Tho Louisville Convention Duty Of
Southern Men,

The Convention Of ",lrtlght out' Demo
erals, lately held al Louisville, has aaount.
el to lille or roil,itg. The candidates
nominated, OConIor nhl John Quincy
Adams, have both deolinsi, and wcpre.
sume not a single Slate IN the Union will
have amy other electoral lickst than Gre.
ICY o. Graut. People must vote for either
one or The other or not ysio ut all, Now
we cannot conceive how any Southern
man, In tho present condition of his aco'.
ton, can stand Idly by, with this contest
going on, on fail to SEQ the advantage to
he gained by the election OF Greeley. This
secured, md the 90 uhern States may
once more have free governments. The
people can govern themselves, and the
reign of carpet bnggcrs and scalnwngs will
be over. Is not this of itself inducemcnt
enough to vote for Greeley? Ought not
this consideration bring every man to the
polls ? A change OF government at Wash
ing'on is absolutely needed TO bri ng pc ace
and prosperity to the South, Az long as
the negroes believe that there is power
ut Washington, hostile to The white people
here, aud ready to support them in eve
rything, thers will b. no god feeling be-
tween the races anl no permanent peace
for the country. But the very moment
the blacks find OF that they will be 10
more favored by the general government
han the whites, wheu they are no longer
encouraged TO act part really contrary
% their wn natures then they will set
tic down into their proper position, peace
and friendly relations will be restore d,
aud the whites aud blacks will be able tn

cial bench or gruniing md stuing in n
gubernatorial chair. Will not this be
great gain? How, then, can any demo-
crat in the South refrain from voting for
Greeley? Again, it seems impossible that
any decent democrat in the South sh ou!d
vote for Grant, unless he intends to rban :
don his democracy and turn radical like
Beast Butler. If so, he should no longer
be deemed democrat-he must be called
by his right name. In Texas, ho will be-
come the associate ard friend Of the little
despot, Davis, and his corrupt set, whom
Grant upholds, and if elected will defend
and protect from the just punishment that
awaits Lin if Greeley should succeed.
Think Of these things, men of Texas, and
men Of the South, and do your whole
duty

Important to Honest Democrats.

1t seems a matter of proof that the dis
honest agents of Grant and his radical set
had hand, and very dirty one, in get
ting up The late Louisville Convention.
A Mr.. Conrad of Pennsylvania, who was
delegate from the 11lh Congressional
District in communication to the Louis
VILE Ledger, declares that he was tho on
ly real democrat in the delegation from
that State, and that free passes over the
railroads to Louisville were procured for
them at the Grant headquarters, corner Of
Eighth and Walnut streets, Philadelphia
1t is known, TOO, that others were sent
from different States by Grant men with
radical money. This, Of itself, is enough
to condemn tie whole thing with the de-
mocracy. We rejoice that no representa-
live of Texas was there. We believe Blan.
ton Duncan attempted to represent the
Star State, VIC know not by what pretend
ed authority, but his right was not reccg
nized. There were honest democrats in
that Convention, but when they found out
who were there, and how sent, and saw
what stuff they we're made of, they became
greatly disguised, and, it is said, the
chairman himself, Lyons of Richmond,
Va, among the number. Honest demo-
Gratis will pay no attention to this miser-
able abortion, called the Louisville Con-
vention. The only regular and authorita-
tive Democratic Convention was held at
Baltimore, and all good democrats will
vote for its nominees, Horace Greeley and
Gratz Brown.

Children in the Woods.

