in the communication of "Brass Tacks,"
which appears on our inside pages, there are
two typographical errors, which corrected,
read tbus:

We have a veil written critisim on the
pown of Adah Isaac Menken, which boa been
in the "pigeon bola" for a week. It ia from
a friend, and de«erves that publication which
ita great Ungth pre rents. It ia very seldom,
aa our reidera are aware, that we devote a
whole dolama to any one subject. How,
then, can we afford to bestow two on a friend.
The criticism in question is the handiwork < f

and knew her intimately.

If mere is, in tba «bol length and breadth
of onr country, a set of merchants or a com-
munity plucked more oloscly than that of
Qalvaatoo, we have yet to hear of it, and
whan we have beard of it. we shall sympathise
with and pity it There ia scarcely a week in
which the bat is not passed for some afar off
benevolent operation. The dead are to be
burned, monuments erected, schools en-
dowed, or something done that, if it was done,
would merit our approbation. Bat after the
bat has passed and the money been collected,
we never hear either of the "fair" or unfair
collectors. Besides these, there are pictures
to be bought, books to be subscribed for,
which go to swell the imposition. These all
answered, there remain the journalistic plun-
derers. It perhaps surprises some to know
that Galveston supports somewuere near a
hundred newapapets. There is not a day in
the year in which one or more canvassers for
newspapers are not patrolling the Strand. The
majority of these newitpapeis hare not a capi-
tal of a thousand dollar-. Tbeir circulation
ia limited to a very few dozen copies
struck off on a rusty old hand pre*?.
The representatives of these papers sre
generally sponges. They are absorbents.
Tbet abscrb hotel bills, railroad bills
and theatre admissions. They are chron-
ic dead-heads—persistent dead-beats. Few of
them have any atanding in the world, or influ-
ence in its affairs. They are semi-genteel
loafers. They have neither the respect of
those who patronize them nor tbe ability to
return any valuable consideration for the
money they receive. These are facts known
to every meicbant on the Strand. It is a sort
of imposiUuu to which they submit; they look
for it aud do not complain, bu« they ioel it
It may beset down as a faot, that the publish-
ers who resort to belittleing means to secure
either circulation or advertisements lor bis

is of no account What merchant foots 'it up
and down tbe street, pestering men to buy his
goods, with the pertinacity of an Italian beg-
gai? Tbe merchant who did it would lose
oaste. A journalist who has not tbe same self

The PilUburg Gazette, a Radical journal of
g >od sense, and to tbe main sdvooating a
moderate application of immoderate princi-
ples, concludes a long, very long argument in
favor of the continuance of tbe Freedmen's
Bureau, with this paragraph:
We have written mora at length than we
intruded in view of the meeting to be held to-
morrow evening al the Third Presbyterian
Ctiureh, in this eity. lo consider tbe duty of
an enlightened and Christian people in those
8remises. Tbe meeting will be addressed by
en. 0- O. Howard, the present head of the
Freedmen's Bureau, a Christian soldier,
wbose name and career aro dear as household
words to ail loyal hearts. Other speakers will
also bo present Will not tbe intelligence,
tbe pstriotism, tbe Christian goodness, the
brains snd tbe soul of these cities also be
present?
From this we infer that the " Christian sol-
dier" is on a mission to secure the counte-
nance of this institution. We presumo be is
working ou public sentiment for that pur-
pose, an enterprise in which we have no sort
of sympathy. When a man uses bis religion
as a curtain stock ia trade for tbe accomplish-
ment of political designs, we tbon cease to
respect that religion as we otherwise vould.
A man's religion, like a woman's virtne, is no
subject for publio discussion. In each o aso
those who claim the most have probably the
least. We do bope tbat tbe Bureau will not
be oontinued. We feel that wo bave tbe right
to speak, which a disloyal journal does not
have. Wo claim tho right to protest against
it. It is it f¿ood thing to know that it the Bu-
reau is coutinucd. General lleyuold* will re-
main at its head. Iio would prevent muoh
rasoality, aud might make the Bureau of romo
uso if it was not already worn out The swim-
mer who always uses bladders and corks can
never acquiro tbo art of supporting himsell iu
tbe water. Wo tell the Northern people that
tho Bureau is worse than useless, and that
there is no good reason for its contiuuuuo?.

