Bad Mail ARRANGEMENTS,

On this su bject the Houston Telegraph
says:
The mail agent of Texas has vexation
enough to rutf1e the temper of patient old
job, but we must call his attention to an
evil which cries aloud for remedy We
learn that the way mail along the western
branch of the Central is put into through
sacks, and that the postmasters at several
towns, not having time enough to distribute
them, keep the sacks over till the next day.
Now, see the effect of this. Suppose six
successive pOstmasters at the way towns or
stations do this, here are six days delay to
the mails and this may explain why some
papers are week reaching subscribers that
they should reach in day.
Is there not system of way bags, and
can not the mail agent apply remedy to
this evil by having it required OF the post
masters at the principal points to make up
way bags?
Why also, should all the Texas mails be
put up at New Orleans in sacks that must
be overhauled at Galveston? Why can't
the interior Texas mail be put ND in sepa-
rate sacks at New Orleans, so that it need
not touch the Galveston postofice at all?
New Orleans is a distributing Office. and it
is a poor distribution, indeed, that the i'm
mense Texas mail has to be overhauled at
the Galveston pOstofice.

Texas Republicans,

A convention of the Republicans of Har-
ris county was held at Houston, at which
the following resolutions were adopted:
ResOtced, That we will labor without
ceasing, and with all our heart, mind and
strength to promote harmony in the Repub-
lican ranks, to heal dissension and to
strengthen the national and State admins

the public debt and introduced economy
and reform into every department of the
civil service; that we recognize him as a
true Republican, and do hereby pledge our
selves to support him for denomination for
President in 1879.
T. That we sustain the administration of

cially indorse the policy of the militia bill
the State police, frontier, and school bills.
D. That TO Governor E. j. Davis and his
efficient Adjutant General and Secretary of
State the people are indebted for the sup
preston of lawlessness ana crime, the dis
arming of the assassin, and the swift arrest
and punishment of criminals; and to them
it is due, more than all others, the redemp-
ton Of the name of Texas from the deep
disgrace into which it had fallen.
6. That we fully indorse, and pledge our
selves to sustain, the Superintendent of
Public Instruction in securing, at an early
day, the building of free public school
houses and instruction for the children of
our State.
7. That the Republicans of Harris county
are thoroughly impressed with the i'm
portance of the coming election for men,
bers of Congress, and they will devote
every energy to secure a Republican victory.
8. That in General w. T. Clark we reco o
nize a standard bearer who possesses their
fullest confidence, true Republican and
an able representative of our party; and
we would respectfully suggest to our dele
gates to give him their unwavering sup
port.
9. That while we firmly believe that the
nomination of General Clark for our mem
ber of Congress to be for the best interest
OF the Republican party, We pledge our
selves to support the nominee of the con-
vention, be he whom he NAV.

Interesting Religious Intelligence.

| We reproduce the following from the La
to,rche Times:
Perhaps one of the most interesting cere-
monies witnessed within the past two wears
! III this town was the rite of immersion as
| practiced by the apostolic church, admins
tered by the Rev. William Murrel, pastor of
the Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church, to
thirty four adult candidates.
| There had been a spacious pool excavated
| near the church the week previous, and
| ample preparations were made TO perform
| the ceremony after the manner of st. John.
who performed the first immersion in the
river Jordan nearly nineteen centuries ago
After calling the names of candidates and
an appropriate address TO the congregation
Rev William Murrell, attended by the YES
try and wardens, led the way to the pool.
the whole congregation joining in an i'm
pressive hymn commemOrating the baptism
of our blessed Lord and the final resurrec-
tiOn.
Having arrived at the pool, the pastor de-
scended, followed by the wardens, who
ranged themselves in their respective
places, in order that no accident could pos
sibly happen. Thanks were then returned
and the usual prayers recited, after which
the candidates names being called, each
person descended into the pool and received
the seal of baptism after the example of
our blessed Saviour, who rec ifel the same
rite at the hands of st. John the Baptist.
AS the impressive rite was administered
to each successive person the congregation
raised their voices in unison with the sweet
melodies of the ancient Church and as
each newly baptized arose from the water
halleluiahs and shouts went up that filled
the listeners with pious enthusiasm.
After th!rty-fOur had been baptized, the
pastor proceeded to the church and bar
tized one adult and four infants, making
thirty-nine souls at one time received into
the Calvary Church.
The congregation, which numbered prob
ably over thousand persons, were evi-
IDENTIFY much impressed by the ceremonies,
and during the sermon which followed.
The church was crowded with members of
the Church Militant, who felt with the
ancient worshipper, that it was good to be
there"
We notice with much pleasure that in
addition to the beautiful pool (which is free
to all the churches of the parish, without
regard to sect), that the church has been
repaired and righted up. and that the pres
ence of Rev. William Murrell is working a |
great amount of benefit upon the whole |
parish.
Winan's station, at Winder's. under the |
supervision of William Kennedy, is in
fOurshIng condition, also the Good Hope |
chapel, under the immediate supervision of |
Rev. Mr.. Murrell, is progressing finely,
both chapels being in full Fellowship with
the old Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church.
Sabhath schools are being organized over
the entire parish, and the Methodist Epis-
cOpaI Church can congratulate itself, that
under the superintendent of Rev William
Murrell, 1t Is the largest and most efficient
religious body in Lafourche parish.

