Accounts received from Texas show
that re-organization is proceeding

From Tennessee.
NASHVILLE, Tennessee, October 3,
1865.-Governor Brownlow- delivered
his' annual message to the General
Assembly to-day. He congratulates
the Assembly on witnessing the ter?
mination of the rebellion and the
signal triumph of our arms. In re- !
gard to new subjects of legislation
the wishes of the honest and loyal
people of the State should be consult?
ed, for they are always light. He
recommends amendments and addi?
tions to the franchise law; but says,
"I am by no means an advocate of its
repeal, nor do the loyal people of the
State wish any sweeping change."
The restoration of civil law has work?
ed well, and prosperity is promised in
every cection. , Guilty rebels should
be treated-with severity^jin proportion
to their offences, the mass of them
with not less than len years' disfran?
chisement, and the leaders with
neither mercy nor forbearance. Im?
migration should be fostered and en?
couraged, and a commissioner sta?
tioned at the East to secure a nume?
rous foreign immigration of skilled
labor. He says: "I am convinced
that the white and colored people
. Cannot live together politically or so?
cially as equals." He advocates thu
eetting apart of some portion of the
national territory best adapted for the
purpose for a nation of freedmen
The testimony of negroes is recom?
mended to be taken in the courts on
the same basis as that of white per?
sons. President Johnson's recon?
struction policy is endorsed as the
sole hope ai ?he country.
The Grand Masonic Lodge of Ten?
nessee met to-day for the first time in
four ?years. Large delegations were
in attendance from all parts of the
State. .
The Methodist Episcopal Confer- j
once of Tennessee will meet on Wed- j
nee day, in Edgefield. A large num- <
ber of preachers are already in at- j
tendance. It is expected it will be |
tiie largest assembly since the war.
INSURANCE ON COTTON,-A meeting
of the Board of Commissioners of the
Fire Insurance Companies was held
at New York, on Saturday, the 30th
ultimo, to consider the propriety of
changing the premium on cotton in?
surance. The Board decided, by a.
two-third vote, to make the rate on
cotton, and on other goods in stores
where cotton is stored, one dollar and
thirty-five cent6 on each hundred
dollars, with privilege to the keepers
or owners of the stores to pick cotton
on the premises. Where a stipulation
is made that there shsli be no cotton
picking, the rate will be one per cent.
The large companies will adhere to
, this action, and the effect of it will be
to induce owners of goods to separate
their cotton?from their other mer?
chandize.

THE POOR WHTTE PEOPLE.-Yester?
day a Radical Republican, whose
sympathy for his "oppressed" African
brothers and sisters never extend to
his pockets, was heard to wonder
what would become of the poor negro
this winter? A by-stander answered
his question Yankee fashion, by in?
quiring, *'What will become of the
poor soldiers' widows and little ones,
who have been robbed of their
natural protectors, and left homeless
and destitutes',- The negro sympa?
thiser subsidea.-Wheeling Register.
Traute with Enflaad.
- The London Times gives in its
financial columns a statement of ex
ports during the first half of the pre
I sen* year, and says: .
The total value of our exportations
was ?74,128,638, against ?78,047.r'"r6
in the same period of 1864, show rug
?a falling off or about five per cent.,
I which tis, however, merely nominal,
since it represents not any diminution
' of the actual industry of the country,
\ but simply the reduction in the cost of
! the law material upon which that in?
dustry' has been exercised. Indeed,
I there is reason to believe #that the re?
duction in this respect* has been on
the average considerably more than
sufficient to account for the difference
between the respective totals, and
; that in point of actual receipts for
; work the past half year has exceeded
in prosperity any previous period.
At the same time, the list presents
changes in the direction of our trade
? such as would forniedy have been
deemed incredible in such a short in?
terval. As regards, our own posses?
sions, the usual steadiness is shown.
The shipments to India have been
larger in value than those of last
year, notwithstanding the fall in
prices, and in those to Australia
there lias been a distinct revival.
But, a^ regards foreign countries,
thc remarkable fact is exhibited that
the .United States have taken from us
only one-half even of the amount of
goods they imported in the same pe?
riod of last year, and that instead of
figuring as heretofore, far at the head
of all other nations, they now stand
considerably below Germany. "With
France, dur trade, which had expe?
rienced a re-action' from the first
great impulse consequent on thc com
1 merci al treaty, now shows a renewe*d
and very satisfactory 'increase. Tho
totals for Turkey and Egypt continue
large. Mexico figures for an advance
of moro than fifty per cent., and the
Argentine Republic and New Gra?
nada, which includes the Isthmus
transit, likewise each exhibit a nearly
equal improvement. With Brazil,
our business has been fairly main?
tained, and it may be remarked that
such is the growing importance of
British commerce with the States of
South and Central America, that it
amounts in the present hst to ?3,222,
620, and is, therefore, above that
either of Germany or America. Spain
shows a considerable faning off. "With j
Denmark likewise, there has been a
decline, which is attributable to the
deduction of the shipments io Schles?
wig-Holstein, these being now ab?
sorbed by Germany.- With Japan,
there has been an extraordinary in?
crease, from ?162,554 to ?704,713.
