ceasion was agitated, Judge Davis opposed it,
hut the State was said to have been carried out of
the Union, The result of the election he much
regretted. Judge Davis remained with his family

Texas possesses some of the finest water power
in the world. When the railroads are built be-
tween eastern and western Texas, and mills are
constructed in some of the eastern counties, there
Will be no scarcity of timber for building purposes.
Our wheat matures much earlier than that of the
great north-west, * sq when we have the mills to
grind it and tho railroads to transport it, it can be
brought into the market some months ahead of
that of all the north and west. We need popula-
tion, and we know that there are thousands who
-will improve their Condition by coining to Texas.
We would like to see a heavy tide of immigration
pour into our" great State, and to see Texas take
rank us one' of, (if not the) foremost States in our
glorious Union.

that the .Governor, «^pointed Capt. Thos. Chubb'

for (he City of Galveston:
At the regular monthly moeting of Washington
Fire Engine Compauy, No. 1, held on Tuesday
evening, Sept. 6th, 1805, the following resolution
were unanimously adopted: >T .
Re soloed, That Washington Fire Engine, No. 1,
hor canias0 bo e, etc., bo turned over to the Cor-
poratioh of the city of Galveston, for ingratitude
received at the hands of .the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen of said city. The company consider,
ing that their services are no longer appreciated
A. munn, Assistant Foreman.
J. J. Jenny, Secretary.
This company, we believe,is the only one exist-
ing In Galveston, which has a perfect organisa-
tion- We regret that they have disbanded. In
justice to the Mayor, we must say that we belieye,
and in fact, that we know, (¡hat lie is a warm
friend of the firemen,,but in all his actipus he' is
controlled by the City Council.
J535f*0ur friend Judge Caldwell is onafeh#rt
visit to Galveston. His appointment as Judge ot
this Judicial District' is a mOst'excelleni one, and Ho
doubt will give general satisfaction.

—There we no arrests made on Tuesday night,
bjr the City Police. '
Capt. Diercks reports everything as having been
quiet during the night. This is something unus^
ual and speaks well for the city.
— We have noticed of late, numbers of Freed-
,men, woman, and phildren, wending their way to
a certain point, with spelling books, slates, and
other articles used in the pursuit of knowledge and
science. Upon inquiring, we were informed, that
Mr. Phillips had opened a school at the Methodist
Church, tor the benefit of the colored population.
The sphool is supported by the negroe.-:, each one
who sends a chilct paying a certain sum monthly.
We are also informed, that there exists a great de-
sire on the part of the blacks to learn to rea,d anfl
write, and that many of both sexes, who are ad-
vanced in years, aró commencing their A B C.
— We are informed that ex-Colonol Gillespie,
of the C. S. A., and present editor of the Houston
Telegraph, is now being tried on charge of cruelty
to Union prisoners .at Camp <^rocp. That there
was unnecessary severity used there; is well known,
How far the Colopel may have bee the cause, is
not known. This will be ascertained during the
investigation:
