COLUMBWS, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER S, i
Texas.
A correspondent of the Journal r r
. , *u f- ■ Commerce
estimates that, by the census o r m
, . . . , w . j S6O, Texas will
be found to havo a popuis* * ’
” .... p .aon closely approxmaa
.mg 006 million, same authority we are
informed that le of that flourishing com
monwee 1 with extensive projects of
Vernal improvement, and that within a very few
years, the facilities for transportation and inter
. course will be possessed by her in an equal degree
with many of her older sisters. She has caught,
too, a full share of that spirit which, more than
any other, is destined to distinguish American civ
ilization, in the latter half of the nineteenth centu
ry, from all the civilizations which have risen and
flourished in the ages which are passed that oi
providing instruction for the masses. She has
laid “the foundation for a State 1 niversity on
a large scale. She lias, already, three denomina
tional colleges in flourishing operation, and her
fund of public instruction is nearly adequate to
paying the tuition of every poor child in the State.
We rejoice in these flattering indications of her
future prosperity. With an extensive Gull coast
—with rivers and railroads running thence into
the interior of the country, affording appropriate
means of exit for her productions to the markets of
the world,—with an immense area of soil of inex
haustible fertility, which, in conjunction with her
climate, presents conditions more advantageous
for the joint production of the cotton and cereal
crops than are possessed by any portion of the
earth's surface, —with a population, hardy, adven
turous, brave, enlightened, we regard her present
progress and her future growth with intense in
terest. The relation which, by reason of her rap
id development, she is destined soon to sustain to
the institution of slavery, renders her an object of
especial regard to the Southern people. In the
articles of annexation, by which she became a
member of the confederacy, it was stipulated that
new States might he formed out of her territory to
the number of four, whenever, from the census re
turns, it should he ascertained that the population
of each entitled it to a representation in Congress,
in all probability we shall soon have an opportuni
ty of putting the sincerity of this pledge to a prac
tical test. In 1850, the great Webster declared
that such was t he contract,and that he was prepa red
to adhere to it. Abolitionism, however, has
achieved many triumphs and made much perma
nent advancement since his day, and unless the
experience of the recent past he a deceptive guide
to reason, we may confidently look for a repudia
tion of it by the northern people. The new States
thus to be formed and admitted will naturally, and
necessarily adopt the domestic polity and institu
tions of the South. If, as Mr. Webster affirmed,
slavery had been originally and perpetually ex
cluded from California by a decree of the Almighty:
if he could interpret the Divine Mind from the ge
ological formation of that country, and could de
duce the fiat of abolition from her mountain snows,
her deserts and her book of stone, with how much
more confidence can we adopt the conclusion that
the same Supreme Authority has dedicated the tem
perate climate, the rich prairies, and the broad
and fertile savannahs of Texas to the empire'of
slavery. Whatever use she may make of her po
sition, Texas undoubtedly holds in undeveloped
and embryonic existence the balance of power be
tween the abolition and slave interests. Her rapid
growth gives promise of the speedy trial of the
question whether another slave State shall ever he
admitted into the Union. If an affirmative decis
ion ho pronounced, the South may yet regain her
lost strength in the national Legislature. If a
negative response be given, perhaps, as an alter
nate to utter degradation, the South may do
something.
English Interference in Nicaragua.
In our article on the “Monroe Doctrine” (says
’ the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian,) we urged the im
perative necessity of our Government adopting
and applying this principle to the letter and spirit
with reference to the constant interference of
France and England in the affairs of Central Amer
ica. That such interference is being practised is
no longer a matter of doubt, nor can the motives
which prompt it be longer concealed. The Wash
ington States of the 27th, has an article on this
subject, which affords the following important in
formation as to the doings of Great Britain in Cen
tral America. The States says :
We understand the State Department has receiv
ed official information that the British Government
will interfere with any emigration movement made
not only on the part of Americans towards Ceil-1
tral America, hut any attempt to colonize that re- j
gi on. The British squadron has been ordered 1
from the West Indies to the Central American
coast, and Sir William Gore Otislcy will start in a
tew days lor the same scene of action.
