RECONSTRUCTION IN TEXAS.

NEW ORLEANS, June 8.-Dspatches 8. Of yes
terday from Jefferson, Texas, mention that at
the military trial then pending, Richard FiRue-
$os, who had turned States evidence and who
was the strongest witness for the prosecution,
was placed on the stand, and he ct first stated
that he did not wish to give evidences; that
General Buell. expected more OF him than he
could tell, and had that morning threatened
him with proseou ion and punishment for per-
jury, if he did not tell all he had stated pri-
vately; also that he would be tried for the
crime with the balance of the prisoners. He
only recognized q few OF the prisoners and
shed tears. The scene created much feeling;
his testimony WAS not concluded. One or two
more freedmen have been examined and swore
every way. The trial will last three months.

for the libellant and decree $500 as salvage.
