REYNOLDS REMOVED, AND
GEN, CANBY APPOINTED.
Special to Houston Times.
Washington. Nov. 5th.—The
President last evening issued an or-
der directing Gen. Canby to proceed
to Texas as early as practicable and
relieve Gen. Reynolds of the com-
mand of that Department.
Upon assuming command Gen'l
Canby is authorized, when he may
find it necessaiy to a faithful execu-
tion of the laws, to exercise any and
all powers conferred by act of Con-
gress upon District Commanders,
and any and all authority pertaining
to officers in charge of Military De-
partments.
On last Tuesday we attended the
sales at Bellville. A large amount
oí land was sold, mostly at very low
figures, ranging from five cents to site
dollars per acre, in currency, mostly
on twelve months' credit. T~ow i.s
certainly the best time we have ever
known for those who have not a
homestead to procuro one. One
years' crop will more than pay for a
good homestead for any one who will
use tlie proper economy and industry.
Owing to the diminution of the labor
of the country, lands, m many local-
ities, hav-; become of mere nominal
value, and there is not much pros-
pect of high prices for lands until we
have emigration sufficient to occupy
and cultivate them. Austin county
alone can afford ample room for ten
or twelve thousand additional inhab-
itants, and we think it would be a
good policy if large land-holders
would give to good and industrious
emigrants a portion of their lands, as
the balance would thereby be en-
hanced in value more than the whole
is now worth,
How ? By offering every imaginable
inducement to emigrants to come and
settle amongst us. Let us enumerate
the enterprises already stated and in
operation, and then the best plans to
make them yield the most profit
A steam cotton factory, upon
which additions and enlargements are
constantly being made, and which
will add greatly to the wealth and
importance of our town; a steam
iron foundry and machine shop,
where castings of any size can be
made aud finished ; three steam grist
mills capable, in thd aggregate, of
grinding between six and seven hun-
dred bushels of corn three steam
laning and saw-mills and sash fac
tories, at which establishments are
facilities for doing all manner of car-
pentering work, turning, wagon-mak-
ing, car-building, etc.; a steam cot-
ton gin and press; two carriage and
buggy manufactories, where carriages
and buggies of as good make, and as
strong, durable and cheaper than can
be bought in Galveston can be had.
Add to the above the fact that we
have two railroads—the most ener-
getic and progressive in Texas—at
our very doors, and which are now
extending their iron arms so as to
grasp at the heart of the richest por-
tions oí the State; that we are the
principal outlet of ono of the most
thickly populated, fertile counties' in
Texas; that more than half of our
population consists of honest, sturdy,
hard-working, law-abiding Germans;
that the other half are in no wise be-
hind the Germans, and we have a
solid and deep foundation upon which
to build our superstructure. To in-
duce emigrants to come here we must
reduce the price of our lands. Ten,
fif:een, and twenty dollars per acre is
too much to ask wh< n as good land,
in other places, can be had for fifty
cents and a dollar. The fallacy of
such a system should be apparent to
every one, for where a man sells one
acre at twenty dollars, another will
sell twenty acre9 at four dollars, and
ihe balance of his lands increased in
value at least i> fourth. What nrskes
nn acre of land in New York State
worth $000 ? tl:e dense population.
And why is lied so cheap in Texas ?
the scarcity of population. Weinr.st
also convince emigrants that in our
midst their live3 and property will
be secure. That we can easily do,
as the ratio of crimes to the popula-
tion is, in this county, far below that
of many Northern States. We must
let them know that our lands are fer-
tile, markets near at hand, climate
superb, locality healthy ; and when
these facts are thoroughly advertised
abroad, then, and not till then, can we
hope to see our town be'ome one r.i'
che manufacturing centres of the
State. Wiil our citizens make the

^hich demands the careful'considera-
tion5" of every law abiding citizen.
that devoted State. The negroes are
generally the sufferers, though with-
in the last two weeks many white
men have been slain. Gov. War-
moth has confessed his inability to
preserve the peace, and offered the
control of the whole StjUe to Gen.
Itoseeau, but which was declined by
the latter. As a concession to the
citizens of New Orleans, the negro
police have been dismissed, and a
majority of ibe old force reinstated.
This change appears t" give satisfac-
tion, and the difficulties appear to be
settled. Gen. Steadimn was ap_
pointed Sup't. of police, but shortly
afterwards he resigned and since then
there haB been numerous contestants
and applicants for the position. In
the parishes negro nprising3 are fre
qdent anu collisions between whites
and blacks contiutial. The cause is
apparent. Obnoxious laws passed
by their last Leg:slature, unfair and
utterly unsuifed to the people of
Louisiana, and which seek to put the
black man above the whites. That is
the sole cause.
The New York Star exclaims with
astonishment, '.'a town in Texas act-
ually uees gold and silver currency."
lViiat will it say when it learns that
there is not a town in Texas, except
Guiveston, which uses anything else ?
Hard dollars—actually mint diops—
are very nearly all the fashion iu this
State. —[News.

