J HT A review of upwards of three thousand
Louisiana troops for tbe Confederate army took
place at the City park, on the Metairie Ridge,
Opursuant to the governor's proclamation last
Thursday. The Governor was present, and
tbt men are ssid to have looked and moved like
trtft soldiers.
Want of Arms in Nkw York.—The New
Yorl^Express says:
s We could not disguise the fact, if we would,
from our readers, of what is said and done here
in N.^Vork, that throughout the whole North-
ern country, there is not onemu9ket for twenty
volunteers now ready to march.
The Fine Arts are poorly encouraged in
Colorado county at present. The citizen says
that, at the late term of the District Court, C.

three years for stealing a watch, and two or
tliftee dealers in " fine pictures," were sent to
.i jail for fines which they could not settle.

FortWash^a Evacuated.—We find the
following dispatch in our St. Louis exchanges :
Fort Smith, Mav 6.—A gentleman, whojust
arrive I fronPFort Washita, brings intelligence
Irom that post up to May 1st. The United
States troops, comprising six companies of
cavalry and one of infantry, in all about 600
men, were preparing to evacuate the fort.
On Tmirsday last, the fort was to be turned
ovex to Gov. Harris, of tbe Chickasaw nation.
Sturi
mwid and his command from Ft. Smith,
arrived at Port Washita on tbe 1st inst. The
U. S. troops at Fort Cobb were expected to
- join those of Washita on their march for Fort
Leavenworth.
O .
lj" The New York Tribune, which issues
0 its proclamations in a tone of arrogance and
bloodtbiratiness which throws Lincoln himself
far in the shade, says, " the time has arrived
when, in accordance with the doctrines an-
nounced in his inaugural, the President will
' proceed to<repossess the property of the United
States."
The Northern papers all agree that on Mon-
nay.fthis daflWs to begin the offensive opera-
tions of Lincoln. Norfolk, Harper's Ferry and
Alexandria, were points designated. Tbe N. Y.
(Tribuna pitches into. Yirginia after this sort :
" As to Virginia, which, next to South Caro-
lina, is tbe most pestilent State below the Po-
tomac, the war must be carried into her bor-
ders without unnecessary delay. Norfolk must
be reduced. The Southern counties must be
invaded; and Richmond, proud, hypocritical,
treacSerous Richmond, which, more than any
other city in the country, is the fonl nest of
nullification and treason, must be taken and
held till the war is over; and tbe terms of
peace which is to follow must be dictated from
its rebel Capitol."
This is only of a piece with the Courier and
Enquirer's proposition to burn Baltimore and
Mobile, cut tbe levees, and drown the men, wo-
men and children, and negroes of the lower
Mississippi; and the propositions which have
been made to exterminate or drive off the en-
s' tire population of Maryland and Virginia, and
give the country to " free laborers from the
North."
Thk Blockadk at Caibo.—The following
dispatch has been placed at our service for
publication:
"Paducah, Ky., May 10.
" To Bteamer E. Howard, care B. Duffield.
" There is no blockade at Cairo, nor is it
thought there will be soon."
The dispatch can only mean, however, that
certain shipments are ejempt from seizure.—
Tbe determination to prevent shipments which
may giw " aid and comfort" to the Confeder-
ate States has already been officially announced.
Tbe Directora of tbe Vicksburgh, Shreveport
and Texas Railroad have offered and are carry-
ing all troopa, munitions, Ac., and all men con-
nected with military affairs, over their road
free of charge.
A correspondent of ours wishes to know if a
job is jood for anything after it is "cracked,
Lincoln's Policy.