If we allow any foreign influence or self-ap
pointed foreign protectorate, on any portion of
this North American continent, much more that
Isthmus which is to he the highway of the world,
do we not outrage the Monroe doctrine, which has
been accepted a< one of the most important arti
cles of Democratic faith ? This Monroe doctrine
has been echoed aud re-echoed time and again in
Democratic resolutions, from one end of the land to
the other, as embodying the best and most con
ser\ ati\ e doctrine by which the dignity of the na
tion can he preserved. Now is the time to act
on it.
Experience shows us that the more we delay in
this matter the more danger do we carelessly sur
round it with. Let the South—let the North take
hold ot the subject, grapple with it, aud not let it
go until they have shaken the very life out of the
shams, pretexts, and dodgeries by which the Eng
lish and I reneii are seeking to hold Central Amer
ica.
hat will those who are clamoring against an
American protectorate over Mexico and the Cen
tral American States say to such a protectorate as
that indicated by the States, will he likely to result
irom British interference in the Isthmus States?
American emigration is to be prohibited by British
guns, and all attempts to quietly and legitimately
colonize any portion of Central America, will meet
with the active and hostile prohibition of this for
eign protectorate. To the maturing of this plan.
Sir 1\ m. Gore Ousley has been devoting his time
in this country; and now, when all is ready, he
departs tor the scene of action, clothed with full
power to interfere w itb the affairs of Central Amer
ica in the way most damaging to the interests of
the United States in that quarter of the New
World.
Is this not a case for the prompt and decided
application of the Monroe doctrine? It certainly
|As, if England is to lie thwarted in her designs upon
aud prosperity of this Nation. W* ha v*
sa id fbat no such interference should be tolerated.
Let this position he kept at alt hazards, and the
country will respond with an unanimity that will
silence all croaking upon the subject. England
must be cheeked in her designs upon the Central
American Stales. * nn j this can only be done by ap
plying the Conroe doctrine. Will that be done?
Cotton- Rales.— On a visit to the Cotton Press
es. Saturday, (says the Savannah Republican,)
we could but remark the inconvenience, danger
and loss of time incurred by securing cotton bales
with hoop iron. It is more difficult to
unloose than rope; a hatchet is used to
knock it loose and the sparks occasionally fly off
in such profusion that an inflamable material like
cotton is in great danger of igniting. After the
hoops are taken oft’ they are of very trifling value
and the owner of the cotton is charged 48 cents
for new ropes. This must operate materially
against the introduction of hoop iron for baling,
and without these difficulties can be overcome we
sec no other result but a return to the old plan of
roping. If the bales were packed in the same
screw, and all the same size, a serious obstacle
would he avoided, as the iron could then he cut
in proper lengths, and the claps placed readily
upon one end; but as at present, a bale of foui
lmndred pounds follows into the Press one of six
hundred pounds, or vice versa, and everything
Inis to stop, and ten or twelve hands be kept wai
ting until the iron is clipped to the right length.
After the pressure is removed, and the strain
comes on the iron, there is great danger in stand
ing near, as it is frequently weak and flies apart
with such violence as would cause serious injury
to any one that may be within reach. This inay
appear incredible, but when doubters reflect that
the bale is reduced by the Press to one half the
bulk given to it by the planter, it will not appear
so very unreasonable. We noticed at one Press
that galvanized wire had been used, but hardly
to anv extent sufficient to test it.