An increase in the apparent trade to
Greece is simply? in consequence of
the transfer of the Ionian Islands.
TEH NAIL TRADE.-The Pittsburg
Gazelle, of Saturday, says:
In consequence of the advancing
tendency in the metal market, and*
the increased price of labor, our iron
men have been compelled to make an?
other advance in the price of iron
and nails. Common bar iron nails
are quoted at 5??c., and lOd. to 6d.
! nails at 6>?c. The demand for both
of these articles has been quite active
for some time past, and nearly, if not
all, of our mills have more orders
than they can fill-even at the ad?
vance, p
It is bdt proper to remark that the
advance has not yet been passed upon
by the "Iron Association,'' but there
is no doubt but what it will receive
the sanction of that body at its next
meeting, and, in the meantime, the
rates above noted, we are assured,
will be strictly adhered to.
The police of New York have ar?
rested two infamous wretches, a Dr.
Grindle and a Mrs. Mary Rolfe, pro?
fessional abortionists, on the charge
of having, by their .hellish practices,
caused the death of Miss Lucy
Sagendorf, of Ulster County, New
York Four women were found in
Grindle's house, all enciente. Upon
searching the premises, intruments
were found for prodn ing abortions,
and a quantity of letters from differ?
ent paries m the city and out inquir?
ing the terms upon which abortions
would be produced. James J. Hicks,
ol Buffalo, married Miss Sagendorf
on her death bed.
Rocen* accounts from Texas'would
indicate that the military department
of the Government there is under
much better and more jndicious
management than in. most parts of
ihe South. ?There seems to be no
interfemce with the civil authority as
exercised by the appointees of Gover?
nor Hamilton, whose .administration
of nffairs is latterly giving much
j satisfaction.
R?dicaU B?dly WhlpH.
On, the proposition for amending
the State Constitution by an exten?
sion of the right of suffrage to the'
blacks, the people of Connecticut, on
Monday last, by a decided majority,
rejected this proposed amendment, j
The result, so far as Connecticut is j
ccncersedi is a matter o? but utile i
consequence; for, had the amendment j
been adopted, it would have added
less than three thousand votes to the j
vote of the State from its black popu?
lation. But a question and a princi- j
pie were involved as broad as the !
issue between the abolition radicals
and President Johnson in reference
to Southern "restoration, and upon
this issue the result of this incidental
Connecticut election is of the highest
national importance.
Whatever the white people of Con?
necticut may think in regard to the ,
isolated question of extending the
right of suffrage to the blacks within
their borders, they have emphatically
declared that this is not the time for
this concession, when such concession
would involve a condemnation of
President Johnson's programme of
Southern reconstruction. The local
issue was merged in the national one,
and Connecticut has voted to sustain
the President in his plan of leaving
the question of negro siiffrage in the
South to be settled hereafter bv the
several States concerned. The moral
effect of this vot e of Connecticut will
be very great, North and South. It
will strengthen the Pr?sidant in both
sections, and it will go very far to
defeat tho game of the radicals in the
now Congress.
President Johnson is now backed
in this Connecticut election by a very
powerful nrgunient. He has shaped
his Southern policy from the con?
viction that it would be unwise and
mischievous to enforce negro suffrage
upon tho lato rebellious States to-day.
in which the institution of slavery
was abolished only yesterday ; and he
may now boldly ask, am I not right
in this ? If Connecticut, with a mere
handful of citizens of African descent.,
is not yet prepared to give them the
right of suffrage, relieved of slavery
as she has been for more than half a
century, what justice will there be in
forcing this thing of negro suffrage
upon South Carolina, in which her
bewildered freedmen of to-day were
yesterday her passive, ignorant slaves,
and to the extent of more than half
the population of the State ? How
can the representatives of Connecti?
cut in Congress vote for this test of
loyalty after this vote*of weir own
State against it ?
