Etts littAugij etayttsi The White SiTages *f Teaa. 1 The following is the report of General ;Reynolds, commanding the Fifth Military District,which embraces the State of Texas: HEADQU'RS MILITARY DISTRICT, I STATE OF TEXAS,AUSTIIS, November 1868. o the Adjutant General of the United States Army, Washiwton, D. C.: GENERAL: I have the honor to forward erewith the, annual tabular statement of !expeditions and scouts, and'a report of the movements of the various regiments serv ing in this District for the year endiug Sept. 80, 180$. Armed organizations, generally known as the Ku-Klux-Klan, exist inde pendently or in concert with armed bands in many parts of Texas, but are most nu merous, bold and aggressive east of the Trinity river. The precise objects of these organizations cannot be readily explained;" but it seems to be in. this State to disarm, rob and in many cases order Union Men and negroes, and as oc ition may offer,mur der United States officers lend soldiers; also to intimidate every one who knows any thing-about the organization, but will not join it. The civil law east of the Trinity river is almost a dead letter. In some coun ties the civil officers are all, or a portion of them, members of the Klan. In other coun ties where ,the civil officers will not join the Klan, or some other armed band, they shave been compelled to leave their counties. The examples are Van Zandt, Smith and Marion counties. The connty seatof the lat ter is Jefferson. In many counties where the county officers have not been driven off, their .4 influence is scarcely felt. What political end, if any, is aimed at by these bands I .Cannot positively say: but they attend in large bodies the political meetings and bar becues which have been and are being held in various parts of the State under the au spices of the Democratic clubs of the differ _ ent counties. The speakers encourage their ;attendance, and in several counties men hive been indicated by name from the speaker - a' stand as those selected for murder.. The men thus pointed out have •no -course left them but to leave their homes or be murdered on the first convenient opportu nity. The murder.of negroes is so common as to render it impossible to keep ,an "accu rate account of them. Many of the members of these bands of outlaws are transient per sons in the State, the abience of railroads and telegraphs and the great length• of time required to communicate between remote points, facilitating their devilish purposes. These organizations are evidently cotuate .nanced, at least not discouraged, by a major ity of the white people in the counties where the bands are most numerous. They could not otherwise exist. I have given this mat ter close attention, and am satisfied that a remedy,. to be effective, must be gradually applied, and combined with the firm support of the army, until these outlaws are punish ed or dispersed. They cannot tie punished by the civil courts until some examples of _ military commissions show that men can be punished in Texas for murder and kindred crimes. Perpetrators of such crimes have not heretofore, except -in very rare instances, been punished in the State'at all. Free speech and a free press, as the terms are generally understood - in other States, have never existed in, Texas. In - fact, the citizens of other' States cannot ap-, preciate the state of affairs in Texas without actually experiencing it. The official reports of lawlessness and crime, so far from being I exaggerated, do not tell the whole truth. Jefferson is the center from which most of I the trade, travel and lawleasness - of Eastern ' Texas railiate,-and at this point or its vicin ity, there.should be stationed about a regi ment of troops. The recent murder at Jef ferson of Hon. C. W. Smith, a delegate to .-""--Ljhe Constitutional Ceinvention, has made it necessary to order more troops to thatpoint. This movement weakens the frontier posts to such an extent as to impair their efficien cy for protection againstthe Indians; bufthe bold, wholesale 'murdering in the interior of the State seems at present to present a more urgent demand for troops than do the In dian depredations. The frontier posts, should, however, be reinforced, if possible, as it is not improbable that the Indians from the Northwest, after having suffered defeat there, will make heavy incursions into Texas. To restore measurable peace and quiet to Texas will require, for a long time, that troops be stationed at many county seats, until by their presence and aid, if ne cessary, the Civil law can be placed in the sands of reliable officers and executed. This will be the work of years, and will be fylly - secomplished only by an increase of population. I am. General, very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. J. REIVOLDB, 1 Bvt. Major Gen., IL 5.. A., Comd'g. 'll • The Latest Mining Intelligence. 