In the U.S. Court, at New Orleans, last week,
United States Attorney F. H. Clack stated that he
had learned that his successor had been appointed
by President Buchanan. He would, therefore ask
for the indefinite continuance of all government
oases, and suoh others as did not come immediate-
ly within the requirments of bis oath of office, un-
til suoh successor made bis appearance.
Judge McCaleb observed that he would take oo-
casion to atate publicly from the bedch that there
had been nothing in the official conduot of the At-
torney to justify suoh a proceeding on the part of
the United States government, and he would further
atate, in reference to the particular dase which had
been supposed to give rise to snchactiou, that he
fayto the United Stated Attorney, no leu than the
Court, bad performed the whole doty possible un-
der the cireumstances. The government should
know that Courts and officers oannet perform im
possibilities: * ...
It will be recolleoted that the alleged fault of Mr.

Nobtbxbk Mexico.—The Brownsville Flag says :
El Restaurador gives dreadful asoounts of tbo de
predations committed by the Indians in Nuevo Leon
and Coahuila. Several families on the northern
borders of those states have been murdered and a
great number of ranches has been thoroughly strip-
ped of every thing in the way of Btock and prodnee.
Five men and three women were going from San
Nicolas to Parras with horses and oattle, who were
attacked and murdered. Another party with carts
going to MapiAii met the same fate wbilf crossing
the Naxas river. A regiment under command of
D. Manuel Mendez, is in pursuit of this gang of sa
vages.
All the papers of Zacateoas, Chihuahua and Dnr-
ango contain appalling accounts of the destruction
Df property and lives by the Indians in those States.
-4. force of over one thousand horse riflemen have
wen organized and it is thought the savages will be
melled. The Legislature of Zacatecas has approp-
iated $100,000 for the purpose of aiding in raising
roo pa and paying the expenses of a oampaign go-
ig through the frontier portions of the State.
Bicbiatioh.—To work best, man must play a
oe proportion of the time; to bear the heaviest
krdens, he must have his heart lightened now and,
ten; to th!nk so profoundly, he must not think so
ttadily. When tbe world, on any plea ol prudence,
owiadom, or conscience, has overlooked these
pcnciples, religion and morality have suffered. In
\ timer times, monasteries and nunneries, caves and
iplars, held tbe pure fanatics and ultraists, the
icbts and hypocrites, whom violated nature sent
ire. Now insane aslyurns and hospitals shelter
J victims furnished for their cells by the headlong
nriety and mad earnestness of'business which
ktws no pleasure, or of study which aljows no
elation, or conscience and piety, which frowns
amusement: while the morbid morality, the
(wisdom, the jaundiced affections the wretched
ipsia, the wreck and defeatjof body and soul,

I society, or legitimate gayety, exhibits to the
ohtful eye, are hardly less saddening than the
hotftalor mad-bouse.

