SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 12. 1857
05" We call attention to the adTertiaeraeui
of the " University of Louisiana which will
he found in another column
05" We have no lime to comment apon
the extraordinary and nnprecedtnied cores-
pimdence which we pnhliah to-day ltween
the President of the United States and ome
forty o11 men who call themselves elector of
the State of Connecticut. We say thia cor-
respondence ii extraordinary and unprece-
dented. Tor when can be found any Instance
In ur pat history of the President of these
United States condescending to ester Into a
ptrfonal and private discussion of any po'itl-
cal question for publication in our journals?
ThiH we believe is the first instance In oar
history when any snch attempt has been
made to draw the President of the United
States into an unofficial political discussion;
or if any similar attempt was ever before
made we are perfectly sure no other Presi
dent ever condescended to reply. Such con-
descension on the part of the President is the
more Burpriinct from the exceeding inde-
corous If not insulting language with which
he has been addressed It Is true the stpners
do not directly charge the President with of-
ficial malfeasance and a violation of his
solemn oath to support the Constitution bnt
they announce to his Jaw these grave and
criminal eharcM against him and they seem
to tale pains to make it understood that
they believe the charges true.
The facts stated In the President's answer
undoubtedly f nrnish a full vindication of hlm-
nelf from those insulting charges but theme
facts constitnte a part of the legislation of
the country and should have been tnown to
the writers of this letter; and this circum-
stance makes the impeachment of the Presi-
dent the more inexemable.

That Hoax. That report about the whole
nal" slaughter of some of our most distinguish-
ed ciCzens was almost an unpardonable hoax
and we presume the author uf it will hardly
venture to make himself known by claiming
credit forach an attempt to impose npon the
public Mr. J- T. Kennedy a respectable cit-
izen of HnntHTlU. arrived by the Galveston

was received in Columbia 6 C on the 3d

Health or New Orleans We have re-
ceived the Report of tbe Board of Health ot

iood to decline opposing Mr. Hunter's re-election
to the U S State. It is inferred that he

paper that the difficulties existing for some-
time put with tbe cart men on the road and
other part. e have finally been coscludfd and
the road is no clear and pafe The Herald
ay these nnfortunat difficulties have btn
the means of driving off considerable busincfS
flrom that city and mentions an instance of a
3texicin merchant wbowason his way to pur-
chase $12000 worth: of koinLj. who on hearing
.f the difficulties retuTntd home There is no
doubt tbe incidents of tbe pant two months
have been the means of keeping off a great
deal of business from that city.

that Gov Walker rf Kansas penlj repre-

army one purpose of which I to force the
people of Kansas to oley taws not their oic7ty
nor of the United States but laws which it h
notorious niid cstallilicd npon trvidiQce.they
never made and rulers they never elected
We represent therefore that by tb fore-

