A letter from Taxas, OF a recent date
gives a deplorable account Of the con.
| dition of the Union men there. The
rebel spirit is still dominant, and the
persecution of Union men as violent
/ as ever. The report Of the Com
mittee on Lawlessness and Crime
1 to the State Convention, shows that
from juno, 1865, to June, 1868, nine
hundred and thirty-n1ne persons were
killed in sixty, less than One-half Of
| the counties in the State. OF these
persons 40 were white white and 429
| freedmen.

Wade Hampton has given another
evidence of his perfect familiarity With
the framing of the N eW York platform
by pointing out in later speech that

agraph viii read fThe obsolete doc
trine of immutable allegiancos." he
says the clause was put in by General
Preston, of Kentucky. Hampton clio ses
his speech by calling for three ch GERS
for Lee.
Jefferson Davis is going to become a
business man in England. SO says re-
port. The Richmond Whig intfmates
that he must earn his living; a nd, as
he is not q lawyer, he must therefore
turn his attention to merchandise
Even If he were lawyer, people would
hardly want to employ an advocate who
is best known by "a lost cause" The
mercantile profession is mOrs to his
taste; and, If he could have his choice,
It would be slave-trading,
