I'ST'The weather has been eice-jeiTcly
liot during tho past week. We hear that
the thermometer has ranged oTerlOO on the
prairie. How high the mercury has gone
in town wo have not heird but we .ft that
it has reached a little too high for comfort.
Oh for a good soaking rain and a norther

Hen. J. W. Throckmorton and Col. L. M.
Martin of Collin county passed through
this place on Monday lad ft rcutt from
Austin home.
JI"U. J. C. McCoy of this place returned
home on Monday last from Austin where
ho had bean for the past few weeks repre-
senting the interests of this county at the
capital. Ho informs us that there was a
largo number of people at Austin from all
parts of tho State; and that tho prevailing
sentiment aud wish of all which is cordial-
ly reciprocated by the Governor and his
counsellors was to .place the State in a
condition to reorganize civil government
with as little delay as possible.
Col. MeCny ttfvUght with him the Com-
missions for all .our county officers with
the exception .of Justices of the several
precincts. One Justice was appointed for
each Trecinct and two Sotarys Tublic for
th county. Tna Commissions for these of-
ficers will soon be issued and forwarded.
IcbU is tha general opinion at Austin
that the State taxes will be assessed and
collecttd under the law in force in 1661
that being the latitat lair on the suljcct that
can be acted on and it being absolutely ne-
cessary in order to sustain th rrevisiunal
government that sums tax liuid be levied
and collected. As soon as a Comptroller is
appointed whioh will be very soon be will
issue the necessary instructions la th coun-
ty Assessors and Collectors Wa look for
jye instructions at an early day.

the rtutc Government. On tho other hand
should wc not take this oath we can havo
none of these rights and we have no assur-
ance I hut wo may not be prosecuted t.S
treason. We sincerely le'.iovj that it is
tho duty of every well-wisher of the Stale
to take tho oath at once nnd thus pluco
tlua.sclv:cj in a pasiticn titaVe part in the
rceonstjruc-tiwi of the tttafe goverament.
JCS'It will be seen from a paragraph
from tho Austin Gazette that Governor
Hamilton ban appointod tho Hon. James H.
Hell Secretary of Stato. Wo learn this
with great satisfaction and consider tho
appointment a happy omen as to tho course
the (iuvornnr intends to pursue in reorgan-
izing the State Government. We arequito
:uio no appointment could havo been made
by the Governor moro acceptable to the pco-
pie. Wc feel truly gratified that the Gov-
ernor mmlu the offer and that Judge V-x-W
accepted the position. ' U will be apprecia
ted by tho people. Every one who. knows
Judge Bell will opprc.-iu.to the fact that he
has accepted this poaiti&n purely with a
view to render Governor Hamilton a l tho
aid in his power towards reorganizing the
Htate Government at the earliest practicable
morucat.
Jtjj-We aro informed that Gov. lluini'ton
proposes tu is:uo an address soon to the
people of the Stato making known what
persons will be authorized to administer
the amnesty oath in each county and giv-
ing general directions in regard to this
matter and other things which may bo no-
co3ury. The people willduuhtlesjhomuch
gratified to learn that tho Governor has
thus earnestly set about tho work of restor-
ation aud that ho intends at an early day
to gi: them an opportunity to testify their
desiro to be restored to their rights and
privileges as uitizens of the United States
as well as to show their earnest wish tu
Bupport tho government.
Wo hear that th Governor has given the
ussuranr.o that nothing shall bo wanting on
his part to place the peojlo iu a condition
to reorganize the Stats government at the
earliest possible period; and that so soon
ss a majority of the peoplo havo taken the
amnesty oath lis will ordor an eloction for
members to a State Convention.
This is as it should be aud we doubt not
the Governor's offurts will he readily se-
conded by the poople. We fcsl (hat we will
soon bo under tho protection at the law
and that the energies of the people will re-
vive and honest industry receire its just
reward.
ItgrGcn. Throckmorton informs us that
this Stato has Lean divided into four Inter
nal Revenue Districts. Appointments of ' err. Judge Baldwin comes as District .t-
Asaeesors and Collectors have been made in i tornay fur the Eastern District of Texas
three of the Districts but we- ould not J not learn whetber any appointment
. ' . . ' has yet been made for the W esurn District
learn the names of the appointee. In thi or lietjcr both iBtrict may Dot be includ-
which is Ihe 2nd District no appointment
had been made. The 3d Diatriot comprise
th counties of Cooke Denton Tarrant

