Chinxsc Wa«fa*e.—A letter in the Norfolk (Va)
Argus, describing the late battle between the Allie8
and the Chinese, rays :
A Dr.Tumbull, who stopped in the rear of one of
the companies to administer relief to a wounded man,
was adroitly lassoed by an active Chinaman, who
sprang out from his hiding place behind a tree, and
quickly drew the noose over his head ; and then, in
order to make his prize sure, he undertook to practice
a little surgery upon his choking captive, and soon
succeeded in cutting off his head.
UP The Austin Intelligencer has received a let-
ter, giving a brief report of General Houston's late
speech at Danville. It says:
_ "He dealt in no personalities bnt only upon poli-
tical topics. He condemed Taney and the South-
ern Leaguers, and denied that it was possible for
such a party to make iiuadw.y in Texa - He ex-
pressed bis devotion to U «Wra, me President,
and the Administration. Our informant, an old
DemocrBt,uya>t wastba bast effort of the Gen-'s
life, and promises us a farther report of the speech."
Saitt.—The Richmond Enquirer says there is
one square mile of land between Smith and Wash-
ington counties, Va., on the North fork of the
Halston river, which is worth more than the whole
valuation of the city of New Tork. The salt rock,
within this mile, ranges from seventy to one hund-
red feet in thickness, which would yield a net ton,
or forty bushels, of salt to every solid yard It con'
tains, or over three thousand millions of bushels 1
whioh, when manufactured, is worth from forty to
fifty cents per bushel. But, presuming it to be
worth twenty cents per bushel in the ground, and
we have six hundred millions of dollars! By this
mode of estimating what is the value of the Salt
Lakes of Western Texas, where two bushels of salt
come back spontaneously to supply the place of
every bushel removed ?
" Away up in Vabmount the weather is fre-
quently eold, but the people profess to grow hot
and boil over, nevertheless. They are great on
Conventions and niggers up there. They had one
of their State Conventions recently at West Ban-
dolph, Bev. J. Clafln, E. Hebard, J. Hutchison,
W. S. May, jr., Parker Pillsbury, of New Hamp-
shire, W. Dyer and Mr. Garrison of Boston, figur.
ing, speaking, &c.
The passed resolutions, declaring that they had
"but one object and view, the Immediate liberation
««of the slave; and pronouncing that statesmanship
"to be folly which leaves the freedom of the slave
"out of sight, that patriotism to be hollow which
"doe* not break his fetters, and that piety to be spu-
"rious whioh does not hail him as a man and a
"brother." They further declare as follows :
"That we shall allow nothing to stand between
the slave and his emancipation—neither political
party nor religious sect, neither parchments nor
oompaet, neither Constitutions nor Unions ; but
shall press through them alitor over them all, di-
verted by no side issue, intimidated by no menace,
appalled by no danger, till we break bis yoke and
place him, redeemed and disenthralled, upon the
world wide platform of a common humanity.
Jletolvtd, "That we register our testimony against
the American Chureh, the popular religion and the
Governmentof the United States, because by their
deliberate consent and active cooperation four mil-
lions of our countrymen are held in the galling
ohaina of bondaga, whose emancipation is resisted
by them with exceeding obduracy of spirit and
malignity of purpose."
All right. When fanaticism takes the rabies
thus all sensible men, both North and South avoid
it. It is only when it assumes the specious and
plausible shapes of Bepubiicanism and Freesoil
ism that it misleads the unwary and becomes dan
gerous to the peace of the country.
ta " A correspondent of the Texas Staats Zeit-
ung, writing from El Faso, on the 8th ult., gives
the following items of news :
On the 5th inst., a Mexican murdered his wife in
manner; and on the 8th he was arrested
~iythe Sheriff, a Mexican, and taken to Court. On
the way there Ave Americans demanded that the
sheriff should give up his prisoner to be hung. The
sheriff resolutely opposed the demand, when one of
the Ave, M , in the quarrel, shot him in the
baok. At this the prisoner Btarted off, and avoided
a rope thrown after him. A number of shots were
fired at blm, but he succeeded in reaching the Bio
Grande, and is now in Mexico. The father of the
sheriff, with nine men, went in pursuit of the
Americans, but with what result is not yet known.
M-* 's whereabouts is unknown, but it is believed
that he is lying hid until his train shall start for
San Antonio. The recovery of the sheriff is con-
sidered doubtful.
set lñ a y ear go In financial matters, had
anal effect of1 cutting dawn the importatior
of foreign goods and the reduction of the revenue
of the United State* from duties on each goods,
was not th^result of the tariff,bnt the natar-
laws of tnmSpd the falling off in imports would
have taken place even with no duties. The dimin-
ution of the revenue would doubtless have been as
great with a high as with a low tariff. We
however, that an effort is making to induce the next
Congress to increase the dutiee, under the pretext
that the revenue will thereby be increased. A
Washington letter makes the following remarks
upon thia subject:
It is a year since the commercial revolution began
with the failure of the Ohio Life and Truat Com-
pany. It is not yet ended, and the public revenue
ia perhaps yet to experience its severeet effects. The
country has not recovered from it, and eannot for
some time. Businsss is dull, even in its gnat cen-
tres, while in the interior there ia a continued state
of atagnation. There is no active circulation of
money in the country, though there is a considera-
ble accumulation of idle capital.
This is the period of the year when business is
ordinarily most active—when importations are larg-
est and when the country dealers buy in their stocks
But we see thst instead of an importation at New
Tork of over six millions for the third week in Au-
gust, as in 1856, the amount for the last week was
less than three millions. The revenue fell off in the
same or greater ratio.
There is a growing disposition at the North to
impute the deficiency in the revenue and the de-
pression of business to the tariff of March, 1857.
But nothing could be further remote than is the
alleged cause from the assumed consequences. The
tariff of 1857 had not exhibited Its effects when the
revulsion commenced and utterly deranged the bus-
iness and currency of the country,.and reduced the
revenue. It had no effect unless it waa in brib-
ing into the country some goods in ujvanoe of its
operation, which, so far as they havebeen thrown
on the market, have been sold at a sacrifice. A
high tariff, if it existed, oould not create a market
for goods, either foreign or domestic, thst the coun-
try does not want and is unable to pay for. It is
by no means certain that a resort to a high tariff by
Congress at the next session wiil Increase the reve-
nue, unless there should occur atjthe same time,
and from other causes, a general revival of trade
and business; and, under such a recuperation, the
revenue would rise without a change in the tariff.
Sanitary Condition of Houston.
Eds. Civilian.—Thinking something authentic on
the subject ofthe true state of the'health of Houston
will be interesting, 1 send you the within for publica-
tion:
Retained, That after making dilligent examination
into the sanitary condition of our city, there exists, in
our minds, great doubts as to there having occurred
a single case of yellow fever in this city during the
current year.
Passed with but one dissenting voice.
The above is a true copy from the minutes of the
Board of Health of the city of Houston, at a meeting
held 28th September, 1858.
JAMES BURKE, Sec. pro tern.
To the above I would state that, I learn from good
authority, there has not been a single death from any
cause, in the city of Houston, for a week ending to-
day, Thursday, Sept 30th, 1858. I know of scarcely
any sickness of any kind in the c ity. B.

Artesian Well Expedition.