Tbe cabinet at Washington have adopted a
new dodge in diplomacy. The instructions of
the new Minister to France are published, as a
declaration of the domestic policy of the Gov-
ernment. Mr. Dayton, the new U. S. Minister,
is instructed to inform the French Government,
and the instructions are published for the in-
formation of tbe sovereigns of America, that
there is no difference of opinion between tbe
President and his constitutional advisers, or
among those advisers themselves, concerning
the policy that has been pursued, and which is
presented by the Administration, in regard to
tbe unhappy disturbances existing in the coun-
try. Mr. Dayton is told, and is told to tell the
French Government, and the fact is published
for tbe information of tbe rest of mankind that
" It is not in the hands of this Administration
that this Government is to come to an end at
all, much less for want of harmony in devotion
to country." This declaration is given in ex-
planation or denial of the previous statement
made by the late Minister to France, in which
Mr. Faulkner expressed the opinion that force
would not be resorted to to coerce the seceding
States into submission to the Federal authority*
and that the only solution of the difficulties
would be found in such modifications of the
constitutional compact as would invite the se-
ceding States back into the Union, or a peace-
able acquiescence in the assertion of their claim
to a separate sovereignty. Mr. Seward, as
secretary of State, says that " the time when
these questions had any potency or plausibility
has passed away," and announces that the Fed-
eral Government intends to compel tbe seceded
States to return to the Union by war. He says
that " the United States have accepted this
civil war as an inevitable necessity." He de-
clares that "there will be here only one nation
and government," that ''the thought of a disso-
lution of this Union, peaceably or by force,
his never entered into the mind of any candid
statesman here." We suppose he does not
think the statesmen of the South are in earnest,
though be charges them with having inaugur-
ated "deadly war."
It is pretty clear, however, that Lincoln and
his advisers do not expect to "put down the re-
bellion in a single campaign. The volunteers
now in the field are only called out to serve
until July. In his last proclamation Lincoln
calls for " forty-two thousand and thirty-four
volunteers, to serve for the period of three
years, unless sooner discharged," directs that
the regular army of the United States be in-
creased by the addition of eight regiments of
infantry, one regiment of cavalry, and one re-
giment of artillery : making altogether a maxi-
mum aggregate increase of twenty-two thou-
sand seven hundred and fourteen officers and
enlisted men ; and orders the enlistment, for
not less than one or more than three years, of
eighteen thousand seamen, ia addition to the
present force, for the naval service of the Unit-
ed States.
This is the administration programme, which
however, the proclamation declares'will be sub-
mitted to Congress as soon as it assembles.'
That body, from the present rabid temper man-
ifested by the Northern people represented by
it, will doubtless vote all the men and means
asked by the Republican administration.
In the meantime, we shall see what progress
Lincoln makes in "retaking the forts and other
public property of the United States," captured
by the seceding States. The Washington dis-
patches of the New York Herald of the Cth,
gives a declaration of the intentions of the Lin-
coln Government.
Among these it is said that "Gen. Butler,
commanding a force that will be landed from a
fleet in Baltimore harbor, controlling all com-
munication with Baltimore by sea, completely
invests the city and it must fall or be laid in
ashes.
"The first demonstration to be made in the
vicinity of Washington will be to throw out ad-
vance posts, a circuit of twenty miles, or there-
about, around Washington, including Virgin-
ia and the city of Alexandria."
"The next move of the Government will be to
repossess tbe Navy Yard at Norfolk, and open
and keep open the water communication thereto.
At this point a formidable battle may take
place if the people of Virginia will permit the
troops of the seceded States to pollute her soil
for the purpose of making war upon the Fed-
eral Government.
"In the meantime keep an ear to the ground,
and the thunder of the Federal guns will be
heard at Fort Pickens and on the Mississippi."
We give the Herald's statements for what
they are worth. _
Virginia.
It is stated, upon apparently good authority,
that Gen. Lee has given, notice that Virginia
troopg will not move upini Wanbingtun city no
less the State is invaded or its citizens molest-
ed. Gov. Letcher's late call for troops declares
that the object is to resist the coercive policy of
Lincoln and " with a determination to repel in-
vasion."
Gov. I.etcher, of Virginia, received on Wed-
nesday last 5500 approved muskets, from Gov.
Ellis, of North Carolina. They are a portion
of the arms seized by North Carolina at the
Fayetteville Arsenal, which has proved one of
the rarest prizes yet captured.
Fourteen hundred Tennessee troops, and a
tatallion of Alabamians have reached Lynch-
burg.
On the 7th inst. there were 4000 troops at
Norfolk.
The authorities are fortifying Norfolk and
Hatteras Inlet.
The Kentucky Regiment had arrived at
Lynchburg, Virginia. They were greeted with
heartfelt enthusiasm at every point from Nash-
ville. They remained but a short time at
Lynchburg, having been ordered suddenly to
Harper's Ferry on the 2d.
