Madame Reinhardt the accomplished can-
tatrice who designs making a concert-tour
through Texas was educated by her lather
j for the profession of Music At the very
i early age of fire years she exhibited consid-
erable talent for tbe piano and could then
j perform many pieces with ease and taste. At
: r j tue ag of seven she had advanced so far as to
try Opera Muic. At ten she first appeared
in pul.lic concert in H&ydin's "Seasons" and
from her debut may be dated the brilliant
career she afterwards earned lor herself. She
was considered a wonderful child for the ease
and skill with which she read ihe most
difficult music which seemed impossible lor
her little hamls. Her musical educuftin was
i not confined to the piano and vocal lessons;
she was taught the violin guitar and the
organ: and fxn learning that nature had
gifted Ler with a marvellously fine voice she
eschewed all others for its perfect cultivation.
ben she was about 17 year old. the cel-
ebrated music Retool at Leipsic was established
j under the auspices of some of the greatest
masters of the age. Mendelsohn liarthoidy.
' whose name alone has filled that old Conserv-
j story at leipsic with glory devoted his best
j energies to its success aided by Mosheles
j Johnmaun Ferdinand Hillcr Gade.and many
I other masters of relebritv. For several irean
Mrs. Reinhart was the pupil of these musical
prodigies and is indebted to them for much of
her rich cultivation and exquisite taste.
Owing to her wonderful attainments she en-
joyed the freedom of the Conservator as
long as she desired to remain and besides this
had permission to give concerts and soirees
within the establishment a privilege that was
extended to but few. She was the especial
favorite of Mendelsohn and Johnmaun. lou-
ring this time she sangoften in the celebrated
'iewandhausen concerts in Leipsic and was
engaged for two winters as the Prima Donna.
I After her honorable discharge from the Con
servatoire she traveled and sang in most of the
great cities of Europe and often before the
crowned heads of her native Germany.
As an evidence of the appreciation in which
she was held at home we give a short extract
from a Critique on her powers in the Consti-
tutionalt Zeitung published at Leipsic. It
says
"Mr-. Reinhardt has given the highest evi-
dence of her talent education and skill. She
was a pupil of the celebrated Mendelsohn
liarthoidy. of the Conservatoire of Leipsic.
She has a fine voice the middle tones of
which are excellent remarkably agreeable
soft yet full and perfect; but from the highest
to the lowest notes within the register ol
her voice there is unmistakable evidence of
the most finished cultivation. Indeed it may
b. said with strict propriety that she posses-
ses a legitimate concert voice."
The editor of the Dallas Herald writes us
that this lady has occupied a high position in
society in that place where she has been resi-
ding for some years. We noticed the fact in
our last and stated that Mr. and Mrs. Rein-
hardt came to our country with the famous
Victor Considerant who made a settlement
near Dallas and brougnt with him a large
number of intelligent emigrants. Mr. Rein-
hardt was one of the unfortunate sufferers by
the conliagratlon at Dallas.

Rights of the State.
Mr. A. Bradshaw of Waxahatchie a very
forcible writer concludes an interesting com-
munication on the powers of the Federal Gov-
ernment with the following :
" In conclusion as I believe the States to
be sovereign and that sovereignty cannot be
alienated. I am necessarily a States-rights
man. And as I am a lover of this Union and
hope that it may last as long as the everlast-
ing mountains of this continent shall stand
not in mntibility and decay but full of life
and youthful vigor. In order to this I am
for respecting the rights of the States and
distributing equally the benefits and burdens
of the L'nion. We have thirty-three sover-
eign States possessing every variety of soil
and climate each one having different inter-
ests and different staple productions and
must necessarily have different legislation in
order to the advancement of the same. This
can only be accomplished but by a strict ob-
servance of the States-rights doctrine. It is
only by an observance of the States-rights
doctrine that this Union can be preserved and
perpetuated until this entire hemisphere shall
be annexed to the United States when there
shall not. bo one square acre left upon which
any king or potentate can set his foot and
call his own and each State revolve around
the General Government as so many stars
around a common centre.