Sydney Smith on Sun hay Observances.- —The
eccentric and satyrical Sydney Smith was never
| charged with being “unco-righteous.” Put there
i are veins of deep and noble thought in his papers,
which it were well if some who are quite ready to
i command his wit and laxity of opinion on a few
i subjects would resort to. Take the following im
pressive utterance as to the value and importance
of the Sabbath:
“ I must suspect the virtue and suspect the reli
gion of that man who imagines he can attain the
quality or the excellence, without submitting to
the rules and practices by which the excellence
and the quality arc found to be attained—who be
lieves he can be a good Christian without Sab
baths and without prayer, and reach the end with
out submitting to the means; and means, remem
ber, not only sanctioned by the experience of men,
but emanating from the will of (1 od, reduced to a
positive commandment, —one of the laws of the
pillar on which all Christian nations have found
ed their religious usages ; and if we did not under
stand the reason of the law, what matter, if it is
the law ? Put who does not feel the reason of the
i law ? Who would hesitate one moment for an
answer, if I were to ask him why the Sabbath was
instituted? To stop that thoughtless, oblivious
creature, man, in bis headlong pursuit of pleasure
and of wealth to tell him that his soul is immortal,
that Christ came down upon earth for his redemp
tion, that the heavens above are spread out to re
ceive him ; to stop him when he is acquiring, and
! to tell him to look into his own soul; to stop him
i when he is enjoying, and to warn him of his salva
j tion; to suspend his contracts, to arrest his
| schemes, to calm his emotions, to quell his lia
| treds, to burst into his soul with the splendor of
Cod’s truth: and-while he is making paltry ac
quisitions and panting after foolish pleasures, to
open to him the heavens and to show him the
throne of Cod, and to open to him the earth and
to show him the depths of hell, and to broach to
him temperance, and righteousness, and judgment
to come.”
The Public Health
The fever is not decreasing, as will he seen by
our reports this morning. The whole number of
deaths for the week is greater than that for any
week since 1853.
The weather yesterday was clear and cool but
nothing near frost temperature; and it may be a
week or more before we shall be able to welcome
back the absentees who we learn, are scattered ev
erywhere from New York to Point Clear, eager to
get borne. We received two letters yesterday—
the one from Paltimore and the other from Mont
gomery—informing us of the anxiety of our friends
for a frost. They have been wearied out with
their northern pleasures, and desire above all
things to come back to {the “little city on the
Gulf,” as one of them calls Mobile. —Mobile Trib

Mr. George IV. Adams has excepted the
position of Superintendent of the Central Railroad,
and will shortly enter upon the duties of the
same.
This office so lately vacated by the lamented
Foote, could not have been filled by a more ener
getic, competent and clever gentleman than the
one who hasbeen selected. For many years past Mr.
Adams has been the Superintendent of the South-
Western Kail Road, and the zeal and ability with
which he discharged the duties of that office are
sufficiently illustrated by the uniform profits of the
Company during his whole administration.
“Oceans” or Cotton'. —Everything that has
wheels is pressed into ser\jce;ynst now to haul
cotton, and still there seems no diminution of the
mighty mass at the depot. Cotton is all over the
city, in streets, in lanes, in warehouses, in yards,
in Cotton Presses, and still comes forward without,
cessation. It is enough to gladden the hearts .of
ship owners to set it in such profusion, after suffer
ing so severely last year. it h all the activity,
freights aro not high, hut vessels are able to load
so quickly that it renders business profitable.—

False Packing—Claims on Factors.
The New Orleans Crescent, of the 27th ult„
says:
We alluded last week to the talk of false pack
ing and plaiting of cotton. We hear of many com
plaints and many remarks that the {swindling aud
cheating is becoming a system. It is time that it
should he cheeked. We give below an extract of
a letter from the executive officer of the Merrimac
Manufacturing Company, one of the largest and
best associations in New England. The letter and
complaint come through a resident house here of
t lie first character and respectability. From what
we learn, the invoice of cotton which turned out
these nineteen bales was purchased from five
or six differen; factors. There is no question but
what these parties arc in honor bound to make
good the deficiency. It becomes the duty of every
factor to promptly meet this question, pay the re
clamation. and kick the’swindling planters who
committed the frauds. Though the direct question
of false packing and fraud cannot lie brought di
rectly home yet, where it can be proven that a
buyer has suffered, a factor is bound to make the
loss good, though lie could not he compelled by law.
Law is one thing, justice and good faith another.
