&e c uth-W4eteru, SHREVEPORT: WEDNESDAY ................... 1MAY 19, 1869. Texas Items. CHEROKEE Coustr.-The following items are from the Rusk Observer of the 18th: The Supreme Court is now in session at Tyler-pres. uent Chief Justice Morrill, Justices Lattimer and Lind, sey. These gentlemen haveexpreseed a determination to hold the present term, until all the businessof their division is 'disposed pf. A. J. Hamilton and Caldwell, the other two Justices are absent, working for the in- terest of the party at Washington City, not forgetting however, to draw their salary of $451:0 a year, which has to come out of the pockets of the people. For Cotngress.-The HIenderson Times announces that Gen. Webster Flinagan will undoubtedly be a can- didate for Congress from this district. The Times does not give its support te General Flanagan, but compliments-deservedly wel ink-the course of that gentleman in the convention for acting with the Demo- crats and conservative Republicans. GaYsoN CortrY.-The following items were clipped from the Sherman Courier of the 27th ult.: A negroman named omnp, on the night of the 21st inst., killed a white man named James Perryman, by splitting his head open with an ax. The negro now awaits an examination before Justice Bostick. The rumors are so conflicting that we shall not attempt to give particulars until the facts are developed upon trial. Two parties from Missouri have come to this county during the week to buy cattle. Cattle taisers of Texas look to your interest. The stage now makes regular trips and prompt con- rections from Fort Snith, Ark., via Sherman, Gaitns- ville, Jacksboro, and Fort Concho, to El Paso, Texas. The man Boli•ng, who was lately under guard for violation of the retray law, by sorne " hook or crook," the Lord only knows how, has escaped. COLLIx CoC.•ar.-These items were clipped from the -McKinney Messenger of th l st : We hIave information, on which we rely, that in the neighboring counties on Red river, over one hundred citizens are in arms antd in search of the desperadoes who have so long disturbed the peace of this portion of our State, and for wbom rewards have been oflered by the military authorities. The people are thoroughly aroused and fully determined to conquer a peace by bringing offenders to justice. The country will soont become too hot for the outlaws. We have rumors of the capture of ITarys and the killing of Bob Lee, but no particulars, and regard bothu stories as doubtful. Kilcld.--We learn that on Saturday last a difliculty occurred at Farmtersville, in this county, between two men, McMinn and Holloway, in which the former was killed by the latter. We are told that Holloway's life had been threatened by McMino, who had the reputa- tion of being a bad character, but of this we know nothing. Col. Morris, with escort, from Jacksonboro, passed I through town a day or two since en route for Green- 'ilse. Ont reaching Greenville, the Colonel will take conarnand of this sub district. We regret to announce that Mr. P. II. Mull died at his residence in this place yesterday. HILL CorsTY.-This is from the Waxalh:tchie Ar- gus of the 2cth ult.: We are again called upon to chronicle a tragedy. A t week ago last Wednesday Charles Green and James I .King, who were brothers-in-law, had a difficulty at the t house of the former, about ten miles northwest ofj I Hlillsboro, which resulted in the killing of the latter. Green went to the house of King, and demanded the payment of a debt of thirty cents. The latter denied the jistnerss of the debt, it seems, and refused to pay it, when the former entered King's house and took• therefrom a pair of spurs, a box of paper collars n ad a pair of gloves in remuneration for the debt. An an- t gry dispute now arose, and probably a violent scoffle ensued, but the result was not serious. The next niht lt King was at the house of Mr. Ab, Wilson, and Green i sought hinm forthe purpose of killintg him. Finding it the party for whom he searched lie imnmediately pro- is cceeded to shoot him. Green is at large. f S.NITt CorCS.--The following intercsting itemsare se from tie Tyler Reporter of the 8th inst.: We understand the Supreme Court affirmed th;e ce- i lion of the District Court in refusing a new trial to the murderers, IRRobinson and I'oe, of Rut•k count iti t The death penalty will therefore be executed upons thenm. I The habeas Corpus li'ilt lRefuscd.-Notlling more frequently reminds us of the utter degredation of our pfeople in the enltire absence of personal liberty, than the continual refusal of our courts to grant the writ of lIcabeas corpus. The privilege of this writ, or asiillar one, is essential to the existence of political liberty in nly country, nod whenever it is suspended or denied, there is not a restige of liberty left to the down trod- i.len and oppressed sulject of tIranny 1 ill hatlvCer ehape it is found. The attorneys of the Jefferson prisoners applied last week to Judge Dural, of the U. S. Coutt at this plaoce, for the writ in behalf of their clients, but, after careful consideration it was declined by the Co!rt. We learn that the applicants design making a similar application directly to Chief Justice Chase, at Wash- ington, when we shall see the constitutionality of cer, tainrlaws and orders tested. Gen. 31. D. Ector, late Judge of the Sixth Judicial District, was in town last week in attendance upon tie Supreme Court. The Geteral holds up well-is look- .t g as will as when his name was the battle-cry of Texas We regret to learn that he cannot use an arti- Iicial leg on account of the tenderiess of the injured limb. rendering the constant use of crutches necessary. G;en. Eclor is now engaged in the practice of his pro- fession at Marshall, where lie is having fine siuceess. GarYsoa Corta.--Tlhe following items are fromn the Sherman Courier of the 1st: A large drove of horses, numbering we suppose, about three hundred head, passed through our town in the early part of the week going north. It was the first drove of the season. We have ilnfomation which we believe to be relia- ble, that Monroe Brombtlow, one of the gang of des- peradoes which has for some time past, infested this sertion, was killed near Orangeville, Fannin county, by Dixon, another member of the partv, in a personal dilficuty. 'The body when found was so badly mutil- ated by the buzzards that the features were not recog- nisa.le; but other indications establish the identity of the deceased, to the satisfaction of those who know him lics. "The work goes bravely on." Lest saturday, ofl- eer Goode and his posse returned, bringing with them " William Beard, atother of the desperadoes who have been disturbing the peace and quiet of tile country. I Beard is said to have belonged to the Lee party, for any member of which a thousand dollars reward Ieis been offered. lie was captured over in the Nation, and brought to this place, turned over to a militarr escort and was contveyed to headquarters at Greenville. I Such energy as has heen recentlv displayed, if it is continued, will rid the country of bad nu:p', and peace, quiet and prosperity will reigan supreme. The negro Pon:p, examined before Judge Erarts, last week upotn the charge of killing James I'errymau by spliittiig his head open with an x-a short notice of which we gave last a'eek-w-a acquitted. The evidence adduced upon the trial, in the mind of the court, justified the negro in the act as one of self-de- fence. We would be glad to give the circumstances connected ithi the killing, but a full statement would ,ie too volumic:ous. The whole thing is narrowed down to this, that the negro Pomp killed the white man. Perryman, with 1 an ax. That the negro anllle to Sow•n and olultntrily snIreidered htlinmself to the skher:f. was examinedt beore Judlge Everts, who dismnissed hlimt nnder tile belief that the act was comnmitted in defense of his own life. RED RIVeR Cocarr.-The Clarksville Standard, of the 8th, makes the rollowing remarks under the head of wieat and other products: Not a great deal of iheat, we think, is in cultivation in this ountyl.