Important Revelation.
Yancey Offered the Douglas Nomination fir
Vice-President but declines.
The Washington correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Gazette telegraphs to that paper un-
der date of the Gth inst. as follows:
A despatch from Richmond dated last
night says 
" O. Jennings Wise addressed a large au-
dience at Metropolitan Hall in this city to-
night in favor of Breckinridge and Lane. He
stated upon the authority of a Virginia dele-
gate who remained in the Douglas Conven-
tion' at Baltimore that Wm. L. Yancey was
tendered the nomination for ths Vice-Preai-dency.
but that he refused to accept stating
that oil and water could not intermix."
Mr. Wise stated that he was aware of the
fact that the Douglas men in Baltimore were
hunting up a Southern protectionist who
would accept the nomination for the Vice-'
Presidency but failed to get any. These
statements took the meeting by surprise.
They will damage the cause of Douglas in
Virginia very materially.
1 am inclined to think there is truth in
Wise's statement. The Douglas men were
very polite to Yancey between the Charles-
ton" and Baltimore Conventions. Mr. Doug-
las sent for him at his house and even- effort
was made to change his position but all to no
He remained immovable ana nence

Sherman Texas Sept. 15th 1860.
Editor State Gazette:
Dear Sir: On Wednesday the 12th inst.
we had a discussion at this place between
Hon. A. T. Rainev Democratic Elector for
this District and "Hon. B. H. Epperson oppo-
sition Elector.
As eood lock or some other presiding gen
ius would have it Col. Rainey's appointment
fell on the same day that Col. Epperson had
appointed to speak here and their meeting
here was not thought of until the day before
the speaking. But they met. and a proud
day it was for the Democracy of Grayson a
day long to be cherished in memory's sacred
page on account of the able overwhelming
and triumphant vindication of their party
and principles by the gifted chivalrous and
! eloquent Rainey.
Our capacious and magnificent Courthouse
was filled with the honest yaomanry of the
country anxiously seeking the trnih and no-
thing but tbe truth.
CoL Rainey led off for about one and a half
hours in one of the happiest efforts I ever
listened to in the State and his stirring elo-
quent and logical appeals carried convection to
every unbiassed mind that the principles of
our party are the only principles upon which
this government can be administered and per-
petuated. He proudly vindicated the great
doctrine of the equality of the States and
the axiomatic truth that every citizen of
every State has sin equal right to take any and
every species of property to the common Ter-
ritories of our country and that it is the
bounden duty of the Federal Government to
protect it there
He dwelt at length on the duty of the Fed-
eral Government to afford this protection
and defied his competitor to take issue with
him upon it or upon any other doctrine con-
tained in our platform; but so forcible and
powerful wero his arguments and such were
the evidences of their effect upon his audience
that Col. B. could not stem the tide and so
dared not attack an article of our creed.
He showed to the satisfaction of all that
Breckinridge and Lane were the true expo-
nents of the time honored principles of our
party maintaining that the equality of the
States and the citizens of the States in the
enjoyment of the rights guarantied by our
Constitution had always been the fundamen-
tal doctrine of the part- ;'equal rights to all
and chartered privileges to none" having
always been its motto.
He held up Douglas and his doctrines to
the manifest detestatiou of all Southern men
and exposed the fallacy of his claims to being
the regular nominea of the party. He
showed that his nomination was sectional his
doctrines were sectional and if carried out
would disfranchise the South of all her rights in
the common Territories of our country.
Bat the most triumphant part of his speech
was his defense of Breckinridge and Lane
against the charge of sectionalism and dis-
union. He proved to the satisfaction of every
sane and reasonable man from the history of
the men from the principles of their plat-
form and from the character of their support-
ers that they were the most national men in
the race for the Presidency.
He alluded with much force to the fact
that the President and all his Cabinet all the
Democratic U. S. Senators but two nearly all
the Democratic members of the lower house
of Congress all the Democratic Governors of
Democratic States whether from the North
or the South and hosts of the noblest names
in the Northern States names which have
long held a place in the great Democratic
heart were now with a zeal they had never
manifested before engaged in the unqualified
support of Breckinridge and Lane.
Nor did Col. R. fail to pay his respects to
Mr. Bell. He read from the record words
that made the opposition tremble. He showed
up his inconsistencies his freesoil proclivities
and the presumption of his party in refusing
the support of Southern men at this critical
juncture when he will not let them know
where he stands on the great paramount issue
of the day.
His associate on the ticket Mr. Everett
came in for hie share of the formidable assaults
of our gallant champion. He proved him to
be an abolitionist and unworthy the counte-
nance of any Southern man much less their
support for the second office in their gift.
Col. Epperson in his reply did not take a
single position in behalf of his party on any
question that is now or ever has been agitated
in the public mind. He ignored the slavery
question entirely tried to make it appear that
Douglas was the man our party ought to sup-
port more than half of his speech being de-
voted to Douglas and the remainder to the
stale cry that Breckinridge and his party were
disuniouists and he denounced some of the
best men of our country as traitors.
Altogether his was the poorest? effort I have
ever heard from a man of his character as a
public speaker.
It is impossible to give you a full account
of the discussion. Suffice it to say that the
Democracy are jubilant at the issue and I
have heard more than one expression of dis-
satisfaction among the opposition.
Wc are for Breckinridge here and are de-
termined to roll up such a majority for our
candidates as will cause the ignorers to dive
down with their Bell into a sea of oblivion
there to dwell with "Sam" and their other
defunct predecessors. Never were the Dem-
ocracy of this region stronger in the faith or
more zealous in the defence of their glorious
principles than at present.

