and quiet of the country. We part,

with the belief that a better day IS
dawning. A day in which we will
be restored to our political rights
under the constitution, and when
the laws will be administered in
spirit, when tho iron heel of dcspo
tism will be removed, and we shall
again breath the pure air Of heaven
as -freemcn. During frequent and
protracted conversations, we never
heard him complain Of matters af-
fccting himselfin his removal His
whole object and desire is to pursue
that course that will soonest restore
the people to tho government, as
framed by the patriots of 70

sdy- RI. Rev. Alex. Gregg, Bisop Of Tex
as, ofiiciated at ST. Phillips Church, Charles
ton, S. c., on Sunday, the 9Th. The Courier
says:
"As the good Bishop entered and took
his place in the balloued chancel Of the
old Parish Church, IL was evident that a
heightened interest was given TO the devo-
iions Of the larger sssemblagc Of Worship
pers.
Morning prayer was said by the Rector
the Rev. W. d. W. Howe, and the Bishop
preached striking discourse on the spir-
itual life in man, in which he evidenced
the admirable discipline of his faculties
for eliminating truth from errer, and his
aptness in practically enforcing that truth
upon the earnest and thoughtful.
"Scuth Carolina gave o noble contribu-
ton 10 her sister Texas, when she parted
with Alex. Gregg. She rejoiccs with all a
mothers yearnings in the abundant frui-
ton Of his Apostolic labors, and chsrishes
him rs one in that vast multitude, who,
springing from the loins Of her past civil
ilation, vindicste it's claim as lsudsble,
honorable and glorious"

THE MAILS AGAIY.-The Postmaster ut
this place requests us TO say, for the infor-
nation Of the P. NJ. at Galveston or Hous-
ton, or wherever the through mails are
made up FOR this place, that II they would
nut the mail for the Western counties, that
is, for Parker, Jack, Young, Palo Pinto,
Erath &c., and oil other places west Of this
in tho sacks directed 10 Waco, instead Of
those directed to this place, it would not
only facilitate the reception of oil such
matter by the recipients, but world also ne
licve the post offices aieng the rsu'e from
Waco up, great deal Of useless labor,
and the stage the trouble Of hauling them.
There is weekly hack line from Hillsboro
to Weathcrford, which is the most direct
and quickest route for all mail the above
.ountic, from Waco and below j whereas,
from this place there is only horseback
route, which is frehucat!y overburdened by
the above carelessness or Ignorance. We
hope this notice will baves,he desired effect,
MS our p. NJ. has used his best endeavorsby
letter 10 have the matter properly sent
thus far, without success.
While on the subject Of mails, we may
add, that we are informed that the Herald
for Fort Worth is received there very ir-
regularly, sometimes reaching there two or
three NJ time. This should not be; the
route is direct from here to the Fort, and
there is no reason Why our paper should be
thus delayed. We are very well satisfied
that il is not tho fault Of the p. NJ. ut this
place; then whore is it?
We have, ourself, lost good deal Of pat
ronnge by this irrcgularity Of tho mails ON
thi. and other routes, and we, rs well as
the people who receive their mails BY them
have good reason TO complain. We hopethc
matter will be attended 10.

We do most earnestly pray that
there will be no preventing Provi-