By reference to our financial column of yester
day morning, a decision given bv the Chamber of
Commerce of this city, so long as twenty years
since, establises the correctness of the views in
which we indulge. Moreover, it behooves every
factor to use his influence to check the infamous
system of plaiting at its threshold:
We have suffered much from false packing by
sand and water this last season, quite beyond any
former experience, also by plaiting cotton in a most
unusual and extraordinary degree. 1 suspect foul
play ot the presses. However that may be, there
is enough to show that unusual attention is neces
sary in sampling; for although water in the mid
dle may he difficult to ascertain, sand carefully
sifted in, and poor cotton, with a thin cover of ex
cellent quality outside, must certainly be discover
ed by a drawing of samples when one is forewarn
ed. You may be sure Ido not say too much of
these frauds, the evil is most serious and is rapidly
on the increase : our waste is.constantly increasing
and will be especially large this year. I hear the
same complaints in all quarters. If you can de
tect any frauds, I should wish the most stringent
example to he made of the offender, at all cost, on
my account.
Stock at Liverpool. —The European Times
of the fitli inst. says :
The quantity of American cotton at sea on Fri
day, Bth instant, for this port is 12,000 bales,
against 11,000 bales last year : and of East Indi
an cotton to arrive by the end of December 71,890
bales against 75,000 bales last year. The import
has been large for this period of the year, viz:
21,78(5 American, and a total of all kinds of 45,-
577 bales. There is, consequently, a decrease of
only 2(500 bales in the stock, compared with Fri
day last—but with so small a quantity at sea to
arrive the next four weeks, a much greater reduc
tion is expected during that period.
Douglas in Vermont. —l was born away
down in Yankee land; I was born in a valley in

or eight years ago, for the first time in twenty
odd years. When 1 got there, they treated me
very kindly. They invited me to the Commence

their distinguished guests, and conferred upon me
the degree of L. L. D. in Latin, the same as they
did on Old Hickory, at Cambridge, many years
ago, and [give you my word and honor I* under
stood just as much of the Latin as he did. When
they got through conferring the honorary degrees
they called on me for a speech, and I got up with
my heart full and swelling with gratitude for
their kindness, and 1 6 said to them: “My friends,

The Atlantic Telegraph in Court.
The New York Day Hook contains the follow
ing summary report of an extraordinary scene in
a London Court:
A curious scone took place at the Guildhall Po
lice Court, in London, on the lltli instant. Al
derman Salomons was presiding. A Lieutenant
lliggenson. of the Royal Navy, appeared and de
manded a “summons” against the Atlantic Tele
graph Company, lie stated that by the act of
Parliament joint stock companies were obliged to
make out a list of the names, addresses and occu
pations of all their stockholders annually, and that
the Atlantic Telegraph Company had neglected or
refused to do so. The applicant further stated
he had invested £IOOO in the Atlantic Telegraph
enterprise, out of which the company had swindled
him, and that they had also suppressed a book
written by him entitled “The Ocean—its Unfath
omable Depths and Natural Phenomena.” Aider
man Salomons said he could not listen to any lan
guage reflecting upon acqmpany composcikof such
men as Baring, Rothschild, Morrison, Ac., and
suggested that Lieut. lliggenson appear with his
application in court the next day, when someone
would be present to answer for the company. —
The Lieut, became quite abusive in his language,
and was by order of the court forcibly removed.
On the next day Lieutenant lliggenson re-ap
peared, accompanied by a friend. On the part of
the Atlantic Telegraph Company, Mr. Newman,
solicitor, appeared. Lieutenant lliggenson again
stated his ease. Mr. Newman contended that the
Company was organized under a special act of
Parliament, and were not obligated to conform to
the provisions to the general act. Hereupon llig
genson grew very excited. He said that he was
able to prove that no cable had ever been laid be
tween Yalentia and Newfoundland, and that no
telegraph communication had ever passed between
the two countries. He charged with great violence
of language that the company was a swindling
concern. The court would not allow him to pro
ceed. and he accordingly 1 eFt the room, protesting
against the violation of his rights as an English
man. During the whole of the scene the court
room was crowded almost to suffocation, and the
greatest excitement prevailed.
The Steamer Persia. —The New York Times
understands that, upon the Persia’s return to Liv
erpool, she will be laid up for the winter, and that
the Europa, now on the Boston and Halifax line,
will tnke her place. The reason of this change is
found in the fact that the Persia burns 150 tons of
coal per day. or twice as much as the Europa. and
that the freight, passenger, and mail business of
the winter, can be as well performed by the latter
as the former.
