FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1861.
gay* The Telegraph office baa been removed
to tbe spacious new building of Messrs. South
wick & Sons, on tie Strand.
W Mr. F. D. Allen, the bookseller, baa
placed on our table "The Man with Fire Wires,*'
and a lot of note paper and envelopes, tbe lat-
ter bearing as a device the neatly printed flag
of tbe Confederation, in red, white and blue, an
avowal of character. Ordinarily, an editor
only looks at tbe title page of a book, in order
to pronounce the most enlightened and just
criticism on its contents; but Mono. Dumas,
the author of the work before us, belongs to a
school of popula/ authors that we do not read,
And his title pages, like the pagjs who figure
within the lids of his books, are unknown
characters to our eyes. The one before us
however, is ornamented by a wood-cut picture
embracing a man and woman, from which we
infer that bis hero takes his wives, as tbe old
man in tbe fable did bis bundle of sticks, one
at a time, and not as the Latter Day Saints do
theirs, all at once. As there is, just now, a
lull in political excitement, we should be glad
to procure the services of some old politician,
t>r other person whose morals are past injury,
to read and give an opinion, a la Captain Cut-
tle, of the Man with Five Wives. All we can
venture to say of it is, that it is characteristic
of the author, who is the leader of the class
now generally known as French novellists of
the yellow cover school. Tbey do say that
the cuticle of the author partakes of the same
hue.

irif The steamer Neptune, No. 2, Captain
Bl^eman commander, arrived from Houston
thDr morning with 393 bales cotton and the fol-
lowing passengers:
Stanch field, Clark. J Ellsworth, A R Bell, J
W Murphy, J J Baxter, Behring, T II Pointer,
Capt J- W Smith, A Fernandez, Kavanaugh—

W The impression seems to have reached
some of bia friends abroad that Mr. Martin
Karel; who was shot by some rioters* month
ago waa latally wounded, and inquiries are
made as to bis present state. We are happy
to state that he has almost wholly recovered,
and is now able to attend to his ordinary busi-
ness.
tés The following gentlemen are elected
Directors of the Galveston, Houston and Hen-
derson Railroad, for the ensuing year, at the
annual meeting of the stockholders, held on
the 25th March, 1861:
J. M. Brown, R. Mills, £. B. Nichols, J.
rfealy, J. J. Hendley, Joseph Brauns, T. H. Mc-
Mahan, J. L. Briggs, B. F. Terry, of Houston,
W. J. {luteins, of Houston, L. M. Hitchcock.
J. M. Brown was unanimously elected Pres-
ident, J. L. Briggs Vice-President, L. M. Hitch-
cock S^etary, and T. H. McMahan Treasurer.
Prssidxktiil Election in Mexico.—The
Me*icq® Extraordinary, of the 9th, says :
The election returns, now coming in, are
nearly all in favor of Presiednt Juarez, md tbe
probabilities are increasing for his election by
un absolute majority of the votes of tbe people.
He has undoubtedly the vote of Sonora, Ja-
lisco, Colima, Sinaloa, Lower California, and
the northern frontier States.
Tbe reigns since received favor the same
conclusion. In any Ciase, if Juarez has not
been re-elected by the people, he will be by the
Congress.
1ST The convention, we learn, adjourned
l£t Monday night, as was agreed ; but as yet
we are without a full report of its proceedings.
What it did not do, however, is quite as impor-
tant, in some rejects, as what it did ; and we
are glad to learn that it did not pass the ordin-
ance to close the Courts of Texas to all credi-
rfMrs residing out of the State. This measure
was opposed by tbe merchants generally, as
the worst blowQthat could be aimed at their
character and credit; and we trust that the
Legislature will adopt no law to defeat the
views thus pronounced by the Convention,
after patient and full discussion.
© ¡W Geo. Mason, Esq., late U. S. Attorney
for the Eastern District of Texas, has been ap-
pointed Attorney for the Confederacy in this
State, which now forms but a single Judicial
District. The salary is two hundred dollars
per annum, payable quarterly, and ten dollars
per diem, for every day that he is engaged in
attending said court, together with such fees
as| shall hereafter be prescribed by law, and
tniieag9n t the rate of ten cents per mile, for
going to and returning from the court which is
most distant from his place of residence, to be
computed upon the most usual line of travel.

