Crops In Texas.
Texas papers of the 14th instuut, say
that abundant rains had fallen in por
tions of the State, and the reports from
the planting districts were generally very
encouraging. Cotton is reported to be
recovering from thelatc backward spring,
and promises n fair yield.

Boy Drowned.
From the Bainbridge Argus, we learn
that a little boy about ten years old, the
son of Archibald S. Curry, of Decatur
oounty, Ga., was drowned on the 13th
inst., in a mill-pond about eight miles
from Bainbridge, while bathing.

Death of a Good Man.
Rev. Osborn Rogers, a venerable Min

eminently pious nnd good man, died a
short time since at his residence near Ox
ford, Ga. After a long and useful ser
vice in the Church, he rests from his la
bors and is renping the reward for his
works.
Population of California.
According to a calculation based upon
the returns of the local Assessors, the
population of Californio amounts to 507,-

A New Novel by a Georgian.
Mr. H. I). Norrcll has in press, and
will issue in a couple of weeks, anew ro
mance entitled “Ethel Somers; or I'lie
Fate of the Union.” The work was writ
ten by a citizen of Augusta, Ga., and
from the extracts from it, which we have
seen, we doubt not it will be a highly in
teresting and entertaining work. It pur
ports to be a defence of our “peculiar in
stitution,” introducing incidents in South
ern life under the garb of fiction, and
•‘draped in the colors of romance,” “only
to lure the reader” to investigate the sub
ject. We hope the work will have a good
sale, not only because we think it will be
worthy of perusal, but for the purpose o£
patronizing Southern literature. It will
be gotten up in neat style, in a volume of
about 400 pages, 12 mo., and bound in
cloth, and sent anywhere by mail for
$1.26. Address H. D. Norrel, Augusta,
Georgia.
Courtesies of Debate.
Gen. Harris nnd Col. Hatton, the op
posing candidates for Governor ot Ten
nessee, had a regular set-to at, Fayette
ville, in that State, a short time since,
during apolitical discussion, in which, it
is said, Gen. Harris came out second best.
After the fight had ended Col. Hatton
proceeded with his spceclt ns though
nothing had happened.
I*l dogs delight to bark and bite,
And pitch into each other too;
Let bears and Hone growl and light.
As they will sometimes do;
But candidates should never let
Suck angry passions rise,
lor that is not the way to pull
Tho wool o’er people's ejea.
We read somewhere once, that before
any one aspired to govern others, they
should first learn to govern themselves.
The Columbus Sun this moruing advo
cates a road beginning at Opelika nnd
ending at Talladega. Our citizens, we
presume, can have, nt a glance, a very
fair idea of the effect of either road upon
the business of Montgomery. We would
say to them, that the sooner arrange
ments arc made for a road from this
place to North Alabama, the better it
will be for real estate in Montg mery.
Either Talladega or Montevallo will do—
but one or the other, and that quick !
About fifty gentlemen of means are al
ready pledged to take $5,000 of stock,
each, in a road to the former. This sub
scription cau be easily doubled, as we
learn. —Montgomery Mail of Thursday.
Our suggestion seems to have created
quite an excitement with our Montgome
ry cotemporary. We are not much alarm
ed however, as just such talk as that has
been fashionable in that quarter for at
least Bix years. We will state for the
relief of our neighbor that we have no
idea of going to work before sometime
next year. We should not have spoken
about the matter so early, but to divert
attention from another route that had
been suggested, the building of which
could be of very little practical benefit to
our city ; whilst we consider the one we
suggested, would be of more real value to
Columbus than all the roads uow running
into it. Build your road to Montevallo,
gentlemen; you should have done so be
fore this time. It will not at all conflict
with our road to Talladega. I)o not be
jealous, neighbor.
Texas Flour.
A sack of new Texas flour was receiv
ed at Galveston, on the 14th, forwarded
from Brazoria, the first fruits of the sea
son, and the forerunner, says the Herald
of millions to follow. Each mile of rail
road, continues the Herald, brings us
nearer the region where the staff of life
flourishes. The Houston Central road is
now turning up towards the when* region,
and the Galveston. Houston an< Hender
son road, which is progressing most en
couragingly, when it reaches its eastern
terminus, will be sufficiently near the
wheat growers to bring us Hour several
weeks earlier than this. Instead, then,
of importing flour, for which a large por
tion of our cotton crop is required to
pay, we will be exporting it, and adding
very materially to the wealth of the
country.

The Sickness in Tuskegee.