Major T. B. Flournoy's Regiment of one thou-
sand Arkansians are on their march to Virgi-
nia, and will be in Lynchburg in a few days.
Virginia, it is reported, is concentrating in
force at Harper's Ferry.
The following dispatch conflicts with most
others, in regard to the designs of Lincoln :
Alexandria, Va., May 8.—The city presents
a quiet surface. The rumors of occupation by
Lincoln's troopa are not credited.
The Richmond Enquirer states that the pro-
clamation of Gov. Letcher for volunteers in
Virginia has been responded to by over seventy
thousand soldiers.
All the railways centering at Richmond have
been connected by temporary tracks laid
through the city, for the purpose of facilitat ing
tbe transportation of troops.
By Telegraph.
Houston, May 13, 8 A. M.—Tbe following
important dispatch is from the Telegraph extra
of this morning :
McKinniy, May 6,1861.
We are in a blaze of excitement just at this
time. Lincoln had reinforced Fort Washita,
and tbe natives became somewhat alarmed on
the 2d inst. Rumors from Sherman were sent
to this and adjoining counties, for men U> go
over to Washita, and capture them and take
their arms. The next day about 125 men start-
ed from here and went to the call, other com-
panies did tbe same, and on their an tval on
Red River they numbered 700 men. In the
meantime the U. S. troops being apprised of
our intentions retreated to Fort Arbuckle, and
also got the force from Fort Cobb, making their
numbers about 800. Our troops are now hold-
ing them at bay, and have sent for reinforce-
ments. The dispatch arrived here last evening,
and to-day about 100 men have left 'jere, and I
understand about 200 from Lamar, and 200
Irom Red River counties, and about 200 from
Dallas. You may soon exptct to bear of an-
other victory for Texas.
Thk New Orleans Steamers.—The Pica-
yune repeats the statement that the Southern
Steamship Company, are desirous of keeping
in operation as long as it can be done safely,
their line of vessels to Texas. The seizure of
three of their steamers—the Texas, Ilewes and
Tennessee—by order of tbe Governor of that
State, has, no doubt, materially interfered with
the regular working of the line, so far at least
as those two fine vessels, the Texas and Hewes,
and concerned. But, it is stated that the com-
pany still have at their disposition the steam-
ships Charles Morgan, Mexico, Matagorda, Gal-
veston, Orizaba, Snwanee, Arizona, Austin,
Gen. Rusk,^ and perhaps one or two others,
which will suffice to keep up the regular steam
communication with Sabine Pass, Galveston
Matagorda Bay and Brownsville, via Brazos
Santiago. The Picayune says :
They are not yet registered under the C.S
flag for the reason that tbey carried the U S
mails, and it was desirable, under Postmaster
General Reagan's circular, to keep up the con-
nection as long aa the D. S. mail contracts ex-
isted and were not interrupted by the U. S.
Government itself. Of course, when war is
formally declared to exist between the North-
ern and the Southern Governments, these
steamers will be placed under their own flag.
They will be of great value to the Confederate
Government, or the State Governments of Lou-
isiana and Texas, even, should a blockade be
established; for thev are swift enough to out-
run most of the U. S. steamers, and being
built especially for tbe Louisiana and Texas
coast navigation, and their officers being all fa
miliar with that navigation, which is difficult
and dangerous, it will easily be seen what im
portant services tbey can render.
COMMERCIAL.
VKEKLT REVIEW.
Galveston, Saturday, May 11, 1861.
Last Sunday we had news from Liverpool to
April 23d, reporting the sales of cotton in Liv-
erpool the week ending with the 19th, at 69,600
bales, and 5,500 for export. Tbe week's busi-
ness closed firm at an advance on prices at
1-16 to Fair Orleans is quoted at 8%d„
and Middling Orleans is quoted at 7J£d., and
Middling Mobile at 7%d.
In Galveston the receipts of cotton have been
1032 bales ; the export 540 bales. The sales do
not exceed 150 bales, at irregular prices. Tbe
nearest approach to a basis of quotations may
be stated at 9@10c. V & for Middling. The
British barque A. L. Reed has been filling up
for Liverpool. She carries upwards of 3,000
bales, and has afforded shippers a good oppor-
tunity to dispose of their cottons. She ia now
nearly ready to clear, and will leave little cot-
ton in port.