proclaimed to the cria Cerrgation of onr

essential particular the ooteinu oath which the

Washington City Aug 151557.
Gentlemen Otx my recent return to tins
city after a fortnight a absence your memo
nal without date was idaced In TQV bonds.
throneh the agency f Mr Horatio King of
the Post Offico Department to whom it bd
been intrusted From the distinguished source
whence it proceeds as well as its peculiar
character I have deemed It proper to depart
from my general rule in such esses and to
give it an arswer
Yon Cn-t assert that the fundamental
principle of the Constitution of tbe United
States and rf our politics! institutions is that
the people shall make their own laws and
elect their own rulers Yoa then express
your grief and astomhment that I should
have violated this principle and through
Gov Walker hive emnloved an armv. one
purpose of which is to force the peop'e of Kan-
aaa to vary taws not incir ou:n nor oj me
United States but laws which It is notonou
and established upon evidences they never
made and rulers they never elected ' And
as a corollary from the foregoing yoa repre-
sent that I am ' openly held up and pro-
claimed to tbo great derogation of our na
tloual character a violating in its moat es
sential particular the solemn oath v.)ucb the
President has taken to support the Constitu-
tion of this Union n
These are heavy charges proceeding from
gentlemen of your high character and If well
founded ought to conIgo my name to in-
famy Bat in proptrtioa to thtir cravity
common justice to fay nothing of Christian
charity required that before making them
you should have eVarlv ascertained tint they
were well foundfd Ifnot they will rebonn 1
with withering condemnation npon their au-
thor Have you p-rformed this preliminary
duty towards the man who however ui-
worthy is the Chief Magistrate of your
country? If " either you or I am laboring
under a trage delosion Should this prove
to be your caw it i'l present a memorable
example of thf trath that political prejuuic1
U b'md even ti the exi tence of the plaine-t
and no: palpable hi" to leal fict' To these
facts let us rrfer
When I entered upon the duties of the Pres-
idential office on the 4th of March last what
was the condition of Kansas? This Territo-
ry had been organized ender the act of Con-
cres of 20th Hay 155 and tbo government
in all Its branches was in full operation. A
Governor Secretary of the Territory Chief
Justice two Associate Justices a Marshal
and District Attorney had been appointed hy
my predecessor by and with the advice anil
consent of th Senate and -were all engaged
In discharging their reajtcctivc duies A code
of laws had been aacted by the Territorial
Legislature; andtbji3iciary were employ-
ed in exponndmg and carrying these laws in-
to effect It is quite true that a controversy
had previously arisen respecting the validity
of the e'ectlon of members to the Territorial
miniature and of the law nass'd hv them :
mitft the time I entered upon my official du-
ties Con-r k1 recognized this Legislature

