The Church Union, a-.profetsedly relig ions paper published la New York, bm recently passed under other and more de cent management. The new editor, in referring to the previous coarse of the journal in question, makes the following frank, but bitter acknowledgement. He says: “This journal lias been notorious for its personalities. It baa not scrupled to call a man a trimmer, a time server, a coward, au eceiesiasticai copperhead, a traitor, or an infidel, as it thought most appropriate. It baa opposed the Pope, but, nevertheless, it has fulminated its opinions with all tbe a-surance of Papal in fallibility, and a slang and scurrility peculiarly its own. Nothing bas shielded others from its at tacks—neither piety, age, learning, love to pod, nor service to"man—nothing except advertising.” ******* “As far, then, as a mao can retraet what he bas not said, or a journal under one management can repudiate certain char acteristics which have belonged to anoth er, we wish to free the Church Union from tbe odium which it has richly merited in the past, and from which it will seek to be free hereafter.” What a humiliating confession is here, says the Baltimore Gazette! A paper, ostensibly devoted to tbe promulgation of religious doctrines, made the vehicle for slang and scurrility—assailing everybody, abusing everybody, and only Sparing tttoSe wiio conciliated it by advertising in Us columns. It was this “stealing the livery of Heaven to serve the Devil in,” which gave an aspect of peculiar wickedness to quite a Dumber of tbe so-called religions journals during tbe war. They were noth ing if not slanderous, nothing if not-ma lignant, nothing if not cruel and blood thirsty. But how could such journals be other wise than what they were, when so many of tbe Northern clergy were fulminating sanguinary anathemas, intead of preach ing peaceaud concord? It wasthecrown ingevilof the times that tbe very men whose special calling should have lifted them above tbe din, and the turmoil, and the strife of faction, threw themselves into tbe arena of politics, not to counsel mod eration, not to allay animosities, not to set, in their own walk and conduct, an ex ample of Christian kindness and forbear ance, but aa stirrers up of evil passions and as apologists for brutality. Were the laws violated—it was “a military necessi ty.” Were citizens maltreated, plundered, torn from their homes, imprisoned with out cause and ultimately released without trial—they were “ disloyal,” and therefore merited punisemhnt. Grant that these excesses during tbe war find some pallia tion in the passions roused hy the war. What then shall be said of tbe persecution that was kept up after the war was brought to a close? What of the wholesale dis franchisement which followed.wholesale plunder at the Soutli; of tbe multitude of corruptionists who have tainted the legis lation of Congress; of the wholesale sys tem of plunder which cheats tbe Federal Treasury of a hundred millions of dollars a year, and which bas made the name of “revenue officer” and of “ licensed thief” terms almost synonymous? If tbe public morals have become de bauched; if our system of Government is undergoing a radical change for the worst; if the faction now in power is sec tional, proscriptive and revolutionary; if we have broken loose from our old safe moorings and are drifting—politically to wards a centralized despotism; financially, no one knows whither—who doubts that this condition of things is largely owing to tbe malign influence exerted by political preachers at the North over the minds and consciences of their resjradive congrega tions, and to the professedly ti,e Church Union? iM, of late, fallen into disreptfil|Pu now seeks to win back some share 57 popular favor by an open confession of Us former evil courses and a solemn promise to amend its ways, are the first hopeful signs of a oliauge for the better we have yet met with. But “one swallow does not make a summer,” and we fear that the penitence of tbe Church Union will have but little effect in softening the malevolence of its contemporaries of a similar stamp. STATE NEWS. Mysterious Murder.