Every week or two, we see ,

Legislature. Of cvaru, aa the IntelUgenoer says,
the oitizena of Anatin are dU in favor of it. Sat,
we imagina, lllHlil Governor, who is a prudent,
. will consider the subject many
giving assent to ao unnecessary and
entertainment; or rather, perhaps we
say more properly, that wedonbt whether he
views the proposition worth a moment's serious con-
sideration. we know of nothing requiring such a
movement, nor anything that would render it ex
ouseabta. There are ways enough of frittering away
the Peopled money, when this body of Notables
meet unavoidably according to the requirement of
the constitution. We think it would be a great
pnbllc blessing if the Constitution oonld be altered
and the lawa be botched and tampered with, only
onoe in Form Yxabb. Within such a apace as that,
new enactments projected oonld «ooeive serious con-
sideration, and maturement. Those which bad
been enacted at a previous legislature, oonld be thor
tested before the work of change could be
to bear upon it. Any extraordinary emer
gency, warranting an expenditure of forty or fifty
thouaand dollars for the indulgence of the poorest
order of stump spouting, could be provided for by
the Governor's power to convene an extraordinary
session. But nothing short of a contingency of se-
rious magnitude should be construed to warrant
such a oall; and we are well satisflsd, that with the
preeent Governor, none other **ili be considered to
warrant such a convocation.
The public money will get out of the Treasury
fast enough, without being depleted by useless meet-
ings of talking legislatures. The day will come, ere
long, when taxation will be felt by people generally.
The leas legislation, the longer it may be deferred.
It will be in one aspect, a good time when all the
surplus money is out of the.Treasury, and the peo-
ple will sensibly feel each useless expenditure by
their pnblio agents, drawing directly upon their
purse strings. When they do, in tight times like
Thm. there will be a beneflcient accountability be-
tween the representative and the represented; and
legislation will be the better therefore. That time

|y Texas has had more step fathers and volun-
teer monitors than any young country that ever set
up for itself. Like most fast young parties, she has
paid but little attention to advice ; but has gotten
along pretty well thus far nevertheless. General
James Watson Webb, of the New York Courier and
Enqnirer and the regular army, under date of Ooto-
ber 25, informs the financial world and the rest of
mankind that this "Stato must soon havo a bank-
ing system, and tho euccess of the Free Banking
system makes it more than probable that it will be
adopted—taking that of Louisiana as the model."
The General puts this down as a matter of neces
Bity ; and does not condescend to argue it. Free
Banks, like free negroes, serve one good purpose,
they show the necessity for masters. The follow
ing States now have Freo Banking Laws : Hasta
chusetts (1 bank), Vermont, Connecticut, New
York,New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisi-
ana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,and Wiscon-
sin. In all the States named, except Louisiana, no
guarantees are tnade for the prompt redemption of
the notos of the banks, and the only protection
which the law professes to offer is to secure bill-
holders only against ultimate loss by deposits of
State stocks with a Bank Department. These stocks
are about as liable to depreciation as the bills of
the banks. Louisiana has some loose provisions
for closing up the banks and pretending to make
the directors responsible in cases of the suspension
of specie payments ; but it is notorious that these
banks did ao suspend last year, without any penal-
ty being enforced, while any one who will read the
published returns oftheir affiaixs will see that some
of them are liable to suspend at any time that a run
may be made upon them. There never was a time
more favorable than tho present for the aonntry to
return to a sound currency. The banks at the North
are groaning beneath their hoards of specie; bnt so
long as people are willing to take rags, instead of
money, they are likely to have the cheaper article.
Total 8,400,000 286,000
Increase of crop over 1857-58 236,000 bales.
The domestic consumption was cut down in 1856
57 by a short crop and high prices. The same cause,
with the war of Russia, also tended largely to. di-
minish exports to all foreign countries.
The panic of 1857 seriously Interfered with the
distribution of the crop of 1857-58; it alao, by stop-
ping American spindles, reduced the domestic con-
sumption to 524,000 balea,against 687,000 bales the
previous year—equal to a reduction of 168,000 bales.
The exports were also diminished to France 29,000,
and to the north of Europe 81,000 bales.
The crop of 1853-59, now coming to market, is
estimated at 8,400,000 bales. The Herald gives to
England the same amount she took last year ; to
France an increase of 65,000 bales ; to the north ol
Europe, which includes Russian ports, 25,000 ; and
to other foreign ports the same as last year; and for
American stock and consumption an increase of
196,000 bales.
From these data it will be seen that, ahonld the
present crop reach the large estimate of 3,400,000
balee, it will be wanted.
This impression is strengthened by the prevalence
of peaoe, the abundance of money and the improv-
ed condition of the people as customers.
Should the crop be limited to 8,800,000 bales it
will scarcely suffice to meet the wants of tho trade.
Houston.—The Telegraph of yesterday contains
the following intelligence:
The late frosts have pretty well eradicated the
yellow fever. Tho trade of the city is growing sen-
sibly livelier, and somewhat larger in the aggregate
The receipts of cotton the past week were 4,244
bales. Reoeipts since 1st September, 82,089 bales.
The Telegraph says that the amount of cotton now
in Heuaton, more than ten thouaand balee, ia larger
than at any time before in the history of the town.