•Mexico.—The Mexican papers are full of ac-
counts of robberies and disorders. The prin-
cipal road to the city of Mexico swarms with
bands ot robbers, and the coach hardly ever
arrives without having been attacked, half a
dozen times. 0
Capt. Aldham, of 11. B. M's. ship Valorous,
who was returning from the city of Mexico,
was attacked in the neighborhood of Orizaba,
and received two severe wounds. He is now-
lying in a cAtical condition at Cordova, the
^ physicians despairing of his life.
It is said that sojge of the former reactionary
'forces now hovering about the neighborhood of
Cordova made the attack on Capt. Aldham by
order from high quarters of the Church or Re-
action party to avenge toe stand taken during
the siege of Vera Cruz in March last, in which
Capt. Aldbaqp had shown himself against Mi
ramon and in favor of the liberal party.
Louisiana Banks.—The following is a copy
of the ordinance, as adopted by the Convention
of Louisiana^in regard to banks:
Corporations withQbanking or discounting
privileges may be either created by special acts
or framed under general laws, but the Legisla-
ture shall in both cases provide that before a
bauk goes into operation, two-thirds of the capi-
tal shall be paid in specie, and the balance witb-
ft one year thereafter: that no bank shall issue
notes exceeding in amtunt, at any one time,
three-fourths of the amount of tbe capital
thereof paid in, or of a less denomination than
ten dollars : that the cash liabilities of each
bank shall always be represented by at least
one-third in specie, and the balance in good pa-
per, payable in full at maturity within ninety
days, and that no bank shall issue from its
counter any other than its°own notes. Pro-
vided further, that the Legislature shall have
*> power to exempt the capital of any bank
from taxation.
Crartt •( the
The act to establish tbe Judicial Coarte oí
the Confedérate States of America embraces
fifty-four (not forty) section !, and is too long
for our columna, or we should be glad to '*7
it before our legal friends at kagtb. We must
content ourselves with noting * few of its fea-
tures ; and hope that it, with all other law* of
the Confederacy, may, if possible, be laid be-
fore the public in such shape that " he that
runs may read and fools need not err therein.
The act provides that the Supreme Court of
tbe Confederate States, shall hold annually, at
the seat of government, one session, commen-
cing the first Monday of January, and continue
until the business of said Court is dispoeed
at.
Each of the Confederate States constitutes one
district, the Court, called a District Court, to
consist of one Judge, who shall reside in the
State for which be is appointed, and receive a
salary equal to that paid loa Judge of the
court of the highest jurisdiction in the State.—
There shall be a marshal and one or more
clerks appointed for each court, a marshal by
tbe President of the Confederate States, shal1
appoint the times and places of holding the
courts in his district—and where, under the
laws of the United States, his State was divid-
ed into two or more districts, he shall annually
hold not less than two terms of his court in
each of those districts as they existed on the
first day of November, 1860.
The District Courts shall have jurisdiction,
concurrent with the courts of tbe several States,
of all civil suits at common law or in equity,
where the matter in dispute, exceeds tbe sum
or value of five thousand dollars.
The laws of the several States, except where
the Constitution, treaties, or statutes of the
Confederate States shall otherwise requre or
provide, shall be regarded as rules of decision
in the courts of the Confederate States, in cases
where they apply. And where tbe decision of
the highest court in a State has become a rule
of property, the same shall be adopted as a
rule in tbe courts of the Confederate States in
cases in which the laws of Bueh State apply.
Costs, fees, and jury pay are the same as in the
State courts, and proceeding are mainly the
same,
Tbe Courts have power to inflict punishment
for contempts of Courts; but such power shall
not extend to any cases except misbehavior in
the presence of the Court, or so near thereto as
to obstruct the administration of justice, the
misbehavior of any of the officers of said Court,
in their official transactions, and the disobedi-
ence, resistance, or obstruction, by any person
whatsoever, of the process of the said Courts,
but such punishment shall not exceed a fine of
one hundred dollars and imprisonment during
the term of the Court.
Should the marshal or clerk fail to pay over
any money which may have come to his hands
by virtue of any order or process of the Court,
such money, with legal interest and ten per
cent, damages, may be recovered from him and
his sureties in bis official bond, upon motion
and three days' notice, in the Court of which
he is marshal or clerk.
It is declared that the laws of the United
States in regard to crimes and offences, and the
mode of procedure, and in all criminal cases,
shall be in force, and form the rule of practice
and decision in the District Courts of the Con-
federate States, and where there is no such law
governing the practice, then the rule and course
shall conform, as nearly as practicable, to the
practice established by law of the State Court
of highest original criminal jurisdiction. And
the laws of tbe United States, and the rules of
Couit in reference to admiralty proceedings, in
force in the Admiralty Courts of the United
States of America on tbe 20th day of Decem-
ber, 1860, as far as the same may be applicable,
are continued in full force and effect in the
Courts of the Confederate States, until altered
or repealed by law.
In case of a final judgment or decree in any
suit, in the highest Court of law or equity of a
State, in which a decision in the suit could be
bad, where is drawn in question the validity of
a treaty, or statute of, or an authority exercised
under the Confederate States: Or where is
drawn in question tbe validity of a statute of,
or an authority exercised under any State, on
the ground of their being repugnant to tbe con-
stitution, treaties or laws of the Confederate
States: Or where is drawn in question the con-
struction of any clause of the constitution, or
of a treaty, or statute, or commission held un-
der the Confederate States : In each of these
cases, the decision may be re-examinjd, and
reversed or affirmed in tbe Supreme Court of
the Confederate States upou a writ of error.
All judgments, orders and decrees, made by
any State Court since tbe date of the secession
of such State, upon any subject or matter which
before such secession was within the jurisdic-
tion of the Courts of the United States, have
the force and effect of judgments, orders and