'All Nevada is excited just now by the stories of the richness of the silver mines in - the White Pine District, and the Nevada Enterprise gives the following account of those diggings: We have for some weeks as much as pos sible refrained from giving anything but a passing notice of the White Pine excitement, but it bas all the time been growing and in creasing In might until at last It has gained such strength and assumed such importance that we'cannot well ignore it. There is no getting around it, the White Pine mikes are rich—wonderfully rich. All the letters re ceived from there tell the same story. Par- ties who have examined the mines say that they are doubtless the richest ever discoe ereci in any part of the world. -- Mr. Wil liam Woodburn, of this city, who spent some days in the mines, says that he be lieves there 'is enough -silver in the one small range of. mountains in w ich - the White .Pine mines are situated t pay off the NatiOnal debt, large as it is. His account of the nature of the silver deposi agrees with that of all others who hafts vi ited the mines, namely: That it appears to e a vast l stratum of limestone,: as, where, i r shafts haie been sunk through this limes ne cap; rich ore has been found. In som places the rich ore has forced itself up to the sur face 'through =vices, while in oters the shaft mUst be sunklto the depth o ten to thirty feet before the ore ie found. The depth of the deposit is not known, no shaft having cut through it. A company has drifted , in one direction a distance of one hundred and eighty feet, with cross drifts sixty to seventy. feet in length, and have • sunk a shaft some thirty-five feet in depth, and , all in a solid' ass of ore, worth from $2OO to—don't phoolphool—s2o,ooo per ton! On Chloride Flat, soniewhere on the same mountain —the same kind of ere has been found by every shaft that haspasscd through the limestone. All the miners that have "struck ile" have piled about their Shafts large heaps of ore ranging in value from two hundred dollars per ton up to the frightful figures we have ventured to men tion above. Men who were about our streets: four months since without a cent, are noW'worth od mach silver that neither they not any of their friends can calculate its _value —because, you see, they don't know the length, breadth nor thickness of their pile. All &Om this vicinity say that White' Pine is the poor man's paradise. There Will be in the mines, by the I st of next April, .e population of twenty thousand per- BOWL AB an Whet to all the above, it'll but fair for us to add that there are many persons who believe the mines are too good to last, aid who believe that the ore deposit is of no great thielmess. The Rational Banks. ' Comptroller Hubbard, of the currency burette, in his forthcoming annual report will recommend such action on the part of Congress as will prevent national banks from certifying checks not founded on real funds. This is intended to stop such practices as that of the one of New York which recently, in the Erie war, certified an eight millions of dollars check for spec ulative purposes. I The Treasurer of the - United States,. it is reported, will suggest several reforms in 'the method of collecting United States taxes from National banks. During, the last fiscal year, the Treasurer has collect ed $5,728,365 for duty on the three items of capital, circulation and deposits. Tile Com missioner of Internal Revenue, during the same period, bas collected $1,868,739 as taxes upon the same three items, from , Na tional banks State banks aid private bank— ers. The c ollections from National banks for_duty are made semi-annually by the Treasurer, and involve no expense. The taxes 011 banks and bankers are one twelfth of one per cent. a month on circulation and one-twenty-fourth of one per cent, a month on capital and deposits, and are collected by the Revenue Department, which receives payment for the service. This expense, as far as the National banks are concerned; it is proposed to save, by requiring the pay- . ment of the tax directly into the United States Treasury! lEoertlinee Method of Belief Printing. A glass plate is coated wiih a non-trans parent varnish, and the desired figures are drawn on it with a needle, the dark parts are entirely removed. The glass is then boundto a zinc plate, covered with a layer of .asphaltum varnish, and the whole ex posed for a length of time to the sunlight, after which the zinc plate is washed with oil of turpentine.. The light passing through the scratched lines on the glass plate renders the asphaltum directly subjabent insoluble in turpetine, and the corresponding portion of the zinc remains coated, while the rest is laid.bare. The, plate is the' etched in the usual' manner, leaving the figure in relict*, and capable of being printed from, like a woodcut, when properly mounted. Objects may be gilded in two colors, by Brat de positing one shade of metal, then coating with suitable 'varnish, on which is drawn the pattern of the second shade. With a graver or pointed instrument, the varnish and original gilding are removed along the pattern, and the article is then subjected to the second process, by which the other tint is deposited.