Military M ovenent, in Pursuf of Outlaws.--Wed. nesasy slighta heavy sct of mnlittary and conscript vtizens started out in detaclnents and on Thursday Wmvening reurned, bringing in as prisoners Martill Gauest, Win. Garer, John Lreahour, Mike Maddox and Jim r aaltey.

One C4oUd, eaoSfedqrage of Eklisha J A Day at the White House. Who would not spend a day at the White House if he could, with justice to himself and family ? How many of us are able to do it? We opine very few. This being the case, let us look through the eyes of them who are able and see some of the sights at Wash- ington. Let us act as cicerone and introduce the om spicy correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, who has spent a day in the ante-room of the White •.ouse. . Here him and see how you like Washington life at a id, distance: ion It is the business of Gen. Dent to receive all who eir seek the presence of the President. When Andrew ell, Johnson was Chief Executive, all those waiting for an in- audience with power were left by themselves to pass ig the long hours in waiting. It is somewhat different bh now. The large reception room, over the front of the East Room, is fitted up with tables as well as sofas and 'e chairs, and all. from the humblest to the highest, are in- admitted to sen. Dent's presence. In the cosiest e corner of this reception room, beneath the window ut which commands the uninterrupted view of the de- at lightful park which fronts the mansion, may be found '0' the broad, long table at which Gen. Dent sits, with his accomplished assistants by his side. Gei. Dent is ed in the meridian of life, rather below the medium size, though the rich, dark-blue military garb in which he is encased diverts the mind from size altogether. Now at add a face, neither handsome nor plain, but a benign, Y good countenance, through which the soul shines like iw flame through an astral shade, and you have the pic- ire tgre pf tile man through whiose hands you are to pass to before you are consigned to the august presence of 1. majesty. y At the same table, directly opposite General Dent, ;i'may be been the assistant private secretary, Mr. Robt. M. Douglas, eldest son of the late IlIon. Stephen A. " Douglas. Those who can recall the form and features of the departed Senator will see them reproduced, but, like the second edition of the same book, a little re- vr vised and somewhat corrected. Mr. Douglas inherits the broad shoulders, crowned by the same massive head, so well remembered by the nation. His North SCarolina speech has made hin famous as a youth, and it seems certain at present, that he was created to 1 prove the exception to the rule that a great man never rbequeaths his talent to posterity. The social manners d of Mr. Douglas are such as would endear him to a sov- ereign as haughty as QueertElizabeth, and, just as soon n s he culminates as private secretary, it would be for the honor of the foreign service to send him abroad. SBut, at pressnt he cannot be spared from a certain Sante-room of the White House. At the left of Gen. Dent may be seen Mr. Crooks, Sone of the few men left who were bequeathed as ser- e vants to the people by our beloved Lincoln. Ile has i seen the inauguration of four Presidents, and the in- stallation of three different families in the White Y [louse. His mind is a storehouse of legend and story. 0 - lie is still a young man, more than comely in personal 5 appearance, and distinguished by social manners which c admirably befit court life. - And now we come to that part of the story which hears struch a strong resemblance to an Ea.tern tale. Hligh at;d low, rich and poor, all shades, all colors, d fram the blanched cheek of the haughty Circassian t-belle to the Ethiopian's polished ebony, may be found waiting in the inute-rooms of the White house. Yel- low men are there, with skins like dead gold, their t large, soft, lustrous eyes remindirng one of a Moorish picture. The dash of a carriage is heard on the stonet pavement below. Two elegant women alight in fault- less traveling costlume. They are shown by a mcssen- ger to the ante-roomn, and Gen. Dent arises to receive s them. One of them is exceedingly beautiful. " We r s have called," says the beauty, " to pay our respects to Sthe I're-ident." "Any business?"' inquires Gcn. Dent. The dainty lips curls perceptibly. " None what-• ever; we are traveling; we wish to see the President." " Impossible, madam. All these people you see are d I waiting to see the President on business. Gen. Grant would be pleased to see you, but lie has no time he can ti call his own." The great, haughty eyes of the tray- eler wandered about the room. As the two were about T to depart, Gen. Dent asks themn if they would be s. "shown abdut the building?" A dignified consent n being given, thle two stately swans sail away, piloted by the same messenger, who showed them up the tl stairs. Tihe doors of the inner temple tremble on their d hinges, and tihe frmr ofa ponderous Senator emerges tl from the presence of the sun of day. It is Henry Wil- ci son, ofl lassachusetts. lie strides to a centre-table and shakes hinds silt a distinguished group of men n compose:d of Cole, of California, Carpenter, of Wiscon- tr sin, of the Senate, irrepressible Gen. Butler and Gen. a i akland,l the personal friend of President Grant, who was nominated for Tiird Assistant Postmaster Gen- b, eral. Very soon Mr. Gohright, of the Associated Press, joins hands with them, but the attention of all c eyes is drawn in another direction. Two strangersare hr announced, and again Gen. Dent arises to receive them. at Two strange beings. The man weets the national cos- tame of BPurmah, the picturesque turban, and the high- colored slawl gracefully draped about his person. The woman has spoiled her identity by adopting certain ft portions of European dress. They are native Bur- in meaaev aunmd-bhe h-uen stuardyi,.g hai taiaSoauay, but ooh Sc take their departure for Burnismah, where they expect to -w act as missioinries. They have called to bid President im Grant farewell, and are at once shown to his presence. t Every hour brings new arrivals. A colored delega- tl tion front Alexandria has arrived. It was promised a they should see the President at one o'clock. It is bh long piast the houir, but still they wait patiently. It k seems to be the colored man's fate to wait. There is kI a solemn grandeur about this resignation. It is like hI the march of the centuries. Art has portrayed it in 1 tihe face of the Egyptian Sphinx. at A few Senators have seen the President. General a Butler has dashed in there where no•ae of the rest are at allowed to go. No one saw a messenger depart with b his card. IIe went in there; lie disappeared for a mo- Pt ineat only, and now flings himself againi amongst the ti throng. He takes a cigar from a side pocket and a p Iarbarous arrangtement of some kind from anotlher. h With thie last thing he is going to kindle a fire. lie ci strikes the flint against the serpent, and sonrmetlirg C clictks like thie lock of a grun.

