New Book and Job Office.
We believe il is now admitted that this office
is fsr the ttost complete in Texas nnd we chal-
lenge & comparison of the work done from the
commonest to the finest fancy jobs with sim-
ilar jobs obtained in -Veiv York or Boston or
elsevhere. Those who have seen our job work
under the direction of our foreman Mr. J. M.
Conrad will readily admit the above statement
We hare also a bindery connected with our job
office and are doing the best blank boob bind-
ing and ruling to order end are ready to have
onr blank books of the heaviest and most costly
kind compared with those done elsewhere
both as regards quality and price. We are pre-
pared for XortLcrn competition and therefore
invite the comparison. We know that many
of onrnerchants and others have long been
Eending Mich orders to Hie Xorth having com-
menced to dobo atatimcwhensacuwotkcould
not be done at home. We are now ready to prozt
that they can have nothing by thus sendin"
their money among those who are doing all they
can to injure us. We invite ail to examine our
work nnd our prices and then decide Wc
have been at heavy expense to secure our home
fatrouage by fair competition and -upon the
principle of uiu'ual interest.

E3? An error occured in our cw Orleans
Special correspondent's letter of the fith inst
ky which the meaning of the writer was exactly
contradicted: He wrote that Mayor Summers
"issued his proclamation annulling all that
bad been dono by .Mayor Waterman" Ac. Our
Compositor changed the word annulling to en-
dorsing. .

23?" The celebration to commemorate the
completion of the Central Railroad to Hemp-
stead take place on the 23th inst at Hemstcad
and we see preparations arc being made on an
extensive scale for the accommodation of all
the world and the rost of Texas. Everybody
5s invited.
SP We are glad to learn that fine rains fell
last last week in Polk and adjoining counties
where it was much needed. Our information
is to the eCect that the rains have been general
in the country and secured the crops beyond
further contingency from drought. The earth
was generally becoming dry and in many
places crops were beginning to suffer and
therefore these rains fell just at the time tbey
-were most seeded.

J5JWe leain from onr Hew Orleans ex-
cbsuges that the ship Knickerbocker Capt
Barstow of the Unionline of packets between
Ji'cw Orleans and Liverpool which latter port
she left on the :7th of April with 111 passen-
gers and a full cargo was wrecked on the Sd
of May on tho IT. E. point of Abaco during a
strong S. E. wind and was supposed to be a
total loss. Three pasEcngcrs in attempting to
gel on board a sloop. from the ship were
drowned. The names of those lost were not
Ascertained.
pg" We find npon further examination of
otu exchanges that the charges made by the
committee as given in our Saturday's issue
against Mr. Floyd the Secretary of War arc
contradicted as utterly without foundation. A
memorial has been presented to the House
signed by the Governor Attorney General
Judges and more than 300 citizens of ITinneseta
lo the effect that the Tort Snelling property
aold for as much as it as worth. A board of
army ofSrajrs of which Gen. Harney was Presi
flejat has aietTerpressed the opinion that Fori
ljneuing was no longer neeueu as a point os
defence and that its abandonment was proper
It seems that the committee making the charge-
was composed of Black Republicans andthi.-
is thought to explain the whole of it How
ever the evidence as publishedin some of oui
exchanges seems to "make a strong case anr.
Teqnires some explanation.
i'r-w Ccstoji House We have frequently
visited the Custom Hoisbe lot since the buiia
icg commenced and are much pleased .with thi
manner in which it is being constructed. Th.
materials and work are conceded to be of th
very best description and to us the foundatio:
walls appear to be infScicnt to sustain the Fed

which they rest there can be no fracture a-

also that before they are put in the walls tbt.i

In addition to the main building there is
being constructed and nearly completed a large
cud permanent brick cistern and the offices in
the yard. The whole work is highly credit-
able to the contractors 0. B. Clusky 4 Com.

