The ' Beef Trade" in Texas. We take the following article on the "Beef Trade'' from the Houston (Texas) Telegraph, of December 10th: Thus far ihe intercourse of the Abolitionists with our people seem to be confined to trading for beef. They have generally come ashore and taken the lieeves they wanted, when some ot our military boys almost always happen along to take the pay The tariff established is two Abolitionists for one beef Sometimes they get off without p*ying, but our military boys are sure to make it up in the next trade. So far the number of beeve9 taken has been about thirty. Wo have got in payment about twenty live Abolitionists, and there have beeu about filly killed and wound* ed To be sure beef cattle are valuable, but we have nlotiltr aP ^ ?

An old friend of ours, w ho hasn't a good use of our language, always tries to extend his hostility i hospitality) to his friends. When tbey come lis likes to t reat them in a hostile manner. That's just about the way the Texans are treatitg their beefloving frionds now aiotig the coast. Two for one is the taritf. In all the enoounters along our coast, wo have thus far uot lost a single man either killed, or wounded, or prisoner. There has hardly been one in which the deadly aim ot the Texan rifle has not brought down one or more of the foe The enemy are gaining some wholesome ideas of Texas. .

A Rebel Son.?Major llarence Prentice of, theC. S.

"Ma"'said a little boy, "the blockade stops everything?why don't it stop babies from coming?" The reply was not given. It might have been like that of tho old lady of North Carolina when she couldn't get any more tea. "Well, bless the Lord, they can,t blockade sa-aifruxl" A etter received from Northern Missouri states that another butchery, similar in kind and number of victims to the Palmyra massacre, took place recently at Macon city. The letter is well authenticated. T^e Nashville Union says nearly one Thousand families,-beloegtBfr to thssoldiers in rebel service, are without food, clothing or wood. Five hundred applications to go South have been filed at the Yankee War Department >' 1 - >? - General Bragg has brought General Rosencrans, at length, after a tedious ^correspondence and the close confinement of near twenty Yankee officers, taken prisoners by Morgan and others, to a written pledge to release our civilians, who ha had imprisoned, and not to arrest any others. ?1 < iv'tfwji' Retaliation in tub W*sr.-?-The Richmond Enquirer says: "General Hindman, it is reported, has executed ten Yankee officers in just retaliation of the McNeil butchery."
