nWe regret exceedingly that we were
unable to join the pleasure excursion to Clear
Creeki on the Steamer Tennessee yesterday.
"We hear that the party had a delightful time
finding at the creek plenty of shade and green
sward and a cool refreshing breeze during
the entire day. We are pleased to announce
that another excursion of the same sort will
take place shortly of which doe notice will bo
given.

55" We have had the pleasure of a call
from IL AT. Kinser Esq. who is on a brief visit
to our city. Mr. Kinsey was formerly the edi-
tor of the "Bedlander" in lS4i-5 and was one
of the most able advocates of the measure of
annexation when that was the all-absorbing
question throughout Texas. Mr. K. has been
for years past one or the prominent members
of the Bar of San Augustine. He is direct
from Tyler to this city and informs us that the
Supreme Court was expected to adjourn this
week.

Ijcpobtaxt Decision-. We learn from the
Telegraph that Judge Gray has lately decided
in the suit of George A. Ferris YS. the B B
B.iCK. E. Company that where private
property has been taken by a Railway Com-
pany for its own uses the injured party is not
required to pursue any other remedy for the
recovery of damages than the ordinary course
of a suit at law.
Soru Lace. We learn that the accommoda-
tions at this remarkable lake hare beenTery
much enlarged and otherwise improved prepar-
atory to the reception of visitors this summer.
We have been promised a more complete anal-
ysis of the water than has ever bofore been
given and expect soon to be able to have an
authentic statement of the cures that have been
effected. We have never yet visited the Lake
ourselves but have had an opportunity to test
the value of the water as a beverage for we
have been using it during the past two month's
as it is here constantly kept for sale by Mr.
Strothcr and it is coming into pretty general
use. "We have found it slightly aperient in
its qualities and is a corrective of indigestion
and dispepsia in all its forms ; and we have
never heard of a man who uses it complaining
of a want of appetite. This is the extent of
our experience and all who have used it in the
same way as far as we have been able to learn
have experienced the same salutary effects.
Dr. Richardson who resides most of his time
at the Lake and under whose direction tbe
water is put up and sent abroad informs us
that for drinking purposes it is just as good
when sent to Galveston Jfew Orlearns or else-
where as when used at the Lake and will keep
any length of time without apparent deteriora-
tion. In fact when kept exposed to tbe air it
gradually becomes more acid and to some
more palatable though the Doctor thinks its
medicinal properties are not thereby changed.
Of course those who desire to hare its full ben-
efits by bathing must visit the Lake where
baths are prepared for them.

Houston. The Telegraph of the 11th says
that it has heard that Messrs. Kyle A Terry
whose plantation is on Oyster Creek will make
over 100 bushels of corn to the acre; and that
a bet was offered a day or two since of $500
that one hundred acres could be selected in a
bodylhat.would average 120 bushels.
The Telegraph is in favor of Judge Reagan
for U. S. Senator to succeed the late General
Henderson.
The Telegraph learns that Cyrus Jones and
a man named McCormick had had a personal
difficulty at Round Top which resulted in the
death of Jones. McCormick then mounted a
horse and fled. A warrant having been issued
he was pursued and being come up to and re-
fusing to stop two shots were fired to bring
him to and then a third intended to disable
his horse took effect on McCormick and killed
bim instantly.
Dr. Hale was to give his first lecture in Hous-
ton on Monday night.
Tbe Telegraph states that the cotton market
there is dull and drooping. The Central Boad
continues to do a heavy business in freights

Soctitfrx Pacific Railboad. An election
of nineteen directors of this company took
place in New Orleans on Tuesday last and at
a suosequent meeting these directors elected
Dr. J. Fowlles President. The new directory
is aaid to be composed of men calculated to in-
spire confidence and whose efforts will be di-
rected to retrieving the disastrous condition of
the company. It seems to be a desperate effort
of the old Jiic per cent vnipaid vj stockhold
era to make good their speculation. A sale of
the franchise was made under the late deed of
trust executed by President Yergsr but the
Picayune Kays the Jndge declared the sale ille-
gal and issued an induction forbidding the pur-
chasers taking possession. The assets of the
company are said to be ample to satisfy every
creditor. In order to satisfy the Texas law
the office of the company has been established
at Marshall and the new officers started on the
Bth inst with the books of the company en
route for that place. The new directors prom-
ise to make a full report soon.
EgT""ew countries sometimes present strange
anomalies in the difference between the intrin-
sic value of land and its market price.
For instance cotton lands on the Mediter-
ranean Sea range in price np to $450 per acre
and need both manure and irrigation to pro-
duce the crop. Lands similarly situated on
Galveston and San Jacinto Bays in Texas
equally convenient to navigation in the heart
of the cotton region and well adapted to the
production both of long and short staple cot-
ton range at from $5 to $10 per acre. Yet
why are not these cotton lands intrinsically as
valuable as those on the 3Iediterranian r Why
are they not more so as they are unexhausted
by cultivation and need neither manure nor
irrigation ?
Again The Mississippi and Trinity Rivers
run parallel through the cotton region furnish-
ing similar outlets for navigation and passing
through lands almost identical in character
and fertility. Cotton plantations on the Mis-
sissippi subject to overflow reclaimed and pre
served by enormous expenses in levying and
still occasionally as this year bringing min on
their proprietors are valued at $50 per acre.