The " Cinoinnati Enquirer " says. " There is no
more certain mode of curing a neighborhood of
abolitionism than by inflloting on them a colony
of free negroes. There are 25,000 of them in Ohio."
This fact shoald not be'forgotten by the slaves

South send them. If the 200,000 free negroes now
in the slave States were oolonixed upon their abo-
lition brethren of the North, the under-ground
railroad would burst up at once.

corporations.
Corporations are the creatares of law. They are
clothed with extraordinary privileges which same
times are monopolies and to that extent Invade the
popular doctrine of equality of franchises among
all classes of poople. Tbe affairs of a corporation
are transacted by its officers, and not by tbe main
body of the corporators, who are generally too
numerous to act in concert. Bad men generally
seek these posts and frequently get them. Extortion
and embezzlement are then the result, and are prac-
ticed both upon the public and the corporators by
these avoricloua and corrupt officials. It was, no
doubt, for this reason that the quaint old lawyer
perpetrated that grim joke when he laid down the
doctrine that " corporations have no souls."
When a corporation is created it affects the con-
dition of three distinct classes of interests. First
tbe main body of the people who are excluded from
the privileges bestowed upon the corporation hav-
ing an interest in the just and prudent adminis-
tration of its affairs. Secondly the corporators
themselves, who aro the proprietors, desire snoh a
management of their property as may make it lu-
crative. Thirdly, the officers of tbe corporation,
who are pecuniarly interested, sometimes in getting
as large salaries as possible, and in otherwise per-
verting tbe ends of tbe corporation to their own
basases. This analysis tben shows that the de-
signs of both tho corporators and officials, while
they conflict with each other, are frequently in-
consistent both with the interests and liberties of
the people. It may often happen that tha affairs
of a corporation are so prudently managed as to
accumulate wealth. Here the official is faithfal t
the employer, who however, unless restrained by
vigilant government is generally disposed to ex-
haust the arts of tíftftion in order to plunder the
public. The gradual accumulation of wealth will
make them stillCmore avaricions and insolent in
their demands. Tbey will besiege legislatures with
bribes and often control every branch of a govern-
ment. It was at just such a crisis that Gen. Jack-
son refused to be bribed by tbe officers of tbe United
States Bank, and it was for such acts that he justly
accomplished its destruction. In such a case the
people need a firm, wise and inoorruptable execu-
tive to resist the encroachments of this outrageous
spirit of monopoly and avarice.
Bnt it often happens that tho officials while they
practice extortion upon the public with one band,
plunder the corporation with the other. High sal-
aries for little work, corrupt collusion between them
and the contractors, and general extravagance are
tbe means by which the corporators themselves
are injured. In that event the efforts of both the
people and the corporators should combine for the
purpose of punishing this vile horde of thieves.—
they should be ejected from the posts which they
disgrace, and the utmost penalties of the criminal
law imposed npou them. We must expect some of
these scenes to be repeated in TexaB. There Is
nothing in the atmosphere of Texas to Bhield the
heart of man from tbe invasion of corrnpt motives.
In the next ten years, perhaps two thousand mileB
of railroad will be constructed in our State by in-
corporated companies involving the expenditure of
sixty million of dollars. We will not Btop to de-
tail the long train of abuses, corruptions, frauds
and extortions following in the wake of this ex-
tensive work. Nor will we attempt to describe the
State groaning under thü —of arrogant, cor-
rupt and we&U y monopolies.
lyp ^oar that we will need an executive who will
ne tbe sense to discern those abuses when they
arise—who will have the nerve to enfoie the law
against them, and whose honest heart will be proof
against the allurements of ambition, the blandish-
ments of flattery, and the corruption of bribery.
It is true that corporations are in some cases ne-
cestary. We are not opposed to the system for
the construction of railroads known as tbe corpor
ate system. We regard the acts of incorporation
as necessary to the construction of those important
avenues of commerce. But we know corporationa
are liable to abuses which not only interfere with
the object of their institution but sometimes entail
incalculable evils upon the people.—Slate Gazette,