A letter to the Austin Intelligencer from Capt Pope's
Camp on the Pecos, says that the party was just on
the point of leaving that place; and adds—
I believe it is now pretty well understood, that the
completion of a well in this plain would cost more
than Congress could be reasonably expected to appro-
priate; ana it would not be carrying out the intentions
of that body, when voting the appropriation of one
hundred thousand dollars, to expend all that suui at
one particular point, to the total neglect of others, not
less important.
The geological structure of this plain is a singular
One, presenting features widely different from any-
thing heretofore known. The greater the depth to
which na^g«netrate- the greater and more outre be-
come the uimculllcs itnrat-prv^tcot^ — - —
which we have attained, (1,050 feel) the formation is
just as soft, as rotten, and crumbling, as at the surface
and tubing is still necessary below, in order to pre-
vent the soft strata from falling in- But this tubing
we find impossible to get down with our present appa
ntus, and the tubing which we have is not the kind
for this work. But you may ask, why not procure
the editable apparatus and tubing 1 "Ah, there's the
rub!" The cost of transportation alone for the ne-
cessary material, would exhaust}ihe portion of the ap-
propriation not hitherto expended; and as our present
material is perfectly available for the works at other
points, it is surely more prudent and economical to
transfer to some one of them our apparatus and men,
and commence operations elsewhere, with better pros-
pects of success.
Although we are compelled to abandon this work
unfinished, lam sanguine in my hopes of our being
able to accomplish the greater part of the object for
which our appropriation was granted. Our difficul-
ties, physical and mechanical, will be much less on
the Rio Grande than here, for besides the different
geological structure to be penetrated, our iron and
machinery will be no longer devoured by the corro-
sive acids Of the Pecos waters.
Amine bis.—We lesrn from the Boston Ledger
that a sals of 750 lbs. ambergris was made in that
olty on the 13th inst.,for the snm of $10,000 and
E which the purchaser will probably realize
00. It was taken from one whale, and brought
I in a ship recently at Nantucket. This sub-
stance ia a morbid secretion of the liver of the sper-
msoeti whale, aad is generally used, in its alcoholic
solution, ae a perfume. It ia usually found in lumps
of from one to thirty pounds in weight, and the
larget t hitherto known, weighing 183 lbs., was
in poeseesion ofthe East India Company of the King
of Tidore. Another piece found inside of a wbale
near the Windward Island, waa sold for £200 sterl-
ing- ^
Waoon Bo ad aoboss thi Wacbita Mountains.
Mr. Lander, Superintendent of the Fort Kearny,
South Pase, aad Honey Lake Wagon Boad announ-
ces to the Secretary of the Interior the opening of
the road acroee the first three great ranges of the
Waohita Mountains, the moet difficult part of the
work. Loaded trains have already passed by this
way from the South Psss to the valley of Smith
Fork of Bear Biver. The Wind Blver Mountain
line and that extending along the open valleys of
Salt and Blackfoot rivers will soon be finished, af-
fording a well built road which will avoid the de-
sert, the ftrriee over Green river and four toll
bridges on the lower streams. The road,'when com-
Setsd, will extend from the South Psss to Pont
enf Bridge, near Fort Hall, with a cut off to Hed-
speth's road to Soda Springs.
rthanks are due Mr. P. W. Grymes, clerk

More Indian Depredations.—We have received
a letter from Judge Everts detailing the circumstances
of the murder, by the Indians, of several families on
tha head of Denton and Clear creeks, in Montague
county. The circumstances are of startling interest.
We would be glad to puclish the Judge's letter in full
but must postpone it for want of help in our mechan
iml department, this week.
The report is no longer a rumor, but is true. The
Judge says that he and others hastened to the spot
and found that the Indians had gone towards Bee
River; they pursued them to the head of Big Elm.
being joined by twelve men from Gainsville, but ow-
ing to their small force and scarcity of provisions,
they thought it advisable for them to return and pro-
cure additional aid, with a sufficient supply of pro-
visions to enable them to march to Kickapoo village
and give them a severe chastising.
The frontier is calling upon us for immediate as-
sistance. One hundred and fifty men are thonght to
be sufficient! Cannot Grayson furnish that amount
of men, fully armed and equipped for a thirty days'
campaign ? we think she can. All who goe are re-
quested to be furnished with provisions for the above
length of time. The company will meet on the fron-
tier, at James';Buchanan's, on Saturday the 18th inst.

nominally so, the import duty being only % per
cedt. ad,valorem, and the export duty % per cent.
ad valorem.
To give you some idea of her commerce, it is only
necessary to state that there arrived at this port
during the year 1857, from all oountries and all
classes, 584 vessels, and the departure# for the same
period were 520 veseels. Of this number the ar-
rivals from the United States were 184 ships and 28
steamers, and the departures to the same country
were 282 ships and 23 steamers.
Her peculiar pride are her magnificent public
grounds, laid out moet tastefully, and shaded with
almost every variety of trees, not unlike añ Eng-
lish park, with a fine stream of running water pas-
sing through the centre of them, on which all sorts
of water fowl are sporting; her celebrated wine-
celler, in which one can always find the finest Rhine
wine, some of it said to be over two hundred years
old; and the vaalt in the Dota, called the Lead Cel-
lar, which possesses the peculiar property of pre-
venting decomposition from taking place in dead
bodies, as a proof of which several bodies are
shown, one or two of which are said to have been
deposited there some three hundred years sgo.
The emigration from this port last year to the
United States was a fraction over forty thousand
touls—this year it will not probably exceed one-
half that amount.
Bremen was at one time one of the largest cigar
manufacturing places in the worid, but' owing to
the operations of the Zottverein, or German Cus:
toms' Association, and the fact that she refused to
join that league, the manufacture of segara have
been removed to the adjoining territory of Han-
orer.
The total amount of cotton received at this port
last year was 81,000,OOOB>s., valued at 3,800,000 rix
tbalers. Of this araouLt there were imported from
Great Britain 1,900,001.9 ., New York 8,400,0003>".,
Charleston SO,UO,OOOS>s., Savannah 400,OOOfts., New
Orleans28,000,00Jlb--., Galveston 2,8000001bs, Wes'
Indies 52,OOOfts., Venezuela 88,OOOB>s., and from tbe
British East Indies 6,500,OOOIbs. The ayerage price
per ponnd of North American cotton during thp
year was about 15% grotes per ponnd (the Bremen
grote being worth a fraction over an American cent)
Bay 16 centB per ponnd. The trade thus far this
year seems to indicate a larger importation than
last, while tbe price varies bnt little from the gen-
eral ave rage of last year. There will be at the samé
time a considerable falling off in the receipts from
the British East Indies, the average price of which
last year was abont 10J¿ cents per pound.
Last week cotton was dull, only abont 500 bales
having changed bands. This was owing to|tho non
arrival of the news by the Cunard steamer—parties
preferring to bold rather than sell withont advice
from the other side. Middling New Orleans 15 and
15% grotes.
To-day 1100 bales Texas cotton, averaging low
middling, sold at 14% grotes. The market is firm
with prices looking np.

of the parties hailed. We believe no one blantee the
Sheriff for the escape of these prisoners.
Bbmoval.—Chas. Lemmerman, formerly of the
Travellers' Retreat, it will be seen by his advertise
ment in this day's paper, has taken the Union Ho-
tel, situated on the Strand, near the cotton press.
He invites a share of public patronage, and his house
is eligibly situated.