SATURDAY, MARCH SO, 1861 •
SANTIAGO, T XAS,t
D March 21,1861. )
Editoh Civilian :--As the steamer Arizona
les ves this morning, I hasten to drop you a few
lines, which, although containing but little of
immediate impórtanos, may, nevertheless, con-
tribute to keep up the chain of events transpir-
ing here.
On Saturday last, a strong gale from tbe
North sprung up here, sweeping over the sandy
desert and enveloping all nature in hazy clouds,
reminding one more of an old fashioned snow-
storm than anything else., and literally demol-
ishing the impregnable fortifications which some
of your cotemporaries, I observe, have spoken
of as existing here, with so much confidence ; —
existing, I must be compelled to acknowledge,
however, only in the imagination of the para-
graph writer. It is true, a breast-work or moat
was expeditiously thrown up by tbe volunteers
who first took possession of the premises; but
*8 the rope of sand bad neither foundation nor
Support, it could not stand, and, at all events
as it presented an equal slope on either side,
it strikes m«, presented about as much protec-
tion to the invader a* the invaded.
On Tuesday some four companies of U. S.
troops arrived in our harbor on the Matamoras,
from the mouth of the river, and were immedi-
ately reshipped on tbe Riisk, for Key West.—
The Rusk left the same afternoon for her des-
tination. She also took on board several brass
field-pieces, transported here for re.shipinent,
with the troops, and guaranteed to them by the
articles of capitulation.
I might here mention a little filibustering in-
cident which was on thu tapis in connection
with these arms. I am not apprised that any
dissatisfaction exists with regard to the terms
of agreement between tbe U. S. authorities and
our Commissioner, but presume that our boys
rather acted upon the emergency of the times.
The schooner in question, with the cannon on
board, arrived here the day previous, in advance
of the troops. The character of her cargo hav-
ing been ascertained, it ivas conceived by tbe
less reflecting, that it would be a capital plan
to seize the vessel and appropriate her freight
to the benefit of the young Republic. The news,
however, came to the ears of Capt. Powers, com-
manding here, who very promptly checked the
affair in the bud.
The steamer Daniel Webster left our offing
some two days ago; and it is my impression,
that she has gone to the mouth of tbe river to
take the balance of the U. S. troops. The lat-
ter did not evacuate Fort Brown as soon as an-
ticipated, consequently tbe volunteers who
marched from here about a week ago, did not
advance beyond the mouth of tbe Rio Grande,
where tbey encamped till yesterday morning,
when, (as I was informed last evening by an
express from Reseca de La Palma) tbey had
again taken up their line of march to Fort
Brown.
Capt. Donley's company of mounted men
are quartered at Reseca, the scene of one of
General Taylor's earliest and hardest contested
battle-fields in 1846. Well do I know tbe spot;
and I presume that to this day may be seen
many an evidence of that sanguinary conflict.
It is reported that, at the commencement of
our secession campaign, about 2000 United
States troops were quartered at the different
military posts in Texas. If report speaks tbe
truth, not half that number will leave the State
on account of desertions. A large number, to
my own knowledge, have left Fort Brown, with
their horses and equipment, and joined the
ranks of the Texas army. This was probably
one of tbe considerations that induced Capt.
Hill to come to the wise conclusion which ulti-
mately governed him.
The brigantine John Jewett, Cap!. Mount,
from New York, with merchandize, arrived here
on Tuesday last. She, with the steamer L'uion
and some smaller fry from along the coast, are
the only vessels in port.
P. S.—Since writing the above, the steamer
Matamoras has arrived from the mouth of the
river with two companies of tbe 1st cavalry
regiment, which have embarked on tbe Arizona
lor New Orleans. Tbe schooner J. A. Wood-
house, of New Haven, from New York, and
another schooner, name unknown, with mer-
chandize, have also arrived.
Yours, truly,
E. F. Gilbert.

