has nominated Judge B. C. Campbell, Gen.
E. B. Nichols and John Muller, Esq., as

jrOOE WATEOCS AAUN, AMD HIS
umucaJiBMT.
We think that the people of Texas have
much cans* of complaint agaiaat the Gov-
ernment of the United States for its delay
in briLging to trial this notorious judicial
offender. For more than ten years, the
press, the Legislature, and the people of
Texas, have endeavored, ia vain, to bring
Judge Watreus to a trial at the bar of the
Senate of Ike United States for the orises,
the corruptions, of which he stands
charged. Thns far he aad his confeder-
ates have baffled every effort to procure
evea a hearing of the complaints of our
Legislature and our people before the
Senate. Can it be said that our State has
ia this particular been treated with decent
consideration by Congress ? Let us sup-
pose that the Legislature and the united
voice of the people of New Tork, for ex-
ample, had preferred the same charges of
corruption against a Federal Judge of that
State, who can believe that he would not
have been brought to trial long ago T The
theory of our Government is that the
States have equal rights, but we may ask
is that the practice f The character of the
charges are such as would naturally make
Congress solicitous to have the matter
finally determined. It has been charged
that Judge Watrous has been secretly en-
gaged with non-residents " in speculating
in numerous tracts of land within his ju-
dicial district, the titles to which he knew
were in dispute, aad where litigation was
inevitable."
Second: That he prostituted his own
Court to aid himself and his partners in
this unprincipled speculation. ^
Third: "That he sat as Judge in the tri a
of oases where he was personally interest-
ed i tbe questions involved," and that be
participated in the improper procurement
of testimony to advance his own and part-
ners' interests, and that this was all done
to despoil many of our citizens of their
homes.
Fourth: That Judge Watrous has sought
to establish the fraudulent land certificates,
and so rob the State of twenty-four million
of acres of her public domain, when he
knows that these certificates were based
conclusively upon fraud, forgery and per
jury, and that he prostituted his own Court
for their establishment.
6(Si. That he has been engaged in'buying
and selling these fraudulent land certificates
whereby he became liable, under our law,
to the ignominious punishment of thirty-
nine lashes on the bare back. That by
false statements, he procured a Grand
Jury of his own court to sigu and publish
a report, to the effect that he was innocent
of this charge; when there has since been
discovered what is deemed the most con-
clusive record evidence of his guilt. It
has been strongly insinuated that Judge
Watrous and a former officer or receiver of
his court, have divided up a large fund that
was in litigation in his court and that the
United States District Attorney bas, term
after term, vainly endeavored to procure
from Judge Watrous an order to compel
-this defaulter to pay over the fund or any
part thereof. Many confidently predict
that Judge Watrous will never make the or-
der. It remeins to be seen whether he will
try the motion made by the District Attor-
ney at this or at any future term.
It would seem to us that a Judge who was
innocent of these damning [charges, would
himself demand a trial. By using their
efforts to defeat one, do Lnot he and his

largest and most fashionable audience of
the season assembled at the Theatre to wit-
ness the so highly praised performances of
little Maria, the Spanish dancing prodigy.
From the notices of the Galveston and New
Orleans press we were prepared to eipect
something more than ordinarily good, but
confess to have been surprised to see a beau-

rate in every step, self-possessed and fas-
cinating, even as a child. Of course, she
was compelled to repeat every performance
so satkusiastic was the applause aad so
imperative the encores of the audience.—
The number of ladies ia atteadance must
have been truly gratifying to the worthy

make his theatre a place of foshionable re-

friends, (or thosu who are
wards an acknowledgement of this guilt ?
While such charges are pending, who but
flobn Charles Watrous would ascend the
bench to try causes between honest men ?
What other people would have borne with
him so long as have Jihe patient and law
abiding people of Texas? But forbear-
ance on their part may cease to be a virtue;
particularly when it is remembered that
be had the insolence to say in his answer
before Congress, that our only cause of
complaint was, that he was a Judge too
honest for the people of Texas. What
matter has ever been before Congress
which was of more importance than that of
keeping pure the judicial ermine ? What
has been more neglected ? But it is a con-
solation to know that Texas will shortly
be delivered from this judicial monster.
What with the treatment of our petitions
for frontier defence; the treatment of our
petitions for the trial of Jndge Watrous;
the wrongs done us by anti-slavery raiders;
the total neglect of the coast defences of
this State; the abuse heaped upon us by
northern agitators, is it any wonder that
the people of Texas are dissatisfied with
their connection with the United States,
and are willing to units under the old flag
of independence again ?