Printing.
l'erhape there is no department of enterprise
whose details are less understood by intelligent peo-
ple than the "art preservative"—the achievement
of types.
Every day; their life long, they are accoetomed to
read the newspaper, to find fault with its statements,
its arrangements, its looks ; to plume themselves
upon the discovery of some roguish and acrobatic
type that gets into a frolic and stands upon its head;
or some word with a waste letter or two in it—bnt
of the process by which the newspaper is made, of
the myriads of motions and thousands of pieces
necessary to its composition, they know little and
think lesa.
They imagine they disoourse of a wonder, indeed,
when tboy speak of the fair white carpet woven for
thought to walk on, of the rags that fluttered npon
the backs of tbe beggar yesterday.
But tbero is something more wonderfnl still.—
When we look at the hundred and flfty-two Jlittle
boxes, somehat shaded with the touch of inky fin-
gers, that compose tbe printers'case,—noiseless, ex
cept the clioking of the types, as one by one tbey
take their place in the growing line—we think we
have found the marvel of the art.
We think how many fancies of fragments there
are in the boxes, how many atoms of poetry and
eloquence the printer can make here and there,
if he only has a little chart to work by, bow many
faotB in small bandfnls, how muoh truth and chaoe
Now he picks up the soattered elements until he
holds in his hand a stanze of Gray's Elegy or a mo-
nody upon Grimee "all buttened up before." Now
he "sets" a "puppy missing," and now "Paradise
Lost;" he arrays a bride in "small oafs, and a son-
net in nonpareil;" he announces that the languish-
ing "live," in one sentence—transposes the word
and deplores the days that are few and "evil" in the
next.
A poor jest ticks its way slowly into the printer1
hand like a clock just running down, apd a strain of
eloquence marches into line letter by letter. We
fancy we cannot tell the difference by hearing of the
ear bnt perhaps not.
The types that told a wedding yesterday, an-
nounce a burial to-morrow—perhaps in the self-
same letters.
They are elements to make a world of, those types
are—a world with something in it as beautiful as
spring, as rich as summer, and as grand aa autumn
flowers that frost cannot wilt, fruit that shall ripen
for all time.
The newspaper has become the logbook of the age;
it tells at what rate the world is running; we cannot
find our "reokoning" without it.
True, the green grocer may bnild up a pound ol
candles in our last expressed thoughts, but it is only
coming to base uses, as its letters have done times
innumerable.
We console ourselves by thinking that one can
make of newspaper what be cannot make of living
oaks—a bridge for time—that he can fling it over
the charm of tbe dead years and walk safely back
upon tbe shadowy sea into the far Past. The singer
shall not end his song, nor the true soul be eloquent
any more.
The realm of the Press is enchanted gronnd.—
Sometimes the editor has the happiness of knowing
that he has defended tbe right, exposed the wrong,
protected the weak: that be has given utterance to
a sentiment that Is not lost—a sentiment that has
cheered somebody's solitary hour, made somebody
happier, kindled a smile npon a sad faoe, or hope on
a heavy heart.
He may meet with that sentiment many year af
ter it may have lost all traces of its paternity, but
he feels an affection for it. He welcomes it as a long
absent child. He reads it as for the flrst time, and
wonders If indeed he wrote it, for be has changed
since then. Perhaps he could not give utterance to
the sentiment now—perhaps ho would not if he
could.
It seems like the voice of his former Belt calling
to its parent, and there is something mournful in its
tone. He begins to tbink—to remember wby he
wrote it—where bis readers then, and whether they
had gone—what he was then, and how much he has
changed. So he muses, until he flnds himself won-
dering if that tbonght of his will continue to float
after be íb dead, and whether he is really looking
upon something that will survive him. And then
comes tbe sweet consciousness that there is nothing
in the sentence that he could wish unwritten—that
it is a better part of him—a shred from the garment
of ¡mortality he shall leave behind him when he
joins the "innumerable caravan,"and takes hisplace
in the silent halls of death.
Tsxas Droves Swindled.—The Chicago Herald
says that a man named Bumham made complaint
a few days since that be bad been swindled out of
$8,700 in the following manner: Mr. B. is a drover
from Texas. Some time since he sold five hundred
and twelve head of oattle to two men for (8,700
and was to receive the pay after tbey were slaugh-
tered. Tbe three drove the cattle to Chicago in
company, the other two agreeing to pay bim about
tbe 15th of October. The day came and passed, and
the drover heard nothing from his men or tbe oat-
tle. Upon making inquiries be found that they had
sold the cattle to a paoker and reoeived $1,500 in
cash, and the remainder in notes apd drafts. He
informed City Marshal Behu of the circumstances,
who was successful in arresting the two men. Their
names are John H. Dorland and George Dorland.
A third party, haviDg the money in his possession
is still at large.
Auebioan Policy towabds Mexico.--The ques-
tion, as to what policy the United States shall per-
ene towards Mexico, is daily growing in importance.
Even in Massachusetts the public mind has been
aroused to tbe consideration of the subject. Gen
Caleb Cushing is among the prominent men recent-
ly elected to the Legislature of that State.
In bis address at the Richmond Fair, Gen Cushing
took occasion to deliver bis views on tbe annexation
of Mexico. He*assumes, or as he ssys, "religiously
believes," that Mexico stands in our path of pre-
destined expansion to the WestandSouth. Thetime
must, therefore, come when, out of self-defense, we
must intervene to stop the destructive tnrmoils of
Mexico, and assnme virtually the^government of the
country. This, Mr. Cushing maintains, "is not a
question of hostilities, bnt of commercial nnion and
proteotive alliance." Whatever íb to be accomplish
ed towards that end, is not to be meddled with by
invading foroeia ; bnt is to be the work of " the de-
liberate, effioacious and offioial action of the Gov-
ernment of the United States."

