in( paragraph:
| M T1m auditorial report to the legislature of
j the indebtedneee of the Hut# reduces the na-
' vy debt under the scaling avilem to half the
face of tlie bonds which n m error evidently
U ' the bond« were really sold at m/jr instrad
of Jifty cents on the dollar. But auppose the
scaling law would propterly reduc* the debt
we then admit we owe on the bond r«taii*d

< And interest from Nov 1839 at 10
per cent per annum - - . 910000

which sum he is willing to invest together
with aa much more to b« furniahed by him-
self making fourteen hundred thousand dol-
Iar« - $ 1400000) in building railroad# through
Teaaa."
The writer argue* (bat it is an flceed^
ingly liberal proposition on the pari of
Mr. Dawaon and one that ii bound to re
ault eminently to the advantage of Texaa.
lie continuea :
"There waa no disposition to give to Mr
Daw.ion nny exclusive privileges The report
of Col Keitey chairman of the House Com-
mittee which I liavw not yet beenabir to refer
to expresses the hope I believe that if this
arrangement for tht* settlement of the Dawson
claim should be sffrs«-d to it might induce
others to come forward and settle upon the
same favorable term* to Teiaa ami as la b«-
lieved also to Ui«s creditor#.
It will he Men l>y tbe foregoing (hat the
COtl of the navy furnished hy Mr. Dawson
amounted to •110.000 and that the ten
l>er cent interest since that time swells the
aum to #350000 ; while the amount he
ctaimi reaches §7000041. If this he cor
reel the State of Texas Iinh assumed to
pay in this instance double the amount
she received and the writer in the News
contends that other claim* should he set-
tled in the same manner. In other words
it is our interest to pay out two dollars for
one in order to secure the money in interx
rial improvements. If the principle he
correct why not carry it out in relation to
every spec it-a of internal improvements f
W hy not make a contract to that effect with
every capitalist who will agree to build our
roads without looking to our creditors f
I he truth is Mr. Dawson's proposition
will not bear investigation. W« either owe
him justly what he claim* or we do not
If he in correct every dollar ought to be
paid him without imposing any conditions.
In it reasonable to suppose that Mr.
Dawson or any ono else .* going to exs
pend h large mini of money mid particu
11rly an amount over a million of dollar*
without a hill assurance that he haa made
a safe and vaiushle investment f Wo
think not.
The most of the old settlors of Texas
are in favor of discharging thin claim (it its
face value. Hut they do not take the same
view of other claims and while they might
he willing in view of the circumstances
to give him ail he asks they will not deal
in this manner with those who are desirous
of attaching themselves to hi* skirts.
We should like to see the merits of his
claim discussed without reference to his
proposition.
03" The Captain (ieneral of Cuba in a
recent proclamation in relation to the »Uve
trade dome* most thm( there
li/M been a treaty between Spain and Kng-
land having in view the abolition of slave-
ry in Cuba. The report ho says is an in*
vention " mite in every point offensive
lo our honor and ling—diametrically ops
po»ed to the sentiments of our C/ueen ami
I now repel it in her name ns an attempt
against the prosperity of the Island which
can neither now nor hereafter he consums
ni.ited while there remains in the Spanish
hreast the holy feeling ol justice and res
spect for the acquired rights of legitimate
property " He expresses however a tie-
termination to put down the slave trade at
all hazards.

owned throughout that period by its present
proprietor. Wo congratulate him upon
his success.
O-tT" The District Court of Itusk county
Hon. VV. YV. Morriss presiding convened
on Monday last. The Mag says that it is
thought the court will occupy the full timo
allowed (three weeks) without being able
to complete the business. The truth is
this District is too large and ought to be
divided ; for if the court cannot fin.sh the
bushiest ill the counties at this time what
will be the condition of affairs a few years
hence with our rapidly increasing popu-
lation.