Tna Epidemic.—Several deaths are recordod this
morning. These will be found nnder the head of
interments. In the Weekly Civilian of Tuesday
next, we will publish a list of all who have died
since the commencement of the fever. We ack-
nowledge ourselves indebted to Mr. Flake, editor of
the Union and Mr. Drew, the attentive and worthy
City Sexton for these favors. That a single death
has occurred in this town that we' have not truly
recorded we do not believe.
The Comet.—The comet is now visible in the
north west quarter of the heavens. It may be read-
ily found by directing the eye, at about fifteen min-
utes past Be ven, on any clear evening, to the north-
western horizon, and ranging with the two stars
known as the pointers—the comet being abont as
far to the left of the pointers as the North Star is to
their right. Viewed through the telescope, it ex-
hibits a distinct nucleus and tolerable well defined
tail. Tbe comet is becoming brighter nightly, but
its brilliancy will soon be materially diminished by
the moon. In consequence of its slowness of mo
Hon, its period of visibility will be very great. It
has already been vlBible through a telescope nearly
two months and a half; and it will probably remaiD
in sight for a considerable length of time yet. The
head, or ¿tor of the oomet, appears about equal to a
star of the second magnitude ; and as it has not yet
reached the perihelion(tbat point nearest tothesun)
of its orbit, it will yet be considerably brighter, snd
present a splenidd appearance.
The longitude of the perihelion of this comet is
about 80 degrees, and ot the ascending mode about
166 degrees. The perihelion distance is about 40,-
000,000 miles or a little greater than the mean dis-
tance of Mercury from the Sun. Its motion is ret-
rogade, so that its apparent motion íb from right to
left, as at this time. The velocity of the comet, when
at its perihelion, will be about 150,000 miles per
hour. Its distance from the earth a ; this time, rough,
ly estimated, is about 87,000,000 miles. Its tail ia at
least 6,000,000 miles in length. As tbe comet is quite
near the horizon, those wishing to see it advanta-
geously should make their observations from an el
vated stand point.
Mobe About the Indians—Seven Men Killed 11
In our last we gave an account of the murder of
two men and wounding another, by the Indians,
and the escape of a lady. Since then we have learn-
ed that this woman remained out from Tnesdayjun-
til Friday before she was found, was wild; and when
caught, she imagined they were the Indians and
begged the men to kill her and save her child, the
infant she had carried with her, and it was some
time before sbe could be assured they were her
friends. The Indians, after committing the mur-
ders above referred to, started up North and coming
to where some men, seven in number, were raising:
a house, outside of the settlements, at once attackec
them and killed every man.—Zrontier Neuts.
Brutal Xreatii^ent of a Deserter.
A Texas correspondent of the Louisville Journal
gives the following particulars of the brutal treat-
ment of aman named Harrington, a deserter from
Camp Colorado, who bad been recaptured. He waa
a native of Louisville :
Toung Harrington was enlisted for the Second
Cavalry, but deserted and brought back from Fort
Smith. The citizen that brought bim back mnst
have been more of a fiend than human. He trav-
eled day and night, and until ten o'clock the next
day without giving him a mouthful to eat.
Capt. N. G. Evans, of the regiment, was at the
Fort at the time, and Harrington was put in bis
company, and that day he hud to walk 12 miles,
handcuffed and dragging a ball and chain, before
he got anything to eat. The second day's march
from Fort Smith was over a road called the "Nar-
rows," the 'roughest that wagons ever travel,
suppose. The wagons, in going over it, would
bounce and slide off from rocks four feet at a time.
On the morning of th; second d ,y the Capt
ordered Harrington to be tied by the hands closo np
to the tailgate ofthe wagon. At that time his wrist
and fingers were so swollen that he c> uld not beud
them. The sentry who was put over him says that
for more than 100 times the ball which was attach
ed to him by a chain and placed in the feed box,
would, when the wagon came ont of a hole or slid
off a rock, jerk his feet from nnder him and all his
weight would come on his wrist, and his breast,
striking the feed-box. The sentry, who saw that the
man was almost dead, toot the responsibility to
let him get in_the wagon out of the snn and dust,
snd gave him water to drink. He began to revive
and feel better, when the sergeant of the guard
came up and raised h—1, and made the sentry tie
tbe poor fellow np again. He did not go more
than three miles, before the sergeant, seeing that
the man was almost dead, ordered him to be cut
down ; but before he reached the ground, he breath-
ed his last.
Harrington's breast was beat almost to a jelly,
and his back, from his chin down, was as black as
could be. Ho told them, in the morning, that if he
had to walk that day, tied to the wagon, he would
be a dead man before night. He begged and pray-
ed them to shoot him, and pnt him ont of his mis-
ery.
The San Dieoo Mail.—The San Diego mail ar-
rived in San Antonio on Tuesday night, at ten o'-
clock. By this arrival we have San Francisco and
San Diego papers to the 21st nit., inclusive.
The citizens of San Diego anticipated an attack
from a band of desperadoes, fugitives from justice,
then on the frontier of Lower California. It was
thought they would attack the place, supply them-
selves with provisiens and other necessaries, and
take vengeance upon those of the citizens who had
been instrumental In trying to briDgto justiee eorfae
of their number. The most intense excitement
prevailed, and preparations were making to give
the tgsasai .—— r~S1 «itizens are on
guaro each night, and the Herald nrges opon nre
commander of the Pacifio Division the necessity of
a military post at that point. In addition to the
danger above presented the people of San Diego are
surrounded by an Indian population of moro than
twenty to one American.
The news from San Francisco is principally of
local interest.—San Antonio Ledger.
Scientific Pabadoxes—The water which drowns
us, a fluent stream, can be walked upon as ico. The
bullet, which, when fired from a musket, carries
death, will be harmless if ground to dust before
being fired. The cryetalized part of the oil of roses
so graceful in its fragrance—a solid at ordinary
temperatures, though readily volatile—is a com-
pound substance, containing exactly the same pro-
portions, as the gas with which we light our streets.
The tea which we daily drink, with benefit and
pleasure, produces palpitations, nervous trembliogs
and even paralysis, if taken in excess ; yet the pe-
culiar organic agent called theine, to which tea
owes its qualities, may be taken by itself (as theine,
not as tea,) without any appreciable effect. The
water which will allay our burning tfiirst, aug-
ments it when congealed into snow ; so that Capt.
Ross declares the natives of the Arctic regions
prefer enduring the utmost extremity of thirst
rather than attempt to remove it by eating snow."
Yet if the snow be melted, it becomes drinkable
water. Nevertheless, although, if melted before
entering the month,' it assuages thirst like other
water, when melted in the mouth it has the oppo-
site effect. To render this paradox mere striking,
we have only to remember that ice, which melts
more slowly in the mouth, is very efficient in al-
laying thirst.—Blackwood.
The Floweb Gabden.—Collect seeds of all annu-
als, and preserve them carefully. Bud oranges and
lemons, and propogate aloes and the cacti (or cac-
tus) by slips. Sow bulbous rooted fiowor seeds to
obtain new varieties. Stake your dahlies and thin
out your flowers, if too profuse. Clip box edgeings
in moist weather. Cut and roll grass plots and
lawns. Clean up walks, put on fresh gravel, and
roll smoothly. Water your potted annuals and
Other plants daily in hot weather. Sow tulip and
other bulb seeds. Gather all valuable seed as soon
as ripe, and save for future use. Use water fre-
quently, as heretofore directed.—[5oi/Mcrn Cultiva-
tor.
