TEXAS CATTLE-From the best information

Some of the prominent symptoms are Cough,
Expectoration, Shortness OF Breath Irritation

PROCLAMATION.

To the free c0lored Inhabitants Of Louisiana:
Through mistaken policy you have here
toiore been deprived of a participation in
the glorious struggle for national rights
in which our countryis engaged. This no
longer shall exist.
AS sons of freedom, you are now called
upon to defend our most inestinable bless
ing. AS Americans, your country looks
with confidence to her adopted children for
a valorous support, as a faithful return for
the advantages enjoyed under her mild and
equitable government As fathers, husbands,
and brothers, you are summoned to rally
round the standard of the Eagle, and defend
all which is dear in existence.
Your country, although calling for your
exertions, does not wish you to engage in
her cause without amply renumerating you
for the services rendered. Your intelligent
minds are not to be led away by false repre-
sensations. Your love of honor would cause
YOU to despise the man who should attempt
to deceive you In the sincerity of soldier
and the language OF truth address you.
To every noble hearted, generous, freeman
of color, volunteering to serve during the
present contest with Great Britain, and no
longer, there will be paid the same bounty
in money and lands now received 10y the
white soldiers of the U. States. VIZ $124 in
money and 100 acres of land The non
commissioned officers and privates will also
be entitled to the same monthly pay and
daily rations and clothes furnished to any
American soldier. I'D
On enrolling yourselves in companies, the
Major General commanding will select off
GERS for your government from your white
fellow-citizens. Your none inmissioned
officers will he appointed from among your
selves. ..r
Due regard will be paid to the feelings of
freemen and soldiers. You will not, by
being associated with white men in the same
corps, be exposed to improper comparisons
or unjust sarcasm. As distinct, independ-
ent battalion or regiment. pursuing the path
of glory, you will, undivided, receive the
applause and gratitude of your countrymen.
To assure you Of the sincerity of my inten-
tions and my anxiety to engage your inval-
liable service to our country, have commu-
nicated my wishes to the Governor of Louis
lana, who is fully informed as to the manner
of enrolment. and will give you every neces-
sary information on the subject of this adj
dress. ANDREW JACKSON,
Major General Commanding.

Then they sail the people paid no tax. The
idea was preposterous. The thing could not
be so.
Mr.. Graham, of Orange, said he desired
to be correctly understood he did not IA
vor property qualification for voters, but
simply taxation as basis for the Senate
Thus the counties that paid most taxes
would be able to restrain any wild system of
taxation upon property. No member here
now proposes a qualification for voters
He was against it; and, so far as colered
suffrage, he held that God had made dis
tinction, winch should not be abolished at
the ballot box. The question now was upon
taxation as the basis for the Senate. He did
not aspire to prevent the Radicals from car
rylng out their plans here, but to give him
full swing and fair play. That was all, and
then like the Pacific road, they would go to

Ar. Tourgee said the delegate gave to the
Republicans what he did not have to give.
MIR. Pool offered the following amendment.
The basis OF representation for the Sen
ate shall remain as at present until 1871,
when the Legislature shall apportion on the

would be preferable, and prevent a contest
