-TEXAs claims a population of one million six hundred thousand. -GEN. B. F. Butler has declined the Democratic nomination for Governor in Massachusetts.

-WHEN you wish to have any pictures framed, call at Albert's Gallery. Over one hundred styles-all sizes. -Do you desire bargains in either the Dry Goods or Grocery so pay a visit to "Big Heyman's" establishment. -SENATOR Wallace, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, has no doubt of Hancock's election. -CHAMBERS, of Texas, Weaver's associate, has written his letter of acceptance.

And now he has done well his part of the job. -MR. B. H. Greene, State Engineer appointed by Gov.

Wiltz, has resigned. His resignation was owing to his appointment as engineer in connection with the New Orleans Pacific Railway. -MR. E. J.

Barrett, will be pleased to have the public generally call and examine his varied stock. He is now installed in his new store, opposite the Episcopal Churchb, Pineville. The highest market prices will be paid for any and everything produced on the farm. J. F.

Graham, the time scarred veteran of the Alexandria Ferry, who is known from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, still clings to his post on the quarter deck of the flagship John C. Rogers. Though hls life has not been passed upon the storm-tossed billows of the briny deep, he is inspired by the traditional love of Englishmen for the element upon which they have achieved the greatest renown. To this sentiment the poet alludes in the lines: "The spirit of our fathers shall start from every wave, For the deck it was their field of fame. and ocean was their grave." PROTECTING A SOUTHERN Official advices were received here yesterday directing the resident Inspector of Post Offices to Alexandria, and investigate the state of affairs there, by which the exrebel element array themselves against the assumption of his official duties by the Postmaster there.

The order to the inspecting officer, which is under date of Washington, August 31, and signed by D. B. Parker, Chief Inspector, recites that: "The Post Master General having received report that Mr. Connelly, reappointed Postmaster at Alexandria, is prevented from taking charge of his office by violence, he directs that a discreet Inspector proceed at once to Alexandria, to install the official, and report upon the facts." Mr. Connelley "is regularly commissioned, and if not permitted to take charge of and administer the of.

flee without molestation, it will be discontinued." "Complaint against him" it is added, "will be promptly investigated." The above slander, against the citizens of Alexandria, appeared in the St. Louis Globe Democrat of the 2nd a filthy, dirty, radical sheet, edited by an exsconvict of the Missouri penitentiary, pardoned by U. S. Grant, and is a fair sample of the editorial trash that daily appears in its columns. Send on your "discreet" Inspector, Mr.

Postmaster General, and we'll see that he is taken care of, and that no harm hefalls him whilst in our midst. "Exrebel element," ha! ha! NEW ORLEANS AND TEXAS UNITED BY RAIL. The first through train from New Orleans to Texas passed over the Morgan railroad on Saturday, August 28th--this train carried only freight. The first passenger train went through on Monday, the 30th. The consummation of this great enterprise has been eagerly anticipated for many months past, and its final realization has excited the pro foundest interest among the business men in New Orleans and throughout Texas.

The people of the entire State can but feel a just pride in the brilliant future of our great metropolis. The wealth of the great empire which will now be poured into her lap, will, doubtless, in connection with her rapidly increasing trade from other sources, soon make her one of the first commercial cities of the world. The fullest benefits, however, of railroad communication with Texas cannot be realized until there is a competitive line. High charges, we fear, will continue to divert much of the trade that legitimately belongs to New Orleans. -MR.

A. HEYMAN, the Manager of the Mammoth.establishment of Baer and Mann, whose store and warehouses are jammed with dry goods, groceries, boots, shoes, hats, caps, and everything usually kept in a first class trading establishment, arrived home last week, in fine health, having had a month's recreation at the famed Waukesha springs, in Wisconsin. He also visited all the North ern markets, and being present in person, experienced the advantage had over a merchant ordering by let ter or otherwise. Buying, in nearly ev'ery instance for cash, he will be able to sell this season at unheard of rates, paying in return the highest market prices for "King Cottton" and other country produce. Noother establishment in the Parish can compete with this firm, either as regards quality of goods or prices.

His Lieutenant and Right Bower, Capt. Julius M. Nasits, together with a host of other gentlemen now in his employ, including Messrs. French, Levy, Sullivan, Baer, Leckie, and Laney Brothers, all attentive, courteous, polite and gentlemanly clerks, are ever ready and willing to supply the wants of the purchaser. This is the place to buy your goods, sell your cotton, and have the "dust" ploced in your palm, and, you forget it." -MESSRS.