The Vice-President for Douglas.
mr. Breckinridge’s letter.
Versailles, Ky., Oct. 4, 1858.
Dear Sir —l received this morning your letters
of the 28th and 29th ult., written as chairman of
the'Democratic State committee of Illinois, also
one from Mr. V. lliekox, who informs me that he
is a member of the same committee. My absence
from home will account for the delay of this an
swer.
In these letters it is said that I am reported to
have expressed a desire that Mr. Douglas shall de
feat Mr. Lincoln in their contest for a seat in the
Senate of the United States, and a willingness to
visit Illinois and make public speeches in aid of
such result: and if these reports are true, lam
invited to deliver addresses at certain points in the
State.
The rumor of my readiness to visit Illinois and
address the people in the present canvass is with
out foundation. I do not propose to leave Ken
tucky for the purpose of mingling in the political
discussions in other States. The two or three
speeches which I delivered recently in this State
rested on peculiar grounds, which i need not now
discuss.
The other rumor to which you refer is true. 1
have often, in conversation, expressed a wish that
Mr. Douglas may succeed over his Republican
competitor. But it is due to candor to say, that
this preference is not founded ou Ills course at the
late session of Congress, and would not exist if I
supposed it would he construed as an indorsement
of the attitude which he then chose to assume to
wards his party, or of all tbc positions he lias ta
ken in the present canvass. It is not necessary to
enlarge on these things. I will only add. that my
preference rests mainly on these considerations:
that the Kansas question is practically ended—
that Mr. Douglas, in recent speeches, has explicit
ly declared his adherence to the regular Demo
cratic party organization—that he seems to be the
candidate of the Illinois Democracy, and the most
formidable opponent in that State of the Republi
can party, and that on more than one occasion du
ring his public life he has defended the Union of
the States and the rights of the States with fideli
ty, courage and great ability.
1 have not desired to say anything upon this or
any other subject about which a difference maybe
supposed to exist in our political family, hut I did
not feel at liberty to decline an answer to the cour
teous letter of your committee.
With cordial wishes for the harmony of the Illi
nois Democracy, and the hope that your great and
growing State, which has never yet given a sec
tional vote, may continue true to our constitution
al Union, I am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
John C. Breckinridge.

A Fine Morgan. —Among the showy animals
of the equine species which the Fair has brought
to our city, is a very fine young Morgan stallion,
the property of Mr. C. B. Ferrell, of Chambers
county. This horse was bred in Ohio, is five
years old, stands nearly fifteen and a half hands
high, and is a beautiful black, of fine muscular
form and good action, lie is perfectly green, but
those who have handled him, think that if trained
he would trot very respectably. He ought to do
so, for his pedigree is unexceptionable,* and not a
little stress is laid on his descent from the old Ohio
“ Messenger mare.”
This stallion is entered at the Fair and will
doubtless obtain a premium. His owner intends
him to improve the stock of Chambers and Troup,

WOOD’S HAIR RESTORATIVE.
Almost every body has heard of Wood’s Hair
Restorative. That the word Restorative in this
ease is no misnomer, we have the testimony of
individuals whose elevated position in the country
as well as their acknowledged and honorable cha
racter as gentlemen, render whatever they publicly
asssertin the last degree reliable. Several of
these have tented, personally, the hair preparation
we are now speaking of, and certify to its amazing
efficacy in the most public manner possible. Their
certificates can be seen at tlie proprietor's depot,
312 Broadway, New York, and once seen and
properly appreciated, we ha ve no hesitation in
saying they will impress conviction on the most
skeptical mind. Wood’s Hair Restorative is,
doubtless, the best article of its kind ever yet pro
duced.
ASS~It does not dye, but gives life, health and
beauty to the decaying, falling and dead, restoring
as if by magic, that which was supposed to be ir
recoverably lost. Heads nearly bald, and others
nearly white, are daily being changed* to their
pristine beauty, and faces covered with pimples are
rendered as smooth as an infant’s, and blushing
as a rose, all by the use of Prof. Wood’s Hair Re
storative. For sale at 114 Market Street, and by
all Druggists. —Chicago Democrat.
Sold by all Druggists in this city, and by deal