completed his term of service on i "-.n-i
vioas to mv inausnratirn In fact 1 . ;
the covernment of Kansas as well e-tahlished
as that or any other Territory Under thesa
circumstance what was my dut ? Was It
not to sustain this government? to protect
it from the violence of lawlefi men who were
determined either to rule or rein ? to prevent
it from being overturned by force ? in the
language of tbe constitution to "take care
that the laws be faithfully executed ?" It was
for this purpose and this alone that I order-
ed a military force to Kansas to act as a paste
eo mi tat us in aiding the civil magistrate to
carry the laws into execution
The condition of the Territory at the time
which I oeed not portray rendered this pre-
caution absolntely necessary In this state of
affkirn would I not hare been justly condemn
ed bad I left the Marshal and other officers of
a like character impotent to execute the pro
ces aud judgments of courts of justice estab-
lished by Congress or by the Terntorlal Leg-
islature nnder its express authority and thus
have (suffered the Government itself to become
on object of contempt in the eyes of the peo-
ple? And yet this is what yon designate as
forcing the people of Kansas to obey laws
not their own nor of the United States " and
for doing which you have denounced me as
having violated my solemn oath I ask what
else could I have done or ought I to have
done? Would yoa have desired that I should
abandon the Tern tonal Government sanc-
tioned as It had been br Congress to Illegal
violence and thus renew tbe scenes of civil
war and bloodshed which every patriot of the
country bad deplored? This would indeed
have been to violate my oath of office and to
fix a damning blot on tbe character of my ad-
ministration. I raoct cheerfully admit that the necessity
for sending a militarv force to Kansas to aid
In tbe execution of the civil law reflects no
credit npon the character of our country
But let the blame fall npon the 'beads of tbe
guilty Whence did this necessity arise ? A
portion of tbe people of Kansas unwilling to
trust to the ballot box tbe certain American
remedv for the redress of all grievances un
dertook to create an independent government
forthemselveB Had this attempt proved suc-
cessful It would of conrie have subverted
the ei sting government prescribed and recog-
nized by Cmgresj and substituted a revolu-
tionary government m its stead This was a
usurpation of tbe same character as H would
be for a portion of the people of Connecticut
to undertake to establish a separate govern-
ment within its chartered limits for ths pur-
pose of redressing any grievance real or
imaginary of which they might have com-
plained acainst the legitimate State Govern-
ment Such a principle if carried into exe
cation h ould destroy all l-fil authority and
produce uulveieat anarchy
1 ought to specify more particularly a con-
dition of aCairs which 1 have embraced only
in general terms requiring the presence of a
military force in Kansas The Congress of
tbe United States had most wisely declared it
to be "the true intent and meaning of this act
(the act organizing tbe Territory) not to leg-
islate slavery into ny Territory or State nor
to etclu le It therefrom but to leave the peo-
ple thereof perfectly free to form and regulate
their domestic institutions in their own way
subject only to the couttitotion of tho United
States " As a natural consequence Congress
has also prescribed by the same act when the
Territory of Kansas shall be admitted as a
siaie it -soau oe received into ine union
with or without slavery as their const itation
may prescribe at the time of theiradmiasion."
Slavery existed at that period and still
exists m Kansas under tbe constitution of the
United States This point has at last been
finally decided by the highest tribunal known
to our laws How it conld ever have been
seriously doubted is a mystery. If a confed-
eration or sovereign States acquire a new ter-
ritory at the expense of their common blood
and treasure barely one set of the partners
can have no ncht to exclude the other from
its enjoyment by prohibiting them from tak-
ing into It whatsoever Is recognized to be
property by the common constitution Bat
when the people the bona fide residents of
snch Territory proceed to frame a State con-
6t it at ion then it is their ngbt to decide the
Important question for themselves whether
thfy will continue modify orabolish slavery
To . and to them alone does this qne-
II n belvJi rree from all fotiign interference
In the oj mi m of the Territorial Legisla-
ture of Kansas tje time had arrived for enter-
ing the Union at-d they accordingly passed a
law to elect dclen itrs for tbe purpose of
framing a State Coi ii n This law was
fair and just in its proviMuu It conferred
the nght or suffrage on " every bona fde in-
habitant of the Territory;" and lor the
purpose of preventing fraad and tbe intru-
sion of citizens of near or dMait States
most properly confined this right to those who
had resided therein three months previous to
tbe election Here a fair opportunity was
presented for all the qoalifled resident uii-
zens of tbe Territory to whatever organiza-
tion they might have previously belonged to
participate in the election and to express
their opinions at the ballot box on the ques-
tion of slavery. Bat numbers of lawless
men still continued to resist the regular ter-
ritorial government They refused cither to
be registered or to vote ; and the members or
the Convention were elected legally and pro-
perly without their intervention The con-
vention will soon assemble to perform the
solemn duty of framing a Constitution tor
themselves and their posterity; and in the
state of incipient rebellion which still exists
iu Kansas It U my imperative duty to employ
the troops of the United States should this
become necessary in defending the Conven-
tion against violence whilst framing the Con-
stitution and in protecting the lona fide
inhabitants" qualified to vote under tbe pro-
visions of this instrument in the free exer
cie of the right of snflrage when it shall be
snbmittedto them for their approbation or
rejection
I have entire confidence in 'Gov Walker
that the troops will not be employed except
to resist actual aggnsbion or in the execution
of the las and this not until the power of
the civil magistrate shall proe unavailing
Following the wise example of Mr Madison
towards the Hartford Convention illegal and
dangerous combinations Each as that of the
Topcka Convention wtl not be disturbed un-
less they shall attempt to perform some act
which mil bring thtm into actual colli -.ion

went they shall be n Muted and put diwu In
i the hile power or the Government In per-
I forming this duty 1 'hall baie the anproha

II thank ou for the assurance that you will

THE TRCTIl OF 1IISTOR1 '.
It haH become a trite remark that the po-
litical and party prejudices the da; and
the influences wielded by pjjftical aspirants
for tbe accomplishment of their selfish end
hate in nearly all countries generally so dis
torted facts in regard to contemporaneous
events that It has required many years to ex
pose the errors with which the public bae
thus been deceived by interested and ambi
tious partizansand unscrupulous office seek
ers Texas furnishes a striking ilIatrAtion
of these persevering efforu to distort and cvt-n
to filsify some of the most important eeotd
or our ret olutionary history We liat r l.e n
of late more frequently reminded of tint by
our labors' m compiling ivrtfoi) tf our his-
tory according to our pUi for each number
of the Texas Almanac tu m writing the his-
torlal skeliL whuh we rttcnllj- published of
the life of Gen Itask we were led to investi-
gate some of tliosa popular error and our
statements iu that article though made on
the h'fihtst authority hac been tailed in
que-tiou Tbo able and generally hell in
formed editor of the Dallas Herald while re-
publishing our biography of Gen. Ki.sk says
we have been guilty of a number of nn mport
ant errors calls in question oar statenie.it in
regard to the positive order issued by Gen
Koek previous to the battle of Siu Jacinto
and po-itieIy contradicts the statement
that Gen Huik delivered the eloquent ad Jress
over tiin remains of Tannins slaughtered