Goods Reaching St. Louis Free of Duty*
A Washington dispatch of the 22d to the Cin-
cinnati Gazette says;
Secretary Chase received a telegraphic dis-
patch to-day from St. Louis, confirming the re-
port that goods were arriving there free of duty,
fhe mercantile community who have been re-
quired to pay duty on their stocks are complain-
ing bitterly that goods, supposed to havearrived
in foreign vessels at New Orleans, have been
sent by the customhouse importers to St. Louis
without requiring of them the payment of du-
ties. The government will adopt measures for
the payment of duties at St. Louis on all such
goods in future.

Proceedings in tbe I'.X. Senate.
Washington, March 26.— During a discus-
sion yesterday in the Senate, Mr. Clark asked
Mr. Douglas whether the revenue could not be
collected in tbe sec. ded States if the laws were
altered.
Mr. Douglas supposed it could. He thought
tbe question an admission that tbe Republicans
did not meau to collect tbe revenue till tbe
laws were changed.
Mr. Douglas, in replying to Mr. Breckin-
ridge's argument, said, as the law stands, auy-
decrees of the tjjurts of the Confederacy, with! body could go to any territory with slave pro-
the privilege of either party to appeal or sue
out a writ of error.
The act requires that all the records, papers,
dockets, depositions, and judicial proceedings
of every kiud, appertaining to any suit now
pending in the Circuit or District Courts of the
United States, shall be transferred to the Dis-
trict Court of tbe Confederate States, in the
State and district in which the same was pend-
ing; and the same shall stand in tbe same
plight and condition in which they were in said
Circuit and District Courts, respectively, and
all previous orders therein made shall have the
same effect.
Shipment op Sp*ci« to Nkw Orleans.—
The Iiondon Herald, of the 6th, says: Of the
® £210,000 taken to-day from the bank, £200,000
is understood to be for the Bank of Louisiana,
9 one of the principal banks of New Orleans,
the directors of which consider it desirable to
strengthen their position with specie to provide
e against any adverse contingency from the se-
cession movement. Tbe operation is believed
® to have been conducted through a leading dis-
count house, the basis being short bills sent
from the other sida bearing the names of the
most eminent firms in America and England,
and which have not more (ban fifteen to thirty
days to bring them to maturity. The rate at
which they have been discounted is a seconda-
ry consideration compared with the anxiety to
secure tbe specie, the banks in tba South, as
wtll®as the North, having taken measures to
atfrest, if possible, a collapse.

gThe King has contributed thirty thousand "dol-
lars to their relief, out of his private purse,
and efforts for relief sre being made, but there
is still mueh suffering. It is stated that the
King has, or is about to offer a great prize to
those who best can plan a place of safety in the
shape of a hill, for villagers and country peo-
ple to resort to in Holland, in case of floods
like the last, where also they may secure their

And the judgements in all civil cases here-
tofore rendered in said Circuit and District
Courts of the United States, remaining unsat-
isfied, shall have the same in force and effect
which they had before the secession of the
State in which said Court is situated : and the

