49* See advertisement of Mr. Markey's
school, in Grimes connty. Mr. Markey has
an excellent reputation as a teacher, and
his terms are certainly of the most reason-
able character, considering the amonnt of
attention given to pupils.
The deaths since last Monday's
report, have been as follows :
Nov. 7 John Dubois.
" 7 Matthew Comford.
" 7 Child of Mr. Stanley.
W&m We hear of first rate sport on the
prairie now-a-days, shooting ducks and oth-
er winter firtrl. They are said to be unu-
sually plenty. Sportsmen will find a first
rate place to operate in, ahywhere alone
down the Brazoria road. A two day's shoot-
ing about the lakes and prairie ponds in the
upper part of Brazoria county, just now,
ought to pay anybody for the trip.
Thasksoivixo.—The Governor has ap-
pointed Thursday, the 24th inst., as a day
of Thanksgiving. We trust ere that, that
the citicens of this plague smitten city may
be able to unite in thanksgiving for the dis-
appearance of the fever from our midst.—
At this moment, a day of fasting wonld be
more appropriate. The custom of thanks-
giving d^y is one we are glad our worthy
Governor has seen fit to observe, jtnd we
donbt not the clergy and people of the State
wiirtremember the day as he recommends.
, As wcT^esire to publish the names
of all the dead by the epidemic this fall, we
should be glad, if any person knows of any
persor omitted from the list, to have him
hand in the name and date of death. We
have done all in our power to publish a com-
plete list, and do not think We can have
missed many, if we have any. The whole
number of deaths reported thus far, is be-
tween twelve and fifteen hundred. We have
lost a^good many, but acclimated a great
maqy more.
. We are pained to hear of a conside-
rable increase of fever in Hempstead. A
gentleman who came down on Monday, re-
ports thirty cases there. We trust the re
port is exaggerated. Oh for a frost that
will give yellow Jack his quietusA good
white frost would, we think, nip the pesti-
lence in the bud, there. At Hockley, a
single case was reported. At Cypress,
there was ne more. We hear this year, al-
most for the first time, that several wagon
era have taken the fever in Cypress and
Houston, and gone into the country to die
there.
The fever is evidently abating in
our city, but mainly for the want of subjects,

