Braxton -Bragg sent off the following dispatch from Gal-veston on the night of the 14th : Gen. H. N. Ogden, New Orleans : Texans greet you, and wish you speedy deliverance. Braxton Bragg. A convert to Judaism is rare,be-cause the Jews do not seek to make any. But on Sunday the synagogue in Galveston was crowded to hear tho profession of faith which Miss Theodosia Rush-ing, daughter of Col. Rushing of tho Ennis Argus, was to make to the unity and singleness of God. Miss Rushing and her father de-dared that she did this of her own accord. Rabbi Blum warn-ed her that it was no light thing to connect herself with the cliil-dren of Israel whom the bigoted yet treat with opprobrium. But she was firm and declared her faith. Miss Rushing was then united in the alliance of matrimo-ny with Mr. Philip Freeman. On the 14th Grant was dining the veterans of the Mexican war in Washington, and Albert Piko was frothing over with gas. What do they care for the patri-ots of other days when the city of New Orleans, famous for her gen-erosity and valor in that same | struggle, and poor Mississippi, which sent her famous troops to those same wars, arc delivered over to the carpet bagger for a rule of ruin ! But the president drank his whisky, issued his pro-clamalion and left yesterday for Long Branch. The patriots . of the Mexican war ! What is pat-riotism, if tho struggles in New Orleans are not patriotic! Yet carpet baggers and radicals will say, it is a new rebellion ! Washington, Sept. 4.—In the i hope of breaking the ioree of the j statement telegraphed to the Sun two days ago of Grant’s violation of law in transacting executive business outside the District ofj Columbia, the organs of tho Ad-ministration are claiming that the Presidency is not an office attach-ed to the seat of government. This will not hold water. The act of 1791, quoted from in ray despatch, was one establishing a permanent seat of government at Washington, and has not only never been repealed, but last ses-sion of Congress it was reenacted by the passage of tho bill entitled “Revised Statutes of the United States.” She executive office is as much an office in the sense intended to be conveyed by the act of 1791 as that of Secretary of the Treasury, and it certainly would not be pretended that that officer could, without violation of I law, exercise tho functions of Ins office outside tho Dietidct of Co-lumbia. The routine business | which Grant transacts at Long Branch, Martha’s Vineyard, and Saratoga is of course done as at j Washington, and there is no legal ! method of going behind the re-cord. Hence its legality cannot be dis pitted in a court of Justice; but nevertheless each act so per- I formed constitutes an impeacha-ble offence.—N. Y. Sun- St. Louis Flour.—Just received— one hundred barrels of No. 1 St. Louis flour, also a large lot of St. Louis hot-tied beer. Those wishing a first class article ol flour or good beer are invited to call and be supplied by Wood & Green. Foolish fathers who send boys into the country with fowiipg pieces and pistols are tho best friends the undertakers have durng vacation season. At a Bargain.—A splendid Florence Sewing Machine. Apply at this office or to Robt. Gribble. d&wtf. Two years ago the necessity of a presidential canvass boosted'in-to the gubernatorial chair of Lou-isiana the infamous usurper, Wil-liam Pitt;Kdiiogg of Illinois. It is well known how liq~ came to liis position. Tho midnight or-der of .Durell, the Federal troops, the outrage in all its details will not soon bo forgotten by men who used to be free. Two years of misrule and plun-der had passed; tho elections were again approaching and the poo-pie of the State were in earnest to retrieve their fortunes at the polls. But Kellogg the carpet bagger, the quintessence of cow-ardly infamy, concocted a rogis-tration law which prevented hun-dreds of naturalized citizens from registering, and fixed punish-ments upon tho venal courts that should by any miracle take cog-nizance of a mandamus for regis-tration. Kellogg also by his po-lice repeatedly of late plundered private parties and dealers in arms of 'guns and ammunition, in bold affront of the second article of the amendments to the consti-tntion of tho United States, which declares that tho right of the peo-pic to bear arms shall not be ‘in-fringed. It was evident that the adventurer reckless of all save his