R. W. Bringhurst and L. V. Marye have formed a co-partnership for the purpose of transacting a general Real Estate business.

There has long been a want of such an agency here, and it can be made to operate greatly to the advantage of landholders, purchasers and tenants. Mr. Bringhurst's thorough acquaintance with every acre of land in the Parish, united with MIr. Marye's well known business tact, peculiarly fit them for the business in which they have engaged. We predict success, and shall have more to say hereafter.

-MEssRas. Cullen a Rogers have completed their new Warehouse, at the head of the upper wharf, and are fully prepared to conduct a general warehouse, storage, receiving and forwarding business. Special atten tion is invited to their card. They will also keep coal, hay, bran, oats, corn, lime, cement, sugar and molasses. We take pleasure In commend ing them as thorough-going and reliable business men.

-CALL on I. C. Miller and let him register your name for one or more chances in his Stove raffle. Only $1 per chance. Twostoves-No.

1, valued at $30, and No. 2 at $25. The highest throw to take first choice, leaving the $25 stove to the gentleman making the lowest throw. The raffle will take place as soon as all chances are sold. -TUB Ice Saloon of Charlie Goldenberg, duronog the Holidays, will open and close as follows: Friday, closes at 5 p.

Saturday open from 6 to 7 a. 12m; and from 6 to 9p. m. -SAM, of the Exchange, received the first oysters of the season on Monday. He will receive them by every boat during the season.

The Hon. James Jefries reached home on Thursday last. He has just returned from an extended Northern tour. We are pleased to report that he is in excellent health and thAt he brings gratifying intelligence of the political situation throughout the North. General Hancock's supporters are daily receiving accessions from among those who have been life long Republicans, and there is no doubt of his triumphant election.

Mr. Jeffries was among the first of the prominent citizens of Louisiana to advocate the nomination of General Hancock. We took occasion in our last to say that Mr. Jeffries was the choice of the majority of the voters in this District for Congress.That his election will follow if he is nominated there is no shadow of doubt, and that Louisian illl have in him an able, energetic and conscientious representative, wl'o will guard her every interest, is equally well assured. AROUND THE fame that is world-wide and acquired in the short space of a fewyears, must have true merit for its support.

Doctor Pierce's Family Medicines have gained such fame and the foreign orders for his Golden Medical Discovery-the greatest blood purifier of the age, for his Pleasant Purgative Pellets, (little sugar coated pills,) his Favorite Prescription-woman's best friend-and other remedies became so great, that a branch of the World's Dispensary has been established in London, England, for their manufacture. From this depot they are shipped to every part of Europe, and to the East Indies, China, Ja pan, and other countries. Their sale in both North and South America is perfectly enormous and increasees yearly. World's Dispensary Medical Association, Proprietors, Buffalo, N. and Great Russell street Buildings, London, Eng.

ROYAL CENTRE, CASs COUNTY, Feb. 28, 1879. Dr. R. V.

Pierce: DEAR SIR-I take pleasure in writing my testimony with others in regard to your valuable medicine. For a long time I have suffered from disease of the lungs and until I used your Discovery found nothing that did me any good. Thanksto it, I am relieved and recommend it to all. Yours truly, MARY KENNEL. -THE attention of the public generally is invited to the business cards and advertisements of the various merchants of Pineville, which appear in this issue.

The business men of Pineville fully apprized of the large increase in the volume of trade which will be realized during the season now opening, have made ample arra ements to meet the wants of the throughout this and the adj ining Parishes. They are prepared to supply every demand and at prices which defy competi tion. Special mention is made elsewhere of those to whom we refer. THE N. O.

New Orleans Democrat since it passed under the mhanagement of Colonel E. A. Burke has displayed extraordinary enterprise and has been gaining steadily in popular favor. To day it is without exception the first of Southern newspapers. Original in its views, and bold in their expreesion without being extreme, it may serve as a model for journalists who esteem these characteristics.

The edition of Sept. 1st was immense; six tone of paper were consumed, and each paper contained thirty pages of matter. -AMONG the new advertisements in today's issue will be seen that of J. Rosenthal. This house is equip.

ped to compete with any and all competition. A large stock is on hand, and more is being constantly received. Prices are the lowest and perfect satisfaction Ie assured. No pains will be spared to exhibit stock, and all are invited to call. -MR.

