A colony of Poles are being settied upon the iands east of the Trinity, in the region near Palestine.

The after which the s: agent acquiesced, again, in very coafi- dential tones, inquired ifa guard conld no: be | obtained to escort him up the street!” The editor of the Newbern (North Oaro- lina) Times has just returned from a trip — the ee South Carolina, Georgia a a Alabama. He witnessed | portion i abundant evidences of the general disposition much land as could be to cultivate fully as "rhe only fear is in regard to put into the instabdilit men. There were some complaints of the un- fsithfalmess of the latter, but itis hoped that | matted snicide by hanging himself to the top of of the contracts with the freed- | these would be less frequent. The scarcity of | morey was measurably supplied by the issue of small bills on the part of cities and corpora. tions. The Charleston Courier is gratified to ob- serve indications of the repuilding of the burnt district in that city. Governor Browniow has issued an order for the election of twenty Representatives to the State Legistature, to fill the vacancies oc- casioned by recent resignations. . The Charleston papers mention the cleoring Jast week from bonee Spr ofa vessel for Liver- pool with a cargo bales Sea Island and 2,912 bales Upiand cot- ton, 1,272,455 pounds, and valued at the heavy sum of $607,581,53.

The Charleston South Carolinian states that on the 23d ult. three thieves were found dead bebind the counter of a druggist, in King street, —— city It seems thai poison had been pot in some food and placed in a convenient Rpetsam which the robbers had eaten and ea. A letter from Major Corwyn, late of Sheri- dan's army, to Archbishop Purcell, published im the Catholic Telegraph, tixes the responsi- bility of the burning ot Colum’ S. C., apon Wace Hampton, who was foolish enonzh to fill the streets with loose cotton,and refuse to | surrender. Sir. G. H. Hammond,a teacher of the freed- men in Virginia, 1s reported to have been as- sauited by armed ruffians, ducked several times in the Shensadoth, and threatened with death unless he left the place within three days. He was sent out by the American Mis- sionary Association of New York. A bill has been introdaced into the Louisi- nua House of Representatives granting to G. T. Peaureguard any other persons the sole right to excavate and keep free from obstrac- tieus the mouth of the Mississ ppi river. depth of water of eightecn feet stantly preserved on the bar. V chises are granted to the corporation thus formed. Au intelligent planter writes to the Galveston News that be is well pleased with his pros- pects under the free labor sysiem. His freed- men have remained, and performed their usual work fer a portion of the crop. He has divided his hands into sections, and employs a premium cystem to promote competition. His people are respectful and obedient, and the change m their condition has not altered their conduct. The stockholders of the Southern Pacific road have jnst held a meeting in New Or- Jeans to take measures for the early prosecution of the work. The road is propos to be con- structed from the Texas State line, between Shreveport and Marshal, to El Paso, a dis- tance of eight hundred miles. There it will connect with the QOalifornia Southern Pacific Railroad. Texas has made grants of about 10,000 acres of land, in alternate sections, for every mileof railroad completed within her borders. The grant to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company will be &,000,000 of acres. §7 A singular case was developed yesterday in Justice with's oan court. A cook and waiter named E. B. Madden, who has been in the employ of several families in this city, was Srrested and arraigned on the charge of steal- ing ap overcoat from the residence of General Aspinwall, in University Piace. On seareh- ing the prisoner, two letiers, written by him- self, were found in his possession, in one of which, addressed to the British Minister in Washington, Madcen complains that he bas been severely persecuted by agents of the American Government, and requests to be as. sisted in returning to Enziand.

A very af- fecting letter was written by him on Thars- day, evening of which day, it is supposed, be took the fatal drag, Goran Sag his trouble to rum, and requesting his wife’s forgiveness , and the bestowment of great care on his chil- | aren. Foster was a native of New York, aad 4n iron-moulder by oceupation. On Tuesday night last, a young named Louis ‘broemmer committed suicide in Cincmnati by taking tincture of opium, the cause being the elopement of his wife with his former business partner. ~ In Chicago, a few nights since, William A. © Thompson, aged sixty-five, while in bed with his wife, who is about thirty years his junior, — w: deliberately seized a gun standing in his room, placed it to bis breast and discharged it, the ball passing through him and lodging in the wall, The two had been induiging in a quar- rel previous to the act.