Similar lands-on the Trinity above overflow
and needing no expense in reclaiming or pro-
tecting them range about $15 per acre in im-
proved plantations and at from $3 to $5 per
acre unimproved.
Thesejseem to be exceptions to the general
rule that prices like water always find their
leveL

J35The present Secretary of War Mr.
Floyd has been impeached for an attempt to
swindle the Government to the amount of some
$500000 as is shewn by the following resolu-
tionsj'assed by tbe House Committee. Fort
Snelling with its improvements and 6000 acres
of land would have sold at open sale for 400-
O00. It is said the sale was not only made
contrary to' the law but was made clandes-
tinely the Secretary with some two or three
others being the purchasers at only $90000.
The following are the resolutions adopted by
the committee of investigation ;
Jluolzed 1. That the sale of tbe military post of
Fort txiclOng and so much of Uc reservation attached
to It at was necessary for military purposes made
on the ICtii day of Jane 165' uailer the authority of
the Secretary of War the same being then and xoir
retained under the authority of the department be-
came necessary for military purposes was without
authority or lair.
2. That said sale was made by the Secretary of
WarnotvrtiriStandlng his knowledge of the official
opinions of Ids predecessor the Hon. Jefferson
Saris and other officers in superior military com-
mand to the contrary without consulting with with-
out the advice and without the knowledge of any
oEeer in rant leaving the question of retention of
that post to the discretion of the commissioners ap-
pointed to matte the sale and that this action on the
part of the Secretary of War was a grave official
ltub.
Justice requires that this matter should be
thoroughly investigated by Congress; bnt we
fear that unless the session be prolonged it will
be permitted to pass in silence.
Dscbt IS PksxstlvaSIA. The Governor of Penn-
sylvania has approved & recent act of the Legislature
which removes the penalty heretofore attached to all
transactions in which a higher rate than 0 per cent
per annum is taken. Lenders and borrowers may
now contract at any rate of Interest they please the
law UUng no cognizance of any higher rate how-
ever than C per cent and will lend no aid to collect
back any greater rate paid nnless the suit for the
.recovery of the same is brought within six months
from the time of the transaction.
We cannot doubt but this measure of Penn-
sylvania by which men are permitted to make
their own contracts in money transaction as in
other things according as they may find it for
their interest will be followed by the other
States of this Union. The time will soon come
when it will be a matter of astonishment that
enlightened nations have so long adhered to a
i nStom of the dark ages.

Under the head of a proposed cotton com-
press in Houston the editor gives us the follow
ing interesting article.
We promised on Friday to show that a cotton com
press in Houston would more man pay mr iiseu
twice over in a year and we will now fulfil the pro-
mise. We know but little of the first cost of a first rate
compress but presume that 25000 would cover It
There are 00000 bales of cotton passing through
Houston this year and this too after a short crop
and during a good season for river navigation In
which tens of thousands of bales that would ordinari-
ly have come here have sought the seaboard of the
rivers. This year the prospect is for a glorious crop
and we cannot look for less than 75000 bales at
Houston next season. This cotton if compressed
here would be put on ship board the vessel lying
eitherintho stream or in the road-stead at a total
cost of the bare freight and nothing more and that
need not be over 30 cents per bale. The saving then
to the Houston shipper would be to each bale as fol-
lows: Freight now CO cents 20

andwehaveatotalof ft IT
Thus it will be seen that every bale of cotton that
-passes through Houston pays to one or another of
the Industrial classes at the islanu "no less than one
dollar and seventeen cents for which it receives no
earthly benefit being simply passed from hand to
hand without approachlngits destination at all. The
75000 hales to be shipped next year will cost in this
idle way no less than $S7750 which with a compress
here might be saved and the profits divided between
the jirodncer and the merchant. It now comes out of
the profits of either or both of them very directly.
It is a good maxim in commerce that the shorter
the route irom tne pTocucer w me consumer me inci-
ter for both. If these little windings and short turns
in the road can be cut ofi; it will be the better for
everybody who does not live at and by them.
lint again the matter of compressing" cotton is
about SO cents per bale more or less according as
freights are higher or lower than the average stand-
ard. This on 75000 bales amounts to $22500 wldch
added to the $S77W) thrown away as above gives
$100250 which might be applied to the support of a
compress fh Houston If necessary. We have proved
more than we undertook to but we defy anybody to
disprove the point now arrived at.
But it is objected that cotton compressed here will
be liable to burst its ropes before it can be got on
shipboard. We don't believe a word of it and for
this reason. Cotton is now compressed In Galves-
ton and put In lighten and taken outside of the bar
and transferred to the hold of the vessel requiring
from one to two days after leaving the compress be-
fore it is finally stowed. So also at Mobile it is con-
stantly loaded eighteen miles from the compress. It
n eed be no longer being taken from Houston than it
Is at cither of these places.
But another thine to be considered is. that a com
press here at once makes a shipping market in our
midst The buyer can afford to pay just the same
price here that he docs in Galveston and conse-
quently the cotton intended for the North and Europe
win all be sold here for shipment. This will make
Irasiness for still other classes of torn who are ilwars J
employed about a market aucung not less man f iz-
000 to $15000 more to the income of the city each
year.
