gT Dennis Long, of tb¿ Union Foundry,
Louisville, Kj.,ia, sajs the Courier of that city,
prepared to mannfactar* cannon of ail sizes
and bail to match. He is a staoncb advocate
of Sontbern Rights.
Domestic maict* actum.—The Hempstead
Courier reports the successful casting of a six-
pound cannon at the foundry of Bartley A Gil-
bert in that place. The piece is called the G.
W. Crawford. If it be as true as Wash, it will
wipe out a good many foes.
ty The steamer City of Richmond, plying
between Richmond and Philadelphia, was seized
at the former port on the 18tb, and a force of
Virginia troops placed on board; bat the cap-
tain®subsequently obtained her release from
@Oor. Letcher, and she returned to Philadelphia.
ÉÍ" ^rge bodies of troops are, said by the
Richmond papers to be raising in all parts of
Virginia and N. Carolina; batteries are being
erected at the Portsmouth Hospital and Craaey
Islands, mounted with Dahlgren guns, and fire
„ volunteer companies from Georgia had arrived
at Portsmouth.
Thi Wheat Crop.—The Belton Independent
of May 4th says that the wheat harvest is in
progress is that region of Texas, and adds that
there was never lfefore such a vast amount of
grain in Texas. The crops of oats and barley
are abundant, and a heavy corn crop is now
certain.
The military authorities of Lynchburg,
Vs., by Order of Governor Letcher, haye seized
«6,000 pounds oT powder, belonging to the Haz-
ard powder company. The powder is now __
der a guard amply sufficient to protect it, and
will be used as occasion may call for it in de-
fense of the State.

Keep You* Powde*.—We continually see
fbcounts of the firing of salutes at the South
over tventg that give public satisfaction. The
fe@ling exhibited is commendable; but we
® think it would be better to manifest it in some
other way, and save the powder. The receipts
in the South are now very limited. The sup-
ply Sn hand is none too great, and it will be
hard to procure more. What we have may be
needed for something more than holiday dem
onstrations. That which remains over, can be
fi£d in salutes on the restoration of peace.
BT The N. Y. Herald says, that twelve
thousand C. S. troops, in all, had reached An
napolis, from the North, up to the 29th nit., and
it Í3 stated, that no more volunteers will be or-
dered, unless they are fully equipped for ser
vice. It would appear, that the preparations to
receive ^íe troops at Annapolis were very im-
perfect) and had not the weather been very
mild, they would have suffered much. As it
was, a thousand of them had to sleep in the
open air; and although there is abundance of
provisions, the commissariat was so badly
managed, that some of the troops were without
food for twenty-four hours.
3 \3S~ We find it wholly impossible to report
the military preparations which have been, and
continue to be, made in the interior counties of
Texas. A statement of what is done in one,
however, is a fair example for all. In almost
every case the county courts have made appro-
priations of money, in addition to large private
subscriptions. Heavy purchases of arms and
ammunition have been made. There were be
ime iw/t£ guita «uu yunuis m ioxbs, nu oiui
men accustomed to use them, in proportion to
the population, than in any other State, North
gr South. The enrollments in volunteer com-
panies include all ages, from 16 years upwards
and the %umber of such enrollments, and of
rijthose who hold themselves ready to respond
to aiy call that may be made upon them for the
defence of the State or the Confederacy,
in many cases, exceeds the number of
voters in the county. Such is the case here.
Texas not onlys" expects every man to do his
duty,' but knows that he will do it. Whatever
differences of opinion may have obtained in
times past, there is no differences as to the feel-
ing ofvpposition to the policy of coercion and
conquest denounced against the South.
Our exchanges, almost without excep-
tion, qpmplain of the injury to their business
from the withholding of the amounts due them
for subscription, and the curtailment of adver-
tising patronage in the present crisis. In ad-
dition to th is the supply of printing paper in
the South is being rapidly consumed, and the
procurement of more from the North, on which
we have mainly depended, is no longer practr
eable. The price of paper has advanced almost
fifty per cent. We constantly receive letter?,
from solvent parties in the interior, ordering
our paper, and promising payment when called
on, or on the first opportunity. We are com
petled to decline all such offers. Our expeu-
0 ses are hgavy and have to be met in cash, and
we must have cash from our patrons to meet
tbenfc The drought and short crops of the last
three years caused us to relax our usual rules
fgr collection. There is a heavy amount due us
in the country which we now require to meet
expenses, and we are compelled to ask our sub-
scribers for prompt payment. After the first of
July we shall discontinue all subscribers who
have not provided for our claims against them ;
and we can receive no more names without
the money.
O* Business is about as quiet in Galves-
ton at present as it usually is at midsummer.