partial suspension of work on the main build-

Mr. Wm. Carey Jones son-in-law of the de-
ceased statesman CoL Benton Tecently pub-
lished a card in the Washington Union in rela-
tion to the opinionh of Mr. Benton as medo
known in a conversation with him a few days
before his death iilr. Jones makes it appear
that Col. Benton was a warm supporter of Mr.
Buclianan's Administration. In reply to this
Francis P. Blait comes 'out with a lengthy
article for the purpose of proving precisely the
contrary and showing not only that Mr. Ben-
ton was opposed to Mr. Buchanan but opposed
to all thc leading measures of his administra-
tion touching tho Slavery question the Kansas
controversy &c In fact Mr. Blair makes Mr.
Benton a Black Republican to all intents and
purposes. It is known to our readers that Mr.
Blair was for many years on the most intimate
terms with ilr. .Benton and was with him in
private conversation "a few days before his
death on an occasion alluded to by Mr. Jones.
We have not the space to devote to all the detail.-
given by Mr. Blair but trill give some of
the strong documents he adduces in proof of
what Mr. Benton's opinions really were. Mr.
Blair Bays the following biographical notice
was prepared and submitted to Col. Benton
by an intimate friend and that the original
manuscript has the marks of Mr. Benton's cor-
rections in his own hand making tho para-
graph just as here presented :
"In the Presidential election of November 1550
Col. Eenton supported Mr. Buchanan In opposition
ohU on oa-ln-lawy CoL Fremont. The reason
aligned by him ttss a confidence that Mr. Buchanan
It elected would restore the principles of the Jack-
on Adailni&tration and the apprehension that the
auccess of CoL Fremont would engender partltt
'utaltvti permanence of the Union. Me soon

Mr. Blair next says:
The grounds upon which he had resolved to base
his opposition to the policy of the Administration
wul be found In the fa .lowing paper which he sent to
icy son to submit ta the Republican party In Con-
rts5 after consulting the friends named In the note
with which 1 introduced it :

"L. TtooJcttf That the Judicial power of the
United States does not extend to political questions
and that all pretended decisions of such question by
the Federal judiciary are Illegal and void.
"3. Jietotctd That the late decision of the Su
preme Court in tbe case of Bred Scott against San-
lord so far as the same applies to the act of Con-
gre eAmmonly called the Missouri compromise act
is the decision of a political question not within the
iuriidlctiou or the Court and Is illegal and void.
"S EesoitecL That there was nothing In the case
before the Court to authorize it to take cognizance
of the validity or thc Missouri Compromise act and
the cognizance so taLen of that act was extra-judicial
and gratuitous
"4 Iiitolrei That the assumption of the Court to
make thc said decision when the case on the record
out of which It grew was dismissed for want of Juris-
diction was a clear and manifest proceeding without

"5. Resolved That the decision of the same Court

foundation to rest upon after the case was dismissed
forwant of Jurisdiction outof which It grew; and
that said decision was obiter dicta and without
legal effect or force.
"C Besotted That the said decisions are In dero-

"7. Hesolted That Congress and the rresidenl

botfa coordinate branches of the same Govornment

Tills preamble was Intended by Col. Benton to be
connected wi'a the act for the organization of Ari-
zona the proviso to follow :
"Wherzas The tract of country comprised within
the limits of ihe proposed Territory of Arizona was
acquired from the Republic of Mexico and was at
the lime of the acquisition and by virtue of the
laws and Constitution of said Republic free from
African Sliverr and still remains so free no such
Slavery having been since established there by any
competent authority ; n'f irfureas the Supreme
Court of the United Stales at a late term thereof in
l case In which a certain Dred Scott and his family
of African descent were suinE for freedom decided
that the Constitution of the United States of itself
aud by its own proper vigor extended to all the 'ter-
ritories of the United States as soon as acquired car-
rying the institution of African Slavery along with It
and protecting It therein without any power In Con-
(rrcss or of the people of the Territory to repel or

Supreme Court was made in a case which presented
nothing to warrant any such judicial action theroon
and which case bad been dismissed by the Court for
want of jurisdiction and therefore tbe didslon was
exlra-judicUl and of no legal force or virtue ; and
irJirreas the said decision was made on a political
luestion annnlltnc a political enactment of which
-be Court could take no cognizance and was unduly
ot bold of and wrongfully decided and contrary to
the uniform action of allanthoritles(legil&t!ve exec-