what I may state about the Coolie trade, viz., that it
ia becoming mare and more assimilated to slavery-
The natives are not only decoyed away under false
pretences, bnt are even kidnapped and sold, as on the
coast of Africa. A man was put todeathafew weeks
wans, both from the magistrates and frum the people,
~ ■ rewards for the apprehension of all who are
engaged in asimilar way. It is melancholy to see ljn—
gliah vessels engaged in such a traffic. The Scotia
screw steamer is here for Coolies now—for, although
vessels carrying the British flag are obliged to piu into
Hong Kong, and be examined in regard to the willing ■
ness to go of those on board, there is reason to believe
that when the unwilling are dismissed by the English
antborities, they are often, if not always, held fast by
the native brokers and embarked in vessels carrying
a different flag, and subject to no snch inspection.
Here, at Double Island, the case is undoubtedly so ;
for, when the captains of ships decline taking persons
who show evident signs of being on board against ther
will, the native Coolie agents take them on shore r~
hold them as prisoners. Many are also afraid,
asked, to say that they are unwilling to go, Í
themselves in tbe power of their countrymen r who can
add cruelty to imprisonment, and that without the pos-
sibility ol an appeal to any other party. It is high
time the attention of the British Government were
drawn to this traffic, and that measures for controll-
ing it were devised, which should extend to vessels
carrying other flags than that ol
We regret to see that "advantage is being
taken of the lectures of Mr.' Cordova, to Impose

as well as of Europe. The Boston Journal says—
"It has already bean demonstrated in Texas that
whites can accomplish as much or more work in
the cotton fields than negroee ; and if the working
classes of Europe can be induced to emigrate to Tex-
as and engage in tbe cultivation of cotton, not only
will an increased snpply of that staple be obtained,
bat the spread of slavery over that fair country will
be cheoked. Slave labor is so costly that it cannot
oompete with freee labor. According to Mr. O i in-
stead, the ordinary Texan wages for an able field
hand is $200. Tbe German laborer hires at $150
and clothes himself. The planter for one hand must
have paid $1000, and with this sum'slx laborers may
be hiied.
"It wonld be a noble achievement oertainly, if
that splendid country could be converted into t
béppyand prosperous home for tbe free laborer
Instead of being overrun by the withering curae ol'
slavery. Free labor is driving slavery out of Mis-
souri, and why may it not also secure Texas!"
The first assertion above is not true, nor Is it
made by Mr. Cordova. No suoh demonstration has
been made. White men do not and will not, nor
has it ever been demonstrated that tbey could, if
tbey wonld, do more work in the cotton field than
negroes. Tbe blacks resist the hot sun and the dis-
eases of the rich bottom lands better than white

A correspondent writes te the Boston Herald from
Hakodadi, Japan, under date of August 18, giviDg
interesting notices of the new treaty effected by
Col. Harris with tbe Emperor. By this treaty, be
says:
"The port of Simoda, of no account to us, will be
closed, and the beautiful harbor of Lansgua, only
twelve miles from the city of Jeddo, is to be opened
to us for commerce, &c. After the treaty is ratifi
ed. that port will be tbe residence of Mr. Harris.
It is a beautiful harbor easy of access at all times
of the year, well protected from all Btorme, and is
not like that of Simoda, surrounded at its extremes
by sunken rocks. It is also capable of accomodat-
ing a largo number of ships, while that of Simoda
is not largo enough to allow more than three or
four ships to ride at anchor at the same time. Its
proximity to the Court of Jeddo will also make it
convenient to Col. Harris.
The Japanese Government has decided to send an
Ambassador to Washington, in March next, on the
condition that our Government will oonvey him and
bis suite to Panama in a Government ship en route
for tbe United Statee. I learn that Col. Harris and

There were three deaths from yellow fever in this
city the past week, as will be seen by the report of
interments below. The weather continues quite
oool, and all apprehensions of the fever seem to
have subsided. Nevertheless, parties wishing to
visit the city must be their own judgee of tbe safety
of doing so. Cases will probably yet ocour; but
we may safely say that there is no longer an epi-
demic prevailing bere. The following is a list of
interments for the past week:
Oct. 9—A. E. Hemmelman, 81 y'rs Gr., child bed
10 Negro man of Hushberger, yellow fever.
Jobn Slmpton, 42 y'rs, Eng., dyset .
Emma A berthe 8 do Am. yellow fev'.
Peter Davis, 88 y'rs, Scotland, dysentery.
T. B. Boone, 21 years, Am., yellow fev.
ceptions, who have come to Texas to cultivate the
soil, bave died withi n the first two years. Slave
labor is not so costly that it cannot compete with
free labor in Texas, nor does a German do the same
amount of work for one fourth less money than
a negro, as is asserted by Olmstead. Tbe Temark of
tbe Journal that with the $1,000 necessary to pur
chase a slave, six laborers mey be employed,
about as conclusive as tbe rest of its argument; $1,
000 purohases the slave for life ; but would
hardly pay the wages of six white men for the same
period. If eo, the free laborers of Old and New
England will find not difficulty in getting employ
ment at that rate in Texas. The abolition senti-
ment at tbe cloee of tbe quotation from tbe Jour,
nal is about as rational as its arithmetic. Neither
will be found to work.
KSTWe find the following among the news items
of the New Orleans Delta :
The London Cotton Plant warmly advocates
project for establishing a direct trade with the South,
by means of tbe Galway line of steamers. The
plan, as proposed, contemplates tho establishment
of a daily steam ferry between Galway In Ireland,
and St. John's in New Brunswick, with coasting
steamers continually plying between the Southern
ports and St. John's, to act as feeders to what may
be termed tbe main trunk line.
So this is the "direct trade" betweon the South
and Europe, of which tbe London Cotton Plant is
the advocate. The Plant is patronizing the South
extensively. In fact we think it a little too patro-
nUing, notwithstanding tbe compliment conveyed
towards this section of America in its late remarks,
inltbe artice in favor of throwing the whole of tbe
cotton of the United States into the hands of a joint
stock banking company in Great Britain. Tbe
Plant says " tbe Southern States of America will
prove to tbe country which secures their trade the
richest commercial colonies of tbe world." Several
of the old Southern States had the honor at one
time of forming "colonies" of Great Britain ; bnt
they did not seem to like it, and threw off their
state of vassallage during the last century. Some of
tho remaining Southern States never made tbe ex-
periment ; but tbey are nevertheless exceedingly
sensitive on the subject, and repudiate any ack-
nowledgement of colonial dependence, either to-
wards the Old Thirteen, or H. B. M.