France and England.
In the French Senate, on tbe 4th, Senator
Boisgy expressed regret that no mention was
made, in tbe address to the Emperor, of the
navy, " which might render great service in a
war with England." Tbe report proceeds :
This remark was received with expressions
of dissatisfaction. Senator Boissy maintained
that the benefit of the English alliance had
been exaggerated, and declared, that a great
majority of the country were of his opinion.-
He further attacked England on the subject of
tbe arrangements respecting passports.
Mr. Billaub blamed the desire for war with
England, as the alliance of that country with
France would for a long time remain the best
combinatiou in favor of liberty and the inter-
ests of peace,
The subject was then dropped.
France and Home.
In the French Chambers, on the 5tb, the fol-
lowing amendment to the address was proposed:
I be hour has come for applying to Rome the
wise system of nonintervention, and by tbe im-
mediate withdrawal of the French troops, to
leave Itely mistress of her own destinies.
. uispatch does not state hoir the proposi-
tion was received, but it adds that « CountCa-
vour has, in a diplomatic way, brought under
notice the necessity of settling tbe Roman ques-
tion. !
A dispatch from Rome, the 3d, says:
Popular political manifestations are contin-
ually taking place. Twenty students have been
expelled from tbe University.
Francis II and bis ttusen are making prepa-
rations for departure to Bavaria. They are sel-
ling their carriages and have dismissed their

In replying to Mr. Howe, Mr. Douglas said
that the Republicans last session, in organiz-
ing the territories of Nevada, Colorado and
Dacotab, did what they abused him for want-
ing to do.

licans have carried out your principles, why is

New York markets.
New York, March 25.—The cotton market
was quiet to-day, while tbe sales comprised
150 bales at 12%c. for Middling Uplands.
Liberty—We regret to learn, from the Lib-
erty Gazette, that Mike, tbe Irishman, who
killed P. D. Bissett a few months since, broke
jail on Thursday night, tbe 21st inst., and made
bis escape.
The same paper states that, last Wednesday
evening, au Irishman, named Patrick Brien, in
attempting to get on the cars here, just as the
train was leaving for Beaumont, slipped and fell
upon the track, and was literally crushed to
pieces.
Ou Tuesday last, about 4 o'clock, P. M., the
store of J. E. DeBlanc was discovered to be on
fire. At the first alarm a crowd rushed to the
spot and found the bouse to be on fire in four
places ; one at the north side near the ground,
and at three places under the house. The lire
was evidently the work of an incendiary ; and,
we are glad to say, put out before any material
damage was done.
Proceedings in the United States
senate.
Washington, March 27.—In tbe United
States Senate yesterday, Mr. Breckinridge, in
reply to Mr. Douglas, said tbe Republicans had
yielded nothing essential. He asked the Re-
publican Senators whether they had.
Mr. Collamer replied, not that they were
aware of.
Mr. Douglas said Kentucky had justice and
equality in tbe Territories, according to the test
prescribed by Mr. Breckinridge, that the recent
organization of Territories was upon a non-in-
tervention plan. The Republicans had aban-
doned tbe Wilmot Proviso, Congressional inter-
ference jand repudiated the prohibition of slave-
ry bv Congress.
Tbe D lUglas resolution was tabled by aves
24, nays 11.
Mr. Breckinridge offered a resolution that
the Senate recommend and advise the with-
drawal of troops from the limits of the Confed-
erate States. Laid over.
Mr. Clingman proposed addiug, to abstain
from all attempts at collecting the revenue in
tl.ose States.
Tlie Southern Forts.
Washington, March 26.—In the Senate this
day, Mr. Breckinridge moved to take up his
resolution.
Mr. Pierce favored it, but thought Mr. Cling-
man's substitute went too tar. He deemed it
impro|ier for the Senate to advise the President
on matters devolving by law on him. He ask-
ed Mr. Breckinridge if his resolution extended
to Key West and Tortugas ; if so, he would
never withdraw the troo|>s from thence.
Mr. Breckinridge supposed his resolution
embraced those points, but he would except
them rather than hazard the defeat of the reso-
lution. He did not consider the withdrawal of
the troops from Key West and Tortugas essen-
tial to public peace.
Mr. Rice said il the seceded States were de-
termined to remain out of the Union, be favored
their going in peace, and would give them the
forts and arsenals for the sake of peace ; but
they were not in possession of Key West and
Tortugas, and never will be; Northern com-
merce needs these points—not they; and be
would not give them up under any circumstan-
ces.
Mr. Douglas was willing to give up Forts
Sumter and Pickens.
Mr. Wade said the seven States were domi-
neered over by the usurpation of military des-
potism. It they had the power they would
invoke us to vindicate their rights.
After further debate, a vote was taken ou the
resolution, as follows : ayes 19, nays 10.
There being no quorum, the House adjourned
till to-morrow.