We publish in another column, from
the Tuskegee Republican, of Thursday,
an account of the sickness iu that place,
which we feel satisfied, approximates as
near as can be ascertained, to the correct
state of facts. How different the course
of the Republican from that of its neigh
bor, the Baptist. A reader of the Baptist,
unacquainted with the lacts, would natu
rally conclude that “ Baptist College
was a town, instead of Tts being a mere
school in Tuskegee, a town of about 2500
inhabitants. The editor of the Baptist is a
minister of that church, who, judging from
bis conduct, looks upon outsiders ns mere
brutes ; whilst the editor of the Uepubli
can shows himself possessed of ft heart
imbued with a proper quota of Christian
charity, and is capable of appreciating
the courtesy due to public intelligence,
which naturally enough prompts geutlc
meu to conceal nothing having the sem
blance of truth: and when the patrons ol
the Baptist College read it, they will be
irresistibly driven to tho conclusion that
the Trustees of that institution, hacked
by the Baptist paper, attach more irupor
lance to the pomp and display ot tlicir
July exhibition, than to the health and
life of their daughters. These gentlemen
will find that truth may be smothered for
a while, but wo to the actors, when the
fraud is detected, and the motives which
prompted it are appreciated. We leave
the gentlemen to meditate over these sug
gestions, and to the kind consideration of
their very confiding patrons. It they are
satisfied, we have no right to complain.
There is one point in the attack made
on us by the Baptist, which we did not
notice yesterday. The inference is at
tempted to be given out that we are pro
bably a member of the Methodist Church,
and from instinct —weighing us in their
own scales—-are trying to injure the Bap
tist College, for the benefit of that of the
Methodist. This is all a mistake; we
are not a professing Christian, and do not
belong to any Church. If our partialities
extend to any particular sect, we have
yet to discover it. All our near relatives
are Baptists, and if we have attended one
Church more than another, our prefer
ence has been given to that church. We
have no prejudices to gratify as between
the schools at Tuskegee : the head of the
Methodist, is known to us personally, and
our slight intercourse established for him,
iu our estimation, a character, the very
model of a gentleman. The lieaTT of the
Baptist College, we know only from repu
tation; against him we know nothing.
Both, we feel sure, are competent to he
useful to their trusts, and to give char
acter to the institutions over which they
respectively preside. Our desire for their
prosperity, is that we entertain for the
success of all educational institutions;
it knows no bounds. Wo do not consider
that the prosperity of one depends on the
downfall of the other. Indeed our ob
servation teaches us the very reverse.
Such we have found to be the clnnishness
of religious denominations, that the put
ting up a school by one sect is sure to
grow up another by an opposing sect,
and the fight between the two begets
prosperity to both.
The Sonora Massacre.
Letters to the New Orleans Picayune
from the City of Mexico mention that our
Minister to that Republic, Mr. Forsyth,
has already opened a correspondence
with the Mexican authorities in relation
to the inhuman massacre of Col. Crabbc
and his followers at Sonora a short time
since. The Picayune commends the
course of Mr. Forsyth, and very justly
rflmarks that it was not a subject for
indifference or delay, waiting instruc
tions from Washington, before inquiry
into the grounds upon which the bloody
deed was perpetrated. There will be,
we are sure, no lack of manly spirit or
American feeling on the part of Mr. For
syth, and we hope he will be backed up
by the Administration in demanding the
most rigid accountability for the coward
ly act. It strikes us, if there ever was a
case that demanded’ diplomatic confer
ence this is one, and we know of no man
better calculated than Mr. Forsyth to
preserve the honor of his nation and ne
gotiate a fair and honorable settlement
of the matter. The fact that Americans
by birth, who laid gone with peaceable
intentions into a foreign State by invita
tion, for the purpose of settling and be
coming citizens thereof, being thus bru
tally and cowardly murdered, requires
ample explanations, and a more success
ful defence than we can conceive of, to
relieve it from the odium of wanton in
humanity, or to protect the perpetrators
from the just resentment of an outraged
and insulted people. We are perfectly
aware that it is tlie right of governments
to deal in a summary manner with either
private or public invaders of their soil,
when they are clearly convicted of levy
ing war lroin abroad, or creating civil ,
war with a view to tlie overthrow of the
government or of the seizure of its terri- !
tory, but public justice demands that
before they should be thus summarily
dealt with the matter should be fully in
vestigated in order to justify their execu
tion in the eyes of the world, and espe
cially ot that Government whose citizens
are seized and executed. They must be
shown and proved to lie guilty of the
crime for which their blood is shed, be
fore their government loses the right to
demand tin account of their lives, and
reparation for wrongs done to the inno
cent. Neither the Mexican Government
nor any other Government, should be
allowed to shed American blood, without
establishing their right to inflict execu
tion, and showing good cause for their
severity ; nor will they escape reproach
for barbarism, if they carry their acts,
against proved offence, into barbarous
and brutal excesses.
