From the Marshall Repnhlioan and Henderson
Democrat we learn the particulars of the discussions
at Henderson, Rusk county, and Carthage, Panola
county.
At Carthago,- on the 4th, says the Republican,
Gen. Houston," spoke first, and, from what we can
learn, made a failure. He was followed by Judge
Evans. They were replied to by Louis T. Wig-
fall, who made a speech of great power, completely
demolishing all their positions." The Republican
also asserts that attempts were made to prevent a
reply.'
A letter to the Republican ststes that Gen.
Houston and Mr. Evans, traveling together, spoke
1 "at Henderson on. the 6th. The writer says the De-
mocrats proposed to have Gen. Henderson and Mr.
Wigfall reply ; but that this was refused ; that Gen.
Houston spoke first to about 1,500 people >in a
private yard. When iei ooncluded, it was announc-
ed that Evans would follow after a recess of five mi-
nutes. The letter then says:
It was then announced by a Democrat, that Gen.
J. P. Henderson would reply immediately, at the
Conrthouae, to the speech just delivered, and re-
spfotfnlly invited all Who desired to hear him to go
over. At loast two-thirds of the crowd left. The
Courthoúee was incapable of holding more than
.two-thirds of this number.

A Village Dí^hoykd —The Ogdensburg (NY)
Sentinel states that o y the 8th inst. the village of
Brasher Iron Works, in that county, contained a
thriving and busy population. Before night the
whole village, the foundry, machine-shop, san
mills, and every dwelling in the place except six,
was Consumed as with the besom of destruction.
A fire that had previously raged in the woods was
driven by a wind from a point or-two south of
west, like a hail stonn, upon a doomed village. In
one hour forty-three buildings and fin m $76,000
to $100,000 worth of property wér reduced, to
ashes, and forty families made homeless.
Greatest Leap on Kecojld.—A Wisconsin pa
per, the Helena Shot-Tower (good name that for a
newspaper) records the greatest leap on record:
A horse, twelve years old, jumped from the bank
over a perpendicular precipice of one hundred and
eighty fe«t into the river below, and came out safe
and sound, after swinoiming nearly half a mile toa
suitable landing place. The watet, at the point
where the leap was made, was from twenty to
twenty-five feet deep.

"We can testify for Rhode Island. Mr. Gough,
has known the State about fifteen yeárs. We have'
known it as long, and we are sure that more liquor
is now. sold in tjbe State than has been sold at any
former period within that time. 'We know that
before Neal Dow's machine went into operation—
.say six years ago—there was not one-fifth as
many«grog shops or one-fifth as many drunkards
in the State as there are to-day. There were then
87 towns. There were twelve or fifteen in which
it w>s not sold openly; and thece were only five
in which licenses were grantedT Now it is sold
ogenly in every pne of the thirty-two towns; and
in Providence there are at least three times as many
grog shops as there were then. In the town of
Burrillville, six years ago, there was not a single
ig shop. We have had the Maine Law five

