a most gloomy picturo of tho future."1' He
said tho democratic party "had no longer
nii^5xi ience,'4 and that ho "would cordial;
ly vote for Bi^l and Everett if ho thought
there was any prospect of their success."
That w£s a scandalous caving in. Ho
concludcd that "tli« election of Lincoln
was inovitablo. and nothing was left to the
South-but to show an undivided front to
tho aggressions of the foe." Tho doings
Ot Baltimore and Charleston have "killed"
poor Pryor. Ho was a democrat in whoirt
there was no guile. Tho Richmond En-
quirer .while supporting Breckinridge
wttrinly, advises tho Northern democrucy
to go for Douglus as tho only way to de-
foat tho rail-splitter. It is a singular
tiling that thy (Jamocrnoy of Virginia liúvS
held no ratification meetings yet,' Many
of tho leaders aro working earnestly, de-
votedly and .tearfully for a compromise.

recognize an oXpressiun of the principles on
ivljiel! we have ev«jr.,stood, ajid (or which yv^
will ever contend, and yve therefore Jieartily
approve and endorse theiii.
Reaulcedj 3il. That in the Hon. John C.
Breckinridge, ol Kentucky, and Qeii. Jo.
Lane, of Oregon, we recognize glorious stand-
ard bearers of a glorious party, and we
pledge tlicm our united and enthusiastic
support in the present canvass.
Resolved, 4th. That in the present crisis
of the alfuirs of our country, when tho cher*
islicd institutions of the South are assailed
by a great and powerful party, entirely un
represented on our soil, it is thu duty of eve-
ry Southern mail of whatever party 'to unite
with tho defenders of his country against a
common Toe, and forsaking old issues to
join with us in presenting a united front to
the assaults of fanaticism, and we earnestly
cull upon all true patriots of tho South to
cOlue to our help n ele/ecting Bi'eckmridge
and Lane.
Resol ired. 5th. That a committee often be
elected by this meeting to draft a platform
and prepare li pi n for the establishment ol
a Breckinridge and La'ife Club lii tho city of
lI"Uston.
many papers have followed it, but from an
Intimate aoquniutunoe with tho politics of
tho State, wo supposo tho party will bo
split almost hull' iu two, tho bigger half,
going for Douglus. This winds up tho
matter of democratic ascendency in North
Carolina. Her 10 electoral votes will un-
doubtedly be given to Bell. r So much for
Baltimoru mid Charleston. In tho demo-
cratic calendar let thein be names forever
accursed ! Tho democrats,divided as.they
are iu regard to the presidency, will make
an earnest effort to re-elect Gov. Ellis
and secure a majority in tho Legislature,
so as to return Thomas L. Cllngmiin to
tho Senate. If he is defeated, George E.
Badger will most likely take his place.
Tennf.sske—The Memphis Avalanche
comes to us with a dozen or two big
Breoklnridge roosters oroiflnglustily over
a grand ratifioatiou meeting iu Memphis,
iu which there was a- prodigious amount
of onthuslasiii. Tho Avalanche thinks
Brocklnridgo will sweep the Stato like a
whirlwind. I'erhjips ho will. Wo hope
he may. We should be pleased to see it.
The Douglas men have not yet appointed
au electoral ticket, and from the little noise
tlioy make wo presume they hardly will.
Tho only papers which we . have noticed
supporting Douglas in Tennessee aro the
Memphis Appeal.'tlio Somerville Demo
orut, and tlM Quid Nunc; but doubtless
there are others. If the Douglas men will
behave themselves and not run u ticket in
Tennessee, that State will certainly give

of doing tliis, however, wo believe that the

ARTIFICIAL RAI*.
The disoou raging series of dry years,
with which Western Tf*a«, . has of )ate
been afflicted, has caused very many to des-
pair of its agriculturi] capacities. .T^ffe
is no disguising the fact, that it Is réla--
lively a dry country, of late, extremcljf so,
and nothing, but the recoliectioii of former
years of abuudaut crops, with tho belief
based thereupon, that they mtjggAgaiu re

