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.