Mr. Edward A. Pollard, not tbe very beat
authority on eituer a question of patriotism cr
one of history, as wo confess, has au article
iu tbe last Galaxy ou tbe Confederate Con-
gress wbioh is worthy of remark. It repre-
sents tbat distinguished bodyjusjnot being a
particularly happy family, as being engaged
in broils and fights, that would have dis-
graced tho Washington convocation and tbe
New York Board of Aldermen. We have no
faith ic anything tbat Mr. Pollard may repre-
sent to be hutory, for he is unfortunately very
economical of the truth. We are not disposed
to believe that Jefferson Davis is tbe weak-
minded uiaa lint Pollard represents him.
There was a great deal of intellectual talent
wasted on tbe Richmond government Thoso
who held the power of the Federal govern-
ment at bay were neither fools nor cowards,
whatever Mr. Pollard may say to that effect.
The fact is that Pollard is a journalistic car-
pet-bagger. If he only knew bow to become
• ttrey radical he would do so in a moment.
Man should know no master save his God;
and the breathing principle of liberty, wbicb
hits outlived the irou rule of power and wrong,
and falls but to rise ogaia, like PbOBuix from
tho unconsuming flame, will, age alter age,
spring from its lair to strike down its oppres-
sor, to burst the shackles upon its limbs, lo
defy death, and to be free!
Tyrants die only by tbe band of violence!
For six thousand years those only have fall-
en by tba hand of a jealous people, resolved
to be froe, who ruled in blood, and trampled
liberty, and wronged virtue, aud oppressed
the weak!
Doers of evil deeds erawl ever into peaoeful
graves to hide from tbe vengeance of tbe
wronged! For eaon life saorifioed on liberty's
altar fall drops of blood from tyrants' hearts!
This is tbe history of the struggle between
liberty and oppreesion.
Turn its pages one by one, and scan them.
No ruler of earth baa fallen by the baud of
violence who has not filled an unwept grave—
wbosa memory is not despised—whose written
life is not a warning to living tyrants.
No righteous ruler has died by tbe hands of
his people!
Hero we find the strongest defense of assas-
sination. It is the last and surest resort of a
people who will be free, who possess tbe
strength-giving power of liberty, and whose
highest justification is the principle tbat
It is better that one man died than that
many sho.ild be slaves! —Brick Pomeroy
With Mr. Pomeroy personally as a journal-
ist we bave no quarrel. He is not a subject
for oar present com i deration. But those peo-
ple in Texas «bo buy and pay for Lis paper
are. I'omeroy is an adventurer. There are
some in Texas like bim, who advise tbe exe-
cution of Davis and the shooting of General
Lee by order of a court martial, if they thought
it would pay. He does advocate the outrago-
oas sentiment printed in the above paragraph
because be believes in it He knows that it
is abominable, but it pays. He knows that
the Soath teems with men who will pay for
saeh reading, and be manafactares it to suit
them. We know that tbe people of Texas
who read Briek Pomeroy's paper will answer
as ana say tbat they do not believe in such
sentiments, tbat they will cot follow and bo
led by them; that Pomeroy prints his paper
in the North, and that the North is responsi-
ble for it; bat we tell them that while thoy
rapport Pomeroy in bis wickedness, they will
be held responsible for doing so. While it is
possible for a news dealer to sell seven huu.
dred of these Infamous sheets, and while the
malls teem with them, just so long will they
be held gniity. Tbe tremendous influence o f
Brink Pomeroy and his LaCrosse Democrat
may bo imagined when we state that no Dem-
orat within one hundred miles of tbat town
has been elected to office.