We do think this is a matter which should gain the
immediate attention of our merchants and we trust
they will be prepared by another season to save this
little extravagance of eighty-seven thousand dollars
besides adding some thirty five thousand to the in-
come of our citizens. It may appear a small matter
to some but these eighty thousand dollar licks will
tell on the prosperity of a city of this site with an
appreciable effect.
Who shall take the matter in hand f
"We think the above arguments are not only
sound in themselves but clearly and forcibly
presented. There may possibly be some error
in the figures of charges which may vary the
sum total of the amount proposed 4o be taken
from Galveston merchants and presses and
given to those of Houston but that cannot af-
fect the correctness of the reasoning by which
it is proposed to make Houston a direct ship-
ping point so that the produce of the country
may be exported without scarcely touching at
Galveston. The Telegraph in former years
often alluded to the same policy of making
Houston an export and import city and leav-
ing little or nothing for Galveston to do. The
results aimed at by our Houston cotemporary
must of course be ruinous to this city but
when an argument is sound in itself we must
admit its conclusions however unpalatable
they may be. The editor says very truly: "It
is a good maxim in commerce that the shorter
the route from the producer to the consumer
the better for both. If these little windings
nnd short turns in the road can be cut off it
will be better for everybody that does not live
at and by them.
This is certainly a very important truth and
we have never seen it stated in terms more
forcible. It is of the utmost importance that
it should be well understood and acted upon
by the great planting interest of this country.
It is the farmers and planters of Texas who
have to pay all these extra charges attending
a trans-shipment of their crops through two
ports instead of one and through the hands of
two sets of merchants paying two commis-
sions two drayages two warehousing charges
and two wharfages instead of one. This
double tax falls entirely on the great agricul-
tural interests of the country and we agree
with our cotemporary that it is unreasonable
and unjust and ought to be avoided and we
cannot doubt that it will be avoided and that
too by a process much more effectual than
building a compress in Houston. As the great
object of our Houston cotemporary appears
to be to save charges to our planters and en-
able them to get their crops to market by the
most direct the quickest and shortest way we
would suggest to him whether thatobject would
not be better attained by allowing the planters'
crop of cotton when it has arrived by the cars
in Houston to pass directly along on the rail-
road to Galveston rather than to be stopped in
Houston and there have to pay commissions
drayage storage && and then have tone re-
shipped by steamers to Galveston. Of course
our Houston neighbor will at once condemn
this circuitous route which taxes the planter
with so many additional charges and so much
additional loss of time; for as he says "it is
a good maxim in commerce jtbat the shorter
the route from the producer to the consumer
the better for both. If these little windings
nnd short turns in the road can be cut off it
will be the better for everybody that does not
live at and by them." It is very plain from
this self-evident reasoning that no one can un-
derstand better than our Houston neighbor
the great saving it will be to the planter to
have his cotton proceed directly on to Galves-
ton without leaving the railroad thereby
"shortening the route from the producer to the
consumer" and "cutting off the little wind-
ings and short turns" that it now has to take
hy stopping at Houston. We would ask our
neighbor to answer candidly if he does not
think this would be carrying out his great
maxim in commerce much better than by
building a compress in Houston? He will
doubtless answer in the affirmative for he
cannot do otherwise if he answers at all; but he
may say very truly that the road to Houston is
not yet completed and that therefore owing
to our want of energy and enterprise in Gal-
veston the cotton is still compelled to take
those "little windings and short turn'" by
being stopped in Houston to the heavy addi-
tional cost of the planter. This is all very
true and it is by no means creditable to us in
Galveston that it is so. We have permitted
the most important franchise ever granted by
the State to pass into the hands of and be
controlled by strangers and have therefore.
for years been compelled to wait the result of
their operations about which we can know very
little. It may be that this long period of pro-
crastination is nearly at an end as we have
been assured of late that decisive action is
soon to commence. But as long ns this road
continues to be neglected it must be admitted
that the people of Houston will not only be
justified but entitled to credit for any meas-
ures they may take whether by building com-
presses or otherwise to cut off "the little wind-
ings and short turns" in the course of our
trade even though Galveston may thereby be
jiade to suffer. But we feel it our duty to fol-
low sound and correct principles and the true
interests of the country wherever they may
lead. The Telegraph seems to assume that the
time has arrived when Galveston and Houston
can no longer be auxiliary to each other's pros-
perity for the reason that to compel the trade
cither exports or imports to pass through both
places is in effect subjecting that trade to an
unnecessary trans-shipment and a double tax
which has to come out of the pockets of the
people of Texas thus imposing on them not
only heary burthens in the diminished net
proceeds of their crops but also in the in-
creased cost of all they hare to buy and sub-
jecting them also to many unnecessary delays
and other annoyances. All this may be so
and indeed the reasoning looks plausible;
and therefore our neighbor suggests the idea
tnot now for the first time) of making Hous-
ton a direct shipping point to the exclusion of
this place. It is howercr possible that if our
trade has to be confined to one place to the en-
tiro exclusion of the other the planters will
decide the question for themselves and they
may come to the conclusion that they will save
more "littlo windings and short turns" by
sending their cotton to Galreston direct with-
out stopping at Houston to give employment to
the proposed compress and pay the charges
that may be necessary to keep open the Bayou
and make an artificial port when they can
reach one already made at less expense and
without loss of time. '

From Santa Fe. The latest accounts from
Santa Fc say that a party of armed Mexicans
from Mesilla made a sudden attack upon the
Apache camp near Fort Thorn on the 17th
ult butchering men women and children in-

Hocstos. We clip the following from the
Crockett Printer of the 2d. j
Mr. Beasly of our county had Ji cotton bloom upon
the 87th ulL in his field. The Stalk at the time of
blooming was three feet high. (Mr. B. says that the
20th of June has been the earliest bloom in his ex-
perience of 29 years cotton planjUng This therefore
wouia maicaie a neary crop; ior me sLaiK wiu Dear
until frost kills It hence the earlier the bloom and
picking the more cotton. There is a novelty this
year in Mr. Beasley's field; the the stalks of last
year have sprouted and are now full of forms more
vigorous and look better than the new crop. Ail the
old stalks not cut up present a nourishing appear-
ance. It is rare if ever that the same cotton stalk
will bear two years in succession. This however may
be attributed to the mildness of the last winter.