Arrival of the City of Baltimore.

Westward Ho.—Artemus Ward,in one of his
late letters, says that he " Went to Westward
Ho." The place is not very accurately laid
down in tbe maps, though it certainly should
not be regarded a* unexplored territory, for
people have been going there ever siuce we
can remember. Some twenty-five years ago
Manifest Destiny directed our own course in
search of this mysterious region, and we sup-
posed we had found it in Texas ; but Manifest
Destiny, like the Police in the story of Dickens,
still commands those subject, to his authority
to " move on and many people iu Texas find
themselves situated like children following tbe
rainbow, ur benighted travelers led by Will-o'
the-Wisp. The Alaum Kxpress meutions the
departure of six families from San Antonio for
Southern Mexico, and says that a train con-
taining twenty families passed through that
city on Monday, the 25lli, bound for California.
This party comes from Clinton. Tbey expect
to be joined by others west of San Antouio.—
The Express says that many persons talk of
moving. We should tbiuk Sau Antonio about
lar enough West for any present pur|>ose.
tw T he Sherman Patriot favors the plan
of forming a new State out of certain counties
of Northern Texas and the adjacent Indian
territory ; but denies that the object is to make
it a free State. Many of tbe Indians are slave-
holders, and the Patriot asserts that the insti-
tution will lie protected. Nevertheless, that
paper says that the interests of Soutbcru Texas
which it represents to depend on cotton and
sugar, and those of Northern Texas, which
depeud on grain and live stock, are dissimilar-
We regret to see this movemeut, which must
prove an entire tailure, seriously discussed at
the present time, wheu the public mind is |>ecii-
liarly exciteable.
P. S. A convention had been called at Boggy
Depot, to discuss this matter. A later number
of the Patriot savs :
The Convention now in session at 15o;gv
DejHit, will, we understand, resolve to go along
with Texas, as their only choice of salety.
So the matter ends. The Patriot says that
the Indian tribes have lately removed from
their midst all persons disaffected to the -lave-
ry institution.
A. J. Donelson on the Existing Crisis.-- An-
drew Jackson Donelson, candidate for vice-Pre-
sident on the American ticket for 1S56, was ad-
dressed a few days since by General Foote in
a letter inquiring as to his political views. In
bis reply Mr. Donelson says :
My plan of action for tlie border States is to
meet iu council at Frankfort, or any other
central point, by the instrumentality of dele-
gates, who will represent the wishes of the
people, whose duty it will be, after due consul-
tation, to unite upon some measure which will
secure their rights, and that this measure shall
be submitted in kindness and good feeling to
our brethren of the other States, including
those that have seceded ; and that it shall be
made a part of the constitution, as an amend-
ment, if it lie accepted by them.
If this etlórt should fail, and not be accepted
by our northern friends, after thev have had a
reasonable time to examine its provisions, then
there is no other alternative for the border
States but to call a general convention of all
the Southern States, for the pur|io*e of forming
such a federal government as may be deemed
necessary to promote their happiness, prosperi-
ty and independence, as a separate conteder
acy.

isbed at the many sudden changes made re
cently by prominent ]>oliti<:iaus. A high jtidi
cial oflicer of Texas has informed the public
how far an oatb of allegiance is binding, and
when its obligations cease. To swear not at
all is no longer the rule, but the exception, aud
•to swear but once, like a little learning, is a
dangerous thing. It was not au old politician
or soldier, but a woman, Queen Constance, who
upbraided the Archduke, ber ally for deserting
her and her fortunes, to "swear peace" between
Philip of France and John of England thus :
"Hast thou not spoke like thunder on our side,
Been sworn our soldier—bidding us depend
Upon thy stars, thy fortunes, and thy strength ?
And dost thou, now, fall over to our foes?"
Ber Majesty was less relief;ting than some

