Telegrams and letters, and also publications in the frontier papeis, indicate a nervous fear on the part of the Mexican aathorities,that the State of lexas means to declare war and invade that country, or invade with out declaring war; consequently the Mexicans all along the river,- and north particularly, are making every preparation ' for active hostilities.

Special trains brought large numbers of people to, the city, which was gayly decorated lne feature of the day - was a meet ing which was addressed by Senator Uonkling, who concluded bis remarks as follows: "We need to cherish government of laws, not goverment of men. We need reverence lor the constitution and the laws, and observ ance of them by all, especially by all in authority. The way to insure some of these things is for every man, what ever may be his occupation or posi- tion, to give some thought and action to public affairs. This is the only mode under oar.- system of govern ment in which that system can be made effectual and jaut. It was to insure this right to every man to be heard in the public councils and to be counted in the majority, whose judgment is the final decision in a Re public, that these veterans fought and suffered. On this veterans day it cannot be amiss to remind you'how high is the obligation to discharge the dnty, and to assert and exercise the right for which they did and en dured so much. f: Only a Joke." ? ; Washington, Aug. 24. Postmaster General Key, on his re turn here to-day, found an accumula tioh of private correspondence, some of which was not altogether pleasant reading. ne is not altogether com posed over the manner in which his expression about "erriug brethren' is being received at the Souths He ex plains that unfortunate reference by saying that it was meant to be face tious. It was supposed to- have quo- tatiou marKS aDout it, ana netnoncnt at the time that it was a good joke, and enjoyed it immensely., as did his audience. In the same way his quo tation, "While the lamp holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return. was meant to be facetious, just as llayes misquotation from one of the parables of oar Saviour was intended to be a joke. This explanation is no doubt truthful, but it does seem that both Hayes and Key selected a very inappropriate place to get off bad jokes, at a Methodist camp meeting, and to make a facetious play on such sacred words was altogether un becoming in men who profess to be devout Christians. A School master murdered by a Doe- tor. ; -h ' , Special dispatch to Charleston journal of Commerce. Columbia, Aug. 27. John W. Leckie was shot threo times and instantly killed by Dr. Jno. T.

Wilmlncton Dlatrlet Conference. This body held its 'session, during the past week.with the church at Rocky Point. Every pastor in the District save one was present, and from most of the charges a number of laymen. The sessions of the Conference were ; presided over by that prince of Presiding Elders, Rev. W. S, Black, with his accustomed ease and ur- i banity. The citizens of Reeky Point had labored hard to get their hew and spacious church; in readiness for the occasion, and when it arrived they vied with each other ! in dispensing their kind . hospitalities to such an extent that every visitor and mem ber of the Conference really thought he had the best home in the whole communi ty. .The sessions of the Conference were i I uwuuus, iuicrcsuag aau proutauic. J Rcpbrta from the different charges showed gratifying evidence of material and spirit ual improvement. , Qaite a number of new churches had been built; others repaired, during the year, and in some charges large accessions to the membership. The mis sionary work established by the last Con ference,! iu the bounds of tbe District, has been eminently successful. The question of eslablUhing a District School was postponed until the next ses sion, which is to be held at Whiteville. The usual religious topics bearing on the practical operations of the church in the District were reviewed and discussed,' as thought best, and appropriate resolutions for future action passed. , W. J. Parker, H. H. Council, D. T. Dur ham and J. EL Mallard were elected dele gates to the next Annual Conference. Tbe sessions of tbe body, and the daily and nightly instructions of the pulpit, were attended, by multitudes. The preaching was exceptionally able and edifying, and no doubt lasting impressions for good were tad on the community. , E. Canoe Kaee To-JDay.

Monday and permanently established the seat of justice of Pender at that point, together with the i location of the site for a Court House and other public buildings. These are located on Fremont street, on (be seventy-three acres of land donated by the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad Company. Our cor respondent adds: "So Burgaw is at last, and justly, too, the county site of Pender, and although the contest has been one long to be remembered by her citizens, I am glad to say that now harmony, unity, and the best of feeling seems to prevail, the hatchet having been buried with the helve foremost.".