The South American “rule of action”
is never to do anything that can be avoid
ed, and when it becomes absolutely nec
essary to do anything they always put it
off till the next day.
Mount Vernon Purchase.
The Charleston Courier has been com
missioned by “The .Southern Matron,” to
make an earnest appeal to the Mayors of
cities and towns, and to the editorial fra
ternity throughout the Union, to coraeup
promptly and efficiently to her help, in
the great and patriotic work which she
has undertaken—the purchase and con
secration of Mount Vernon, as the per
petual shrine of Washington, and the
Mecca of America.
it is but the fitting homage to his illus
trious shade; to the greatness und good
ness of his character ; to the private and
public virtue of which lie was the model;
to his laurels ns a warrior and his wis
dom as a sage; to his fatherhood of our
country! Let then every one feel, ack
nowledge and redeem the filial duty of
contributing his mite to the great and
glorious enterprise of hallowing the tomb
of Washington, as a public trust, in the
guardian custody of A irginla, for the
reverence of all America, and the hom
age of all the world, in all time to come.
The purpose of “The Southern Ma
tron,” and the patriotic daughters of
America, of whom she is the presiding
and inspiring divinity, is to raise the sum
of two hundred thousand dollars by vol
untary subscription, previous to the 22d
day of February next, for the purchase
of Mount Vernon from its present pro
prietor, and its dedication, on that hal
lowed birth day, as the perpetual shrine
of greatness, patriotism and worth. More
than one-eighth of the required sum has
been„alrcady raised, by the eloquence of
the gifted Everett, a son of Massachu
setts, worthy of the Old Bay State, in
that day when Bunker Hill and the Pal
metto Fort gave forth responsive thun
ders against the common foe, and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the
great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, the
people, are alive to the subject, and great
and concentrated efforts are being made
to push the noble work to an early com
pletion. We hope to sec our citizens take
the initiary step towards raising a Mount
Vernon Fund in Columbus, which will do
credit to the liberality and patriotism of
our people. We would suggest the call
ing of a meeting at an early day, by our
worthy Mayor, that some united and au
thoritative action may be had, and Com
mittees appointed to take up subscrip
tions for the purpose of ensuring the
Mount Vernon purchase. The Courier,
in behalf of “The Southern Matron,” pro
poses that the coming Fourth of July be
“dedicated, consecrated and rendered
memorable forever, by taking up Mount
Vernon subscriptions in every portion of
the Republic.” In this suggestion we
heartily unite, and hope our patriotic and
worthy Mayor may call a meeting of the
citizens with that view.
Sickness in Tuskegee.
We have not heretofore thought it ne
cessary to say anything about the sick
ness which has prevailed to some extent
during the present year, but as the mat
ter is getting into the papers in the neigh
boring towns, and as it appears to be
somewhat misunderstood, we feel dispos
ed to say a word to set it right. There
has been considerable sickness during
the present Spring, and we believe there
is some yet, but whether any present ca
ses arc likely to terminate fatally, we do
not know. Altogether, we understand
there have been 89 deaths within the cor
porate limits of the town, including seve
ral old chronic cases of disease, and ex
cluding several near the place, but out
side the corporation. Os these deaths we
understand that 5 were pupils of the
Methodist College, which institution has
been closed and the girls sent home. We
do not know whether there lias been any
sickness in the Baptist College, but there
is none there now, there lias been no
deaths there, but one pupil of that Col
lege bus died, and it is going on regular
ly as usual.
We learn from the physicians that there
have been between 500 and 1,000 cases
of measles, and from diarrhea succeeding
measles, and including all other cases of
disease, there have been, as we have al
ready stated, 39 deaths in Tuskegee,
which contains a population of nearly 2,-
500.
These are the facts in the case, as we
have learned them. We draw no infer
ences, but leave everybody to. judge for
himself who is interested in the health of
the place. True, 39 deaths thus far in a
season is n good deal of mortality for our
town, but it is because we are usually so
healthy that sickness is almost unknown
amongst us.
Every week hereafter we shall publish
a list of the deaths that occur in town,
until health is entirely restored, that per
sons abroad may know the facts, and not
be led astray by idle rumors. —Tuskegee

A Charter ol’ Murders.