The general stagnation in trade, prevents us
from giving any íeliable quotations in other ar-
ticles of produce or exchange.

United States Navy.
The Northern papers boast a good deal of the
preparations for carrying on the war against
the South by sea. They say that a dozen ves-
sels of Commodore Stringham's fleet will very
shortly put to sea. It is to consist c.f fifty war
vessels of various descriptions, accompanied
by sufficient steam trasporta for tbe accommo-
dation of a land force of 20,000 strong. This
force, the northern papers say, will prove suf-
ficient to make an efficient blockade of every
inlet on the Southern coast, into which any
vessel drawing six feet of water might other-
wise enter. This is so obviously untrue that it
needs no contradiction : yet the northern papers
tell their readers "that not a bale of cotton or
a cargo of other southern production can seek
a market through any southern port, and with-
out the proceeds of the sale of their crops, the
disunionisis will have no means whatever of
procuring military supplies of any description.''
This, however, is not enough to satisfy the
Republican administration at Washington. Tbe
Washington Evening Star of the 3d says :
There is an understanding in naval circles
that all the available men-of-war on foreign
squadrons will be called home. It is said that
the gunboats of the Mediterranean and African
fleets are already bound to the United States.
These would make the blockade fleet very
formidable. The Mohican, Mystic, Sumter,
Iriquois, gunboats; the steamers Richmond,
Susquehanna, San Jacinto ; and the corvettes
Constellation, Portsmouth, and others added to
those already nearly fit for commission at the
navy-yards, would enable the government,
witli tbe aid of other available craft, to stop all
maritime communication with the southei
ports.
There is an evident acknowledgement of
weakness here.
He who knows the world will not be too bash-
ful; and he who knows himself will never be
too impudent.

G. B. NEWMAN, Optician.
I have tested the Brazilian Pebble Spectacles sub-
mitted to me by Mr. Newman for inspection. 1 have
examined them well under my Microscope and Taur-
malin plates, (the only Pebble trier,) and found them
to be entirely void of cavities, and more transparent
than the finest of glasses. I have at the same time
examined some glasses represented to surpass all others
and contrary to that representation, I have discovered
that they are porous ar d contain small cavities imper-
ceptible to the naked eye, and therefore I do not con-
sider them so well calculated to protect the eye as those
sold by Mr. Newman, to which no glass lenses stand
the least comparison. T. J. HEARD, M. D.
Galveston, Nov. 13,18fi0.
Ma. Newman—Dear Sir: I feel great pleasure in
sta ing that the Spectacles which I purchased from you
last Spring are far superior to any that I have been
using during the last twenty years. Owing to the con-
stant use of them, I find my vision so much improved
that I can now occasionally read and write without
the aid of glasses.
Very respectfully, your's. Sec.,

PI LE'S PATENT IRON TIE.
THE attention of Planters and others interested in
Cotton is respectfully invited to a NEW TIE for
fastening Iron Bands on Cotton Bales. We have had
its merits thoroughly tested by use, and now offer it
with confidence to the public, being assured of its su-
periority over all other Ties .vet offered for sale.
From its simplicity and facility of working, we are
confide it that it will give perfect satisfaction to the
Cotton interests In the use of this Tie the entire
strength of the Band is retained, (no holes being re-
quired to be made in the bands ai in the fastening of
the Passman's an-l other patents.) It can be reused
at the compress with equal speed of the rope, without
that loss iu changing to rope which has been the great
cau-e of retarding the general practice of Banding
Cotton with Iron.
This Tie, we claim, overcomes this—the only serious
obstacle to the use of the iron band, which possesses
to planters and others, as is admitted by all properly
informed persons, many and great advantages over
the rope bund.
First—Less in cost.
Second—Less liable to breakage of bands in hand-
ling, saving greatly in this item of expense and loss
of Cotton.
Third—In its security atrainst the casualty of fire,
amounting to almost a full insurance in its transpor-
tation to market—for it is a proved fact, tliat a bale of
Cotton banded with iron can scarcely be burned*
Fourth—That it t akes up very much less room r n
shipboard. l«ni.ling he cotton in le?s space, making it
more profitable for the ship to freight, and many other
advantages well known to the public.
