Tho Committee appointed by the Texas
Convention formally delivered a copy of the

together with all the other States recently
in rebellion, would soon be restored to
their normal condition, and that their
citizens would be admitted to full partici?
pation in ita blessings and protection.
The proceedings in the Senate were un?
important .
The House passed the bill to establish
the grado of General in the army, io which
Gt-n. Grant will undoubtedly be appointed.
Judge Sharkey, in his evidence
before the Reconstruction Committee
the other day, explains very tersely
and satisfactorily why the Southern
people have elected men who were
identified with the fortunes of the
Confederacy during tho war to lill all
the offices. Says the Judge, "We
really had no material of respectabili?
ty to run against them." This is
true, and it is the testimony of a
Union man. Our most respectable
and intelligent people, with few ex?
ceptions, went into "rebellion." And j
yet the radicals would have us pick
ap all ?he incompetent, inexperienced |
men, and.place them in positions of
power and profit.
It needs no argument to demon?
strate that our ablest and purest tuen j
were either secessionists or were iden- j
tified with them during the war. nor :
need we now attempt to prove that j
those very men lire tho persons upon |
whose fidelity* the Government can I
repose in the greatest confidence, j
Even before the "Reconstruction i
Committee" it has been shown that
the late Confederate soldiers, of all
our people, are best disposed towards
the United States, and give their an- '
thority the most cheerful support.
How incomparably superior and pre?
ferable are such men-how "much
more valuable to a nation and all its :
interests than deserters, skulkers and
time-servers.
It seems that the manly virtues and I
open sincerity of the Southern people j
are not yet appreciated by the radi?
cals of the North. We believe their |
soldiers ?md sailors know us best of
all and like us best. These know the
difference between a secessionist and
a so-called "Union man" at the South,
and it will be found, both in political j
and personal matters, they will trust !
the former sooner thau they will the i
latter. They show their discernment
and sense of justice by such senti?
ments. The Southern people recip?
rocate these feelings, and like to-day
the brave men who fought them bet?
ter than they do the radical sneaks
and cowards who stayed at home and
are now furiously brave, when the
war is over.-Richmond Times.
NSouthern papers report great da- i
nage from the late storm of rain and
feil, which seems to have been gene- \
k| from Texas to Georgia. All the
rivers and bayous were out of their
banks, and the crops will have to be '
replanted. The Arkansas River, near
its mouth has been out of its banks
for many weeks, and planters are
much disheartened, as the high
water now coming down the Missis?
sippi will complete the rain caused
by the long continued flood of the
Arkansas.
The counsel for Isham Henderson,

