TEXAS.
Its situation, condition and political
prospects.
Er;rdcts from private letter

-, Texas April 3oth, 1867.
Having little leisure will endeavor, after long
silence, to post You in regard to political matters in
Texas Texas rebels bitter in expressions OF
sediton than their brethren OF the other Southern
States. Living they do in the midst of plenty, aud
remote from the seat Of Government they feel CON-
parativey from its influence and hope to e.
cape their share of its burdens.
Texas has fully recovered from the effects of the re-
bellion and from the enterprisng men who have mi
grated here, has received impetus that is carrying
her far beyond her sister States, and will In few
years enable her to compete with more favorable To-
calities The interior Is still under rebel rule they

quently ride through village upon one horse, dis
charging their six shooters and bowling like so many
demons, and all for the benefit OF the poor Bureau
Mani" consequently whenever they fall within his
clutches they fare the for 1t. Military rule is
now firmly established far as relates to the State
Government but no Offices have been vacated as was
the case in Louisiana; more rigid policy is however
expected upon the arrival of General Sheridan from
New Orleans. Governor Hamilton will accompany
the General and will play an important part in the
new order of things Both the Radicals and Rebels
are exertng themselves to their usost to get control
Of the negro vote, and in localities tho result is
very doubtful.
As a class they are more thoroughly organized and
better capable of dfusing Union sentiments through
out this country than tn: whites are.
All that is required is the moral support Of few
resolute white men at the polls election day to &C.
cure their full vote for the Union ticket. The regis
tering of voters has not yet commenced in Texas as
works OF that description are more backward owing
to the immense breadth Of territory aud difficulty of
communicating with the Northern and Western parts
OF the State. The registering in Louisiana Is nearly
completed but outside Of New Orleans and Baton
Rouge the State don't amount to much There are so
many political centres in Texas that 1t behoovcs us to
move cautiously
From San Antonio to the Rio Grande and from
Corpus Christi to brownsville constitutes tho Repnb-
can stronghold; towards the North and in the
thckly populated neighborhoods the rebels predomi-
nate and there our fighting ground Is located. Our
many advantages combined with the invaluable sup
port of the General Government, warrant the expec
tation Of the success of the Union party at the COM
ing election

THERE is NOT yet any free-speech in Mo-
bile, and the pretended gentle-manliness Of
the natives ofthat section proves to be some
thing like the playful behavior Of the first
families of Memphis and New Orleans. The
attack on Judge Kelley was utterly and out
rageously in violation of law and order, and
it furnishes significant commentary on the
policy which opposed the extension of Ma
tional military power over the Reconstructed
domain.
We are sincerely rejoiced that Judge KEEL
ley escaped unhurt, and that the evident in
tention of the lawless rebels to murder him
was frustrated.

change in the substance of the brain.

had reached the ancient town of Salisbury, Nd,

The Odd Fellows at Salisbury and vicinity as

thence, clothed in regalia, they marched to the

an excellent sermon by the Rev. DR.. Murphy OF
Philadelphia, from the text Jesus of Nazareth

to the church as before, where after some singing
and prayer by the resident NJ. L. PASTOR two