person and power, was forging now chains for enslaved Louisi-ana. The citizens of New Orleans issued on the 14th a call to meet at Clay’s statue to petition for a redress of grievances. They de-clared they had no quarrel with any body but thieves and demand-ed tho abdication of Kellogg; Kel-logg refused to seethe committee appointed to confer with him. There upon Lieutenant Gov-ernor D. B. Pehn, who was elect-ed on the McEnery ticket by some 15000 returned majority, assumed his office, issued bis proc-lamation of peace to the colored citizens of Louisiana; and prepar-ed to expel the usurpers. lie was opposed by one James Longstroet, a formerly respecta-bio man, commanding mongrel Metropolitans, horse, foot and ar-tillery. Longstreet commanded the citizens to disperse, and on their declining to do this, his Metropolitans opened fire. About an hour was consumed in over-throwing the military force of the Kellogg government with what loss onr readers are alrea-dy aware, The next day on the loth—Penn was inaugurated, fol-lowed by thirty thousand rcspcc-tabid men, McEnery being absent. Reports from Shreveport say that the movemont will go on in North Louisiana, and five days doubtless every legally elected officers will be installed through-out the entire State. And Ulyses S. Grant issues his proclamation, with many where-ases. detailing his powers to use tho militia of other States, and so forth, and the one therefore commanding turbulent and dis-orderly persons to disperse with-in five days and hereafter to sub-mit themselves to the constitut-cd authorities of said State. The President concludes by invoking the aid of all the good citizens in upholding the laws, which he will be gratified to learn, they have already done. It may bo well to recollect that Mat Carpen-ter ja radical of the Senatorial Committee appointed to investi-gate Louisiana affairs always de-nounced Kellogg as a usurper, holding by' no law but that of the Federal bayonets. The Federal bayonets stood however affection-atel. v locked in quadruple'cmbrace at the custom-house and without them Kellogg had no power to stick. Tho proclamation does not read violently. It equivocal, which may bo duo to its being gotten up by Fish and not Williams. It is to bo hoped Grant will support Penn the legally elected Lieutcn-ant Governor of Louisiana. The clemency of tho populace displays their overwhelming power in the the c11j*. The high character of the professional men, merchants and laborers engaged in the up-rising, shows the high character of the movement. And if Grant wants to support the legal gov-ernment of the State he will only have to recognize tho one that will be organized at the end of the five days he allows, for the miserable Kellogg, through his bravo mercenary, Longstreet, has from his refuge in the custom house begged the protection of the White League. An overthrow of the Kellogg sat-rapy, emmigration or starvation, were the alternatives of Louisi-ana; lot us hope that they have aeeomplishd the first. State News. L. G. P. Stowe a post office clerk of Austin, has been detected robbing the mails. He has been locked up in default of bail. His counsel is Mrs. Lockwood, the new female lawyer. Chas. Morgan in a recent let-ter to Wra. Brady of Houston, who is on the point of visiting the Secretary of the U. S. Treas- | ury with a view to have Hous-ton made. a.port of entry and rid her of tho necessity' of exhibj ting papers at the Galveston cus-tom- house^ says that an addition-al argument is that he will under late contract immediately begin to dredge out Buffalo Bayou, and will run his Brash ear steamers to Houston, at least ono a day with out stopping at Galveston. Carl Schurz on Louisiana Carpet Baggers- In a recent number of - the St. Louis Post a German paper edit-ed by Senator Schurz, we find an articles on ‘The Shamful Situation in Louisiana,’ from which the fol-lowing signfieant extract is taken: While we are here advocating the civil rights bill, with so much unanimity, how can wo blame tho unhappy white peoplo of Lou-isiana, if they make an effort to throw off the yoke of slavery im-posed upon them by Grant; Uasey Kellogg and Durell, who while the ballot-box is being stocked against them, have left them the alternative of taking the wander-er’s staff and going forth into the world as beggars, leaving their paternal inheritance in the hands of thieves, or remaining at home to be ruined by taxation, helpless against the scoundrels that crack the whip over them and lash them to death. If they could succeed in driving the Northern carpet-baggers out of tho State, every honest man would rejoice, and even if some of them should be deprived of life or limb you could not find 12 honest men who would not ren-der a verdict of “not guilty, done in self-defense.” It has come’to such a pitch down there that, ap-pealing to nature’s law, we not only excuse, but advise violent measure, while we have human blood running in our viens. Fire! Fire!!