We bave several tlmee been requested fo
state In brief tbe general features of each oí
tne prinoipal m*g*zin*«. We bsve deferrei
complying with this request until near tho
close of the year, abeu subscriptions are geu-
erally maife, and wben families generally so-
leol those tbat they will read for Iho coming
year. As we write without having made any
special preparation, we may omit some maga-
zines that ought to be spoken of, but wo shall
in the main be able to present such a state-
ment as will enable all to Jeteet the magazines
most suited to their tastes and the wants of
their families
HatPBBs.—This is the most regular of all
magasiues. One number's seldom better or
worse than another. It is illustrated, not very
learned in tone; generally treats on popular
sabjeote. Tbe "Editor's Table" Is a very ex-
cellent summary of politioat events, and the
"Drawer" always has interesting anecdotes.
Ou tbo whole it is an interesting family maga-
zine, containing more of travel and biography
tbau most others.
Thh Galaxt.—This is iulonded for a differ-
ent olas* of readers. It has more of Ihe essay
and less of the narrative iu its composition.
It deals In a liberal way with sooial questions.
One of tbe best of its contributors is Olivo
Logau, whose defence of tbo drama has done
muoh toward o.iusing the publio to correotly
understand tbe various questions connected
with t e stage.
Tint Atlantic —This is tho intellectual
magazine, tbe stately and the dignified.
There is a higher order of talent engaged on
it than on Ihe others, bnt it is less popular.
LipwKooTr'a is the most exquisitely printed
magazine of the day. It is tieat aud pretty
n> a Quaker beauty. In point of intellectual
position it addressee itself to a olass of read-
ers eminently respectable and well educated,
bnt not such as the renders for whom Ihe At-
lantic is designed.
Evcst Satubimt.—This is au eolc-otic mag-
azine, very largo aud fall of selections from
tbe best English magazines. It is printed in
double columns. 11 a man oau buy but one
magazine, and wants an abundance of good
reading, this is the best he can have.
Thb Eclectic—Is more finely preseuted
than Every Saturday, contains less mattcT of
tbe same kind, and is always illustrated by a
fine steel ougraving. '
Tas Catholic Magazine—Contains more
solid reading than any that we have occasion
to look at It is controveríional and learned.
It is an excelleut magazine, but loo weighty
for most readers.
The Old Guard. —a rebellious arrange-
ment, edited by an old abolitionist, and about
equal in point of ability to che L t Crosse Dem-
ocrat.
Putnam's —While the present Putnam is
not quite equal to tbo ol I Putuam, it is one of
Ihe very best of all the magazines, and gene-
rally contains a morn varied selection of arti-
cles than the others. Oa some other ocoasiou
wo shall bave something to say of tho Eng-
lish, juvenile and ladies' magazines.
The Washington correspondent of the
News evidently knows very llitlo of the Liv-

We well remember tbe "hatless prophet"
who cslled pew doors the "devil's toll gates,''
an i so they prove to many, shutting them out •
from tbe servica of the church. The best way
of supporting a church is tbatof tbe Quaker*,
whose officers assess tbe rich according to
their wealth and relieve tbe poor according to
th6ir poverty, none knowing who oontribntes
or who is relieved ; bat this is impracticable.
Tbe next best plan is tbat of a 1 resby terian
Churob in the oity of New Tork, wbieh per-
mite each family to select its pew and assess
its own rent, not to the looation of the pew
but according to the wealth and liberality of
the owner. Thus tbe poor are encouraged
to attend and tbe rich stimulated lo con-
tribute. We presume tbat tbe revenues of a
cLurch collected in this manner will prove
greater than under the ordinary system of
rents. Tbe plan is not nalike tbat of class
money as collected in tbe Methodist Church,
where each member is expected to give
something, but none required to give more
tbau he is inclined to contribute.
Tbe New York Independent takes the Jews
of New York to task because they do so little
for literary and educational matters. We be-
lieve this is true so far us higher education is
concerned ; but with regard to (be general ed-
ucation of the maascs, the Jews are zealous
beyond most other people. Dr. Liliubthal
one of their most distinguished rabbica, is also
a must industrious laborer for public schoolr.
His personal labors, without fee or reward,
entitle him to caDon¡satino.
Mr. Beecher is not always tender of tbe
feelings of bis congregation. A few dajs
since he delivered a sermon in which he cut
right and left into the wickedness of New
York. Among those that he assaulted wero
some of tho clergy whom ha said are "sup-
posed to be tbe mouth piece of God, yet they
grow fat in the service of tbo devil by keeping
silent when they abonld lift up their voices
and expose the wickedness of corrupt men in
high places."
It Some weeks since we bad occasion to cop7,
though ir what particular connection, has
passed f.om onr memory, a statement from
the London Jewish Obroniole th >t " no Jew
not the inmate of a lanatio asylum, or a refu-
gee from idiots, can suppose that a man born,
reared and educated as a Jew ean possibly,
from conviotion, become a Christian." We
have bad lying on oar table for some days a
copy of the Catholio Messenger, ja which
there U a letter from a Jew who has become a
Catholic, the object of wbioh is to controvert
this statement. We abonld like to re publish
tbe lotter, but eannot for tbe reasons, we have
not the room without bestowing more than its
due share of spaoe to the «abject, nor d9 "•
believe that tbe assertion is worth the trouble
given to oontradiet It is one of those absurd
questions which aro not worth the trouble of
repeating.
The Cburoh Union has n correspondent
who is the very esseuce of gallantry. He ar-
gues that man is inferior to woman from the
fuct Ibat Cod, in ths order ol creation, began
with inferiors and ended with *uperiors; Ihe
last created to rule ,¿be crenturo immediately
preceding it. He further affirms that all tho
inharmony in the universe of mind is oaused
by man getting out of his spBere, and at-
tempting to diotate law to woman, a creature
above his comprehension morally, intellectu-
ally and socially.
A man who ean be so gallant and is so will-
ing to play second fiddle in the osobertra of
life ought surely to be a favsrite with the la-
dies. _

