the Radicals-at the North are clamor-

A Church.
We again revert to the subject of.
Imilding a church in Hempstead. It,
is a subject that demands the atten-
tion of all lovers of moral and intel-
lectual culture and the progression of
our youth, by giving to -them, a fit
nlaceto receive religious instruction.
Many attempts have been made here
to build a proper house of worship,
but all, through whose fault We know
not, have failed. Our citizens ap-
pear to be alive to the necessity of
*liis matter, buf no one is willing to
make the first step in the right direc-
tion. We have heard on several oc-
casions, offers by individuals to con-
tribnte this or that, and so help the
cause, but without, a strong and Per-
severing attempt being made, nothing
will be done. Now we suggest that
some person make, an estimate oi
what a church would cost, and then,
when the sum uecessary is ascertain-
ed, let a paper be circulated among
our church loving citizens for names,
pledging a certain amouut, until the
whole sum is obtained. As for a site,
ws do not doubt that the city govarn-.
ment, if applied to, will donate for
this purpose, á piec¿ of laud, which
will take off considerable of the ex-
pense. When ws rolled upon tbe
fact that a good plaee of worship, con-
veniently located,^ will add to the
population and interest of our city,
the necessity for such a thing «annot
be denied. Not long since, in answer-
ing souie questions put to i>s by &
stranger, in reference to tbe popula-
tion of our city, he asked ns, alter
being surprised at our statements,
another, and one that mortified us to
answer,—"how many churches have
you ?" . We told him none. "What!
a city of 2,000 inhabitants and no
church !" Fellow-citizens, it looks
bad. Don't you think so)
Crops—Crops in Austin county
are looking well and progressing fine-
ly. Cotton, thongh not planted to
any great extent, is doing fivly,
while corn, potatoes, beans and other
staple articles are doing excellent.
The country is almost entirely free
from that pestiferous insect, the grass-
hopper, and, as a consequence every-
thing, speaking generally, is growing
finely.
We have received the first No. of
the Texas Farmer, a sterling agricul-
tural paper published at Henderson,
Texas, by Messrs- Marshall & Dod-
. >n. It is printed on fine, white pa-
er and large clear type, and its typ-
¿raphical appearance bespeaks com-
ondable skill, while its editorials
- ince a marked ability on the part of
editors. We wish it that gener-
as encouragement frpm our farmers
• hich its merits deserve. Terms

shall prevent any qualified citizen of
the United States from exercising tbe
right of suffrage at any election, in
any State, on account of their race,
parantage or color, such person shall
be punished by ffne and imprison-
ment. Mr I3roomall spoke in sup-
port of the bill.
Mr. Stevens offered a substitute,
declaring that every male citizen of
the United states above the a°re of
O
twenty-one years, "shall be entitled
to vote upon a31 national questions."
After making his Buncombe speech
Mr. Broomall withdrew his motion,
and the bill, with tbe amendments,
remain with the Judiciafy Commit-
tee.
The radicals have no idea of en-
acting any such law, except for the
South.
Col. W.J. Hutchinshas resigned
his position as President of the Cen-
tral Railroad. We make this an-
nouncement with mnch regret, as
during the time Col. Hutchins has
helu this office he has given univer-
sal satisfaction, and benefitted the
road, of which he has been the head
for seven years, very materially, and
placed it upon a firm foundation.
Col. W. R. Baker, formerly the Vice
President of the road, succeeds him,
and is ably fitted to fill the position
vacated by the resignation of Col.

The Troubles in Tennessee.—
Gen. Thomas, it appears, lias received
a letter from a federal officer in North
Alabama, complaining of threatening
demonstrations made by persons sup-
posed to belong to the Ku Klux Klan
against wliiteand colored Union men.
In one case a revolver was drawn,
but it does not appear that it was
used. Another letter had leached
i be general from a member of the
Tennessee Legislature, whose wife
wa. so bau.'y scared by alndof
shouting men, who p."i?sed her Louse
one night, that she tied to i\«.\tshville.
As Tennessee has a recognized State
government, nothing can be dor-- by
the military in the matter, except on
a formal call from her Legislature,
which is now in session, for aid to sup-
press insurrection. If the existgency
is so pressing as General Thomas is
led lo believe, the State authorities
w ill doubt less make a demand for help,
in legal form, before Jong.

Many sensational rumors about

We find the following diabolical
paragraph in' the Praiie Farmer,
nnhHctjtt(J at Chicago, Ill's.
•■Wanted,—Agents to sel! the life

A great howl was raised in tut-
North on account of a nearly similiar
advertisement in the Richmond, Ya„
papers in 1863, about Lincoln &
Company.
Chicago is going to have the larg-
est anu mist elegant railway depot

tirely of stoijp. by the three leading

cost, when completed, nearly two
million of dollars.
The Rasa Observer desires to no-
tify people seeking homes in Texas,
that Cherokee county, is not only a
white man's county, but that provis-
ions of ail kinds are abundant. Corn
is plentiful at 40 to 50 cents a bush-
el j bacon 10 to 12i cents a pound :
lard 12;} ce-t3 ; eggs 8-to 10 cents a
dozen ; wbile oxen, horses, mules and
stock? are in a good supply at reason-
able prices. The prospects for large
crops of corn and cutton were never
more flattering.
'• FatherRyaa," the famous priest,
poet and orator, thusdeals with a class
now very numerous among the Loyal
Leagues of the South:
Then, are men who desert the altars
of a lobt cause round which they once
stood-with the blood in- their t carts
panting for liberation, and who kneel
to offer homage at the alli;rs of suc-
cessful wrong. There are men who
trample under foot the very standards
that once floated proudly over them.
There are men base enough to lift
their hands against the very rights
for which they once uplifted swords.
We are uot such. For-us, principle
is principle, right is right—yesterday
—to-morrow—forever. Submission
¡o might is not surrender ot right.
We yiehl to ibe one, but shall never
yield dp to'tbe other,
Thv i nlawing extract is from the
Isasliviiie Banner, which we produce
without comment:
A man, McAdam by name, who
was tried, found guilty and commit-
ted to the penitentiary, from Frank-
lin county, for attempting a rape
upon bis mother-in-law, lias been
pardoned out of the State prigon,
commissioned as a captain in the
"loyal militia," and is now raising a
company of negroes in the county of
1' rauklm. We state this positively,
and are backed by the amplest testi-
mony, and defy contradiction. Upon
the trial of McAdani before the Su-
preme Coil t, which confirmed the
original decision, a letter was prodncd
in which he told his wife, to whom it
was addressed, that the doors of the
penitentary were greased by Brown-
low, and that if he should be con-
victed he would be free in a few weeks.
Comment is out of place. We sub-
mit tbe atrocity to the contemplation
of the civilized North, In Tennessee
we have no redress.

The Northern radical petition to
Congress for the abolition of the
Presidency, is a rich document, not
only for assuming that Congress has
auv more riirht to abolish the Preti-
ti O
dency than itself, r but because it
argues that the Republic is in danger
from the ascendancy of executive
power. It would take a million bag-
pipes to drone tbe praise of this hyp-
ocrisy.
The petition wants the executive
functions transferred to an adminis-
trative commission, or Congressional
ministry, " to be chosen by Congress
from their own body, or from among
other competent citizens."