The sun begins to blink of askncer, and to creep into western wiindows. A man te says, " This is thie tenth day I have waited to see thie cn Pre.ident." Somre of thie same people, who were al- Br ways found to be Ihauntinrg Andrew Jolhnson, have dt transferred themsel-ves to Pre.iident Grant.

We offer special indecements to any one desirous of becoming our confidential agents. Tim NrATIOS WITrHOT FIRE.-According to Pliny, fire was a long time unknown to some of the ancient Egyptians; and when Exodus (the celebrated astrouo- ter) showed it to them, they weres bsolutely in rap- ture. The Persians, Phlenicians, Greeks and several other inalions, acknowledged that their ancesters were oace without the use of fire, and the Chinese confess tihe same of their progenitors. Pompanion, Mola, Plutarch and other anrients speak of nations who, at the time they wrote, knew not the use of fire, or had just learned it. Facts of the same kind are also at- tested by several modern nations. Theinhabitants of the Marian Islands, which were tliscovered in 1551, had no idea of fire. Never was astonishment greater than theirs when they saw it on the desert in Magellan, in one of their islands. At first they believed it was some kind of an animal that fixed to and fed upon wood. The inhabitant of thelPhillippine and Canary Islands were formerly equally ignorant. Africa pre- sents, even in our own day, nations in this deplorable state. The World having gdvised Dana, editor of the Sun, who has just been appointed Appraiser; instead ofTCol- lector, ot New Yolk, as he desiied, to stick to his pro- fession and his velocipede, Dana replies: " We are obliged to our neighbor for his favorable opinion, which we esteem as a-high compliment. But aa,to the advice, wie do not see the wisdom of it. Stick to our velocipede. That is the very thing which we have been doing; whereas there is every reason to be- lieve that if we had sent the velocipede to Grant, we should have g o t the oflce." 4 aegro sentenced to deatbjn Kentucky for.anur- der h ,.been respited to allor him " time to prepare for death."