A Hundred Years Ago.
The Pittsburgh Post of the 21st ult., alluding to
the near approach of the one hundredth anniversary
of Old Fort Dnquesne, says :
"One hnndred years ago there was not a single
white man in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois
Territories. Then, what is now the most flourish-
ing part of America, was as little known as tbe
country around the Mountainsof the Moon. It was
not until 1769, that tbe "Hunter of Kentucky," the
gallant and adventurous Boone, left bis home in
North Carolina, to become the first settler of Ken-
tucky. The first pioneer of Ohio did not settle nn-
til twenty years after this time. A hundred years
ago, Canada belonged to France, and the whole
population of the United States did not exceed a
million hnd a half of people. A hundred years ago,
the great Fbedebioe, of Prussia, was performing
those exploits whlob bave made him immortal in
military annals, and with his little monarchy was
sustaining a single handed contest with Russia,
Austria and France—the three great powers of Eu-
rope combined. A 100 years ago, Napoleon was
not borne, and Washington was a young and mo-
dest Virginia colonel, and tbe great event in^the his-
tory of two worlds, in which these great bntdis
similar men took leading parts wererthen scaroely
foreabawdowed. A hundred years ago, the United
States were tbe most loyal part of the Britlsb
Empire, and on tbe political horlxon no speck
Indicated the struggle which, within a score of
years thereafter, established the greatest republic
of the world. A hundred years ago, tbere were
but four newspapers in America—steam engines
had not been imagined, and railroads and tele-
graphs had not entered into the remotest con
ceptions of man. When we come to look back at
it throngb the vista of history, we find that to the
century wbicb has passed has been allotted more
important events in their bearing upon the happi-
ness of the world than almost any other which has
elapsed since the creation."

in a peculiar manner at Baltimore:
The columns of the Clipper, on the morning of the

South Carolina has so long been tho admitted
exponent of Sonthern views that any new enuncia-
from that quarter is always regarded with interest.
Senator Hammond, of Sonth Carolina, partook of a
public dinner at Barnville, in that State, a few
days ago. He made a speech on the occaston,some
points of whioh are thus sketched by tbe Augusta
Constitutionalist : a
He said he regarded the Kansas excitement,
throughout the whole controversy, as the greatest
impostureever practised on intelligent communities;
and he nev¿r for a moment believed that the terri-
tory could, under any possible contingency, become
aBlaveState. He regarded the whole idea as pre-
posterous and delusive in the extreme. The reopen-
ing of the African slave trade, in Mb opinion, oould
never be accompliihed, except by the dissolution of
this Union. The free States were opposed to re-
opening that trade, and their representatives in
Congress would never vote in favor of such a meas
ure. He believed it was the destiny of African
slavery to extend over tbe whole world, wherever
climate and soil would warrant it. The black race
were providentially designed as " hewers of wood
and drawers of water," and there is no mortal pow-
er that could alter the decree established. He did
not think that there was any territory belonging to
our Union, suitable for slavery, unless our Paoific
slopes wonld answer; bnt tbere the mongrel races
of Mexico would amalgamate with the slaves, and
the instltntion would become worthless and inse-
cure.
Senator Hammond insisted on the importance of
a route across the Isthmus to Cali fornla, which the
U. States must take into their own hands, and by
force, if necssary, for we have the right to take it.
We must, he said, fight all our battles for constitu-
tional rights and equality in the Union.' But when-
ever the South declares, that she can no longer
maintain lier position or equality in the Union,
and is prepared for independence ont of it, h¡b hopes,
his fortunes and hie fate wonld be with the people
of the Sonth.
MANUFACTUREOS artificial Teeth—Artificial
teeth were lor a long time made of the tusk of the
hippopotamus, which nearly resembles the human
tooth, and is susceptible of a high polish. They are
now made of a kind of porcelain, of silex and feldspar,
of such hardness as to resist a file; they are ground
with corundum wheels. Different makers use differ-
ent portions of these materials, giving a more or less
natural appearance and color. There is scarcely any
art which has made greater progress witbin the last
few years than tbe uental art, and none in which
American skill and ingenuity stands more pre-emi-
nent. This superiority is silently acknowledged by
the well-knowu fact that the best dentists of the cap-
itals of England and France are Americans; Ameri-
can dentists have operated on the months of half the
crowned heads of Europe. For filling, gold leaf is
chiefly employed, and is the best perhaps, though
costly. Various other substances have been used, as
tin foil,sundry hardening pasts, wax, gutta-percha,
vulcanized rubber, &c-; a good materia], cheap, du-
rable, and easy of introduction, is yet a desideratum
in dental surgery. But it is chiefly in the manufac-
ture and adaptation of artificial teeth, that American
inventive skill has been displayed. The beautiful
imitation of the teeth and gums, and the practical as
well as ornamental purposes to which they are applied
is quite surprising. No loes of teeth, or absorption of
socket and gum, or deficiency of palate even,
too difficult to remedy.
Stabbino—About three o'clock, last Wednesday
evening, John G. Callison and Gray Booker, got
into a difficulty at Sumpter; the Judge, hearing of
it, (District Court being in session) bad the Sheriff
to bring them before him, where he reprimanded
them and sent them down. A while after supper
Callison and a man named Rigsby, were together,
and both drunk, when they got to wrestling, or
try ing to put the other out of the grooery—both fell
in the scuffie—Callison on top ; in falling, Callison
struck his bead against a tobacco box cutting his
forehead just above the right eye. Rigsby being
underneath, told Callison to get off of bim—that he
was hurting him, and in attempting to turn bim
off, reoeived a wound in the left side to the depth
of six or eight inches, from the bends of CalliBon,
with tbe bowie knife that he killed Johnson with
several years sgo. Callison waa endeavoring to es-
cape, when he was arrested by the Sheriff, heavily
Ironed, and put in the county jail, witb a strong
guard around it for his ssfe keeping. Rigsby ia a

