The negroes continue to pour into this city, and
every train brings scores of them. We learn tha
about 1000 of them were awaitinp transportation
to this city at Bremen on Tuesday. The cars were
crowded, and could not carry all who applied fol-
passage. They have behaved remarkably well the
past week. and have had no rows with citizens
The soldiers love to plague them, and considerable
sport is the consequence. They all seem to be
well supplied with money, and dealers in trass
jewelry are doing thriving business.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF TIE UvALDE RoB-
BERs.-From another gentleman just in from the
scene Of hostilities on the frontier, we gather
further particulars of the outrages committed by
band of robbers and depredators in the counties of
Uvalde and Medina. At Mr.. McLemore's on the
Hondo, they took corn, fodder and provisions,
without even saying thank you,h and at Mr.
Davenport's they committed similar outrages. At
Mr.. Kennedy's place they tore off locks, broke
down doors, took money, goods and liquors in
store. From Mr.. Blacks, at Uvalde, they took a
horse, saddle and bride for one OF their number
who had become dismounted. Mexicans and other
travellers in the road relieved of their pistols
and other arms on the ground that they were in
search of such articles by order of the Government
A book-keeper of Mr.. Duclos, of Eagle Pass
was among the number robbed of pistols
citizen of the country through which they passed
!" fanked them :" into Uvalde, and having secured
an order for their arrest from the military agent
at that place, Mr.. HI. w. Black, q crowd collected
and the highwaymen were dnly arrested. They
were sent to Judge c. C. Mckinney, but he being
absent, were taken before Judge Richards to be
tried. We understand that eleven of them are
now in confinement at Castroville, awaiting eX-
animation. Those in whose possession no stolen
property was found were not arrested and of
these was certain person who seemed to be the
leader, and who called himself Major Perry, who
is now in Castroville. All these had United States
horses, saddles and arms, except two, and had
evidently been soldiers.-lS "A. Herald.
1t is sad to see the recklessness of manner, and
to hear the loud vugarity and blasphemy of freed
ChriS
mas times. Good looking" negro girls go about
Intoxicated, and swearing most profanely at the
very top of their sonorous voices. "Aye,n as

CHRISTMAS IN HoUsToN.-The Telegraph says
Christmas day passed off very pleasantly and
everybody seemed to enjoy themselves. The day
was warm and spring-like, and seemed more like
derby, and very few disorderly persons could be
seen. All the stores remained open until noon,
and then closed their doors, and the streets were
soon nearly deserted. The colored population
were out in all their glory, and wore pleasant
countenances and looked happy They were good
patrons of the groceries and one;horse dry goods
stores, and invested quite literally in Yankee no.
tions and toys. The Catholic churches were nu-
merously attended and the services interesting
and solemn. Many families manufactured a large
quantity of egg-nog aud invited their friends to
partake OF 1t, AID the consequence was that many
teetotallers violated the temperance pledge.
HYMESEAL EPIpEMIc.-The Houston Telegraph
says:
The marrying epidemic has broken out in this
city, and we hear of new cases daily Mayor An
dpews was called upon Thursday to prescribe fol
two cases. We learn that the epidemic is raging
all over the State and battles the skill of watchfu
daddies and nammies. There is little prospect o
its disappearance until the return of warn
weather. ."6
AN HONEST CoMMuNIry.-A pair of eight dollar
shoes were left hanging out all night in front o1
one OF our dry goods houses on Dallas street, on
Tuesday night, and notwithstanding the moon
shone, and the usual crowd were passing, they
we're not molested Wonder if the same thing
could take place in Shreveport?