The Dallas Herald states that E. P. Nicholson,
Esq., of Dallas, H. G. Hendricks, Esq., of Sherman,
.and Austin B. Warren, Esq., of Cooke county, have
been appointed Commissioners under the provi-
sions of the 14th section of "un act to ascertain
the legal claims for money and land against the
State," passed 7th August, 1856, to examine the
records of the County Courts of the counties in
the limits of Peters' Colony, in which certificates
have been issued under the provisions of *'an act
relating to lands in Peters' Colony," approved 10th
February, 1852.
Anoxhkb Ohio Slave Cass.—At Cincinnati, on
the morning of the 15tli Inst., a warrant was issued
by the Commissioners for the arrest of two fugitive
slaves, a man and woman. Four deputy U. S.
Marshals were detailed to to&ke the arrest. Find-
ing the fugitives, they attempted to arrest them,
when the man made'a desperate resistance, danger-
ously wounding one of the deputy Marshals named
J; C. Elliott, by stabbing him with a long sword.—
After tbe negro had wounded Elliott, another of
tbe deputies shot him four times, in the abdomen
with a revolver. After the negro man was wounded,
both of the fugitives were taken into custody.
Dephty Marshal'Elliott's wound is not considered
dangerous, while it is thought that those of the
negro will prove mortal.
The "National" Convention of the
American party, which recently assembled at
Louisville, had no delegates from Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Ldbisiana,
Texas, Tennessee, Iowa, California—seventeen
States. The K. N.'sof Cincinnati, New York, Dela-
ware, Maryland, Virginia, Mississippi, Arkansas,
■Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and
Miohigan—thirteen States—consequently olaim the
right to speak for the Nation. Of these States, at
the last Presidential election, the K. N.'s. oarried
but one, the Republicans carried four, and the.
Democrats eight. It is not likely that a convention
thus organized, can control tbe politics of the Na-
tion.
.veiy denounced as a great sin,"
and Southerners as murderer ,"
u Ac. And tbey voted
sentiments as pertinept to their dutiee aa
i of God. The Southern members, of
course, withdrew from the Pharisees and thus the
Unitarian church separated -nto North and South.
The General VLaeembly of the New School Pres-
byterian chnroh, recently in session at Cleveland,
Ohio, was not qoite so indecent in language, but
pursued substantially the same course. They voitpd
that Southern slavery waa a sin ptr ——of itself;
that slaveholders were not fit to be members of thé
church or ministers of Christ; and that It was ttsfr
duty (piona followers of the meek and lovrly Savior)
to persecute, distract and epdanger the lives of the
eight or ten millions of white people .in the South,
in the vain attempt to turn our happy and oon
tented negros loose upon the world, a poor, ignor-
ant, dependent race, incapable of protecting them-
selves, and doomed inevitably, if freed, to beoome
the most improvident, abandoned and worst of be-
ings. The remonetrances of Southern preachers—
men devoted to religion nndeflled, snd- preaohing
as their fathers did before Satan entered'the folds
of the North—wore treated with polite contempt,
and, by spme ofthe more phrenzied disciples, with
hypocritical disdain. Here is another church, and
a large one, too—lead on by evil spirits,iwho sacre-
ligiously wear the robes of Christ,—-rent in twain.
The Amorioan Tiact Society, thirty odd years old,
compoaed of men belonging to half a dozen religi-
ous denominations,—professing to be Evangelioal
in its organization and-Objects—has also bowed its
head to the demon of anti: slavery fanaticism At
their late annual meeting in New York, the head
quarters of many abolition and humbugging orga-
nizations to which unwitting Southerners regularly
contribute their money, took under consideration
this question of destroying the Southern people
through incendiarism^ and servile war. The ques-
tion was sprung last year, and á committee ap-
pointed to report to this session. The result íb the.
adoption of several artfully oouohed abolition reso-
lutions, so framed by design as to rob Southern
Christians of their money, for the support of ,the'
Society, and yet allow it to send forth to tbe world
abolition poison and incendiarism. ;
It Is time, truly, for Sonthern Christians to look
these things steadily in the face, and prepare to
meet them. It is idle, suioidal, to be yoked with
unbelievers—men who, if they durst, would appear
as devils in carnate in the bosom . of our beloved
section of the Union—men who have forgotten,
abandoned their allegiance'to the 'Gospel, and seek
only to do that whioh is evil. Every Southerner
should refuse to contribute a farthing to tha Ameri-
can Tract Sooiety ; but let its former Southern sup-
porters unite in establishing one in the South, just
as the Methodist Church has nobly and successfully'
established its great. Publishing House - in Nash-
ville. 'Many prophesied that that enterprise would
prove a failure;.bUt they were sickly submissionists
who know not the Southern heart. The Nashville
House has triumphantly succeeded and is a monster
establishment already. Let every church which
separatee and every National Society which alie-
nates the South from it, do as the Methodists have
done, and ^smapstrate to the fonatios who have
grown plethoric-and Pharisaical through Southern
liberality, that we ar< independent of them.
Southern ministers now see that they, like
Southerh Statesmen in times we hope never to see
again, have gone too far in ooncessions, apologies
and compromises to that insatiable spirit of mie-
chief and wickedness which at last demands more
then they can concede and compels them, as a der-
nier resort, to cut the cord whioh binds them to un-
worthy, Gold'en-calf-worahipping brethren.
Anothib Mubdbbeb Lynched.—The San Anto-
nio Texan learns by a letter from its correspondent
in New Braunfels that a notorious horse thiet had
been caught and brought to that city, by the name
of Wm. Craig ; and he has been known by the
name ofWm. King, and Wm. Smith. He was ar-
rested about two miles from San Marcos. He ack-
nowledged that he stole the horse—that there
were a regularly organized band of horse thieves
in the country around with their signs and pass
words and that he was one of the party oí five
who murdered Dr. Thompson, and severely woun-
ded the two men with him, a few weeks ago, a few
miles from San Antonio; and th.at they got only
40 cents from the murdered man, not a dime a
piece. In a P. S. the Texan adds:
Since writing the above, we learn that the said
named Win. Craig, alias Wm. King, alias Wm.
Smith, was being brought from New Braunfels co
San Antonio on yesterday for tafe keeping in our
jail, and, when in the vicinity of the Salado, some
six or eight miles of our city, that be escaped; and
this morning be was found hanging to the limb of
a tree, not far from where he escaped.
Tps new steak tbiqate Ni+qaba, to be em-