THE TROUBLES AT BROWNSVILLE.
We have the Brownsville Flag, Extra, of
Oct. 29th, from whieh we make the follow-
ing abstract: The Flag reviews the occur-
rences of the last six weeks. It says that
the border on both sides of the Bio Grande,
is the gathering place of criminals, there
being no extradition treaty between this
country and Mexico. The escaped felons
become ladronesby profession, and are only
te be kepi down by eonstant fear. In
Brownsville, there are but 34 Americans by
birth, capable of bearing arms, and proba-
bly about the same number of foreigners;
while the town has a fixed population of
2000, and a floating population, made np
of these ladrones or pelados, of as many
more.' There are many loyal American cit-
izens of Mexican birth , but all together
-are but a handful to the silent, watchful
pelados, who watch every motion of the cit-
zea with their belduques, long sheath knives,
by their side.
in the midst of such a population, what
*fan t^p citizens do? They have even
resorted to the most dangerous precedent
ef inviting Mexican soldiers from Matarao-
ras to eonte and defend them. But such
relief is only temporary.
The Flag goes on to disprove every as-
sertion ef Cortinas, in his proclamation,
showing that his pretensions are trumped
np as an excuse for robbery and murder.—
His object is. not mere stealing, for he has
too large a force for that.
Meanwhile, all in Brownsville is in sus-
pense. AH are under arms. All sleep
within the barricades. Families sent off;
the enemy constantly augmenting his for-
ces; the chapparell a continual fortress to
him; the settlements distant 160 miles of
uninhabited waste: a war of races threat-
ening ; indeed the condition of Brownsville
is deplorable.
An unsuccessful attack was made on
Cagkinasr*%ainp on the 24th nit. by the
Brownsville volunteers, in which they lost
one killed and several wounded. They
killed eight of the enemy, but were driven
back in confusion.
Day by day, Cortinas hovers about the
town, threatening to lay it in ashes. Who
are his aiders and abettors, who furnishes
his arms and pays his expenses, is a mys-
tery. The Flag believes that Cortinas is
but a tool for some powerful parties, who
do not wish to be known in his forays.
The account of the battle of the 24tb, is
humiliating one. One hundred and thirty
men, with a cannon and howitzer, were
routed: ud both pieces, together with am-
i a keg of rifle powder fell into
i of the foe. With the prestige of
ntetery, his forces were at once augmented
hy re-inforcements
Wentrust ere this, that the aid that has
been sent to Brownsville, has reached thsrf,
and hope soon to hear that the bandits hate
met the fate their crimes deserve.
Lower Corxntr.
'The Columbia Democrat mentions a case
of yellow fever in Brazoria and anot Iter case
of which there were some doubts. Frost
and ice appeared in Columbia on the morn,
ing of the 31st ult. Judge W. R. Thomas,
and V. S. Thomas, Esq., of the Alabama set-
tlement, sold their plantations lately for
forty dollars per acre. The stage between
the railroad terminus and Columbia, has
been discontinued for a week oi two past.
The Democrat publishes a black list of ad-
vertisers, among which is M. B. La Croix
of Albany. The old Doctor has always paid
us promptly. The balance of the Deino*
crat's list are not wortff a tinker's curse-
Helmbold is a scoundrelly fellow that can
be made to pay if you can only know when
he is going to take the benefit of the bank-
rupt act. We are sorry to see the Democrat
quite so strong against Reagan, who isn't
half as bad a mjin as the Democrat thinks
he is.
Uppeb Couxtkt.
The Pans Visitor says:
"There is an immense tide of emigration
pouring into Texas at present. We notice
the covered wagons passing, through our
streets, every day. The North Texian of
the 13th inst., reports that the stage be-
tween Boggy Depot and Red River, on a
single trip, passed 250 wagons, accompa-
panied by an average number of five per-
sons to the wagon. All the emigrants upon
that route, go to the west of this place, be-
fore entering Texas.".
The Dallas Herald has a long an4 very
interesting account of the Fair held at that
place last month. It continued four days,
and was attended by thousands of the peo-
ple of the surrounding country. The pri-
zes for thorough bredhorses,fine agricultural
productions, beautiful specimens of needle
work, elegant piece^hf mechanism, etc.,
were all taken, and the exhibition was real-
ly one that would have done credit to any
country. The tournament was not the
least attractive part of the festivities, and
the gallant knights, with their graceful ri-
ding, won the greatest applause. The suc-
cessful knight, of course, crowning the
queen of love and beauty at the ball in the
evening. The premiums awarded, amonnt
to several hundred dollars. We wish such
exhibitions could be had, at least in every
Judicial District, if not in every county in
the State.
The Waco Democrat says that a good rain
would^e very acceptable about there just
now. The health of the town and county
is very good. Frost has appeared on seve-
ral mornings.
The Belton Independent mentions a
heavy frost, last .Monday week.
ginnmi hopes to hear of our convales-
cence. Thanks for his good wishes, as well
as those of the entire press of the State.
Did'nt know how many friends we had till
Yellow Jack got hold of us. *
The Independent makes a good showing
for Bcltoi£ It is an elegant place, in a dry
lime, and not so bad a obe in a wet one as
to be evil spoken of.
The Independent says that the citizens of
Belton have raised $65 for the Howards of
this city. These contributions are as bread
upon the waters. They are all set down in
the great book above.
The independent says that the editor of
the Telegraph
"Is renowned among the ladies as be-
ing, by odds, the ugliest in the State.—
Misery loves company," and if we
can console you, it shall be done cheerfully.
When we were single, we made an impres-
sion on a handsomer young lady than either
of the ladies in question, and the testimony
we keep in our humble cottage."
They must have been scarce of men there.
As for ugliness, since we have had the fe-
ver, they tell us it has all disappeared. It
is like the man in San Antonio that carried
the jack knife for ten years, when a mule
kicked him in the face, and aotually impro-
ved his looks so much that he had to give
it up.
Middle Texas.
The Brenham Enquirer has the proceed-
ings of public meetings in Chappell Hill
and Brenham, at which resolutions were
passed declaring for non-intercourse, com-
mercially, with the Northern States ; ask-
ing for a law for the enforcement of imme-
diate punishment upon any and all aboli-
tionists in our midst; asking for the organ-
ization of voluntqpr companies to be in
readiness to assist any Southern State in
the protection of their rights, etc. The
spirit of these resolutions, is that of men
who are determined to resist any and every
encroachment on their rights; as Southern
men must do, if they would maintain them.
The Anderson Texian says there is no
yellow fever in Anderson, though it hears
of several cases in different parts of the
connty. The reports of fever in Montgome-
ry, were conflicting.
The Navasota depot is rapidly improving,
and there is every reason to believe there
will be quite a town there. Beason's creek
bridge is now up and ready for the cars.
The Texian is under the charge of a pro
tem in the absence of Dr. Dickson, who
writes very much like the Doctor, which is
saying enough for anybody.
The Centreville Times gives the prices
current of that place, as follows: corn per
bushel, 50c.; potatoes 50c.; chickens, each,
15c.; eggs per doz., 12 Jc.; butter 15c., etc
If that isn't cheap living, we would'nt say it.
The Times says that the late frosts killed
evetything green in that county. There is
a certain yellow thing hereaway which they
did not kill, though the killing wouldn't
hurt a hit.