SraecLAB Excuse.—The Annapolis Gazette tells
the following story of a citizen of that place :
_ "A person better known for his wealth than for
liberality, was requested to aid In the erection of a
church. The book was placed in his hands. He
looked at it anxiously and earnestly, and handed
it back with the astounding remark ; 'No sir f I
will not give anything; not half as many people go

Indian Idols.—Bev. Wm. Butler, who went from
Massachusetts, as missionary from the Methodist
Church, to India, in a recent letter home, says:
"1 forwarded from Delhi a box of idols and curi
osities for yonr Missionary Museum. The box has
reached Calcutta, and has been put on board of a
Boston ship ; the name and date of sailing I hope
to send in my next. Four of the idols are uninjured
they are of marble, and some of them especially
well executed. Those four are Guneth, Buddh, Bal-
gapal, and Bunneman. The others, {Baba, wife of
Krishna Mahadca and Parbulti) have been injured
by the Sepoys ofthe Mohammedan regiments. Be
sides 'the gods,' you will find other objects of in-
terest ; among these are two marble slabs, which 1
took out of the Jnmma Musjeed, bearing, the Mo-
hammedan say, the print of Mohammed's hand and
foot, miraculously impressed In them. These slabs
have been regarded by the followers of 'the false
prophet' with religious veneration. You will also
find a very valuable copy of the Koran, annotated
with illuminated letter, which was also taken out
of the Jumma Musjeed, and a cap of state belong-
ing to one of the princes of Delhi. It is of velvet
and gold. The persontwho Mooted' it in the palace
took tbe four emeralds which were suspended at
the corners, and not valuing the cap afterward, it
passed into my hands, and so I send it to you as a
relic of the honse of Tamerlane. There is also a
native bridal dress, and, of course, a piece of shell
and round shot from the 'battle field,' and a frag-
ment of the Jumma Musjeed added to the collection.
The interest of those objects will increase with time.
They will be looked at with no common interest
when that day arrives in which India shall be re-
deemed.
Each of the gods sent has been actually worship-
ped by multitudes of dark idolaters. To every ob-
ject forwarded, I have attached a brief memoir."

cotton.
Houston.—The Telegraph of yesterday says the
past week has been one of a good degree of trade,
moitly, however, by orders, as but a few from the
country have ventured in since the danger of tbe
fever visiting us has existed. The receipts of cotton
t>r tbe week ending Thursday, were 2,789 bales ;
receipts of the month 8,778. The Telegraph says :
We hear another new case of yellow fever report
ed on the same block, on which most of the others
reported have been taken. It is that the North Mbíd
xtreet corner of which is occupied by the President's
House.
Yellow Fever at New Orleans.
For the week ending lost Monday morning, the
Board bf Health returns show the total deaths to
have been 619, of which 444 were from yellow
fever.
The Board of Health reported sixty as tbe num-
ber of deaths by yellow fever for the 24 hours end-
ing Tuesday noon.
The numbor of deaths from yellow fever through-
out the city, for the 24 hours ended at noon Wed-
nesday, according to the returns of the Board of
Health, amonnted to 69.
The number of deaths from yellow fever In the
Charity Hospital during the 26 hours ending at 6 p.
m. on Sunday amonnted to 9. Those during the 24
hours ended at 6 o'clock Monday evening amouted
to 18. The admissions continue high. They amount,
ed on Monday to 51.
Mobile.—On the 24th the deaths by yellow fever
were three ; on the 25th, five.
Yellow Feveb at Richmond, (Va.)—The Rich-
mond South says there are now at the Small Pox
Hospital at that place, three seamen,named Matthew
Sylva, Peter Polyment and Wm. Pengelly, lying
sick of decided yellow fever, one of them so ill that
bis recovery is very doubtful. These men were
brought up to the hospital from a lumber laden
brig from Savannah, lying below the bar at Rock-
etts.
Pbomft.—Ex-Governor Bontwell told tbo fol-
lowing at a recent Educational Convention at Pitts-
field :
"A Yankee schoolmaster went over from Massa-
chusetts into Yorh State last fall and engaged
school. He was told that there was one family of
unruly boys who had turned the last teacher out ot
doors, and would try tbe game on him. The new
master resolved to begin with a firm hand, and es-
tablish his authority at the outset. On the first day
of school all went on smoothly"; none of the rebel-
lious family—the Litchfields—were there. The next
day the same. On the third day a stout young fel
low of eighteen or nineteen appeared ; and when
the teacher asked his name, to record it, he learned
it was Litchfield. 'Ah, your name is Litchfield 1
Just step out here.' And bringing him into the
middle of the floor, he commenced whaling him
with all his might, till the frightened youth fled for
his life.
'There',said the triumphant pedagogue,'Innder-
stand those Litchfields threatened to turn me out of
doors, but we'll see who is master here !'
The boys laughed and seemed to enjoy it so much
that the excited hero of tbe birch demanded an ex-
planation, and found to his dismay that he had
flogged the wrong youth—a very inoffensive lad of
a highly respectable family, whose name had led to
a mistake. The schoolmaster thought 'a Btich in
time would save nine,' bnt, unfortunately, he took
it in the wrong place."
* New Cotton House—Mr. John Muller has open-
ed an office in this city for the purpose of transact-
ing a general commission business, under his own
name and on his sole account.
He solicits, more particularly, orders for cotton,
or the consignment to his addrees3 of such vessels
as may be directed to this port from Europe, and
promises to devote his entire time and undivided
attention to any business confided to his care.
Having for the last ten years been a resident of
this city, engaged in active business—for two years
as a partner in tbe firm of Messrs. R. & D.G. Mills
—he possesses all the knowledge ofthe trade in this
city and State that may be requisite, in order to do
justice to his constituents.
Lavaca, Dr. Royall says is a fine country of lands
and, like the West generally, has a large surplus to
feed emigrants. Hallettsville, the county seat, is
still improving, both in buildings and business, and
is not surpassed in educational advantages by any
place in Texas, having good male and female schools
and a splendid seminary building, equal to any in
the state.
English and American Watches and Clocks.
It Íb stated that in a single district in thd city of Lon-
don, there are sixteen hundred watchmakers, that is,
those who put the movements together, and supply all
the delicate parts of the mechanism, such as the spring
and the escapement; they also provide the case and
the dial plate,.but have nothing to do with repairing
or putting together the works, or manufacturing the
wheels. The degree of the skilled labor employed in
these several branches necessarily varies, according
to the quality ofthe instrument to be produced, from
the ordinary metal watch to the most luxurious re
peater. With some exceptions, the artizara do not
work in large factories- They are subdivided accord-
ing to their respective qualities, among small estab-
lishments. where a master has several men receiving
wages for performing one particular branch of work;
or the artizan himself, in his own home, may be an
escapement maker, a spring maker, a fusee maker, a
maker of hands, an enameller, an engine-turner, a
jewelled pivot hole maker.
Within the last few years, American clocks have
been extensively sold in England. People would once
hare thought that the business of clockmaking in
England would be at an end, if it had^been predicted
that in one year she would import, as has been the
case, a hundred and forty thousand clocks. The
goodness and cheapness ofthe American article have
carried a clock into many a house, that without them
would have been deficient of so desirable an instru-
ment. They are produced by factory labor, and each
clock passes through sixty different hands, bnt in every
stage ihe most scientific applications of machinery are
employed. '
United States Gband Lodge or Odd Fellows.
The Grand Lodge met at Washington City on the
20th S|ptember, with all the acting officers present.
