These mounlin regions gave to the armies of the South ? >tno ot our best soldiers, and it is due to r icui that I should declare, what I do here 1 ith inlinitc gratification, that I had in my 1 inks none better, braver or more devoted t lun the men of this and the adjoining j istricts. In your presence I desire to 1 mder to them xny heartfelt thanks for a leir conduct as soldiers. They have the r roud consciousness of having pcrlbitned c lelr duty to the State, and this will be u )inc couipeusatiou to them for the result ] [ the war. . ml brother soldiers, whilst j e acquiesce in the results oi this war, let f s not admit that the cjusc of it was un- c istifiablc or wrong. I accapt the ti rms f pun which we laid down our arms, in r ood faith, and it is our duty to observe r icso terms faithfully; but whilst I do 0 lis, I shall never ss?y that wc had not (] ght on our* side?I shall never hold my '| tatc as guilty or her sons as traitors. The L iuse is not to bo judged by suciqjis or t ilure. Success does uot inevitably make <. ght or truth or justice, nor does failure c ways imply evil, wrong or falsehood. If c ic justice ol a cause always insured sue ss, l'olaud, Hungary and Ireland would t >i now groan under tlio heel of an op- ]w ressor, nor would the South be reduced to io baa couuiiion ui wtiiulistic tinds iierscll > day. l>ut sad us is the condition oi our ^ . loved land, we must not forsake it. Micas need of ?!! her sous. You know that 1 i years that are just passed, you regarded I as yeur highest duty to stand by your t dors. So now it is your uuty to stand by t lur State. JJcr colors are nailed to the ast, and let us stand or lull with her. ivo her all the aid you can, and ^ she sinks, at least let us go down >1 it It her. For these reaacus, I have dis- s niraged aniigiution. I believe it is ou> t ighost duty to assist in the re-establish- c cut of law, order, 'j/vuce , udp tin e idows and orpbuns made by the war, and t i endeavor to raise our prostrate and bleed ig country. We may not be able to do b uch towards alleviating the suffering and i: irrows tf our people, but we at least can d ke our share of them, and thus lighten t le general burden by distributing it >1 nongst us all. To the accomplishment ol \ tcse objee's?the highest that patriotism c in inspire?I invoke your earnest eo ope- v it ion. It will require all your energy, all d lur strength, alt your endurance, to ic f ore hope to our people or vitality to our ii tutc. i We can expect nothing from the Gov- c ntnent of the United Mates, whatever iriy may he in power.

Life in Texas.?A correspondent rrltes: Almost every uian you meet caries a huge revolver in his belt and proba ily has a bowie knife under his vest. Tlicy augh at the little revolvers common at he >T rth; call tlicm pop-guns, and rosicct nothing but a navy six shooter or a 3allard rifle. Look round in any bar-room, ,nd you will see marks of Derringer and evolver bullets all around the walls. In very altercation the rule is to shoot first nd argue afterwards. At Richmond, a ittle towu not far from here, I was waitng at the depot the other day, and it hapicncd that a light took place in a bar room ppoaite. The scuffle had lasted about iltcen seconds, when a brawny Texan near no who at first had maninife.sted an inclilation to cross over and see the fun, turned m his heels with a countenance of deep lisgust, exclaiming : " They're Irish. They're not Americans, or there'd have icen a shot fired now." Inquiry showed hut he was right, and this little incidence jave luc a curious glimpse into the customs if the country. Human life is of less aoount here than horse flesh There has toon nobody hung for murder in Texas in he Inst ten years, but a great many Lave icen hung lor horse stealing. The Xew York Daily Xews tells the bllowing dog and Davis story: Afkerthe ncarccration of Daris ;rs ortr-ss Monroe, an old dog uppeared to mdcrstnnd that the prisoner was some noed individual, and when .Davis was allowd to take exercise out-of door?, the old lou's ejus glistened and his caudal nppenlagc twirled in the air, giving undoubted igns ot gladness. rl his d.'g tallowed the outsteps ot "J. D.'' on all his pedestrian xcureions, and wht n he returned to the aseiii.tie would quietly lie ctawu, and pa ionrI3 await thohcinia describe as one of the most heartending sights ii:;n inable ; the crowds of .omen, both of the highest and lowest larscs, who having rushed to the cocncsof arnugo treui all parts ot North and South leruiany, arc seen wandering over the bat ie ueias, inrougn lazarets and hospitals, I joking fbr their fathers, husbands, broilers mid lovers. The terrible erics that very now and rhon strike tho ear when ne of these heartbroken creatures h.19 uddcnly discovered her dearest frieud mong a heap of slain or dying 011 tho tulle fioid, or among the thousands of the ick, are said to shake even those most ardened against all forms and expressions f human mi-cry. It is ehielly in Turnau, there the thousands of wounded of Sadow, t present arc housed, and tendt d by the lu.mrous Sisters of Mercy and Knights of it. John of Jerusalem, where these scenes mostly occur. Many of the poor ladies iavc to return to their homes without findng those they sought, and tho ordinary leans ol communication being very much ntcrruptcJ, they often think themselves joky if they obtain a small seat on an am luuition wagon, or a vehicle filled with onvalcscent soldiers rej lining their corps, iut 1 hey arc every where treated kindly and ourtcously. A Qua kkr Woman's Sehmon.?My | lear friends, there are three, things ttint I cry much wonder at. The first i*< that ?1.?1.1 i.