FROM New Orleans, A graduate from the University ot Copenhagen, Denmark ; Honorary M. D. Irom the University of Padova, Italy ; for several years assistant Phy-sician to the celebrated Prof. Rieord, Paris. Having been for years a student at the large hospitals of Paris, London, Vienna and Copenhagen, and thorough, large and varied practice during 15 years, has gained the most thorough knowledge of the nature of all chronic diseases and the treatment thereof, and he has in his extensive practice had an unparalleled success, and very often effected a cure where every remedy had been tried and all hope of restoration of health had beep despaired of. Nobody who ever suffered of the te-dious and life imbitteriug disease—Dis-pepsia— has ever in vain called on Dr. Bille. In every case has he by his new method ot treatment restored the func-tions of the stomach, and with it the health and vigor of the patient, and vigor of the patient, and many a per-son does to-day, with gratitude, recall the moment he placed himself under Dr. Bille’s care. For his treatment of Ladies’ Diseases, Dr. Bille is deservedly renowned, and no lady suffering from "'Amenorrhoea, Dysmenorrhoe.', Hysteria, Prolapsus Uteri, or any other disease peculiar to the female system, should not fail to call on Dr. Bille, as they will quickly be relieved of their suffering and ulti-inately restored to perfect health.

Dr. Bille has made a specialty, and this [scourge of humanity, unsuccessfully ’treated by most practitioners, is easy and quickly overcome by his new treat-ineut. Being a pupil of the most re-nowned Piiysician for syphilitic diseases in the world, Prof. Rieord, in Paris, Dr. Bille will always guarantee a cure in any case of syphilitic disease which may come under his treatment; and hundreds in this city and vicinity can testify that in cases of syphilitic nature, where other physicians have failed. Dr. Bille has always been successful. Nervous Debility, Seminal Weakness Impoteney, either caused by age or abuse, quickly and permanently reliev-ed. and full power restored. No man is too old and no young man too debilitated that tie can not be com- Cletely reinvigorated and rejuvenated y tile treatment of Dr, VV, Bille. Dr. Bille wishes to call particular at- | tention to his new discovery, by which tie can, by the help of microscope and chemistry, discover if there is any syphilitic poison in the blood, which is of tiie greatest importance, as persons having had venereal diseases often be-lieve themselves cured, and the poison still remains in the blood to break out sooner or later. Dr. Bille has resided in New Orleans for years, is endorsed by the best citizens there, and by his skill, knowledge and successful cures lias obtained a great reputation as a specialist. DR. BILLE Will arrive at Waco on or about the UHth of June, 1874. And will be located at M c C L E ELAND HOUS E, Where he will be glad to see those need-ing his services at once, as his stay will only be short.

N.” the traveling corres-pondent of the Examiner and Pa-tron, the organ of democracy and grangers, is going back on Gal-veston because the middlemen of that place turn a deaf oar to his syren song with advertis-ing chorus. ‘‘T. N.” evi-dently is a friend to St. Louis. We warn Galveston in Time to avert the impending wrath of this itinerant granger Jonah. If he should throw his influence against the Island City, the fate of Tyre, now desolate in the sea, would speedily overtake her; she would become as lonely as in the time of Lafitte, the rendezvous of the buccaneers, and as far as commerce is concerned, “as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean.” We beseech the middle-men to yield to the seductive in-fluence of “T. N.” or “in forty days Galveston shall be destroy-cd.” “T. N.’s” letter speaking of St. Louis says : She will take advantage of the narrow-minded restrictions of the Board of Trade at Galveston, which prevents the commission merchant from independent ac-tions on their part, actions by which they could control the Granger’s cotton crop of Texas— as it is no Granger will ship cot-ton to this market, under the old rates—when St. Louis, alive to, and knowing how to deal with the order, is moving forward in the matter. Since rny arrival in this city 1 have been called upon by several St. Louis business men, who are here on this very mission and-were it not that I am a Texan, and would rather work for home, I would leave here and Rtop try-ing to convince the busiuess men, the cotton fadtors and commis-sion merchants in particular, that the Grange is not a political clap-trap secret humbugging swindle, as they are persistent in terming us, but instead a banded brother-hood determined upon looking more closely into the disposition of their-, crops—that we seek to join the capital invested in our own State, to make it subservient to our wishes—mutually benefi-cial. Wbon I tell them that we on-ly propose to attend to our own business, they