Military Doings in Texas.

The military officers distributed
through parts of Texas are assess
ing fines upon the citizens for in
sulting the soldiers. These fines
range from fifty dollars upwards,
and are assessed not for personal
violence, but for language used to
white men, not negroes. The per-
sons upon whom eof these fines
have been assessed have refused
to pay them, and are confined in
Jail until they consent to liquidate
the amount. tits stated that one
officer has collected several thou
sand dollars from the citizens of
one county, from fines assessed in
this way, all of which he puts in
his own pocket, or divides with
his subordinates whom he induces
to provoke the citizens to retort in
language, when abused by them.
His action, nor that of his soldiers,
must be complained against, or a
fine of fifty or hundred dollars
must pay the penalty. This is
all very fine in "the greatest gov
ernment," etc.

The negroes near Monterey,
Texas, have been drilled recently
by white man, until they are
quite proficient in the use of arms,
which have been furnished them.
They are spelling for a fight with
the whites, and frequently threat
en- to clean out that unfortunate
branch of creation. Not long
since they fired upon a white man
from the bushes, wounding him
seriously, without provocation on
his part. The citizens of the vi
cinity have arrested fifteen of the
ringleaders and turned them over
to the military authorities. All
were discharged but three, who
were retained for the semblance
of trial. Such is the progress
made by the colored race in Texas.

OF TIE
LINCOLN COUNTY FAIR,
TO BE HELD AT
Fayettev1ue,
Tuesday, Oct. 22nd, 1867,
AND CONTINUE FIVE DAYS.
CIRCULAR.

I The President and Directors of
the Lincoln County Agricultural
and Mechanical Society make this
last appeal to the liberality of the
citizens of Lincoln and adjoining
counties, to assist us to make oul
Fair what it was before the war.
All that the Society possessed,
even to the last piece of plank,
has been swept from us during
the war. Notwithstanding all
this, by a strong effort and con-
siderable outlay of cash, we have
purchased a beautiful lot adjoin-
ing Fayetteville, for permanent
Fair Ground, where we are now
erecting handsome improvements,
where we propose holding a Fair
commencing on Tuesday, the 22nd
of October, 1867, to continue du-
ing the week. We are well aware
that the stock-raiser, the planter,
and the mechanic, can not show
such specimens as they did in OIL
den time, but that was q control
ing reason in getting up the Fair.
We wish to make the country
whatit was in prosperous times,
and nothing is SO we'll calculated
to stimulate all classes as these
annual exhibitions of the products
of the country. Therefore, we
do hope and trust that every man
that has the prosperity of his
country at heart will come up to
the good work, and if you have
nothing as good as.you, wish to
show, come alongwith what you
have, and be encouraged to do
better next time. And the Ia
dies-we want them all to come
bring your specimens of Jeans,
Linseys, Blankets, Needle Work,
anything, and everything. We
want to know what you have
been doing since the war, and
above all we want you to cheer
and encourage us by your presence
and approving smiles. Unless the
ladies encourage, we can not sue
caed,
The Society regrets that they
have not been able to offer more
liberal list of premiums. We do
hope, however, that all things con-
sidered, it is as liberal as could
reasonably be expected in view of
our limited means, and the short
time we had to prepare for an ex-
hibition. With proper encourage
ment, we promise to do better in
the future, Then we say again,
everybody come along. You can
make the Fair a perfect success.
Will you do it? We think you will.
The proceedings of each day will
be so diversified as to make it in
teresting to all.
L. L. STONE, President.

There's something in the hour and scene
NOT PARTED.

They are not parted, though their feet
Have wandered far in different ways;
And though they never more may meet
On Winter ewes or Summer davs.
1t matters not though realms divide,
Though boundless seas between them roll
For still, defying wind and tide,
Heart yearns to heart, and soul to SOUL
They are not parted those
Are parted whom no love unites;
Their absence breaks not our repose
Who have no share in our delights;
They may be by our side, and still
As far from US as pole from pole,
Who lack the sympathetic thrill
Of heart to heart and soul to soul.

Was blasted everything.