Natives of the Gold Coast.—Tbe native of the
Gold Coasts stands In ignominious contrast to tbe
overpowering wealth of the scenes in which be lives
beneath the blaze of tbe fierce tropical sun, and
through forests in which the very trees are gorge-
ously clothed with orchids heaped abont in brilliant
festoons. He bears on his bead an earthen vessel
of palm oil, or carries two or three quills of gold
dust, the result of bis own industry in washing the
sands after tbe rains. His sole article of clothing
is a Manchester remal, or (length of checkered oot
ton, girded ronnd hie loins. But be knows the value
of his own merchandise, and of that for wbicb he
intends to exohange it. He is a bird by no means
to be caught with chaff. He will not exchange bis
palm oil for a buncb of feathers, nor bis gold for
string of beads ; neither does he affect any article
of European clotbicg, nor banker after any produce
of European civilization. He wants rum—tbe strong:
coarse American rum—and he knows to a spoonfu
how much he ougbt to get of it. He wants from
time to time a new remal, also a cloth or or blanket
to throw over bis shoulders on state occasions, and
a musket to make a row with, and fire off when he
keeps custom. But be wants no fodd, because the
maize springs np for him almost without cultiva
tion, and his women pound it between two Btones
and add water to make a paste, which he calls kan
kee, and on this be gorges himself with great relish
Sometimes his soul lusteth for meat, and then tbe
black snails of the forest, as big as a fist, furnish
him with a soup, of which palm oil is also an es-
sential ingredient. The provident housewife threads
these snails on a bit of grass, and dries them in the
snn, thus saving her lord and master from tbe toil
of putting out his hand to take them. The long
black-baired monkey also provides him with
bounteous repast. Pity tbe sorrows of a European
traveling through the bush, and partaking of the
hospitality (he will have to pay handsomely for it)
of a native, when, as a delicacy reserved for him,
there is fished up out of the big pot of soup, a black
bead, with tbe lips drawn back, and tbe white teeth
grinning, and such a painful resemblance of the
faces around him, that for a moment bo wondera
which of the younger members of the family bos
been sacrificed to tbe exigencies of the occasion. But
he is reassured, and discovers that he is not eating
man, but monkey.
Tbe native of tbe Gold Coast has no desire to
buy a house, nor to build a honse nor to live in
house. He does not wish to add field to field, nor
to make a name in the land, His chief and only
desire in life seems to be to eat when be is hungry
to drink whenever he can, and to sleep in tbe inte-
rim. He has no anxiety for himself, and none for
his offspring, who have neither to be eduoated
nor clothed, nor has he any misgivings about their
future prospects. They run about in the bush, if
he lives inland, or he turns them Into tho sea, if he
lives on the coast. You may watch tbem in any
number, and of all ages, from two to twelve, div-
ing and ducking, nnder the waveB, waiting for
big otje: and then, on the crest of it, you see the
little shining black bodies tossed over and over and
ronnd and round, till, screaming with pleasure,
tbey are washed up on the sand, like a tangle of
black sea-weed. Tben Blowly, and with much noise,
they nnravel themselves and crawl back to the
water, and continne this sport tbe whole day long
with tbe exception of tbe time occupied in consura
ing large cakes of kankee, brought to them by the
mothers. The parental domain is, for the most part
a circular but, under the mud-floor of whicb the ah
cestors of the family have been buried for many
generations.
TheBlack Tongue.—We hear that this disease

abstaining from slaughtering beef for the present, _
they are liable to kill cattle affected with the disease
even although it has-not become fully developed in
them, and there is great danger in eating this sick
beef. We have beard of an instance already in this

persons against eating beef while this disease prevails.
We hear by a correspondent at Hempstead that it has
become quite prevalent in Austin and Washington

thunder, lightning and hailstones of unusual size,
some of which were four inches in circumference,

unlike the natural darkness ofbight, but was lurid
and wild, giving objects dimly discerned throngb

