This popular ballad was carried out in

numerous spiritual manifestations,we think
that the stock of "tangle-foot" now in
town is Bach stronger than that usually
kept op hand; it seemed, too, to impart a
pugnacious spirit to.tbe imbiber. It was
n general free fight all day, in which a
considerable crowd were very anxious to
take part. No serious damage was done
to any one, though there were some very
narrow escapes. It was an exciting day
for our heretofore quiet and orderly town.

THE OPPOSITION SPLITTING.
The Harrison Flag of the 29th ult., says
in one article:
The iud«pendent candidacy of Gwn.
Houston, as a Constitutional Union man,
and that of the nomination oí Mr* Bell, bv
a convention composed of the great lights
of the Constitutirnal Union move, have
placed the Union men of Texas in an awk-
ward predicament, is but too apparent.
Should they both continue in the field,.
Texas cannot reasonably hope to oarry the
field for either.
In another it says^
Houston's Jackson Democracy might be
swallowed without producing couvuiMons,
but proof that he unequivocally endorse*
Kuchanan's administration presents a pill
too repulsive to be contemplated, even ad-
mitting to be most skillfully sugar coated,
And again it says;
j Where's the old line Whig who will pa-
i tientlv listen to denunciations of principles
j he .has always cheti&hod, and their expo
I nenU, with whom he has always stood
! shoulder $o shoulder? As well might you
j expect to see water rapidly running up
j hill. This unwarrantable course has a
routed the constitutional union men to
! that degree that nothing less than a Hell
¡and Everett ticket will appease them, in
¡ Texas. We heartily accord with the move.
Let us be ifoverned by principle and con-
viction of right, and leave nose counting
to those who lore office better than their
country.
The above shows how matters stand !n
the oamp of the National Administration
Whig Know- Nothing-Democratic-Andrew
Jackson-Sam Houston party. It was to
be expected that such incongj-uous mate-
rial would not adhere longer than the co-
hesive power of the spoils of office lasted.
Yet, with a Whig editor for his organ, a
foreigner as Secret a ay of State, and such
qrooked Demooratio sticks ás tbe true
Democracy had weighed, found wanting
and thrown away, it might have lasted
longer than an ordinary farce. But the
Whigs are complaining even at tbe homce*
pathic doses of Democracy old Sam bas
administered, sugar coated as they were,
while some of tbe Know Nothings begin
to indicate nau&ia, and show restiveness at
their foreign Secretary of State, with which
Gov. Houston has rewarded the humbug-
ged foreign naturalized citizens.
But Gov. Houston understands well that
prejudice to Democratic principles was the
secret principle that brought bis votes to
him, and appreciating the power of this
principle for uniting fag ends and discord-
ant elements, be is now, and bas been for
months, piping bis war notes for tbe pur-
pose once more rallying and uniting his
followers.
TIIE ELECTION.
There was considerable interet manifest-
ed in the election l ist Monday, for State^
District and County officers. It will be
seen that the Sheriff's election is a tie. Per-
haps wben the official vote is counted it
may be different. Below we give a list of
the vote polled in the county. It is, in the
main, correct, but there may be errors we
know not of. In our next we will publish
the official returns ;

INSURRECTION.
By a letter from Dallas, of the 21st of
July, to tbe Houston Telegraph, we learn
more of the details of tbe conspiracy on
foot in tbe up country than heretofore. A
few days after the destruct ion of Dallas,
tbe out bouses, granaries, oats and grain
of Mr. Crill Miller, near that place, were
burned. This led to tbe belief, for tbe
first time, that all of these fires were the
work of incendiaries. Several white "men
were arrested for the burning of Miller's
out bouses, granaries, <fec., whose inno-
cence was proved. But several negroes of
Mr. Miller being arrested and examined,
made developments of tbe most horrid
character. A plot to destroy tbe country
by fire, murder and poison, was detailed
even to minutiae. A great many other
negroes were arrested, examined separate
and apart from each other, who confirmed
tbe exiatence of tbe plot in such a manner
as to plaee tbe matter beyond all doubt.
It seems that it was intended to impov-
erish the country by fire—destroy tbe arms
and ammunition by the same means, and
bare all things prep'red for a general
servile insurrection on tbe 1st Monday in
August. Tbe plot was planned and head-
ed by abolition emissaries from the North
and some in tbe ountry. It is state i
that Meach county in Northern Texas had
a supervisor in tbe person of a white man
whose name is not given," each county
laid off into districts under the sub-ageuts
of the villains who control the action o¡
the negrees in said dibtricts by whom the
firing was to be done. Prominent citizens
rf Dallas bad been selected for assassin
ation when they made their escape from
tbeir burning homes. Poisoning was to
be used among other means of destruction.
Old female* were to be slaughtered with
tbe men, while the voung woimn were to
be saved for parceling out between these
black scoundrels. The emissaries of abo-
lition preachers who were expelled from
Dallas County last year, are said to have
been tbe head of the plot. Some of tbem
have been identified, but fled before they
were arrested; others till remain and will
be dealt with soon. The negroes stale
that on tbe first Monday of August a large
reinforcement of Abolitionists, aided byre,
cruitsfrom tbe Iudixn tribes were expected.
Tbe jail of Dallas is filled with the vil-
lains, many of whom will bo hung soon.
The Masonic orders in tbe United States
now embraco 4.792 lod^ei . and 195,170
members.