port for two days. There was one death

day in New Orleans in the 4th District, in
which 55 houses were consumed. New Or-

The London Post, Lord Palmerston's or-
gan, regards Italian affairs as haviBg as-

the position as very embarrassing in which
the present state of the Italian question has
placed the Emperor Napoleon.
The Post considers it certain that the Ro-
magna will be attacked by the Papal troops,
and that at the first menace of armed inter-
vention there or in the Duchies, by the Pa-
pal troops jot their Austrian allies, Gari-
baldi's troops will drive them not only from
the Romagna and the Duchies, but will marsh

OFFICE OF THE PICAYUNE.
MONDAY, NOV3IEBER 7. 1859.
To-day the Legislature sits at Aus-
tin. We mny expect the Governor's mes-
sage by Wedrftsday or Thursday. There
will be but little difficulty in organizing the
House, and consequently but little delay in
getting to work, though our legislatures are
not apt to do an; important business the
first month, even if they do any at all.
It was thoughtful in our friends,
House & Co., last week, to send us a dozen
of elegant London Porter. We were just
wondering where we could get a supply of
the article to pick up strength on, when
the Ethiopian came in. The porter was
really prime, and our thanks went to the
kind donors day after day as we used it.—
We regard good porter as the best security
against a relapse a convalescent can have.

page of Beulah, far outweigh those minor
defects, to which, probabty as a too captious
critic, I have briefly alluded. The humble
position of the heroine while in the "Orphan
Asylum," her subsequent history, and strug-
gles amid surrounding embarrassments, her
lofty independence of spirit and deep scorn
for the factitious importance which mere
wealth imparts to its proud possessor, are
sketched with a pleasing accuracy of delin-
eation and masculine force and vigor, equal
to the literary efforts of the most distin-
guished standard novelists of the day. By
the citizens of Texas, especially, will the
work under review be read with peculiar
interest. Under the clear blue sky, and
amid the waving wild flowers that deck our
prairie land, Miss Augusta J. Evans, the
gifted authoress of Beulah, passed a portion
of her childhood. Here, amid scenes more
beautiful than the wildest dreams of the
poet of other climes, first germinated those
pre-eminent endowments which, even in the
dawn of hpr womanhood, have won for her
a fame and position which are destined to
link her name with the most gifted and hon-
ored sons and daughters of genius.
The advent of Beulah is hailed by the
ent ire press of the country as a happy omen
of still greater triumphs to be achieved by
American intellect in the teeming fields of
romance and imagination.
OR A TOR Y.
We remember once at school, a white-
haired professor of natural science, in whose
eye was always lurking some harmless mis
chief; but the gravity of whose features
was never disturbed, more than by the
slightest appreciative chuckle—beloved of
all his class, devoted to science—it was an
evil day to learning when he obeyed the
summons of the insatiable archer.
One day his lecture was upon the art of
plating metals by galvanism. After des-
canting to some length on the various uses
to which galvanism was applied, and how
completely a galvanized watch would de-
ceive the beholder, he went on to say that
the carrying of a gold watch was no longer
a mark of respectability. Anybody could,
for fifty cents, turn a pinchback watch case
into as golden appearance as the most cost-
ly time keeper in the land. And when he
saw a man flourishing with a rich looking
watch and chain, he always felt like asking
him how often he had to have it washed.
"But perhaps, gentlemen," said he, draw-
ing out from his pocket a Frenth silver
watch of tfce last century, "if I had a gold
watch, I might not have said this."
Time and again have we felt like apply-
ing the idea to our own feelings in reference
to Oratory. And yet we are not ccrtain
but that the dislike we have long felt for
the mere orator, was as well founded as i1
is deep seated. And when we have seen
young men carried away with the debating
society, and led to think that they were pro-
gressing towards the highest objects man
can aim at in life, by learning to talk, we
have thought oftentimes that many more
attractive amusements might be enjoyed
with less real evil to the man. Quaint old
Thomas Burton did not hit very wide of the
mark when he said, "A good orator is an
evil man, bonus orator pessimus vir. His
tongue is set for sale. He is a mere voice
—an hyperbolical liar, a flatterer, a para-
site, a corrupting cozener—one that doth
more mischief by his fair speeches than he
that bribes by money. For a man may
with more facility avoid him that circum-
vents hy money than him that deceives by
glozing terms, which made Socrates (in
Gorgias) so much abhor them;" and Plato,
in that same Gorgias makes Socrates prove
many more things about oratory, which in
any just conception it, need not make the
"I-**"- r "
both shams, and the art by which shams are
established, the world lias had enough.
Wherefore 0 man, whosoever thou art, who
hast a notion to oratory, beware ! Bestow
not thine immortality upon an art that shall
yield thee no good in life, nor forward thy
steps towards the abodes of good in a future
world! Learn not to talk, and the world
shall not be the worse for thy living with-
in it.