The ipeeial committee, to whom was referred the
revision and mergment of tbe subordinate and en-
campment work, reported that under existing cir-
cumataaces it is impracticable. Such a step would
necessafcly abolish the Grand Encampment.
The ^>dge went into the election of Grand Offi-
cers. On the 4th ballot, P. G. M. Samuel Creig-
head, of Ohio, was elected Grand Sire; P. G. M.
Ed. H. Fitzhugh, of Va., R. W. D. G. Sire ; P. G.
M.James, L. Rldgely, of Maryland, R. W. G. C.
and R. Secretary ; M. W\ G. M. Joshua Vansantof
Maryland, R. W. G. Treasurer.
Resolutions were adopted fixing the per diom of
members at $8, the mileage at 5 cents per mile by
the nearest route, and to adjourn sin; die on Sat-
urday.
Rep. Hoke, of N. C,. offered a sesolntion to fix the
period ofservice of officers of subordinate lodges at
twelve instead of six months, which was referred
to the appropriate oommittee. _
The Grand Lodge has received reports of the state
Of the Order in the United States for the past year
The only States which report a positive prosperity
are New Jersy, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missiouri
and Louisiana, and Canada West. In Canada East
the Order has died out; in New York it make9 no
progress ; while in Virginia and Kentucky there is
a perceptible falling off.
Dkep Plowing.—Mr. J. T. Sergeant, of New
Jersey, writes to the Genesee farm"r upon the sub-
ject of deep plowing as follows: There seems to
exist quite a diversity of opinions In regard to the
proper depth that land should be plowed. Many,
and, in my opinion, too man advocate shallow
plowing. What is the use, they say, of plowing
up the sand and cliy, .and burying the manure
and the a il out of the reach of the plants? Lst
us reason togethe -. What is the use of plowing
at all? Is it nit that we may pulverize the soil
and bring it to such a state that the little roots and
fibres of the plane may shoot out and gather up
whatever they can find to nourish them? Is it not
to incorporate the manure w th the soil and make
it or a uniform consistency a3 it regards qualitv
etc.? Now the deeper ytm make the soil, the
deeper will the roots penetrate, and the more nour-
ishment will they be likely to find, aud the less
liable will they be to injuries from drought. Plow
deep. Dont fear burying the manure so deep that
the roots will not find it Í they can and will go as
deep as you can by any plowing ever made. It is
possible you may not realize to good a crop the
first year by burying the manure deeply. You will
not lose. The next year you will have deeper soil,
and in a short time your land will of course be
nearly double the depth of soil. What makes
bottom lands so much better than most uplands?
Is it not the depth of soil? If you think you have
not manure sufficient to make such a soil the first
year, or must have tbe benefit immediately, act ac-
cordingly but begin immediately. If you can plow
but four inches this year, plow six the next, and
increase annually till you get the soil deeper than
you can get the point ot your plow. I may appear
somewhat dogmatical in my advice; but this is of
small consequence provided I can drgmatize some
into the practice who are now utterly opposed to
it. What runs a farm out, as it is called ? Is it
not shoal plowing—a scratch over the 3oil, as if
you "Were alraid of getting out of the reach of the
sun and air ? I verily believe this ia the principal
cause : aud the remedy must be the reverse course
of management.
7 th
^Cornet of 1858.—The Albany Argus of the
ins'., says :
This remarkable comet, we are informed, is now
visible to the naked eye, as predicted by Dr. Gould
some week3 ago. It is now only 140,000,000 of
miles distant, and is very rapidly approaching the
earth, and already shows through a eommou opera-
glass a well defined tail. We are told that during
the first week in October the comet will be of the
most striking brightness, possibly the largestlof the
century, and at that time will be seen near Arctarus
perhaps even surpassing that brilliant star in
splendor | It is now visible for about an hour after
sunset, and an hour before sunrise, in a line ¿with
the two stars called pointers, and forming nearly a
right angle between these and Arcturus. It is now
best seen at four o' clock in the morning.
Dr. Gould also suggested in the last number of
his journal that from the similarity of the elements,
it was possible that this comet was identical with
the first comet of 1857, and also that of 17S4.
This fact seems now from the recent observations,
almost certain, affording a reasonable presumption
that it is a periodic comet, who*e period ú abont
•1 yean.
What Female Eduoation Should Be.—Now
what ought all young ladies to learn « First, to
speak and write English eorreotly, and to read it
aloud and fluently. Next, to do plain needlework.
It is a great mistake to think that wealth can sup-
ercede tbe necessity of ■this. In tbe first place, this
is the most feminine of ocenpatlons; nexr, it affords
even the stupidest an opportunity of doing one thing
well, without being attracted by tbe display thai
usually attends excellence ; and lastly it is a most
valuable preporation tor auseful intercourse with the
poor. Then must come the rudiments of geography,
history, and ciphering, and as much French as the
ratural ability of the student renders possible.
Nothing more is necessary except dancing ; all else
should depend upon natural gifts and personal
tastes.
Scarcely any woman can ever be so well learned
or clever that it becomes a matter of indifference
whether she is also good looking, yet sbe may eas-
ily acquire a proficienoy which will he a source of
genuine satisfaction to herself and friends. Itmust,
however, be conceded that it is possible to range all
under the head of stupid and clever ; and that some
common ground of general eduoation is wanting,
which must awaken and develop their powers as
they grow into young women.
Incomparably tbe best instrument for meeting
this want is to be found Id the study of Btandard
English literature. This will elevate, excite, and
steady them, and make them rtttionaly proud to
think that they are called on "to suckle fools and
chroniota small beer" in a great and free country.
Accomplishment is quite a secondary matter. If
men do not get tired ot the songs, they soon get
tired of the singer, if she can do nothing hut sing.
What is really wanted in a woman is that they
should be a permanently pleasant companion.

Called Session.—Some of our exchanges are ad-
vocating an extra session of the Legislature. We
trust that it will not take place. Certainly no emer-
gency for such a session is apparent. Tbe expense
would be very great, aud the good to be accom-
plished by no means certain.
|3?~ The Waco Democrat learns that a man by
the name of Edminston was killed by the Indians
near Belknap, on last Snnday week. The deceased

Retubned.—Mr. J. Sorley returned home last
evening on the Fashion. He reports the health of
Mobile good, bnt two or three deaths occurring
daily.
On the passage from Mobile, Mrs. Mary Cone,
whose husband was bnried from the Columbia House
in this city, one week ago, died of general debility,
Oct. 2.
Bubolebt—The store of Mr. Gillett, corner of
Church and 24th streets, was broken open about 8
o'clock on Sunday morning, but the thief or thieves
were alarmed and fled before they secured their
plunder. An old petticoat was found on tbe pre-
mises, in which it is supposed the rogues intended
to carry off their booty. We mean no pun, although
the establishment belonged to a boot and shoe-
maker.
The Howabd Association.—Tbe self-sacrificing
devotion which the gentlemen composing this so
ciety, have manifested since tbe outbreak of the
epidemic, deserves, and we believe, receives the un-
stinted praise of tbe community. The timed and
unaeclimated are justified in keeping aloof from the
disease ; but without money and without price,
the members of the Howard Association have do? 9,
and are still doing their duty.
