The Cocoa Nut.

The following is an extract
from Gov Browns letter, written
just after his return from Washing
ton City, where he conversed free
ly with persons high in authority,
in every depar tment of Govern
ment:
The decree has gone forth
that some of us, myself among
others, who were called to lead our
people and direct during our late
unhappy struggle, shall be dis
franchised, and at least politically
sacrificed. If the sympathies of
those whom we represented were
not with us they would be less
than human. But is it best that
they cling to us till they have
made beggars of their wives and
children, and plunged themselves
into irretrievable ruin, when their
fidelity can do us no good? I
think not. Justice to their wives
and children require that we do
not encourage them in this course,
and, above all, if peace, quiet and
returning prosperity can be re-
stored to our unhappy country by
the sacrifice, we should make it
without further hesitation or delay.
THE MILK.
The following is clipped from
the proceedings of the United
States Senate on Friday:
Mr.. Sherman introduced a joint
resolution removing the disability
of holding Office from Joseph E.
Brown, of Georgia, and Gov. Pat.
ton, of Alabama, which was re-
ferred to the Judiciary Committee.

From the Bastrop Advertiser.

MELANCHoLY.-We are panied
to record the death of Mr.. THo's
X MILLER, of Travis county, who
departed this life on Thursday
night last, at the residence CT his
father-in-law Mr.. w. j. A. Bell
in this place.
1t was on the oath of January
last, that we had the pleasure of
publishing his marriage to Miss
Lou BELL, of Bastrop, and now it
becomes our painful duty to chron-
icle his sudden demise. How SOL
emn the thought that one should
be cut down in the usefulness of
life-young and promising-whose
future seemed to be full of hap
piness-torn from friends, associ-
ates, family relatives, and lastly,
from an afectionate young wife,
who had treasured in her heart a
future full of joy and early bliss.
But alas, how vain is hope. Full
of life and happiness to-day-to-
morrow weeping over sorrows,
and the greatest anguish of spirit
pervades the heart. Yet, how
true is the language of divine
inspiration, which teaches, chat
n the midst Of life we are IN;

A1 The colored voters of
Nashville held a public meeting
last Saturday, for the purpose of
appointing delegates to the Conser-
vative State Convention. The
brains of the race were in attend
ance. Speeches were made by
Messrs. Joseph E. Williams and
Washington, colored, who said
that, under no circumstances would
they support the "Commander-in-
Chief" They said the hopes and
sympathies of the colored race
should be with those who raised
them, etc. An unsuccessful at
tempt was made by "Brownlow's
pups" to break up the meeting in

The latest swindling dodge in
Bridgeport, Conn, is played by an
elegantly-dressed lady who calls
on wealthy citizens to dispose of
a full-blooded English terrier,
which she is compelled to sell, as
she is breaking up housekeeping.
She asks $50 for it, and gets
about half price, weeps at parting
from the pup, and leaves. Soon
after the dog becomes frantic, and
as soon as a door is opened runs
away and is never heard of more.

Rev. John II. Bryson, Agent
of the Tennessee Orphan Asylum,
delivered an address at the Pres.
byterian Church last Monday
night. He said most of us had
pledged support to those children
whose fathers fell in the struggle
for Southern nationality, and ii
is necessary now to redeem our
pledge or be dishonored. A way
is opened for all of us to fulfil our
promises in this regard, and we
should avail ourselves of it. He
did not confne the petition tor
relief to those who made such d
pledge, but would state that hu.
manity dictates response in every
bosom to the piteous wall Of those
destitute and fatherless little ones,
Allow the softening and refining
influence of charity to find an en-
trance into your hearts, and ex.
tend your succoring arms and
clasp the shivering and homeless
orphans.

General Lee as a Teacher.

The Educational Association
of Virginia, recently appointed a
Committee to prepare an address
on their behalf, 'surging hearty
cooperation with teachers, in
matters Of instruction, discipline,
&C." The Committee, in their
report drawn by Gen. Lee, come
to the following sensible conclu.
sions:
/. The parent after committing
his child to the teachings of an.
other, should continue to mani.
fest an affectionate interest in his
improvement by constant inquiry
and encouragement.
2. The supplying of young
persons, while absent from their
homes, with needless money. and
the permission to contract debts
are to be reprobated, as tempting
to sinful prodigality and multi
plying the dangers Of contracting
habits of vice.
8. The proper authority ofteach
ers must be firmly sustained BY
the parents.
4. Every young person should
be informed by his parents tha
he must give diligence to prof
by his studies, or else must b
compelled to make himself nse
full to society by actual labor il
some humber sphere.
And last, an unworthy paren
cannot reasonably expect the teach
er, against the current of hi
wrong example, to- form his sol
into a worthy man.