The undersigned having accepted the Agency for the
sale of Iron Bands and Ties on Cotton Bales, has
opened a Depot for the sale of the same, at his Store,
on the Strand, where he is prepared to furnish Plan-
ters and others with their supplies, on reasonable
terms.
A large stock has been ordered direct from Liver
pool, to meet the demands for the incoming crop.—
This Tie lias been thoroughly tested in the country,
and by the Compressers in this city, and has given uni-
versal satisfaction ; and I can, therefore, confidently
recommend it as l>eing the best Tie yet offered to the
public. ALLEN LEWIS, Sole Agent.

Tho proprietors ami manufacturers of HOS-
TETTEU'S CELEHK.V1EÜ STOMACH 151T-
TERS ean appeal niih perfect confidence to
physicians ami citizens generally of the United
States, because the artille has attained arepu-
tation heretofore unknown. A few facts upon
this point will speak more powerfully than
volumes of hire assertion or blazoning puffery.
The consumption of Hostellers Stomach Hit-
ters for the Iii-a year amounted to over a half-
million bottles, an I Irom its manifest steady
increase in time- past, it is evident that during
the coming year the consumption will reach
near one million bottles. This immense amount
could never have been sold but for the rare
medicinal properties contained iu the prepara-
tion, and the sanction of the most prominent
physicians in those sections of the country
where the article is best known, who not only
recommend the Hitters to their patients, but
are ready at all times to give testimonials to its
efficacy in nil cases of stomachic derangements
and the diseases resulting therelrom.
This is not a temporary popularity, obtained
by extraordinary efforts in the way of trum-
peting the ([iinliiies of the Hitters, but a solid
estimation of an invaluable medicine, which is
destined to be as enduring as time itself.
Hosteller's Stomach Hitters have proved
a Godsend to regions where fever and ague
and various other bilious complaints have
counted their victims by hundreds. To be
able to state confidently that the "Bitters"
are a certain cure for the Dyspepsia and like
diseases, is to the proprietors a source of un-
alloyed pleasure. It removes all uiorbid matter
from the stomach, purifies the blood, and
imparts renewed vitality to the nervous system,
giving it that tone and energy indispensable
for the restoration of health. It operates upon
the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs,
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores them
to acondition essential to the healthy discharge
of the functions of nature.
Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily as
per directions on the bottle, and they will find
•in it a stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort
declining years, as it is pleasant to the palate,
invigorating to the bowels, excellent as a tonic,
and rejuvenating generally. IVc have the evi-
dence of thousands of aged men and women
who have experienced the benefit of using this
preparation while suffering from stomach de-
rangements and general debility: acting under
the advice of physicians, they have abandoned
all deleterious drugs and fairly tested the
merits of this article. A few words to the
gentler sex. There are certain periods when
their cares are so harassing that many of them
sink under the trial. The relation of mother
and child is so absorbingly tender, that the
mother, especially if she be young, is apt to
forget her own health in her extreme anxiety
for her infant. Should the period of maternity
arrive during the summer season, the wear of
body and mind is generally aggravated. Here,
then, is a necessity for a stimulant to recupe-
rate the energies of the system, and enable the
mother to bear tip under her exhausting trials
and responsibilities. Nursing mothers gene-
rally prefer the Bitters to all other invigora-
tors that receive the endorsement of physi-
cians, because it is agreeable to the taste as
well as certain to give a permanent increase
of bodily strength.
All those persons, to whom we have particu-
larly referred above, to wit: sufferers from
fever and ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea,
dysentery, indigestion, loss of appetite, and
all diseases or^derangements of the stomach,
superannuated invalids, persons of sedentary
occupation, and nursing mothers, will consult
their own physical welfare by giving to Hos-
tetter's Celebrated Storonch Bitters a trial.
CAUTION.—We caution the public against
using any of the many imitations or counter-
feits, but ask for Hostettek's Celebrated
Stomach Bitters, and see that each bottle has
the words " Dr. J. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters"
blown on the side of the bottle, and stamped
on the metallic cap covering the cork, and
observe that our autograph signature is on the
label.