SnEKuxx The Independent learns that the
wheat crops in Sherman county are tremen-
dous and it is thought that it will not bring
more than 25 cents per bushel.
Navareo. The Pioneer learns that quite a
revival has taken place among the Baptists at
Corsicana. Cooper convicted of the murder'
of Fortson has professed religion and been
baptised.
Cass. The Gazette of the 29th ult states
that a small house on the plantation of Mrs.
Annie Clark about six miles North of Jeffer-
son was destroyed by fire about ten days be
fore. Her jewelry and diamonds valued at
over $3000 were destroyed.
Fanxin. The slave woman charged with
throwing into a well the son of Mr. Daniels of
Bonham a short time since has been tried and
acquitted for want of evidence sufficient to con-
vict her though the Independent says no one
doubts her guilt.
Rest The Beacon relates a curious case of
shooting in that neighborhood lately. A wag-
oner passing along the road was giving his
son some 6 or 8 years of age a lesson in pistol
shooting. The pistol was hard to get off and
when it did go the contents were by accident
lodged in the back of a companion of the father.
The boy said it was curious the pistol went off at
all for he " pulled the trigger powerful easy.'
Corn here is fine; wheat looking better than
was anticipated; cotton small having suffered
frpm wet weather and oats badly injured by
the rust. The Beacon thinks that October and
November are the best and safest months for
putting in oats.
Tarrant. Tbe Assessor of Tarrant fur-
nishes the following statistics.
Total population 4323; number of qualified
electors 828. Land in cultivation; acres in
wheat S30S; in corn G670; in miscellaneous
1453; total acres in cultivation 1G.431. The
average yield of wheat to -the acre is set down
at about 12 1-2 Bushels.
Williamson-. The Intelligencer learns from
a correspondent the following statement of
crops received from the Assessor of this coun-
ty. Acres in in wheat 10278; in corn 10903 ;
sundries 983; and in cotton 120S.
Rust has not done much harm. Supposing
the yield of corn to be 35 and of wheat 15
bushels to the acre we have 331780 bushels of
corn and 134170 bushels of wheat to which
may be added 1000 bales of cotton for Wil-
liamson alone.
The Sentinel says that Mr. Glasscock of
Austin intends to send some of his William-
son county flour to New Orleans.
Calhoiw. The Pioneer of the 5th informs
us that the amount of stock so far taken in the
Indianola Railroad is $31000. ?1C00 were
subscribed by a gentleman from Brazoria coun-
ty on Saturday morning.
The work on the two light houses in the bay
the one on the Half-moon Reef and the other
at Alligator Head are progressing satisfac-
torily. The Courier thinks that if something is not
done speedily they will be badly of for ice this
seaon.
Wagons are loading for Seguine at 62 1-2
cents per 100 lbs
Travis. The Sentinel says that in Western
Texas more can be made to the acre and with
less labor than in any other Southern State.
A strong assertion and we doubt not a true
one.
The Intelligencer of the 4th furnishes the
following items:
A cavallado of Spanish stock was brought
into town during the early part of this week
and the animals sold at ruinousjy low prices
good mores changing hands at from eleven to
fifteen dollars per head.
A large drove of sheep numbering 1200
passed through Austin on the 3d; destination
unknown. They were purchased in Mexico it
is said at a dollar a head. '
The session of the District .and Federal
Courts were to commence in Austin on Mon-
day last. The Docket in the District Court
was unusually full.
The Gazette says that the pupils at the Deaf
and Dumb Asylum are making substantial ad-
vances in their studies. There are now 5 girls
and 11 boys andyoungincn.
The Gazette lately witnessed a drove of 3400
sheep passed through Austin accompanied by
several Mexican families to attend to them.
Destination near the Falls of the Brazos.
Bell The Independent of the Cth gives us
the following information :
Final arrangcmettsJfiS-e been entered into
for building the Belton Court House.
Dr. Moore passed through Belton lately with
CoOO sheep from the Rio Grande and bound
for Jack and Palo Pinto counties.
The Grand Jury have found but 8 true bills
1 for horse stealing; 1 for assault and bat-
tery with intent to kill and C for minor of-
fences. The Independent is informed by a gentleman
of experience in the matter that barley is one
of the best small gram crops which can be cul-
tivated in that section of country particularly
as provender for horses. It is easily grown
and will ripen and be ready for harvesting
long before any of the calamities which befall
other small grain crops can effect it.
Wnu Henry Scmnions has been acquitted.
The young men of Belton and vicinity are
about to establish a lycenm.
