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 une 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.— Sac.

J:**” It is an actual fact that a man who at tempted to hug a beautiful young woman, named Miss Lemon, has sued her for striking him in the eye. lie is altogether unreasonable. Why should he squeeze a Lemon unless he wants a punch?

Wal ker’s movementsisjattracting serious diplomatic {at tention here. It is wolf known that he is well sup plied with money and men; audit is equally well known that officers in the British West India Squadron have emphatic orders to intercept all iilbuster movements or expeditions against Cen tral America. It is feared that in case Gen. Walker attempts to land any forces in Nicaragua he will be repul sed by the British cruisers; and international ques tions will then]] arise between England and the United States.

Board Health. 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 Vermont, with the high mountains around me. I love the old Green Mountains and valley of Ver mont,{where I was born, and where I played in my childhood. 1 went up to visit them seven 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 ment of the College, placed me on the seats with 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, Vermont is the most glorious spot on the face of this globe fora man to be born in, provided he em igrates when he is very young.— Speech on the stump in Illinois. The Copyright Congress at Brussels. —The Copyright Congress held at Brussels, has arrived at the following conclusions: 1.

The es tablishment of a uniform law, that protection to the product of intellect may bo universal. 3. Complete equality between native and foreign au thors. 4. A simplification of the formalities re quired for an author to publish his work in a for eign country: that is to say, that the fact of his having complied with the requirements in his own country shall be sufficient. Dramatic works and musical composition to be placed cm the same footing as literary works as regards copyright, (i.

Stock was being received all day. Ev | efythiug will be in readiness for exhibition to-dav, | and we will endeavor to give a description of the i exhibition in to-morrow's Advertiser. The 12 o’clock train yesterday brought about four hun dred visitors to town. The hotels and private boarding houses are filling rapidly. Everything betokens a “stirring” week—provided the weather is favorable. At this writing, however, ( j p. m.) it betokens rain. We hope the “ signs” will fail in this regard. — Monty. Advertiser. Goon Sale of Negroes. —The Greensboro (Ala.) Beacon, says: Mr. John B. Williams, agent, sold a few days ago, to Mr. Gideon E. Nelson, a lot of twenty four negroes for $20,500 cash. The lot consisted of one man and his wife and two children, and 10 boys and 10 girls—the ages of the boys and girls ranging from 12 to 20. The age of the man about 22 years. One of the children is 9 years old. the other 4 months. Lonn Napier in Richmond. —The Dispatch of the 29th ult., says: This distinguished representative of the British Government, at Washington, arrived here yester day. He appeared on the Fair Grounds in the af ternoon and attracted a great deal of attention.— Few present had ever seen aresl live Lord, and so rare a sight put numbers on the qui vice. His Lordship is a plain gentleman, of easy and unaf fected manners. Many of the untitled, fussy gen tlemen of our land of liberty, might derive an in structive lesson by contemplating the unostenta tious demeanor of this nobleman of England, 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. Hon. John Moore, Chairman of the Committee. 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.