4ie Congnss of the Uciled States doth hereby de-
clare the same and make It kno-n In this preamble
chat the sail Tcrritorisl Government of Arizona is
stablisbed subject to the declaration hereby made:
Prodded that nothing contained in this act or In
the late decision of the Supreme Court In the Bred
.rott case shall be held or taken to authorize AM
.an Slavery In the said Territory but that Slavery
emains abolished and prohibited therein as at tbe
ime of its acquisition from tbe Republic of Mex-
o." The debate on these propositions became blended
rth the discussion on the Lecompton Constitution
uid superseded them.
To prove that Mr. Benton was opposed to
It. Buchanan and believed that he would be
-ovcrned by the federal doctrines which mark-
d tbc earlier career of Mr. Buchanan's life
llr. Blair says:
He gave me to deliver to my son to be used lu his
auras! in Missouri thc following extracts from a
peech cf Mr. Buchman with this endorsement in
lis (Cob Benton's) handwriting:
"Sir. Buchanan's anti-Democratic speech Lan-
as'er after the war of 1512."
The extracts upon which this endorsement was
-aide clipped by CoL Benton from the Congressional
.Hobe -where they were embodied la the speech of a
Ur. Culver of 2ew York and endorsed by Cob Ben-
ion as above are as follows ;"
"Time will not allow me to enumerate all the wild
toi wicked projects of the Democratic Admlnls-
.ration. They rashly plunged
.itfo a war tith a nation more alle to do vs in-
ttiry than any other nation in Us world.
It (the war 01612) took Its rise from
n overwhelming partiality wliich the Democrat-
if party have ultimately shown for France.

ministration." " But do the Administration trio incolred vs in
the late unnecessary war- derive any credit from
their exertions Certainly not They were the
tpontaneous effort of the country undirected by the
Government."
These proofs with Cob Benton's sign manual im-
pressed on them will convince the public that his re-
lation with the President and with his Administration
were not quite so cordial as Messrs' Jones and Hail
would have inferred.
W" should remark that a note from Mr.
Jones was immediately published as soon as
the above appeared in print in which Mr.
.Tones says Mr. Blair's reply to him is "a libel
on the life aud character of Thomas H. Benton"
which he promises to notice hereafter.
Sale of the Southern Faclflc Railroad.
From tbe Marshall (Texas) Flag of the Sth Inst
wc glean the particulars of the sale of the Southern
PadSc Railroad consisting of the twenty miles in
running order. Iron cars track appurtenances and
all other property belonging thereunto together with
the rights and franchises appertaining to the old com-
pany. Tbe sale took place on Tuesday 2d Inst
under the deed of trust executed some time last sum-
mer ; and after some little bidding the whole of this
vast property estimated by hundreds of intelligent
men to be worth fully one hundred millions of dollars
was knocked off to Br. J. 3L -Saunders of Harrison
county for the sum of forty thousand dollars.
Speaking of the road sale and matters connected
therewith our Texas cotemporary jubilates In this
wise and who can blame him 7 "As to the triumpb
ant success of this enterprise with proper manage-
ment no reasonable man can entertain a solitary
doubt;" and that "whatever conflicting opinions
may prevail we (the editors of the Flag) neverthe-
less believe Ihe enterprise to be In a better condition
than it ever was at any former period. It Is now in
fart a Texan enterprise Its abode Is required to be
in Texas the President and thc balance ofpower
la the Bircctor are also required to be In Texas.
The money mongers of Wall street New York no
longer bave the power to control an enterprise
which Is destined to be the great thoroughfare from
ocean to ocean but which. If built at all must be
built by tbe money attained-by the sale or hypotheca-
t on cf Texas lands or that drawn fromher Treasury.
If there be a hundred millions of dollars In the part
of the Southern Pacific Railroad within the limits of
Texas all of which alone depends upon Texas soil
and Texas money for Its construction to whom
should it belong but Texans? Will any one say the
SuancUi Shylocks of New Tort to say nothing of
smaller Intermediate cities?"
We don't object to tbe Flag's denunciation of Wall
street Shylocks sharpers and swindlers. On the
contrary we like It; and the stronger the language
used towards them and some others -we think we
know of. the greater will be our gratification. But