A St. Petersburg letter in the Czar, of
Cracow, gives the following extraordinary
story:
, “A tragical drama has just taken place
here. The agent of Count Sell , who
had been to tlie bank to receive a sum
of 15,000 silver roubles, lost the packet
of notes on his way home. The money
was picked up by a clerk, who, instead
J of giving the property at once to the own*
; er, followed him to his house aud inquir
• ed the name of tlie person who lived
there. The finder of the money then re
turned home, hesitating in his own mind
1 how he should act. When he arrived
! there, a violent quarrel took place be-
S tween him and his wife, the latter wish
ing to keep tlie money. The clerk, how
ever, on the following morning, went to
the house of the count to deliver tlie sum,
but the latter would not receive it, saying
that his agent had committed suicide in
tlie night in consequence of the loss.
Overcome with remorse, the clerk return
ed home, where he found that during his
absence his wife had hanged herself from
vexation at not having kept the money,
lie immediately cut down the body and
hanged himself with tlie snnie rope.”

For the Daily Sun.
Columbus and Her Rail Roads.
Messrs. Editors: Several articles hav
ing appeared in your valuable organ, on
the subject of Columbus and her Rail
Roads, I ask permission to suggest some
hints on the same subject.
I shall not attempt to reply to the va
rious articles that havoreeCutly appeared
in the public prints of the city. 1 shall
take it for granted that the general pros
perity of Columbus is the desire of all
iier citizens. That being true; the only
difference, then, that can honestly and
is relative to the measures
and policy best calculated to promote her
interest. On this subject, it is to be ex
pected there will be diversity of opinion ;
such diversity is to be seen in all the
transactions of life, and all who have had
many years experience and observation
will be able to remember many fine spun
theories and systems, that to the eye and
ear appeared feasible enough, but in
their practical operations have proved
failures, and sometimes disastrous to those
engaged in them.
I would first call attention to tlie pres
ent indebtedness of Columbus for rail
road purposes. Her bonds issued in
favor of the Mobile and Girard Rail Road
Company amount to $300,000. Those
in favor of the Montgomery and West
Point Rail Road Company amount to
$50,000. The annual interest upon these
bonds amounts to $24,500. The present
is the first year that the interest has be
come due and payable upon all the bonds,
although on some of them the interest
has been paid semi-annually since Janua
ry, 1854. The bonds first payable are to
become due on the first of January, 1862.
Then $25,000 of the principal is to be
paid. The last of said bonds are to be
come due January, 1877 ; so that through
all that term of time $25,000 per annum
of principal, in addition to the interest,
will be required to be paid. This is for
the Mobile and Girard bonds alone. The
$50,000 to the Opelika Branch will be in
addition to this, and will become due
within the time above specified. City
taxes are quite high enough now ; if so,
what must the consequence be when the
principal has to be paid as well as the
interest?
It being a fixed fact that the city has
issued her bonds—whether prudently or
not is not now the question—the interest
and the principal must be paid, and the
tax payers will have it to do ; and when
paid what will they have for it? I may
be told the city in her corporate capacity
will own the stock in the rail roads for
which her bonds were issued—perhaps
not. Is it not much more probable that
under the burden of heavy taxation ex
pedients will be resorted to, and from
time to time, or all at one time, the stock
will be thrown upon the market and pass
into other hands for one-half, one-third,
or some other fractional part of its nom
inal value. Iu the meantime the interest
and- the principal too, of the bonds, will
have been paid by the tax payers of the
city, and the stock will be owned by those
who may compose the rail road com
panies.
As I consider there can be no prosperi
ty of any city, town or country, that is
worth the name, unless the inhabitants
thereof are also prosperous—in other
words, the prosperity of the people is the
prosperity of the place—and as heavy
taxation, without an equivalent, is unfa
vorable to prosperity, the question comes
up with all its force, How is the city to
be relieved from her indebtedness with
the least injury and the least injustice to
her citizens ?
The best method, and that which I
would prefer above all others, would be
for the rail road companies to take the
stock owned by the city, and relieve her
(the city) from the payment of her bonds
and interest. To induce the rail road
companies to do this I would be willing
to give them the benefit of all the inter
est that has been paid, and that the city
also pay the next July and January in
stalments of interest, which in the aggre
gate would be nearly SBO,OOO, and with
the right of way, depot, &c., would be
equaj to at least SIOO,OOO donated by the
city to rail roads in Alabama; and if the
rail road companies should be willing to
acceed to such an arrangement, in good
faith, I have no doubt but the city would
pay two or three more installments of
interest. If, however, the rail road com
panies should decline or be unable to
acceed to so favorable a proposal, let the
citizens of Columbus take the stock and
pay the bonds. The assessed value of
the real estate of the city is upwards of
$2,800,000. Allowing for contingencies,
put the value at $2,400,000. Twelve and
a half per cent, on that sum will make
$300,000, which is the amount of the
Mobile and Girard Rail Road bonds.
