New ORLEANS, May 5.-Thc troops re-.
Gently sent to Texas are behaving very
badly; drunken rows, fights and other out
RACES occurring at Galveston.
The Imperial Austrian troops arc disaf-
fected for want of adequate pay, and
foreign loans are driv..g the merchants
away.
The Red River planters say that cotton
ls universally rotting. a devastating over
flow is feared. Red River is higher than

Judge Dusslaner has decided that notes
payable in Confederate money are worth
less; and also mortgages given for Com
tederate money during the war.

A Republican paper says: owe
do not say of the civil rights bill that
in itself it extinguishes the State, but
we aver, that if Congress has the
constitutional power to pass this bill;
which strikes at the very foundation
OF State authority, then there is not
left solitary province of the State
upon which it may not trespass, or a
right reserved to them beside the
right of obliteration.

GEN. JOHN G. BREcK1NRDaE.-The
Louisville Journal thus speaks OF this
noble statesman and soldier, of whom
every kentuckian may well feel proud !:
Maj. Gen. John G.. Breckinridge
IS still at Toronto. AS all the rest of
the Confederate Generals are permit
ted to go to their homes and wherever
else they please, why, in the name OF
equal Justice and Heaven, is he kept
IN banishment? What evil thing has
he done that all other Confederate
officers have not done? What officer
ever carried on war in a loftier spirit
Of chivalry and courtesy than he, or
treated prisoners of war more consi-
derately and mercifully? Who is it
that has poisoned the mind of the
Administration against him? AN
yeny hath done this. z"

been asked for military assistance.
The sheriff and assessor of Wayne
County, petitioning him, say:
eve must have from twenty-five
to fifty men here in Cassville, or else
we must get out of here. This is the
landing place for all the lumber that
comes down Tug River. These big
buck rebels come down in time of

from Logan County and from Pike
County, Kentucky, with their navies
(revolvers) buckled around them. hur
railing for JEFF. Davis, cursing the
Government, cursing Union men,
and then we have to get out. Sir, I
frequently see men come in here who
were indicted for murder in Ken
tueky, defyiag everybody. Not more
than eight miles from here, as some
OF the home guards were on the way
home from being paid off, company
OF rebels fell on them and beat and
abused them severely, calling the
party id Abolitionists, and
swore they would not submit to our
laws. A few days ago they gathered
in here and raised a riot with our
Sheriff, and fell on him with clubs
and weights and tried to kill him and
his brother. His brother ran into
my house for protection. They stoned