Where similar associations exist In other commu-
nities, where this scourge ofthe South prevails, it is
customary for the "Howards" to take charge ofthe
money and effects of those who are placed under
their care , if they have no immediate friends in
whom to confide—many—very many of those who
have died in Galveston were utter strangers. If
they had means to defray their expenses, they were
so appalled at the first attack of the disease, that
they "knew not what they did," and the Howard
Asaociation, true to the instincts of the great phi-
lanthropist from whom they derive their name,
may not have thought of the possibility of there be-
ing means in the possession of the patient which
would have rendered them independent of pecuni
ary Assistance. It is a duty which the Association
owe to the needy, that they should guard them-
selves from a chance of peculation, by nurses and
others, whom they are forced to oall in to attend the
siok and the dying. In this community Buch in-
stances must, of course, be rare, but in other cities,
these evils do exist.
We have been led into these remarks by reading
a private letter which we have just been shown from
a gentlemen in Columbus, Georgia, having refer-
ence to one of the earliest deaths that took place in
Galveston, during the present season. For the sake
of common humanity, honesty, and the reputation
of our city, we hope that there is some error in what
is now a "common talk" of the town.
" One touch of sympathy makes all mankind
akin" and he who wrongs the dead, and at the same
time injures the living, makes us blush for our race,
if the bounty which a generous publio throws into
■he laps of the snfforess, re aohes a channel it was
never intendod for.
Since the above was written one or more arrests
havebeen made, and the examination which com
menced on Sunday wus continued till to-day. Un-
til the final decision of the magistrates having the
matter in charge, shall be given, we shall have
nothing more to say.
tSF" The Florida and South Carolina papers oon-
tain details of the injuries on the coasts of these
States from recent storms. The amount of damage
in Florida is considerable ; but not so great as was
feared. The Newport Times, of the 22d, says :
The wind coming from the N. W., blew the sea
water back, and conseqnently there was no tide,
but the wholo country was submerged in fresh wa-
ter, bo great was the fall of rain for several days
previous. Newport and St. Marks sustained very
little damage other than the prostration of fencing
and shade trees.
We fear from what wo can learn that the country
has received great damage. Fences, gin houses,
sheds, corn cribs, stables and other buildings, have
been prostrated, while cotton, which bad suffered
before from the ravages of the boll worm and cater-
pillar, has been thrashed out, and a great deal blown
down, and in some cases the stalks twisted off.
The Times, referring to the steamship Calhoun,
says:
Had the steamer not been kept head to tbe wind,
and attempted to make this harbor there is no doubt
sbe vould have been lost, with all on board.
In South Carolina the rice crop is said to have
been injured by wind and rain.
Texas has fortunately escaped any injurious storm
tbe past four years.
Influence of the Moon on the Weather. It
has always been a favorite prejudice that the weath-
er is influenced in some mysterious manner by the
moon. The moon can be supposed to act on the earth
only one of three ways, namely, by the light which it
reflects, by its attraction, or by the emancipation of
some unknown kind. Now the light ofthe moon does
not amount to the 100,000ih part of that of the sun ;
and the heat which it excites is so small as to be alto
gether unapprcciable by the most delicate instruments,
orthe best devised experiments. Noeffectcan beat-
tributed, therefore, to the moon's light. With regard
to the attraction of the moon, we see its influence on
the tides of the ocean, and might therefore be dispos-
ed to allow it a similar influence on the atmosphere ;
bul when we take into account the small specific grav-
ity of atmospheric air in comparison with water,
and the consequent smallness of the mass to be
acted upon, it will be readily perceived that this in
fluence also must be extremely feeble, As to the re-
maining supposition, that the moon may act on the at-
mosphere by some obscure emanation, it is sufficient
to remark that no meteorological observations that
have yet been made afford the slightest traces of any
such connections between the earth and its satellite.
The registers kept in various observatories and other
places, also prove, contrary to the popular belief, that
the changes of weather are in no way whatever de-
pendent on the lunar phases.
Steel Ships.—The superior lightness, durability,
and elasticity of steel over iron renders it more suit-
able for many of the uses to which that metal is put,
and one ofthe last substitutions that has been made
is the construction ot ships of steel. It is a well
known fact that within certain limits crank ships
sail better than steady ones, because of their snpe
nor elasticity, and they give to the impact of the
waves, and glide through the opposiog forces,
when a steadier and sa'er ship would inflexibly re-
ceive the whole force, and not move an inch. This
fact having been considered, the homogeneous met-
al, which is a sort of half way house between steel
and iron, is being largely employed in ship-build-
ing, and there are many now iu England in the
course of construction. Tbe first ve-sel ever built
of steel was the small steam launch for the Living-
ston expedition up tbe Zambezi river, and another
one, the Bainbow, of one hundred and sixty tons
measurement, has quite recently been launched from
the ship- work* on tbe Meney, which 1* intended for
th* navigation of th* Nigtr-" rer
Outbaqeous.—The papers inform us that a good
deal of indignation has been produced among tbe
financiers of the city of Boston by tho fact stated
below:
The Suffolk Bank of Boston has again placed
itself in an antagonistic position to the other Bos-
ton Banks. The Post says :—"The polioy of the
Suffolk in presenting bills for specie at the counters
of banks having no arrangement with it is ques-
tioned by many. It is the same course, however,
that was so successfully pursued at the birtb of the
Suffolk system, and was so firmly sustained by the
merchants of Boston and Kew England in general,
though denounced by its opponents as piratical."
"Piratical" Is good, as a description of the offence
of asking a bank to give specie for its notes by an-
other "having no arrangement with it." The Suf.
folk bank may pay specie if it pleases, without in-
curring any more odious epithet than attaches to
folly ; but when it asks others to do so,it is guilty
ofaomething more than "flat burglary." Tbe act
is "piratical."
The Gbas^hoppebs, as we feared from their ap-
pearance and habits in Texas, have taken a wide
range. In certain parts of Baritin, Holmdel and
Marboro' townships, Monmonth county, tbe Key-
port (N.J.) Standard says they are making sad
havoc with everything green. In some places they
have entirely stripped tbe pasture fields, compelling
the farmers to fodder their cattle daily. In others,
where the grass Is destroyed, they have taken to
the corn and melons, rendering the latter entirely
worthless.
We have already mentioned their appearance in
parts of Alabama, Pennsylvania, New York and
Ohio. It now appears that they have visited tbe
remote and cold region of the Red river of tbe
North. When the trains left Selkirk, about tbe 15th
of June, the whole country was filled with young
grasshoppers, just hatched,and the fear and suppo-
sition was, that another Encb devastation by them
as formerly created a famine in the colony, would
be again experienced. Under this belief, pork, flour
and provisions were ordered from bere both by the
Hudson Bay Company and by private traders, and
tho returning cars were loaded more or less with
provisions. It seems, however, that instead of an
injury thoy turned ont a benefit to the country.
The St. Paul Minisotian says that about tbe 20th of
June, the grasshoppers ro9e in the air, and in a body
attempted to emigrate east of Red River. But, lo 1
and behold 1 they exceeded tbeir ability, and down
they fell and were drowned in the Red River, whoBe
surface they oovered to tbe depth of three or four
inches. Thia has improved the fisheries on Red Kiv.