The only receipt* of merchandize are frwn
New Orleans. The three vessels which last
arrived from New York are, we believe, all
that are due from the North. None are ad-
vertised for Texas in that region and Lin-
coln's embargo seems to hare been unneces-
sary, as our citizens had previously ceased
to order goods from the northern cities. The
supply of articles actually required by the
wants of our people is still good ; and prob-
ably the best thing that can happen will be
the suspension of importations for a time-
The people of Texas, of late years, have
been paying more money for articles of taste
and luxury than for necessaries. The pres-
ent private supplies of clothing and house-
hold articles, with the stocks on hand in
stores and shops will suffice for the actual
demand for ayear to come ; and to be forced
to rely upon them will save to the State
some ten millions of dollars, which would
have been sent abroad for costly goods had
peace continued. The increasing extrava-
gance in dress, and the general style of liv-
ing greatly needed a check. It was bound
to come, sooner or later, in some way, and
it is quite as well that it should come at the
call of patriotism, as from a pecuniary re-
vulsion brought about solely by overtrading
and extravagance. People were living en-
tirely too fast. Pride, idleness, and dissi-
pation have ruined more men in America
than war.
Confederate States Congress.
Neirly all the important business of this
body is now necessarily discussed in secret ses-
sion. The following report of the first day's
proceedings is by mail, and has in a manner
been anticipated by telegraph :
In compliance with the proclamation of Presi
dent Davis, Congress assembled on ^tbe 20th
the Hon. iiowell Cobb, took bis chair, and the
Rev. Basil Mw.ley offered a fervent invocation
to the throne of Grace. The President then
called Congress to order, and stated that they
had been assembled at this time by a proclama-
tion from the President. The first business in
order was the call of the roll, and few names
were called which were not responded to. The
President stated that a quorum was present
and that Congress was now ready to transact
business. After the transaction of some routine
business, of no interest to the reader here, the
President presented to Congress the annexed
communication from a portion of the people of
New Mexico :
Messili,a, March 18,1861.
To the Hon. Howell Cobb, President of the
Congress of the Confederate States of Ame-
rica :
Sir—In pursuance of a resolution adopted at
a convention of the citizens of that part of New
Mexico known as Arizona, held at this place on
the 16th inst., I have the hoDor herewith to
transmit the inclosed preamble and resolutions
unanimously adopted, with the hope and request
that you will lay t,hem before the Congress of
the Confederate States of America, for their
consideration.
Signed by the president and secretary
On motion of Mr. Chesnut, the reading of
the preable and resolutions referred to was
postponed for the present, and the communica-
tion was referred to the Committee on Territo-
ries.
Mr. Ochiltree, of Texas, presented to the
Congress a comirunication from the Governor
of the Territory of Arizona, transmitting a copy
of the Provisional Constitution, with the request
that it be presented to Congress. The commu-
nication was received and referred to the Ter-
ritorial Committee.
Mr. Josselyn, the President's private secre-
tary, then appeared in the hall and stated he
had a message from the President, with accom
panying documents.
Mr. Withersasked the question whether there
was anything in the message that would pre
vent its being read in public session.
Mr. Toombs replied, that there was not.
The message was then read, in a very dis
tinct tone, by Mr. Dickson
After the message was read the President of
Congress asked what action should be taken
with the accompanying documents.
Mr. Toombs desired that they should not be
read in public, and moved that Congress go into
secret session,
The motion prevailed, and Congress remained
in secret session about an hour, when they ad
journed.
"The Twin Sisters."
The Baton Rouge Gazette furnishes the fol
lowing account of the fortunes of the two can
non, known as the "Twin Sisters," the two
six-pounders belonging to the State of Texas,
which did such terrific execution .it the battle
of San Jacinto, in the struggle for independ-
ence against the army of Santa Anna.
The Brook *
tr alfred tennyson.
I come from banntt of coot and hern,
I make a sudden sally,
And sparkle oat amoog the fern.
To bicker down the valley.
By thirsty hills I hurry down,
Or slip between the ridges,
By twenty thorpe—a little town—
And half a hundred bridges.
Till lost by Philip's farm, I flow
To join tbe brimming river :
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.
I clatter over stormy ways,
In little sharps and trebles ;
I bubble into the eddying bav-4,
I babble on the pebbles.
With many a curve mv banks I fret,
By many a field and fallow ;
And many a fairy foreland set,
With willow-weed and mallow.
I chatter, chatter, as I flow
To join the brimming river;
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.
I wind about, and in and out,
With here a blossom sailing ;
And here and there a lusty trout,
And here and there a grayling;
And here and there a foamy flake
Upon me as 1 travel;
With many a silvery water break
Above the golden gravel;
And draw them all along and flow
To join the brimming river;
For men may come and men may go,
But 1 go on forever.
I steal by lawns and grassy plots,
I slide by bazel covers ;
I move the sweet forget-me-nots
That grow for happy lovers.
