Maj, Longlcy, under tho direc~
ton Of the Governor, came hore
from Austin to organize q minute
company for the purpose, ostcnsi-
bly, at least, Of protecting these up
per counties from Indian incur
sins. This is much needed and
would be very acceptable to the
people had the Major chosen citi'
zens experienced in this matter,
and whose time was not already
taken up in the performance of
other public duties. We under
stand lie mustered into his service
q man sent from Washington hero
as q mounted Inspector Of Gus!
toms, and who already gets from
tho U. S. Government some four
dollars per day to give his undi-
vided attention to tho protection
of tho revenue. A State police
man, public school teacher, q
deputy hide Inspector and others,
were also mustered in, all of whom
were paid to perform their re-
spoctive dutics and DO at all times
at their posts. None of these
men can be expected to so on In
dian scouts without neg'ecting
their other duties, and thus they
draw thicr double salaries while
they can perform but tho duties
of but one office. 1t is suggested
that the Major did not intend tho
Indians to suffer, but that his tx
ccllency wished to distribute some
of the State money on the eve OF
the election among his faithful ad-
herents to carry tho election
This is the solution, and thus tho
mon, of whom there are many who
could give their time TO Indian
scouting, We're left out because not
of tho pure party, and Others al
ready living off the money OF th0
people, mustered and paid for u
duty they cannot and will not
try to perform.
Let every citizen note this fact,
and the man who would vote To
keep such party in power, well
deserves to have himself and his
children saddlcd with our present
debt of SIS, 100000, paid to men
who give us in return neither pro
lection, thanks or peace, idle strnG.

WHAT TEXAS OFFERS.

AS an evidence of the interest
which has been evoked by our ar
ticles concerning tho advantages
of the Southwest, it may bc men
toned that among the many per-

to obtain copies of the pamphlet en-
titled "What l Saw in Texas"
written by the editor of The Press,
was responsible and respectable
representative of five hundred
young men of Eastern Pcnnylva-
nia-farmcrs, clerks, mechanics,
ctc.-who are dcsirous Of cmigra-
ting to somc part of the Southwest.
Most Of them have small capitals,
from five hundred to u thousand
dollars, representing generally the
savings Of many years, and are dc
termined to invest them in some OF
the numerous profitable enterprises
and branches of business which are
waiting for them in newer coun-
try and moro genial climate. Some
of these propose to settle at Mar

the Territories of New Mexico and
Colorado are doubtless the best
adapted TO stock-growing.
They possess the two prime req
uisitcs, viz, ample grazing lands
and the first two especially, a warm
climate. the winters there being
scarcely more severe than our au'
tumn here in Pennsylvania.
According to the Texas Almanac
for 1867, the temperature of North
western Texas during the so-called
winter months ranges from fifty
six to seventy degrees Fahrenheit
except during the temporary "nor
thers," or winds from the north
when il does not often fall below
thir,y-two degrees, or the freezing
point. To qaote from the same au

The Southern Review.

This admirable Quarterly for October
has arrived, ..and seems to be an. unusual
good number from an inspeotion.ot its
contents. We give them as follows:
I. Apostolic Succession.
ii. Greater Britain.
III. Hume's.. Philosophy.
IV.sWit and Humor.
v. The Connection between Religion
and Civil Government.
vi. Formation of the Elizabethan Eng.
lish.
VII. Ecclesiastical Accumulation of
Wealth.
VIII. The Character of the late War.
TX. Notices of Books.
Here we have valuable variety Of sub
jects, ably treated, SO as to interest oil
persons of education and proper culture.
The second article, Greater Britain, is a
most scorching review Of Sir Charles W.
Dilkes travels, under that title, through q
portion Of the United States and other
countries, where the English race and
tongue prevail.
We read this work on its first appear
ance, and took occasion to pronounce q
similar judgment upon it. Its treatment
of the Southern States and Southern char.
acter exhibits an ignorance and prejudice,
shameful in the last degree. Sir Charles
Dixie is an English radical, and, like all
other radicals, the world over, is not to be
trusted for facts, where his prejudices or
interests are in the least effected. Unless
the conservative people of England keep
strict guard over their long cherished lib
critics and put their feet upon these radi-
cal reptiles, they will, before long, under
60 the doleful fate of this once favored
land. Our watchword is, down with radi-
calism everywhere.

Sometime ago there lived gentleman of

was cordially received by the Quaker, he think

far to see him. He treated his friend with great
attention and politeness for several days, but as
came uneasy, but bore it with patience till the

"My friend, am afraid thee will never visit me-
again." 'oh, yes, I shall,' said the visitor: ;

BEFORE THE BURIAL.

Earth, let thy softest mantle rest
This wearied child to thee returning,
Whose youth WAS nurtrrcd at thy breast,
Who loved thee with such tender yezrnipgl
He knew thy fields and Woodlawn ways,
Aud deemed thy hurnblest son his brother -
Asleep, beyond our blame or praise,
Weyield him back, O gentle Mother
OF praise, Of blame, he drank his fill,
Who has not read the ife-long story?
And dear VIC hold his fame, but still
The man was dearer than his glory.
And now to us are left alone
The closet where his shadow lfngets,
The vacant chair-that was throne-
= Tho pen Just fallen from his fingers.
Wrath changed to kindness On TINT pen;
Though dipped in gall it flowed with honey;
One fash from out the cloud, and then
The gEes with smile and jest were sunny;
OF hate he eurely lacked the art,
Who made his enemy his lover:
Oh reverend head and Christian heart!
Where now their like the round world oyer2
He saw the goodness, not the taint,
In many poor, do-nOthinE creature,
: And gave to sinner md to saint,
But Kept his faith in human nature;
Perchance he WAS not world1y-wise,
Yet we who noted, standing nearer,
The ahrewd, Kind twinkle in his eyes,
For every weakness held him dearer.
Alas that unto him who gave
So much, SO little should be given!
Hi1nself alone, he might not save
OF al for whom his hands had striren.
Place, freedom, fame, his work bestowed:
Meu took, and passed, ind left hlr1 lonely -
What marvel, If beneath his load,
At times he craved for-justice onlyl
yet rhankIessness, the serpentrs tooth,
His lofty purpose could not alter;
Toll had no power to bend his youth,
Or make his lusty manhood falter;
From enVy's sling, from SANDERS dart,
That ar1nored soul the body shielded,
TIL one dark SORROW chilled his heart,
And then he bowed his head, and yielded.
Now, nov, We measure at it's worth
The gracious presence gone forever
The wr:nkled East, that gave him birth,
Laments with every 1aboring river;
Wild moan tho free winds Of the West
For him who gathered to her prairies
The sons Of men, and made each crest.
The haunt Of happy household fairies;
And anguish sits upon the mouth
OF her who came to know him latest.
His heart was ever thine, o South!
He WIS thy truest friend, and greatesti
He sh,1nned thee in thy splendid shame,
He stayed thee in thy voice]ess sorrow;
The day thou shall forget his name,
Fair South. can have no sadder morrow.
The tears that fall from eyes unused,-
The hands above his grave united
The words Of men whore lips he loosed,
Whose cross he bore, whose wrongs be righted,
Could he but know, and rest with this!
Yet stay, through Deaths 1ow-lyiug hollow,
His one last foes insatiate hiss
On that benignGnt shade would follow!
Pcacet while we shroud this man of men
Let no urhauowed word be spoken!
He will not answer thee again,
His month Is sealed, his wand is broken.
Some honer cause, some yaster trust
Beyond the vail, he doth inherit;
O gently, Earth, receive his dust,
And Heaven soothe his troubled spirit