COTTON—Our last weekly review of the
Cotton market closed upon a moderate de-
mand, with less firmness in prices, and on
Saturday we had no change of any moment
to notice, the sales of the day embracing
gome 6000 bales, at about the range of our
previous figures. On Mondar several buyers
came forward, and as holders met the de-
mand quite freely, about 13,OOObales chang-
ed hands, prices being easier without quo-
table alteration. On Tuesday again there
was a good inquiry, at previous rates, with
sales of 11,000 bales, and Wednesday's lous-
iness amounted to about 13,000 bales, at
about the same range. Yesterday the de-
mand was very fair, and resulted in sales
of 11,000 bales, at previous rates, and to-
day, with the America's favorable advices at
hand, an active demand has prevailed, and
about 18,000 bales have changed hands,
making the entire business of the week 72,-
00Q bales. Prices have been without any
material alteration, and we repeat our pre-
vious quotations :

jgtfg3" The Galveston Union of last Thurs
day says:
"We hear from a reliable source that the
fever is increasing and proving more fatal
in Houston, than ever, and on one day this
week there were 21 burials."
We would like to know something more
of that reliable source, Mr. Union; and if
you will just give the name, you will much
oblige. We have faithfully published every
burial this year, and so far from there be
ing 21 in any one day last week, there were
scarcely more than that the whole week.
And the highest number any day this year
has been 13. The fever is not increasing,
nor growing more fatal* Wo have had
deaths enough in all conscience, but not out
of the usual proportion. We suppose at
this moment there are not a hundred unac-
climated persons in Houston. With a scar-
city of subjects, any increase of the fever
is simply absurd.
Henry Ward Beecher keeps the
croakers of his own church in perpetual
alarm. He is now charged with turning
Universalist, on what ground, does not ap-
pear. As a matter of curiosity, we should
like to see the evidence on which the Puri-
tan Recorder makes the following declara-
tion:
"What we have, with sad forebodings,
long expected, is now realized, in Mr. Bee-
cher's open abandonment of the doctrine of
the inevitable and eternal perdition of un-
godly men."
So radical a change of creed, if proved or
avowed, will make no small stir among the-
ologians of all denominations.— Boston Post.
The fact is, Col.,Beecher has been obliged
to abandon that doctrine in self-protection.
We only wonder he did not announce it at
the celebrated Sharpe's rifles prayer meet-
ings. If he don't die an infidel, it will be
because lie is afraid to avow it. No man,
who has made use of as much blasphemous
familiarity with the Deity and his attributes
as Beecher, can have that respect for them
which a deep seated faith engenders. As
for his religion—its all bosh. . He and Chee
ver, and Jo. Smith, and Theodore Parker,
and Tom Paine, and Garrison, Phillips &
Co., will all get to the same heaven togeth-
er; and it will be a heaven to which a dis
belief of the Bible will be the passport.

