YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSO-
TION.
Mb. Edhob For some time it has been
lis fcontimptttioa to organise, at a obnven
ient time, in our city, one of those useful ass o-
ciations, which are spreadinyover the chris-
stian world so rapidly, and which are every
where exerting so beneficial an influence,
an association bearing the title which heads
this article. In this respect, our neighbors
of Galveston have set us a geod example.—
I am glad to be able to say that such an as-
sociation has been organized, and is now in
successful operation at the Island city.—
About one thousand dollars has been raised
to rent a room and furnish it with books,
periodicals, newspapers, etc. A good part
of this sum was subscribed by the "mer-
chant princes" of that city. I am confi-
dent our msreliants will riot be behind them
in promoting an enterprise that will tell so
powerfully upon the best interests of our
eity. lam sure that nothing is needed, but
that some one who has influence with the
merchants, should take this matter in hand,
and set en fbjit this enterprise.
What ever ong^tto be done can be done.
We ought to have a chiistian association in
oar city. We can have such an associa-
tion.

the barometer has gradually fallen from
80.6 on yesterday to 29.8 to-day, aad ind -
cates that the rain will continue two or three
days, and makea good deal of mud in the
streets- If no accident happens to the
weather, this may be expected, e. t o. is
as they say abont 1st January bills.
Millard Fillmbm.—We now and then
hear gentlemen in Texas, wish for another
opportunitj to vote for Millard Fillmore
for President, and at least one paper in the
State, and thai published in the midst of the
largest slaveholdiig community in Texas,
openly advocates his claims for tho office.—
Lately there was a great Onion meeting at
No* York, and Millard Filhhore was invit-
ed to be present. Ifa didn't go but addres-
sed a "Union" letter, from which we make
tbe following extracts:
But it seems to me that if my opinions
are of any tmportauca to my count rymee,
tbey now leave them in a much more res-
ponsible and satisfactory form than I coutd
give them by participating in (be pro-
ceedings of any meeting. My senti-
ment .on this unfortunate question of slave-
ry, and .the constitutional tights of tbe
South in regard to it, have not changed
since they were madq manifest to the whole
country by the performance of % painful
official duty in approving and enforc-
ing the fugitive slave law. What the con-
stitution gives I would conce e at every
sacrifice. I would not seek to enjoy its
benefits without its burdens and its respon-
sibilities. I know of no other rule of po-
litical right or expediency. Thoae were my
sentiments then—they are my sentiments
now. I stand by the constitution of my
country at every hazard, and am prepared
to maintain it at every sacrifice.
Speaking.of the Kansas troubles, he says:
Pandora's box of slavery was again open-
ed by what I conceive to be an unjustifia-
ble attempt to force slavery into Kansas by
a repeal of the Missouri compromise, and
tbe flood of evils now swelling and threat-
ening to overthrow the constitution, and
sweep away i he foundation of the govern-
ment itself, and deluge this land with fra-
ternal blood, may all be traeed to this un-
fortunate act.
* * * *And, thanks to an overruling
Provfdence, this question of slavery in Kan-
sas is now also settled, and settled in favor
of freedom. The North has triumphed and,
baying triumphed, let her, by her magnan-
imity and generosity to her Southern breth
ren, show that the contest on her part was
one of principle, and not of personal hatred
or the low ambition of a sectional triumph.
New Fillmore is doubtless a Union man,
and it probably quite commendable in him,
but is he exactly the right sort of a man for
slaveholders to vote for ? Do slaveholders
prefer such a man, to one who is from prin-
ciple democratic, and conseqeently not anti
slavery ? For us Fillmore is donbtless pre-
ferable to several. But is he a man to be
desired? We think not, and do not hesi-
tate to say so. He isno friend of the Sonth,
and no man to receive Southern votes..