" We are told that our remark in Saturday's

Tbe Navy department bas reoeived despatches
from Commander John A. Dablgren, commanding
the United States sloop Plymouth, giving the par-
ticulars of the vlBit of that vessel to Tampico, and
of an interview with President Juarez at Vera Crux
The date of the last letter is at Vera Cruz. Oct. 17
The Plymouth reached Tampico on the 8d of Oc-
tober, and immediately commnnioated with the
American consul, Franklin Chase, Esq. The con
enl then transmitted to Commander Dablgren copies
of affidavits by Victor Baatien and Christian Her-
man Shnltz, citizens of tbe United States. Bastien
declares that "on tbe first day of October he was
arrested by an officer of the constitutional army
who conduoted him to the commissariat, where s
peremptory demand was made upon him for the
mmediate payment of $2000 as a forced loan ; that
he refused to pay it, and that tbe offioer then escort-
ed him by force to the military barracks, where be
was ipcarcerated and remained until coerced to
Batisfy the said nnjust exaction." Schultx ia a mer-
chant of Tampico, who had imported a quantity of
merchandise, valued at over $12,000, upon whioh
he had paid, or secured to be paid, to the local cus-
tomhouse authorities, belonging to the constitution-
al party, the accruing duties. The merchandise was
destined to San Lnis Potosí and Santa Barbara,
which places are within the possession of the central
government. The merchandise appears to have
>een seized by the authorities of the central govern-
ment, and the demand made npon Schultz for the
payment of duties a second time to that party. This
Schultz protests against as in violation of the exist-
ing treaties between tbe United States and Mexico.
Commander Dablgren had an interview with
Gov. Garza, of Tampico, who assumed the respon-
sibility for the forced loan upon Bastien, and that
he was ready to make indemnity for the injury
done. In Teply to inquiries, Gov. Garza said he had
a great disinclination to practice similar molesta-
tions upon citizens of the United 8tates, but neces-
sity might compel him to resort to like contribu-
tions on all merchants, in whioh those of the United
States would of course be included. Commander
Dablgren remonstrated against the propriety of this
course, and reminded Gov. Garza that the United
States government had fully approved of the course
of Mr. Forsyth In resisting similar exactions npon
American residents at the city of Mexico ; and that
a continuance of snob a course would endanger the
friendly relations between the two countries. Gov.
Garza wonld bind himself to nothing, but promis .
ed to write to his government, that of Juarez, for
more particular instructions.
Tbe case of Mr. Schultz was then discussed. Gov.
Garza observed that the matter was under judicial
investigation, and that he was not disposed to in-
terfere. To that it was replied that the merchant
could not investigate the political rights of the local
authorities, and that the United States oould not
hold tbe judge responsible, but must look to the
Government of Mexico for the reparation of any
go to show tha in-
con fnaioo which clings to
affairs. A baatile fleet is reported to have

letter from Vera Crux to tbe New Orleans Pioay-
une says that, in that oity,tbe Liberal party arc

reoeived confirming tbe taking of Guadalajara by
Degollado, of the Liberal party ; rumor says that
Jalapa bas been taken by foroes of tbe same party.

taken by the Liberaliste, and will soon be in port.
El Progrtsso says that on the 28th ult., Guadal-
ajara was attacked and captured by tbe oombieed
forcee of Degallado & Coronado (Constitutionalists)
It appears that the aity was rendered without any
defense being mads. Btanearte, who eommanded
tbe garrison, retired to the Convent of Bao Fran-
cisco, and finally surrendered himself, stipulating
that his life should be spared, and promlaiog not
to take arms against the Constitution of 18Í7.—
After tbe city was taken, tbe populaos wreaked
their vengeance upon tbe soldiers of Zaloago, aad
tbe aocount states that many scenes of horror oc-
curred. Piélago, the person who some time ago
assassinated Go ventor Herrera Cairo at bis hacien-