Plain Spxaking.—The Earl of Oxford, in reply

to hsve this communication with you. I have long

Wiohita country.—We received a call yester-
day morning from Mr. Rucker, of Washington
county, who has been out to the Wichita Moun-
tains, locating the lands for the Texas Central
Railroad Company, and whose departure we notic-
ed some three months since. Mr. R. informs us
that he has located the lands North of Red River,
in a region of country that possesses all the natural
advantages to make it desirable. The land is rich,
well watered and timber plenty. The party con-
sisted of 41 persons, all of whom enjoyed good
health. But few Indians were seen, and all that
\hey met seemed not disposed to cultivate intimacy'
with the party. Five of their horses were stolen
during the expedition, which were supposed to
have been taken by the Kickapoos.
Mr. R. diffets with Mrl Pressler, draughtsman of
the General Land Office, who, in a letter published
in the Galveston Civilian, states that the Witchitas
were entirely out of the limits of the State. Mr. R.
takes as a basis of his locations, the calculation of
Capt. Marcy, in his explorations of the Red River,
which, as they were made by order of the 0. S.
Government, it would eeem should he correct. Mr.
R. feels confident that his locations are within the
limits of tÚé State.—Dallas Herald.
Mr. Rucker had with bim also, fp.r location, the
land certificates ot the Galveston canal company,
amounting to 61,000 acres.
Mas. McLean, the deluded woman whose hus
band slew Pratt, the Mormon elder, gives the foliow-
ing account of her sojourn inToxas, during her ef-
forts to oarry away her children from her husband
and parents, in order to give them to the Mormons,
Having described her concealment at New-Orleans,
she says—
At 8 o'olock on Thur d y morning, 18th of De-
cember 1856, we were on board the Atlantio, bound
for Texas. I could not obtain a stats room, although
I went on Tuesday to the agent; they were all taken.
The captain, however, was kind to us, and let us
oooupy his room, and sent us the best of everything.
At Galveston wp tpok a little steamer, Capt. Pierce,
oommander, for Harrisburg, where we stayed all
night at a hotel kept by Capt. Andrews, and next
morning took the oars for Houston. Two miles
from Houston we found a home at the house of Mr.
Wm. Gambell, who is a man of no religion, lives
well, has plenty of servants and children. His wi fe
wag like a mother to us. The-first three weeks I
made a ohange of olothing, and then sought for
something to do. Found employment in a dress-
making establishment, Mrs. Stanbury's, where I
worked five weeks, spending two days with my
children, Suhday to rest, and Monday to wash and
mend. On the 4tb of March I left Houston with
Capt. Andrews, Mr. Stanfield, and Jame8 Cammell,
the latter being a Mormon elder,) to journey to
Ellis oounty, where the Mormon emigration was
fitting out for a trip aoross the plains.
Through a letter from Houston 1 was surprised
that McLean was in pursuit of me ; and to avoid
trouble, and perhaps, bloodshed in the company, 1
took passage with a man by the name of Clark, who
is not a Mormon. He had a wife and three child-
ren, a poor wagon and three yoke of good oxen.
With these people I was journeying when Mo-
Lean and party met us. The soenes that have been
in progress from that day to this are before the