I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance,
Among my skimming swallows ;
1 make the netted sunbeams dance
Against my sandy shallows.
I murmur under.moon and stars,
Iu brambly wildernesses :
I linger by my shingly bars,
I loiter round my cresses.
And out again 1 curve and flow,
To join the brimming river;
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.
Tiie Stars.—-It has long been concluded
among astronomers, that the stars, though they
only appear to our eyes as brilliant points, are
all to be considered as suns, representing solar
systems, each bearing a general resemblance
to our own. The stars have a brilliancy and
apparent magnitude which we may safely pre-
sume to be in proportion to their actual size and
the distance at which they are placed to us.—
Attempts have been made to ascertain the dis
tance of some of the stars by calculations
founded on a parallax, it being understood that
if a parallax of so much as one second, or the
3600th part of a degree, could be ascertained in
any one instance, the distance might be assum-
ed in that instance as not less than 19,200,000
millions of miles! In the case of the" most
brilliant star, Sirius, even this minute paral
lax could not be found : from which, of course,
it was to be inferred that the distance of that
star was something beyond the vast distance
which has been stated. In some others, on which
the experiment has been tried, no sensible par-
allax could be obtained, from which the same
inference was to be made in their case. But a
sensible parallax of about one second has been
.ascertained in the case of the double star, a a,
of the constellation of the Centaur, and one of
the third of that amount for the double star 61
Cygni; which gave reason to presume that the
distance of the former might be about 20,000,000
millions of miles, and the latter of much greater
amount. If we suppose that similar intervals
exist between all the stars, we shaJI readily see
that the space occupied by even the compara-
tively small number visible to the naked eye
must be vast beyond all powers of conception
The number visible to the naked eve is about
three thousand : but the number is ever in
creased in proportion to the iucreased power of
the telescope. In one place, where they are
more thickly sown than elsewhere, Sir William
Herschel reckoned that fifty thousand passed
over a field of view two degrees in breadth in
a single hour. Tbe sky has been " gauged'"
in all directions by the telescope, so as to ascer
tain the conditions of different parts with re-
spect to the frequency of the stars. The result
has been a conviction that, as the planets are
parts of solar systems, so are solar systems
parts of what may be called astral systems.

SATURDAY, MAY lit 1861.
tg* Tbe steamer Diana, J. H. Sterrett
commander, from Houston, arrived here this
morning with 9H bales cotton and 343 hides, and
the following passengers :
Garlan, W ard. Conrad, Bigar, Brown, Colman
East, Suitman, Brantley, Allan, Miss Perkins,
Miss Johnson, Preacer & lady, Mrs Garland
& child, Morgan. Lee, Wiswell, Worsam.
There appears to be a panic among the
residents of Annapolis, arising from its occu-
pation by tbe Federal army, for half the popu-
lation are said to have left the city. Baltimore
and Washington are reported by the travellers
from those cities to be perfectly quiet, and the
regular lines of steamers are beginning to ply
between tbe neighboring places.
Tbe steamship Galveston, Capt. Hutch-
ing , from New Orleans the 9th, arrived here
this morning, with the mails and the following
passengers :
Geo Noessel, Thompson, P M Taylor, Eddy,
Gu.rren, Tinchimo, Wolf, Trayfen, J Keller-
birger.

13T It may be well to remind people that
the laws are still in force in Texas, though the
fi^ced sale of property under execution is post-
poned for the present. If a man wishes to get
tbe goods of another free of charge, he must
do it in the way of trade—not under tbe wings
of mercury. Judge Palmer and tbe Juries
have been giving some lessons in Harris county,
with regard to the rights of property. As ap-
pears from the Telegraph, the following named
partía* harp heen nrovided with board, lodeinirs
and employment, in the State Institution at
Hnntarille, for tbe offences named :
Albert Johnson, convicted on two charges of
horse stealing, was sentenced for ten years.—
Frank Ross, for the theft of a horse, was sen-
tenced for fire years.
C. P. Harris, was tried for the theft of a
horse from Mrs. Jonas Butler, in Galveston
county; the horse was taken to that county and
sold, the defendant was convicted of the crime
and his punishment assessed at five years in
the penitentiary.
Julios Kurtz, formerly a bar-keeper at Peter
Gabel's Saloon, was tried for the theft of a
pistol from him and convicted, and his punish-
ment fixed at two years in the penitentiary.
Solomon Smith and John O'Malley, charged
with robbery upon Wm. Daniels, of Colorado
county, were tried and convicted and the pun-
ishment fixed at eight years imprisonment each
in the penitentiary. This was the most out-
rageous case. The prisoners knocked Mr.
Daniels down, choked and robbed him of over
three hundred dollars.