A very touching story, similar
to the old tale Of "The Babes in the
Woods" comes 10 us from Grcon
River, in the town of Hilsdale. A
few days since three children of
John Foley, residing on the noun
tain east of that place, aged respcc-
lively four, six, and eight, become
lost in the mountain woods. The
first was q little girl, the other two
were boys. They went out to play
near the hGnse and straycd away
after huckleberrlos into the woods.
The mother missed them, and
blew her dinnerhorn all around for
a mile near the house, but could get
no answer. That night it raincd
very hard. The next day word
was sent to the village of Green Ri
yer by the frantic mother, and the
people turned out and went in scar
CHI of the children. Every man was
fitted out with bread, meatand slim
ulants, in case they should find
them. All was vast wilderness
for miles around, so the men went
in different directions. Fears were
entertained that the children might
be attacked by wild beasts, as Mr..
Charles Jones, while hunting on
this mountain, had discovered three
wildcats, which escaped before he
could get near enough to shoot them.
The mother stood in the door,
wringing and twisting her hands.
encouraging the hunters to be vigi-
lent, for she said they were bare
footed and bareheadcd, and would
soon starve; they were never away
from home before, and the nearest
house was abuot three or four miles
distant, and even to this they had
never been.
About 3 o'clock little son of
Mr.. Ingorsoll, while hunting in the
woods for lost cattle, discovered the
three little creatures hudled to-
gether under a tree and began to
cry when they dicovered the boy
Ingersoa. He led them along to
the opcnfi cid and SO on to the house,
and the joy of the mother may we'll
be imagined. She ran to meet them.
screaming and crying, and catching
first one in her arms and hugging
that for a moment, than letting it
down and taking another one and
pressed that to her heart, and SO on
for nearly an hour be fore she be-
came Gained. By this time all the
hunters had returned from the scar
ch, and they. too, had to kiss and
hold the children, and unbidden
tears came to the eyes of great
stalwart men who bad never known
tears since their childhood.
One of the men took the little
girl in his lap, and asked her if she
slept any. She replied, laughing
'.Ycs 1 put on Johnny's cap, and
put my feet on Pat, and the rain
came right down on me-"
When found they were all wet
to the skin, and would most likely
have died in the course Of another
day il they had not been found.
They say they heard their mo-
theirs dinner horn that night, but
dare not leave the tree that they
were under for Gear of'getting fur

lies East Of us, and to present sodib facts
show ing the great advantage VI obtaining
the trade Of said territory.
The above moDsioDed counties will ship
this year 1000 bales of cotton, at low
estimate, and will receive merchandise to
the amount of Sl,50O,000, all of which
should lcgitmntely pass through our
young and growing city, and thc7great
advantages to be gained are obvious to
tho most casual observer.
The cost of transportation on bale OF
cotton froi Kaufman to Jefferson is from
$40 G)l2 80, which then is subjectlo n
long, expensive and prtcarious river navi-
cation before it reaches the seaboard.
From Dallas, cotton Is shipped to Houston
for So, gold, per bale, and from Houston
81 90, currency, including insurance,
making total OF S. 90, coin, per bale,
from Dallas to the sen shore, thereby sav-
ing to the producer and shipper not less
than $40 90, gold, for each and every bale
present crop of said counties Of 100000,
on The single item of cotton alone, to say
nothing of the amount saved by this route
on other articles of export, such as hides,
tallow, wool, etc, ana also the amount to
he saved on all merchandise received for
the consumption Of 10000 people.
These items are sufficient to show the
importance Of making an effort TO secure
the indicated trade.
Now for the means 10 obtain it. The
East Fork of the Trinity river flows thro'
de, low, fiat bottom, the impossible
character of which is well known through
out the length and breadth of Northern
Texas aud il is only necessary to make
passable road through this bottom to
draw into this city the immense trade
above mentioned,
This can be accomplished by building a
plnsk road for distance of II miles thro,
! the bottom at Dougherty's Bridge; and
you can only secure the trade of these
counties by building such road, as will
insure them certainty of receiving
their merchandise ut all seasons OF
tho year. While many are looking to
western and northern Texas for III our
trade, would advise you to look also to
the East, which is able ana willing TO add
at least half to our future commercial pros
perity, and whose liberal. energetic and
gentlemen y business men are only wait
ing to clasp, on half way ground, the
hand of assistance that should be extende d
by the business men of Dallas.

gssy From The Sherman Courier we give
the following census of the new Red River
city, as taken by visiting party from
the former, viz; "Tvo long, hungry
Americans, two Irishmcn, ono Indian,
two cadaverous looking individuals Of
unknown nationality, Mexican mule,
John Q. A. Carter and an Indian 'dorg Of
the male persuasion" We suggest that
this rare description of q neigbbor town
indicates some feeling of rivalship and
envy on the part of Sherman. We trust
both places may flourish and increase
their bounds.

DEATH or Cor. TERRY. We regret TO
learn the death of the we'll known Col.
NAT. TERRY, of Fort Worth, which occur
red on Sunday last. Col. Terry was once
a resident of North Alabama and quite an
active aud distinguished democratic poll
tician there, once being candidate for
Governor, we believe, but for many years
he has resided in Texas, where he has
been widely known and greatly valued
At the democratic State Convention at
Austin, year ago last winter, he was
chosen 10 preside over its deliberations,
and gave much satis faction to all. Fort
Worth, and we may say Northern Texas,
has lost one of its most valuable citizens.
His death must have been quite sudden
and unexpected, though he had reached
the good old age of 80.