EVENTS AT BROWNSVILLE.
From the Flag of the 29th ult., we con-
dense the following continuation of the nar-
rative nf events;
Wednesday 21.--The regular And ranger
force left Brownsville in pursuit of Corti-

vance under Capt. Ford, main body under
Maj. Hentzelman, and rear guard under
Capt. Tobin. Cortina had left three days
before with 360 men. While at Edinburg,
he entered the store of J. N. TreviBo & Bro.,
and helped himself to Uro or three hundred
dollars worth of goods. On the 24tb, Cor-
tina took Rio Grande city without resis-
tance, there-being but 36 armed men in the
place, and he having 425 men. 'He sent a
force to Ringgold barracks, which billed
Mr. Robertson, Mr. Cox and.Capt. Spears,
all well esteemed citizens of the &io Grande
and two others, names unknown.
Later.
We learn by a letter from the Postmaster
at Brownsville to the Civilian, under date of
31st ult., that the rangers and U. S. sold-
iers overtook Cortina, after "a forced, march
of 61 miles in 24 hfaurs, at Rio Grande city,
surprised and routed him. He escaped
across the Rio Grande, heaving from 46 to
60 men dead on the streets. Fifteen Amer-
icans wounded, hone killed. Ford was
wounded slightly. He distinguished him-
self by his valor.

ing. Those for the South were gotten off

usual Liverpool commercial circulars for
the week ending the 17th ult.
James Hewitt & Cn.'s circular says that
the cotton market closed the week's business
dull and drooping, with a decline of l-lt>@
£d. Surats bad, in many cases, obtained
the preference over commou American. On
the 15tb, however, in consequence of ad-
verse winds, spinners came torward more
freely, thus checking the downward move-
ment and causing tbe market to close with
more steadiness Nevertheless it is evi-
dent that there is a desire among holders to
press the sales. >

warded lrom this city to-day, from a large
stockholder of the Pacific Railroad, instruc-
ing his agent at New Orleans to decline an
otter tor §20,000 worth of stock, at par.
Tbe feeling of the stockholders in this
oity is very much in favor of holding on to
tbe stock, being confident of a decided ad-
vance the moment Mr. Thompson accepts
the Presidency.
Letters received by President Fowlkes
from Mr. Thompson have no doubt whatever
that Mr. Thomp-en will accept.
Mr. Thompson is expected to meet Dr.
Fowlkes, Mr. Tail, tbe Land Commissioner,
and Mr. Stephenson, the general agent of
the .road, at Louisville, next we-it.

those who seek to interfere with the insti-
tutions of her sister States North or South.
In referring to the slavery question in
the States and territories,' Gov. Morgan
says that he yields cheerful obedience to the

laid on the table.
Mr. Brown, in speaking of the President's
message, disagreed with the President in
his statement that the question of slavery
in the Territories had been settled. He ac-
knowledged that the judiciary had done all
in their power, but held that more legisla-
tion was necessary.
Messrs. Doolittle and Pagh opposed any
further legislation on the subject.
ni the House to-day Mr. Boyce concluded
bis speech which was interrupted by the
adjournment last week.
English charged the Republicans with en-
deavoring to reopen the Kansas compromise
question for the purpose of acquiring politi-
cal capital for the coming political contest.

