tST We would suggest to the citizens of
Goliad, the propriety of organizing a regu
lar 'pajfrol for the to^ti and surrounding
neighborhood. The late developments ou
the Colorado, would seem to justify such a
course. Negroes should not be permitted
at this time, to loiter abotit after dark, or to
travel from one place to auother, without
written authority from their masters. Such
a stop may arrest muok trouble, and lead to
the capture of exdited fugitive slaves, who

himself reflected in a ip'Tor opposite. He
was near enough to observe that the face
looked familiar to him—aud so,, thinking
that the person might be a blood relative
from that section of the'eountry, he inquir-
ed with the blandest expression he could as-

"Is your name Brown?"
No response of course, and he repeated
the question in a louder key:
" Is your name Brown!"
Still no answer, and our maudlin firiejicl,;