It appear* that we have had the misfor-
tune to draw down upon us the comments
of the two papers at lletidernon - the In-
telligencer and Flap. The firfet is a whig
paper the second democratic. The Intel
ligencer is courteous and respectful; the
Flag quite the reverse. Its editor has evi
dently had his feathers combed the wrong
way . Miid cornea at us " like a fan-tail
pigeon." A short explanation wo imagine
will set all to rights again
1st. Wo did not mean to insinuate that
the proprietors of these journals were still
in partnership- one publishing a whig ami
the other a democratic paper; nor did wo
intend to question the purity of their mo
tivos nor their right to do what they have
done. Wo could not ho so discourteous.
'i'1 In mentioning the papers opposed to
(•eneral Houston's course it seema that we
lef'l out the name of the Flag. We assure
the editor that it was accidental. We
would not willingly do the Flag or its edi
tor injustice.
We hope that this explanation will he
satisfactory.

come to the notice he has received at our
hands even with the assurance that it can
never be reciprocated. We trust that the
occasion may never arise when such atteit

Very likely. Are defenceless ministers of

Meridian is in the habit of publishing every
thing in the least degree complimentary to

of the Star we feel assured will be deemed
peculiarly applicable to his condition.

We intended publishing the message of
President Pierce vetoing the " I»»»ai»o
Hill" in our present imup but finding that
it would occupv some four column* of our
paper we concluded to condense it end
place it on the inside. I'pon a reperusal
of the message however we mw that it
waa impossible to publish a synopsis of it
without doing injustice to the subject. W e
were therefore compelled to lay it over for
another week It is an able state rights
paper and will go far towards arresting the
tida of federal Aggression recently so pop
ular at the nstional capital. 'I he follow
iog remark* in regard to it are from the
Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser
" To the exclusion from our columns of
almost every thing elite to-day we publish
the President's veto message of the " In
sane Hill." The message is just such a
document as we had a right to expect from
a Democratic President of the I'nited
States. The wib! schemes of late concoct-
ed for squandering the public lands alike
reckless and unconstitutional need a salu«
tary check such ai this message gives
them. Expediency ha* for some tune been
overlooking the i'onititution — the early
principles upon which our government wan
administered have been lout sight of and
disregarded. It wax lime that step* should
be taken to bring us back to the ancient
safe old land marks and we have no doubt
that the country will hail this message an a
step in the right track
" A lengthy debate sprung up in the
Senate after the reading of the message
in which most of the Senators took part
Mr Hunter said that as it was proposed to
postpone the discussion on this message
this was not the proper occasion to enter
into the debate but when the time should
come tne friends of the President would
be well able to meet the Senator from
\ errnont. lie could not however allow
the occasion to pass without saying that
the country was deeply indebted to the
President for arresting this bill lie point-
ed out the vast importance of this exercise
of the Kxecutive veto ami promised to en
ter into the subject more fully hereafter.
Mr. Toombs maintained the soundness
of the principles which are enforced by the
President in hi* message. \\ hen the .SeitN
ate sai I he think proper to take up this
question I shall desire to be heard fully in
vindication of the principles set forth in
the message."
I lie Charleston Mercury says of the
rnesaage
" It is all we had hoped of it and a more
sound appropriate anil welcome Stale pa
per wo have not for a long time had the
pleasure of laying before our readers. I he
State Mights docrine shines in every para

clusions an overwhelming power with all
(hone who do not desire the States to he
stripped oI their sovereignty and the I rd-
eral (•overnment constituted an unlimited
despotism In South Carolina we leel con
fident the message will command an
hIiiiobI unanimous approval.
" Nor were we mistaken in anticipating
that the President would take his position
broadly enough (o cover not onl\ the lull
before him but every other project for ap
proprialing ttie puplic lands without an
|« llm U»virni|.nt 'II... Ilmno
stead hiJI which proposes lo give every
body a farm on the sole condition of hi*
accepting it mu»>t share the fate of its crazy
precursor. There are a legion of projects
ready to burst their sbelt's that will die
quietly under the spell ot the message
The political atmosphere will be purified
and Congress relieved from the response
bility of taking tare of the lunatics will
remember that it has some sober and ration
al duties to perform and that there is slill
some time lelt for their discharge. It is at
least to be hoped that such will bo the re
suit. We have often noticed that a Presi*»
denual veto almost certain! v exerts the mag
ical power of restoring the reign of com-
mon sense in Congress Not only the par-
ticular humbug on which it falls but liuiih
bugs in general get weak in the knees
and discover a disposition to slink out of
sight and lie close till the storm pastes"
Til* last nil iber of (ho Civilian ham r.n
article of some length in which the editor
takes ground in fiivor of the Nebraska
hill ; miii although (ion. Houston is not
named in the article we suppose our neigh-
bor u i»he» to he understood as opponed (o
(Jen. Houston on that question. We mis«
understood some previous remarks of that
paper as designed to vmdicste or justify
Ceil. Houston
We notice the position of the Civilian
on this question because that Journal has
generally In en considered the leading dem
ocratic organ of this State and because
we believe it is the first timj it hns ever
been known to oppose (»en. Houston on
any public question. In this connection
we may also observe that our whig neigh-
bor the Journal opposes the Nebraska
bill and has a long srticle in its last num-
ber in reply to the Civilian. The Journal
aupports (ten. Houston's vote but impeach
r« A14 — .Ymr».
We were not before aware that the Cls
vilian or indeed any other pafwr had been
generally considered the leading demo»
cratic organ in this State. Hut much more
than this are we surprised that the CiviU
ian should have become the opponent of
(•en. Houston. We regard that as impos
sible and think that the News must be
mistaken.