How strange that in thinking of a man, I
can't help thinking ot a lizard ! There is a
lizard on a fence—a sprightly, nimble lizard,
with great inclination to skip and move about,
and change from fence to bough, and from leap
to leap. The lizard is on an old, sombre col-
ored fence, and his color is so like it, that, but
for his bright eye, you'd scarcely observe it.—
It springs upon a leaf. In a few minutes it
has absorbed the green of the leaf, and is
changed from a sombre colored to a very green
lizard. Always wait awhile before you pro-
nounce the color of a lizard "fast colors," to see
if it don't change a little to partake of tbe hge
of the objects it comes in contact with.

secession of that State from the Federal l'uion
The vote was- yeas 3¿, nays 3i).
The ordinance was for immediate secession,
and appear* to have been rejected for that
cause. Two days afterwards, they passed an
ordinance, directing the submission to the voters
of the State, at a special election to be held on
the 3d day of August next, of the question of
" Secession" or "Co-operation."
The ordinance provides that if, at that elec-
"lion, a majority of all the legal votes of the
Stale shall be cast for "secessi jü," such vote
shall be takeu, by the convention, as instruc-
tions to dissolve, immediately, the connection
between Arkansas and the federal Union. If
a majority shall be cast for co-operation, then

steps as may be deemed proper for " further
co-operation with the border or unseceded slave

Blessings of Bankruptcy.—As a general
rule which may make all creditors who are in-
clined to be severe, pretty comfortable in their
minds, no men embarrassed are altogether hon-
est, very likely. They conceal something; they
exaggerate chances of good luck, hide a a ay the
real state of affairs, say that things are flourish-
ing when they are hopeless; keep a smiling face
(a dreary smile it is) on the verge of bankrupt-
cy; are ready to lay bold of auy pretext for
delay, or of any money, so as to stave off the
inevitable ruin a few days longer. "Down
with such dishonesty," says the creditor in tri-
umph, and reviles his sinking enemy. You fool
why do you catch at a straw ?" calm good sense
says to the man who is drowning. " You
villain, why do you sbriuk from plunging into
the irretrievable Gazette V" says prosperity
the poor devil battling in that black gul I. Who
has not marked the readiness with which the
closest of friends and honestest of men suspect
and accuse each other of cheating, when they
fall out on money matters '! Everybody does
it. Everybody is right, I suppose, and the
world is a rogue.— Thaclc«ru>j.
Home Education.— Mothers are too apt to
think that when their sons and daughters have
graduated at a select seminary, gone through
the usually prescribed routes of studies, grap-
pled with a few fashionable "isms," and made
themselves familiar with conventional rules—
their education is completed. But there is a home
education which should be going on all the tine,
and iu which mothers should be pre-eminently
fitted to perform tbe principal part, because
tbey are, from position and circumstances'
brought iuto more intimate relations with their
children, audit is their peculiar province, as it
should be their delight, to discharge these du-
ties. Until our daughters are thus properly
educated there will be a danger that the mothers
of the land will be in future years inefficient,
trifling characters, and their influence will in
turn have its effect in modeling the pliant minds
of their offspring.
W aterburt Gold, so called from the place
wnere it is principally mauufactured, in Con-
necticut, was first discovered in France, and so
strongly resembles gold as to deceive all but
the expert. The "oreide" is composed of cop-
per, zinc and tin, magnesia, and ammoniac,
lime and cream of tartar, fused carefully to-
gether. The cost of the metal is very light,
and the expenses of manufacturing it into ar-
ticles of ornament is reduced, by machinery,
to so low a point as to leave a handsome profit
to those who present "a full set of jewelry to
the purchasers of a book worth one dollar."

covered with a ilense forest, through which the
only paths are those made by the river and its
tributaries. This forest is literally impenetra-
ble. Humboldt remarks that two mission sta-
tions might be only a few miles apart, and yet
the residents would require a day and half to
visit each other., along t!i* windings of small
streams. The wild animals themselves get in-
volved in such impenetrable masses of wood,
(even the jaguar,) that they live for a longtime
ill the trees, a terror to the monkeys, whose do-
minions they have invaded. The trees measure
from eight to twelve feet in diameter, and the
intervals are occupied by shrub-like plants,
which here, in these tropical regions, become
aliorescent. The Amazon is navigable for 2,0UU
miles from the ocean; it is nearly 100 miles
wide at its month, in some places 600 feet deep;
and its torrent projects, as it were, into the
ocean wore than 300 miles, perceptibly altering
itn waters at this distance from the American
shore.

