dear trees as they received the first care of our

days of boyhood, ever awaken a pleasant retro-

pretended that Texas did) requiring the Gov-
ernor to convene the Legislature in case that
Kansas was not admitted into tbe Union under
the Lecompton constitution. Tbe Governor was
unable to see any necessity for such an extra
session, and prudently refused to call it; but he
unmercifully abused by the Fire-eaters for
the neglect. The Dallas Gazette, however,
say*
If Gov. Moore bad called the Convention, and
put the State to the expense of holding it, he
would not have been a candidate for re-election,
so great would have been the storm against bim.
that so far from ruuning, we believe that be
would have been compelled to resign his office
long before this.
Gov. Moore now stands as tbe regular Demo-
cratic candidate for re-election. He is conserv-
ative in his views, and opposes new and dan-
gerous measures, either intended or calculated
to destroy the Union.
His opponent is Col. Sauiford, an ad tócate
for .re-opening the African Stare trade, acd
kindred measures. The following extract from
the Mobile Mercury will show tbe aim of those
who concocted tbe Kansas resolutions, ia Ala-
bama, al least, if not ia Texas, but we consider
that tbe measure had tbe same object iu With.
Tbe Legislature of Alabama gave bim the o
portunity of taking a proud position before £
people of the whole. South. The Bubicon of
resistance was before him. He (Gov. Jloore)
had bat to pass over and raise the standard of
Southern Bights, and call to the States to fol-
low, to bavebeun tbe great pan and I eater of
bis day. He quailodaipon tbe brink, and siirank
back dismayed at the magnitude of the fon se-
quences of the step be should have taken; and
sought to cover up bis weakness undtr the
' ttnails of tbe weak and time-serving. Agreat
-.•■i brave man would boldly have taken upon
hia ^H'ulders the full measure of ail the respon-
sibility of discharging his duty. He would not
have been seen rdnning hither'and thither, seek-
ing among partisans the advice suited ;v hit
fears. Gov. Moore is, doubtless, a very iooest
clever man, and, in ordinary times of peaee and
quiet, could float along upon tbe current pf ad-
ministrative duties very smoothly; but he is
evidently no man to direct the ship of State
when tbe storm and tempest sweeps ov«t tbe
surging, boiling seas. His weakness ami fears
have already brought the «tete into rMcule.
Alabama stands in the light of eating hei own
high sounding words. Her Legislature passed
flaming resolutions to call a convention uaou a
certain contingency which did happen, aifl en-
trusted it to her Governor to proclaim it, ki or-
der that tbe people of tbe State might tete ac-
tion in their original capacity. Governor Moore
lacked the nerve, and though we are told le had
written out hi proclamation, delayed it to see
if something would torn up. Somethite did
torn up, aad his proclamation is only a fi ma-
terial for construction of certain pavement
made of goods intentions.' ^ f
Such, we feel %ally certain, were alfo the
onsets of toe movers on this salject the
Legtetetare of Texas.
The News revives the ridicaloas old^tory
tost Gen. Houston once " gave an order t* toe
Tasas Censal, in New Orleans, to said lim a
fine carriage and various articles of household
furniture, and to have the same charged % toe
account of toe Bepublic asa" Stationery Mil,"
an arrangement by which the News iatittetes
that " carriages, furniture* caMco, Ac., can pro-
perly on aider the bead of stationery" and
were charged to the Government of Texas. The
whole charge!^ an absurd fabrication, foitaded
•n a playful expression in a tetter from Uen.
Houston to Wm. Bryan, foitoaiy Texan Consul
at New Orleans. Tbe articles referred to %re
purchased on Gen. Houston's pirate acccant,
aad paid for id toe tone by Gail Bottom J bis
agent at Galveston, as he paKicly stated althe
time this groundless charge was first made, al-
though be was not thenoa speaking fcwaa vito
Gen. Hoaston. The News daites to saddle toe
revival of thw charge upon that convenient par-
sonage "a correspondent te thsialerior.'
Still it is contended that Mr. Runnels is apon
tbe Xatewl Democratic Platform, and that the
principles therein contained aad toe policy
thereto enunciated constitute tbe t/ut entenüAe
of bis politics, and that no issue outside of tbe-n
can or shall be made. .Such ia likely to be the
case, for it really appear* as though the two
great heads of these parties are to ran more
upon there personal and individual merits than
upon any issue that can be raised. Such we
judge is the case from tbe Utter, spiteful, per
secutive assaults upon them by tbe organs of
the opposition parties.
Epithets roa Politicians.—As some of our
contemporaries teem to be .vieing with each
other in hard names, for their opponents, in tor
present election, we may serve them by reprint-
ing some choice expressions in use among our
editorial fore-fathers fifty years ago, and pres-
erved in " Salmagundi.'' as will appear from
the following extract:
" Every day have these slangwhangers made
attacks upon each other and upon their respect-
ive adherents, discharging their heavy artillery,
consisting of large slicets loaded with scoundrel,
villain, liar, rascal, numskull, nincompoop,
dunderhead, wiseacre, blockhead,jackass." As
single words were not always explosive enough
to make a report equal to their feelings, tbey
had recourse to compounds;—" pert ami prating
popinjay," " maggot of corruption, " toad on a
dnng heap," " snivelling sophisticated hound,"
are a few of the cbain-shot which strike our
eyes in turning over the yellow faded files.
As the Atlantic Monthly remarks—
They are all quiet now, those eager, snarling
editors of fifty years since, and mostly forgotten.
Even the ink which records their spiteful abuse
is fading away.
Feverish paragraphs, which once excited tbe
enthusiasm of one party and the fiercest opposi-
tion of the other, lie before us as dead and as
unmeaning as an Egyptian mummy. The pas-
sion which once gave them life is gone. The
objects which the writers considered all-im-
portant we perceive to have been of no real sig-
nificance even in their day. We read on with a
good natured pity, akin to the feeling which the
gods of Epicurus might be supposed to exper-
ience when tbey looked down upon foolish mor-
tals,—and when we she* the book, go out into
our own world to fret, fume and wrangle over
things equally transitory and frivolous.
fcgr We hare already mentioned the corres-
pondence between the Hon. Wm. L. Yancey and
Mr. J. D. B. DeBow, President of the African
Labor Supply Association, organized at Vicks-
burg immediately after tbe adjourameat of tbe
late Southern Convention at that place. Both
gentlemen openly advocate the re-opening of the
African Slave Trade. The Marion Common-
wealth says:
"It is bat another striking evidence of Mr.
Yancey's profound statesmanship that he boldly
and patriotically proclaimed tbe true doctrine
on the "question of tbe Slave Trade in advance
of tbe time-serving place-hanters of tke South.'