man is a more conclusive reply to thu Herald
than &n we can make
Editors News In the Dallas Ut raid of
tbe 22 1 ultimo I find a copy of your notice of
tbo death of Gen Kuss. accompanied by a
few tlitonal remarks In which the editor is
pleased to Bay " that the article in question la
the best we have seen. There ae however
a few errors in poist of fact which tbe truth
of history demands should not go uncorrected
we ca.1 attention ooiy to iwo.
1st It is trne that Gen. Kssk was in fir or
of flghttni: tbe eUcuij at ban Jacinto instead
of continuing the retreat; aud it is perhaps
true that he ave the order referred to which
brought on the ba.tte but it is also true th-u
Col Jno A Wharton. tbe keenest bladoon
the field of Sin Jacinto" was more mstru
mentil than anj other mau in bringing on the
battle "
Now sirs having mtde u of my name in
connection with those aflatrs 1 feel con-
strained tossy in justice to &. parties and
for the ''troth of hiiiio.7 that yonr statement
ts correct. Tbe editor of tbe Herald seems
disposed to throw a doubtrnpon the statement
by Eajing "parhaps It strue. Now I Inow
this much to be true that Gen. Houston did
say to me at the time and place mentioned
by yoa thatCol Boss; the becretary of War
had given him i ctntive orders to march in the
morning for Harrisburg and that he was
bound to obey tbe order as coming front his
Bupenor at the same time directing mo to
so inform my regiment TLis was about 10 or
11 o'clock at night
It is also true that Gen Busk wnte tome
some time afterwards requesting me to fur-
nish him with a certificate of the fact -which
I did That Col Wharton did as much or
more than any other mau to force Houston to
fight on the 21st 1 do not question for his
position as Adj t General as n ell as his ability.
gave him great influence which enabled him
to accomplish much and I can assure you
sirs that it required all the ability he was
master of as well as that of many other? to
get the consent of the Commander-in-Chief
to Sght the enemy on that day
Even this did not avail at tbe timo Houston
called a halt lor Ruk did in violation of
Houston's positive orders take the responsi
bility of ordering the troops to advance
Although Wharton saw tbe great necessity
for their advancing and urged it as htrenu-
ously as RuBk stilt tbe Secretary Warwaithe
only person that could with any. propriety
assume the command On his doing so nous-
ton called upon men to bear witness that the
movement was contrary to his orders that if
defeated tLe resposibinty would not fall upon
him. and then be left the 6 el J The battle was
iron and the Commander m Chief has had no
use for the ici.ne.ses he called upon.
Again tbe Herald says Gereral Rusk di 1
not deliver tne adJresi over tne remains of
Fannin's men when they were collected ani
huried The address was delivered by General
Mirabean B Lamar & " I will say attain
yoa were correct in your statement and the
editor of the Herald has fallen into a great
error I t-peak from my own knowledge After
u was cecided mat tne remains enouid be col-
lected and burled with military honors Gen
Rask requested me to make the necessary ar-
rangements and take command of the troops
which I did
On the morning of the day oo which the cere-
monies were to take place I asked Gen Rusk
if he did not intend making An address he said
that he did not I re mark edjit wool d b expec-
ted of him and it would be proper he should
do so Other oflicers joined me in urging him
to make at least a few remarks on the occa
sion he consented and in one honr from that
time he delivered one of the most eloquent
and heart s irrlng addresses I ever had the
good fortuufc to listen to
At this time Gen Lamar was filling the re-
sponsible office of Secretary of War having
been appointed the successor of Gen Ruk and
was with the balance of the CabmetatVelasco
he did not return to the Army until after it
fell back to Victoria

