We are gratified to notice the
presence in our county Of Mr.. Hal
sey Wigfall, son of Gen. l.. L. Wig
fall, who is now in exile in England.
We hope soon to see the family, who
have been broken up by the war,
return to their home. There is no
reason for any one connected with
the late Confederate army or govern
ment remaining abroad. Gen. Wig
fall, as we presume is generally
known, formerly resided in Marsh

nsy-We copied short paragraph
last week, from the Rusk Observer,
in which it was stated that the Gov
ernor would call an extra session OF
the Legislatures Immediately, he hav-
inS received important intelligence
which would render such course
necessary. We have good reason to
know that such is not the case, Up
TO the time he left Austin, on We'd
nesday of last week, the Governor
had no information Of a national po-
litical character which is not alrea-
dy known to the public through the
newspapers; and therefore, he has
no thought, at present, of calling the
Legislature together. The Austin
Gazette, speaking of the same ru-
NOR, says:
( 1--WE intended contradicting this,
last week, as we were authorized and
requested to do, but in the hurry OF
making up the paper it was forgot
ten. We now say, empkaticalg, that
the Governor has received no infor-
nation from the President, which
would induce him to call an extra
session of the Legislature, or make
it advisable for him to do 50, and
that be has no such intention in the
present state Of affairs. We trust
this viii settle the question

that the Indians have very recently
renewed their raids in Hamilton