Iiacellaneous Items. if One Lord Mayor of London, altho-gh famous for his gastronomy, denounced luncheon altogether, saying : " I consider luncheon as an insult to breakfast and an Of injury to dinner." The value of Canadian cattle imported into the s- United States during the first three months of 1869, he was two hundred and thirty-sir thousand two hundred I and fifty-two dollars-nearly double the value of those imported during the game period of 1868. An enterprising speculator in Paris talks about start- a ing a mammoth printing house, where he desires to print all the daily newspapers published in the city. o He says by doing so the dailies will reduce their ex- w penses ten per cent. in Loss BY HoaRDnsso.-One thousand and forty dollars 58 in gold pieces of the year 1695, or thereabouts, were it recently aisposed of in Trenton, N. J., after having ie been hoarded for seventy-four years. The loss d of interest in that time was somewhat over four thou- e sand dollars. =t The Union Pacific railroad sold 10,000 passenger f tickets from Chicago to White Pine, Nevada, during the month of March. Everything indicates a great h rush to the silver regions from the East this spring. is Josh Billings says: " Biles are the sorest things or their size on reckord, and az kross tew the touch az a setting hen, or a dog with a fresh bone." The Cincinnati Times expresses the hope that with- in the coming year the Great Lakes and Great Gulf e will have a direct and almost and air line connection, and passengers will be whirled through the Republic from North to South and South to North without f change of cars. ! Mr. Fessenden paid a handsome compliment to the South, Wednesday week, in the Senate. He said for fifty years the proportion of civil officers of the Gov- ernment from the Southern States was as two to one from all others. As those were years of honest, eco- nomical administration of the Government, it reflects great honor on all who then held office. The Cape of Good Hope has been visited by a ca- lamity unprecedented in its annals. A severe grought had burnt up everything, and the heat was still rising, when on the 4th of February fires broke out in several places, and in a few hours covered a district four hun- dred miles in length, and from fiften to fifty in breadth, destroying all houses, trees, crops, cattle, and appa- rently natives, a few Europeans only escaping by arush for the nearest river. Tri Coctcoecn.-The cockroach iz a bug at large. i He is one of the luxuries of civilisation. He is easy to domestikate, yielding gracefully to or- dinary kindness, and never deserting those who show him proper sets of courtesy. We are led to beleave, upon a cluss examination of the outward crust of these fashionable insects, that they are a highly successful intermarriage between the brunette pissmire and the "artikilusbero," or common American grasshopper. He don't leave the places he was born at upon the slightest provocation, like the giddy and vagrant flea, or the ferocious bed bug, and until death (or some vile powder, the invenshun of man,) knocks athis front door, lie and liz brothers and sisters may be seen with I 'the naked eye ever and anon calmly climbling the white sugar-bowl, or running foot-races between the butter plates. The cockroach is born on the fast or May and on the first ov November, semi annually, and is ready for use fifteen days from date. They are born from an egg, four from each egg, and consequently they are all of them twinsa There is no such thing in the annals or nature as a single cock- 'roach. The maternal bug don't set upon the egg as the goose doth, but leaves them lie around loose, like a pint of spilt mustard seed, and don't seem to care a darn whether they get ripe or not. But I never knew a cockroach egg fail tew put in an appearanice. They are as sure to hatch out and run as Kanada thistles or a bad kold. The cockroach is or two colors, sorrel and black. They are always on the move, and kan trot, I should say, on a good track, and a good day, class to three minits. Their food seems to consist, not so much in wlshat they eat, as what they travel, and often finding them dead in my soup at the boarding-house, I hay cuim to the conclusion that a cockroach cant't swim, but they can float. Naturalists hay also declared that the cockroach has no double teeth. This is an important fukt, and ought to be introduced into all the primary school books ov Aunerika. But the most interesting feature in this remarkable 8 bug is the lovelyness ov their natures. They can't bite nor sting, nor skratch, nor even jaw back. They are so amiable that I hay known them tew get stuck in the butter, and lay there all day, and not holler for help, and acktually dia at last with a broken heart. 4 [Josh Billings. A BuFeFALostNA RIDES A MULE IN FLORIDA.-Bring forth the mule. The mule was brought. Ile was a meek-looking cuss-a perfect " Uriah IIeep" of a mule, so far as " umblencss " Was concerned. At least that waS tne vieW I tooi or nOmm. lie was sauwleo, ant I mounted. For a mile or two he paced beautifully. I thought those old monks I had read about knew what they were doing when they traveled on males. I had a high respect for theirjudgme:.t. Just then my mule began to show symptoms--symptoms of what I did not know. I found out. Dropping his head between his legs, his heels described a parabolic curve, or a dia- bolic curve, or some other infernal curve, in the air, I got off and sat on the ground. I got over his head, and I did it quick. I'm not so old but Iran get off an animal of that kind as quick as a boy. Then I looked at the mule to see if he was hurt. lie didn't appear to be. Then I inquired around to see how I was. I re- ported an abrasion on the left hip and a contusion on the lower end of my back. Then I thought I would pronounce a left-handed blessing on that mule, and 6n his forefuthliers and forcmothers before him, and on his children after him. But I didn't. I wondered if he would stand fire. If I had had a pistol I would have put the nmuzzle to his ear aind tried him. Not that I was hostile towards him, but I was afraid somebody V might take a ride on him some day and get hurt. But I had no pistol; so that benevolent and sanguinary idea was frustrated. Then I got up and shook the dust off ty feet, and brushed the sand off my trousers, as a testimonty against that place. Then I led the mule carefully houme, and stated my case to the livery man. But wthen I looked that he should offer to send for a doctor, or a Samaritan, to do me up in a reg, and pour olive oil and champagne on my bruises, lie only laughed. And his man that he had to hold him laid down on a i bench and laughled--then he rolled off the bench and s laughled--and I stood hldlding the mule--then I laughed. It was ridiculous. But I've learned a little wisdom. I Next time I ride on hloreSback it will be a different kind at of beast from a bogus jaeckass. Pt [J. B. S., in Buffalo Commercial Advertiser. TIIH. O.tN' a Denss Rt.EFORsr.S. -The second and closing session of the Woman's Dress Reform Conven- tion (so-called), was held in Washington a few nights ago. As upon the first night, Mrs. Dr. Walker and Mrs. Dr. Hasbrook seemed to be not only the moving spirits, but also the sum and substance of the "con- vention." Mrs. Dr. Lockworod, Col. Price, Mr. John O'Donovan, and others who were called to their as- sistarce as speakers, did not seem to look upon the re- form proposed with the same favor that Drs. Walker and IIasbrook viewed it. There was a hlrgp attend- ance upon both occasions, and especially last night, but the auditors were mostly attracted by curiosity, and but few of them were anxious to be considered as members of the society. The proceedings were alto- gether very amusing. Mrs. Dr. Walker, in her speech, proposed to give a practical illustration to her remarks by referring to a dilapidated skeleton, which was brought upon the stage. Some difficulty was experi- ecred in making the skeleton assume art upright posi- tion, the efforts to that end causing a good deal of merriment; so much, indeed, as to annoy the speaker. Subsequently Doctor Mary Walker found it necessary to assume the duties of sergeant-at-arms in order to keep the boys quiet. One of the speakers-Col. Pierce-approved a re- form, but not the reform proposed, as he would not know, if marrying, whether he was marrying a man or a woman. At the close of his remarks, Dr. IIasbrook asked him to stand by her on the platform, when she said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you see before you a good looking couple. Can you not tell which is the man and which is the woman ? Can you see no distinctive features by which you could determine? Here," said she, (gently stroking the Colonel's long beard), " is a badge of no other." This practical operation convulsed the audience with laughter, and as Col. Pierce did not fancy the idea of being made the butt of a good joke, he retired hur- riedly from the stage; and after a parting shot from Mrs. Walker, the convention adjourned for one year. +r. Cos0xoN AnscRsnsaEs.-To say alter everthing hap- pens, " I knew it was going to take place. To ask the merchant if the article he sells you is of the first quality. To carry " bricks" in your hat and flatter yourself that you can keep them hidden from the world. To think you must win a lawsuit because you have law and evidence on your side. To put salt in your soup' before you have tasted it. To tell a person of whom you would borrow money, that you urgently require it. To think that the great difficulty in lifeis:to find op- portunity for the talent, and not talent for the oppor- tunity. To say that you have " no leisure," instead bf that you have no disposition to improve yourmind or to do good. To make a foolish " match" and then, ask a friend's opinion of it The following is a copy of a promnissory note dated in New Hampshire on tite 46th November, 1793. It shows the caution ,wit h .nhiehhorse trades were made in those days: For an old horse which I have bought of Mr. Hsaae Dow, I pormies to ply"inl tbreeMolrs mIn wheat or iour ast eab price; but if thie horse oes not live to get to Lebanon, aprd tree dajsa fter he ageiaserej I am to give brat twodollare for the hotse. nryy n btU ~Oonee~b~*%A~kL 51 Utz,-; . .

