the Houston and New Orleans
Railroad
an d ~ 49, nallalln.

From the Nov oflnana Bulletiu.
The Houston (Texas) Telegraph,
through a reporter, has interviewed
Judge j. II Crosby, who has just re-
! turned from New York, where he has
heen ID Tie interest Of the Houston aud
New Orleans Railroad. From the Tele-
graphs article we make the following
extracts
Judge Crosby informed our reporter
that hy January next the road would
be built to the Trinity River, and an
iirst-cass style, and iu fact, that the
whole ROAD would be built as rapidly as
possible to the Sabine River. one hum
dred aud ten miles from this city. That
new locomotives had been ordered, and
that ms soon rs the consulting engineer,
who would probably be Capt. Hays, Of
the international and Great Northern
road, arrived in the city, proposals for
contracts would be advertised for. A
small force began work yesterday on the
road cleaning off underground along the
right Of way.
The officers of the company arc Mr..
John T.. Terry, Of New York, Presi,
dent Judge J Il. Crosby, of this city,
Vice President and General Manager
and Mr.. 4. w. House, of this city,
Treasurer The duties of the other
offices will Ice performed by assistants
in New York.
This road is being built with the dis
tinct understanding that the Louisiana
end Of the same will be pushed forward |
with equal rapidity.
Reporter-Judge Crosby, be kind
enough to give me in brief the history
and present status of this road
Judge Crosby Well, sir, the road
cost in cash its present owners 50, $780,
300, and owes the State for sixty-eight
miles, from Liberty to Orange, on the
Sabine River, $500, 600. This SO, 500, 900
S redresented rs stock in the new road
,hout to be built. TO bnild and equip
his new road, 81, 900, 600 in bonds on
me hundred and ten miles from Hous-
on to the Sabine River, little more
han $4,000 per mile, will be issued
)f this issue the trustees reserve $780,
100 for paying the States lien, there
ore there will only be sold at present
Il 400, 600 of bonds 500, coo of these
ave been subscribed for by frst-class
len at seventy cents on the dollar, no
interest being collectable thereon until
ll-rail connection is had with New Orr
cans
One great difficulty met with in the
egotiation of these bonds, is the fact ;
nat not a man in Houston or Texas

curse strangers were 10th to purchase {
lese bonds, while our own people /

The further sale of the re-

Negro TnsurrectiOn Discovered.


AUGUSTA, Aug. Is. There was much
excitement to-day in Washington and
Jefferson counties on account of q re-
ported attempt by the negroes at insur-
rection. Eighty arrests were made, and
the white military companies in those
counties ordered by the Governor to
report to the sheriff. The prisoners
were all lodged in jail without re-
sistance.
The alleged plot contemplated q mas
sacre of the whites on the goth inst. 1t
is thought now there will be no further
trouble, though the details are meagre
and indefinite.
Further Arrests Of the Insur-
TeCtiOnists.
AUGUSTA, Aug. 49, Arrests of all
legged negro insurrectionists in Johnson,
Washington and Jefferson counties,
were continued. Thirteen armed me-
groes came into Wrightsville and sur
rendered themselves. In Burke county
q collision between whites and blacks
seems hourly imminent both races are
under arms, and the negroes are re-
ported massed a fcW miles from
Waynesboro.
White scouts we're fred upon by ne
groes this morning. The Burke county
people sent here to-day for troops, but
Gov. Smith declined to let any of the
companies go. A number of volunteers
left for Waynesboro tonight, and it is
feared fight win soon take place.
About one hundred arrests have been
made ia the different counties.
A dispatch from Washington county
reports affairs quieter to-day than yes
terday. About fifty arrests have been
made. Confessions duplicating those
arrested have been made. Ex.Gov.
Hersehell ". johnson, who il Judge OF

AN IRATE EX-pOSTMAETER.

Some time after his election to the
United States Senate, Senator Nc
MILAN saw fit to ask the President to
appoint DR.. Day Postmaster at st.
Paul in place of Mr., Wheelock. I'm
der rule which has obtained gener-
al recognition, giving a Senator or
Congressman the right to control the
appointment Of postmaster Of the
place where he resides, Senator Nc
MILAN was warranted in making this
request, and the line of action chosen
by Mr.. Wheelock after the close of the
Senatorial contest left him, consistent
ly with his selfrespect, no other course
to pursue. After considerable delay,
the result mainly, as is understood, of
ex-senator Ramsey's influence at
Washington, the change was finally
made by the acceptance Of a condi-
tional resignation forwarded by Mr..
Wheelock lApril 10th and the ap-
pointment of DR.. Day.
This change is made by the ex-Post-
master the subject of several lengthy
and exceedingly bitter editorials in
the Psoneer-P Press, in which Senator
Mcmillan, the President, the Post
ster-General, the Government,
Civil Service, and persons and things
generally are made to take about an
equal share of the excoriation. The
exp. NJ, we are given to understand,
does not care so much on his own &C.
count; it is not for himself that he is
interested; but hesees in his removal,
to make place for a dependent hire
ling On indication that the country
is swiftly and surely going to the bad.
While people may appreciate this
patriotic disinterestedness on the part
Of Mr.. Wheelock, they will scarcely
share in his gloomy forebodings as to
the effect the change in the St. Paul
post Office will have upon the country
at large. They will be inclined to
look upon it as purely apersonal mat
ter, about which they do not feel
called upon to get unduly excited
Pretty general confidence is felt in
the good sense, the good intentions,
the uprightness and the Republican
ism of Senator Mcmillan, and his
course in the present case will not
tend to seriously disturb that conf
dence.
Mr.. Wheelock is mad. In fact he
has been mad ever since Mr.. Ramsey.
was defeated for reelection. He
then set to work to tomahawk Senator
Mcmillan, Governor Davis, ex-Gov-
ernor Armstrong, Gen. Hubbard, the
Minneapolis delegation and about ev'
erybody who had dared to be anti
Ramsey who was within reach, and to
bury the entire Republican party
Now that his own $4,000 scalp has
been lifted, he fires up worse than ev-
er and goes right up to white heat.
But he will be calmer by-and-by, and
the world will look brighter to him.
After the dwindling away of the Fisher
wave and the triumphant reelection
of good Republican, he will come
to the conclusion that politics are not
his forte, and will sensibly decide to
devote his time and talents to philos-