that all parties will act in view of the facts

In his letter to Mr. Quincy. Mr. Everett
states his conviction of the practicability as
well as the advantages of immediate emanci-
pation as proved by the statements contained
in a work written by Messrs Thumas and
Kimball containing an account of their tour
through the British West Indies.
Ratification Sleeting.
Pursuant to previous notice a large number
of States Rights Constitutional Democrats
and others friendly to the nomination of John
C. Breckinridge and Joseph Lane for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United
States met in the Court-house in the town of
Tarrant on the 26th day of August. 1860.
When upon motion of L. E. II. Houghton.
Esq. James H. H. McRee was appointed
Chairman and L. G. Harman Secretary. On
motion a Committee of five was appointed to
report resolutions to the meeting viz: L. G.
Harman. Z. J. Scott. W. ML Payne and J. E.
W. Tomlinson. The Committee "alter retiring
returned into the meeting and through their
Chairman reported the following which were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas We. the Democracy of Hopkins
county and other citizens irrespective of party
in mass meeting assembled feeling deeply and
earnestly impressed with the va.-t danger and
importance of the crisis through which we are
passing as a nation believe that the ticket
which the National Democratic Convention at
Baltimore presented for the suffrage of the
people under the circumstances it was the
strongest that could be made. Both candi-
dates are popular both arc men of decided
abilty ; around both shine the halo of mili-
tary glory; the one isaycung active and
brilliant statesman in the full vigor of his in-
tellect the other a veteran soldier whose
name is a household word in every home in
the great West and whose laurels were
gained not only on the field but in the Sen-
ate and the Executive Chair of a Pacific Ter-
ritory. These men strong in themselves are
the embodiment of what is stronger a great
and undying principle representatives of the
eternal truth while at the same time men
who have a firm grasp on the affections of the
people.
Therefore Resolved That we cordially ap-
prove of the nomination of J. C. Breckin-
ridge for President and Joseph Lane for Vice
President of the United States and heartily
commend them to the confidence and support
of every one desirous of the preservation of
our Union under the Constitution and a just
vindication and maintenance of Southern
Rights under that instrument.
Resolved That we commend the Platform
of Principles proposed at Charleston and
adopted at Baltimore known as the 'Majority
Platform" as a faithful exposition both of the
time honored principles of the Democracy and
the Constitution of our Union.

From the Liberator of Nov. 8 edited by W. L. Garruon.
Edward Everett. The Governor of this
Commonwealth answered unequivocally in
the affirmative to the questions Mr. Bor-
den's whether he is in favor of the immedi-
ate abolition of slavery in the District of Co-
lumbia and the slave trade between the sev-
eral States. Edward Everett now speaks the
language of a patriot a republican and a Chris-
tian. We believe it is the real language of
his soul. When a few years since he took
the opposite ground he did violence to his
own convictions of right and committed a
grievous error. We are disposed to obliterate
all that has gone before and commend him
for his honorable course. To refer invidiously
to what he said when public sentiment was
deeply corrupt would be UDgenerous; to
charge him with being insincere at the pres-
ent time would be unjust: to accuse him of
seeking popularity would be equally uncha-
ritable. It is not yet a popular thing for the
chief magistrate of this Commonwealth to
avow himself in favor of emancipation ; and
until he shall prove recreant to his present
professions it is to be taken for granted that
he means just what he says. In our opinion
he ought to receive the undivided support of
the anti-slavery voters of this Commonwealth;
nay they have pledged to give him their sup-
port inasmuch as he has declared himself
to be in favor of their principles and of their
measures.
In the same paper an anti-slavery ticket is
proposed headed by Edward Everett for Gov-
ernor. From the Free American Boston 1641.
Edward Everett The suspense about
Mr. Everett's nomination has really excited
quite a hurricane in the Northern press.
They are even sstonishB 8ft8faern arro-
gance and impOdenop. 'flttijs ciCering for
it shows that they Lave a little manly feeling
left. Presses that are dumb to the nutter-
able cruelties daily perpetrated against the
slave are aroused to pious indignation at the
idea that slave-holders should assume a cen-
sorship over Northern opinions. But accord-
ing to their old servility they are forswear-
ing Mr. Everett's abolitionism I They say be
is not an abolitionist at all or not bo in any
" odious sense of tbe term." In this they be-
tray utter ignorance or consummate mean-
ness. If Edward Everett is not to all intents
and purposes as much an abolitionist as Ger-
ritt Smith or Arthur Tappan he is a hypo-
crite. He was once an anti-abolitionist but
the proofs of his conversion are unequivocal
and on record and we hope for tbe credit of

