Jeff. Davis, J. H. Beagen,
Col. Lubbock and other prominent

Trevinville in Georgia. The arrest

Who are considered subject to arrest

seem, are better at procuring supplies
than in issuing them.
CJownior lias issued a
j>rod;iinatioti fur the Legislature to
convene in Extraordinary session
on tlie 6th day of July next. He
luis altso issued an order for delegates
t.-i bo elected to n Convention to be
held some time in July. Whether
the Federate will recognize either
the Governor, the Convention or
the Legislature is a question not
* yet satisfactory to our mind.
We hear many rumors in reference

iy The foall has ceased to ran
on the route from Richmond to
Brenham. We hope, in a few days,
we may have a private mail estab-
lished between this place and Hemp
stead. We presume the Legislature
will ^ay the necessary expenses for
such a mail route. Until further
notice we hope thé Post Master at
Hempstead will retain in his office,
all mail matter intended for Bellville
and that the Post Masters at Bren
bain and other points will forward
such matter jo this place, via Hemp-
stead.
Galveston, May 26th, 1866.
I condense the following from
Flake's Bulletin:
Yesterday our peace commissioners
were sent to the blockading fleet;
they reached the fleet at 6 p. m. and
wt re forwarded to New Orleans by
the gunboat Antona, at 6 p. m.
Major Von Harten accompanied
them to the fleet. From him we
learn that our commissioners were
well received, that the blockade
expressed the ardent hope that our
commissioners would succeed in their
efforts to obtain terms of peace, and,
further, that no attack on this Island
will be made while negotiations are
pending. We are also indebted to
the Maj. for a N. 0. Times of May
SOth, containing the following news:
Gueriljus have subsided along the
Telegraph from Macon to Richmond,
and the line ia allowed to work.
Jeff. Davis is going to Fort Lafa-
yette. Among those captured with-
the Davis party was the mother of
Jeff. Davis, and a son of Breckin-
ridge.
Gen. Beauregard and staff are at
Mobile and going to New Orleans.
Gen. Hood and staff crossed the
issisSippi at Tuuica Bend, on the
7th inst. being hard pressed, he jeft
behind at Simsport his baggage. &c.
Testimony accumulates that Presi-
dent Johnson was laboring 'tinder
the influence of deadly poison on
bis inauguration day.
Gov. Vauce is not allowed to
--me his position as Governor
North Cnroliun. .
Gtn. Schofield has proclaimed
slaves in North Carolina free.

Look Up.—Here is a good moral
under Ule guise of a fable; "A
young man once picked up a sover-
eign in the road. Ever afterwords
as he walked along, he kept hil eyes
steadily fixed on the ground, in
hopes of finding another. Ana In
the course of a long life he did pick
up, at different times a goodly num-
ber of,coins, gold and. silver. But
all these years, while he was look
ing for them, be saw not that thé
heavens were bright above him, anc
nature beautiful around. He never
oncé allowed his eyes to look up
from the mud and filth in whicl) he
ought the treasurej and when he
ied, a rich old man, he only knew
this fair earth of ours as a dirty road
in which to pick up money as you
walk along."

ELECTION NOTICE.
A New Fibe Extinguisher
An apothecary at Nantes has just
discovered by the merest accident
that ammonia will put out fiies. He
happened to have about seventy
litreB of Benzoine in his cellar, and
his boy, in going down carelessly
with a light, had set fire to it. As-
sistance was speedily at . hand, and
pail after pail of water was being
Sonred into the cellar without. pro:
uclng any effect,'when the apoth-
ecary himself took np a pail which
was standing neglected in a corner,
and emptied the contents iuto the
cellar. To his astonishment ' the
flames were Quenched as if by magic
and upon examination he found tlpt
the pail, which belonged' to his
laboratory, bad contained a quantity
of liquid ammonia. The result is
easy to explain on scientific princi-
ples; for ammonia, which consists of
82 parts of nitrogen and 18 of hy-
drogen, is easily decomposed by
heat; and the nitrogen thus set free
in the midst of a conflagration must
infallibly put out the flames. A
large supply of liquid ammonia
properly administered would be the
promptest fire-extinguisher ever im-
agined.—Galignani
The monument just erected at
Brussels in memory of Counts Eg

A friend of mine in Portland Place,
says the poet Rogers, has a wife who
inflicts upon him every Season two
or three immense evening parties.
At one of these parties lie was stand-
ing in a vcrp forlorn condition, lean
ing against the chimney piece, when
a gentleman coming np to him said,
"Sir, as neither of us is acquainted
with any of the people here, Í think
we had .better go home."
What an Educated Man ought
to Know.-—Raskin says: An ed
ucated manoughtto know three
things; Firot, where he is, that is
to say, what sort of a world he has
got into t bow large it is; what kind
of creatures live In it, and how ;
what it is made of, and what may be
made of it. Secondly, where he is
going, that Is to say, what chances
or reports there are of any other
worla besides this; what seems to
be thi nature of that other world.
Thirdly, what be had beet do under
the cireumstances, that fa to say,

President Johnson's Idea
be that the Union is ;p
it was not dissolved by
of the States foitning ¡I
racy j that those States have
sort of fainting fit, "having tem-
porarily ceMed to fulfill their fano*
tloris as parts of one whole," an<
that the war is simply a sort
"sharjb profetice" for their restoration
to sound politick health. This faint
ing theory is one of the feints
power. The right of the State to
secede is as clear as a sunbeam j the
practical question, however, is, wheth
er the might of the Others will fine
it convenient to let her do It. Of
course, it must work inconvenience
to them, but not more, certainly,
than to herself. Be that as it^may,
we havn an abidiug confidence that
the anti-coerdon doctrine Is the only
one upon Which a Union of States
can be maintained. The moral force
necessary to such a compact would
be generated by' its adoption and
the interplay of relations between
the States and the General Govern-
ment, on this basis, would, in otir
opinion, be of the most beautUbl
and healthful Republicanism Is to
exist, and that it will exist and be
universally diffused,. we have an
abiding confidence.
The Nqsth got into the coercion
theory gradully. Some may think
that her military suéfeesseS under Ú
will make it the final and universal
doctrine. We do not so' believe.
Our faith has been, and Is, that tbe
Republican practice is progressing
towards a fall acknowledgment o!
the right of secession, as the only
ground upon which republics may be
made perpetual. Force will not do,
finally, whatever may seem to be its
triumph for a time; We see no
other way than that marked out in
the Confederate Constitution ,to
prevent classes of States from com-
bining against classes of States,
each struggling to gain1 tbe control
of the General Government as an
organ for the opprécsion of tVe other.
The contrary course—that of con
sidering the Union peroetual, and of
trying to remove by force "the ap-
parent causes of conflict, as the
North is now endeavoring to do with
regard to slavery, appears to ns to be
a policy which can only repeat itself
in the Bame bloody form forever.
Military disasters do not , change
principles. Might makes right in
án accommodated sense, but lhere is
a .higher sense In which right, if,
trjie to itself, . must make might.
The Southern doctrines of politics
have given the North bér power In
this conflict, and no issue of tbe war
can put these doctrines to death.
Whatever may have been our re-
verses, and their suqceBse^ there
has been no political gain on their
part, and no political loss Qn ours.
Compare the messages ot Presidents
Lincoln and Davis: qompare tbe
United States and tbe Confederate
Constitutions; compare Calhoun's
Views of Republicanism with anv-
thing which has been written on tne
subject at the North, and tbe eon.