    WEDNESDAY ................... 1MAY 19, 1869.

    Texas Items.CHEROKEE Coustr.-The following items are from

    the Rusk Observer of the 18th:The Supreme Court is now in session at Tyler-pres.uent Chief Justice Morrill, Justices Lattimer and Lind,

    sey. These gentlemen haveexpreseed a determinationto hold the present term, until all the businessof theirdivision is 'disposed pf. A. J. Hamilton and Caldwell,the other two Justices are absent, working for the in-terest of the party at Washington City, not forgettinghowever, to draw their salary of $451:0 a year, whichhas to come out of the pockets of the people.

    For Cotngress.-The HIenderson Times announcesthat Gen. Webster Flinagan will undoubtedly be a can-didate for Congress from this district. The Timesdoes not give its support te General Flanagan, butcompliments-deservedly wel ink-the course of thatgentleman in the convention for acting with the Demo-crats and conservative Republicans.

    GaYsoN CortrY.-The following items were clippedfrom the Sherman Courier of the 27th ult.:

    A negroman named omnp, on the night of the 21stinst., killed a white man named James Perryman, bysplitting his head open with an ax. The negro nowawaits an examination before Justice Bostick. Therumors are so conflicting that we shall not attempt togive particulars until the facts are developed upon trial.

    Two parties from Missouri have come to this countyduring the week to buy cattle. Cattle taisers of Texaslook to your interest.

    The stage now makes regular trips and prompt con-rections from Fort Snith, Ark., via Sherman, Gaitns-ville, Jacksboro, and Fort Concho, to El Paso, Texas.

    The man Boli•ng, who was lately under guard forviolation of the retray law, by sorne " hook or crook,"the Lord only knows how, has escaped.

    COLLIx CoC.•ar.-These items were clipped from the-McKinney Messenger of th l st :

    We hIave information, on which we rely, that in theneighboring counties on Red river, over one hundredcitizens are in arms antd in search of the desperadoeswho have so long disturbed the peace of this portionof our State, and for wbom rewards have been ofleredby the military authorities. The people are thoroughlyaroused and fully determined to conquer a peace bybringing offenders to justice. The country will soontbecome too hot for the outlaws.

    We have rumors of the capture of ITarys and thekilling of Bob Lee, but no particulars, and regard bothustories as doubtful.

    Kilcld.--We learn that on Saturday last a diflicultyoccurred at Farmtersville, in this county, between twomen, McMinn and Holloway, in which the former waskilled by the latter. We are told that Holloway's lifehad been threatened by McMino, who had the reputa-tion of being a bad character, but of this we knownothing.

    Col. Morris, with escort, from Jacksonboro, passed Ithrough town a day or two since en route for Green-'ilse. Ont reaching Greenville, the Colonel will takeconarnand of this sub district.

    We regret to announce that Mr. P. II. Mull died athis residence in this place yesterday.

    HILL CorsTY.-This is from the Waxalh:tchie Ar-gus of the 2cth ult.:

    We are again called upon to chronicle a tragedy. A tweek ago last Wednesday Charles Green and James I.King, who were brothers-in-law, had a difficulty at the thouse of the former, about ten miles northwest ofj IHlillsboro, which resulted in the killing of the latter.Green went to the house of King, and demanded thepayment of a debt of thirty cents. The latter denied the jistnerss of the debt, it seems, and refused to payit, when the former entered King's house and took•therefrom a pair of spurs, a box of paper collars n ad apair of gloves in remuneration for the debt. An an- tgry dispute now arose, and probably a violent scoffleensued, but the result was not serious. The next niht ltKing was at the house of Mr. Ab, Wilson, and Green isought hinm for the purpose of killintg him. Finding itthe party for whom he searched lie imnmediately pro- iscceeded to shoot him. Green is at large. fS.NITt CorCS.--The following intercsting itemsare se

    from tie Tyler Reporter of the 8th inst.:We understand the Supreme Court affirmed th;e ce- i

    lion of the District Court in refusing a new trial tothe murderers, IRRobinson and I'oe, of Rut•k count iti tThe death penalty will therefore be executed uponsthenm.