A NEW PROPOSITION.—READ AND
SAY WHAT YOU THINK OP IT.
1. There are but twenty-two States in
this American Union, and South Carolina
has seceded to-day, as was anticipated,
there are but twenty-one. The eleven nul-
lifying States have not been in the Union
since the hour those acts were passed. The
twenty-one iemaining States are therefore
the only true, real confederation; four-
teen of them at the South, and seven at the
North, alone have claim to exercise gov-
ernment at Washington, and to decide who
is truly, properly and constitutionally
elected President, collect the electoral vote
of these States, and Breckenridge, not Lin-
coln, is truly elected. Certainly such
States as have in their sovereign capacity
as States, raised their standard of rebellion
against the United States Congress
against the Constitution, both in the Bpirit
and the letter, and against the authorita-
tive decision of the Supreme Court, can
have no right, either to be represented in
Congress, or in the electoral college.
2. If this subject should be brought be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United States
to-day, verdict according to the above
views, would be authoritatively rendered.
3. Let all the Southern States in their
State capacity, by convention, and after-
wards by delegates in a convention of
Southern States, assert this ground, and
send an honorable application to the seven
northwestern States, occupying the Mis-
sissippi valley, and propose to them to al-
low the eleven nullifying States to nullify
peaceably, and to cut off from them all
Federal relations, patronage, protection,
d national resource, and these tWentJ^-
e States thus retaining alike them1 sov-
ereignty and thoir (,
nstitute and perpetuate, "the glorious
lerican Union*" for this is all that re-
kins of that Union, the rest is fallen.
4. Let the fifteen Southern States in
the above method, declare their Federal
rights, and prosecute them before the Su-
preme Court of the United States, and ob-
tain verdict of Mr. Breckinridge's election,
acoording to the foregoing programme
prompt actio should be iaken by our
State, it is, therefore,

PUBLIC MEETING AT WASHINGTON.
At a large and enthusiastic meeting of
of the citizens of Washington and vicinity,
irrespective of party, Capt. B. B. Hutchin-
son was called to the chair, and A. E.
Watson requested to act as Secretary.
Qen. Crawford stated the object of the
meeting, and, on motion of Jno. R. Spann,
a committee was appointed to bring in
suitable resolutions. The chair appointed
the following gentlemen: Gen. G. W. Craw'
ford, Jno. R. Spann, Hardy Allen, Capt.
A. F. Felder, Jno. P. Evans, and D. W,
Shannon, who, after retiring, brought in
the following report, whioh was adopted
without a dissenting voice:
Events in the history of the present con-
federacy have transpired, which culmi-
nated in open violation of the rights, lib-
erties and privileges of the slaveholding
States, that system of government insti-
tuted by our fathers, as securing a common
interest between all of the States, is now
Beized upon by a sectional party, and is
attempted to be made the instrument of
tyranny—a tyranny the more odious, as
under the solemn pledges of sworn faith,
it has usurped the legitimate powers of
the Constitution, making it subservient to
a base spirit of sectional dominion.
A government is the object of a people's
reverence when administered in good faith;
beyond this it loses its vigor, and can only
be preserved by a power incompatible with
the true spirit of liberty.
Our Government, instituted for the
regulation of the polity of of these States,
was framed in devotion to their common
equality, security and sovereignty. It has
failed to be recognized in its intent by the
non-slaveholding States, which, for a series
of years, have carried on an unrelenting
attack upon the Constitutional rights of
the South. In view of the histery of the
past, in the inimical relations of the free
to the slaveholding States of this Confed-
eracy, we, the people of Washington, un-
qualifiedly declare the North has passed
laws infringing upon the Constitution,
which was the only bond of union that
bound us together; she has obstructed the
operation of constitutional laws enacted
for our protection, and made it penal to
get redress for wrongs committed on the
rights of citizens from the slaveholding
States.
She has erected public opinion into a
base inquisition, making it the cause of
religion and humanity to murder our citi-
zens, when seeking, by the written law of
the land, the recovery of their property.
She has put into power men, the repre-
sentatives of those aggrieved principles,
by a sectional vote, which, if submitted to,
could be only viewed in the humiliation of
the South, disinheriting her of that equali-
ty and honor guaranteed to her in the or-
iginal compact between the States.
She has dissolved her relations with us
and the integral portion of this Confed-
eracy, and resumed the functions of a sep-
arate government by the election of men
to power against our consent, and whose
principles are at war with our safety and
our honor as a free people.
We pledge ourselves, therefore, under