in refusing to release Henderson on a

Interesting Report.
Tho report just made by tho Pro?
vost Marshal-General of the Uuited
States of the details and operations
of the Federal conscript laws during
the late civil war is an exceedingly
interesting paper. During the first
eighteen months of tho war, the
Federal Government relied for re?
cruits upon the enthusiasm which
sent so mauy thousands to the field
as soon as Fort Sumter fell, and the
Conscript Bureau was not establish?
ed until the early part of 18G3. At
that time the military ardor of the
North was no longer At fever heat,
and 400,000 additional troops were
required for offensive military opera?
tions. Few. if any, volunteered, and
thousands were deserting the service
as the terrible disasters of 1803 were
followed by a long period of inac?
tivity upon the part of the Federal
armies.
The insufficiency of the system of
recruitment previously pursued had
been demonstrated, and the army was
diminished by the ordinary casualties
of war, hut more rapidly by the expi?
ration of the terms for which the
troops were engaged to serve. Tho
General Government, through this
Bureau, assumed direct control of tho
business which had heretofore been
transacted mainly by the State Go?
vernments. Tlie Provost Marshals j
of the several Congressional Districts, j
aided by a Commissioner and Sur- j
geon each, were recruiting officers. !
Springing directly from the people,
and at the same time exercising the
authority and representing the ne- !
cessities and wishes of the Govern- j
ment, they reached the masses and
were able, without abating the re- i
quirements of tho conscription, to j
promote volunteering, and to ex- |
amine, enlist, muster, cloth*; and for- |
ward recruits as fast as they could be
obtained. The quotas of districts
and sub-distriets were made known.
Each locality was advised of the num?
ber it was required to furnish, and in
the event of failure, then the draft
would follow.
The report of the Provost Marshal
General, which has just been sent
into the Senate and ordered to be
printed, shows that the aggregate
number of men capable of perform
ing military service in the Federal
armies during the late war was 3,254,
571?. and of this number 1,(?00,016 1
were in service and fit for duty when
the war ended. The Confederate ;
force ill the held at that time could
not lowe exceeded 130.(100 men of all
anns. The statistics of this report
are exceedingly interesting, and we
present the following condensed .sum?
mary of the most important of these
statistics:
"1,120,021 men were raised, nt au
average cost (mi account of recruit?
ment, exclusive of bounties) of ??.*..S4
per man, while the cost of recruiting
of 1,350,693 raised prior to the or?
ganization of the Bureau was ?34.01
per man.
"76,526 deserters were arrested and
returned to the anny.
"The quotas of men furnished by i
the various parts of the country were :
equalized, and a proportionate share
of military service secured from each,
thus removing the very serious in
equality of recruitment which had j
arisen during the first two years of
tile war, and which, when the Bureau
was organized, had become an almost
insuperable obstacle to the further |
progress td' raising troops.
"Records wert' completed showing
minutely the physical condition of
1,014,776 of the men examined, and
tables of great scientific and profes?
sional value have been compiled from
this data.
"The casualties in the entire mili?
tary force of the nation during the
?-war, as shown by the official muster
rolls and monthly returns, have been

"These figures have been carefully

claimed for them, us errors and omis?
sions to some extent doubtless pre?
vailed in the rolls and returns.

