and good Will to all men. this preacher
calls Tor an army from the North, to con-
sist OF three divisions. to invade the South.
'Onc division to consist OF muskctrv and
artillery, to do the killing; another to be
armed with torches and turpcntine, to do
the burning, and the third to consist of
surveyors. with lines and Chains, to mark

language that should be uttered by a fol-
lower ot the meek and lowlv Saviour? Is
this DctttlnS invocation from an apostle.

1t would seem that no human heInc i!n-

people are, with such barbarous scnti-

The Bureau in Texas.

The Bureau in Texas.
1t has been noticed some time ago
that the editor OF the Brenham
CTexas) Banner had been imprisoned
by order of one of the agents Of the
Freedmen's Bureau, for rcbuking the
misconduct of one of the attaches of
that lnstitution-a teacher of one of
the colored schools Mr. McGary,
the editor, refused to pay fine OF
$3.50; imposed, as he thought, unjust
ly, for writing u deserved ccnsure
Not paying, he was imprisoned; hut
ut the end of three weeks, by the in
terposition of Gov. Throllmorton,
he was released. Tn the next issue of
his paper, there appeared ut the head
OF his columns afonrth of July can
non of the old style, and under it the
following editorial notes of eNulta-
ton:
Brilliant victory. Tcrminatio of
the conflict. The Bureau silrrcn-
ders !! The press victorious The
Banner still waves
The conclusionof the article under
the above caption was as follows:
''The civil law again asserts its sll-
premacy-thc citizen once more
breathes an atmosphere Of liberty.
and our right to edit Il free and indie
pendent paper is fully vindicated.
''The Brennan Amateurs are ut

quent music breaks upon the stiffness

and his Bureau over to their natural
reversionary prietors, the imps of
darkness, we will close the chapter,
and clasp hands with the kind friends
from whom, for three weeks past, we
have been separated by Federal
guards and the thick walls of Il loath-
some Jail
But now what followed? On the
night of the Sth instant, the doomed
town of Brenham became II scene of
conflagration and bloodshed The
negroes had dance in town, which
was broken up by some intoxicated
soldiers Of the garrison. They then
proceeded to break up small social
party of citizens in another locality,
and striking several gentlemen With
loaded sticks OF slung-shots This
affair resulted in the death of one of
the assailants The soldiers returned
with reinforcements, fired several
shots in front OF the Bnmne7 Office,
and wound up by breaking into a
store beneath that Office, and, after
plundering the store, fired the build
ing. The Banner Office was destroy
ed, and not even q file Of the paper
left. The loss by the fire WAS about

Such is the condition of things in
Texas, and it is = sad commentary on
the assumed validity of two peace
proclamations and the "restoration OF
civil authority" The matter, it is
presumed, will he investigated, and
it is To be hoped the guilty parties
may be properly dealt with.