Incendiarism is the order of the day.
The State Gazette of July 30th says the
Steam Mill of George Glasscock, near Aus
tin, was burned on the2Gth. It is said to
be the work of an incendiary. Loss esti-
mated at $30,000.
TheCentral Texian learns that an attempt
was made to burn Brenham. It is sup-
posed to be abolitionists who are at the
bottom of it.
The Central Texian says a meeting of
the citizens was held on the 26th to organ-
ize a Vigilance Committee—that there
were strong reasons to believe that servile
insurrection was contemplated by the ne
groes. Among the resolutions passed was
one to arrest abolitionists ar.d bring them
before the Presideut and conference for
trial. Also another resolution reqre.'ting
all denominations to cease preaching to
slaves until after the election in November
The McKinney Messenger says on Fri-
day, 21st July, the residence of Dr. C. B.
Haines, about four miles from McKinney,
was destroyed by fire, together with the
kitchen, also the furniture and wearing ap-
parel of the family. The fire is supposed
to be the work of a negro man belonging
to the family, who is now in jail awaiting
his trial.
Also, on 6ame day the house of Dr.
Shelton of New Salem, Rusk Co,, was
burned. Supposed to be done bv a white
incendiary. On the 8th of July at Black
Jack Grove the store of Messrs. Cate &
Mount was burned. Also on same day
at McCarvinsville, the store of Mr. Dupree
was burned.
The Paris Press says that on Monday^
23rd, the house of Dr. W. W. Stell was
set on fire by one of his negro women, and
consumed with all its contents, except two
trunks. The womeu confessed to the d eed
The burning of the residences of so ma-
ny Doctors looks like they are for some
purpose marked out for special destruction-
It may be to prevent detection of poison-

The Bel ton Democrat says a letter to II
E Bradford of Belton, dated 24th July(
says four attempts to burn that city have
been made in a week. A guard of forty
was kept up to protect Austin. .
The Belton Democrat of the 28th of Ju-
ly learns from the stage driver that while
passing through Georgetown on Wednes.

trying to save tbe building near it.

SOÜTHÜRN Lll'EUAKY ilüaSüNGKK.— We
have just risen from the perusal of this
Magazine of literature, and feel justified in
saying that it can not be tov> highly com-
mended to the patronage and support of
the Southern people. We believe it was
started by Edgar A. Poe, the most bril-
liant literary genius the United Slates ever
produced, who laid its foundation so firm-
ly in the hearts of all Virginians that it bits
since gone on in the full vigor of maturity,
and beeu tbe recipient of tbe highest order
of Southern literary effort. It is published
at Richmond, Va., at S3 per year. We
think the publishers either lack enterprise
in extending its circulation, or are too
much engaged in contributing to its in-
¡ trinsic value for efforts in that direction,
j In the hands of Mr. Bonner, its circulation
would become co extensive with the Union,
instead of a few States. The South has
been taunted and sneered at by the North
for the waut of a literature of her own.
Pride if not patriotism should make us de-
sire a change in this respect.
Hon. R. R. Cobb, of Athens, brother of
the Secretary of the Treasury, it is said,
has been appointed to fill tbe vacancy in
the Supreme Court of the United States
created by the death of Judge Peter Y.
Daniel. There seems to be no doubt now
about the House of Representatives ore
ferring bills of impeachment against Judge
Watrous, although the charges cannot be
tried until next session of Congress.