TO THE MILLION—Prof. Wood, of St. Louis has
after years of deep stndy and nntiring research,
succeeded in presenting to the public an article
superior to any now in use,and indeed it istroty a
wonderful discovery—we advert to his Hair Resto-
rative; the only article that has been completely
successful! in cheating age of his gray locks, re-
moving dandruff, itching, scrofala, &c. It restorei
the gray-headed to more than the original beauty,
adds new lustre to locks already luxuriant; having
the effect on coarse, harsh hair to render it glossy
and wavy; fastens permanently hair that is loose
or falling, and many other qualities which will be-
come known as soon as used.
The pride of mankind is singularly developed in
the keeping and arrangement of the hair; perhaps
from the fast that it is the only portion of the hu-
man body that we can train in any way we choose;
how important then, having thU portion left to our
care, that we should use all the means science has
plaeed in our hands to render it beautiful, and per-
manent. If you wonld have beautiful hair, glossy
hair, hair with its natural color alegantly preserved
to extreme old age, don't fail to purchase Wood's
Hair Restorative.—Daily Iowa Stat* Gazette.

Dirt - Kilters' Cure.
A CKRTAIX AND INFALLIBLE CURE
For this inoat pernicious habit I> now uttered to the
public in the above remedy.
Planters having negroes, and parents whose children
are addicted to this habit, may rely on a speedy and
permanent cure by using the DIGGERS' SPECIFIC ac-
cording to directions.
The evil effects of Dirt-Eating on the system are too
well known to every one who has witnessed a case of it
to need any commend, it Is often practised secretly for
years, while the parent, owner and physician are totally
unable to account for the lose of health and general de-
bility In the subject. The following are some Indications
of the presence of the habit., and whetiobserved, should
be promptly met with the cure: Bowels and Stomach
much distended, a constant sense of fullness, great ap-
petite, with very little capacity for eating; a total absence
of color in the >kih, face ^especially has a bloated and
colorless look; eyes dull, the whites being of n muddy
color, and no brilliance in the pupil.
We subjoin a few from a number of certificates iu our
possession, theorltrinals of which can t een on applica-
tion to the proprietors.

A GOOD COMPARISON.
lr7JThe Rev. William Roolett, a well known
Methodist clergyman, residing atNaples, draws the
following amnsing but apt comparison between Dr
M'Lane's Celebrated Vermifose, prepared by Flem-
ing Bro., of Pittsburgh, Pa., and a f.rrett:
"A ferret, when placed at tho entrance of a rat-
hole, enters the aperture, travels along the passage
seizes upon the rat, exterminates his existence, and
draws the animal's defunct carcass to the light —
And in like manner have I found Dr. H'Lan.'s
American Vermifuge t. operate upon worms, those
dreadful and dangerous tormentors of children.—
This remedy, like the ferret, enters the aperture of
the moutk, travels down the gullet, hunts round the
stomach, lays hold of the w.rms, shakes the life out
of thereptiles, sweeps clean their den, and carries
their carcasses clear out of the system. This, St
least, kas been the effect of the Vermifuge upon my
children."
A neighbor of Mr Roulatt, Mr John Briggs, adopts
the simile of the reverend certifier, tku s both giving
their most unequivocal approval of this great spe-
cific. after having witnessed its operations upon
their own children. Let others try it, and be satis-
fied,