prietors does not VO" Justice require that they

An lnjunctl'-n bad been sued out against the pur-
chasers but as a bond of $500000 was required to
give It force and ai that bond bad not been given up
to tbe latest dales wc opine It will not amount to
much.
We have now given everything material we could
gather rrcm the Flag and wish our Texas friends
much success even If (bat success be founded upon
the losses of our own people.
Tho above is from tbe New Orleans Crescent
of the loth inst. We agree with thc Crescent
that it seems very hard for the New Orleans
subscribers to bo made to lose their money if
as the Crescent says it was contributed from
patriotic motives; and if this can be made to
appear wc will agree wilh the Crescent that
the new company ought to give them stock
to the full amount of tho money they advanced;
and tbis is all tbey will ask provided the Cres.
cent is right in saying that they subscribed
solely from public spirited motives and without
any view to a speculation. The Crescent will
remember that we gave them warning of the
rottenness of tbe whole concern ; but our New
Orleans cotemporaries would not heed us but
all joined in the most cxtravagaht puffs of the
vastness of the great enterprise the exalted
character of the managers and the unbounded
fortunes that the subscribers were going to
make out of it The facts as then officially
published to the world showed a stock indebt-
ness of over forty-Jite millions of dollars the
entire proceeds of which had scarcely served
io grade ten miJt moat of tho proceeds having
been expended in paying agents commissions
print as surveying 4c scarcely any' thing re-
maining to complete the 0 miles required by
ho charter. It was resolved at the first meet-
ing in New Orleans to issue 12 millions of addi-
tional stock in order to raise the means to se-
;uro tbe charter. AYebavenotlearned whether
ill this stock has been disposed of but if any
of it is yet'on hand it has not been for the
rt-anl of puffing to get it off. If the stock pur-
chasers Cad the speculation is "oTer the left"
They will doubtless charge it to our Now Or.
leans cotemporaries. But what did they pay
for thc stock which the Crescent now thinks
the present company should make good to
tbera T Certainly not over ." cents in the dol-
lar for that was all that was asked the other
95 cents being promised as a clear speculation.
The question is whether men who are fool-
ish enocgb to embark their money in such on
unheard of enterprise can be presumed with-
ul proofs to have been actuated by patriotic
and public spirited motives? The -very ques-
ton prima facia is pregnant with a most de-
idtd negative.

In consequence of this unfavorable report the
Southern Steamship Company resolved not to send
the ' Matagorda" to that point and await further
advices before sending any steamer there and the
Jen. Rusk was docked for repairs. Under this con-
dition of affairs I considered my chances for getting
io Brownsville via Santiago rather slim therefore
I resolved to return to Galveston. Acting upon this
resolution I left the princely St. Charles on the