A Plxasant Surprise.—Charles Gould, Esq., of
the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, gave hisiriends
a dinner at the Burnet House last evening, when
upon the removal of the cloth, a surprising incident
took the company by storm. A railroad track had
beeh laid along the table concealed by the'cloth,
upon the removal of which the guests were Startled
by hearing the shrill shriek of as team Whistle, and
the ringing of the bell in a bouse, and it appeared
that there wss the St. Louis and tbe Cincinnati
Railroad depots splendidly designed in confectio-
nary, auid a minature locomotive, with a train of
ears, ran thf length of tbe table in the quickest
time, amid enthusiastic applause. So well pleased
were th.e company with the trip ofthe little locomo.
tive and train, that tbey caused it to do the same
thing over again repeatedly, sod it was found to be

upon them, not only -without their consent, bub
against the remonstrances of tbe Mayor, and ten
two Boards of the Common Council officially ex-
pressed, as well as the reg-eaentatives of the city in
the Legislature. " _ "
In a publication, made some time since, Msyor
Wood declared that he had taken position against
Its'recognition, from whioh be would' not be swer-
ved until compelled by the decision of competent
al tribunals; declaring at the same time, that
if, on a final hearing of the esse by tbe Court of
Appeal it shouid be decided that the act is not re-
pugnant to the constitution, lie would assume the
whole expense of carrying it there.
A portion Of the policemen under tbe old Board
having declared for the new, the former a short
time sinoe, appointed others in their places, thus
appointing two sets of men, claiming to bo inoum-
bents of the same offices The Democracy, too, in
the Board of Alderman, retaliated on the Republi-
can Legislature, by attempting to remove Republi-
cans from city offices. For instance, Polioe Justice
Davison^ of the Second Police Distriot Court, of the
Jefferson Market Court,is a Republican lb politics,
while the Alderman of the Ward, Mr. Banta, is a
Democrat. Tbo Alderman, therefore, proposed a
resolution removing Judge Daviaon to Yorkville,
and assigning Sherman J. Brownell, a well known
Democrat, to the Jefferson Market Court. Alder-
man Banta openly avowed that the reason for the
change was a political one—he J" wanted a Demo-
cratic Police Justice in his District, and Mr. Davi-
was a Republican." The Commeroial Advertiser,
whiob is not a partizan paper of the Democrats,
s ys that the "Board of Alde'rmsn-but applied the
same principle in a comparatively small matter, to
whioh the Legislature gave their sanation upon a
more Imposing scale. The cases are exactly paral-
lel, except in their magnitude, and fo the fact that
the Legislature, for their purpose, exeroised a doubt-
ful power, while the Board of Alderman have un-
doubted jurisdiction in the matter."
The result, to some extent, we heard by the tele-
graph last Saturday. There was a oonflictbetween
these rival polioe organizations. An order was
issued by the new Commissioners of Metropolitan
polioe (under the new State law,) for-the arrest of
the Mayor (Wood) and the Sheriff. The new pof
lice were driven from the City Hall with clubs, and
the military were ordered out. Six of the new po-
lice were badly hurt. The 7th Regiment (National
Guards) 600 strong, surrounded the oity hall, under
military orders- The Mayor had been arrested and
admitted to bail in the sum of 98,000. Subsequent-
ly he had issued a proclamation, calling on the
people of the city to maintain its laws againBt the
usurpers. Several persons had been wounded, and
some probably' mortally, though none had died.
The new Street Commissioner placed in office, (in
place of Taylor, recently deceased) by the Gover-
nor ot the State, had been forcibly ejected, and one
appointed by the Mayor put in office. Other and.
later dispatches announce that Mayor Wood has
surrendered himself to thel Coroner. The 12th Regi-
ment of the State Militia ,was .under arms to pre-
serve order. Crowds of excitéd people throng the
City Hall, which was ip possession of the old po-
lice, while a Judge Russell was hearin'g an argu-
ment for the release of Mayor Wood on a writ of
habeas tarpus.
Weather and. Crops.
The Corsicana Times, of June 4th, says—
Since the. heavy rain of Friday evening every
speoie8 of vegotation^seems to be growing with rap
idity. It came in good time and rained enough to
thoroughly saturate the earth. Some of the farmers
in this oounty have commenced harvesting their
wheat.
The Henderson Demoorat, of Jnne 18th, Says
Corn, Cotton, oats and wheat, though generally
backward, look well. They are generally beginning
to need rain, especially the corn.
The Henderson Banner, of June 12th, says—
Our county ia cheerful on account of the fine crops
of potatoes, wheat, rye, oats, corn and cotton,, for
the most part late but very promising. With fair
ráius from this time on, Rusk county will be one of
the richest counties in the State, pretty much out
of debt, with thousands of bales of cotton, and more
flour than she has ever made. It is known now
that ours is a good wheat growing, as well as a good
oorn and cotton raising oounty.
The Jeffeason (Texas) Gazette says that, between
that place and Henderson the stands of corn and
cotton are good, and the wheat will make as much
or more, than if it had never seen any frost. Tbe
weather, however, was hot and dry, though corn
andootton both appear to be growing well.
The Columbia Democrat of lait week mentions a
copious shower of rain. in .that vicinity. It learns
that in some parts of the county , Brazoria, there
has been a sufficiency to make the corn and ootton
crops, but that the rain was not general—some
plantations getting enough, while others adjoining
received none a tall
Fobt Bend county has been visited by refreshing
rains. The Richmond Reporter says that there
have been abundant rains pretty generally through-
out the oounty, and full heavy crops will certainly
be the result. No more rain is needed for the corn
prop, and but little for the ootton.