it should be purely the
"work of the people, and originate only with them.
"Tbey have sbown no daaire for the assembly ol
"such a body, or the abrogation of the existing con-
stitution. On the contrary they have clearly
"abowa that tbey prefer to submit to the defects
"of tbe present organlo law, rather than take the
"chancea of amending it even in the manner pro-
vided by its founders."
The Intelligencer says "Such a mode of argument
is unfair; that all "constitutional amendments are
pro tanto, civil revolutions; although not necessarily
subversive of existing institutions;" and "supposes"
that the Civilian meana to argue, because the con-
stitution provides for one mode of amendment, al-
though no mode of providing, or substituting a new
one, that this mode of amendment exeludea all
others; and that were no suoh mode provided none
could bé adopted.
This i* a purely suppositious view of the ease.—
The Civilian regards as the law paramount the prin-
cipie avowed in the declaration of Independence,
that Governments derive their just powers from
the consent of tbe governed; and that "it is the
right of the peoplé to alter or abolish" their form
of government whenever in their deliberate judge-
ment tbey think proper to do so ; though, as that
sacred instrument declares, prudence would dictate
that these changea should not be made for light and
transient oauses. Our position is simply this; that
there is no adequate reason for a convention, to
ohange the constitution; and that the people do not
desire such a body. ~
The Intelligencer evidently regards, as a smart
hit, the reference to the course of the Senior editor
of the Civilian on the question of annexation. It
will perhaps gratifiy that paper to learn that every
opinion we then expressed we still retain ; as also
that we are not yet reconciled to a diviaion of the
state ; though we can scarcely see the bearing of
these matters upon the present question.
The following appears to be the substance of the
Intelligeneer's real argument:
''To^T""5T?hiirihfc t0 be feared agitation, [?]
"tie woulaiwhile yet tmay. call a convention and
settle the element of rathdlacord. that of appor-
tionment." —.
Tbe present constitution provides
tature shall provide, at stated periods, an en
umeration of the population of tbe state and the
apportionment of Bepresentatives and Senators
among the Beveral counties, cities or towns, "accord-
ing to the number of free population in each." This
word "free" is the only objection we have ever
made to this portion of the present constitution.—
Tbe constitution of the United States Recognizes the
right to representation for slave property, and we
always claimed that the state should do the same.
If the Intelligencer can give any assurance that a
new convention would do any better than the old
one in this respect or in the apportionment of mem-
bers of tbe Legislature, we might favor the calling
of such a body. The apportionment made by the
convention which formed our present constitution
gave rise to more trouble than any Texas ever had.
Tbe next censps, under- the present constitution
takes place in 1858, and the apportionment is re-
quired to bo made by the next Legislature. If the
Intelligencer will show us how that task can be any
more easily or satisfactorily accomplished by a con-
vention than the Legislature, we Mall confess our-
selves instructed in a matter which.we do not now
comprehend.

Results of tiie Experiments,
The Amerioan Agriculturalist sums up the facts
deducted from the experiments in this country, in
the cn'tivation of tne Chinese Sugar" Cane. Tbe
following are the mOBt important conclusions:
The Chinese Sugar Cane will flourish well wher
ever Indian corn will grow; it endures cold bette
than corn, bnt will naCripen its seed in s seasoi
like the past, further north than about the* latitud*
of 40 deg. to 41 deg.
Under favorable oiroumstances, and in good sea-
sons, it may ripen its seed as far north as 48° to
44°'.
''It promises to be superior to Indian oorn for soil-
ing (feeding green) in any locality where corn is
now cultivated, and entirely aside from its value as
a saccharine plant'^it will be an acquisition to our
forage crops.
It will produce good syrup from the immature
canes.
The best syrnp is made from the ripe or nearly
ripened canes.
Unlike the Southern sugar cane, its sacoharine
properties are not materially injured at once by a
moderate frost.
The trials so far, do not show that sugar osn be
readily made, bnt limited experiments seem to indi-
cate that, this will yet be the case.
I/it should finally be round impossible to m&Ke
crystallized sugar, still at^ excellent syrup can be
profitably extracted from its juices.
The most profitable results will be obtained where
the culture and manufacture is carried on upon an
extensive soale.
The manufacture of syrup is as easy and simple
as ordinary maple sugar making.
In all localities remote from easy access to mar-
ket, the Chinese sugar oane will furnish sweetening
for ordinary purposes, cheaper than it can be ob-
tained from abroad. This is perhaps the most im-
portant feature connected with this plant. There
are thonsands of Inland towns, especially at the
West, and on the Pacific coast, where, owing to ex-
pensive wagon transportation, sugar and molasses
must donble or treble tbe sea-board prices. At all
those points, the inhabitants can grow their sugar
cane and make their own syrup, cheaper than they
can Import it from abroad.
The cultivation both for feed and for syrup mak-
ing,may be entirely similar to that oflndian corn,
though at the North earlier planting is desirable,
where oanes are desired for syrup making. It will
however, often produce a fair crop on'soil too sandy
and to.- poor to give a paying crop of Indian corn.