pro-cuts itself—"Can not cultivation of
•the- soil" -be^carried on successfully trod
profitably, by artificial moisture?" Tho
yuceoss attendant up.on.tljo.B^jtem nf-frri-.
íñlpíi, introduced and practi'oed by the
l'otiner owners of the couiit'ry, and to
wUicb'we have been compelled.to resort
at last, gives this question a partially af-
firmative answer, and demonstrates that
as long as the San Antonio River and ad-
jacent streams continue to flow.from their
copious and unfailing sources, tlio neces-
saries of life cun be produced in abundance
for a, limited, population, much greuter.
than the present. But the system is ox-
treraoly laborious and expensive. It is
necessarily oon/incd to the lands udjaoent
to running streams, and is inapplicable to
the-groat bulk of rich lands in thiswostern
ntry. Unloss our'seasons itiaterially
'change, or oilier means of supplying, the
earth with the requisito moisture bo dis-
qpvered, these lands so fertile in them-
selves, and otherwise so Well ndh'ptcd to
cultivation, must be* abandoned to graz-
ingpurposes, with a prospe'ot in -years like
tho present, f a scarcity of pasture for
tho flocks nild herds, with which that por
tion nearest us, is already overstocked.
Then the ques ion arises, "can uuirrigiible
lands be supp'ied with rain by artificial
means?" We think they can,and at a com-
paratively small expense, in the lon'g run
the first erections and subsequent repairs
being alone needed, and the application of
water by the laborious and partial system
of irrigation, being entirely avoided.
A consideration of the external character
of this country.easily explains some, at lea¡-t.
ot the reasons why Western Texas iias
little rain, it is comparatively ,1111 • xtcn-
sive cheated plain, with few p rmanein
streams, and 110 dense forests. The earth is
exposed to the drying rays of a burning sun
iu an almost cloudless sky, tlio streams that
attract the passing shower, are few and
small, and there nre no mountaiiepoints of
sufficient eh vation above the surrounding
cjiiutry, to disturb the electrical" currents,
to cause a concentration of the passing clouds,
and draw d >wn the iniisture with which
they nre laden, to refresh and gladden the
parched and thirsty sod. The, heated and
dried earth seems to drive away the clou ls.
and keep off their contents, as if by a r.idi -
tion ot repelling dryness and tier longer the
drouth, the more difficult it appears for

tween Posident Bucbaiian and Queen Vic-
toria, relative to the visit of tlie Prince of
Wales :
Washington. May 4, 18G0.
To Her Majesty Queen Victoria :
I have learned from the public journals
that the Prince of Wales is about to visit
your Majesty's North American dominioi s.
Should it be the intention of Ili- ltoyal
Highness to extend bis visit to the United
Siates, I need not say bow happy I should
be to give him a coidial welcome to Wash-
ington. You may be assured" that every
where, in this country, ho wi.l be greeted
by the American people, in such a maimer
as cannot fail to provo gratilying to your
Majesty.
In this they will manifest their deep sense
of your domestic virtues, as well as tl.cir
conviction of your merits as a wise, patriotic
and constitutional sovereign. Your Majesty's
obedient servant,
«Iamks Bicha nan.
The following is the Queen's reply :
Huckingham Pai.ack. June 22 1SC0.
ihj Good Friend—I have been much
gratified at the feelings which prompted you
to write mo, inviting tho Prince of Wales
to visit Washington. He intends to return
from Canada through thu United States, and
it will j^ive him great pleasure to have an
opportunity to testify to you m person, that
theseWelings are fully reciprocated by liitn,
He will thus be able, at the same time, to
mark tlio icspect that he entertains for the
Chief Magistrate of a greut and friendly
State and ktndred nation.
The Prince of Wales will drop all royal
state on leaving my dominions, and will
travel under the name of l.ord Renfrew, as
he has done while travelling on the conti-
nent of Europe.
The Prince Consort «ishes to be kindly
remembered to you. I remain tver, your
good friend, Vicio in a K.