397 horses and mules had passed through
during the veek ending on the Cfh.
Polk. The Telegraph gives the following
items about a recent hubbub in Pofk county.
Some time since a horse belonging to a Mr.
Gibony of Grimes county was stolen taken
over to Polk and sold to the Sheriff of that coun-
ty. G. traced the horse and laid claim. Sheriff
refused to give him up. G. attempted to law
it no one would serve the writ. G. Then took
the animal and left for Tyler county lost his
way waspursued by theSheriff and his friends
overtaken and arrested as a horse thief. The
crowd excited threatened to hang him on the
spot were prevented chained him and put
him in jail. His friends learned this and bail-
ed him out; and now a party of 30 of them
well armed and some of the first citizens of
Grimes county are on the way to get that
horse.
Liberty. The Gazette of the 7th says that
the Sheriff had committed to jail on the pre-
vious Thursday a negro man who says his
name is Simon also says he belongs to John
Andersonj a planter on the Brazos.
The Gazette rather approves of the prevail-
ingiashions for ladies' dress Ac. thinks the
ladies are privileged to wear what they please
provided they don't take the grape vines for
hoops.
Cotton and corn are looking well. The sugar
crop of which there is but little planted prom-
ises well and will yield about 70 hogsheads.
Walker. The Item states that 58057 yards
of cloth worth 8095 18 were manufactured
at the Penitentiary ' during the past month.
Also that it finds by visit and inspection that
everything looks neat and clean work is pro-
gressing finely and all the convicts appear to
be well satisfied
Sax Saba. A correspondent of the Journal
in a letter dated 27th relates that the Indians
had lately stolen quite a number of horses and
mnlesin that vicinity. Also that the grass-
hoppers had passed over without doing any in-
jury. The wheat and corn crops were very
line.
Lavaca. The Assessor of Lavaca county
furnishes the following statistics. The total
population of the county is 7.87J and includes
842 Electors 1089 between the ages of C and
IS 1490 slavesi-0 free persons of color 1 in-
sane no idiots no blind no deaf and dumb.
We find planted in corn 10014 acres in cot-
ton 934G Jn wheat 472 acres and other mis-
cellaneous productions making the total in cul-

Eds. News : 1 do not think that the press of New-
York has treated the proceedings of one of the asso-
ciations which fiave just held their anniversaries
here with the consideration to which Its damnable
objects entitle it I allude to the Woman's Itlghls
Association which has at length unbloshlngly pro-
claimed its purpose to be the breaking up or aboli-
tion of tho Institution of marriage. Among the
speakers at the Woman's KIghts Convention was
Stephen Pearl Andrews whom your readers will rec-
ollect as the chief of the celebrated Free Love Club
of this city which was broken up by the authorities
two or three years ago. Andrews took the bold po-
sition before the Convention that the principal right
for which woman should contend is " the right to
choose the father of each successive child?' lie also
maintained that "woman cau never be Integrally de-
veloped until law custom and public opinion con-
cede to her the right to variety in tho lovo relations
to any extent to which her taste and capacity may
impel her" and further that " It Is 'the duty of wo-
man to experiment as to the best mode or siring and
generating the forthcoming population;" and these
sentiments uttered before a crowded and elegantly-
dressed audience in a fashionable ball In the year
of our Lord 1S53 were applauded more heartily than
any other part of tho proceedings and most enfAu-
Hatttcalty Vy well-dressed lady-lilt-loohing wo-
men. What Is going to be the upshot of all this ?
Cannot such doings be put a stop to in someway
without violating the fundamental principles upon
which our free Institutions are based I Or are we to
become a nation of sensualists 1
The growth of the antl slavery sentiment during
these last fifteen years from an obscure movement
insignificant lu numbers up to a strong power in the
land ought to warn us agalost looking with con-
tempt upon or endeavoring to laugh down any
movement which is backed by talent and enthusiasm.
Nor should we be unmindful of the fact that Mor
monism which only yesterday as It were sprung
Into existence has under the able management of
talented knaves or deluded but able fanatics assum-
ed sucli proportions as to make It necessary for the
U. S. Government to treat it as a power not to be
trifled with.
To determine the probabilities of the success of
any movement whether In a right or wrong direc-
tion all that Is necessary Is to investigate the qualifi-
cations of the leaders' of that movement ; and If we
apply this test to the Womans nights movement
which has just added the "free love plank" to Its
platform we will find good ground for alarm if steps
be not speedily taken to stifle the Infant monster be-
fore it attains maturity and capacity for evil which
will bid defiance to the lovers of good morals ; for it
is an Indisputable fact that this movement is backed
by .more brains pluck energy devotion and fanati-
cism than any social heresy which has preceded It-
Stephen Pearl Andrews whose peculiar quiet activi-
ty in the dlsse'ninallon of these anarchial doctrines
is more cuectlre perhaps In sapping the foundation
of public morals than the labors of any six of the
best speakers and writers of tlds devilish school is
unequaled in the variety of his scholarly attainments
by any man in America; and that fact coupled with
the no less important ones that his appearance is un-
exceptionable and that his manners are those of a
well-bred gentleman gives him the entree to scientif-
ic literary and fashionable circles Into which with
more than Jesuitical zeal he seizes every opportuni-
ty to introduce his damnable doctrines. More than
one clergyman of New York and not your free a -id
easy Unitarian or Universalis! but regular orthodox
parsons are among the warm personal friends of
Andrews and already go the length of endorsing the
theory of " free love" In conversation with the breth-
ren and sisters. Of course I know nothing of the
practice of these reverend gentlemen.