The Toktcgak Fostificatio.n:. —The Key
of tbe Gulf furnishes the following interesting
description of the Tortugas aad their fortifica-
tions :
Key West and Tortugas are situated on the
Florida reef about eightv miles from the coast
of Cuba and about sixty-five miles apart. They
form our only harbors south of Georgia able to
admit a ship of the line—Pensacola trill admit
frigates but not ships of tbe line.
The Tortugas group is tbe most western of
all the Florida Keys—about one hundred miles
from the tnaia land—and about forty mile* from
tbe nearest Keys, it consists of nine small is-
lands or keys connected by nearly continuous
reefs—forming a harbor about seven miles kng
and three miles wide, with three inlets each
nearly one half mile wide, and forty feet deep,
and several narrow entrances. The general di-
rqptkm of tbe harbor is north-east and south-
west. Tbe principle inlets are well situated—
one from the south-east, one from the south-
west, and one from the north. Loggeihead is
the most western of all tbe keys, ana toe larg-
est, being about four-thousand feet long, and
seven-hundred feet wide.
_ Fort Jefler on covers Garden Key. It con-
sists of six fronts and as many small bastions,
or rather towers ; and is 6urround<<d by a low
sea wall, which secures the great advantages of
a wet ditch, and affords protection from the sea
in storms. There will be two tiers of guns in
casemates, and one on top, in open batteries.
The whole number of guns of various calibres
will be about 450. The outline.of the scarp is
about one-half mile—that of the sea wall about
3100 feet.
The necessary arrangements for mounting the
lower tier are now essentially completed. About
one-half the arches which are to cover the sec-
ond tier will be formed under existing appro-
priations. * "
CArsum.-On Tuesday morning, 28th ult.,

There were three passengers on board at tbe
time of the accident-Mr. S. Oscar Briggs, of
Galveston, Mr. Cassidv, of New Orleans, and
Capt Dan. Shea, of this place. They were in
the cabin when the boat went over, but lost no
time ia scrambling oat; they drifted about three
hours before assistance reached them, suffering
intensely from the cold wind aad rain. Tbe
accident was observed by Mrs. Thurmond, from
ber residence at Shell Bank. As aoon as she
informed toon, Capt. Alf. Thurmonn and others
started to the rescue in toe sloop Julia, but the
wind being eontrara their progrese was stow.—
When they reached her, the Belle Port was soon
righted, towed ashore, and bailed out, while tbe
sufferers were made comfortable.

P03TA0E Stamps.—Tbe Washington Consti-
tution again refers, and more at length, under
the bead of " Department News," to the aUnrd
stay of the forgery of postage stamps. In the
course of ite argument, showing the improba-
bility of such a thing being carried on to anv
gn«t extent, it furnishes tbe following facts '
The stamp combines the most perfect protec-
tees known to modern art, and is ¡rabbeted
during its manufacture, to manv diflerem pro-
cesses which require thr best artistic skill and
medamcal ingenuity. The first artists in the
country are employed to prepare tbe original
dies ; and there are several distinct branches of
tbe engraving art exercised on every separate
stamp. Tbe paper whereon it is printed re-
tptees a nice adjustment of weight, densitv
qualities, te
order that the various operations which it un-
dergoes may artwork taharmoniouslr to the
disadvantage of tbe stamp. The simple item of
gum alon.- has caused much earnest inouirv
and repeated experimento, that a «nit.K^ arl¡.
ele might be ¡.rocured^ and tbe printing is done
- n of ;ned exprnenoe te r>el ¡uí eopper-
pnutuig. Ibe durable ar.d a*ain tbe
% natures of the inks have .acfa ¿Special
object, while the perforation te

protection. The aaeátnes nseu for tote

delicate in their adjustments, punches, Ac., as
to require continual supervision and outlay- of
money, while a special machinist superintends
their operation and keeps tbem te repair. In
abort, all the obstacles to the (successful coun-
terfeit of a bank note are to be found in toe
stamp, and ia connection with others of equal
and novel importance.