~ ? r-.i ? . - iruit u diiuuih l??j ho IOOli.>ll as CO lltroW ip stones, clubs and brickbats into fruit recs to knock down fruit, if they would at it alone it would tall itself. The see>nd is, that men should be so foolish as to ;n to war and kill each other. If let alone hey would die thein-elvos. Thcthirdand tst tiling I wonder at is, that young men liould bo so unwise an to go after young roineu If tlicy would stop at home tbc oung women would cotne nftor them. Numbers ot Moroion emigrants, en route for litli Lake, died at St. Joseph, Missouri, of holera. ? ??? ? The cotton reports from Georgia. Honda, ilubama and Mississippi ere very disconragog Pretty and Cablbibtio.?Doe* It seem all but incredible to you that intelligence should travel for two thousand milee, along those slender oopper wires, far down in ail but fathomless Atlantic, never before penetrated by aught pertaining to hoinauitv, save when some foundering vessel has plunged with her hapless company to tho eternal silence and darkness of the abyss ? Does it seem, I say, all but a miracle of art, that the thought of living men?the thoughts that we think up here on the earth's surface, io the ohecrful light of day?about the markets, and the exchanges, and the seasons, and the elections, and the treaties, and the ware, and all thefbod nothings of daily life, should elothe themselves with elementary sparks, and shoot with fiery speed, in a moment, in tha twinkling of an eye, from hemisphere to hemisphere, far down among the anoouth monsters that wallow in tho nether seas, along the wreck paved floor, through tha oozy dungeons of tho rayless deep?that the latest intelligence of the crops, whose dancing tassels will, in a few months, ba coquetting with the West winds on those boundless prairies, should go flashing along tho slimy decks of old sunken galleons, which have been rotten forages; that messauts ot friendship and love, from warm, living bosoms, should born over the oold freen bones of men and womeOt whoso earts, onoc as warm as ours, burst as the eternal gulfs cloaed and roared over them centuries ago. Unstamped Instruments.?The following in "The amended Act to provide Internal Revenue," &o., in regard to unstamped instruments, will b? of interest to manv of nnr rMilnn / ? ''Provided, thnt in all cases where (he party has not affixed the stamp repaired by law upon any instrument made, signed, or issued, at a time when, and at a plaoe where no collection district was established, it shall be lawful for him or them, or any party having an interest therein, to affix the proper stamp thereto, or if the original bo lost, to a copy thereof; and the instrument or copy to which the proper stamp has b"?u thus affixed prior to the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, and the record thereof, shall be as valid to all intents and purposes as if stau ped by the collector in manner hereinbefore provided. Bat no right acquired in good faith before the stamping of such instrument or copy thereof, and the recording thereof', as herein provided, if such record bo required by law, shall in any manner be affected by such stamping as aforesaid." The Jews? A religious journal gives a remarkable account illustrating the credulity of the Jews in Russia and Poland in respeet to their expected Messiah. In Sada Gods, a solitary dirty Jowisli town iu a desolate region of tho Buscovine, there residue a family from which the Messiah is expeetod to come according to tho belief of tvrothirds of the Jews residing in tho Slavon io countries. The present patriarch of the family is represented as an old idiot, who is reduced to the lowest state of stupidity, and who has amassed millions by means of his superstitious act. Tho Jews consider it a sacred duty to visit tho chief of their Messianic family at least once in their Hie, each one taking a tributary gift, never less than a pound steiling. Every possible kind of magnificence and luxury is stored up in the chambers of his palace, and the elegant mansions of his daughters and sons-in law, who arc selected from tho richest of tho rich Tho palace contains a silver-room, with all conceivable a: tides of plato, reckoned to bo worth several hundreds of thousands of. rubles. The most magnificent Turkish, carpets and the heaviest damask curtains arc piled in tho sitting-rooms, all the VOtirt offerings of the deluded Jews. Encouraging? * One of the most astonishing features of the election yesterday, was the fuctthat every ward in the city gave a majority fertile Democratic candidates. Never in the history of Louisville, and seldom in the history of any other city, has such an event occurred. It is tho highest evidence of the popularity of our nomineo and of the confidence of tho people in the party which plnccd him on the traok. There are twelve wards in tho city, somo of which the lladicala considered as aura for their ticket as tho rising of the ran, btuh the great ground swell of popular entha sia.Mu rolled over them and carried Duvall and Hardin on its topmost wave. Louiaville has shaken the dust of radicalism from hor feet, not only in the aggregate, but in detail. She stands forth, puro and spotless, as a virgin arrayed for tho altar, an object of enthusiasm for her friends and of wonder for her enemies. LouittilU Courier, Aug. It A. I
