From Houston.

Mr.. T. l.. Tally has returned from
Houston and gives a glowing &C
count of the Confederate reunion,
though he says the accommoda-
tions for the visitors were not suf-
ficient and many people walked the
streets all night searching vainly
for lodgings.
While there he noticed that little
or no advertising Of our approach
ing National II. p. A. convention
had been done among the visitors
or in the city at all. He succeeded
in doing some little work in that
line among few acquaintance,
obtaining their promises to pay US
a visit, but thinks great crowd
would have been attracted, IL the
proper advertising had been done.
