The Richmond Enquirer of the Gth says:
From a gentleman well informed on army

four companies of infantry and two light batte-

forbids the supposition that the reinforcement
of any fort is the object of this expedition.

at Galveston Texas arrived here on the 8d bring-
ing with him tKK) or aovernmtrt funds handed
him by the Collector of that port which the Seces-
sionists failed to get hold of."
This paragraph appears as if intended for
deception. The amount alluded to was remit-
ted by the United Stales on estimates made
In December in part payment for materials
and labor employed in the construction of the
building at Galveston for custom-house
post office and conrt house. Of ibis sum
-j 2000 was in o warrant on the TJ. S. Assistant
Treasurer at Xew Orleans payment of which
was at first refused on account of the seces-
sion of Louisiana; but the convention of that
Slato nOerwards ordered tbe amount to be
paid. Mr. Blaisdell received tho warrant in
lieu of tho money. So far ia it from being
true that Mr. Blaisdell carried with him this
sum of $9000 he not only expended all the
money ho received here; but drew on Boston
for a large amount to enable him to finish tbe
building tbe Government at Washington hav-
ing refused to transmit funds after the seizure
of the mint and sub-treasury at New Orleans.
The Secessionists never made any attempt
to secure this $9000; nor was tbe amount
paid to Mr. Blaisdell after the secession of this
State.
There was no funds belonging lo the United
States in the custom honse at Galveston at
the time of secession; but upon the adjust-
ment of the accounts a small balance was
found to be due tho undersigned lalo U. S.
Collector of Customs. H. STEWABT.

The Dallas Herald recommeni(3 that the Con-

June. That called for the Sth inst did not
tako place. The Kanfman Democrat recom-
mends the first Monday in May. The circular
of the members of the Legislature published
by ns on Toesday recommend the fourth Mon-
day in May.
We would urge the necessity of primary
meetings being hold at an early day to select
delegates. All we should look at in selecting
is that they be good and true Southern men.

the lairs.
"I apDcalto all loval citizens to facilitate and aid
this effort to maintain the laws and the Integrity of

repossess the forts places and property that have
been seized from Ihe Union.

George Baylor younger brother of tho
Colonel is to be tho first lieutenant of tho
Company. He is quito a young man de-
voted to music books and hnnting a3 hon
est and frank as the daylight of tho most
placid lempor yet cool aud bravo to a re-
markable degree. His brother had him in
battlo with him last year wilh the Indians
in three successive fights and tho Colonel
who is known to bo one of tho cooleit most
courageous and most experienced Eangora
in tbe State informed us when he was hero
last fall that tho daring way in which bis
yourig brother went into these fights aston-
ished ovon him ; and ho was constantly ex
pecting to see liim shot. Ills calmness and
watchfulness however saved him from
much of tho danger-he so freely risked ; and
served him well in bis killing flvo Indians
for his own sharo of tho contest. The Colo-
nel killed three.
In two separate encounters Mr. George
Baylor killed two grizzly bears in Califor-
nia some three or four years ago. That is
considered a great feat wo believe.
A very noticeable trait in these two gal-
lant men is that ero cither will accept the
positions offered them one of Lieutenant
Colonel the other of Lieutenant they have
written to ask their aged mother's consent
and should she intimate any disinclination
to their accepting thoy will not accept. So
wo learn from letters from them to a friend

Sullivan that a homicide was committcd-on
Monday last about three miles above Milli-
crn's in Brn?os county. Jt appears that a
small grocery -was kept there by a Mr. Ad-
ams who had some quarrel with a mau na
med Evetts and that each bad been threat
ing to shoot Ihn other for a few days pre
vious. The statement made to Maj. White
as ho passed through the neighborhood is
that Evetts came to Adams' store early on
Monday morning and shot him dead as he
was opening the door of his store. Major
White had passed that neighborhood a few-
hours before this killing took place and
does not know whether Evotts had been arrested.