tell me to go then and do it and leave theirs alone, as though it were not a part of ours to see to the expenses of its sale, which comes out of our pock-ets. Galveston does not’realize the fact as does St. Louis, the fact that we mean business, and as the thing now points, she will not be-fore it is too late to regain her lost wealth. My mission here is too grave and important to admit of my be-coming insulted by their abuse— which 1 attribute to their ig-norance— of us as an order to be styled a set of dema-goguos, having for an object the breaking down of all in-vestments which have and are calculated to stiil father advance, not only individual interests, but that of the whole State at large, and when I am told that no as-surance on my part, that the con-trary is the truth will be beliov-ed, and that there is no use talk-ing; I am but forced to the oonclu-sion that at last I have found our enemy, found, them at our very door, blocking it against our eff-orts to advance, not the interests of our order alone, but those of commerce as concerns Texas, the interests of the land, the whole people, and as such I propose to meet them; after all efforts by persuasion, reason and logic have failed, T. N. O ye ignorant middlemen of Galveston who wili not advertise ! How often would “T. N.” have gathered you under his wings as a hen doth her brood, but ye would not! Jonah hath warn-ed j ou ! The organ will turn and the prosperity of Galveston will flee away to St. Louis and the white sails of those who go down to the sea in ships will come to her no more; and Texans will point to the sand bank and ex-claim— here once stood the Island city, the pride of our State, the gem of the Mexican Gulf; but alas, “T. N.”^ came, they would not advertise, and perished like Jonah’s gourd in a single night! THE EXAMINER AND PAT-RON ON ST. LOUIS AND GALVESTON. We publish in another place with some light comments an ex-tract from a letter from the trav-eling agent of the Examiner and Patron, who is off soliciting sub-senptions and advertisements, threatening to ruin Galveston and transfer its trade to St. Louis, simply, we presume, because the merchants of the metropolis of our State turn a deaf ear to the advantage of a card in the organ. Such threats are moro than idle ; they are ridiculous. Galveston will not only control Texas cot-ton, but even now is with Kansas City, a place right in the domin-ions of St. Louis, arranging to take the grain trade from out of the latter’s hands. The products of every land make for the sea at the nearest point, and for a man to talk of Texas shipping her cotton to St. Louis, whore it will be shipped by rail to New York or down the Mississippi to New Orleans, al-most, if not quite, amounts to folly’-; for St. Louis is not yet enough of a manufacturing town to consume near all the cotton that Texas produces. We went down to Galveston ourselves and spent a hundred dollars or so in fruitless efforts after advertise-ments, and even paid our hotel bill, but because we failed we did not discern any reason for threat-ening to destroy a lot of mer-chants who are supposed to know their Interests well enough to be able to select their advertising medium, Galveston is a city in which every Texan is interested ; for if it grows, we are certain of boing always close to a gfcod mar-kot. The farmers of Texas will of course consult their own inter-ests ; but we do not see how they are called on to ship to St. Louis simply because Galveston mer-chants will not heed the ad-vertising agent of the Ex-aminor and Patron. As to the threats against Galveston, they amount to nothing. Sensible Grangers will always seek the best markets. St. Louis cannot successfully contend against Gal-veston as a cotton mart, and if the grangers will only place them-selves on a cash basis in tfieir dealings with middlemen, they need not bo any war betwoen them and Galveston or any other middlemen. If Galveston, will do her duty as the great eo,miner-cial city and cotton mavkotof our State, an,d we think that she will, she need have no fears of the wrath of the Grangers. We regret to see the article published, as it is well known that “T. N.” is the traveling cor-respondent of the Examiner and Patron, who is soliciting for sub-scription and advertisements, and many persons will be ill natured enough to think that had he met with better luck in his “mission” that Galveston would have stood higher in his estimation. If Gal-veston never loses the trade of the grangers of Texas until it is driven off by such idle threats, she will hold it forever. Let her business men be as they have been—honest and true, and the fact that this newspaper or that may threaten them, will have no effect upon the prosperity of the city. State News. The July interests on the one million indebtedness of the city “thanks to the Radicals” and which is payable on the first of the month, or have suit brought against us ly the bond holders in the United" States Court, is un-derstood to be between $40,000 and $50,000. This payment will of course, have to be repeated on the first of January next, the in-terest being paid semi annually. Thus are the citizens of Houston beginning to reap the practical fruits of the late Radical regime; and thus have they just cause to execrate the unprinciple Radical wretches who foisted upon us this fearlul debt, and for which every foot of real property in our city’ is liabio.