ttf A destructive fire oceured At Gal-

valuable buildings were consumed and
I several others seriously damaged. The

The Alamo Express publislied at
San Antonio a traitorous sheet spoke in

of tin; conflagration whether casual or

held to strict accountability. It in high
time that the world should know that

seems that Capt Harrison had recently
taken a tour through the Northern eotin*
ties along Kcd Kivtr and theure to San
Antonio. He represents that the settlers
in Northern Texas from Indiana Ohio
Iowa and other free States who it seems
were sent by emigrant aid societies t >
sM it ionise that region were rapidly
leaving. The editor says :
In traveling from North Fork Creek
Nation to Iter! River ('apt Harrison
met one hundred and twenty wagons
with emigrants from Texas to the Free
States and was told there wan more than
these on the Southern route. Disguising
himself he mixed with them a good deal
and learned the object of their settling
in Texan are! why they were leaving it
now and a most huppy riddance the
State is having of them ('apt Harrison

Mk. Editor :
In a conversation with some half doz
en cotton planters a lew days ago I
asked each cmo of t!iem " how much of
their present growing crop of cotton
they would lend iho (iovernmeut of the
Confederate 'Stales for the purpose ol
prosccutin^ the present VVar lor the en-
tilling year ! " To which they replied
" tfcey would give—or lend from one
fourth to one tilth of wlml. they made
and take the Houds of the tJovcrninent at
par for the same. " The largest Merch
iiut in our city stepyed up about this time
- and the question w;in asked him ' how
much will you take ? " l!< replied > will
take 20 pr i t of all my collections this
winter and next spring." These answers
are hut i rt Ilex of public sentiment in
tlie South and a determination oi tin
people to aid the tiovernment with their
mean* tu pronecutc this unnatural war
with vigor. and bring it to a favorabh
t e i tu in a t if mi .
I feel ci»nvin <d that the Mock gram
and sugar producer ax well as all oth< i
remunei ating • •• -in m«* i e < a I mercaukil< .
and professional. pursuits il pr<>|»€»rl"v >*i|>
pmachcd would invest /•" rat'i to their
respective incomes. There is not a d • uI t
in my mind about the ability and w ill
ingucss of the people t<» do tins i*111»<»»11\
qilc*tion is how il shall I • induced to a. t
in concert; and how the niggardly Land
negro or money holders can he induced
to advance pun pats it with the producers
of the soil in the sustenance of the (iov-
ernment '! These are only questions
which need discussion to produce unity
of sentiment in the South—and produce
annually a sum of noney equal to the
whole revenues ot the old I'nited States
before its dissolution and to arm equip
and keep in the field £00000 men il ncc-
essary. With this view I would ask yon
l>y request of a number of Planters to
call a Mass Meeting <>f tiie citizens of

The manifest proofs of the divine bles-
sing hitherto extended to the efforts of tin-
people of the Confederate Stales of

After the Texas left the tiuarrls oe-

that of lo# wale. for refusing to take

panned resolutions condemning the boat
and requesting their friends behind to
withhold their patronage from Iter in

gers that night to New Orleans with
their muster roll one to go by V icksbnrg
the other to go on the Texas. Hut when
they reached Shrevcport they found that
it was the intention of the Texas to take