Huntsville, Dec. 13, 1860.
Db. Wm. Botd, and othkbs, Navasota:
Gents Tour esteemed favor of 8th
instant, inviting me to meet the people of
Navasota and vicinity on Saturday next,
and give my views upon the present polit-
ical crisis, was received on yesterday, since
whioh time I have been anxiously consid-
ering how I could arrange to be with you
on the oocasion referred to, but I find, on
looking around, that other duties will pre-
vent me the pleasure. I cau assure you
however, that although absent in person,
my heart will be in any movement you
may make at that time m the great cause
of Southern independence. All hope of
redress for our wrongs in the Union de-
serted my besom the moment Lincoln's
election was known, and nothing in my
judgment, is now left us, but to choose be-
tween unconditional submission to Blsck
Republican misrule, and a manly resist-
ance by the secession of Texas from the
Federal Union, at the earliest practica-
ble moment. There is no middle ground
that we can safely and reasonably occupy.
Some of our fellow-citizens, it seems to me
are slow to realize our present position.
They allow their affectionate natures
to cling to the memories of the dead
past, and will not, or cannot arouse
their minds to a full contemplation of the
stern realities of the present hour. They
say they love the Union, and it is like cut-
uag morr neari-turlnga to 7ieia it up. In
this they are uoubtless sinew_
•think for aJBoment, and analyse their own,
feelings and they will perceive that the
Union around which their heart's best af-
fections cluster, is the Union of the past,
and not of the present—that Union of
equality and fraternity, which was the le-
gitimate offspring of our patriotic sires of
1776—and not the present Union which is
the bastard offspring of a latergeneration.
The Union which they in truth loved, the
idol of their heart's best and holiest affec-
tions, is already dead—cruelly murdered
by its enemies, and a base born bastard—
a cross between the white and the black,
has, without our consent taken its plaoe;
and we are called upon to bestow upon this
miserable mongrel our best affeotions and
our most lender endearments. Can we be
humbugged by the bare-faced imposition 1
Does not the color—the sweet-scented
odor, and the woolly-head prove its spuri-
ous origin and destroy its pretended clSim
to rule over the white freemen of the South?
I know not how others may feel, but as for
me, sooner than submit to so base born a
rule, I would in the language of Gen. Hous-
ton, prefer "that Texas should re-enter
upon a national career, where, if no glory
awaited her, she would at least be free
from subjection by might to suoh a wrong
and shame." In conclusion allow me to
tender you the greetings of your brethren
in Walker, andte assure you in theirname
of their cordial co-operation in whatever
you may do, looking to the preservation of
the honor and independence of our beloved
State and section, in this hour of trial and
difficulty. With sentiments of high regard,
I remain very truly your friend and
Fellow Citizen, A. P. WILEY.
Special Dispatch to the Houatou Telegraph.
Galveston, Dec. 18, 1860.
The steamship Suwannee arrived at 4
P. M. She brings New Orleans dates of
the 16th.
Washington, Dec. 15.—The immediate
cause of Gen. Cass sending in his resig-
nation as Secretary of State, was the re
fusal of the President to send additional
reinforcements to Fort Moultrie.
On the other hand, Mr. Floyd, the Sec-
retary of War, would have resigned if the
President had done so.
In the meantime, Col. Huger, of South
Carolina, gives assurances that no danger
is apprehended, and no troops are needed.
New Yobk, Dec. 15.—The breaking up
of the Cabinet by the resignation of Gen.
Cass, and the alarming condition of the
caused another decline in stocks to-day.
The decline is several per cent, all
around.
Washington, Dec. 15.—It is authorita-
tively stated that the committee of thirty-
three on the political crisis, one from each
State of the Union is in favor of a compro-
mise.
In the mean time some of the Southern
have signed a card advising immediate se-
cession.
New York, Dec. 15.—A large and enthu-
siastic Union meeting of influential citi-
zens was held in this city at noon to-day,
to take into consideration the present poli-
tical condition of the country, and to
adopt measures to pacify the South, the
proposition which seemed to meet "with
general ^approval, to request Ex-President
Fillmore to proceed at once to the South as
a Commissioner in their behalf, to ascer-
tain the state of public opinion. The pro-
position ultimately prevailed, and Judge
Greene C, Bronson of New York, and
Richard Lathers were subsequently ap-
pointed as associate Commissioners.
Chableston, Dec. 15.—It is understood
here that the U. S. steam sloop-of-war
Brooklyn is to be prepared for sea, forth-
with, and to be held in readiness to pro-
ceed to the defence of the Government
forts near Charleston, at a moment's warn-
ing. '