—Age. The Kansas City papers say that the Texas Central will have to change their gauge south of Corsicana to conform to the width above there. Without such change grain can not be shipped through cheap enough. The Dallas Commercial says “the Signet will remain suspend-ed until the mint julip season is over/' A man was drowned near Mop-pon’s Store during the rise in the Red River. Cuero is having a little war too. Congressional News. Washington, Juno 8.—The a-mendment of the Finance Com-mittee to authorize the examina-tion of books, invoice papers, &c., by the United States Attorney, on the order of the Courts, was rejected by a vote of 21 ayes to 26 nays. Charles Franefs Adams in a let-ter to Senator Windom expresses in the light of Ins experience as an Erie Railroad Commissioner, dissatif'saetjon with both the Me- Crary bill to regulate the trans-portation by rail, as going a great deal too far, and with Mr. Win-dom’s suggestion of a simple mea-sure for investigation,"that it don’t go far enongh. Adams does not believe it possible for any nine men, no matter how honest and experienced, to revise the railroad tariffs in use in the United States; and even if they could, that they would be able to reach the present difficulty. The difficulty is the natural out-growth of the whole system and theory of railroad construction, and it can not bo eradicated with-out upsetting the system of pri-vate ownership regulated by com-petition. Sheridan and Pinchback argue their cases this evening at the bar of the House. Each has an hour. The President visits Mt. Ver-non on the 20th of July, by invi-tation.

Rockport, Texas, June 9.—It has been ascertained that the murderers of Swift and his wife were two Mexicans. They were trailed to a Mexican rancho on Blanco creek, twelve or fifteen miles from Goliad. The party in pursuit charged the house this moruing and at-tempted to take them by storm, but one of them, Dan Holland by name, was killed in the attempt. The boys then withdrew to a safe distance to await reinforcements. A large party left Refugio imme-diately for the scene of conflict. Mrs. Swift was stabbed in a number of places, her throat cut to the neck bone, and was shot in the lace besides. Mr. Swift was equally butchered, except that he was not shot. New York, June 9.—Newspa-per publishers are cautioned against a forged circular in the name of Rowell & Co., ordering microscopic aud miscellaneous advertisements. It is a swindle. ------ ---------— Evening Dinpatcheis. Washington, June 10.—In the Senate Ingalls introduced a bill to abolish the Board of Indian Commissioners, which was re-ferred to the Committee on In-dian Affairs. The House is debating the Gc-neva award bill. New York, June 10.—The de-tails of the storm on Sunday show a wide spread damage; the Hilbrook had an immense num-ber of windows destroyed; two lightning bolts exploded in Large Square, at Utica; the Catholic church at Hamilton was totally wrecked ; no loss of life is repor-ted ; many barns were burned. St. Louis, June 10.—The first locomotive and passenger train of three cars crossed the bridge to-day. The train made several trips across the bridge. Augusta June 10.—The cotton exchange convention has organ-ized with the following officers. John Phelps, New Orleans, Pres-ident: C. O.* Easton, New York, Vice President: John S. Loof Memphis',Secretary. After the or-ganization the convention took a recess until lo’cloek in order to give time to appoint commission-ers and prepare business. Rome, June 10.—The pilgrims from the United States, accompa-nied by 100 American Catholics of Romo, proceeded to the Vati-can to-day, and were received by the Pope. On Thursday the pil-grims receive communion from the Pope himself. Paris, June 10.—In the Assem-bly M. Gerard, deputy from Nie-vre and member of the Left, read a document which he stated had been circulated during the elec-tion in that department. - The pa-per urges Bonapartist officials to confer all appointments in their gift to retired officers, who are in favor of the election of the Bour-gogne Bonapartist candidate, and adds that the ministry of finance, M. Magne, 'has furnished a list of such officers to the government. Gerard demands an* honest in-quiry into the affair. Rouper dis-claims an}’ knowledge of the doc-ument, and insinuated that it was fictitious. He declared himself in favor of an inquiry, and would discuss the subject when the results of the investi-gation were presented to the As- 'sembly. Latest Markets. Liverpool, June 10.
