From tho Austin Gazette Aug 10
Although we have been for some
time under tho immediate supcrvi-
sion of Maj. Gen. Reynolds, still, un-
til lately, he was subordinate to the
military commander of tho 9Th Dis
trict at New Orleans, who was real
ly responsible for the management
of affairs hero, having, by the acts
of Congress, the power of revision
and of removal at his discretion.
The late change in the Military Dis
tricts, and tho assignment OF Gen.
Reynolds to the command of the 5th
District, now embracing Texas alone,
makes his views and probable course
of conduct matter. of deep interest
to our people, as it is evident, from
the proceedings of the Convention,
that we are likely TO be under mill
tary rule until after the next Prcsi-
dental election.
The extract of the letter from Gen.
Reynolds, read in Congress by Mr..
Boutwell,, as published in our last
weeks issue, unexplained, is, we
think, calculated to place him in a
false light. The letter, we have as
certained, was written to Hcadqnar-
tcrs at New Orleans, through the
proper channel of communication,
and about the same time, another
letter was written, taking decided
ground against arming the militia,
though calling for another regiment
ofregular troops. The Radical mis-
sionaries, Hamilton and Caldwell,
and their abettor, the partizaR Bout
well, used what they thought would
benefit their object and concealed
the rest. Had Gen. Reynolds letter,
condemning the arming OF the mill
tia, been read on the floor Of Con-
gress, it would have been a death
blow to the pet radical scheme. which
was killed any how. without it.

SOME OF THE GREAT THINGS OF
AMERICA.-The greatest cataract in
the world is the Falls of Niagara,
where the water from the great up
per lakes form a river of three
fourths of mile in width, and
then being suddenly contracted,
plunges over the rocks in two col
umns to the depth of 40 feet each.
The greatest cave in the world is
the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky,
where any one can make a voyage
on the water of a subterranean riv-
er, and catch fish without eyes.
The greatest river in the world is
the Mississippi, 4,100 miles in
length. cr
The greatest valley in the world
is the valley of the Mississippi. 1t
contains 100000 square miles, and
is one of the most fertile and profit
able regions of the globe.
The largest lake in tho world is
Lake Superior, which is truly an
inland sea, being 449 miles long and
1000 feet wide.
The greatest natural bridge in
the world is the Natural Bridge over
Cedar Creek in Virginia. 1t ex-
tends across chasm so feet in
width, 26O feet in depth, at the bot
tom of which the creek flows.
The greatest mass of iron in the
world is the Iron Mountain Of Mis-
souri,. 1t is $50 feet high and two
miles IN circuit.
The largest single volume ever
published is Webster's Unabridged
Dictionary-the biggest Of the Ian
guage-containing as much matter
as six family Bibles.
The largest aqueduct in the world
is the Croton aqueduct in New
York. It's length is forty miles and
q half. and its cost twelve and a
half million Of dollars.

Yours, truly,
The StoEy Gc Eliza.

The curious thing about this story
is, that it is entirely contrary in it,
results to any other story you cvel
read since you were born.
You observe that there was once
a girl and she lived in that goot
and felicitous old timo when almos
any girl of any account had some
disguished duke or festive young
prince wandering around after her
and trying his level best to annex
her and make her his wife. But
this particular girl seemed to bo un-
fortunate in that way, and she never
had any luck in striking any of the
mysterious aristocrats who loafcd
around the country.
Her name, you understand, was
Eliza, and she was not beautiful
with hair as black as the ravens
wing, and eyes that sIarkled like
diamonds, and checks unkissed, and
tipped with the lovely bloom of
youth; and her form wasn't grace
full as the fawns, and her laugh
never once rang forth in merry
peals, and it did not occur that, al
though she was clad in a plain and
homely garb, it still could not dis
guise her loveliness. | admit it
was rather mortifying for Eliza but
she had cream -co!pred hair and ycl-
low eyes, and she wore freckles, and
her form was similar to that of a
fifteen cent jack jointed doll, and
she laughed more like coal HEAVIER
at a circus than respectable young
woman. - rri hrd 10
1t so happened, however, in the
course of time, that this singular
young Eliza did not lie on a messy
bank among the flowers, and dream
that a beautiful prince came and
woed and won her, and called her
his sweetest love, and clasped her
to his heart, oand made feel happy
and peaceful. and first rate. Well,
/ should think not. Eliza did have
a dream, to be sure, but it was not
on a messy bank, for when she sat
down there she got sticllers in her
clothes, and sanguinary straddle-
bugs bit her on the nose; but she
went to bed, and had a wild and
tragic nightmare, in consequence
of having eaten eleven half-baked
buckwheat cakes, and she was OBJ
liged to take paregoric and squills,
or some other poison, TO remedy
the trouble.
And Eliza, you know, never did
like the other maidens of fiction,
and tripped lightly over the clover
scented meadows, singing merrily
as the lark. No such. Tripping
wasn't her forte, l may say, for she
carried a number six gaiter, and
had thick ankles; while as for sing
ing, when she turned on her music,
it sounded exactly like decrepit
canal boat bHgle, in an agony Of
pain.
l knew it was hard of Eliza, but
there was no help for it.
And the young men in the village,
You understand, didn't court her,
and follow her, and sue for her
hand, while she held aloof conscious
Of a pronder and iOffier destiny
Br DO means. She was f0nder VI