Seriously Is It not high time that steps should be
taken of some kind but of whatever kind sufficient
for the end to crush out this polluting social heresy
before It gets too strong a hold on the perverted in
tellects and tastes of a dangerously large number of
persons ?
Mayor Tiemann's late crusade against tho lottery
establishment of Swan i Co. of Angusta Oeorgia
is creating a good deal of excitement in political cir-
cles. It is well understood here to be an effort to
Injure Ex-Mayor Wood through his brother Benja-
min who is one of the proprietors of that celebrated
Georgia lottery. The facts of the case are as fol-
lows: Benjamin Wood is perhaps the ablest politician In
New York his brother Fernando not even excepted.
As a financier also he is immense. Everything lie
touches turns to gold. Mr. Vood got his firtt start
in the world In a business the morality of which is
now questioned and which 1 do not undertake to
defend the lottery business. But it is due to Mr.
Wood to state that the lottery of.Swan i Co of
which he Is a leading partner la 03 legally constitut-
ed a concern as the laws cf Georgia can make it
Now it has been well understood here for some
time that Benjamin Wood sated with wealth and in
search of a new sensation has determined to run for
Congress and that his political aspirations are any-
thing but savory in the nostrils of Dan. Sickles tbe
present representative from Wood's Congressional
district for the sufficient reason that he the said
Ban is inspired with a laudable ambition to serve
his country for another term. Sickles who is a
smart man in a small way conceived a short time
ago the brilliant idea of kicking up a general row
about Swan L Co's lottery. lie knew very well that
he could not injure it materially but he thought that
he might divert Wood's attention from politics for a
time and thns be be left in undisputed possession of
the chances of the next nomination for Congress.
Sickles easily induced Mayor Tiemann to place him-
self at the head of the conspirators ; he (f ieinonn)
being the deadly and undisguised enemy of Fernan-
do Wood who he knows is sure to iead the Demo-
cratic party in this city at the very next turn of the
wheel of local politics and whom nothing but a di-
vided Tote of the democracy can keep from being our
next Mayor. If therefore thought Tiemann Ben.
Wood can be crippled pecuniarily there will be so
much the less money brought to bear on Fernando
Wood's nomination and election. Tho foregoing Is
an exact statement of the political motives which
prompted the crusade from New York against the
Augusta lottery. But to furnish the sinews of war
these political moralists called in a thirf party the
proprietors of a large rival lottery concern upon
whose "drawings" most of the policy playing in
New York is based. Is'ntthat rich? These rival
lottery men now see hon ever that they have been
made the cats paws of politicians and that they have
spent their good hard dollars to no purpose except
to advertise thoroughly the establishment they
endeavored to Injure which Is said to be now doing
a brisker business than ever. The whole affair Is
well understood in New York to be a bubllme farce.
The swill-milk excitement still continues; but I do
not think that any permanent good will grow out of
it although Heaven knows there Is need enough of
reform in that direction and of many other sanitary
reforms in this God-forsaken city. Of 402 deaths
which took place last week 225 were those of milk-
drinkers small children. That tells the whole story.
Waco. June Cth 1850.
Eds. News. In my last lctterrgaveyoaarather
hasty and Imperfect sketch of a general "muss"
that had been "brewing" for some days past and
that was not quite yet ended. I now resume the
subject not that I am fond of gossiping or retailing
disturbances neither do I write of It because it is
palatable to a vitiated public taste for the 'orid or
scandalous but for the simple reason that the truth
or the evidence elicited on trial may go forth as it
transpired "nothing extenuating nor aught set down
In malice." Already we hear from nearly every J
direction perverted accounts of what has happened
in and about Waco. Out of this "Bosque School dif-
ficulty" there have been made at least fifty persons
"bite the dust" that Is If newspaper1 paragraphs and
flying reports are to be believed. Now the truth Is
no one has been killed or murdered. The whole affair
belongs not to Waco but to Bosqueville a thick
settlement about five miles and a half from this place.
There are no Wacoes engaged In it excepting about
five gentlemen of the "green bag" j)ro and con
who are deeply read In the "knotty law"
"In which they once get you embrangled.
The more you stir the more you're tangled."
The truth of which hudibraslic our Bosque friends
will understand before they are out on't. On Friday
morning at ten o'clock Esquire Crodup opened his
court for inquiry Into the shooting at Or. Howe on
the Tuesday previous. The three persons that I
mentioned before as coming to town armed and
equipped to wit : Messrs. Green Collier and Phillips
were brought Into Court charged by said Dr. Rowe
with being accessory to the shooting. The trial went
on in a "regular way" until it was discovered that
Kuykendall's name was Matthew and not Joseph as
written in the affidavit. Kuykendall is the chap that
did the shooting. All the parlies being present in
Court Mr. Coke the leading connsel for the prosecu-
tion asked leave to write out a new affidavit Mrs.
Rowe the principal witness being present which was
granted and a new trial was had immediately.