Kektccet.—The Lexington Statesman says:
Amid tbe terrible news which comes pouring
in upon us from all quarters, there is one cause
of congratulation at which the heart of every
hentockian must bound with joy. We allude
to the unanimity of sentiment and feeling
which the first war news established in our
community. It is with emotions of heartfelt
pride that we proclaim our people a unit. The
hatchet of political wax is buried. Party feel-
ing ia goae. Dissensions are at an end. Our
people stand a solid body, shoulder to shoulder.
Kentucky exhibited a patriotic desire to mediate
between the sections; bnt when the Lincoln
Administration inaugurated civil war, the peo-
ple of Kentucky, if we may judge by the reel-
ing here, by one spontaneous movement, have
Tallied in our unbroken column to the side of
their Sontbern brethren.
Proclamation op Lincoln Suppressed.—It
ia stated from Waahin
of martial law ia the
in Maryland, was supposed "from motives of
policy," immediately after it was posted up.
The proclamation divided Maryland into a num-
ber^f military districts, which were also to be
under military rule, and the oflbnee this gave
ia said to have been the cause of the suppres-
sion.
% To WwaSkop ¿alt1h0ee.—Tbe j
tune of the Winana was amassed .
lucky contracts for rolling stock with the Rus-
aten Government, 30 year* ago, for the St. Pe-
tersburg and Moscow railroad. They are now
rtj $10,000,000, and their factories in
are at work, night and day, taming
i and shot for the South.
sna traüstcfreü -nerw&rmaterial to the late
S.,and among the auxiliary pieces the " Twin
Sisters" were sent to the arsenal, at Baton
Rouge. By a subsequent inspection by the proper
United States Ordnance officers, they were con-
demned as useless pieces and sold as old iron,
the purchasers (of at least one of the pieces)
being tbe late foundry firm in this city of Hen-
derson 4 Hill. Recently the Legislature of
Texas set on foot an inquiry as to their where-
abouts, and after careful search it was discov
ered that they had been stored at this post.
These facts becoming known to our Legisla-
ture, Hon. H. W. Allen, of West Baton Rouge,
immediately introduced a resolution for the ap-
pointment of a committee to hunt them up, and
making an appropriation to remount them and
present them on behalf of Louisiana to our sis-
ter State. The resolution was adopted and
Capt. Allen appointed Chairman of the Com-
mittee. With bis usual energy and persever
ance, Capt. A. Went to work, and after a dili-
gent search, found one of the " Sisters" at the
present foundry of Hill & Markham. Hon. C.
Ar. Brusle searched his parish and picked up
the other at St. Gabriel, Iberville parish, near
bis residence.
Having brought them together, they were
sent to Tunnard's for the proper mounting and
repairing. A look at them will convince any
one that the job could not have fallen into bet-
ter bands. The carriages are substantially
painted and trimmed off to perfection with the
necessary chains, rings and bolts. Tbe guns
have been carefully cleaned and lacquered, and
now look as though they could again take part
in another San Jacinto. They are to be shipped
to-day for Texas, and are hereafter to form part
of the ornaments to the square at the capítol at
Austin.
The Commissioners to present the " Sisters'
to the State of Texas are H. W. Allen, C. A.
Brusle and Dr. W. G. Austin. Tbey are neatl v
inscribed on a brass plate by the repairer, and
in a smaller plate appears the name of " W. F.
Tunnard, Baton Rouge."
The following is a copy of the inscription en-
graved on plates placed upon tbe guns:

Card.
"The Flag of the Star of the West."—
The Memphis Avalanche thus comes down on
one of our young Ualvestonians, whose modesty
seems destined to be as much tried as his cour-
age. We copy for the satisfaction of his friends :
H. L. [Lownks] H. L. Allen, its Bearer.
This gentleman, just from tbe seat of the late
tmnmpk nf «lio Taran flirPP-j in tilkinf IHWset-
sion of the Star of the West, has exhibited in
our sanctum (made glorious by its unfurling)
the Confederate flag as raised and flung-to the
breeze by his own hands. The flag is tasty, and
is an emblem of n past victory that will entail
undying lustre on the gallant voung gentleman
who had tbe honor of elevating to this proud
position a flag that the brave vow shall be flung
proudly from the dome of the Capitol of the
usurper; and it may wave (who knows ?) from
each dome and turret of the princely mansions
and State Capitols of the mercenary North.—
Mr. Allen clings to his treasure, and we wel-
come him with his precious relic to our sanc-
tum, guaranteeing to him and all such, a truly
Southern welcome. Any one wishing to see
the glorious banner can do so bv applvner to
Messrs. O-gill & Bros. J
To the Public.