—On Saturday night, a negro brought word to police headquarters that a man had beeu found dead at or near Gardner’s place, on Pryor street. Policemau Holland and Lanier proceeded to the spot, and discovered the body of an Italian, who had been stubbed under the ribs on the left side. On his person was found about S2OO, a pair of scissors, a pistol and a knife. He was recognized sb the leader of a band of Italian musicians, who came up here from Macon ou Wednesday last, composed ot two girls (the daughters of the leader,) and five boys. The deceased was named Loulge Leone, and came from Marscoloue, county of Rasacilota, in Italy, and was about forty years of age. This baud was observed goiug iu the di rectiou of the spot where the murder oc curred, on Saturday, and shooting was heard In that neighborhood about, two o’clock iu the afternoon. A boot was found Dear the body of tbe deceased belonging to a member of the band. Coroner William Kilesummoned a jury tbis mornirg and investigated the matter. Nothing wai elicited to warrant the arrest of any parties. Tbe owuer of the boot ex plained tbe circumstance of its being near the body to the satisfaction of ths jury His foot was sore, and he pulh-d it off From tbe testimony adduced, it appears that the hami went there for tbe purpose of gathering flowers, cut one another’s hair, etc. Leone was left-by them sitting at the foot of a tree, they going in search of flowers. They could not see him, be cause they were in a valley with a house and a hill between them and tbe point where he sat. They were horrified and amazed to find him killed. They assert that he was not depressed in mind, and drank nothing intoxicating. '1 hey do uot believe that he committed suicide, and tbe murder is to them a mys terious affair. Wbat is strange is that bis money was undisturbed. Who tbe perpe trator is, or what the moving cause of this horrid murder was, remains enveloped, as yet, in deep mystery. Tbe jury rendered a verdict that tbe de ceased came to his death at the bauds of some party or parties to them unknown. [Atlanta Constitution, 26 th.

S From the Philadelphia Inquirer, April 23. The facts connected with the robbery of a million of dollars in cash, bonds, securi ties, etc., from the Beneficial Savings Fund, at Twelfth and Chestnut streets some four weeks ago, areetiil fresh in the minds of the public. Ever since the day of the theft the detectives have been haid at work endeavoring to ferret out the per petrators of the bpid transaction and re cover tbe stolen treasure. They have ar lested parties on suspicion, but in every instance were obliged to release them for tbe want of testimony. They have night and day piped Cracks man and their associates, and have done all id their power to secure the capture of the noted burglars. They have not suc ceeded in this particular, but have recov ered $500,000 of the stolen bonds. These of course are the registered bands. In what way, or Irotn whom the property was recovered, We are unable Lossy. De tectives Taggart and Smith,>two of thy best officers in town, have bad charge of the c:<se, aud the fact that the affair has been kept a secret, would lead to tbe be lief that they were in hopes of arrestiijjjf the noted cracksmen who so eomplished tbe robbery. ; | «T> The total valne of the property stolen aggregated close on to $1,000,000, $18,00(1 iu cash, a diamond worth $lO 000, negqtia-. able bonds to the value of $70,000, and the' rest in registered bonds, loans and securl ties.

EASTERN TEXAS. Editor: So rn%uy discrepant and contradictory accounts of Texas have been published in tbe papers, in regard to its climate, soil, ssltibrity, etc., I have thought it probable some of yeur renders might like to hear what an old settler bad to say upon the subject. I have resided, almost continuously iu the State ever since 1835, and my business has been suob as to -cnmpeHhe ait parts Os it, at all seasops of the year. I think, therefore, withobt tfflffijjSttfng anything to myself at nil,that I can claim to be well acquaint ed w!tl| epepy portion of the State, aD though the domain comprised within its limits is, perhaps, four or five times as large gar the State of-New York, «nd each portion of it, East, West, North and South, differing, in many material points, the other. It is owing to these differences, principally, that such diverse wodtdiserepaut accounts have been given counted, its climate, soil, produc- ICTona, etc. The majority of persons visit | iug the State form their opinion of tbe whole from what they have actually seen of it (perhaps a very limited portion). For instance, an emigrant settles in what is known as Eastern Texas, or that part of the State lying between the Sabine and I Louisiana line and tbe Trinity river, and without having seen anything else, be writes back to bis friends iu tbe “Old States” that the soil of Texas is fight and sandy—that the country is densely timber ed with pine, oak and hickory—thatrthe country is well watered, aud in many 10-. calities, now, pretty thickly settled—that J corn amtcotton grow well there, but that jvbeat aud most of tbe small grains do not —that intermittant and billious fevers are 'everywhere prevalent, during the summer Reason, etc. Such an account would un doubtedly be a