north of a line running west from Hays. -Th
2d District comprises Grayson Collin

Sr-Cil. Almarino M Alexander re.
cently tif Sherman Grayson County died
ery suddeuly at New Orleen? seceatly.
The Correiipondant of the 3ii!graph says
that bis fnacr-vl wad. attended by a long
processioa it Tcxians and friends residing
in New Oilcans.
Wo oio informed that since the 1st. of
January last two brothers and father of
Col. Alexander havo died all at different
places C. C. Alexander died early ia jn
nary at Tyler in this State; bis father and
a younger brother we learn died in Ken-
tucky recently and now Col. A M. Al-
exander has die'ifa New Orleans.
Tho McHsrs. Alexander have hea very
extensive merchants in various towns in
.Northern Texas for the last fifteon years
aad we presume leave a heavy business un-
settled. Some 14- ycora ago they vsorc
the lai gest merohanta in this place. Thy
subsequently established themselves at
Sherman and Iionhatn at whioh daces
they built the finest and most coinplcto
business houses that can be found in North-
ern Texas. They wcro energetio persever-
ing nnd most thorough business njen.
fc" A fatal rencontre took place in this
lower part of this comity near Lancaster
on Monday last in which Mr. H. F. C.
Johnson of I'leasnnt itun and a Capt.
Coffee of Collin County were killed. The
affair we arc informed grew out of some
misunderstanding in relation to a horse
tho particulars of whioh we have not thor-
oughly learned.
Se3 We leftra from Iho Galvoton papers
thut Ir Peebles tho Collector of the port
of Galveston arrived in that City on th
Sth iunt. The Civilian says that Mr. T. A.
Burk Deputy Collector also arrived with
Pr. Tcehlcs aud adds :
"Mr. Murk informs as that he has brought
with him a cargo of experts and that he is
now ready to examine into the condition of
matters here. As soon as he can make
the necessary arrangements the Custom-
house will be opened and due notice given
to tlo puUio."
Tho correspondent of the News howvr
says:
"I learn that a duputy collector oame
over with Dr. I'oeblea and from that gen-
tleman I learn that this port cannot be op-
ened to trade until instructions shall bo re-
ceived from Washington. When that will
be seems quite uncertain. It was expected
that our port would be opened immediately
upon the arrival of the collector or a depu-
ty but it seems we were mistaken. Many
of our merchants are suffering seriously
from this delay but the people of Texas
generally are suffering quite as much.
Nearly all tho inconvouieces of a continu
ed blockade ar experienced. I am how- j
ever assured tbat it cannot bo long ocioro
the office of tho collector will he fully open-
ed when all vessels can enter and clear
without delay. Dr. Techles is in a very
low state of health indeed nor is there any
probability that be will bo able to attend to
any public duties."
The same correspondent cays:
"I see PraoVcnridge is announced as spe-
cial Treasury Agent for this Stale and as
Colonel Sherburne who arrived yesterday
comes also as Special Agent of the Treasu-
ry I'epartment for the District of Texas I
am at a ir.se as to wnicn is tne superior om
ed in one. We hare not a word of intlli-
genie antut any postal or mail arrange-
ments for this State. We have no informa-
tion that any Mail Agent ha yet beep ap-

bably suffering more from the want of
mails than from any other cause f learn
that there is a large letter mail in New Or

The News speaking of tHwent apecc
of Gov. Hamilton in Iluustotn says:
"The speech cscupied over two. hjws iu
its delivery and of course this report is
merely the substanc of the Governor's re-
9irks with occasionally however the pre-
cise words and expressions used on that oc-
casion. It lacks besides Ihe spirit and tone
of the distinguished speaker and the ef-
fect produced on the different orders of
hearers can better be imagined than de-
scribed." We clip tho following additional items
from the News of thePth;
In our last wo copied from Fluke's Hullo-
tio an article to the effect that the Milita-
sy Board at Austin had collected three
million dollars' worth of State property
which they had never accounted for by re
port or otherwise Ono of tho members of
that Hoard says in reply:
"The 'good authority' who represents thut
the Military Uoavd had received from the
iJtate. three ra'cllions of dollars worth of
property bonds &c had ho chosen to in-
form himself hy examining tho books of
th Hoard would hare found that ho has
made two error. In tbo first place the
Board never received anything like tho
amount represented and secondly that the
Hoard has accounted for every dollar thot
ever was received from tho State.
"It is well known what becamo of tl
property. That tho store houses were tris-
ken into at tho time the Confederate troops
were disbanded and the f rvijerty taken by
thorn oni the citizens."
Wo regret to learn of a homicide in
Walker county a few days ago iu which n
Mr. IUck. Williams killed a man named
Goodrich who had threatened his lifts for
act committed in the reign of tho Confcd
cracy. A party oi national soiaiers went
to arrest Williams aftor dark and as wo
understand it he took them for lynchers
friends of Goodrich nnd fired upon and
killed one of the soldiers. Tho officer called
out that they wero Federal soldiers on
which Williams immediately surrendered.
Ho was brought down here and is now
awaiting his trial. Let us hope even-handed
justice may ho done in the peculiar cir-
cumstances i'i which the cafe is lapped.
Mr. Williams has the reputation of being
one of the best me and citizen" in Walktr
County.
A portion of the 1st regiment of Texas
Cavalry in the scrviccof the CnilelStateB
arrived in town yesterday and we noticed
that the German and Mexican elements
largely predominated in its cotnpoiitiuu.
They were well armed with the Spencer
seven-shooting Carbine and could doubt-
less do good service on our Indian frontier.