After a session of two days during which time a
great number of witnesses were examined and a
verypatlenthearingof the cause was had the Court
at last came to the conclusion that there was suffi-
cient evidence adduced to warrant the court in bind-
ing over the parties to appear at the next terra of the
District Court for McLennan county. On the night
before the trial (Friday) Dr. Howe vamoosed for
parts unknown; why he left "this deponent tilth
not" but my impression is that he felt unsafe ; how-
ever It might have been caused from some (Jo me
unknown) apprehensions on his part I am inform-
ed that Rowe will be prosecuted for perjury In swear-
ing out his affidavit Hlnst Hawk Sparks and that
Mrs. Howe will be prosecuted on the charge of per-
jury also. This may be the clue to Dr. Uowe's
leaving.
This is a very unfortunate affair taken altogether.
It has been the cause of stirring up the basest pas-
sions of our nature and disturbing the peace and
quietude of a once happy and prosperous community.
The neighborhood in which the Bosque Schools were
situated was looked upon par excellence as the
model settlement in the county. Good feeling and
brotherly love reigned supreme but this Rowcaffair
has destroyed for a tlrao at least the harmony that
once characteriied tho locality. The attempt at
assassination was very unfortunate for the Bosque-
ites ; many persons were unwilling to believe that
such men as are now arraigned would be guilty of a
participation In such a dastardly proceeding. It Is
true they are not convicted of participating in the
shooting and I sincerely hope that they may prove
themselves clear of it but some persons have been
prejudiced against them from what has already tran-
spired and consequently public opinion by a con-
stant agitation of the subject will have been fore-
stalled by the time the trial comes before the District
Court at Its next sitting. There is no doubt of one
thing however and that is the gentlemen accused
by Rowe as being accessory have heretofore borne
the best of characters and Rowe has not Dr; Rowe
was unpopular in the extreme but his wife was unex
ceptionable in every respect The trial above men-
tioned was conducted by able lawyers on both sides;
and each fide evinced much feeling In the conduct of
the case more than I think Is necessary when an im-
portant case is up for hearing and tho ends of justice
arc Bought to be attained. I don't see anything to bo
gained by applying epithets and instituting harsh
simllies. It will not keep down ill feeling.
"In argument
Simllies are like songs In love:
They much describe ; they nothing prove."

Enirons News : My last letter posted the readers
of the News up to Sunday morning last and I will
now as briefly as the subject will admit of give them
a history of affairs In this city as they have trans-
pired Trom that time to the present. Sunday was a
bright' warm day and the streets leading to the
camps of the Vlglltnts and Americans were filled
with moving masses who had turned out to see what
was to'bc seen but the excitement had to a consld-'
erable extent died away and In every part of the
city I visited except In the vicinity of the opposing
camps quiet reigned. The religiously inclined turned
out In respectable numbers to their respective
churches and one unacquainted with tho true con-
ditioner the city v ould hardly have suspected that
anything but peace and harmony prevailed through
out thb whole city. About 10 o'clock It was ascer
tained that a tragic scene had been enacted at the
camp of the Yigil&nts by which some half dozen of
their members bad been sent to their last account
The rollowlng are the particulars I have gathered :
A party of the Vlgilants had left the camp on Satur-
day night for the purpose or reconoiterlng In the
neighborhood and after wandering about to thelr
satlsfiction were returning to their camp by St. Pe-
ter's street Instead of Orleans street as they had
been instructed. A few minutes before their return
some persons had approached near enough to the
Vigilant camp to fire upon tho guard who conse-
quently were apprehensive of an attack from the en-
emy 'and as the patrolling party of VIgilinta an-
proached the camp the guard let fly a cannon load
of grapeshotattbem which killed four and wounded
quite a number all of whom wero foreigners. In
the evfulng considerable excitement was created by
the arrival of a company of fifty-two U. S. troops
from Uaton Rouge as It was Bnpposed they had
cither come down for the purpose of assisting the
Vlgilants or the American or law and order party
as they had styled themselves be; it proved to be a
company that had been sent for by Collector Hatch
to protect the Mint and Customhouse during the ex-
citement and they were divided and stationed at. tbe
two daces and allowed neither party to come near
either of these buildings.
Col. Forno chief of the Police had left the city
(as was alleged In despair of being able to effect any
good with the regular Police but as he afterwards
states in a card lor tne purpose oi visiting his sick
family) and CoL Jaquess had been appointed chief
by acting Mayor Summers. A proclamation had
been issued calling on the city police to assemble at
the city Hall for the purpose of entering upon thelr
dutles as usual. At 5 o'clock they assembled and
were instructed by Col. Jaquess to take their caps
and clubs and under their respective Lieutenants
resume their beats throughout the city which order
was obeyed and the click of their clubs upon the
pavement was heard as usual..
At night the two camps were guarded as usual
except that more order and discipline appeared to
exist at Camp Lafayette under the rule of Mayor
Summers. A shot was npvc and then heard in differ
ent parts of the city butmost of them were prob-
ablyjjlank ones' otherwise tho city was unusually
qutct Monday morning found no change in the
aspect of affairs with the two parties. ThepoDswere
opened at 8 o'clock and the voting went off quietly.
The Vlgilants visited the polls In squads but they
were not molested as shey anticipated and the vot-
ing on both sides was apparently done free from the
influence of thugs and bullies. At night the returns
showed that Stlth the American candidate was elect-
ed by a small majority and then the rejoicing of his
friends commenced and the firing of cannon on
Lafayette square and the loud cheering soon made
the fact known throughout the city that the Ameri-
cans were victorious and the Vlgilants as good as
vanquished.