a\ (ino of the lf)th mst
\V asiiisuton Moy 15.— In the Senate
to clnv Mr. * ana spoke in Advocacy ol the
religious rrglits <<t American* abroad
In the House niter many motion* the
resolutions offered by Mr. Itirhardson were
adopted by 13*' to 66 Their object was
to reopen the debate on the Nebraska bill
on Saturday next and lav aside the Pacific |
Kail road bdl until the *2 Ith.
Mr Kichardson then moved the previous
(jueation which was laid on the table.
The proceedings were accompanied with
immense confusion fnd eicitement.
Mr t'raig of North Carolina in the
House called Mr. Hunt of Louisiana " a
factioiust" and in an offensive manner.
Mr. Hunt pronounced the charge a baae
falsehood.
Immense confusion arose which was

Mr. Craig was evidently the aggressor.
( We cannot perceive the grounds of this
declaration. From the tacts .s detailed

conduct was anything but correct or gen>
tlemanly J
A duel is anticipated.
W aSHIM; ion >1 ny Iti In the Senate
to day V|r Mallory offered a resolution
declaring that the course of Spain afloids
ju*l cause of apprehension and that her
design manifestly involves the carrying nut
a policy calculated to be detrimenl.nl to our
(ioveroment. I he resolution was laid over
on a vote having been taken after having
been discussed
In the House the d bate on the Nebras
ka bill was continued.
The difficulty between Messrs. Hunt
and ( raig v*as resumed to day Mr ( rafg
said thai Mr Hunt had strutted into a
sciapi- and was now trying to sneak out
of it.
It is believed that the anticipated duel
cannot now be avoided

Friend Ijoughery—In looking over your
paper of the *20th mat. I was amused at
seeing an article headed " Tall Corn"
taken from the Detroit Farmer's Company
ion. It is not to be supposed that city ed>
itora should know much about corn and
for thia reason it did not surprise ;ne to see
this story in the Saturday Kvening Post
1 and New York Journal of Commerce but
for the Farmer's Companion to rejieat it ia
decidedly rich. Now if there ia in the
llritish Museum an ear of corn having
either 20 or 211 rows of grain on it (or
indeed any other odd number) it is cer
tainly entitled to sll the distinguished con
sidrrution with which it is regarded. No
wonder that it was marveled at by John
Hull No wonder if took the highest dig*
nitaries of the land a long while to get
fairly up to a level with the fact; for such
an ear would be a greater curiosity to
most Farmers than the \ineveh Itull or
Urcai Kashinrr. Notv\ithstanding the as
sertion of the Farmer's Companion that
everybody sees it here with their own eyea
I fear that most persona in this region
will khare the incredulity of the Mucking-
hamshire farmers. In conclusion I would
recommend to the editor of the Company
ion that if any of hia frienda can furniah
him with a full sized ear of com contain
ing any odd numlrer of rowa of grain he
ought to send it to llarnum forthwith aa it
would no doubt prove aa great a curiosity
there aa at tho Hritiah Museum