Tho prospect of telegraphic communi.

bright and brightening. The poles are al-
ready up along tho wholo route aud the

to put it up. It is thought that Ihe work
will be finished within a month or forty

things to be done aa condition precedent

the provision ef Gov. HamilUn' procla-

good faith towards the general government
that the confidence so much shaken by the

For more than twenty I hav labor-
ed to construct a machine which ulionld on.
able man to. use like a bird the attnospherl
io region as the medium of his travels-
First trying emperical experiments with-
out a guiding idea I soon satisfied myself
that tho moans heretofore used were hupo-
less. I left this barren field and took up
tho way which hud been so successfully
followed in modern times by natural
science. I stud ied Ihe (light of birds ex-
amined lulu Iho mochaiiical la: govern-
ing theao wonderful structures and observ-
ed Ihe various peculiarities of Ihe air and
so in the year lH'ilt I was at last able to
construct a machine which requiring com-
parilively little power imitates the flight
of birds inasmuch as it makes use of Iho
same peculiarities of the air and moves
with the same celerity in every direction
: with the wind and against it not rcsemb-
I ling however in form a bird butboing con-
I structed like a ship which hat caused me
' to call it "Aui-SyiP."
A srall model constructed iu lh.it year
proved by successful! oxperiiaents tbo'cor-
I rectness of my principles; later expori-
I ments with some improvements in tho
! model resulted still more favorably.
The blockade and the stato of the coun-
try during tha. war prevented mo from
! progressing in my inveuticn and from op-
I eniug a new era in intercommunaticu by
a larger ship arranged for piactUal pur-
1 poses but nov I hold it to be my duty af-
ter those impediment do no longer exist to
! fulloyi wjthuut hesitation the path shown
j we by rrcvidenco and the spirit of pro-
grefii. '1'lie CvR3tru;tivp of a large Air-Ship re-
i quirea more means than I poaeds but thia
I suroly should not be an insupportable diffi-
culty. Should I not be justified to call up
on Ibe aid of my fellow-men who will bo
all directly or indirectly benefitted by the
result of my invention I
I have therefore concluded to collect
subscriptions in order to build under the
protection of a U. S. caveat a large air-
ship and then to take out n patent. Thcso
subscriptions I ahall not ask us donations
but as shares lo be refunded together with
a part of the proceeds of the sale of the
patent right. or the salo of air-fhips as
tho caac may be. I havo put tho price p.f
one share nt live dollars. Kvery sharehol-
der will recoive a certificate securing to
him a proportionate interest in the pro-
ceeds of the enterprise.
I will give a few ideas indicating gene-
rally the character of the air-ship aad
what it will be aUe. to accomplish.
Tho Air-Ship consists of three main
parts?
I. Tho lower suspended portion formed
like a Bhip with very short prow to cut tho
air; it serves to bold tho icronunt as also
the power producing engine w ith all thu
atesring apparatus. This portion is shut j
up all around to prevent the rapid motion
from affecting tho breathing of tha man
within Iu this as low as possible lies t
the centr cf gravity nf tho whole strtic-1
tuie so. ss to steudy the motion. At tlio I
hack ond cf the ship there is a propeller j
screw which will make it possible to navi- J
gate the water in case that by any aeei- j
dent tho n ronaut should have to decern!
while be is above water. Iu this case tke
ship can be detached from tho flying appa-
ratus. 2. The uper portion or flying apparat-
us which makes use uf the resistance of
the air consists of a system of wings part-
ly movable partly immovable presenting
the appearanco of herizontafl suils but hav-
irrg functions entirely different from the
sails of vessels.
3. Tho portion producing tho forward
motion cor.niatg. either of two screws which
can to revobcl with equal cr Unequal mo-
t:on so as to serve tho purpose of lateral
steering or of wings of a peculiar con-
struction. The preference to ho given tu
ono or tho other depends on tho nature of
the motive power. Another apparatus
regtilutcs the ascending motion.
Tho material is tq selected as to combino
the groatest etrength with the least weight.
When the air-ship is in motion the
turonaut has in each hand a crank one to
guide tho ascending and descending mo-
tion the cither tho lateral steerage. Imme-
diately before him is the compass w hilo a
barometer with a scale Hindu f-r tho pur-
pose shows hiin the approximate height.
Another apparatus similar to the ball reg-
ulator of a steam engine shows him tho
velocity as well as tho distance passed
over.
It is eclf-cvidcnl that tho speed of the
air-ship depends upon the motive power
and on Ibe direction and farce of the winds;
according lo my experiments ftud calcula-
tions it will bo froia SO to 100 miles per
fcfiur. Gal. A"ii.

We have no very late dales froni Browns-
ville and Matamoros our dates from
Rancho Ilavis ar up to the 20lh ult. All
was quiet at that point. Tho place was
properly garriscned by I'nited States troops.
A force of some three hundred white troops
wore sent away ii the 21th. Our inform-
ant supposed that these troop were to be
mustered out of service as their term of
enlistment had expired. Noarly all the
troops left were colored troops. Mr. Bev.