The above card appeared in Wednesday's
issue of the Civilian. In answer, the under-
signed Company beg leave to state that the only
Flag used in the capture of the Star of the
West was the "lone Star of Texas," presented
to tbe Wigfall Guards, by Capt. H. C. Bacon,
on tbe night previous to their departure, and
was carried on board by Mr. P. Dugan, Ensign
of that company. The Confederate Flag was
sent on board whilst tbe captured steamer was
lying off our bar, thirty hours after her capture,
and was hoisted on her arrival in the Missis-
sippi river, by Capt. Van Buren, of the Gal-
veston Artillery. The officers also state that
the "gallant Galvestonian" mentioned above,
did not board the Star of the West until some
twenty minutes alter her capture.
The above is published by order of the Wig-
fall Guards, so that the public can judge for
themselves. All papers having published the
card, will confer a favor on the company by
publishing the tr-jtk, relative to tbe expedition
By order, WIGFALL GUARDS.
Peach Tries.—Peach trees in the spring
are apt to throw out water sprouts from the
roots, and shoots from the trunk and lower
parts of the large limbe. These should be rub-
bed off with tbe band, or removed in any other
way as test as tbt-y appear. A little attention
weekly will keep them clear of all such encum-
brances, and prevent the premature death of
the tree. Fruit trees in this country are all
apt to run too much to wood; and these water
apronte and roots, rnless promptly attended to,
SP* destroy the health aa well as the
beanty of fruit trues.
Diet.
Even the experienced trainers oftheprizering
cannot decide what is the best food. They have
a prejudice in favor of mutton chops and undone
beefstakes, but it is by no means sure that this
is best. The Roman soldiers—who were all train
ed athletes, marching under a weight of armor
and luggage that few men in our day could oar
ry—lived on coarse, brown wheat or barley bread
which they dipped in sour wine. In our own day,
KrvoniaK tmfldant ia iimnncr the stronflreat and
most agile men in the world. He will work all
day in a copper mine, or at the olive press, or
the wine press, and than dance half the n ght to
the music of a guitar. He lives on a piece of
black bread, an onion, and perhaps half a water
melon. You may see him dipping his bread into
a horn of olive oil, and then some vinegar, made
hot with pepper and garlic, and he is happy
Sometimes he gets a draught of harsh sour wine,
but not strong. All the strong wine is sent to
England. The Smyrna porter walks off with a
load of 800 weight. His only food, day after day,
is a handful of dates, a few figs, a bunch of
grapes, some olives. Heeuts no flesh. His whole
food does not cost him a penny a day. The
Coolie, living on his rice can outwork the negro,
fed on bacon. The Arab, living on rice and dates,
conquered half the world. We eat too much
Many people eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea
supper—five meals a day, and three of them
hearty ones. Our sanitary reformers have not
looked much to the diet question. The stomach
is the centre and citadel of organic life. It is
worth a little consideration, as well as the lungs
and skin, which depend upon it.
What Craters have Done.—Cotopaxi, in
1738, threw its fiery rockets 3000 feet above its
crater, while in 1744 the blazing mass, strug-
gling for an outlet, roared so that its awful
howl was heard a distance of more than 600
miles. In 1797 the crater of Tungiiragua, one
of the great peaks of tbe Andes, flung out tor
rents of mud which dammed up rivers, opened
new lakes, and in valleys of a thousand feet
wide, made deposits of six hundred feet wide
The stream from Vesuvius, which in 1787 pass
ed through Torro del Greco, contained 35,600,
000 cubic feet of solid matter; and in 1794
when Torro del Greco was destroyed a second
time, the mass of lava amounted to 45,000,000
cubic feet. In 1679 Etna poured forth a flood
which covered 84 square miles of surface, and
measured 100,006,000 cubic feet. On this occa-
sion the scoria: formed tbe Monte Rossi, near
N'icolosi, a cone two miles in circumference, and
4000 feet high. The stream thrown out by Etna
in 1810 was in motion at the rate of a yard per
day for nine months after the eruption ; and it
is on record that the lava of the same moun
tain, after a terrible eruption, was not thorough
ly cooled and consolidated ten years after the
event. In tbe eruption of Vesuvius, A. 1). 79,
the scoria; and ashes vomited forth far exceed
ed the entire bulk of the mountain ; while in
1601 Etna disgorged more than twenty times
its own mass. Vesuvius has thrown its ashes
as far as Constantinople, Syria, and Egypt
it hurled stones, eight pounds in weight, to
Pompeii, a distance of six miles, while similar
masses were tossed 2000 feet above its summit
Cotopaxi has projected a block of 100 cubic
yards in volume, a distance of nine miles, and
Sambawa, in 1815, during the most terrible
eruption on record, sent its ashes as far as Java,
a dista ce of 300 miles, and out of a population
of 12,000 souls, only twenty escaped.
Gold for Jewei-rv.— Puregolñ is never re
quire I for jewelry, and is usually alloyed by
introducing a small quantity of silver or cop-
per. Silver renders it lighter in color, and enp
per gives it a deeper shade, inclining it to a red-
dish hue. The jeweller of the present day re-
lies in a great measure on dies for tbe forms he
waves the articles that come from his hand.