Annexation ot Cuba is now a leading issue
among the politicians of the North. General Wal-
bridge, one of the Democratic nominees for Con-
gress in the city of New York, delivered a speech on
the evening of the 21st ult., in which be boldly and
openly avowed himself in favor of the annexation
of Cuba. He declared that, following up the law of
political gravitation, Cnba must, sooner or later,
become an integral part of the American constel-
lation. He referred in emphatic language to the
commercial importance of the sabject, and delight-
ed his audience by a graphic picture of the present
and prospective resources of the island. Here is an
extract from his speech worthy of attention :
While her supplies of rum and coffee have great
ly fallen off, in 1857 (he said) we imported into the
United 8tateB, from the Island of Cub", forty-five
millions of dollars in value of her productions. Nor
is it probable that this demand for her tropical ex-
ports will not augment with tbe rapidly expanding
growth of our country, and that our trade with, this
island will be soon swollen to an hundred millions
of dollars annually. I have thus sketched thegrow-
ingcom ercial relations between tbe United States
and the island of Cu^a— an island that commands
the approach of the Gull of Mexico, bars the en
trance of that great river which drains half the
American continent, and. with its tributaries forms
the lareest system of internal water communication
in the world—keeping watch ofthedoorway of our
intercourse with Calitornia by tbe Isthmus route—
an island larger than Scotland, only a third less
than the territorial extent of England, equal to tbe
average area of members of our confederacy, with
nearly every town a seaport, while an import and
export averaging annually from forty-five to forty-
six millions of dollars at the present depres-ed con-
dition of tbe island, wbile not one-tenth of itB Boil
In cnltivation, and encumbered with moat onerous
and grievous taxes. Such, fellow citizens, is one of
the great Interests which engaged the anxions at-
tention of our statesmen of the past, and which is
contemplated at this day by the great interest ofthe
Union. Our ablest statesmen regard its acquisition
as only one of time.
Sea Island Cotton.—The Charleston Courier
•orrects the figures giving the amount of the crop
of the Sea Island Cotton last year, and loaves the
result, as follows :
Florida 18,l&y>ales.
Georgia 7,551 "
South Carolina 14,601 "
Total, 1857-58 40,560
Against, 1856-57: 45,314, <&c.
Bbazobia County.—The Colorado Democrat says
that cotton Picking is now in rapid progress in
Brazoria county. On tho plantation of Capt. Black,
one day last week, eighteen negro girls picked 7,
809 pounds, averaging about 434 apiece. One pick
ed 568 ; the lowest 254. Tbe Democrat mentions a
stalk of sugar cane with matured joints, but says
nothing of the cane crop in general.
Richmond Cotton is coming in rapidly by way
of the Richmond and Harrisburg railroad. The re-
ceipts at Richmond last week were 8S9 bales. The
Reporter says:
The Episcopal church ¡3 rapidly advancing to-
wards completion.
Improvements are still going on in various partB
of our thriving town.
Our railroad is Btill advancing onward towards
the Colorado. Nearly four miles of iron are laid,
and the work progresses as fast as can well be
obtained, by the slow process of ferrying across the
river. A fresh impetus will be given to the work,
as soon as the bridge is completed.
Fannin county was recently visited by a severe
storm, which tore up the trees and corn, blew down
the fences, beat ont the cotton, killed cattle, bogB
and chickens, an i done considerable damage, gen-
erally.
Value or Tbees.—The Parliament Oak, In Cllp-
ston Park, is said to be fifteen hundred years old.
This park existed before the conquest, and now be-
longs to tbe Duke of Portland. The talleat oak
was the same nobleman's property 1 it was called
the Duke's walking stick, and was higher than
Westminstel Abbey. The largest oak in England
is the Calthrope cak, Yorkshire, it measures seventy
eight feet in circumference at the ground. The three
Shires oak, at Worsop, is called so from fronting
part of tbe counties of York, Nottingham and Der
by. The tree had the greatest expanse of any re-
corded in that Island dropping over 777 tqaare
yards.- The most productive oak wbs that of Gele-
nos, in Monmonthshire, felled in 1810 ; the bark
brought £200, and its timber £870. In the man-
sion of Tredeger Park, Monmouthshire, there is
«aid to be a room, forty two feet long and twenty-
seven feet broad, the floor and wainscot of which
were the produce of a single tree—an oak—grown
on tbe estate.
Religion or Cbimikals —The Milwankio Free
Democrat sates that the Universaliets of Wiscon-
sin, at tbeir late Convention, appointed a committee
to visit tbe State prison, and accertain the religous
faith of tbe Inmates. The committee performed
the duty required of them, there are of Lutherans,
87 ; Methodists 35; Roman Catholics 32 ; Nothi-
garians, 85 . Prerhjterians. 4; Episcopalians ; 11
Babtists. 14 Mormons, 5 ; Am ibilationia'.s. 2 i In

Wo ware aocompanied by aj*>f who reeidee a
the city, and who kindly oflff- a seat in hie
paw. He told us tha ohuroh wfliMitarian, and In
tbe vkSnity of our hotel. Whe^wa, arrived, wo
found it on the corner of 10th and Locust streeta.
Tha house was large-; the congregation large;
there was a very large and most excellent organ ;
and the eervice commenced with a volunteer hymn
from the choir. About this time my friend
marked, that the ocngregatidh was the moet wealthy
and intelligent in tbe city, being estimated to be
worth seven million of dollars. Over the pulpit,
in large gilt letters, were the words, " And this is
life eternal, that they might know Thee tbe only
true God, and Jesua Christ, whom Thou hast sent.
John, xv, ii, in." As soon as tbe volunteer h> an
was concluded, tbe preacher aroee from his seat in
the pulpit, approached the desk, and closing his
eyes, commenced, without any words ot introduo
tion, what appeared to be an extemporaneous
prayer. In tbe meantime the congregation retain-
ed their seats and upright positions, tbe same
before. The preacher was a sbort, stout, intellec-
tual looking man, of abont fifty five years of age.
On enquiring afterwards I learned his name is
Wm. H. Furnese. When he concluded tbe prayer,
he took up his hymn-book, announced the number
of a hymn, which he had previously selected, and
read it. It was then sung by the choir, which was
a good one, and did all the singing; although,
from the number of books, which appeared to be
in tbe hands of nearly every member of the con-
gregation, I presume all were supposed to take part
in this exercise. Wben the choir commenced, tbe
whole congregation arose, snd with one accord
turned their backs on the preacher, and their faces
to the choir. During the singing tbe preacher oc-
cupied a seat in the pulpit. The hymn was on the
subject of tbe Harmony of Praise. When it was
sung, tbe congregation resumed their seats, and
the preacher read the parable of the Lost Sheep,
the Lost Piece of Silver and tho Prodigal Son,
Whilst he read, I was struck with his elocution
and voice. He then prayed as before; then announc-
ed and read another hymn, which was on the sub-
ject of the Excellence of Virtue ; and which was
sung in the same manner as the first. The eervice
had commenced a quarter before eleven, and it now
lacked a minute or two of half past eleven. My
friend remarked that the sermon was invariably
a half an hour long, neither more nor le9s. The
preacher, with the manuscript of his sermon before
him, announced as the snbject thereof, the words of
St. Paul, " Let not Tby good be evil spoken of.