Queer Mops of Tbaykling.—A somewhat novel
craft came down the canal on Saturday afternoon
and tied up at the dock. It was a scow buit boat
about 15 feet long 3 feet wide ; but the novelty
consisted in the peculiar motive power, if being
towed by dogs. The boat was accompanied by
but one man—a cripple from infancy—having no
use of his limbs below his knees. He managed
to hobble about slowly by walking upon his knees,
uppn which be wore something similar to shoes.
He is from Chicago, and says he is going to New
Fork for medicai treatment.
His dogs, of which he has six, large and power
ful animals, are trained to perfection, and under:
stand and obey bis word of command as well as a
human being could. They tow his boat along at
the rate of foiir miles an hour—he from the boat
giving directions. When they meet a boat, they
lay down close and let the low line pass over them,
and thus take the inside. He has a wagon on
board for overland journeys. His boat, an open
one, by a canvass Covering supported on posts, is
converted into a saloon which he and his dogs, to
gether with a tame raccoon, use for parlor, dining
room and bed-room," 11 together on terms of equa-
lity and good will. He carries four loaded pistols
to protect his dogs from attack. After procuring
a stock of provisions for himself and companions,
he anchored his'boat a little way from the shore
and attracted the attention and excited the curio-
sity of passers-by, who crowded around to solve
the mystery. This happy family reminds one for-

on a pleasnat cruise down tee Erie Canal. He

Tbe Paris Moniteur de la Flotte announces that
the British East India Company have taken posses-
sion of the Island of Perim, in the straits of Babel-
mande!, and completely commanding the entrance
to the Red Sea. The British flag was hoisted there
on the 14th February .by the company's troops,
and tbe occupation is definite. The ostensible
cause is that two years since, an English ship,
which was wrecked on the coast of Berbera, was
pillage by the natives. The East India Company
summoned the chiefs of the Saumatis to Aden to
make reparation, and a treaty was concluded by
which tbe Company was to occupy the Islaud. An
artillery garrison from ludia is already placed on
the Island.
Ths Nicaragua Tbabsit Company.—The Course
of the Administration. We extract the following
interesting intelligence from the Washington cor-
respondence of the Baltimore Sun of the 10th inst.:
The several competitors lor the possession of
the Nicaragua transit are likely all to be. kept in
suspense for some time. Thére is no existing
power which is both willing and c. mpetent to give
to the contractors or undertakers any assurance
or guaranty of security in tbe possession of the
franchise. The United States will not meddle with
the subject. Tbat appears to be very certain.—
This government baa refused to make reclamations
upon .Nicaragua in behalf of Commodore Yauder
bilt, whose rights were transferred by the Rivas
government to Messrs. Morgan & Garrison. They
are not likely to do anything for any other party
who may have claims upon either Costa Rica or
Nicaragua, or other Central American States, grow-
ing out of the late war. Nicaragua io herself <n no
condition to guarantee tbe safety of a lint across
tbe isthmus- Besides, she has an unsettled bound
ary difficulty with Costa Rica, which would expose
the contractors to trouble.
The route ought to* be. opened for tbe conve-
nience of passengers, though it is not likely to be
used for freight. But that can hardly be done un-
til the country itself shall fall into American hands.
Of course Great Britain and the United States
could by a treaty, and with the assent of Costa Rica
and Nicaragua, guarantee tbe pérpetual safety of
tbe transit to any company. But the United States
is not likely to enter into any such entanglement at
present. It is shameful tbat the world should be
deprived of tbe proper means of transit from ocean
to ocean by national jealousies and rivalries at this
late day. . But, as matters stand, tbe Panama com-
pany are likely to keep their monopoly of the in-
te roceanic passage.
