The opinion of Mr. Hoar refers
only to Che Federal test oath, and has

The Campaign Opened!—Falls Conn:
tj In the Van—"Close up the
Ranks!"
At a meeting of the citizens of Falls
county, held at the. court house in
Marlin, on Saturday, Sept. 18, 1869,
Judge Wm. R. Reagan was called to
the chair, and B, W. Rimes appoint-
ed secretary.
The chairman explained the object
of the meeting to be the appointment
of delegates to the contemplated eons
vention at Calvert, and to advocate,
before that convention, the claims of
our fellow citizen, Gen. B. G. Shields,
as a candidate to represent this (3rd)
Congressional District in CoDgress.
On motion, the chair appointed Dr.
Wm. Killebrew, D. T. Bledsoe, Major
L. G. Scogin and Dr. G. W. Outler, to
draft resolutions expressive of the
sense of this meeting. Wherenpou
the Committee retired, and returning
reported the following resolntions
which were unanimously adopted.
Whereas, the people of Falls conns
ty, in Convention with our siBter
counties of this District, feel no ordi*
nary interest in a proper representa-
tion in the Congress of the United
States from the Third Congressional
District. Therefore, resolved.
1st. That we feel the imperative
neccessity of harmony and united ac-
tion on the part of the voters of this
District, and the election of some man
to Congress who. while being cot
obnoxious to the national authorities
now in power, will represent the Dis
trics and our people in a spirit ot
justice and liberality, and by way of
effort to secure such unity of action.
2d. Besolved, that the Chairman
of this meeting appoint five delegates
to meet delegates from other counties
in this District at Calvert, Texas, on
the second Monday in October, 1869
for the purpose of consultation and
harmonising upon one man.
"i 3rd' Resolved, That we have- an
abiding confidence in the-ability, inn
tegrity and sterling worth ot' our fel
low citizens. Gen. B G, Sbicid«, and

to represent us in the next Congress.

If Galveston is such a good market
for the planter, why ia it that buyers
are forced to send agents to the inte-
rior to buy cotton and send it to Gal«
veston. This ia a fact, however. And
we personally know parties who are
employed by cotton houses in Galvess
ton to travel for them and purchase
large quanties of cotton, and who are'
no doubt, instructed, in paying Gal
veston quotations.
We repeat our bints to planters, to
bring your cotton to Houston, where
you can sell it for'the highest market
price and pay commissions to no
one.

We. copy the following items from
the Qonzales I aquifer:
The Storm —On the Ciblo we learu
that the crops were very seriously
damaged by a hailstorm. The stones
are represented as being very large;
and it is thought that many calves,
colts, sheep and pigs were killed.
We learn from the Rev. W. T
Thorn berry, who resides at San Mar-
cos, that the river at that place was
ten feet six inches higher than dn ring
the July overflow. Many fields of
cotton that were white with the grow
ing crops, and which were supposed
to. be above high water mark, were
completely ruined. • ,
Mr. Lamkin's -saw mill, on the San
Marcos, fourteen miles above here,
Was washed from, its foundation into
the river. None of the machinery^
however, was injured,, but the stones
of the grist mill have not yet been
found. V .
Peeler Cotton. — Seeing much
said in the papers of the celebrated
Peeler cotton., reminds us that our
frflnd. Mr. F. P. Morey.f living in the
south-western portion of this county,
has several q^res growing, which, he
informs us, is doing remarkably well,
and will, notwithstanding the worms,
make at. leasta bale to the acre. Mr.
Morey regards it as the very best cot-
ton lor Western Texas, and as he is
the only planter cultivating it in this
county, that we know of, we .presume
he will have some seed to dispose of
next spring. He is so much pleased
with it.that he intends cultivating it
altogether hereafter. We notice that
a bale of Peeler cotton from .Missis-
sippi, recently sold • in Mobile, for
French account, at 40 cents per pound
Our Gonzales planters should by all
means cultivate it.
The celebrated race horse Babel
took his departure last Monday for
San Antonio, to. take part in the fall
races, which are to commence next
Monday week, the 4th prox. Rebel
was in fine plight, and we expect to
hear a good report from him, notwith*
standing there will be one or two
crack horses entered against him in
the two mile heats.
Others in same'ratio.
"The H*n«t«n Telegraph en Cotton
Picking."
The Galveston News of the 26th
inst. devotes a column and a quarter
of editorial in a futile effort to bols
ster up and defend the pecadilloes
and piekings of the Galveston com
pressing 'r and instead of investigate
ing the evils complained of by us as
did the Civilian— and which are
well known to the planter—and ap«
plying a corrective, the writer resorts
to personalities. The News editor
was evidently in a bad humor. He
had no doubt a few moments previa
otia had a conversation with a com-
mercial agent or two Who have passed
down recently fr6m the interior, sad*
der if not wiser men, who had been
losing their best exertions to secure
Betton for Galveston, and will be very
irell satisfied if they get one bale out
W every five hundred they put their
hopes upon. Says one of those gen
n in oof hefting a few days ago
eaking'.ot his ill luck In securing
ten for his house in Galveston:
The fact is that: the merchants of
n' have treated the cotton
3>fcnteres very bad.ly, and the plan
IS have found'it out; and I would
be,^ all- surprised to see very
little cottonrcomparatlvely-tq>ealifo &j
shipped to Galveston by the planter
this .season." We do not,desire to
have a controversy with the Galves-
ton News, but will not avoid ifcif it
be desired.
Our duty is to defend tlie planters,
and just so long as our articles are
appreciated by them, we shall keep
the planter posted.
We did make a mistake in our estis
mate, but it was to the advantage of;
Galveston, When we referred to the
News for our data. We how fiodthat
as to the number of bales rec'eiVed,
•We, in-our haste, took it from the ta«
ble, which gives' the Whole exports
from Texas; when we Bliould have
taken our figures from the one show-
jng the receipts at Galveston. Th&,
News, therefore, is most unfortunate
in trying to depend upon this error,
because as the receipts at Galveston
were less than the whole exports, the
amount of picking #as much larger
compared with the receipts, and in
stead of our estimate now let us take
the figures^ AeiNews: " "•

