ANARCHY IN TEXAs.-The Conservative
citizens of Texas have prepared and issued a
petition to Congress, asking that body to guar
antee to the people Republican form of gov
ernment. They commence by saying that they
are thoroughly convinced that their civil libcr-
ties are in great danger, if they have not been
actually overthrown by certain laws recently
enacted by the Legislature now in session. The
petition closes as follows
All of our political rights have been taken
from us by our present Legislature and trans
ferred to the Executive of our State. We no
longer have the choice of our officers and
agents, but they are appointed over us by the
Executive. Strangers from other States igno-
rant of our mixed system of civil and common
law, are made Judges of our courts. Our civil
liberties have been destroyed, Republican gov
ernment has been overthrown in our State,
and despotism established in its place. We,
the people of the State of Texas, do therefore
respectfully petition the Congress of the Uni
ted States to exercise its constitutional duty to
restore to this State Republican form of gov
ernment, and we do most solemnly appeal to
our fellow-citizens of the United States to aid
us in this our petition.

and Results. By Hon. A H. STEPHENS.
The National Publishing Company, of Atlanta, Ga, have
Just issued the second and concluding volume of this great
work. For time past there has been ageneral feeling
of apprehension throughout the country that the preca
Gus condition of Mr. STEPHENS health would prevent his
completing the work. but this apprehension now re-
moved by the fact that the book is finished and in the
hands of the Agents of the Company for delivery 80.
This matter of congratuation to the entire country
This book must from its very nature take precedence Of
all Southern histories of the The high position held
by Mr. STEPHENS in the government Of the Confederacy
his great abilities the first statesman Of the South and
his acknowledged integrity Of character make him per-
haps the person best qualified to tell the story Of his cause
and its failure His position second officer Of the Con-
ederacy enabled him gain much information which was
inaccessible to the ordinary historians the secret history OF
his familiar to him as open book and
his constant and intimate association with the leaders OF
the South prepares him to speak with accuracy of their
motives and Judge their acts from more Intelligent
standpoint than any other writer.
In the first volume of his work Mr. STEPHENS confined
himself entirely discussion of the which led to
the secession of the South. In the volume before
he narracs the story of the War; giving especial emphasis
to the action of the government of the Conderacy to
what may be called its confidential history. His account
the important conference at Hampton Roads between
Lincoln Con1eOerate
one Of the most valuable additions to the literature Of the
War; and in itself worth the price of the entire work.
The vexed question of the noncxchange of Prisoners Of
War has much light shed upon it. and the peace move
ments in the South thoroughly explained The fact
that the first volume which but the introduction to
the history Of the War; commanded sale of over $4,000
copies fully the assertion that volume which
discussion of principles but living breath
ing of the events of the greatest struggle Of
modern times by of the most important actors in It,
will reach sale unprecedented in this country. No fair
minded unpreudced person afford to be without this
book 1t is the official history the Southern side and
must hold in the literature of the War higher place
than is accorded to Mr. Greeleys american Conflict It will
occupy in history the place that given to Napoeons
Memoirs in the literature of the French Empire 1t is
like that work the last production of its gifted author and
entitled to all the weight which attaches to the high
character OF great leader presenting the world the
story of his cause in vindcaton of it. The book is sold
by subscription only, and agents waited in every

The following circular embraces the instruc-
tions received by B. F. Crayton, Esq, from the
State Executive Committee of the Union Re

week:
The Executive Committee of the Union Re-

plan of organization for each County, and urge

active, intelligent man to make a list of every
voter in his township or section, With. his po-
litical proclivities opposite his name
4. These lists should be forwardedao the CEN

The Camp Meeting at MT. Sinai.


The great occasion, which the heading of this
article suggests, and to which SO many of the
colored people looked forward with such high
expectations, has at length come and gone;
bringing results more fattering than the most
sanguine had expected, and leaving Impressions
on their hearts so glowing and lively that they
could not refrain from publishing to other
brethren what they had done, and therefore So
licited us to give statement of their proceed
ings in the columns of the hatelkgencer.
The meeting was held at the colored Metho-
dist Church-Mount Sinai-near Rock Mills,
beginning on Wednesday evening, August 18th,
and closing the following Sunday night. There
were none who tented, in the common accep-
tation of the term, because they had not time
and means to erect tents, but occupied the
church building, which was divided off into
separate apartments, while the services we're
conducted under large brush arbor. Several
ministers were present. two of whom We heard
| -Revs. Messrs. Rosemond and Miller. The
former preached on Saturday from Rev xxi
is: "And the city was of pure gold" The
first part Of his discourse consisted of an exc
gesis of the text, together with observations
explanatory of the context; the latter part was
general exhortation. The meeting was large
ly attended, particularly on Saturday and dSun-
day. The congregation on the last day was
estimated at about two thousand, among whom
were few white people. AS the immediate
i IL IL
were about twenty persons converted.
The colored people manifested great yea, and
seemed to take deep interest in the services;
and if prompted by the right spirit, it will be
source of good. We cannot withhold our sp-
probation Of their marked respect and courtesy
towards the white people in attendance and
be it said to their credit that perfect order and
harmony reigned throughout the meeting.

n@ The company of colored militia, recent
ly organized in this place, paraded the streets
on Saturday afternoon, armed with Springfield
muskets, we believe, but not equipped as the
law directs" The unmartial appearance of
these '.raw recruits" suggests the idea that the
Adiutant General of the State should send
"driIl sergeants, in advance of arms and am
munition, and not reverse the military order OF
things, as he appears. to have done in this in
stance.
