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

not complain. 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 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.