At Philadelphia Horace Binney called on
General Grant. As Mr. Binney has long re-
tired from publio life, it may not be known
that he is the ablebt lawyer in America— t
least Lord Brougham made this remark:
" Mr. Binney is one of the only two great
living common law lawyers." Mr. Binney is
88 years old, and wrote a short time since a
very able politioal argument in favor of the
election of Grant. Ho was tho leader of the
opposition in Congress to General Jaokson.
Ono cause of his being but little known by
the present generation is, that he retired from
aotive life before a great many of us were
born; and anothor that a great portion of his
legal lite was spent ih two groat cases, that of
the old United Stales bank, and that of the
hiirs of Stophen Girard against tho city of
Philadelphia.
Geu. Grant's driving ubout New Yolk with
Bouner, and bis fast horses, is not considered
exactly the thing. Some one said, "what
would bo thought of en. Washington driving
with Bonnor behind Dexter, making 2:40 a
mile.—Oalvesi'/n Netcs.
You are slightly unfortunate in your allusion
to Washington. Horses were bis bobby as
they are Grant's. It is said tbat Washington
was prolano on two occasions, the first when
he lost the battle of Gormantown by pausing-
to storm Chew's bouse in accordance with tho
advice of Gen. Know; the other ocoasion was
when a reckless young man injured a favorite
filly by overriding.
Perhaps the News may be surprised to know
that Gen. Washington was so foppish about
his horses that be had the hoofs of his white
team blacked and polished with more care
than most gentlemen bestow on tbeir boots.
Allusion to Gen. Washington's superiority to
Grant's weakness for horse flesh is a little un-
fortunate. .
The Charleston (S. 0.) Daily News, of No-

