A correspondent OF the Galveston Ne,os, writing
from Bryan Texas June 81, says:-On Friday last
the town OF Calvert was the scene OF horrible
tragedy. The facts of the case as can gather them
from various sources are-There has been for over
a year a misunderstanding existing between notO-
rious character by the name OF Ben Brown and
gentleman by the name OF Dr. Maxwell. On Friday
last Brown, with party OF about forty desperau0es
rode into the OF Calvert, all armed to the teeth,
for the purpose as they av0wed OF killing Dr. Max
well and two friends OF his. When Maxwell was
told OF their intention he mounted his morse anu
rode down the street alone through Browns party.
AS soon as he had passed them the order was given
TO 1re and there was volley OF about hundred
shots fred at him. He and his horse were COM

LONDON June 20, 1869.
There is something comical in the nervous anxiety
manifested by the English whenever the Emperor OF
the French speaks or writes anything intended for
the public eye and it would really seem that Louis
Napoleon, understanding the tremor into which his
words are certain to throw the old Jailers or his
uncle takes malicious satisfaction in so framing
his sentences as TO intensity poor John Bulls un-
easness and apprehension. On Thursday last the
Emperor was at the Camp OF Chalons, and that day
being the anniversary OF the battle Of Soerno fought
ten years ago. he took occasion to make brief and
stirring address TO his soldiers, many Of whom had
shared in the victory which gave TO Italy freedom
from Austrian domination His words were just
such as might have been expected, and were
marked by the true Napoleonc breyity and appro
priateness "Keep always in your hearts the re-
membrance OF the battles Of your fathers and those
in which you have taken partn he said to his SOL
oiers osince the history Of our wars the history
of the progress OF civilization. Thus you will pre-
serve the military spirit which is the triumph OF
ble over vulgar passions" Now, however well dis.
posed we might be to crtcise the proposition that
be history OF the wars of France Is history OF the
progress Of civilization we can very readily lnd
excuses for an overstraIned figure OF speech in an
Emperor and q successful leader who Is addressing

words OF Napoleon are pregnant with significance
and each one OF them s carefully weighed IN Tn

1t contains. The London Times, under the plea {