These he has cut in steel with care, and many
of them are beautiful; and often they are very
intricate. The gold ts rolled into strips, and
what is beheld is all that it professes to be—
pure gold ; but the proportion of the metal
to the whole is very small. A strip of gold not
thicker than a silver dollar, is secured to a bar
of brass of corresponding size, but much thick-
er in proportion. A flux is applied, to unite the
two, and the mass is subjected to the aclion of
the fire. At the proper moment it is withdrawn,
and when cool the two metals are found firmly
united. The bar is then rolled out between
cylinders set in motion by steam power, and
this operation is continued till the metal, in the
form of a ribbon is not thicker than letter paper.
It is then cut into small pieces of the size re-
quire ',and the artizan so places them in suc-
cession that the die falls upon each in turn,
giving to it the required form. And the die
rises, the piece last struck is removed, and
another piece is placed over the socket rendy to
be struck when the die comes down again. The
die is attached to a heavy weight, which gives
force to the blow, and it is guided by a grooved
framework.
Influence of Trees upon Climate.—Joa-
chim rredenc Sahouw, Professor of Botany at
Copenhagen, speakes as follows of the influence
of forests upon the atmosphere : "We find the
most evident signs of it in the torrid zone The
forests increase the rain and moisture and
produce springs and running streams. Tracts
destitute of woods become very strongly heated
tbe air above them ascends perpendicularly, and
thus prevents the clonds from sinking, and the
constant winds (trade winds or monsoons),
where they can blow uninterruptedly over large
surfaces, do not allow the transition of vapors
into the form of drops. In tbe forests, on the
contrary, the clothed soil does not bcome heated
and, besides the evaporation from the trees
favors cooling; therefore, when the currents of
air loaded with vapors reach the forests, tbey
meet with that which condenses them and
change into rain. Since, moreover, evaporation
of the earth goes on more slowly beneath the
trees, and since these also evaporate very
copiously in a(hot climate, the atmosphere in
those forests has a high degree of humidity, this
great humidity, at tbe same time producing*
many springs and streams.
The N. Y^Herald,although so very anxious
to preserve Washington, is just as anxious to
have the seat of Government of the Unitud S
transferred to New York. It says that New
York ia the only safe place for it.

Indian Troubles.
The Austin Intelligencer learns from C pt
W. C. Haine, of Fort Mason, that the Indians
in large bodies have made their appearance on
that portion of the frontier, and that on the 1st
net H Mr. Drnuuro wan killed by them about
eight miles North of the county seat of Llano
county, on Little Llano—some stock was also
killed bv a party of twelve, who were heading
for the Sandics. Several Indians have been
seen near Mason and other points. They are
becoming quite bold and impudent.
The Intelligencer also publishes a letter
which says tbat fifteen Indians with fifty or
more horses passed by Mr. G. Rabbs, on Grape
Creek, and killed his negro boy and made their
escape with impunity. They shot a negro of
Mr. Dorce's, but did not kill bim.
The inhabitants of tbe frontier counties are
in constant apprehension. We presume that
Col.. Van D.irn will soon restore a sense of
security.
The News, received by way of New Orleans
to-day, is about what was expected. No de-
cisive military movement has been attempted
from any quarter; but steady preparation is
going on in both sections. Marylaud, Kentuc-
ky and Missouri are still nominally in tbe
Union, but tbey will not long remain there.—
A general war between tbe free and the slave
States seems to us inevitable. Tbe change
which has . taken place in Arkansas is only
what might have been expected. A month ago
she was strong for the Union. Lincoln has
commenced coercion and war against the
South: and the convention which was before
strongly against secession now votes for it 69
to 1 ; Murpby, of Madison county, voting
against. A great many members were affected
to tears. President Walker made a strong ap-
peal to make tbe vote unanimous. Great ap-
plause followed. Kentucky is still nominally
in the Dnion; but will never submit to the con-
ditions already imposed on her. By an arbi-
trary act of Lincoln her commerce with the
South is probioited. Fifty years ago tbat State
took up arms for the free navigation of the
Mississippi, and will do so again. Gov. Ma-
goffin's message to the Kentucky Legislature,
now sitting in extraordinary session, denounces
Lincoln's movements, and inclines strongly to-
wards the South, but refers the whole subject
to the people, recommending a Convention.
The people are now thoroughly aroused, and
will vindicate all their ancient rights with the
spirit they have always shown. Tennessee
is already in the Southern ranks, and the Old
North State, assailed bv a paper blockade, re-
plies at the cannon's mouth.