A man owning a little house and lot
worth $1,600, let him take two shares of
stock ; his property will be good security
for the payment of the interest, and he
can have tho same length of time (if he
desires it) in which to moke his pay
ments that the city has for the payment
of interest and the redemption of the
bonds. And when he is done paying, he
will have his two shares of stock—be it
worth much or little. It will certainly
be worth something, and he will only
have paid about the same amount he
would have had to pay under the present
system of taxation; and in the latter
case, nothing to show for what he had
paid. The same principle applies to all
cases, whether of greater or less value.
As to a connection of the several rail
i roads, I regard it as a matter of minor
| importance, to be settled by those inter
j ested. The stockholders will consult
their own interest in the matter, and if
the rail road companies should take the
stock owned by the city, they (the stock
holders) should have the privilege of
settling the question upon terms to be
agreed on by them nnd the city authori
-1 ties. And if the citizens take the stock
they will represent the city as well as the
rail roads; alid in that event the city
t will have a better guaranty for the pro
| tection of her interest.
My own opinion is, that a connection
, will be unfavorable to the commerce of
| the city, as far as it may effect it at all.
That, however, is a question upon which
honest men differ. There is one thing
: about connection that is certain, it will
! cost a considerable sum to accomplish it,
which, at present, could be more profita
bly expended for other purposes.
COLUMBUS.
Mississippi Women.
A few days since, while a negro man
was engaged in excavating a sandbank
near Meadville. Miss., the quick earth
gave way and covered the poor fellow so
| deeply that it was impossible to extricate
himself. A couple of young ladies on
horseback, shortly after passing by,
found him in this dangerous situation.
Without hesitation they at once alighted,
applied themselves diligently to the
shovel, and shortly after had the satis
faction of having relieved the poor negro
from a living death. Such arc Missis
| sippi women.
Warlike Preparations in Cuba.
The Havana correspondent of the N.
O. Picayune, writes as follows, under
date 9th June:
Warlike preparations are still going on
here, and everything is being made rea
dy to receive, lodge and fully equip the
exjiected reinforcements. Orders have
been given to the army baker to prepare
three months extra rations for 10,000
men, nnd the work progresses rapidly, as
the bakers are kept at it night and day.
The men employed in the arsenal and na
vy yard are also busily occupied in the
preparation and packiug of the material.
Passing by the Customhouse the other
morning, my attention was called to an
unusual crowd of pensioned and retired
officers. On inquiring the cause I was
informed that they had been to enroll
themselves on the list of volunteers for
Mexico, provided the Government should
stand in need of the services of officers,
either to command the regiments remain
ing here as part of the garrison, or to
join the expedition, Though the policy
expressed in my last may be considered
suicidal on the part of Spain, yet I feel,
more and more convinced of its truth ev
ery day, and that my prediction will be
fully verified before three months have
elapsed, unless some untoward event
should thwart the policy now laid down.
The Spanish statesmen are as ignorant
of our power as if we had no political ex
istence. They openly proclaim that the
abolition question has proved to the world
our complete national weakness, and that
the North would never consent to a war
with Spain for the purpose of extending
our slave dominion, and that there would
be no risk in Spain using coercive mea
sures against Mexico to carry out her Eu
ropean ideas. If you should receive the
Spanish paper “la America,” published
at Madrid, you will find several elaborate
articles that will throw a great deal of
light on the subject. I make no doubt
that Diario de la Marina will make a
public denial of these facts stated in my
last, and attribute it to the same fertile
imagination that invented the battle of
“Najasa” of Cuban notoriety. Still I
repeat the same, and only feel sprry that
my informant will not allow me to men
tion names, so as to convince you that a
great European scheme is about to be
thrust on the Mexican people, whether
they wish it or not.
Crawford, the Sculptor.
The following is an extract from a pri
vate letter, dated at London, May 29:
“I have little to tell you this week, as
the new treatment which Crawford is un
dergoing progresses slowly. The infil
tration, and, I believe, the eye-ball itself,
must come away before the doctor can get
at the actual tumor, and then comes the
all important point—can that tumor be
removed ? Dr. Fell lias never said posi
tively that it can, because he knew not
liow far the brain might be involved ; but
one thing he certainly has done—he has
arrested the progress of the disease.—
Since he commenced his applications,
Crawford has had none of the distressing
nausea, or any tendency to the fearful
paralysis, which were the former accom
paniments of this disease. And this leads
to the hope that the brain is still free.—
Already a portion of the diseased part
has been removed.”