passed through during the last week of my stay In
ihe city. The Morgan has been ont of the trade for
some weeks and during the time was thoroughly
overhauled repainted and made as good as new
igaiu. She now takes the place of thc Mexico which
will be decked repaired and made ready for thc
."all trade. Her popular Purser Mr. Dossat occu-
pies for the present the office of the Morgan.
The time hating arrived the lines were loosened
and theWamcr swung gracefully from the wharf
into the current and with a parting boom from her
loud mouther! canuon we left the Crescent City;
and I can aesure the reader that as far as I was con-
cerned it was without one sigh -of regret that thc
.urn below thc city was made and New Orleans faded
-om cur view. During the winter or gay season in
Sew Orleans she has many attractions for visitors
but those attractions bave all disappeared and one
tj thrown entirely upon his .own resources as far as
pleasure and entertainments are concerned unless
ne Is esilly pleased in which case he can by inveat-
n j four bits witness the performing of tome fifth-
rate actors and actresses al thc Gaiety Theatre but
having no tasto that way my time except when en-
gaged In business lay heavy upon my hands and I
longed to be away and at times I exclaimed "0 for
4 lodge In some vast wilderness O for some bound-
less contiguity of shade where wars" Jtc (such as
they had In New Orleans) could reach me no more.
Tbe current of the "Father of Waters" being rapid
we jlided swiftly down the river the plantations on
either bank preientlng no new features the water
still covering -nearly the whole coast on the right
bank for thirty miles below the city and upon the
leR the waving corn and cane presented the same
rigorous appearance as when I passed up two weeks
before. We arrived at the Baiize and crossed the
bur about 4 o'clock P. M. with a moderate breeze
from the South-west. For five or more miles after
crossing the bar the muddy Mississippi Waters dash-
ed around us when we crossed the line which was
very distinct and entered upon the dark green
briny waters of the Gulf and dashed on towards our
Island City. The trip was a pleasant one the wa-
ter being comparatively smooth the company agree-
able and tbe officers sffsble and accommodating the
monopoly of the steamship business with Texas not
having changed the condition of affairs on board
-heir steamers in the least degree. Our early arrival
j.'. the Baiize gTe us hopes of reaching Galveston
to-night but the South-west breeze retarded the
-peed of the Morgan and it was not until 10 o'clock
that Bolivar light was visible and near 12 o'clock
when we came within ball of the pilotboat when Capt.
Place was informed that there was but9J feet water
on the bar and as thc Morgan Is drawing 10 feet we
will have to lay outside until daylight which infor-
mation la anything but agreeable to me but as there
is no help for it I will close this correspondence and
then endeavor to close my eyes in sleep and thus
pass the time hi oblivion that will Intervene between
now and daylight L. K. P.
J39" The Mails. The Postmaster at Ecleio
Karnes county writes as follows :
Your remarks In regard to Postmasters and their
-angerj-on are not more severe than Just to some
extent. I have been very much disgusted since I
nave been promoted to that honorable station at
lh way the mall matter Is managed here In Texas.
About one-half the time the News Picayune fend
la fact all the Gulf mail together with the mail mat-
er from Galveston for this office take a circuitous
natc tia Gonzales and Seguin to San Antonio
-ct.ee down by Post Oak it to this place making
jtvcral days' delay (frequently) In the time of Its ar-
.ivl. I bave long since reported these facts to the
P. 0. Department yet the evil still continues.

EorrOBS News: I arrived here tbree days ago
after a "through passage" from the Island City. The
crops along the route Ha Richmond and Columbus
look well and if nothing prevents there will be
plenty and to spare. The cotton crop Is fine and
the late rains bave established beyond doubt that a
good crop will be made and the young folks are be-
ginning to rejoice In anticipation of their pa's ability
tc cpen the purse for the frolicing season. Through-
.jtthc "grasshopper district" ahrppy change ap-
ptsrs prospects are bright and there Is no doubt
bjtgcod crops will be made. There have been re-
treshlrig showers here and everything looks fresh
itn J blooming.
At Is the"polItical movements you must. excuse
me from saying anything as you know I am up for
omcc and must keep in position to say "good Lord
or good Devil" but I'll tell a little tale i. e. straws
Indicate war In the camp and Bell is in tbe ascend-
ing scale and must win when such men as A. J. II.
(of course you don't know who I mean) go against
the political hacks who assume tkc power to excom-
municate from party men who think for themselves.

I!i.lcrfrom the Frontier.
Tbe Dallas Herald learns from Mr. Kanney
just from Belknap tho following additional
particulars of Capt. Ford's Indian fight.
It is believed that there were 1900 warriors en-
ga .red In tbe fight. Instead of 500 as heretofore stated.
A large body of the Oamanches followed on Capt.
Ford's trail south of Red River. Capt Ford reached
theiciraty of Belknap on the 20th bringing In 12
"prisoners all women and children and S10 horses
and leaving his men In the camn on the Clear Fork
of Brazos started Immediately for Austin as Is sup
poses to cate uu report lome uovernor.
On Iron Jacket's death his son took his place led
th Indians and was the next man killed ; the 'fight
then became generat The friendly Indians at tbc
commencement of the fight bad white bands round
their heads so as to be distinguished from the hos-
came off when Capts. Ford and Ross fearing that
they mignikiu ineir own Indians withdrew tno Han-
gers and the battle continued between thc friendly
and hostile Indians until the dose the Camanches
retreating. They were not pursued for fear of cn-
c&ngmng tne saieiy of tne property already taken
comprising 815 horses mostly Spanish.
It wa stated by a prisoner taken that Buffalo
ilrmp a noted Camanche Chief was encamped a few
miKfrom the scene of the fight at thc time with a
considerable force well mounted and armed. Tbe
exhausted coLdition of the horses of the Rangers and
friendly Indians was such that it was not thought
prudent to attack him In his stronghold.
But few If any of the Camanches had fire-arms
their weapons being bows and arrows and spears.
This accounts for the small loss In Ford's command.
Ketumseh tbe chief of thc Camanches at the Up-
per Reserve was anxious to go out with Ford's com-
mand offering to lead them to the hostile camp the
locality of which he was well acquainted with but It
was deemed prudent not to take him and his offer
was declined. Thi it b said has since been regret-
ted both by Capts. Ford and Ross and should ano-
ther expedition be gotten up they intend taking him
along.
Fatal Aocidest. The train of wagons with Com-
nilssaries' stores for Ford's command from Austin
Reached the Ranger camp on Clear Fork in the early
partAf last week. When about 10 miles below the
camn. one cf the guard dismounted to shoot a deer
Urlth ili rifle jrhlch was strapped to the born of bis
Jiiddle. Before'hecould disengage It the hone pass-
ell under the limb of a tree which raised the hammer
aaM discharged the contents offhe rifle into tbe unfor-
! unite man's bead killing him jnsi.antly.