"Belle Colline,"
Washington Co. Texas, Dec. 5, 1859.
Mr. Editor—Dear Sir:
I see in the Telegraph various accounts
of the eold weather of the present month as
felt in different parts of Texas; but not
having noticed any from our county, I for-
ward this to you for publication, if you
deem it proper, i. *- ■ v
The thermometrical observations were as
follows:
* Dec, 31st, 65°. Deo. 2d, 29°66/. Dec.
3d, 27°33'. Dec. 7,12°. Dec. 8, 17°33'.
Dec. 9, 29°34/.
Mean temperature for the 1st week: 1st
to 8th inclusive, 37°40/.
It began to rain on the night of the 1st at
11P M.; at 3 A.M. of the 2d, it became sleet,
and continued on until 3 P. M. of the 3d,
when it measured 3 inches. The modera-
tion of Monday the 5th, did not melt all of
jt, and on the morning of the 6th at 3 A.
M., it began to snow, and did not cease
until 1 P. M. of that day, and at that.hour
it was 1 inch deep, the wind being of such
force as to prevent its accumulating so as
to show its real quantity. Tbe protected
guage showed 1J inches. The thermometer
on Wednesday morning, 7th, at 7 A. M.,
was down to 8°—not as some papers report,
below zero, but 8° above—rather a cold
snap for 3° 31' of lattitude. Snow was
still in shaded places on the 14th.
The effects of the severe cold upon stock
and hogs, was severe—a large number of
hjgs freezing; also many sheep dying from
its effects. Our peach trees are very nearly
an entire ruin, nine tenthB having been
killed. Tbe wild peach in the bottoms, in
some places, are also killed. The live oak
leaves, in many places, are felling, the tree
being as leafless as any trep in the forest.
This will be long remembered as the cold
winter. Our county* is improving,; seve-
ral new comers, heavy planters, having
come into our section. The west end of
this county has been overlooked very great-
ly by those hunting land, but tbe Air Line
Railroad will pass immediately through it,
and then we will ."be in town."
A happy new year and mnch prosperity
to you and ynur city. G.
austis, Jan. 3.
M«. Editor :—The Governor has sent
Hons. Bob Taylor and Angel Navarro to the
Rio Qrande to ascertain the cause of the
disturbances in tbat section of the State,
and with power to muster into service, or
disband the troops. He bas also appointed
Capt. Dalrymple of Williamson county to
raise a company for tbe frontier protection
A bill to define the liabilities of common
carriers; has passed the House; also a bill
to organize county and town Agricultural
Societies, which will pass the Senate.
The Court of Claims bill is now under
debate and consideration in the House.
Messrs. Gentry, Cone and Gray arrived
this morning.
There is some doubt whether the office of
State Engineer will be continued, but it id
evident some kind of an officer, having s
supervision over the pu lie works, shoula
be retained. Yours Truly,
_ HARRIS.
Editor Telegraph :
I hope that tbe parents and guardians of
Houston, now that Christmas and New
Year's day are over, will make one united
effort to fill up onr schools. I speak not o
any one school, but of all the schools of the
city. Let each give their patronage to the
school which tbey prefer, but by all means,
let our youth be taken from the street
school and placed nnder some f:uthfrl, well
qualified and efficient teacher.
I have been spending a few days in Gal-
veston, and I find that the per pie of that
place are determined to surpass us in the
matter of education, if practicable. I am
pleased to find a great waking 0p of inter-
est on tbat subject, among our neighbors of
that city. We have a much hotter educa-
tional building than any possessed by the
citizens of tbat city. Our Academy is now
well supplied with teachers. Besides we
have several.private schools, under the con
(rol of well qualified and excellent teachers,
io that all can now have the choice of
ihools and teachers; so if any of our ris-
ing race are permitted to grow up in igno-
rance, their parents or guardians are left
without excuse.
Shall not the aggregate number of our
ydLth at school reach during the month ol
Jaiuary, at least five hundred?