Tuesday morning upon visiting the Vlgilants'
camp It was found deserted. The success of the op-
position had shown them the Inutility of any further
attempt to carry out their alleged designs and the
abandonment of tbe arsenal and their quarters was
determined on almost unanimously. The cannons
still loaded with grape and balls were left in the po-
sitions they had occupied commanding the streets
leading to the square while arms were found scatter
ed all about the quarters occupied. The pavement
was In many places covered with blood ; the carpet
of the Cth district court room was in places saturated
with human gore and that too from the veins of
their own men and the effluvia arising from the putri-
mction was highly offensive. All the rooms occupied
by the Vlgilants were round in a very filthy condi-
tion. The Coroner states that from the first forming
or the Committee he has held 'eleven Inquests upon
the bodies of MgUants slain within their own camp.
The barricades were left In the condldon they had
been and the sixty bales of cotton were taken pos-
session of by the Street Comaussloner and placed In
public pound and I learn It has been attached to sat-
isfy a bill for damage done to the district courtrooms
records &c
In the cells of the lock-up were found two men who
had been arrested hy the Vlgilants. They were set at
liberty; one of them had had his hands tied behind
him for three da) s a rather uncomfortable situation
but he was in momentary fear of a worse fate. But
what has became of the committee? may we!l be ask-
ed. As far as I can ascertain the following are the
facts relative to their disposition: a body of about
200 left their quarters about 4 o'clock Tuesday morn-
ng under the command of Capt. Duncan and took
up their line of march down the levee to the Barracks
below the city where they were told that their ser-
vices were no longer required and that they were to
leave their arms and each go his own way ; that as
they were privates they would not be molested but
thos it was necessary for the leaders to seek safety
either by flight or by remaining at the Barracks.
The men (most of whom were foreigners) finding
themselves deserted by the leaders wished for their
arms with which to protect themselves but they were
told that they would be better without them. Some
skulked home others went to the swamp while others
went down the river or crossed it near all seeking to
fly from the wrath they expected was awaiting them
on their return to the city.
Many of the most prominent members of the Com-
mittee found that bmincs required their immediate
presence up river or at the North and I understand
the up river boats took off "a largo cumber of them.
Affidavits T learn have been made against the lead-
ers of the Vlgilants and warrants Issued for thler ar-
rest but they will doubtless be hard to find. Some
dozen or more of the Vlgilants have been arrested
and required to give bonds for their appearence at
Court which failirg to do they werelocked up. But
few however will be arrested I think as proper
affidavits cannot be made and the whole affair will I
am Inclined to think soon be overlooked by the city
authorities. Their own feelings as they review their
acts of the past week should be sufficient punishment
and the lesson they have been taught will not soon
be forgotten. As I have stated In a former letter no
city needs a Vigilance Committee wherewith to purge
itself of Its outlaws more than New Orleans but tho
Committee should be made up of very different ele-
ments than the one that has just disbanded la such
deep disgrace '
It should be made up of solid men whose charac-
ters are above reproach men whose interest is whol-
ly united with the welfare of the city Americans
not in politics alone but Americans true to the best
interests of their country and the welfare of their
city. When such a Committee is formed and It is
seen that their object is to rid the city of both Ameri-
can and foreign cut-throats and assassins instead of
a political one they will find no opposition except
from the guilty ones themselves. As you will see by
the city papers a majority of the American candi-
dates bave been elected and it Is generally thought
that those who will have the handling of tho rains of
government for the next year will keep them tightly
drawn and do all in their power to check the head-
long course of crime and corruption that has so long
existed here.
All has been comparative quiet since Monday; the
police attend to their beats as usual and about the
same amount of crime Is committed nightly as before
the outbreak. The streets In the. vicinity of Jackson
Square have been re-paved the cannon in Lafayette
Square have been hauled off to the armories and the
Square is once more the play-ground of the children
of the neighborhood whosa voices sound much nore
pleasant than the brawllngs of armed rabbles and
and the roar of wicked-looking cannon.

it works most admirably. It will gin with

P& In our lost Tri-Weekly we published tha
letter of Mr. Edward Everett explanatory of
his signature to the Sumner memorial so in-
sulting to the South. Hr. Everett saya he put
his name to the memorial without reading it
and that upon reading it the next day be
found it was such a paper as he would not
have endorsed bad he read it at first and that
he wrote to Sumner himtelf and others to that
effect But upon carefully reading Mr. Ever-
ett's letter through we are unavoidably forced
to the conclusion that his objection to the Sum-
ner memorial was not based on the political
sentiments avowed in it but-tbat he only ob;
jected to the insulting personalities in it and
his objection to these was chiefly for tha rea-
son that he believed they were calculated to
provoke resentment in the South without ac-
complishing any good. Mr. Eveiett says he
"fully concurred in the main line of argument
in Mr. Sumner's speech" but that he "could
not bestow his "unqualified approbation" (ss
slated m the memorial on tbe manner in which
be treated the subject or intentionally give bis
sanction to the violent and offensive language
of the subscription paper" 4c. The coushwton
therefore is that Mr. Everett classes himself
among tho political enemies of the South and
that be concurs with Simmer Seward and
Other abolition n hostility to our instltu-
D" out cannot give hi3 "unqualified appro-
bation" to the use of such abusive epithets as
are found in Sumner's speech.