In the list of passengers by the Texas we notice

Kinney.
Our accounts represent Mexico In a most deplor-
able condition; A writer says the shooting of Gen.
Mancro and some half a dozen other officers by
Zuazna has caused a feeling of alarm; but ho adds
that this new and summary plan Is the only Way to
put an end to pronunclamenloj and eternal revolu-
tions. He thinks Ihe measure proposed by Gen.
Houston Is the right one and many In Mexico are In
favor of It though they do not dare to say so openly.
The country Is In a state of hopeless anarchy ; and
if we do not take charge of the "sick man" some
other nation must and wilt Our opinion Is and has
long been that some plan like that proposed by Gen.
I!oustont must be adopted sooner or later.
An application has been made by Lafltte i- Co. of
Charleston to Ihe Secretary of State to he permitted
to make a voyage to the coast of Africa to obtain
apprentice? for plantation service In the United
States. Mr. Cobb has written an elaborate reply
denying thc sanction of government to the proposed
measure on the ground that the Importation of such
labor is prohibited by our laws.
The court in New Orleans requires Gen. Walker
and Cot Anderson to give security but they are al-
lowed to file affidavits. The case was not finally dis-
posed of.
Cotton has further declined.
It will be seenthat tbe Mormon war Is at an end.

COMMISSION MERCHANTS & COTTON FACTORS
6G Droad Street A'ew York.
New Yop.r June 5lh 1S58.
Dear Sirs : We had this pleasure on the 29th ult.
at which time our Cotton market was dull at 12Jf c
for middling! since which time wc bave been in re-
ceipt of thc America's mail with advices to the 22d.
from Llverpoot reporting sales for the week of 37000
bales at a slight redaction owing In a great meas-
ure to the heavy recelpts.of the week which were
117000 bales. On the day of her sailing there had
been a reaction and prices were--fully regained.
The stock at Liverpool was 590000 bales against
631000 same pate last year; and weekly consump-
tion 42000. against SS0l)0 last year.
Ou' market has remained in the same dull state as
last reported and we reduce our quotations of mid-
dling to 12c Spinners arc at present holding off in
anticipation or luriher reduction but must soon
come In to renew their stocks when we anticipate a
better trade.
It wiU be observed that the stock In Liverpool Is
91 000 bales less than at the same date last year. But
the amount In the Southern ports and In transit
is much larger. To counteract this however the
deliveries for weekly consumption are 5000 bales per
week larger; and the receipts of Cotton from Brazil
and the East Indies will show a heavy falling off as
compared with last year. So that the actual demand
will be fully able to use up all the stock on hand ;
and future prices will be generally regulated by the
prospects of thc growing crop which though In good
condition does not promise to be over an average.
The damage done on the Mississippi river is very
large.
Trade generally is dull ; transactions being con-
fined to thc actual consumptive demand for all
articles. We do not look for any improvement in its
activity till fall when we anticipate a more specula-
tive demand.
Respectfully yours
