Gonzales, Texas.
BY A. T.
In sylvan shades and woody bowers,
How sweet to spend the passing hours;
Where every leaf, and bod, and bloom,
With verdant hue, and sweet perfume,
Inspire the heart with tranquil peace,
And bid the storms of passion cease;
Where every thing is clothed in green—
Only the hand of God is seen I
No gilded dome, nor spacious hall,
Nor stately tower, nor granite wall,
Nor sculptured rock, nor palace fair,
Can with the forest trees compare.
The prairies wild, the lofty hills,
The gushing streams, the gentle rills,
The tender grass, the grazing herds,
The flowing plants, tlio singing birds,
The flowery fields, the gentle breeze,
That softly murmur through the trees—
Enchain tlio mind, the heart control,
And. bind the passions of the soul.
Amid such scencs tlio village stands,
With noble hearts and busy hands—
Yieing with each in the cause of truth,
To educate the generous youth—
To train tho mind, instruct the heart—
To act in life a noble part.
The College first in the noble cause,
Govern'd by wise and wholesome laws,
A beacon-light to. all around,
Its stately walls and classic ground,
Will send forth many a valiant youth,
To battle in the cause of truth,
In noble deeds both good and great—
An ornament to Church and State.
Tho Faculty a worthy band,
With hearts resolved together stand,
And toil with unrelenting care,
A lasting monument to rear!
Long may her consecratod halls,
Responsive to her country's calls,
Prepare her sons to take their stand,
As beacon lights in all the land—
Among the virtuous and great,
Of Old Sam Houston's noble State.
Gonzales, June 13,1858.
Remarkable Correspondence-
Tho New York Herald lays before its read-
ers a copy of a diplomatic correspondence
which took place in April, 1851, between Lord
Pahnerston and the Marquis of Miraflores,
Minister of Spain, with reference to tho sup-
pression of the Cuban slave trade. The letters
of the English Secretary aro short, sharp, and
decisive—those of tho Spanish official, pomp-
ous, evasive, and windy. Lord Palmerston
throws out a very palpable threat against
Spain, in case of the continuance of the traffic,
which he reprobates, and the Marquis of Mira-
flores replies in a stylo of bombastic sycophan-
cy- .
There is one remarkable sentence in Palmer-
ston's last note which we beg to submit to
Cañedo and his friends, as it contains matter
which ÍS, at thp same^ jfeirfling and piitr-
Afifl(r8talin| what tho Spanish Gov-
ernment ought to do, tho diplomatist says:
" But far different is the conduct of the
Captain General; and while, on one hand, he
shuts his eyes to criminal and disgracoful prac-
tices which it is his bounden duty to prevent,
he returns angry and discourteous answers to
communications which it is tho duty of Her
Majesty's officers in Cuba to mako to him.
" The Spanish Government will do well"?
consider that if such a course of proeccdi U
shall continue, the people of this country. '
stead of looking with displeasure at atte
which may bo made to sever Cuba fro*
Spanish monarch}', may be led to vie, 1
satisfaction, tho accomplishmentr" 1
which, in consequcnco of tho ^
Spanish colonial authorities
come the only moans of-f
commission of crimes v
solemnly bound itseV
and forever to pre ¿ .3
from committing.". '
Tho above is #
style in which J
foreign affairs Ü
We learn, says the Washington Union of
the Mth inst., that the Secretary of the Navy
has suspended the diataibution of the il d vot-
ed by Congress as extra compensation to those
engaged in the naval service on the coaBt of
California during the Mexican war. He had
reason to believe that measures were matured
for defrauding the Government by means of
false affidavits and forged certificates, and his
ordor of suspension waB issued to detect and
counteract these schemes of plunder. • It seems
to be yet unknown ip certain quarters that the
public treasury is under the protection of a
democratic administration.

NEW ORLEANS, JUNE 8, 1868.
Cotton.—The active movement in our great
staple, whloli we noticed toward the close of last
week, was followed by an unusual degree of dull-
ness in the early part of this, as buyers seemed to
have re.solved to withdraw rather than pay the
full prlceB insisted on by factors. Tho Intelligence
by the Arctic, published on Monday morning,
though favorable, seemed to disappoint specula-
tor , and the business of Saturday, Monday and
Tuesday did not exceed 8,000 bales at about pre-
vious rates. Wednesday was a very dull day, the
pies reaching barely 400 bales. Yesterday morn-
ing the Arabia's accounts wore beforo the public,
announcing -J-d. advance at Liverpool and quoting
middling at 6d. This seemed to stimulate the de-
mand scmewhat, and 5,000 baleo changed hands,
at lower rates lor the medium qualities, which, with
1,700 for the business to-day, would make a total
for the week of 10,000 bales, taken mostly for
England and France. The market closes with
moro firmness and regularity to-day, though all par-
ties are inclined to await later European accounts.
The receipts here, from 1st ofSeptember to date,
are 1,CSS,818 balen, against 1,882,708 to same date
last year; and at all the United Slates ports there is
an increase of 238,217 bales, as compared with lost
year. The stock on hand to-night is 180,850
bales, against 95,057 bales at the sometime last
year. The market closos firmly at our quotations:
