The Southern Baptists.
In the Southern Baptist Con-
\(jntfwir itrc Oonuiiitcev, on the
Mission to China made a report
and adopted resolutions, 011 the
Kith, inst, at St^ Louis. The
general aspect of our missionary
Work in that empire commends
it to the sympathies and prayers
of the entire Baptist brother-
hood. Also in view of the recent
massacre of missionaries at Tien-
tsin and the impression that a
general rising of the Chinese
against foreigners was likely to
occur, and would be connived
at, if not encouraged, by the
Chinese officials. The Board
correspond with the government
authorities in relation to the safe-
ty of our citizens as guaranteed
by the treaty between China and
the Unitetl States.
The report of the committee
011 the colored population has
been adopted. It recommends
that pastors and. conductors of
Sunday schools, whom they need,
be furnished as far as possible
among themselves, and that
general and ministerial schools
be provided.
The work 011 the International
bridge, crossing the Navasota,
was commenced nearly a month
since. The grading principally
finished between that point and
Hearne. The road-bed has been
cut out to a point on Buffalo
Creek, and grading progressing
east of Hog-pen prairie.—j liren-

Governor Dunn.
The New Orleans correspon-
dent of the Monroe Intelligencer
writes:
Governor Dunn, who is for the
time being assuming the guber-
natorial mantle, has refused to
reprieve or commute the sen-
tence of the two men awaiting
execution, and we suppose they
will be hung to-day. We think
Governor Dunn has acted wise-
ly in this instance in refusing to
reprieve, because in the first
place, if death was ever merited
or capital punishment justifiable,
it certainly is in this instance,
for the two men were convicted
of a horrible and fiendish murder.
We think our citizens owe
Governor Dunn a debt of grati-
tude on account of the courage
and fortitude he has displayed
in refusing to intercept or delay
the course of justice. Knowing
the kind and tender heart of
Governor Dunn, Ave can realize
how very painful a trial the re-
fusal to stay the hand of justice
must have been to him ill this
instance. *
The State Journal says the
Republicans of Texas have be-
come tired of nursing, indulging
and supporting weakueed, com-
promising, wavering, doubtful
conservatives, men of negative
temperaments and 110 force of
character or personal courage.
The positive, fearless, working
Republicans of the State have
made the party, and they do not
propose to be burdened by pas-
sive, cowardly men. who, after
getting positions through the ef-
forts and influence of the Radi-
cals, are always on the point of
and very often do sell out to the
Democracy. Now all such are
warned that they will be tolera-
ted 110 lounger ; it matters not
who they are or what they have
been.
Noye's Great Crescent City
Circus—Notwithstanding all re-
ports to the contrary, this great
troupe will arrive and give a few
of their unequaled and unap-
proachable equestrian perfor-
mances, at which all of the old
ftivoritjes, and also a number of
new candidates for public fa vors
will appear. Remember, with our
friend Charley, their is 110 such
word as fail.—[City Ex.
Water is getting scarce and
110 prospect of rain.
