen. Of Savannah
member elect to the, House of Rep
rcscntatives, claims over 500. 900 and
Mr.. Galloway, Of Memphis, over
$4,000. The Postmaster at Mobile
pas paid over $4,000 under protest,
intending to institute a suit for its
recovery. 1t is generally believed
that nearly the whole amount can
be collected, as the Government will
have the advantage Of very strin
gent attachment law passed in view
Of such Indebtedness.

"TmE LADIES oME."--This is the title
of a very beautiful quarto paper published
in Atlanta, Ga, and edited by DR.. Thomas
Powell and Mrs. L. Virginia French. 1t is
splendid specimen of typography-much
finer than any of the Northern literary pa
pers, except perhaps the Round Table, and
quite equal to that. Its contents are ex-
celent. Knowing very well that first
rate literary and mechanical excellence
was attainable at The South, We have al
ways inclined to be, perhaps, too much
dissatisfied with anything which fell below
that standard. But "The Ladies' Home"
leaves nothing to be desired, and can be
taken by Southern women without their
feeling that they are making any sacrifice
to sustain home endeavor, but with the as
surance that they are getting something
more perfect every way after its kind than
they could obtain elsewhere. Price S. per
annum. Address 7. S. Powell, Atlanta,

The people of our city and county can
now SEQ the consequence OF eleyating TO
position such radicals MS l.. DEGESER, who
is travelling though the North denouncing
our people as dsloyal to the government,
and as full of all manner of wickedness.
Say what you will, these denunciations
have their Injurious effect by misleading
the public mind in the North, and thus
creating a prejudice against our State of u
most injurious character. This fanatic is
wholesale is his stabs of our people, he
makes no exceptions-all arc traitors ac-
cording to what he has stated. Now, if
there were the least excuse or coloring for
this unsparing denunciation Of the people
Of Texas rs disloyal, we could make some
allowance for such a onc-sided, ultra fanat-
ic as Degencr. But there is none. The
people of Texas are perfectly loyal to the
government of the United States; they are
only disloyal to the Radicals in Congress
who are waging war upon the Constitution
and the President, and who are seeking to
degrade one entire section of the country
by deprivng them of their incontestibie
rights under the COnstitution.-,Sdn An-

A. STEAM-CARRIAGE on BROADWAY.
Persons who were on Broadway
Tuesday afternoon were surprised
by the appearance on that thorough
fare of vehicle propelled by steam.
The carriage was abont eight or
ten feet in length, with iron wheels,
and had two seats lcngthwise, with
comfortable cushions and backs. 1t
was occupied by half a dozen men,
and was operated by one man, who
acted both as an engineer and guide.
There was very little uoisc, and
nothing to denote its specially cx-

4 FAIR After the battle
of Springfield, Mo-; old General
Price sent an officer 70 the comman-
der ct tho Federal forces TO arrange
for an exchange of prisoners. The
officer was conducted to the Fede-
rll headquarters, and was cordially
received by the General, whom he
was well known. The exchange
,yas soon agreed upon and effected
all but one Dutch Captain, whom
the rebels had over. The General
remarked that il was no use to take
one prisoner back, and that be had
better be thrown in for good count.
The rebel officer remarked that no
saw a very fine mule as he passed
through the camp, and that he
would give the Dutchman for that
mule. The General sent for the
mule and the exchange was conclu-
jcd-the rebel officer esing on on
the best mule the Federals had.

TO cooperate with q committee from Falls
county, 10 confer with the President or
Managers of the Texas Central Railroad,
and TO represent the motives and feelings
of the people of that section with regard
TO the extension of the road to Waco.
mass meeting of the citizens Of McLcnnan,

main trunk by that point cannot be offered
to the company:
in the neighborhood of Horn Hill; another
is 10 tap somewhere below or near Marlin
and run up the river bottom, crossing at
Rock Dam, and third TO run the road up
tho east side of the river, making depot
at East Waco. Our farmers should think
about this matter, and make up their
minds 10 act with energy and promptness.
The citizens of Falls, Bell and Bosquc
counties are earnestly solicited to join in
this enterprise. '-G0L. Nelrs
We haven't the slightest objection to the
people of Waco getting the Central Rail
road to run TO their enterprising little
city; nay, if We were citizen thereof We
should be n strong advocate Of it, and we
applaud the object of the meeting above
alluded to and hope that it will be success
ful,-not in taking the main branch of the
road TO that place however, but in building
branch, or tap road to the Central at
Horn Hill or anywhere along the line Of
that road. We want the Central Road, if
it ever gets started up the country again,
to follow its surveyed or located line, and
thereby give somo assurance to its friends
of former years, that it means to carry out
the objects for which it was chartered. We
do not ask it to do anything, or build Its
road on any line, that would injure the
prospects of any section; but simply that
it will comply with, what VIC believe to be
the object when it was chartered; and that
was to build a railroad from Houston to
Red River, at or near Preston, in Grayson
county, following an air line, as near as
the nature of the country would permit.