country of the Hindus, Affghaui-stan, Belooches-
tan. Rajas tan.)
In these words the accent is always on the last
syllable, «fan, which is pronounced broad. The
common pionounciation here of the 6tst named
country, is as if written Hindostán, the accent on
the second syllable instead*of the last. It should
be pronounced as if written Hin-dio stawn. Hin-
dostán is from the Persian Hindu, signif ying black,
or dark, the pure Persians being fair I'rke the Eu
ropeans. It has also been derived from the river
Indus/and from Ind, a name of great antiquity,
applied to Hindustan, and from which comes our
India.
Soubadar, a native offioers whose rank cerres
ponds with that of a captain; also tbe viueroy of a
province.
Tope, a grove, a dumb ot trees.
Zemindar, a landholder.
Shipments to Bbbxbx.—It appears that the port
of entry for Bremen is at Bremerhaven, near the
mouth of the Biver Weser, about fifty milas below
the City. Veesels drawing over seven feet of water
cannot go up to tha City, aud the transportation of
cargoes destined for Bremen is effected between tbe
port of entry and tbe City by means of small light-
ers, which are not considered as common carriers
by the local law, and tbe parties at Bremen to whom
the cargo is destined or consigned, will not receipts
for the same on Its delivery to the lighter, but only
when delivered to them at Bremen, thus subjecting
the vessel to delay until this transportation is com
pleted.
It is suggested that the delays in the unlading of
cargoes, so often complained of by masters of ves
seis, from tbe United Sutes, might be obviated, if
the «Uppers to that port would insert in their bills
of lading to "Bremerhaven," instead of "Bremen,"
to be discharged within five days after entering the
harbor."

Thk Cholera in Eorope.—Our advices by the
Arabia show that this fatal disease is still prevail
ing to a great extent in the North of Europe. In
Stockholm, and other cities of Sweden, tbe deaths
thus far, were computed as high as five thousand ;
but the latest accouuts show a progressive decline
At Hamburg, it is likewise on the decrease. No
cases are reported in England, but the various san-
itary Committees and boards of health, in the ci-
ties and large towns, are going to work as il its ad-
vent next spring was a dead certainty. They do
not propose to revive quarantine, or to impose
any restrictions of that kind upon vessels coming
from infected ports—taking for granted that chol-
era is not a disease that can be^stoped by quaran-
tina. But, they are ¿tiring up the inhabitants to.
increased cleanliness'attention to diet, clothing,
etc. This is good policy—and we are riot sure
that it might not be imitated to present and pros-
pective advantage here. On Thursday, the arrival
of a ship from Hamburg was announced at quaran-
tin—having had thirty-one deaths on board during
the voyage—and within twenty four hours after-
wards, another from the same port, was reported
with twenty-eight. The ship surgeons do not say
it is asiatic cholera—but seeing that said ships
have come in a direct line from a cholera port, the
public cannot be blamed for drawing their own
inferences.—Neto York Express.—
A Duel.—What-is a duel? It is two'men trying
to shoot each other accorking to a plan fixed upon
beforehand, in order to settle a quarrel. One is of-
ten killed;sometimes both; sometimes they barely
escape death, with severe wounds; sometimes, be-
ing poor marksmen, ot cOnc-ience-strnck at the áw-
fnl business in which they are engaged, they miss
aim, and neither falls.
There are some who call duelling an honorable
way of settling a quarrel. Aud men are afraid of
belpg called cowardly, if they refuse tQ fight. Be-
fusing to fight under such circumstanoes cowardly!
No; there is no cowardice in it. A man ought to be
afraid to kill his fellow man.
A distinguished gentleman received a challenge
to fight a duel a few months ago. Did he fight? No.
"Your life,", he said to the man who sent it, "could
not be the value of a pin's point to me, and I am
sure I should derive no comfort from making your
wife a widow, or your children fatherless; therefore
I have no desire to take it; while my own life is not
only of value to me, bu.t indispensable to the sup-
port and happiness Of my family , and I hope to
make it useful to my country: therefore I am not
disposed to place it at your disposal."
A capital, common sense answer. But there is a
more serious light in which duelling should be
viewed. Duelling hot only breaks the laws of rea
son, and the laws of the land, biit the law of God,
"Thou shalt not kill." Duelling is planning to kill
—deliberately killing. The duellist is a murderer.
He has a thirst for blood. For a small injury, for
a supposed slight, for an irritating word, nothing
will satisfy bis angry leelings but killing a man.
and setting himself up as a mark to be killed also
What kind of satisfaction is that? It would be dif-
ficult to tell. If either is successful, one is sent in-
to eternity, and the other left to bear the burden of
the murderer about Until his dying day. Is that
satisfaction ?
