The Direct Trade Union of the
Patrons of Husbandry, chartered
by the Legislature of Georgia to
carry on a trade between that
State and European points, will
doubtless bo a line thing for the
parlies in Georgia who have con-trol
of it. But how it is to bene-fit
us in Texas we fail to see all
at once. We would much prefer
that Galveston be made the port
for our direct trade, as we have j
already a considerable fleet to
carry our cotton to Liverpool
which frequently returns loaded
with ballast or almost worthless
salt. We imagine the best thing
that the grangers can do is to de-round
free trade, and direct trade
comes as a matter of course. The
reason tve have no more direct at
the South with Europe, is to be
found in the fact that the imposi-
The Arrival of the Delegates.
The Reception.
There was hurrying to and fro
through Waco this morning, as
carriages and omnibuses, hacks,
buggies and every conceivable
kind of vehicle was rattling over
the streets and across the suspen-sion
bridge, to bring into the city
our expected guests. About five
hundred persons assembled at the
depot, awaiting the arrival of the
ten o’clock train over the North-western
road, which came in
promptly on time, bringing about
one hundred delegates, (among
whom were some thirty or more
ladies,) of the Southern Baptist
Convention, lately in session at
the city,of Jefferson in this State.
As the train rolled into the de-pot
Stoddard’s Waco Cornet band
struck up and regaled the guests
with some splendid music, while
they were passing from the train

After the reception the guests
were conveyed to their various
places assigned to them, and at
3 o’clock a mass meeting was
held at the Baptist church, which
was addressed by many of our
distinguished guests, and as vvo

There will be service at the
Baptist Church to-night, to which
the public are cordially invited.
