PEACK ItEIGXS. "" At no time since the first gun was fired at lort Moultrie, dntil the last few weeks, could the caption at the head of this article be, .truthfully said to be the ruling policy of all tlie gov ernments of all the States. The spirit which is now. animating the people, is essentially one ot peace. The mistaken and mis chievous notion which had beeu carefully instilled into the minds of the negroes, by designing parties, thaf Democratic rnle and Democratic triumphs, meant their re-enslavement, has been disproved to them, for itr all the States recently slave-holding' local self government, under Democratic sway, h now tri umphant, aud the colored man is realizing that his right are bejter protected, and his inter ests more caret'iilly guarded, than they were wlien those who arrogated to themselves the special guardianship of the ne gro, were revelling in all the offices of the land, from the chief executive down to the constables and police force. Never again will the colored inaa give 13 confidence to strmigtr?, whose only claim to his confidence, is that he is pro fuse in words and blatant in his professions of regard for the negro, and the self stvled chain piou of the negroe's rights. All eyc3 have lor a long time been turned to South Carolina and Louisiana, and the hopes of those who believed they saw the silver lining ot peace in local government and Democratic rule, have not only not been dis appointed, but they have been even more than realized. The little bow ot promise has, under the wise policy ot Hampton and Niaholls, been expanded into a luminous cloud, which covers each of tho States whose exe cutives they are. Equal laws equal protection were promised to all, without distinction of nice or color and these are -daily being meted out. The dirsf fruits? of this policy are peace and confidence, the suc ceeding onces will bo prosperity and plenty. The wafete places will bo rebuilt. Industry will confidently loo"k for its reward, arid Tvill not be disappointed. Want and destitution "will be among tho things spoken of, but not, seen and felt; in short a new era ot prosperity and hap piness is now awaiting the peo ple of the South, and they should notbe. slow to realize the great benefits to be derived therefrom. - Mes. Elduidqu, ot Memphis, Tennessee, is astonishing the good people of the city of Aus tin' on the subject of spiritism, as the Statesman styles if The Statesman devotes nearly acol umu to telling the wonders the writer witnessed. Among oth er things he was chucked on the shins by an unseen force, and this in broad daylight. Roses and a green peach were thrown into .the room. Was that an attraction of like for like? We should have called for a ripe peach. Altogether the Austinians are a little be wildered by the wonderful "manifestations" in their midst. TnK shad and salmon" placed in the Colorado river about two year3 ago by the JjpS. fish com missioners have'incfeascd, and numbers of the fishes can now be seen at the mouth of Shoal creek. These fish are from three to six inches long. About the time the Colorado was attempted to bo stocked, ten thousand or more were put in Clear creek, a Email stream in Waller county, emptying in to the Brazos. Wo, have never heard of any increase from theso. Maj. West is out in a letter to Hon. W. X. Raney, in which he asserts that neither the con stitution nor the Fifteenth Leg islature are responsible for the tax on the contents of smoke houses. The assessment he says is simply illegal. Tho commu nication occui ies over two col umns of the Daily News. The legality of the tax will proba bly have to be passed npon y tho Supreme court, before all parties at interest are satisfied. Quite a number thorough bred race horses arrived at Houston, for tho4 purpose of participating iu the races during fair' week. XHE NEXT COXGBESSJ. It is a fact well known to every reader, who is even mod erately well conversant with the legislation of Cougress for the last fifteen years or more, that larsc sums have been nppropri tcd from the national treasuary, -tor the improvement of naviga tion. Insignificantstreanis have by this means been made useful to,thoe residing in their vicin age, affording convenience and cheap transportation tor the products ot the soil or the machine shop. Mow, there is a spirit abroad in the land, having for its ob ject the inauguration good fel lowship and friendly feeling be tween tnc sections so recently arrayed against each other in hostile ranks, It Southern Con gressmen are as wise as they arc reputed to be, they will take advantage of this feeling, and seek to have the rights of their .section recognized, and have such a system of internal im provements inaugurated, as will infuse new life into the various industries of the country. Without descending to par ulars, it is manifest that there are many streams in our own State, which, with small appro priations expended in their im provement, could be rendered useful for navigation, and when thus improved, the values of the lands on their banks would be enhanced two and three fold, and in many instances even more than this," while the citi--zens residing contiguous to them, would have their material pros perity promoted. The consti tutionality o such measures, is no longer a question. Then we repeat, with the good feeling likely to prevail in the next Congress, it is to be hoped that Southern Representatives will not fail to take advantage of the apportnnity to press the claims of their section