The Tale ef Tsikty.
The most interesting feature in the Intel*
ligence from Kurope of which copi mi* de-
tails are given in tin' Knquir.»r of y e*terda\.
is tin* r«*|>lv «»f th»* Czar to tlio dedarati mi
of v* ar by Trance ami Kngland. The di-
plomatic papers of the Russian Chancellor
are never wanting in ability hut tiiiw la*t
manifesto in drawn ii|> with extraordiaary
nUill and power. To the impartial mind
it presents a conclusive ca*e against the li-
lies and it w ill doubtless exert considerable
influence on the pnnlic sentitnent of hu
rojw* Indeed the farther we explore the
origin of the Kastern war and the more
we scrutinize the motives of the cabinets
the stronger grows the conviction that per
sonal pique am! politicial jealousy piovok
ed the Western Powers to a rupture with
Kussin The ostensible motive lor the in
terference of l-'rance ami Kngland in the
Kussn- | iirki*h dispute wa« an allege*!
annietv to protect the independence ami in-
tegrity of the Ottoman Umpire against the
violence of Muscovite ambition. Iheh\
pocrisy of this pretence ha* been conclu-
hiv«*|\ demonstrated by the subsequent con
duct of the Allies They ha*e not only
suffered the Russian fleets and soldiers to
cut up the navy and army of the Porte but
they have themselves inflicted a crushing
blow on the authority of the tiovernment

would be a less evil to the Ottoman Km
1 pire than the treaty which Trance and Kn
gland have compelled the Sultan to accept
I'fie one ifisasier would lie partial in its ef
feet and perhaps of temporary duration
but the other is all-pervading and irretriev-
able. The treaty of Constantinople sub-
verts the Ottoman Dominion in liurope b\
a stroke of the pen. It is impossible that
four millions of Mussulmans can maintain
their ascendancy over the ten millions of
Christians whom this treaty emancipates
and elevates to an equality with their ops
pressors. The dominant race in Turkey
saw the danger of their position ami pro
tested with the utmost energy against the
concessions to the Christians The Sheik
el islam who is a more faithlul representa-
tive of the race and religion of the l urks
than the Sultan abdicated fbe prirnac)
rather than assent to the destruction of the
Moslem power. I his event kindled the
fanaticism of the Musselmau population to
a pitch of frenzy and the assassination of
the Sultan would have been fhe result but
for the presence ol the allied fleet. It is
impossible to get a correct representation
of the condition of things in Turkey but
enough transpires despite the rigid censor
ship of the French and llritish press lo
show that the friendly assistance of the
allies is even more obnoxious to the Tmks
than the hostility of Stussia. Strange as
the revolution might seem it is not improb
able that before the conclusion of the war
Turkey may be found fighting in alliance
with her enemy Hgainst her generous pro*
lectors. An intelligent correspondent from
1 London writes:
" Lord KedchftVs diplomacy at Constan
tinople begins (o bring forth its necessary
results. Discontent is growing among the
Turks seeing fhe delays in the arrival of
the auxiliary army and the preparations at
f*aiiipoli and Constantinople which seem
to indicate that the Anglo*French troops
are to garrison the capital and the Dardan
elles and not to fight the Russians on the
Danube while Omer Tasha is not permitted
to meet the progress of the enemy by an
attack upon .Moldo-Wailachia. The Turks
say ' Prince Menschikoff came looked
into the Koran and claimed that a portion
should be erased; we declared war rather
than submit. Ilut lo! Lord Itedclifle ar-
rived and looked likewise into the Koran
and now insists upon the whohl book being
thrown into the llosphorus; he claims it
under the pled of friendship and protection
but the friendship is treacherous and the
protection a sham.' "
Another correspondent uvi :
" A fueling iff doubt mistrust and hot
tilit y against their western alliea it gaining
possession of the Turks. I hey begin to
look on France and Knglnnd as more dan
gerout enemies than the i'zar himself and
the general cry is—' they are tfoing (o de>
throne the Sultan and divide tlie land —
they are gning lo make u« slaves to the
Christian population landing south of
Constantinople instead of north of Varna
the allies are fortifying (iullipoli Ngain»t the
Turks themselves. The tract of land oil
which the village is situated is a long
nimiula joined by a narrow isthmus lo the
continent and admirably adapted for a
•trongvhoJd for invader* It was there the
tienoese of old defiutl il.< <>r«ek limperors
of Constantinople. Be*.»!.•* the appoint