S. Barrett has lately returned from New Orleans with a very complete general stock of goods.Purchased for cash they will be sold low. His facilities for supplying the general wants of the public and for purchasing cotton and all country produce are equal to theoe of any other merchant in the place. The public are invited to call. Shadel, carpenter and contractor, will undertake work in any part of the Parish.

We cheerfully recommend him as a finished workman. Communications will be answered. -TaE card of J. B. Smith, machinist, gunsmith, appears in our Pineville Directory.

Planters or others needing a thorough mechanic may rely upon him. -Buy your clothing from "Big" Heyman. He has nobby saits for boys which he sellscheaper than the cheapest, for cash I -MR. A David is prepared to deliver pine and oak wood in Alexandria or Pineville. Orders solicted.

FROGRESSIVE PIINEViLE. BUSINESS ME ACTIVE. PREPARATIONS FOR THE FALL TRADE. IMMENSE STOCKS AT THE LOWEST PRICES. The din and bustle which resound iq the streets of our prosperous neighbor seem to reiterate the words Forward! As we move along the battle line, as it were, and scan the names of the veteran business men who shape and guide her destinies, there seems to float above us a banner inscribed with that magical word "Success." Pausing to survey the scene, there rises above the horizon the sure omen of victory' and triumph-the veritable sun of Austerlitz in all his majesty! But, list! What sounds are those which break upon the ear? They are the clamors and mutterings of the approaching struggle the preparations which precede a season of unusual business activity.

Let us pass within the walls of these mercantile quadrangles, and survey the busy scenes there presented. No evidence of war is here, though there are breastworks, parapets and bastions-su'ch, too, as would have delighted "Old Hickory" on particular occasions- genuine cotton bales; piles upon piles of wooden and paper boxes, great and small, with all kinds of queer labels; tin cans with illuminated wrappers; jugs jars; barrels, bottles and demijohns; glassware, tinware, hardware, (what is that?) lime, salt and sugar; candies, caddies, soaps and starch; hooks, ties, bags sad bagging; notions, switches and zephyrs; pills, powders, emetics and cosmetics; essences, extracts and drugs; the "bitters," sweets and sours, all mingled; clerks with dishevelled locks and wearing an anxious, longing expression of countenance, (with only one pencil over each ear,) striving to assort and arrange-to bring order out of chaos, waiting upon a dozen customers at the same time; draymen tumbling everything about with their accustomed wantonness and recklessness; book-keepers and "bosses" adjusting invoices and affixing the "marks." The incessant jingle of gold and silver would perhaps distract those who were not every day surrounded by such tumult and Inured to such scenes. On the streets wagons with their loads of lumber, wood and all the varied pro duce of the country are to be seen almost continually moving in, or re turning with merchaudize. The merchants of Pineville supply a considerable part of the population of seven Parishes. Their assortments of goods include everything, and the stocks of her leading mercLants are being almost daily replenished.

The planters anti farmers in Grant, Avoyelles, Catahoula, Winn, Jackson and Bienville, as well as those in North Rapides will here find the best market for all they may have to sell, and can purchase whatever they may need at the very smallest advance on New Orleans prices. -AMONG the number of business houses of our neighboring village of Pineville, it is with pleasure we call special attention to the establishment owned and conducted by G. W. Bolton, one of the most reliable and prosperous merchants of that Town. Having recently enlarged his store house so asa to meet the demands of his business, he is receiving byevery boat additions to his stock of Fall and Winter goods, which will soon be larger and more comply in all departments than ever before.

Mr. Bolton is determined to sell goods as low as any house in town, and with his facilities for purchasing, he is enabled to do so, and at the same time fully maintain the long established character of his house for superior quality of goods. Be sure to call on him when visiting Pineville to trade, and you will And that you are simply consulting your own interest, as all goods will be sold at prices to defy competition. -PARICULAR attention is called to the card and advertisement of Mr. W.

A. Griffin, of Pineville, which' appears in this issue. Mr. Griffin is thoroughly acquainted with every branch of his business, and has exercised the utmost case in the selection of goods. His stock is very large and is being increased every week.

Purchasing as he does for cash, every article will be sold at the smallest advance on cost. His stock of clothing is unrivalled in this market, and he will make it a special branch, keeping always a large assortment. Hiis affable and accommodating clerks make It a pleasure to visit this bouse. Drop Inn" and see J.C. Fant when you go to Pineville; we know yeou will "smile" when you see your image in his beautifully rounded "mirror" of cut glass.