The agent who was dispatched to Mexico
in order to induce the return of the Kcka-

Rosa, in Coahuila, and mentions, as singu-
lar fact that Mexican commission had ar
rived at that place but one week in advance
of our agent and his party, and had been
issuing cattle and corn to the Kickapoos
The Mexicans are anxious to retain the
kickapoos, for the reason that if they leave
the community will be invaded by the
Mechelards, Apaches, Lepans and other ma
rauding Indians; that the Kickapoos are the
only defense of the Mexicans, and that
their labor and trade are matters of no
mean Importance to them.
The report also shows that one of the
Indian chiefs was bribed by the Mexicans
not to consent to a removal. after some of
the kickapoos, especially the squaws, had
made arrangements to depart. The object
of our government in desiring the return of
the kickapoOs and their location on a reser-
walton is to break up their expeditions on
the Texas frontier, in which they are en-
couraged by their Mexican friends

Total Loss of Cargo Entire Loss
SI2SOOO

The st. Louis Republican, of Sunday
| gives us some details of the loss of the
steamer Olive Branch. already reported by
telegraph. The Republican says:
dispatch was received yesterday morn
ing by Messrs. Stillwell. Powell & Co., from
Captain John T. McCord, of the Olive
Branch, which contained the following in
formation
The Olive Branch sunk this morning, at
five o'clock, in twelve feet of water, at Lib
erty bar. No lives lost Lays straight on
the obstruction she struck. Send bell boat.
Do not think she can be raised.
The Olive Bra1ch left this port on Friday
evening at five O'clock. bound down stream,
for New Orleans, with heavy cargo of
freight, and had proceeded on her way with
out interruption, until she arrived at that
noted steamboat graveyard yesterday
morning, when she struck the hidden OBJ
struction as noted by the dispatch, and
went down as stated.
The Olive Branch has been running in the
st. Louis and New Orleans trade since the
latter part of the year 1863. She was built
by James Howard at tJeffersOnville, Indiana.
for the Messrs. Pegram, of this city, to take
the place of the ill-fated Ruth which was
burned between Columbus and Cairo i'll the
early part of the wear 1863. She was
r.
The Olive Beanch was built for first class
passenger packet, had carrying capacity
OF ZOO tons, was 2S5 feet long, forty-three
feet beam, and seven and three-quarters feet
hold. She had six boilers twenty-six feet
long and forty-twO inches in diameter. Her
machinery was built in the shop of Dennis
Lyons, of Louisville. She was finished with
an elegant cabin, and although she has been
running for about eight years, she was re-
garded as staunch and seaworthv.
At the time of the accident the Olive
Branch was owned as follows: Stillwell.
Powell IL Co., one-fourth; John N. Botin-
ger, One-fourth; William j. Lewis, one
fourth, and Captain John T. McCord, one
fourth. She was valued by the company
who owned and controlled her at $50.000;
but for purposes of insurance, was valued
at S37 800. She was insured in various
offices in this city, and IN Cincinnati and
Plttsburg offices. 1t is fortunate circum-
stances attending this disastrous waste of
property, that no lives were lost. The
value Of the cargo was not much less than
$4,000 As it consisted principally of flour
it will be total loss On this the amount
of insurance is not known. The steam
wrecking boat Salvor No. , was immedi-
ately ordered to the place, and will do
whatever it is possible to do toward saving
the boat and the cargo.
The st. Louis Dispatch, of Saturday eve
ming, says:
vile, Indiana, November, 1868. by James
Howard & Co.. the celebrated boat build
ers, and cost $4,000. In her time she was
considered one of the finest boats on the
Mississippi river, and has been very sue
cessful