Nation's hroe, while fancies bright flit o'er
His wakefd vision, betokening of
His countr|s pride, and of her future
Glory. i
All, all tl> deepest homage give, and
Yield that dhmond of their hearts to heed
The voice ofaim whose soul heeds not
Tbe cry of hapless millions now,
And who.liasilrank with quenchless thirst
The widow's Wars,-and feasted on the
Orphan's wans.
Ah ! too, thj statesman in his pomp, with
All his love ofcountry's right, wears
Every robe of Ration's choice, tbat almost
Equals Rome'sfroud time, and yet bis&ame
Perchance mayiglow a day, and then
Forever pass atay.
But thou, ablossom yet to bloom,
With eveiv tint and hue,
Shouldst nolnpon our sky yet loom—
Ah! yes, ny country's true!
Ah prond shout be thy heart young man,
Tho' thou hast neter yet been called to
Hearken to the mistering clash of war's
Dread cannon's rotr, or summoned yet to
Stamp thy name along the senior, taller
Lights that glow lion our country's page
With names and ho^ deeds so bright;
But tbou bast yet aname that's knewn,
Far wider than thoi could'st conc'eye
A fame that soon friin zone to zone
Will reach, and glady all receive. «
Go on, thou friend and never yield
Thy trustful spirit y|t;
The nation's heart wll ever feel
What thon canst ne'i forget.
Trim up thy midnight taper bright, and
Let its lingering flame burn long, and
May its truthful lightlyet shine as
Brilliant as the diamoid hidden in its
Secret mine. And mag thy genial soul e'er
Feel the warming flanu till thou canst put
Thy mad'ning foes to slfcme.
Yea, friend, burn on tty oil at
Latest hour, and seek tfc freshest wreath
Unbought, tbat ever deofcd abrow unsought
And long may its entwinag gems
Encircle thy bright geni^ wrought.
Long, long has been thy Untold toil
To gather fresher fame*
And few but know tbe miinight oil
That's lighted now thy feme.
Then toil on, thou grcyrinispreading germ.
And let the earth feel lab thy power!
Long may thy strength of Wt be firm,
To cheer our country's tlreatening hour.
There are no college halls, (as!
On which thou can'st now iume thy wing-
No, no such days with thee kve past—
Then to the breeze thy batner fling 1
Yes, to the wind now throw t wide,
And let its ample folds extfcid,
'Till distant ocean's rolling
Shall waft thejecho of thy
Cease not! oh never, 'till theVorth
And South shall quell their ^cke
And in one brotherhood stand ferth
In arms united strong.
No, never let thy life grow darl
Or genius pine before thy ev
For thou art now the brightest
To light us to our heaven. (

Alate Washington letter in the Siarleston
Mercury says: "In tbe hall of tie House,
Senator Sumner, of Massachusets, occa-
sionally appears. He seems not to have
suffered materially from tbe harsh teatmem
to which his medical advisers thouin prop-
er to subject him. It is underatnd that
the well known Senator expects so« to oc-
cupy the attention of the Senate, Then he
will produce a studied effort, to wtch all

tertain hopes of reporting considorable pro-

The holidays have prevented transactions
for the most part, and we hear of no con-
siderable 8 «les within the week. At the
same time the news from abroad being a
shade more favorable, we are inclined to
think that the market will rally to 10@—for
Middling. We omit quotations.

WEEKLY REVIEW. . \
Tbe customary relaxation from bu^ness
on account of the holiday has to som« ex-
tent characterized the past week, and tade
has been comparatively inactive incatse-
quence. Still the fall trade was so inch
deferred by the epidemic that a good defee
of activity still prevails, and January bds
fair to be much more of a business moih
than usual. A great deal of cotton is Btll
on the way. We hear of thousands of bats
at the depots on the Central and Westea
roads, and bund< eds of wagons on their w
to market. A great many planters als<
have deferred their usual winter visit t(
Houston until after the holidays, and we are
inclined to believe tbat we shall not see thf
usual vacation between the Fall and Spring
trade this winter. - It is, perhaps, fortunate
for those wbo have neglected to lay in their
supplies, that owing to unpreoedentedly
large purchases, and to this state of trade
having in a measure been anticipated, the
merchants have all good stocks of goodB on
band, and are able to comply any reason-
able want of their customers.
From the interior we learn that the cold
weather of December, although doing a
great deal of damage, has by no meanB done
the havoc anticipated. The wheat crop are
quite promising, the cotton fields are in ex-
cellent condition for tho Spring work. The
sugar cane is even less injured than we re-
ported last week. A gentleman from the
Guff rrairie Plantations assures us tbat
much of the stubble appears sound, and
many plant eis are quite sanguine of a fair
start yet, for a tolerable crop this year.
The operations on the railroads have been
checked by the holidays, but work is now
bting actively pushed abead on all of them.
We are glad to learn that tbat the Eastern
Texas road, running from Sabine Pass into
the heart of Eastern Texas, has been char-
tered. There had been already considera-
ble grading done, over twenty miles we
have been assured by reliable parties. Work,