    IThe habeas Corpus li'ilt lRefuscd.-Notlling more

    frequently reminds us of the utter degredation of ourpfeople in the enltire absence of personal liberty, thanthe continual refusal of our courts to grant the writ oflIcabeas corpus. The privilege of this writ, or asiillarone, is essential to the existence of political liberty innly country, nod whenever it is suspended or denied,there is not a restige of liberty left to the down trod-i.len and oppressed sulject of tIranny1 ill hatlvCerehape it is found.

    The attorneys of the Jefferson prisoners appliedlast week to Judge Dural, of the U. S. Coutt at thisplaoce, for the writ in behalf of their clients, but, aftercareful consideration it was declined by the Co!rt.We learn that the applicants design making a similarapplication directly to Chief Justice Chase, at Wash-ington, when we shall see the constitutionality of cer,tainrlaws and orders tested.

    Gen. 31. D. Ector, late Judge of the Sixth JudicialDistrict, was in town last week in attendance upon tieSupreme Court. The Geteral holds up well-is look-.t g as will as when his name was the battle-cry ofTexas We regret to learn that he cannot use an arti-Iicial leg on account of the tenderiess of the injuredlimb. rendering the constant use of crutches necessary.G;en. Eclor is now engaged in the practice of his pro-fession at Marshall, where lie is having fine siuceess.

    GarYsoa Corta.--Tlhe following items are fromnthe Sherman Courier of the 1st:

    A large drove of horses, numbering we suppose,about three hundred head, passed through our townin the early part of the week going north. It was thefirst drove of the season.

    We have ilnfomation which we believe to be relia-ble, that Monroe Brombtlow, one of the gang of des-peradoes which has for some time past, infested thissertion, was killed near Orangeville, Fannin county,by Dixon, another member of the partv, in a personaldilficuty. 'The body when found was so badly mutil-ated by the buzzards that the features were not recog-nisa.le; but other indications establish the identity ofthe deceased, to the satisfaction of those who knowhim lics.

    "The work goes bravely on."

    A Day at the White House.Who would not spend a day at the White House if

    he could, with justice to himself and family ? Howmany of us are able to do it? We opine very few.This being the case, let us look through the eyes ofthem who are able and see some of the sights at Wash-ington. Let us act as cicerone and introduce the

    om spicy correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, who

    has spent a day in the ante-room of the White •.ouse.. Here him and see how you like Washington life at a

    id, distance:ion It is the business of Gen. Dent to receive all who

    eir seek the presence of the President. When Andrewell, Johnson was Chief Executive, all those waiting for an

    in- audience with power were left by themselves to passig the long hours in waiting. It is somewhat differentbh now. The large reception room, over the front of the

    East Room, is fitted up with tables as well as sofas and'e chairs, and all. from the humblest to the highest, arein- admitted to sen. Dent's presence. In the cosiest

    e corner of this reception room, beneath the windowut which commands the uninterrupted view of the de-

    at lightful park which fronts the mansion, may be found'0' the broad, long table at which Gen. Dent sits, withhis accomplished assistants by his side. Gei. Dent is

    ed in the meridian of life, rather below the medium size,though the rich, dark-blue military garb in which heis encased diverts the mind from size altogether. Now

    at add a face, neither handsome nor plain, but a benign,Y good countenance, through which the soul shines likeiw flame through an astral shade, and you have the pic-

    ire tgre pf tile man through whiose hands you are to passto before you are consigned to the august presence of1. majesty.

    y At the same table, directly opposite General Dent,;i'may be been the assistant private secretary, Mr. Robt.M. Douglas, eldest son of the late IlIon. Stephen A." Douglas. Those who can recall the form and featuresof the departed Senator will see them reproduced, but,like the second edition of the same book, a little re-vr vised and somewhat corrected. Mr. Douglas inheritsthe broad shoulders, crowned by the same massivehead, so well remembered by the nation. His North

    SCarolina speech has made hin famous as a youth, andit seems certain at present, that he was created to1 prove the exception to the rule that a great man neverrbequeaths his talent to posterity. The social manners

    d of Mr. Douglas are such as would endear him to a sov-ereign as haughty as QueertElizabeth, and, just as soon

    n s he culminates as private secretary, it would be forthe honor of the foreign service to send him abroad.

    SBut, at pressnt he cannot be spared from a certainSante-room of the White House.

    At the left of Gen. Dent may be seen Mr. Crooks,Sone of the few men left who were bequeathed as ser-

    e vants to the people by our beloved Lincoln. Ile hasi seen the inauguration of four Presidents, and the in-

    stallation of three different families in the WhiteY [louse. His mind is a storehouse of legend and story.0 - lie is still a young man, more than comely in personal

    5 appearance, and distinguished by social manners whichc admirably befit court life.-And now we come to that part of the story which

    hears struch a strong resemblance to an Ea.tern tale.Hligh at;d low, rich and poor, all shades, all colors,

    d fram the blanched cheek of the haughty Circassiant-belle to the Ethiopian's polished ebony, may be found

    waiting in the inute-rooms of the White house. Yel-low men are there, with skins like dead gold, theirt large, soft, lustrous eyes remindirng one of a Moorishpicture. The dash of a carriage is heard on the stonetpavement below. Two elegant women alight in fault-less traveling costlume. They are shown by a mcssen-ger to the ante-roomn, and Gen. Dent arises to receive sthem. One of them is exceedingly beautiful. " We r

    s have called," says the beauty, " to pay our respects toSthe I're-ident." "Any business?"' inquires Gcn.

