been hastened by letter of Gen. Rey-
nolds, Commanding in Texas, which is to-
day made public. Now that the issue is

THE fall trade in Boston, according to
the journals ofthe city, has commence
with great activity. The demand for
cotton goods is reported to be lively, the
surplus in the hands Of the manufacture
ers has been disposed Of, and the mills
are finding ready sales for all they pro-
duce. Although the high price Of cotton
has left but little margin for profit, it is
believed that no further advance will be
demanded, and that the mills at the end
Of December will exhibit a very fair six
months. There has been caution exer.
cised in giving credit to buyers from
cities where speculation in real estate
has been carried beyond reasonable
bounds; but in many cases the purchas
ers have paid cash.

THE BLIND PREACHER.-The Rev.
William II. Milburn, the well-known
blind preacher, has just returned from
q long absence in Europe, whittier he
went seeking aid from Graeffe, the noted
oculist of Berlin. The operation he went
through was successful to a certain ex~
tent, but has not as yet at all improved
the vision, Mr.. Milburn still having only
a vague impression of light, without be-
ing able to see even the outline of0bjects.
He returns, however, in excellent health,
proposing a winters campaign among
the lyceums with "What blind man
saw in Paris" and "What blind mans
experience was in searching for light"
and hoping in the spring to go back for
another, and, as he trusts, successful
operation.

stood at the back Of the hero of the Calf

liant campaign. The said Bates, We un~
derstand, is sole proprietor of "colOred