In regard to the early history of Texa ap
pears to n to be the best and we gave it cred-
it accordingly in the Texas Almanac but
unfortunately we have detected numerous

Galveston Texas Sept 4 1S57
nn KrtPituiN Dear Sir Yoa request
me to give yon some expression of my opinion
with regard to the truth of the following
statement found in Yoakum's history of Texa.
Speaking ol tneuawieoi Diurnuiucuu
thor says ; "The Secretary of War at the re-
quest of the General In Chief took tbe com-
mand of tho left wing ' I can answer without
hesitation that I have every reason to believe
the statement to be utterly fal-- and that the
historian had no other foundation for it than
the assertion of General Houston himself
While the army was being formed for battle
by Col John A Wharton and a portion of It
already In movement. General Rnfe rode near
me when I remarked to Mm that as he
seemed to be an amateur soldier without any
position. I should like to go with him as it
woutd afford me a chanca of seeing more of
the battle; whereupon he Invited me to ac-
company hlra as his AId"de-camp We accord-
ingly rode oil together cnconnectcd with any
command when I was called back to the com-
mand of the cavalry. If Rnak was invited to
take charge or the left wing of the army. It
ranet have been after this Tdld not see him
again to speaL with him until after tbe bat-
tle; but I am as confident as I am of my own
existence that he waa never invueu io any
comman 1 by Gen Houston and that tha only
authority he Is known to have exercised on
that occasion waa when he afsumed there
sponsibility of continuing tho battle again-t
the remonstrance of the Commanier in Chief
when he ordered a hilt 1 have spoken of these
events In a publication which I made in tbe
Galveston News June 231 1S55 a copy or
which I sent to General Rusk; and to that
publication I respectfully refer yon
Yours respectfully
MIRABEAU B LAMAR
It will be seen that Mr. Yoakum's state
ment gives the command of the leftwlngto
Gen Itosk whereas it s well known that
Gen Sherman had that command
tCommunlcated.
What is a Billio ? Mr Webster in his
School Dictionary and Mr M'GulTey in bis
Definer give tbe word "Billion" the definition
as follows: "A million millions" Is not a
billion a thousand of millions ? I think so
If these common and popular standard works
are wrong. i9 it not right that the should be
corrected ? I wish some of your readers
would inform ns whether a billion i a a million
of millions as Mr Webster and Mr M Guffey
say or whether it Is composed of onlv a
thousand of millions A B HOY.

NewUses of Castoe OiL.The cultivation
the Palma-Chnsti plant which produces the
seeds from which castor oil is presaedhas been
somewhat exten-Ive in this country particu-
larly In Illinois but owing to the limited use
of castor oil tho demand has not been large
enough to warrant extensive planting IJut
its application toother purposes may increase
the demand and make its cultivation profit-
able as it would be at $1 a bushel for tbe
seeds in many places south of latitude 40
np to which point tbe plant matures without
much danger of frost and although it grows
much larger farther south it does not afford
as great a yeild In Mississippi as it does near-
er the northern limit of Its growth Xew uses
for castor oil have been discovered in France
M Ilcrrio a French chemist declares that it is
applicable to a great many industrial purposes
to which It has not heretofore been considered
applicable lie says:
By distilling castor oil upon concentrated
potash the sebacic acid and caprylic alcohol
arc extracted as separate products which may
be turned to good account The sebacic acid
having a high melting point may be employed
instead of Bteanc acid iu the manufacture of
candles and if it be mixed with stearic acid
the hardness and quality of the candles are
greatly improved and in appearance they re-
semble procelain It is possible to use capry-
lic alcohol in all the purposes to which ordi-
nary alcohol is put particularly In illumina-
tion and in tbe composition of varnishes and
from it certain other compounds may be de
rived of remarkable odor similar to those
which are at present largely used In com-
merce " l
The French people expect that this discov-
ery will prove of great advantage to tbe far-
mers in Algeria Blnce they can produce from
a given quantity of land three times as much
castor oil na they can olive oil and twice as
much as of palm oil both of which produc-
tions afford good compensation to the cultiva-
tor. Shall we not make it cquallv profitable
in this country ? iV. Y. Triltuie '