    Dent. The dainty lips curls perceptibly. " None what-•ever; we are traveling; we wish to see the President."" Impossible, madam. All these people you see are d

    I waiting to see the President on business. Gen. Grantwould be pleased to see you, but lie has no time he can ticall his own." The great, haughty eyes of the tray-eler wandered about the room. As the two were about Tto depart, Gen. Dent asks themn if they would be s."shown abdut the building?" A dignified consent nbeing given, thle two stately swans sail away, pilotedby the same messenger, who showed them up the tlstairs. Tihe doors of the inner temple tremble on their dhinges, and tihe frmr ofa ponderous Senator emerges tlfrom the presence of the sun of day. It is Henry Wil- cison, ofl lassachusetts. lie strides to a centre-tableand shakes hinds silt a distinguished group of men ncompose:d of Cole, of California, Carpenter, of Wiscon- trsin, of the Senate, irrepressible Gen. Butler and Gen. a

    i akland,l the personal friend of President Grant, whowas nominated for Tiird Assistant Postmaster Gen- b,eral. Very soon Mr. Gohright, of the AssociatedPress, joins hands with them, but the attention of all ceyes is drawn in another direction. Two strangersare hrannounced, and again Gen. Dent arises to receive them. atTwo strange beings. The man weets the national cos-tame of BPurmah, the picturesque turban, and the high-colored slawl gracefully draped about his person. Thewoman has spoiled her identity by adopting certain ftportions of European dress. They are native Bur- inmeaaev aunmd-bhe h-uen stuardyi,.g hai taiaSoauay, but ooh Sctake their departure for Burnismah, where they expect to -wact as missioinries. They have called to bid President imGrant farewell, and are at once shown to his presence. t

    Every hour brings new arrivals. A colored delega- tltion front Alexandria has arrived. It was promised athey should see the President at one o'clock. It is bhlong piast the houir, but still they wait patiently. It kseems to be the colored man's fate to wait. There is kIa solemn grandeur about this resignation. It is like hIthe march of the centuries. Art has portrayed it in 1tihe face of the Egyptian Sphinx. at

    A few Senators have seen the President. General aButler has dashed in there where no•ae of the rest are atallowed to go. No one saw a messenger depart with bhis card. IIe went in there; lie disappeared for a mo- Ptineat only, and now flings himself againi amongst the tithrong. He takes a cigar from a side pocket and a pIarbarous arrangtement of some kind from anotlher. hWith thie last thing he is going to kindle a fire. lie cistrikes the flint against the serpent, and sonrmetlirg Cclictks like thie lock of a grun.

    Thie weary, weary waiters ! The sun begins to blink ofaskncer, and to creep into western wiindows. A man tesays, " This is thie tenth day I have waited to see thie cnPre.ident." Somre of thie same people, who were al- Brways found to be Ihauntinrg Andrew Jolhnson, have dttransferred themsel-ves to Pre.iident Grant.

    Tim NrATIOS WITrHOT FIRE.-According to Pliny,fire was a long time unknown to some of the ancientEgyptians; and when Exodus (the celebrated astrouo-

    ter) showed it to them, they weres bsolutely in rap-ture. The Persians, Phlenicians, Greeks and severalother inalions, acknowledged that their ancesters wereoace without the use of fire, and the Chinese confesstihe same of their progenitors. Pompanion, Mola,Plutarch and other anrients speak of nations who, atthe time they wrote, knew not the use of fire, or hadjust learned it. Facts of the same kind are also at-tested by several modern nations. Theinhabitants ofthe Marian Islands, which were tliscovered in 1551,had no idea of fire. Never was astonishment greaterthan theirs when they saw it on the desert in Magellan,in one of their islands. At first they believed it wassome kind of an animal that fixed to and fed uponwood. The inhabitant of thelPhillippine and CanaryIslands were formerly equally ignorant. Africa pre-sents, even in our own day, nations in this deplorablestate.

    The World having gdvised Dana, editor of the Sun,who has just been appointed Appraiser; instead ofTCol-lector, ot New Yolk, as he desiied, to stick to his pro-fession and his velocipede, Dana replies:

That is the very thing which wehave been doing; whereas there is every reason to be-lieve that if we had sent the velocipede to Grant, weshould have g o t the oflce."

    The Cape of Good Hope has been visited by a ca-lamity unprecedented in its annals. A severe groughthad burnt up everything, and the heat was still rising,when on the 4th of February fires broke out in severalplaces, and in a few hours covered a district four hun-dred miles in length, and from fiften to fifty in breadth,destroying all houses, trees, crops, cattle, and appa-rently natives, a few Europeans only escaping by arushfor the nearest river.

    Tri Coctcoecn.-The cockroach iz a bug at large. iHe is one of the luxuries of civilisation.He is easy to domestikate, yielding gracefully to or-

    dinary kindness, and never deserting those who showhim proper sets of courtesy.

    We are led to beleave, upon a cluss examination ofthe outward crust of these fashionable insects, that theyare a highly successful intermarriage between thebrunette pissmire and the "artikilusbero," or commonAmerican grasshopper.