Discussion between Epperson and Rainey
Rainey Triumphs Observations on the
U ay Crops Coni T Wheal Exodns of
Suspicious Characters.
Clarksville Texas Sept. 19 I860.
Major John Marshall:
According to my promise before I left my
home in Austin I proceed to inform you of
such matters of interest as have fallen under
my notice during my somewhat extended tour
to this extreme portion of the State.
The most note-worthy event politically
has occurred here to-day viz : the discussion
by previous appointment of the political is-
sues of the day by the champions of the two
opposing organizations Col. A. T. Rainey and
B. F. Epperson candidates respectively for
Elector on the Democratic and Opposition
tickets of the State.
A large audience being present Col. Epper-
son led off in a long speech the burthen of
which was. to try to prove 1st that W. L.
Yancey was a disunionist ; 2nd that W. L.
Yancey led and controlled the Democratic
party ; and that by a logical sequence the
Democratic party was a disunion party.
These sophisms were most successfully com-
batted and relentlessly demolished by Mr.
Rainey whose pointed reasoning and power-
ful eloquence were received by the assembled
sovereigns with the most unmistakable and
frequently boisterous manifestations of ap-
proval and delight. If there is a stronghold
of the Opposition to Breckinridge and Lane
in the State this point is probably its centre;
and any one witnessing with candor the tone
of the people as called forth in expression by
the orators of the occasion can have no hesi-
tancy in expressing the conviction that even
here the Constitutional L'nion candidates
Breckinridge and Lane will receive an over-
whelming majority. Mr. Rainey is eminently
adapted to his position and the party is for-
tunate in the selection.
In regard to the general prosperity of the
State I may say that in a route of four hun-
dred miles from-Austin through Bel ton "Wa-
co Corsicana Canton Quitman Tarrant
and Mount Pleasant to this place I find the
prospect by no means so gloomy as many per-
sons have been led to believe. In the prairie
sections the dependence of the people is loss
on the produce of cultivation than the increase
of stock. The latter is in as fine a condition as
can be imagined ; while the former is suffi-
cient for the necessities of the population
with a small surplus in most neighborhoods.
In the timbered sections the supply of corn
is larger while the cotton which takes the place
of the stock of the prairies is almost a fail-
ure except on Red River and some other
valley lands where in many instances 1000
pounds per acre have been made about half
a crop as the planters say.
In all sections over which I have passed
corn where planted early on well prepared
ground and properly cultivated has produced
from twenty to forty bushels an acre. I am
told that further south it is more discourag-
ing. Corn is here offered at 1 per bushel
and generally in all the counties mentioned
at frem $1 to SI 50. Mast is abundant ev-
erywhere and grass in the greatest profu-
sion. Many persons are leaving the State profess
edly on account of scarcity ; but it is safe to
say that the State will be" largely more bene-
fitted than injured by the exodus as by it
she will be relieved of the incubus of a hither-
to considerable class who have lived by ether
means than honest labor or the development
of any of the resources of our most bountiful
country. It is to be hoped they never will

The demand for this unrivalled Preparation is be-
yond the possibility of a doubt and its sale la becoming
as large an that of an other article now before the
public. Tens of thousands of porsous who were suf-
ferers are now seen daily walking the streets of all the
principal cities of the Union and by their influence
spreading the fame of "Dr. Broxson's Blood Food"
throughout the civilized world. But the trial of one
bottle is more convincing tlinn ail we eouU say in a
whole newspaper column. It gives life health and
beauty to the sick ftnd restores as if by maeic those
who were supposed to be irrecoverably lost. We need
only say try it.
Wo would also call the attention of Mothers to Dr
Eaiox's IxrisTtLE Cordial. This is said to be supe-
rior to any ai tide of the kind now known. If your
anxious hearts are pained by witnessing the sutleriiiu'S
of your little ones lose no time In procuring a bottle.
It is an invaluable specinc for infants teething soften-
ing their gums and allaying all fever and irritation.
By all means get the Cordial relieve the latleiinga of
your children and enjoy unbroken vour own repose.