My friend here whispered to me, that he had ne-
glected to tell me that the preacher was anti-slavery
in his views. I replied that I should not be surpris-
ed. I thonght we were not going to hear anything
of it to-day, at all events. Taking St. Paul as an
example, to go no higher, he first showed how im-
probable it is for christians to avoid being spoken
ill of by the evil minded, and concluded that it
was not iu such sense that tbe injunction should be
understood, but that its proper meaning was tbe
same as if it read, Let not T£y good be evil spoken
of, with truth. Ho then divided christians into
two extremes ; those who were too ready to speak
and act their own minds at all times without re-
gard to propriety of time and circumstances, there-
by causing their good to be evil spoken of with
truth ; and those who, out of deferenoe to others,
were afraid to speak and act tbeir own minds at
all, thereby causing their good to be evil spoken of
with truth. And he said that all tend towards one
or the other of these extremes; and that each one
by consulting his own heart, would discover to
which he belongs. Here the sermon took, and re-
tained to the end, an anti-slavery direction ; the
late determination of tho American Tract Society,
being, in the opinion of the preacher, cause for
speaking il) of tbe good of tbe Society, and entit-
ling It to be ranked with the second class of the
christians above described. The preacher took it
for granted, as he might well do, perhaps, before
on audience of seven millions of capital having no
known interest in negro slavery, that slavery was
a crime. At twelve the clock struck once, and the
sentence finished the sermon ; after which, the
preacher prayed ; and then came a solo from tbe
choir, by the daughter of the preacher, which sur-
passed anything of the sort I had ever heard ; and
I thought to myself how little wonder it is that the
liberation of other people's slaves is so popular
here, when seven millions of capital support its
eloquent advocate, and the performance of tbe
choir is as attractive as the Opera. As we come
out, I noticed sheets of note paper on the seats of
pews, with some communication penciled on them.
I picked one up, and found that it was from the
Treasurer, giving the information that at tbe
church on Monday evening last, it was unanim
ously resolved to raise, by assessment, a sum suffi
cient to cover the unavoidable repairs made to the
church during the last annual recess, and that bills
be issued at once, to date from the l.-t An gust, with
the semi-annual bills for pew rent. It occnred to
me, that an assessment is a good notion in such
case, and I therefore mention it.

Texaka, Dr. Boyall writes us, is increasing in
business, as the country about it is settling up more
densely. Jackson county has made a large surplus
of breadstnffa and has as fino lands as any in the
West. The Doctor Bays that emigrants would do
well to visit that county.
We are informed, by Mr. Bobinson, that a very
atrocious murder was committed near Independ
ence on Monday last. A young man by the name of
Cooper, waylaid, and killed another, named Little
page, a school teacher. It seems that Cooper had
madesome statements abont Littlepage which were
not true, whereupon L. waited ou him and got bim
to sign a retraction. The next day he hid himselt
near where be bad to pass, and shot him with a
double barrel shot gun. Nineteen buck-shot hit him
in the breast. He staggered about twenty steps and
fell dead. Cooper then got his horse and said be
was going to Brenham to give himselfup. He was
was afterwards seen in Brenham. The neighbors
mustered and started in pursuit of him on Tuesday.
They were in the city on Wednesday but could not
trace him further than the Brazos. We tell the story
as it was told us. We hope the circumstances are
exaggerated A large reword is offered for his ap
prehension. He is described as being a slim man
about six feet high, with a peculiar eye. One ofthe
eyes appears to be fixed, what is called a stiff oye.

Cobbett says, "whe-e there's a will, there's a
way," and illust-ating if. by his own case, he
adds :—"I learned grammar when I was a private
-oldier, on the pay of sixpence a day. The edge
of my berth, or that of the guard-bed, was my seat
to study in ;'my knapsack was my book case; a bit
of board, lying on my lap, was my writing table;
and the task did not demand any thing like a year
of my life. I had no money to purchase candle or
oil; in winter time, it wa? rarely that I could get
any evening 1 ght, but that of the fire, and only
my turn even ot that. And if I, under such cir-
cumstances, and without parent or friend to ad
vise or encourage me, accomplished this underta-
king, what excuse can there be for any youth,
however poor however pressed with business, or
however circumstanced, as to room or other incor-
ven'.ence? To buy a pen cr sheet of paper, I was
compelled to forege some portion of food, though
in a slate of half starvation. I bad no moment of
time that I could call my own : and I had to read
and write amidst the talking, laughing, singing'
whistling and brawling of least half a score of tbe
most th ughtless of men, and that, too, in the hou'B
of their freebam from all control.

is unknown ; but the traveler slake? his thirst at tbe
well of Jacob. Tbe gorgeous palace of the wealth-
iest and wisest of monarchs with the cedar and >;old
aDd ivorv, and even the great Temple of Jerusalem,
hallowed by the visible glorv of the Deity himself,
are gone, but Solomou's re-ervoT-i are as perfect
as ever. Of the ancient architectuary of the Holy
City, not one stone is left upon another : but tbe
pool of Bethesda commands the pilgrim's reverence
at the present day. The colums of Persepolis are
mouldering into dust; but its cisterns and aqueducts
retrain to challenge our admiration. The golden
bouse of Nero is a mass of ruins; but tbe Aquis
Claudia still pours 'lito Rome its limped stream.
The temple of tbe sun at Tadmor in the wilderness,
has fallen ; but its fountains sparkle as freshly in his
rays as when thousands of worshippers thronged its
lofty colonades.
It may be that London will share the fate
Babylon, and nothing will be left to ma<k its
site save mounts of crumbling brick work. The
Thames will continue to flow as it does now. A'-d
if any work of art should still ri°e over tbe deep
ocean of time, we may well believe that it will nei
therbe a palace nor a temp e, but some vast aque
duct or leservoir; and if any name should flash
through the midst of antiquity, it will probably be
that of a man who in his days sought the happi
ness of bis fellowMnen rather thau tbeir glory, and
linked his name to some great work of nation-
al utility and benevolence. Tnis is the true glory
which outlives all other, and shines with undying
lustre from generation to generation—imparting to
works some of its immortality and in some degree
rescuing th- rn from the ruin which overtakes the
odinarv monumeuts of historical tradition, or mere

ing a discovery In Its manufacture, by which It was de-
prived of Its acid and inflammatory properties and
rendered perfectly pure.
My manufactory is at Scheldam, Holland. After aev •
eral months reflection what title to give It, I Introduced
It to the American pub'le under the title of ' wolf's
ic&eidam Aromatic nchnappa.' Scheldem
Is the name of the place In Holland where the Gin ii
manufactured: 11 aromatic, derives its name frotn the
Italian Juniper berry with which it is flavored; and
the word -'Schnapps" is the German for drink—cogue,
dram—WolPe Scheldam aromatic drink. No sooner
bad my Schnapps been Introduced to the American
public, and received with approbation, tban the liquor
mixers of New Vork, Boston and Philadelphia, started
in pursuit with their mixed and poisonous stuff1, under
various names, in several instances my labela have
been so perfectly imitated, with only the addition of a
few letters, to plead a teclmlcai avoidance .,f the law
and so carefully prepared as to Impose on careless'
purceasers. I understand a large quantity has been
purchased by the merchants of New Orleans, on ac-
count of the cheapness of the stuff. Two dollars per
dozen for the Quarts, and One Dollar a d ten cents a
dozen for the Pints, being the whole ale price In New
York. Itls nothing but American Whiskey flavored
with the Oil of Juniper, and reduced thirty percent be.
low proof. A merchant who participates Indirectly In
the fraud, by selling the spurious article, is as much an
offender as the principle, who planned the Imposition.
I hope every respectable citizen who values the
health of the community in which he lives, will aid me
in lerretting out, and exposing the unscrupu ous mer-
chant. who, for the sake of a few cents, will put In jeo-
pardy the lives of the community In which he lives.
Such men should be nailed to the pillory of public ex-
execration. OUULPHO ItOLKE,