—We have for sale at this office live Babcock Fire Extin-guisliers, wliksh we have no particular use for. This extinguisher is some* thing needed in every business house in the city. By calling early a bargain can be had. jylGtf, TEL EG R A P H I C . [opecial to WKCd Advance.] Progress lu Louisiana. Shreveport, Sept. 16.—The rightful Officers elected in 1872 have been peaceably reinstated in all the parishes so far as heard from in North Louisiana. There has uot been nor will there bo a single deed of bloodshed. The movement has been conducted by the leading property’ holders, bus-iness and conservative men in this and adjoining parishes. The best of feeling prevails between the,whites and blacks. Our peo-pie are of opinion that President Grant’s proclamation was issued under a misapprehension of the facts. 'They can not believe that he will use the power of his great office to crush them. There will be no conflict between the people and the federal authorities; but the Kellogg infamy is dead be-yond resurrection, troops or no troops. Delhi, Sept. 16.—An enthusi-astic mass meeting of the citizens of Richland parish was held at Rayville yesterday' evening with great rejoicing at the news from New Orleans. Dr. Brumby, Gov. MeEnery’s appointee to the office of tax collactor, was installed in office by' the citizens who gave three cheers for tho outgoing Kel-logg appointee, Jones, for courte-ous way in which he surrendered the office; which was followed by large and enthusiastic cheers for ihe new collector and redeemed Louisiana. All the officers of tho parish arc now McEnery men. A large number of colored men at-tended the meeting and partici-pated in the rejoicing. Cannon were fired at Delhi last night and there isgoneral rejoicing all over the parish among all classes of citizens. . Franklin parish will install her McEnery officers to-day'. Kellogg- a Foreign Gent. Washington, Sept. 16.—It is said that when in the customhouse-at New Orleans the people are virtually out of the State of Lou-isiana. Nt. iiOiiix Syiaipatlii/e^. St. Louis, Sept. 16.—A Mass meeting held- last night sympa- ■thizes with.Louisiana in their ef-forts to rid themselves of oppres-sion. • It was largely attended. Gen. William Shields presided and a large number of prominent citizens of both political parties were elected vice presidents and secretaries. Sleeting of Grimfi» faUiitol. Washington, Sept. 16.—There is to he a cabinet meeting at three o’clock, over tho Louisiana affairs. Nothing definite in regard to the rule of policy can bo known, he-cause the cabinet is not formed. Spirit of tlie New 1 orlt l'ress. New York,.Sept, 10.—The Rost says “we believe President Grant’s inter-ferenee in the domestic affairs of the Southern States lias been wholly mis-cl. eivous. Through his aid Kellogg has fortified his position on every side by legal barriers. Men do not seek re-dress with lmiskefin hand when they have a fair chance to obtain re-dress at the ballot-box. Kellogg's hand now covers every ballot-box in Louisiana. Like tho late Louis Napo-leon, he can obtain for his most illegal acts the apparent sanction ot the peo-pie. Even the ballot-box, the peaceful weapon of the freemen has become un-der his management the instrument of political tyranny, the herald of discord and financial ruin. He ought to be left to the vengeance ot the people whose necks are under liis heel.” The Express denounces the Presi-dent for again supporting Kellogg. 'flie Commercial says "this bloody riot has been caused by an incendiary action of the White League ; evident-ly the position of a prean anged plan. But lawlessness must be put down at ail hazards, and it is better the battle fie lought out in New Orleans than elsewhere, unless a premium is to lie placedlipon rioting. Latest Markets.
