nminOHs,

roo,e.l ONIONS have followed our recent
.oar;s;t;ors Of territory, like those which
d;d attend the murder of DUNCAN. when
there were
aausntings heard the air strange screams Of death;
AID prophesyings with accents terrible,
OF dire combustion, ana confused events,
noH haten 20 the woeful time. The obscene. bird
S1amer d the 1velong night; some say the earth
Nss ieVerous and did shake"
The ship that carried Gen. Rousseau to
Sitka TO take possession Of our Arctic bar
gain, encountered Of the coast terrible
storm, and came near laundering. She
was barely able to make port, with ammu-
milton and stores wet.
In ceremony Of hauling down the Rus
sian flag to hoist that Of the United States
IN the presence of the officials of both ma
tons with their guards of honor, the Rus
sian flag stuck halfway, in emblem of
death, and a man had to climb the mast to
bring it down. A correspondent writes,
'Slnce then there has not been an hour Of
pleasant weather" 1t began to rain imme-
diately, and at the last weather advices,
which were seventeen days after the trans
fer, it was pouring still. And there is the
assurance Of past experience that Walrus-
sian skies are like Niobe in point of keeping
up TINS weeping,
With the announcement OF the purchase
of tho Islands of ST. Thomas and st. Paul
from the Danes, came the news of tremen-
dous hurricane and earthquake, that nearly
swallowed them up, lifted the sea forty feet,
deluged large portions of them, wrecked
two American navy ships and many other
vessels, and spead ruin and devastation
around. Is there not something striking
and ominous in these events and coinciden-
ces? Does our American paw blight what
ever we place it on2 What if It were a
warning to.our iniquitous greed for terrific
ny, such as Cowper describes as made to the
West India slavers' appeal to Heaven.

The order fer the election of Recon
struction Convention will probably be is
sued within very few days In the mean
time the following appeal is made to the
Republicans of the State
TO THE REPUBLICANS OF TEXAS
We present to you to-day the result of
the registration of this State, which gives
$1,000 white, and AZ ,430 colored voters reg
istered, or a grand total of 104,096. From
the correspondent Of the Republican Exc
cutive Committee, who have made care
full estimate of the vote throughout the
State we learn that $4,000 loyal whites will
vote the Republican ticket in the approach
ing election. OF the colored voters we will
carry at least $4,000. This will give the
Republican party grand total of 10000
voters, and insures beyond all doubt the
holding Of Convention. In very short
time the State will be dstricted, and an
election will be ordered The time for ac-
ton has arrived. You must select your
strongest and best men for the Convention.
Let them be chosen from among those who
have distinguished themselves for their
public and private virtues, for their services
TO the State, and their devotion to the great
cause of human liberty and the rights Of
man. Let their character be such that
their work may not only meet the approval
of our loyal people, but such as may chal-
lenge the criticism and defy the opposition
of the disloyal. The disfranchised Conser-
vative leaders advise their old followers to
stay away from the polls, with the delusive
hope of defeating the Convention. Let
them thus defy the law if they dare. We
need not their votes, and the Reconstruc-
ton acts have taught us how to deal with
persistent rebellion. Victory perches upon
our standard but remember, Republicans,
that "the price of liberty is eternal vigi-
lance"

THE ENGLISH CoLLrERY ExrLosIoRs.--
The latest accounts from the scenes Of the
reoent disastrous colliery explosions in En-
gland state that months will probably elapse
before any attempt will be made to unseRl
the golfers and recover tho bodies Of those
who were killed. The engineers think that
they will get along without flooding tho pits
with water, which is very expensive process
and is only resorted 10 when all other Rt.
tcmpts to extinguish the fires fail. Nothing
is done that will allow the introduction Of
any air into the pits, and it is hoped that in
few months the pits can DO opened with
safety. The government inspector Of mines
for the South Yorkshire district has lost hil
health In consequence of his anxiety In re-
gard to the recent explosions and he has re
signed his place Subscriptions are being
made throughout En- and for the relief O
the families Of those. men who were killed by
the explosions, and up 10 the 28th ult., The
Lord Mayor OF London had received owe

REMOVAL OF the COURTS.

This subject has not yet been brought be-
fore the Legislature, but we have heard II
stated that an effort will be made TO prejudice
the Democratic" members against it, by
representing it as "Black Republican"
movement This is not true, and the persons
who ore using this argument resort to it well
knowing its falsity. Iii not party question.
Some of the most active citizens IN favor OF
it are leading Democrats" and among
those opposed to it are leading Republicans.
Party has nothing whatever TO do with it,
and the attempt to drag in party prejudices
10 oppose the removal only proves that no
good reason can be assigned against the pro-
ject Even outside Of the city of Whining
ton large majority of the people are in
favor of it. 1t Is a simple question connect
ed with the business convenience OF the
inhabitants Of New Castle County, and We
ask of the Legislature frank and fair con
sideration of the matter upon its merits only
and disconnected from prejudices lugged il
| by interested parties.