Hocstos- axd Liscols. The Washington
correspondent of the Xew York Herald writes
on the 10th:
A few week3 since a distinguished Demo-
crat was requested by Secretary Seward to go
tj Texas acd ascertain the stain nf lfi nnhC
mind there and especially to converse with
Gov. Houston and learn hU views of the pre-
sent secession movement in that State. On
his return he reported that Gov. Houston not
only refused to accept military support from
the ITnitf?d St.1tP3 ftnvarnmAT t.n il..:-..s
that President lidcoln should recall the regu-
lar troops from. Texas.
He also renorted that OnvprnnT- TTnrtnn
urged in the strongest terms the evacuation of
a-uiu uuuiuer ami sricKens stating tnat Ar-
kansas would join Texas in secession in the
event of coercion or even the collection of the
revenue being attempted- Gov. Houston re-
quested to be let alone and maintained that
the Union party of the entire South was dead
if coercion was once attempted.
anis account appearea 10 Te3iaent Lincoln
so" much at variance with what was under-
stood here to be the opinion of Gov. Houston
and knowing tho political proclivities of the
ambassador- the President immediately dis-
patched another messenger to Gov. Houston
aud without waiting for his return has sent
forward the troops to Texas.
This is much more satisfactory. We with
pleasure give this statem. ent room in on
celumns.

The Losdo.t TiiiEsoxLixcoLX. The Lon-
don Times on the 18th criticises very se-
verely Lincoln's Inaugural and says "he
takes merely a lawyer's view of the matter"
regardless of tho actual state of affairs ad-
ding: Would It not be hplfei-to ruMimiTa nt in..
the formation of the Southern Confederacy
and to think a littlo less of constitutional pow-
ers and decorums which can end in nothing
Dai civil war ana s little more of negotiation

war can be averted? Tt would hn an inblli
ble course were the President to say that heyis
Kumi; iu ucguuaie ior peace ortnat ne is j
to entorce a return to the Union bv arms
to say that he is going to excrciso the po
of the constitntion. ignoring- nltnrrethpi
fact of secession is to make war certain w'
cutting off any opportunity for negotiation.
The next day it returns to the subject
in much tho same tone and soys :
The question is not judicial but political
notone of laws and powers but of reason and
expediency. 'We believe that instead of ignor-
ing the sesession of the South and determining
to treat it as noa aeenu the President ought
to recognize it as a reality. We do not say that
he 0U2bt to recoznizc tho rfoht to secede.
which clearly does not exist any more than
the right to rebel against the English crown
claimed by tbe American colonies existed as a
part of the English constitution.
We do not say that tbe President is bound to
treat as legal tbe Confederacy which has risen
np in opposition to his own; but what we
maintain is that as a wise man a patriotic
magistrate and a good citizen he is rendering
an evil service to his conntry if he does not
deal with things as they are instead of aa they
ought to be. When civil war is ns imminent

Torsado. In the week ending the 8lh inst.
a tornado visited the northern part of Tarrant
county doing much damage demolishing
houses and fences and crushing several per-
sons beneath the ruins. Mr. John P.'Shipley
formerly of Dallas countyhad his house blown
down and was so badly wounded himself as to
be in danger of losing his life. The storm
came at night and the roaring was distinctly
heard at Dallas. A mill was blown down rfhd

it may sound leaves no hope or possibility of
reconciliation. The South cannot be heard
because it must not be recognized ; and acts
which must lead to civil war are to be done
rather than admit that things which render
civil war possible have actually occurred.

Considerable cotton is still coming down

gets ott the following :
Now that we will have plenty of straw and

the "lazy bed" plan. .From a little experi-
ment we made last year we are inclined to
think it will sneceed admirably.
Lay off lbs bed the siie you wish it in rich

ten inches apart all over the bed; cover over
the potatoes to the depth of a foot with straw

the potato vines appear above the atraw or

not ba bitten by frost. Should the straw be
two or more feet thick it will make no differ-
ence as the potatoes will come to the top ot