try and frugality may do.
Letter from Aistln.
Austin, Nov. 21th, 1809.
My trip from Waco to this oity has been one
of the most pleasant it has ever bean my
pleasure to expuieuoe ; the fact is, that I bo-
bcilievo tbo aectioa of country consisting of
Urazos, Robertson, Falls, McLennan, Bell,
Williamson and Travis, and conuties lying
betwccu them, is tbe gardeu spot of Texas.
Here is the section to which to direct emigra-
tion, thousands of acres of rieh prairie and
buttou lands await the advent of tho plough
and axe, then and thero to remunerate their
Ubors with n bountiful return of the various
products of agiionlture to which tho soil of
Texas providentially diversified us it is, is no
admrably adapted. Tbo climate Uh-ttltytiu
every sense; nouo of thoso loathsome dis-
eases, so pruvaleut in tbe lower countics,
such as chills and favor, exist hero, but, oa
tbo contrary, everything living present u
glowing pioturoof health and vi(;or.
On tho day of arrival in Belton military
coinaiisxiiiu bad just adjourned, it was con-
vened for a tiltil of a man named Claik, for
tbe murder of two negroes, both witbin a few
minntes of each other, and in ci'ld blood, Tbo
murderer, ou tbe oocasionot eorouer's inqnent
sut on his horse, a short distance from the
assembly, laughing ¡n derision. He had previ-
ously defied the officers of tbe law of that coun-
ty, and on one oooasion thre tened to blow
cut the brains of tho Sheriff if he would dare
assure him that a warrant was extant for
his arrest. He is also said to be ono of tbo
notorious Qa^ntrfU'a band. The evidence, as
far as I have learned, is very oonolusive
against, aud thero exists no doubt but that bo
will meet bis just deserts. It was with much
difficulty tbat the criminal obtained a lawyer
to defend bim before the commission. At
length, however, he secured the services of
Mr. Fauntleroy, a lawyer of that county,
but not until a bonus had been paid.
My stay in Belton was rendered very pleasant
indeed in the camp of oompany A,
17th U. S. Infantry, ¡stationed at that post,
and commauded by 0 iptain Geo. A. Lancas-
ter, assisted by Lieutenaut Troxel. These
officers exerted themselves hugely in provid-
ing for my camfort, especially Lieutenant
Troxel, who introduced me very oereoionious-
ly to a keg of lager beer. (I shall not forget
that keg soon.) In my judgment, aud I think
"we are some judge" of auch things, baviug
soldiered somo little timo, I think Captain
Liuaakter is entitled to tbo duili-«nn. T I

WA8HISQTON, Nov. 28ih The Herald pub-
lishes tbe following special:
"Iu conversation a lew days ago Gen. Grant
expressed bis impression that the result of
the late election bad quiotod down the state
of feeliug throughout tno country, had pro-
duced a condition of contented acquieseuce in
the will of tbe majority, and tbat an improved
tone in ihe<polltical life will soon be mad*
manifest When he made use of the expres-
sion "let us have peace", be sinoerely meaut
it, and he apprehended no trouble iu any sec-
tion of tho oinntry under bis administration,
while al the same time tbe rights of ull classes
and of all communities shall be protected. Re-
ferring to the fourteenth amondmeut, bo mid,
Kentucky aud Maryfaud would suffer a lost of
representation after the next oensas if they re-
fuse to allow negroes the suffrage, in uccard-
nuce wilh tint provisions ol tbat agreement. It
will bo u bi'ter pill to tbura, oustrvcl the
General, laughing, bat thoy will have to tako
it."

Sean'a report doe* not appear iti the copy at

"Ot this siripe were sumo of tho members of
the Uupiiblioaii campaign committee in con-
Nuitution at my headquarters, at which Dr.
Soutliworth, n controlling member of that
committee, took part, ut which consultation 1
m.isoif was not present, but ouo of my stuff
officers win. It ivas contended by h.iuib of
tue Republicans that tho negrees should be
a I vised not to go to tho pulls, tli3 idea being
that it' they did go tbey would be slaughtered.
Southwortli replied tbat bis committee would
advise ihu negroes to vote, adding, "Let them
b) slaughtered; tUo moro thero are killed the
better it will be for our party." This spirit, I
urn sorry to Ruy, but ton often controls the
ujtion mid conduct of many wuo asaumo to
uct iu tho name and for the iuterest of tlie
government of tho United States, and who
u^e the cloak of loyally ns a cover for their
mi-deeds. I have lound that men of this
description, though willing to sao the blood
ol others shed ut n distance, couoon! them-
selves with marvelous alacrity and skill at the
approach of any real or fancied danger.—
Süiithworth, who wanted the negroes slaugh-
tered ut tho polls, is ,i hbiuiug example of this
kind, and was actually in hiding at my head-
quarters a'the timo ho mndo the remarks I
have quoted."

Stoneman, it is understood, opposes a farther
extension, and advises tbat all who oan't pay