The Confederate States now have full two
hundred thousand men under arms, at various
points, and ready to move wherever their ser-
vices are required. Enrolments, military in-
struction, and the procurement of arms and
ammunition are steadily progressing ; and the
South will be prepared for the great conflict
when it comes. It appears from the telegraphic
dispatches that Gen. Lee says that the Virgin-
ians shall not cross the State line uutil at-
tacked by the invading f«>e. No attempt has
been made by the Federal troops at Washing-
ton to occupy the territory of Virginia, and a
tacit truce seems to exist for tbe moment. At
Fort Pickens both parties are still busy in pre-
paring for a final struggle, which may soon oc-
cur, and may be tbe signal for a general com-
bat between the two Confederacies. There
seems to bo nothing nsw from Cairo : and if
preparations are in progress to attack the Re-
publican forces there, they are prudently kept
out of the newspapers.
The Cairo correspondent of tbe Republican
savs that five batteries have been planted at

Condition of tbe Pcnsacola Army.
From tlie West—Expedition to Tap
turn 17. s. Troops.
The San Antonio papers contain accounts of
the departure of an expedition under Maj. Van
Dorn to capture the U. S. troops still remain
ing in Texas. The Herald says that Col. Van
Dorn is marching a large force to the Leon to
intercept the regiment of U. S. troops, under
Col. Reeves, who are expscted there in a day or
two on their way to the coast. Five city com-
panies left San Antonio alone, viz., those of
Capt. Duff, C pt. Maverick, Capt. Wilcox, Capt.
Navarro, and Capt. Kampuiann. The last
named company is composed of recent Union-
ists, who are now heartily with the South. The
Cavalry companies are those of Capt. Fry,
Capt. Pitts, ('apt. Tobin, Capt. Nelson, Capt.
Baggess, Capt. Ashby, Capt. l'yron and Capt.
Walker, with Capt. Edgar's Artillery company.
Besides this force, the expedition consists of
the six companies of Col. Henry, E. McCul-
loch's regiment of mouuted ritlemen, and Capt's
Pyrons and Walkers companies of Ford's reg-
iment of mounted volunteeis, also Edgar's
Light Battery.
Tbe moral effect of this force will be suffi-
cient to prevent resistance on the part of the
U. S. troops. Texas has carefully avoided a
collision of arms, and will do nothing to pro-
duce one, if it can be avoided.
The New York News stands up manfully
against the Lincoln mob coercionists in that
city. After detailing the threats and thin ex-
tent of the mob organization, the News thus de-
fies its fanatical enemies :
We have only to say to our misguided fellow-
ritirpns that althouffh ^* oreaking the laws
they may inaugurate anarchy, destroy the gua-
rantees of life and property, set an example of
brutality, which will speedily recoil aeainst
themselves, we have none the less decidedly
nailed to the mast the standard of opposition to
the reckless, unnecessary war which has been
forced upon an unwilling country by Mr. Lin-
coln and his Cabinet, and no such violence as
is threatened can prevent it from flying. We
advocate peace. We have done, and shall con-
tinue to do so, by fair and lawful argument,
because we think that it is right: and we
should forfeit every claim to self-respect were
we to bend before the illegal blast which is en-
deavoring, for corrupt and unpatriotic purposes,
to close the mouths of those who see through
and resist their schemes.
It has be jn reported that there is a strong
and pervading sympáthy for the South in the
Southern portions of Illinois. Wedonotdoubt
its truth. That region is settled principally by
natives of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, etc.
and tbe aflec.ion which they carried with them
fortheir native land has not been extinguished.
The following paragraph from a Iafe St. Louis
News, a serai-Lincoln sheet, confirms tbe re-
port :
The sentiment of the people of Southern
Illinois appears to be somewhat averse in fur-
nishing troops to the President to enforce his
new policy. We hear of no meetings in that
quarter to organize companies to be tendered to
the Government; and Egypt seems to be the
only spot in the entire North that escupes the
whirl wind now prevailing. It is said that a
meeting was held at Vienna, Johnson county,
Illinois, last week at which resolutions were
pasped in favor of separation of that region
from the Stite, and annexation to the Border
Slave States.

Montgomery, May 6. -An act passed, from
which secrecy was removed, recognizing the
existence of war with the United States, and
concerning letters of matque and reprisal and
prize goods.
The act authorizes the granting of letters of
marque and reprisal on certain goods ; a pro-
viso announces the doctrine ot free ships to
make free goods ; and thirty days are allowed
Federal vessels now at the ports of tbe Confed-
erate States ft,i the purpose of lawful com-
merce to return to their homes.
i-ir Gen. Scott seems determined to keep
open the communication between Washington
and the North. The New York flerald says :
The road from Annapolis to Washington is
well protected by Government troops, large bo-
dies of men being posted at intermediate sta-
tions, so as to repel all attacks of the seces-
sionists a-nl keep the way open for our troops
to the capital. Gen. Butler, of the Massachu-
setts forces, fays that there is a musket guard-
ing every rail between Annapolis and Wash-
ington, so that the communication with Wash-
ington may bo considered intact. Meantime the
Superintendent of the railroad has been ar-
rested for taking up the rails. The President
ordered tbe Secretary of War to take posses-
sion of the road from the Junction to Annapo-
lis, and the road from Baltimore to Vork, Pa.,
known as the Northern and Central road.