PHOORKSS OF MANUFACTURES.--The
Chicago Republican, of the 10th in
I stant, says:
"Moro than forty new factories',
the majority of them, we believe, for
the production of woolen goods, are
to be erected in Illinois this summer.
The capital employed in them will
exceed $1,000,000.' The benefit of
these new undertakings will be great
to all classes of the community, but
the interest which will be most pro?
fited fey them, will be that of agri?
culture. "
The people of Illinois appreciate
the advantages which a multiplicity
j of manufacturing establishments will
; confer upon their State. The South?
ern States will be compelled to manu?
facture more of what they use than
has ever been done yet. In recon?
structing the industry of the South
this object should bc kept steadily in
view. The manufacturo of cotton is
that which should engage the atten?
tion of thc Southern people, lt can
be made moro profitable than any
other branch for tho reason that the
cotton is grown nt thc door of the i
factory.
TROUBLE rs CHATTANOOGA.-We
copy the following statement from
the Chattanooga Union, of Tuesday:
About 1 o'clock, yesterday after?
noon, some regular soldiers came out
of a bar-room with bottles of whiskoy
in their hands, with which they as?
sailed a crowd of colored soldiers,
who retaliated, and drew largo num?
bers to their assistance, when more
regulars arrived, and a general row
ensued, in the midst of which a regu?
lar kicked one of his own officers
several yards.
This same gang of rowdy regulars
proceeded up the street, howling and
behaving in a shamefully outrageous
manner, attacking every poor devil
so unfortunate as to possess a sable
skin. Friendly pistols were fired,
and a crowd gathering, took sides
with tho two parties, and a rumpus
was kicked up which, fortunately,
was bloodless.
During the evening, a late United
I States officer was stanping in tho
door of his store, talking about the
officers of the colored regiments not
doing their duty in not suppressing
the row. His observations were taken
up by a couple of officers of colored
troops, and another row ensued, out
of which the late officer retired on]y
to renew the attack when he caught
tht"r**two above mentioned together
alone. General Lester, however,
quieted the brawl, and peaco was
once more restored, until the notori?
ous Em. Battles carno on the field.
She was persecuted, but she would
not yield an inch, and fought her
own way, smashing things with a vim
that astonished all beholders. She
was left alone in her glory, and re?
tired covered with laurels.
Later still, another unfortunate
African, near Kunz ?Sr Bohrs' store,
was run against by the soldiers, and
chased up one street and down an?
other, doubling and countermarch?
ing on the double-quick, but he was
! flanked hy a detail heading him off,
j and the poor fellow's yells were heart
rending as they stoned and abused
him.
This may be fun to the boys, but
[ it is death to the darkies. Never be
fore have we been called upon tc
I chronicle such unwarrantable abuse
j of freedmen, and we trust that thc
j officers of the Sixteenth Regular?
i can, and will, do something toward'
j quelling tho riotous conduct of theil
i commands; that General Thomas wi!
I act promptly in the matter, and re
turn them to breaking stones. W(
do not pretend to say but that then
are a great many good men in this
regiment, but we are inclined to tin
belief that the majority are by nc
means immaculately honest or wei
intentioned.
THE POLICY, OF HUMANITY.- Gen
Frank P. Blair, of Missouri, one o
the few Republican politicians win
distinguished himself by persona
gallantry in the war, has lately writ
ten a letter to a meeting in St. Louis
in (which he gives utterance to tin
following magnanimous and generou
sentiments. He says, in speaking o
the radicals:
"Such persons are most persisten
in urging measures of unnecessar
harshness and indignity, in order t
irritate and goad our vanquished op
ponents into acts of resistance whicl
will justify the infliction of stil
greater cruelty. If those brave an
unfortunate people could only b
driven by their insults and contumel
to such acts, it would fill the sold c
their malignant persecutors with uv
speakable joy and satisfaction, be
cause it would afford the pretext the
seel, to deny to the Southern peopi
the rights of freemen and free State:
j These Jacobins feel and know that
is necessary to disfranchise the whit
race in the South as affording thci
their only chance of retaining pow<
nnd position.
''What civilized nation on earl
j would hesitate an instant, if the o]
j portunity offered, to incorporate wit
; themselves the bravo and heroic pe
! pie of the South, whose fortitude ai
endurance, in a mistaken cause, cha
lenge the admiration and respect
the world? Would France or Eu,
land, or any other civilized powe
hesitate to give such men the full ai
equal rights accorded to all other cit
zens? Wo^d not those nations 1
most happy to claim, as their ow
such men as Lee and Johnston, and
host of others, and to confer upi
these living heroes the rewards whi<
j genius and courage always cominan
! ed? Would they fail to honor ni
cherish, as a part of their own glor
j the memory of that illustrious throi
of the dead, led by Stonewall Jae
son? Their fame belong to our nai
and nation, and their survivors, ai
mated by an equal courago and de\
tion, and inspired by what we ho
and believe is n better cause, w
hereafter contribute equally with t
noble spirits of the North to the i
uown of our great republic."
Mr. Killian has followed the t
ampio of his Fenian warriors, a

asking if arms intended to prob

work. Mr, Killian left soon aft

to make military preparations, it can?

equally clear denial of hostile inten?
tions having been given hythe Kiug

measures which were called forth by
the attitude of Austria.
The Prussian answer to England's
remonstrance is said to bo cold and
haughty. The Austrian answer says: i
"Austria does not ask an inch of land
in the Dueliies, nor will she accept it. j
Prussia wishes to annex tho Duchies, !
and Austria is bound to support the'
rights of the Schleswig-Holstein peo- ',
pie. She will not dictate to them,
but requires that tho will of the peo?
ple and of the Diet should be re- I
spected. The Prussian and Austrian
troops should be withdrawn, and the
people should choose their Govern
ment by universal suffrage. Austria i
accepts their deci ion, even if in '

The O'M?lioijy bubble has burst

Col. Roberts, left the organization
located at Union Square, tho O'Ma?
hony party have been weakening
gradually and imperceptibly, and it
was only by the most, desparate false?

traitor who had sold the "cause" to
the enemy; Killian having already
asserted the same thing of O'Mahony
in the streets of Eastport, stating that
the reason why his invasion scheme
had come to grief was because "the
