Below is complete list of the men who
professed to represent Texas in the Radical
Convention at Philadelphia. Cut it out
and preserve it. Let it be recollected that
these men favored the imposition of unre-
strcted negro suffrage upon the South,
and exhausted the language of misrepre-
sentation and abuse in regard to the South
ern people. Even now the most of them
are travelling through the North doing their
utmost to excite the already heated passions

Gen. Lees Saddle.

The beautiful and elegant saddle
and bride which was received in
this city about the time of the sur
render of the Confederate armies,
and about which so many spccula-
tons and inquiries have been made
among our citizens, have at last
reached Gen. Lee, as will be seen by
the following note, which has been
shown to us by the gentleman to
whom it was addressed.
LEXINGTON, VA, Sept. 3, 1866.
Ny Dear Sir In announcing to
you my reception of the saddle
sent to me by Mr.. Connolly, of En-
gland, permit me to thank you for
the care you took of it, and the
measures adopted for its prcserva-
ton.
Notwithstanding its exposures
and risks, it has reached me in safe
~ and good condition. The trap
pings are a little injured, and the
steel mountings little rustcd, but
the saddle in all respects is uninjur-
I'd, and | know the generous donor
will be pleased to hear that it has
reached its destination.
request that you will express
to tho gentleman who co-opcratcd
with you in preserving it, my ac-
acknowledgements for their kindness,
and believe me, very respectfully,
Your obcdicnt servant,

v the CoMMANDANT AT FORTRESS
MoNRoE.--The telegraph has in,
formed us that Gen. Miles, com
Inanding at Fortress Monroe, has
been succeeded by Gen. Burton, for
merly of the Third United States
Artillery. We learn from tho Rich
mond papers that the change is re-
gartlcd as fortunate for Mr.. Davis
hy those who arc acquainted with
the now commander. 1t is stated
that in 1862, General (thcn Maior)
Burton was in command ut Fort
Delaware, and while he carried out
strictly and conscicntiously all rules
necessary TO the safekeeping Of the
Confederate prisoners there, he
treated them with a consistent kind
ness and liberality which caused his
removal 70 be deeply and generally
regretted.
The impression is, says the Dis
pach, that under Gen. Burton's
charge Mr.. Davis will be treated
with the consideration and respect
due to tho dignity and purity of his
character and the magnitude of the
suffcrings which he has born with
so much patience and heroic forti-
tu.lc.
The detachment and departure of
General Miles has not been attend
cd by a. single regret on the part of
the distinguished prisoner, or the
millions who sympathizc with him
in his misfortunes.-jS Savannah Netes.

We challenge any man, AMI all meg, In

more Tor the soldiers Of our army than Hon,

secession with al. his ability. When the
election was over aud the question settled,

clared policy of the State, lie contributed
literally Of his means TO furnish volunteers
with horses and clothing, lie paid, ut one
time, about the close Of 1861, or early in
1862, over five hundred dollars TO buy coats
for one company that passed through Red
River from another county.
lie did everyth ng in his power for the
lost cause, and all that he has received in
return for his devotion TO his State and
section is defeat as candidate for seat
in the United States Senate, and abuse and
misrepresentation as candidate for Con-
grcss, simply because he voted against Sc
ccssion. -
We defy all his opponents to bring
particle of evidence TO show that he did or
said anything inlopposition to the Conied-
crate cause after the question Of secession
was considered settled question in our
State. We can prove that he aided the
Confederate cause most libsrally. Ask the
men who composed the company raised by
Ask Capt. Kings men, who furnished their
clothing? Ask any honest man in the
county Of Red River who is acquainted
with Mr.. Epperson.
Mr.. Epperson's record is so fair in his
favor, as o friend of the Confedcracy, that
lie has no chance of admission into Con-
gress, unless the test oath is modified or
repealed. lie is not popular with Southern
radicals; he never will be popular 18th the
abolition radicals. .......,r rs. irl
We wish that those who charge him with
faithlessness to the lost cause would in
vestigate his record before saying more on
the subject. Mr.. Epperson will be voted
for, by those who know him, in this county
and this section. There is no man in the
district who can serve US better than he
can, if he could gain admission into Con-
gress after being duly elected.-Fa7s

The GREAT FLooD.-From the 10th TO
the 10th there was great rain storm in
the region about Cincinnati, Louisville and
indianapolis. Most of the rivers overaowed
their banks, and great damage was done to
railroads, bridges and. crops. Over some
of the roads from Cincinnati the trains did
not pass for several days. Four or five
hundred thousand dollars is said to be the
amount Of damage done in Indianapolis
alone. t..
The great corn-felds along the bottoms
Of the Big Miami have suffered terribly,
the food being higher than the tallest corn
stalks. Scores Of miles of fencing have
been carried off. The Sciota, at Columbus,
overlooked its banks, inundatiDg the whole
valley west of the river and north of the
national road. A great many families were
driven from their homes. II Is estimated
that twenty millions bushels Of corn have
been destroyed in the Miami bottoms
Reports from the Northwest represent the
food as general, with vast destruction Of
property = Cal News.

their report on Friday. The report is ac-

that since the event those persons charged

that no citizens in that county have worn