correct one, as far as that portion of the State is concerned, but fteuld do moreapply to Northern or West ern Texas than it would to Kentucky. Again, uu euiigrautsettling inthe West, would probably write back to his friends aDd say that Texas was principally a prairie country ; that the timber was cod fiued mainly t > the streams and water courses ; that there was no pine in tbe /country aud no red oaks; that as a general thing there was but little sand in tbe soil, “and that it was very rich and tenacious in its character; that intermittent and bil lions complaints were not common ex cept in the vicioity of the larger streamsi etc., etc. This would all be true enough; too, but would not apply at all td “ Texas * as a whole. The emigrant to Texas by land, (un less striking far up towards the North east),\ would probably enter the State by the way of Shreveport, Louisiana. From there jto the Trinity River, he would fiud the following description of the country inthe main a correct one. Heavily tim bered with yellow pine, red oak, post oaki black jack, hickory, dogwood, sassafras, persimmon, etc., and in tbe bottoms on the streams, water oak, ash, sweet-gum, black gum, magnolia and occasionally the walnut and beech aud maple, (not tbe sugar maple); soil light and sandy aud ap paiently not very rich, but producing both cotton and corn well, vegetables of most all sorts, and most all tbe varieties of Northern fruits. Peaches, figs and plums especially flourish, aud some varieties of tbe Apple. Tbe wild or native fruits are persimmons, haws, plums, blackberries, dewberries, w llol tleberries and grapes, though the lattef 1 are not.so good nor sd abundantas in other parts of tbeState. » There are but few of the natural grasses left in this those who own stock have to depend upon feeding and pasturage—consequently milk and batter are not plentiful. In some localities there is still an abundance of cane growing along tbe watercourses, upon which cattle will keep in tolerable condition. The cli mate of Eastern Texas is very similar to that of lower Georgia, Alabama, Missis sippi and Louisiana, ex :ept that usually there is but little raiu in the fall. Tbe summers are hot and long, but the win ters are pleasant—more so than in North efn or VVestern Texas, where there is comparatively but little timber tO: break the force of severe northers Springs and creeks are numerous and unfailing, and tbe water good; at tbe same time the larger water-courses are sluggish and muddy, and most of them overflow at cer tain seasons of the year. lutermittent and bilious fevers prevail throughout this section, but they are usually mild in tbeir character, and easily controlled or man aged- Though, as I have said, this is not a stock couiitry generally, yet hogs, thrive well everywhere, and good bacon,sufficient for the wants of the country, Is put up during the wlntexseason. I regard Eastern Texas as feeing, per haps, the best cotton growing region in the w°rld, not because tbe lauds are any more productive than those ot South Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida, but simply because from tbe time tbe cotton is sufficiently opened to begin picking, the weather is dry and calm, Witli rarely a killing frost until fre quently long after Übristuias, aud none of I those heavy gales or raiu storms that so often damage the crops iu the States above mentioned. There is almost always am ple time in Eastern Texas to secure tbe who e crop of cottou before any bad weather sets in. Late springs are not un common throughout the State, but cold or bad weather of any sort rarely sets in until sometime,in January. Society in Eastern Texas will compare *fayor«bty with that of most of the South ern States—indeed, it is settled principally by farmers and planters from Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, etc. Good schools will be fouDd in all tbe towns and vil lages, and churches are numerous aud generally well attended. The lands in this region bordering on the bays and Gulf coast, are mostly low, wet and uninviting in every particular, be sides being iDfested with flies and mus quitoes. Tbe fine timber upon these lands, however, and tbeir proximity to. naviga tion. will eventually render them valuable. Os course there are limited localities throughout this region, to which the above description would not be in every respect applicable, nevertheless, as a general des cription of the country, soil, climate, etc., I believe the emigrant wifi find it correct as far as It goes. In my next I will give yon (condensed as much as possible.) a description of tbe ISouthern portion of the State. D. OBITUARY. Departed this lile, near Knoxville, Crawford Loonnty.