There is alao a report of the arrival upon tbe
ooaBt of several Spanish war vessels, three of
which were signalled off Vara Crux, on the 81st
ult., but were driven to sea by a heavy norther and
bave not yet returned. A formidable Spanish steam
war vessel came into port on the 7th instant, and
Is now at anchor at Saorificioe.
Rumor says that soon several French and Eng-
lish vessels of war will make their appearance at
this port, for the purpose of demanding the pay-
ment of the installments due to bondholders.
In a proclamation President Juarez tays it has
come to his knowledge that asrious preparations for
war, to be declared against Mexico, were being
made in Spain.
Three Spanish vessels of war, he continues, with
troops for disembarkation, left Havana, October

appears, he says, that for doing so, it is alleged as

Two Spanieh war steamers are stationed in tbe
river off Tampico, for the protection of its consulate
and merchants. An English force waS also expect-
ed, as an English merchant bad been forced to pay
$7000, his honse taken by soldiers, and himself put
in prison Commander Dahlgren makea the follow-
ing general remarks upon the condition of Mexico :
"I can hardly oonvey to the Department an ac-
curate idea of the wretched Btate to which affairs,
public and private, here [Tampico] and Vera Cruz
have been brought by tbe conduct of tbe parties
tbat now diBtract the country with civil war. Na-
tnre has lavished her every gift of soil and position
tbat can be desired to Tender the people happy and
Sowerfnl; yet agricnlture, commerce, and all in-
nstrlal pursuits bave been reduced to the lowest
ebb by the feuds of the military banditti who wran-
gle for the last miserable vestlgeafcf private and
publlo resources. There seems to be neither patriot-
ism nor a sense of comman deoency left in these self
constituted rulers that spring into power, plunder
as far as their ability extends, and then make way
for a new horde of adventurers. Liberty, there is
none ; it is the worst form of military license that
now stalks ruthlessly and without shame over the
land. The time seems to be at hand when tbe
United States will be bonnd by every consideration
of bnmanity and policy to interfere and abate an
evil which must threaten the peace of this hemis-
phere. The military leaders of Mexioo are altogether
reckless of any consequences that may ensue from
tbe pursuit of plunder, and the citizens of other
countries are made to suffer as well as those of tae
United States."
Under date of tbe 7th Oot., at Vera Cruz, Com
m ander Dablgren giveB thtf particulars of an inter-
view with President Juarez, relative to the com-
plaints of Bastien and Schultz, at Tampico. After
detailing tbe case of the first, President Juarez de-
clared "tbat tbe practice of levying forced loans
was improper, and should not be continued, and
that he would so instruct Governor Garza by the
next Britlsb packet." OF tbe cose of Schultz be had
no information. President Juarez exhibited every
disposition to prevent our citizens from being sub-
jected to improper annoyances, and repeated bis
desire to sustain tbe best understanding witb tbe
United StateB. In reply to a note from Commander
Dablgren, Mr. Ocampo, the Minister of Foreign
Affairs of Jnarez, addressed to him the following
official note:
Veba. Cbuz, Oct. 16, 1858.
By special order of the President, I reply to the
confidential note wbicb you addressed to him under
date of the 13th inst., and wbicb was received here
yesterday, being yonr immediate understanding of
the result of the audience gr&nted to you by the
President. Tbe note refers to the verbal represen-
tations which yon made respecting complaints pre-
ferred to you in Tampico by two American citizens
in relation to matters of a pecuniary nature, and to
redress whicb, as well as to prevent any snch in fu-
ture, the President stated to yon that he would re-
quire a report from Mr. Garza, the Governor ol
Ta maulipas, who, in respect to^foreign affairs, is,
in fact, under the jurisdiction of the President, and
that be wonld then adopt euch measures as appeared
to him just and proper to preserve tbe good under-
standing which His Excellency desired should be
maintained between Mexico and tbe United States.
On the evening of the day of the audience—tbat is
on the 14th inst.—communications were received
at the department nnder my charge, brought by the
"Pepito," which anchored tbat day in this port,
and which related to the same matters as those in
which you interposed.
With respect to forced loans exacted from foreign-
ers, tbe President had already, at Guadalajara, in
the month of March last, dictated a general regula-
tion excepting foreigners from such loans, and to-
day, by an express despatched subsequently by Mr.
Garza on other business, be is notified not to make
snch levies, in fntnre, and to return at once the
rams exacted, and make due indemnity.
Witb respect to the case of Mr. Schultz, the gen-
eral order which wss deemed jnst hss already been
dictated, directing tbat tbe cargo detained at Tau-
toyuquita, in a part of which Mr. Schultz is Interest-
ed, be released without any other charge than that
of a light fine, aa a penalty for the Infractions which
the owners committed of our customhouse ordinan
ces, and of tbe express order of this government,
issued at Guanajuato in February. The order for
issuing this order was, mainly, that tbe aotual Bit-
nation of tbs republic rendered it Impossible for the
judges, who had oognizance of the case of appeal to
deoide promptly.
By this mesne tbe delays which would have work-
ed injury to thoee intereeted in tbe said cargo, were
prevented.
As tbe President finds no error in your statement
and understanding of what passed at the audience,
be deems It unnecessary to make any correction of
yonr note.
I have tbe honor to be yonr obd't serv't,
M. Ocampo.

ple of thecountry being disunited and engaged in
a fratricidal struggle.
He calls apon the people of the country to take
up arms torepel tbe intruders, and ends witb tbe
following ajpeal :
" To arma tben, Mexicans I We are believed to
be degenerate and unworthy to form a nation. Biee
and belle the humiliating aspersion, and let ub show
the world thit, notwithstanding our errors and fol-
lies, the ancimt chain that bound us to tbe oonntry