There are now two daily trains tc
Houston and back. They leave Gal-
veston at £.35 a. 31. and 3.50 p. m.,
and go through without delay. The
down trains leave Houston at 8 a. .v.
and 2.45, delivering the evening mail
at Galveston at 6.30 p. 51. There
are 110 passengers taken on the freight
train hereafter. Under tho efficient
management of Superintendent Gre-
jrorv, this railroad is conducted to the
C if *
great convenience of the traveling
community. Speed and safety is his
motto.
We are glad to learn from Presi-
dent W. H. Baker, that the freights
charged by the Central road will
speedily be greatly reduced 011 all the
smaller products ot the country with
a view to encourage their transporta-
tion to our mrakets and stimulate to
increased production. The charge
on shelled corn will be put at only
ten cents per bushel from Bryan to
Houston, and 5 cents from Houston
to this city, making but 15 cents per
bushel from Bryan to Galveston, an J
the charges on hay, potatoes, oats
wheat, rye, eggs chickens, baif&r,
&c., will be reduced in proportion
This may seera a small matter to
sonic, but such a great reduction will
have the effect to cheapen country
products in the markets of Houston
and Galveston more than anything
that has ever been done. We may
expect not only to get those products
much cheaper but to find_our mar-
kets always much better supplied.
In no country can chickens and eggs
be raised so cheaply as in Tex: s.
We understand the price in the couu-
try is only about ten cents a piece for
chickens, and the same per dozen fAl-
egas, v.-Lilj here we have usually to
pay four er five times those prices,
owing, as has been said, to the cost
of transposition. The cheapening
of those products will have the effect
to reduce the expense of living in
our city, and this will be a great bles-
sing to all classes.
Mr. Baker informs us that the
charges fo.- freight would sooner have
o a
been reduced, bat for the fact that
the Company had been expending all
the eaniie^s on the extension of the
road, and ¡heir anxiety to extend the
road as rapidly as possible has pre-
vented the;n fr-vm reducing freights'
as these have b en made their chief
dependence. Bat they have now
probably come to the conclusion that
by this reduction of freights, the in-
crease! amount may fully make up
for the reduced charge, so that the net
earnings may be increased rather
than diminished. At least we hope
and believe that such will be there-
suit. Mr. Baker, informs us that
the Company hava expended all the
earnings of the load on its extension
aud i'.s repairs, and have not realized
a dollar of dividends for the past ten
or twelve years. This is undoubted-
ly the true policy of the Company,
as it is for the host interests of the
people at large. Galveston is deep-
ly and directly interested iu this road
as indeed, we are iu all our roads,
ai:d they are entitled to all the en-
couragement we can give them. The
Central railroad is especially entitled
to credit for the superior fiaaucial

tropolitan Pcftice, which has been

Gen.' Rossea , by request last
night, visited the club room ot the
Innocentr, the club which is the
most prominent in troubles with the
negroes, hnd in which considerable
trouble still existed on account of the
death and "wounding of several of
their members.
In a short speech Gen. Rossean
warned them that the responsibility
for all outrages and disorders in New
Orleans was laid, on bis shoulders,
and that he looked to them to keep
the peace and encourage others to do
tho same. He said thht be felt it
his duty to tell them how it must be
observed, and that every man who
has the right shall vote unmolested
on election day
He waa enthusiastically received,
and the club pledged themselves to
obey his wishes.
During . the recent troubles the
presence of a few United States
uniforms was always sufficient to
restore order.
Gen. Rosseau's force of troops in
the city at no time exceeded á tew
hundred men.

Maorip, Nov. 3.-~A large naval

heavily armed, convoying a fleet of
transports, filled with troops. Dulce

from the American consul, asking
thiit a few U. S. war vessels be sent
there, was refused transmission over
the wires.
The insurgents are six thousand
strong, numbering many Spaniards,
f heir cry is •' Spain, Prim, and Ser-
rano, and down with taxation." The
trooj.s number ten thousand, and are
acknowledged to be insufficient to
quell the rebellion.
Savannah, Nov. 3.—The negroes
appeared in gieat numbers when the
polis opened and took entire posses-
sion. This continued until about
seven o'clock. Every white man
who came to vote was clubbed away.
Finally a £¿ht commenced, and the
negroes weie driven back, and the
whites commenced to vote, in a
fe w minutes the negroes rallied aud
attacked the whites. A negro delib-
erately drew liis pistol and shot a po-
liceman -iu the stomach, mortally
wounciiug him. Filing then became
general in the crowd. The police
then came to preserve order, aud the
negroes fought them desperately.
Fin Ily the police used their pistols,
when the negroes broke end run.

edition of one or the other of the

comes down iu the morning we get

Sense of duty as a good pastor, and
feeling that he onght to embrace all
men in the world in his paternal char-

and non-Catholic bodies of christians,
telling them that none ot them can
hope to unite the church in itself,
and warning their members to hasten
their return to the true fold of Chiast.
He says : " We await witn open
arms the return of those wandering
sons to the Catholic Church, in order
that we may be able to receive them
with all affection into the dwelling of
the Celestial Father and make them
participators iu His everlasting treas-
ures." He also says : " It is that
much-wished for return to the truth
and communion of the Catholic
Church upon which depends rot
only , the salvation of each one in par-
ticular, but of the whole Christian
society; and the world wiil never
enjoy true peace until it forms one
fold under one pastor."

it. feathers and all, to the other nine-

ii into small pieces fed it to the other
eighteen, and it was quickly devour

it to the seventeen remaining ducks,
and still another which he f.-d ti the

there was but ona duck left, which
duck had, of course eaten all the ether