The only means of communication between
Washington City and the Virginia shore is by
the Long Bridge. This bridge is now guarded
at the Washington end by about 500 men, with-
out artillery.
The Tenth Legion siys : " Troops,consisting
of cavalry and every description of infantry,
are daily arriving by railroad from the counties
of Rockbridge, Augusta, Rockingham, Ac., on
their way to the seat of war. On Sunday last
Soma 400 wt nt down in the cara, and a com-
pany of cavalry from Lexington. Several
companies are yet back. The whole county
is in arms, and if necessary, Virginia can
furnish one hundred thousand volunteers to
meet the Federal army, and to expel the Aboli-
tion despot and his camp-followers from our
soil."
Gripe Vi*es.—Those who have young
grape vines siould not allow them to bear but
a very few c usters of fruit for several years
until the vines attain considerable strength and
size. Pinch off the superfluous clusters early
iu the seasoi. Also extra shoots should be
pinched off vihile young and tender. If the
vine is intended for an arber, but one stalk
should be allowed to grow, and this should not
be allowed to branch for several feet from the
ground. All extra should be pinched off.—
Substantial grape arbors, with good corner
posts planted deep in the ground, should be
provided where they are needed, in season for
tbe branches of the young vines to spread
themselves ard extend out in all directions du-
ring the growing season. A good grape vine
in the end pays well for all these extra atten-
tions.
^ hen convenient, vines may be easily train-
ed to the sides of buildings" of any kind by
driving tacks two-thirds their length in various
directions abeve, and tying the different branch
es with strings to them. Loops of leather
tacked on so as to hold the different branches
would be bettor still. Vines do extremely well
trained in this manner : besides tbe roots seem
to give more strength and fruitfulness to the
vine when they extend under an old building

Pensacola, Sunday night, May 5.—The rail

Maryland.
Several persons have been arrested in the
neighborhood of Annapolis as spies, and some
had made accurate surveys and minute details
of the operations there.
The sloop-of-war Allegheny, the Forward,
the Baltic and the Kedar are off Annapolis.
A gentleman just arrived from Baltimore in-
forms the Jiew Vork Herald that the Northern
troops cannot get through Baltimore without
meeting a warm reception. The peace parly is
powerless.
Seven hundred troops left Annapolis in a
steamer bound out, Friday night, with a batte-
ry. It is generally understood that these are
ordered to land near Baltimore, to co-ojierate
with the troops approaching from the North.
The Maryland Legislature appointed a Com-

A Heavy Advance in Cotton.
Portland, Me., May 8.—The Canadian mail
steamship North American, from Liverpool on
Thursday April 24, and Londonderry the even-
ing of the 26th, has arrived here, bringing two
days later news than we had by t'oe City of
Baltimore.
Liverpool, April 26.—The sales of cotton in
Liverpool the past week consisted of 80,000
bales, of which speculators and exporters each
took 12,000.
The week's business closed active at a par-
tial advance of %d. on good qualities, which
are scarce.
The sales to-day (Friday) amounted to 20,-
000 bales, the steamer's news causing an up-
ward and excited market, owing to the hóstili
ties at Charleston. All qualities of Cotton ad-
vanced %d., and holders were demanding J^d.

Thousands are daily speaking in the praise of
I)R. EATON'S
INFANTILE CORDIAL)
And why ? because it never fails to afford inetitti-
taneous relief when given in time. It acls as if by
magic, and one trial alone will convince you that
what we say is true. It contains
No Paregoric or Opiate
of any kind, and therefore relieves ky removing the
sufferings of your child, instead of by deadening its
sensibilities. For this reason, it commends itself as
the only reliable preparation now known lor Chil-
dren Teething, Úiarrhoea, Dysintery. Uripino in
the Bowels, Acidity o* the Stomach, Wind, Cold
in the Head, and Croip ; also, for Softening the
Gums, Reducing Infiamation, Kegulating the Bowels,
and relieving pain, it lias no equal—being an anti
spasmodic it is used with unfailing success in all
cases of Convi'lbion or other Fits. As j ou value
the life and health of your children, and wish to save
them from those sad and blighting consequences which
are certain to result from the use of narcotics of which
all other remedies for Infantile Complaints are com-
posed, take none but DR. KATON'S INFANTILE
CORDIAL, this you can rely upon. It is perfectly
harmless, and cannot injure the most delicate infant.