preparation from the promptitude of its operation
will in a few hours clear the lystem of every worm
.together with the mucus in which they are eagen-
dered. It has also the pecnliar advantage of not
Beulah.—To say that the interesting ro-
mance, which under the foregoing title in-
vokes the encouraging smiles of the public,
is wholly exempt from any objections with-
in the range of legitimate criticism, would
be awarding it a eulogy which even exceeds
the merits of Bulwer's best productions.—
The chief defects of the work seem to be, in
many instances, a too studied elaboration
of style, together with a proneness to in-
dulge in those metaphysical discussions,
which upon the subject of theology, have
for years past divided the ranks of Uerman
philosophy, and led to the promulgation of
doctrines as wild and speculative, as they
are inconsistent with the principles of re-
vealed religion. These, however, are petty
faulls, from which but few new adventu-
rers in the realms of fancy arc entirely free.
They are like the dark spots seen on the
disc of the sun, which though casting a dim
outline of shade upon the face of the day
king, still permit that ever rolling orb to
move ou in its celestial pathway, in all its
primal unobscurcd grandeur.
But the rare beatific; unfolded in every
Some men, because they cannot speak,
give themselves over to regrets all their
life, and others because they can have an
unending pride of power. Bnt -which is the
most useful in life, in the average cases, and
which the most successful? And let us ask
the young man who dreams of fame as an
orator, to look among his acquaintances
Take for instance, the law, in which, if any
where, oratory should be successful,
the majority of instances is it the smooth
tongued, or even eloquent lawyer, that ac
quires fame and a fortune in his profession;
or is it not rather the deep student, who
halts, perhaps, in his speech, but who de
pends on the law and the facts to win his
case, more than on the effect of his argu-
ment, or his well set words to the jury ?
Exceptions prove the rule, and great or-
ators have been, and will be successful
men. But their oratory is no art which
they have learned, but the bursting forth of
their very nature. Daniel Webster and
Henry Clay owed not their power in speech
to any rules they had learned, nor did they
gain their strength in idle discussions of
whether Julius C%sar was a better man than
Cyrus the Great. And even with their
oratory, men of Jess genius and less power
were always in advance of them in the
State, and did more than they to mould the
times in which they lived.
We listen with delight to a speech in
which reason and imagination mingle their
powers. Burning thoughts arouse oar
hearts, and a kind of intoxication possesses
us. We are ready to yield assent to all the
orator has said. He stops. Our judgment
tells us that all his eloquence was bought,
and it but needed a larger price to have en-
listed it on the other side. We still admire
the effort, but we feel a disgust at the base
purposes to which genius has given its high
powers, and we are no more convinced than
before.
Thomas Carlyle is a great grumbler—the
prince of all grumblers. Yet we sometimes
think that there is a reason at the bottom
of his "grumbles," so to speak, which
m'akes them worth a consideration. And
when, from the bottom of his heart, after
considering the evils of oratorical shams, he
prayed that there might be one generation
without tongues, we said amen, without a
thought of the consequences. And even
now, we cannot, for the life of us, see the
evil that would result.
Bo not the teachers of our youth now-a-
d&js, give too much stress to "spouting,"
or what they call speaking ? In very old
times, when such men as Lycurgus and
Solon, and their compeers were brought up,
the teachers of schools put their pupils on
three years of silence at the very first:—
History does not lead us to think that such
taught boys made less useful men than the
frothy, foamy, gassy chaps that now-a-days
seize their sheep-Bkins amid a blaze of words,
and start out to talk their way through life.
Why, even our little girls tell us they have
to "say speeohes" at sohool. Poor little
things ! They don't learn geography and
arithmetic any the faster for it; nor, we
venture to say, will they be any better off
when grown because their native modesty
was put to the blush before a school full of
children to "make a speech."
Go further. Look at the doings of the
legislature of Texas this winter. If they
would pass a law to begin whith, that no
member should make a speech, they would
do more business in three weeks than they
can now do in as many months. And they
would do it ten times better.
The age in whieh we live, is much given
is speech making. The people become ex-
cited about something. T!'p- meet together.
One and another make speeches. Wordy
resolutions are passed ; the people go home,
and there's the end of it.
What, after all, is oratoryWe will tell
vott. It i« the art of humbug And of
producing a healthy action of the Stomach and
Bowels, thereby relievingmany Complaints arising
from a derangement of the digestive functions.

ing it nnder its direct and immediate influence.—
Although possessed of powerful and controlling
effects, yet it is Entirely Harmlesslso that it cannot
injur the most delicate constitution. When in per-
fect health, no effect is produced by'its use except
an increase of appetite; but when disease is seated
in the frame and hurrying fast its victims along th
path of life, then its mysterious influence is felt
and seen; it enkindles new life and rigor", and
brings health and strength back to the suffering