These questions the abolition radi?
cals will find it hard to answer. It
will not avail them to plead that this
Connecticut election went by default,
nor will it do to argue that thia vote
of Connecticut does not apply to
South Carolina. The simple truth is
that Connecticut has approved the
course of Andrew Johnson in the
South, of postponing the question of
negro suffrage to a more convenient
season, and this we doubt not is the
gopular sentiment of all the Northern
tates.- Nero York Herald, ?t?.
PUT HTS" FOOT DOWN FIRMLY.-An !
exchange says:. .
The President will not interfere
with the action of the Southern
bishops. * They may unite with the
Northe? churches or not, as they
please. In reply to the remonstrance
of the Radicals, he stated that the
Constitution was silent upon the
subject.
Tho President does but very little
to oblige or conciliate the gentlemen
who hold loyalty and devotion to the
African to be synonymous. They
wished him to reduce the Southern
States to territories, and he refused.
They wished him to appoint provi?
sional governors from the loyal States,
and he refused.
CHURCH** CLOSBD.-According to
a military order issued by General
Woods, all the Episcopal Churches
in Alabama are to bo closed, on ac?
count of the refusal of Bishop Wilmer
to order the prayer for the President
to be read. The prayer has been
heretofore omitted,'on the ground
that the authority of an ecclesiastical
council was necessary to amend the
prayer according to the established
facts of the day.
ROBBED.-Mrs. Mary J. Zernow, ii
resident of Charleston, S. C., and
stopping at French's Hotel, New
York, has been robbed of $1,320 in
greenbacks. The chambermaid is ac?
cused of the robbery.
MOVEMENTS OE* COTTON.-A Cairo
despatch of September 25 says 1,4.00
bales cotton passed for Cincinnati,
500 bales for Evansville, 415 bales for
St Louis, and 30 balee for Boston.
GEORGIA ITEMS.-Five-eighths of
the Columbus factory has been pur?
chased by Mr. J. Metcalf, of Nash?
ville, Tenn. The remaining three
eighths is owned by Mr. Clapp, one
of the bid proprietors. We learn it
is the intention of the parties to have
the buildings erected at once, and
twenty-four thousand spindles in ope?
ration before the beginning of the
yeer.
W. Jones, tried before the com?
mander of the post at Newman. Capt.
Sloan, on the charge of homicide, for
killing a negro, has been discharged.
It was proved that the negro was an
outlaw.
Col. Sulivan, of Americas, shot a
soldier, a few days since, who .vas
getting into his vineyard. . The Colo?
nel has been sent to Macon to be
tried by court martial. The soldier
was slightly wounded.
The Savannah Herald says the po?
lice have instructions to arrest all
colored people found in the streets
after 9 o'clock at night, unless they
have proper passes from their em?
ployers, stating how they are limited
j to pass. .
'< LOUISIANA.-A letter from Wash?
ington says of Louisiana, that-r
' 'Gen. Canby's action in suspend
ing tho functions of the officer who
arrested the Judge at Shreveport for
presuming upon the right to try of?
fences against the freedmen, is fully
I endorsed here, and the same privi
! leges (jurisdiction of the civil courts)
! will, I learn, be extended to all the
States as soon as their courts are
thoroughly organized. This is a
stretch of good feeling that the States
shoi?d fully appreciate, inasmuch as
I the right in question could hardly be
? claimed prior to the official promul
I gation of their* complete restoration."
( A FIX FOR A YOUNG GENTLEMAN.
A very nice young gentleman, whose
name we do not deem necessary to
I ventilate, recently invested a small
sum in chickens, which he undertook
to take homo on the Dauphin street
cars. After proceeding a short dis?
tance the attention of all the passen?
gers, a large proportion of whom
were ladies, was called to him by one
of bis purchases raising a loud and i
continued cackle. In vain he tried to
j quiet the bird; the ladies "tittered"
and pulled down their veils; thc gen?
tlemen on board "haw-hawed," and
our young friend, in his ignorance of
"the situation," blushed. Growing
somewhat restless at being the cyno- !
sure of all eyes, he cast a look into
his lap, and behold-there was an egg.
He immediately quit the car and *jfcir
sued his way homeward on foot.
Imagine his "pheelinks."

"NOTHING LIKE LEATHER."-The
tanning mills in this State are now in
full operation, and some kinds of
leather cannot be prepared fast
enough to meet tho want of the shoe
manufacturers. Ti e tanners. are
behoved to have nade large profits
the last-two or th.ee years. At pre?
sent they are paying high prices for
materials, and we understand that
hemlock bark, which is yearly becom
.ing scarcer in the market, is now
worth seventeen* dollars per cord in
this nutrket.
