The London Quarterly for January

Tk Cotton P lanter's Manual. We
have received a copy of this excellent work
from its author J. A. Turner. Mr. Tur-
ner is a Georgian and apparently a man of
great practical experience. JIc examines
the ordinary method of cotton culture ;
Dr. N. B. Cloud's Improved System ; the
natural history of cotton its species and
varieties diseases destructive insects &c. He
also analyses the cotton plant in reference
to manures &o. The consumption of cot-
ton by professer McKay is brought down
to the present time and an interesting ac-
count is given of the cotton trade the his-
tory of cotton and the cotton gin. The
book is invaluable and ought to be in every
planters hands.
We see by Marschalk's Weekly In-
dependent that this spirited little sheet is
about being located at Beltoa in order to
obtain better support. The editor gets on
some witty explanations for his new move.
We must wish him " better luck next time."
W The Woodville Messenger has
changed conductors. Rev. N. A. Penland
the editor a worthy gentleman and good
write'1 retires ic favor of Messrs. Parsons
and Morton. We wish the latter gentlemen
success in their enterprise.
Runnels in Tarrant County. We
learn that several of the beats in Tarrant
county have appointed delegates to a Con-
vention to be held in Birdville on the 23rd
March to send delegates to Waco. This
will be the eecond county convention ; the
Unit having been held on the 2Sth Februa-
ry in the town of Fort Worth and instruc-
ted in favor of Hon. M. T. Johnson.
gpK It will be seen by the proceedings
on our outside that the Democracy of Leon
of Colorado and of Red River kave put
forward Col. Runnels as their first choice
and that Limestone puts him forward as her
second choice We also learn that Choke
county has nominated him.
Democracy of Galveston We have
not reoei ved a copy of the proceedings of the
Democratic Convention of Galveston and
the papers containing them are not at hand.
Will the Secretary forward us a copy ?

liamson is the democratic nominee of Wil-
liamson and Burnett counties for the Leg-
ialature. He is a gentleman who stands
rery high for his good sound sense pretti-
es! ideas and social worth. Educated in the
old State Rights school of Virginia he is
at the present Secretary of the Interior used
to say democrat by instinct. He will be
watmly sustained by the hardy sons of those
counties and we predict for him a strong
and triumphant vote at th -. ballot-box.

this firm-" State Gazette
A late number of the Rusk Enquirer
copies the above extract end proceeds with
an article endeavoring vainly however to
sustain the Messrs. Mills' in their banking
operations an J taking to task the Gazette
for its expression of opinion upon the sub-
ject also sympathises with the aforesaid
gentlemen in that at last their speculating
schemes have received a decisive check.
For years past the Messrs. Mils have
been engaged in putting into circuhtion a
paper currency entirely worthless in'iseif
and only obtaining credit from the endsrse-
rnent of the above named gentlemen.

its issues which are utterly worthless save j
with the endorsement ot tne uiessrs. jmihs.
In short the concern is entirely under their
control and management and they in fact
constitute the Northern Bank of Miss. In
this manner they have for years success-
fully evaded our banking laws and carried
on their illegal shaving operations with im-
punity. But we are glad that sure justice
though somewhat tardy has at last overta-
ken them and that they will.in all proba-
bility be compelled to disgora a small
portion of their illegally gott gms.-

Mr. Burlingame appears to be ruuning
very thin. At New York in alluding to
the contest between the south and the east
in case the Union was dissolved he
asked
"Where could the South get their army.
He knew that they had Generals enough
every slave-holder was at least a Major ;
but where could they find the ranks and
file ? Among the sand-hillers of South
Carolina ? This day we'are fighting the
battle for the clay-eater and the sand-hiller
of the South more than for ourselves.
(Cheers.) Suppose that they could get
these men into some sort of aline under the
command of South Carolina's most gallant

they could get northern men to go down

who.alked about going down with their
coidnk on their backs to fight. Their coffin

coffin ; rder coffin ; ground coffin ; that
would pAhably be their last manoeuvre.

ter to take it tan they did to defend it there
would not be Miuch danger. (Laughter
and applause.) We could tell Mr. Toombs

Last evening in the wood my May
Thus sang with glee :
" Bat love is very strong they say ;
Bring him to me.
Mr neck his yoke with willinir xeel
Shall ne'er enslave ; '
Nor tip my brow his burning seal
Shall he engrave."
Softly behind bar now I glide
And o'er her brow
A single kiss no more I tried
She felt its glow.
Blushing she turned to scream with fear
Her flush I caw.
And fondly whispered ia her ear
To love is law.
Then forth a thuusand fluvers spruug.
And o'er that place
The pink and od'ruus tuberose flung
A perfumed grace.
The birds sent forth a sweeter song
Among the trees.
Asd love's suf sigh seemed borne along
Upou the breeze.
The vine with greater pleasure clung
Around the oak ;
A softer sweeter burdrn sung
The mum'ring brook
Its lightcome wave was rippling there
To kis the shore
And echo answered afVIjr where
To love is law.
A pijus minister after lecturing a rag-
ged Sunday School class in a most edifying
manner proposed to close the exercise by
singing "Jordan" meaning the hymn
" On Jordan's stormy banks I stand."
The worthy man was horrified by hearing
the whole school immediately strike up
"Jordan am a hard road t- travel I believe."

THERE are many applications for duplicates
of Donation and Bounty warrants all of which are
now lying in your respective offices. It is impossi-
ble to know when such originals are really lost
and as the applicants in all instances swear to the
loss the result h is been and will continue to be
that the original in the bands of one locator con-
flicts with the duplicate in the hands of another
ud the ultimate consequence will be inextricable
confusion and almost end less litigation. To reme-
dy this it is requested that you will each return to
this office a complete list of all donations and
bounties on file in his office as promptly as possi-
ble ; nor can it be doubted that the legislature will
make a reasonable appropriation to pay for work
so necessary to the correct adjustment of our Land

physical and moral as well as the intellectual de-
velopment of the pupils under my charge. It will be
my object to make my pnpils think correctly and
wisely ou all subjects presented to instill into
their minds those great principles of moral recti-
tude calculated to make them happy and honored
in this life and acceptable to the most High in an
endless eternity to guard the physical and see that
it keeps pace with the intellectual and moral de-
velopment of my pupils.
The course of Instruction will embrace. Read-
ing Spelling Gramaiar Geography usoofmaps.

quired) Piano Forte and all the accomplishments
of aimiiar Institutions ic otherStates of the Union.

tion will embrace the inan'ifactory of all descrip-
tions of Willow Work snch as Baskets cbildrens

cure an endowment by Life Membership each