for rec ognition to a fair share of the disbursements in works of inter nal improvement Gcod Exouou. At a Moody meeting of business men recent ly held in Boston, it terminated in gleeful rather than a moody manner. Some were contribut ing ten dollars for their ten mouths old baby, some were giv ing fifteen for their grand fath er, and others were contributing various sums for various par tics related .to fhe givers in diff erent degrees of affiaity and con sanguinity. At length a gentleman arose with a faceup solemn as a hearse, and in clear, distinct tones an nounced, 'l give five dollars for mother-in-law." Tim was too much for even staid and moral Boston, and the shout that greeted the announcement was near akin to that which sa luted the ears of Mnzeppa, when he started on his perilons ride, immortalized by Byron. OsceMoue a Widow. The once famous beauty, and three times married Sal He Ward is once more a widow, in Louis ville, Ky. Her first adventure in the matrimonial stock mar ket, was with the wealthy son of Abbott Lawrence, trom whom she speedily obtained a divorce. Her next adventure was with Dr. Hunt, a fashionable gentle man ot great wealth, who was considerate enough to commit Euicide by jumping from a fourth story window in the mor al city of Chicago. She next married V. P. Armstrong, a wealthy, retired pork merchant of Louisville, whose recent death gives her a right once more to enter the matrimonial market She was ouce the most beautiful woman in America. But a portion of her life has been stormy. What 'Next? There is no "end to the coinage ot new words which circulate as current as if they had passed through the se vere ordeal of the classic mint, and received its approving stamp. Shades ot tho departed, what would ye think of such words as hymened, suicided, en thused, mntrimoaied, and the'r hundred cousins, not to be found in the dictionaries ? m m Boarding houses in largo cities have nearly all beeu 're quested by their boarders to dispense with blue glass butter dishes. They say the blue glass imparts too much vigor to the contents of tho dishes. rsMV!utiwi2i3siaitfMvmt.K DCT1' OFSOUTHEUS 3IEX. If the South intends to be prosperous and independent, no'w that the question of local self government has been-decid-ed in her favor, and may bo said to be fully inaugurated, there is another question to which her sons should lose no time iu di recting their attention. Our al lusion is to manufactures. These cannot be established in a day, nor can the various one needed, all bo started at the same time It is not nec2ssary in order to start manufactures, that one man should be sole owner ol an establishment One ma' bo a farmer a merchant or a profes sional gentleman, and yet con tribute something to the enter prise alluded to. In all places where manufactories have been successtully established., they are' not the result of iudividua! labor, but of combinations of in dividuals. It doe's seem to us that in a county possessing the wealth that Washington do;s, there 'should be no difficulty in getting up a joint stock company having for its object the manufacture of plantation implements, at the least. It is a false economy -for the farmer to bny his wagons, his plows, and even his axe and hoe handles abroad. It would be better for him to buy thes e articles manufactured at home, even if he had to pay a little moie for them, though there i no probability that he would have to do so it made at home. Corn and cotton which were cultivated with a St. Louis or Cincinnati made plow, are haul ed fo the burns and depot plat forms )n White Water wagons. The exhausting flow of mouey from the country for these ar ticles alone, is one that can easily be stopped, and should be. Who among us will liave the honor of taking the first steps to inaugurate a joint stock manufacturing company? If the enterprise was started, the stock, payable in quarterly install ments, would soon be taken. The benefits that would soon manifest themselves, would in duce others to embark in simi lar industries. To grow only corn and cotton, and to manu facture nothing, is to make our selves the voluntarry servants, not to say slaves, ct others. The South has been producing the raw material for others to work up, about long enongb. Let her try a new departure. A New Papee. WTc have received the second number of a six column daily paper, the News, published at Waco, by J. X. Street, editor and propri etor. Tho daily is published at eight dollars per annum, and the weekly at two' Mr. Street is no stranger to the newspa per world, and with his fine ability asu writer, will no doubt make the Jiews a welcome vis itor to its patrons, which we hope will be many. Ge-. J. E. Johnston is at San Antonio, among his earlv friends, for at and near that place, his first days ot military service were spent. He is trav elling on private business, and moves aloag in a quiet maimer, studiously avoiding anything like public'receptions and grand displays. The name of a man really great, has no need of the cheap and flimsy aid of being heralded. The legislatures of Missouri and of Illinois, have both passed laws making silver coin a legal tender for any amount Even though it is not a legal tender in Texas, wo never refuse to take it in paymont of subscrip tion or advertising in the Bax- kee. A. Nouth Carolinian, it is said, has invented a cotton pick ing machine. Now if tar heels will just invent an easy going machine for cotton making, he will be a beneff ctor indeed.