Special correspondence of the Telegraph.
Meridian, Deo. 10, 1860.
Editor Telegraph—Dear Sir :—Some
three weeks since, Capt. Barry, with a
camp any of picktd men, started for the
frontier, to aid in capturing the red skins,
who a short time before droTe some two
hondred bead oi horses from Palo Pinto
county. Quite recently news reached us
of the murder of several persons in a fron-
tier county, and another company was at
once raised, and put en route to the locale
of these Indian depredations. We are all
on the qui vive, daily expecting to hear
that something has been done towards re-
lieving us from the presence of the sav-
age, and the terror which his presence is
go well calculated to oecasion. Capt. Bar-
ry ia a brave man, and has had much ex-
perience la fighting the red skins, and you
may anticipate hearing, in due time, that
some savages have been aent to their long
hemes, to the great relief of those who are
now trembling for the safety of their fain-
lies and property.
Thus far the winter has been very mild
and pleasant. For several days we have
had September weather, causing stock of
all kinds to rejoice, and alao the owners of
large and recently imported flock* of sheep.
Bosque county is admirably adapted to
the raising of sheep, and a very large
number of that invaluable quadruped are
1U>W cropping the rich grasses of her
beundleas prairies. The exports of wool
from this county will be very large next
will increase in quantity

Washington, Dec. 15.—Senator Benja
min, of Louisiana, contemplates making a
speech shortly in which he will advocate
the principles of secsssion.
The secessionists assert that several Eu-
ropean governments will promptly recog-
nize the independence of any of the seced-
ing States. It is reported in certain quar-
ters here that the French line of steamers
resigned to run between Havre and New
York will make New Orleans a terminus
instead of the formej place.
The President has appointed the fourth
of January next as a day of faeting and
prayer.
Intimations have been thrown out here
that the Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, of New
York, will be appointed Secretary of Stale
to succeed Gen Cass, resigned.
The assurances lately given that South
Carolina will not resist the federal author-
ity in that State, meets with but little con-
dence.
Major Gen. Scott who has been sum-
moned here, expresses it as his opinion
that additional United States troops should
be sent to South Carolina, both for the pro-
tection of public properly aud the forts
near Charleston. The President, however
opposes the counsel of Gen. Scott on pru-
dential groundB.
The House Committee of thirty-three,
one from each State, on the political con-
dition of the country, have adjourned till
Monday.
Washington, Dec. 15.—Gen. Cass the
late Secretary of State, now openly ex-
presses his opinion that the dissolution of
the Union is inevitable.
The President also feeling the import-
ance of the political crisis, recommends
that a day of national humiliation, fasting
and prayer.
It is believed Jiere that other changes
in the Cabinet are now probable, besides
the resignations of Secretaries Cobb and
Cass.
In the meantime both in the Senate and
in the House the Republicans endeavor to
avoid public debate as much as possible.
Their apparent policy is to leave the
South to have its own way, and to take its
own course.
New Orleahs, Dec. 15.—There is no
change in the money market.
The only rates at which any paper sells
at all are 15@18024 per cent., and no.
thing but first-class signatures can be
passed at th^ge rates.
The foreign exchange market opens very
light.
New Orleans, Saturday, Dec. lo.
COTTON.—The demand was renewed to-1
day, with unabated spirit, and the sales
comprised 13,500 bales at stiffer prices,
factors generally realizing outside figures.