Goods Duty Fkkr.—The St. Louis Repub-
lican, of the 23d inst., has the following :
Every day our importers of foreign mer-
chandise are receiving, bv way of New Orleans,
very considerable quantities of goods, duty free.
Tbe goods are landed at the port of New Or-
leans—no customhouse notice is taken of them
—no bonds are executed for the payment of
duties on their arrival here ; and on many ar-
ticles the saving of one-half the duty, only,
would ailbrd a ban isouie profit. If this thing
is to become permanent, there will be au entire
revolution in the course of trade, and New
York will suffer terribly. l)ur merchants have
capital enough to justify them in making their
purchases in Europe, and shipping to New Or-
leans, and iu that city, because of.the differ-
ence in the tariff, goods can be bought cheapar
than in New York. With these advantages,
we shall be able to sell cheaper than any other
city in the Valley of tbe Mississippi.
Salt and Fkf.su Watkr Exhalations.—
Venice lies, as we know, in the midst of salt
lagoons, while the surrounding terra fir-ma is
marshy through the agency of fresh water,
which the Venetian Republic had. bv vast and
costly hydraulic contrivances, carefully exclud-
ed from the lagoons. Now, although this marshy
soil is scarcely three miles from the city, which
is itself constantly immersed in the emanations
from the lagoons, it is a fact, that the ague is a
very rare malady at Venice, while it is prover-
bially endemic in the adjoining marshes, and to
such an exteut that the custom-house officers
stationed at Fusine some years ago were entitled
to a daily ration of quinine, at the charge of
government. Hence, it appears that, while fresh
water emanations relax the fibres of the human
body, without any other redeeming action, the
emanations from salt water, although they have
the same tendency to produce relaxation, yet at
the same time are pregnant with a corrective
w hich neutralizes th it effect.
It will be remembered that in the slory of
the " Heart of Mid-Lothian," by Sir W'alter
Scott, Effie Deans is condemned to death, and
that ber sister finding all other meanse to save
her life useless, walks from Edinburgh to Lon-
don personally to intercede with the Queen,
whom she sees after many difficulties. The
Queen is surprised at the immense labor whicb
has been taken by the girl and inquires why
she should be expected to grant the pardon,
when Jennie eloquently replies: "Ob! my
leddy, w hen the hour o' trouble comes to mind
and body, and. the hour o' death comes that
comes to high and low, it is na what we ha'
done for oursel's, but what we ha' done for
others, that we think on maist pleasantly."

Thousands are daily speaking in the praise of
DR. EATON'S
INFANTILE CORDIAL,
And why ? because it never fail* to afford inst an
taneoun relief when given in time. It acts as il by
magic and out trial alone will convince you that
what we say is true. It contains
No Paregoric- or Opiate
of any kind, and therefore relieves by removing the
sufferings of your child, instead of by deadening itn
8ensibilitie9. For this reason, it commends itself as
the only reliable preparation now known for Chil-
dren Teething, Diarrhoea, Dysintkry, Griping in
the Bowels, Acidity o the Stoma n, Wind, Cold
in the Head, and Crocp ; also, for Softening the
Gums, Reducing Inflamation. Regulating the Bowels,
and relieving pain, it has no equal—being an ant i
spasmodic it is used with unfailing tru ces# in all
cases of Convulsión or other Fits. As you value
the life and health of your children, and wish to save
them from those sad and blighting consequences which
are certain to result from the use of narcotics of which
ail other remedies for Infantile Complaints are com-
posed, take none but DR. EATON'S INFANTILE
CORDIAL, this you can rely upon. It is perfectly
harmless, and cannot injure the most delicate infant.

City Railroads in London.—The improve-
ment of city railroads having beeD once started
in England, it is making friends very rapidly.
Nine different companies have lately applied

gigantic in their conception, aud will cobt vast
sums to complete them.