    He don't leave the places he was born at upon theslightest provocation, like the giddy and vagrant flea,or the ferocious bed bug, and until death (or some vilepowder, the invenshun of man,) knocks athis frontdoor, lie and liz brothers and sisters may be seen with I

    'the naked eye ever and anon calmly climbling thewhite sugar-bowl, or running foot-races between thebutter plates.

    The cockroach is born on the fast or May and onthe first ov November, semi annually, and is ready foruse fifteen days from date.

    They are born from an egg, four from each egg, andconsequently they are all of them twinsa There is nosuch thing in the annals or nature as a single cock-

    'roach.The maternal bug don't set upon the egg as the

    goose doth, but leaves them lie around loose, like apint of spilt mustard seed, and don't seem to care adarn whether they get ripe or not.

    But I never knew a cockroach egg fail tew put in anappearanice. They are as sure to hatch out and run asKanada thistles or a bad kold.

    The cockroach is or two colors, sorrel and black.They are always on the move, and kan trot, I shouldsay, on a good track, and a good day, class to threeminits.

    Their food seems to consist, not so much in wlshatthey eat, as what they travel, and often finding themdead in my soup at the boarding-house, I hay cuim tothe conclusion that a cockroach cant't swim, but theycan float.

    Naturalists hay also declared that the cockroach hasno double teeth. This is an important fukt, and oughtto be introduced into all the primary school books ovAunerika.

    But the most interesting feature in this remarkable 8bug is the lovelyness ov their natures. They can't bitenor sting, nor skratch, nor even jaw back. They areso amiable that I hay known them tew get stuck in thebutter, and lay there all day, and not holler for help,and acktually dia at last with a broken heart.

    A BuFeFALostNA RIDES A MULE IN FLORIDA.-Bringforth the mule. The mule was brought. Ile was ameek-looking cuss-a perfect " Uriah IIeep" of a mule,so far as " umblencss " Was concerned. At least thatwaS tne vieW I tooi or nOmm. lie was sauwleo, ant Imounted. For a mile or two he paced beautifully. Ithought those old monks I had read about knew whatthey were doing when they traveled on males. I hada high respect for theirjudgme:.t. Just then my mulebegan to show symptoms--symptoms of what I did notknow. I found out. Dropping his head between hislegs, his heels described a parabolic curve, or a dia-bolic curve, or some other infernal curve, in the air, Igot off and sat on the ground. I got over his head,and I did it quick. I'm not so old but Iran get off ananimal of that kind as quick as a boy. Then I lookedat the mule to see if he was hurt. lie didn't appear tobe. Then I inquired around to see how I was. I re-ported an abrasion on the left hip and a contusion onthe lower end of my back. Then I thought I wouldpronounce a left-handed blessing on that mule, and 6nhis forefuthliers and forcmothers before him, and on hischildren after him. But I didn't. I wondered if hewould stand fire. If I had had a pistol I would haveput the nmuzzle to his ear aind tried him. Not that Iwas hostile towards him, but I was afraid somebody Vmight take a ride on him some day and get hurt. ButI had no pistol; so that benevolent and sanguinaryidea was frustrated. Then I got up and shook the dustoff ty feet, and brushed the sand off my trousers, as atestimonty against that place. Then I led the mulecarefully houme, and stated my case to the livery man.But wthen I looked that he should offer to send for adoctor, or a Samaritan, to do me up in a reg, and pourolive oil and champagne on my bruises, lie only laughed.And his man that he had to hold him laid down on a ibench and laughled--then he rolled off the bench and slaughled--and I stood hldlding the mule--then I laughed.It was ridiculous. But I've learned a little wisdom. INext time I ride on hloreSback it will be a different kind atof beast from a bogus jaeckass. Pt

    TIIH. O.tN' a Denss Rt.EFORsr.S. -The second andclosing session of the Woman's Dress Reform Conven-tion (so-called), was held in Washington a few nightsago. As upon the first night, Mrs. Dr. Walker andMrs. Dr. Hasbrook seemed to be not only the movingspirits, but also the sum and substance of the "con-vention." Mrs. Dr. Lockworod, Col. Price, Mr. JohnO'Donovan, and others who were called to their as-sistarce as speakers, did not seem to look upon the re-form proposed with the same favor that Drs. Walkerand IIasbrook viewed it. There was a hlrgp attend-ance upon both occasions, and especially last night,but the auditors were mostly attracted by curiosity,and but few of them were anxious to be considered asmembers of the society. The proceedings were alto-gether very amusing. Mrs. Dr. Walker, in her speech,proposed to give a practical illustration to her remarksby referring to a dilapidated skeleton, which wasbrought upon the stage. Some difficulty was experi-ecred in making the skeleton assume art upright posi-tion, the efforts to that end causing a good deal ofmerriment; so much, indeed, as to annoy the speaker.Subsequently Doctor Mary Walker found it necessaryto assume the duties of sergeant-at-arms in order tokeep the boys quiet.

    One of the speakers-Col. Pierce-approved a re-form, but not the reform proposed, as he would notknow, if marrying, whether he was marrying a man ora woman.

    At the close of his remarks, Dr. IIasbrook asked himto stand by her on the platform, when she said:

    "Ladies and gentlemen, you see before you a goodlooking couple. Can you not tell which is the manand which is the woman ? Can you see no distinctivefeatures by which you could determine? Here," saidshe, (gently stroking the Colonel's long beard), " is abadge of no other."

    This practical operation convulsed the audience withlaughter, and as Col. Pierce did not fancy the idea ofbeing made the butt of a good joke, he retired hur-riedly from the stage; and after a parting shot fromMrs. Walker, the convention adjourned for one year.