Plot to Release Vol. Verger.
Cincinnati, Sept. 22.—A special
from Jackson, Miss., to the Commer-
cial of this morning says: >(An or«
ganized conspiracy to release Col.
Yerger from military custody has been
discovered, and checked, mainly
through the zeal and promptitude of
the commandant of the post, Col. J.
S. Fletcher, Jr. Strange to say agents:
in the attempt are from the r^nkf of
the United fctates army. A sergent
and two corporals and seven privates
are under arrest on the charge of cons
spiracy, with outside parties, to effect
the prisoner's escape. The wives of
two of the soldiers have been used as
go-be-tweens, and it is asserted on
what at present seems reliable aue
thority, that Mrs. Yerger was cogni*.
zant of the fact. There is no doubt
that outside parties have been acting
in concort with the guards, and to
those would have been intrusted the
work of spiriting the prisoner .-away
in the event of his escape from the
confines of the camp. The soldier
once in the Confederate army," who
some weeks ago discovered in Yer-
ger's possession a key by which, he
could unfasten his manacles, but who
did not report the circumstance to

statement of the News of Sept, 2. It
will be seen from the gentleman's
figures that the pickings are largely
increased. above our previous esti
mate.
The News says :L/' At the time we
first reported "pickings" to the extent
of 935 bales, we stated unequivocally
that the exports, as compared with
the receipts exhibited a difference of
the number indicated; that the deficit
was derived from- loose cotton not
baled until after its receipt here, from
small lots received here in bales duis
ing the mos*i active season and not
counted in our receipts," &c., &c
"Also from seed cotton sent to be
ginned and baled, and from pickings'
The explanation as regards the "loose
cotton not baled until after its receipt
here," and also from seed cotton sent
here to be ginned, will be highly sat
isfactory to the planter. A scribbler
and as desperately wicked as we are,
that pait of the defence amuses us,
and we have no doubt that it will
amuse and interest the planter as
much. '

To to ilie Editor of the "TelegraphJV
The course pursued^ by the agents
of the New'. York anil Galveston
steamers regarding Houston business,
is exceedingly aggravating, ^otonly
is our freight detained days ami weeks
in Galvestion on the specious plea,
that as the Central Railroad has been
unable to move np country freights
promptly; no preference shall he
Bhown in the delivery at Galveston,
but the cotton of our shippers ia re-
fused unless it is oomprossed in Gal-
veston. It appears that the line re-
presented by Messrs. T. H. McMahan
& Co., regards the basineaa as a mon*<
opoly and that enterprising hpuae
has determined to monopolize for the
Galveston preeseis and drays the trifle
of chargPB accruing from hauling
through Galvestonscreets and press-
ing in Gal veston machines.
I understand that the New Orleans
and New York line of steamera are
giving through bills of lading to Gal
veston on merchandise, at the same
rates as this New York line,
suggest that perhaps the best way to
bring these gentleman to their senses
is tO-direct freight bytbe New Orleans
route. If, in addition tO this, the
Morgan tine should sho w J a disposi*
tion to oblige our trade by giving
through bills on cotton to New York,
it will,JI think, add somewhat to their
business. I am, sir, • .."V / ..
