currency that scarlet fever was pre-

^yesterday enquired of several physi-

been no case of that disease in town,
though there are several in the county.
It is not, however, considered epidemic,

presumed to be owing to local causes.
Attention is called to the no-

ASQUATTER SOVEREIGNTY;
Ina Territory Aoquirdd by the U. S.j
After its Organization.
yfThc term, Squatter Sovereign, is ap-
plied to the natives of a recently ac-
quired Territory, indiscriminately, as
it is to nil State citizens who immigrate
to a Territory, after its incorporation
into the United States. It is not the
appropriateness of this name, but the
political rights and powers of citizens
of Territory, claiming (organization tin-
der foreign authority, that is attempted
here to be measured : yet, it will not
be entirely irrelevant to enquire into
the import of some appellations ; for if
Territory be a term of specific political
import, that which has been advanced
in previous writings, has sufficient ap-
plication in this place to supercede all
necessity for reiterating principles and
dogmas.
The term State is, perhaps, more dis-
tinctly significative of a certain corpo-
rate or political condition ; but even
this is not exempt from ambiguity ; for
we do not agree among ourselves about
the extent of the rights and powers of
the several States, under the Constitu-
tion of the United States.
In other parts of the world, Territo

choice, but as the most eligible man foi-

Causing dissensions in the Democratic
ranks, and deserting the Administra-
tion in its hour of need—then we saw
in him the chosen leader of the luke-
warm, receiving the vociferous applaus-
es of the enemies of the South--then
we imagiued a compromise would be
effected between the dissenting Demo-
crats and the Republican party, which
beyond a contingency would have se-
lected Dpuglass as its standard bearer.
Although he resisted the allurements of
the glittering prize, and has since led
States' Rights party of his own State
to glorious victory, we can but consid-
er it unjust to those other Northern
Democrats who, faithful to their party
and friendly to the South, refused to
yield their allegiance, even to follow
the great name of Douglass. Although
both may have been acting according to
their conscientious convictions of duty,
the convictions of the one led him an
tagonistic to the others in favor of the
interests of the South. Then who can
hesitate for a moment as to where the
South should bestow her favors ? Let
her reward those who have been truest
to her interests'.
We- bope the 'Herald will pause a
moment for reflection, ere he asserts
that Mr. Buchanan could not carry a
single Northern State. Douglass and
his party have returned repentant to
the Democratic fold, and would doubt-
less gladly atone for past transgres
within theifr ^risdiction ? or ifi others yet.

in that particular Territory. Were it
otherwise, all resideut citizens in the Ter-

of the United States; and they would be
in the anomalous condition, of living un-

which the United States could not modi-

legislative action, could be repealed only
by a Joreign State/ Should it be urged

Mexico ? or, were they, at the time of
confederating, only what we may desig-
nate as detached Territories, having
nO political head, no government, no
organization ? They were recognized
throughout Mexico as States. If they
were States, in our limited acceptation
of the term, when they were compo-

their political grade reduced by the
ratification of the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo ? The various subversions of
the Mexican Government, and the nu-
merous pronunciamentos of her ephem-
eral Chiefs, must be wholly disregard-
ed ; or each successful Chieftain must
be recognized as ruler, by popular
choice. If we disregard the early as-
sumptions of power in that Republic.
New Mexico and California continued
to be free, sovereign, confederate
States. If the revolutions there fur-
nish the criterian for estimating the po
litical condition of the Mexican States
severally, the abdication and flight of
the usurper, Santa Anna, remitted them
to their unrenounced degree of free,
sovereign Staies ; and if we recognize
each successful revolutionary Chieftain
as President of the Republic, the result

mouth of the river on the 28tli Janua-
ry—when we reached Madison, we met
the Captain of the steamer J. J. War-
ren, who informed us that she had
struck a snag on the 25th January, and
sunk about six miles below the head of
the Narrows, we hastened on to give
such relief as was in our power.—
About ten miles below the wreck we
found Col. Ashton, of Shelby county,
and some others, in charge of some six
hundred bales of cotton that they had
succeeded in stopping, and they were
hauling it out on the bank. The bal-
ance, some 440 bales, Was still on the
boat. We furnished the crew some
provisions, <fcc., and did all

us about one day. ' The lower river
was too low to run witli safety when a
boat was loaded—in fact, the Warren
is large for the river. It is said
she cost some $18,000, and I am of
opinion she was pretty well covered by
insurance. The Captain informed me
that tho most of her cotton was in
sured also. I would have taken the
cotton out to the Pass, but we had on
some 3000 bbls. up-freight, which plac-
ed it out of our power. We find the
river up here at a much better naviga-
ble stage than below. I find that it
can be navigated at a much lower stage
of water where it has been worked out.
and with another season's work in low
water, I am of opinion that it will im-
prove the navigation of the river fully
50 per cent., which we contemplate do-
ing next season.
