Tliu ellui'ts made ill the House, to day, to take up
ttio Senate bills anil make them the order, till dis
posed of, failed. For the motion to take them in the
order In whioli they lie oil tlm Speaker’s table, there
were 11-1 votes, arid 94 voles against it. To got two-
thirds for taking them up. in any order, is not prac
ticable, at present- The civil and diplomatic bill may
be disposed of on Saturday, and next Monday, being
resolution day, a hare majority may take up the bills.
It 1? one thing to tako them up, and another to pass
them. , ....
1 um much inclined to think that the California
and the Utah hills will be passed, ill the terms in
which the Senate pusseil them, but the Texas bnnn-
iln'ry bill and the bill establishing the territorial go-
.. rimirtit of New Mexico, are in a laid Way, mid ar
fast getting no belter. It must he homo in mind
that the elections are goiug on, and that u large por
tion of the members of the House, for tho Thirty
Second Congress, are to bo chosen between this ami
next December, and the present members will not,
if-oandidntos for re-election, willingly burn their lin
ger* In the menntimo.
They feel enter in doing nothing than in taking a
eouiso that will ho challenged by their constituents,
whether Southern, or Western. Again, the great
mass meeting at Macon, Georgia, is about to take
pluee, for. the purpose of responding-to the report
of the Nashville Convention, and denouncing by
name, all who favored the compromise bill. Ail
the.Southern Hotspurs are to tie there, prepared—to
nso the Roman phrase—for “stirring the lire with
the sword." This and other manifestations oi South
ern sentiment are to have mi ettoct hero.
Meanwhile, the Southern members begin to relent
rite more at the ten millions, and are tptite dissatis
fied with the boundary line proposed by Mr. 1’cnrce s
bill. On tho whole, time is not with the friends
of the bill. Every day’s delay diminishes the chan
ces of its success, ltissuid that nn effort is to ho
made to take up tho Texan boundary hill and keep
it under the control of the House, without sending
it to the committee of tho whole on the state ol the
Union. ...
But this ennnot bo without a Violation ot the rules
ot the House, particularly the rule (131) that “ all
proceedings touching appropriations ot money shall
he first discussed in a Committee of tho Wli ole
House." Tne bill to establish the territorial govern
ment of New Mexico will be moved ns mi amendment
to the Texan bill, when an opportunity shall oiler,
and with the hope that each hill will help tho other
ulinig. <
There 1st i be nn effort, perhaps, to substitute fo r
the ton millions u provision for tho payment of that
portion of the Texan debt for which the receipts
from customs were pledged, limiting tho amount to
fivo millions. Another, but hopeless plan, will be
to permit Texas to extend her jurisdiction over tlint
part of New Mexico which she claims,—wo keep
ing our money, and site her territory, as claimed by
her. whether rightfully or wrongfully.
The fugitive slave bill was taken up in the Senate
to-duy, mid it was found to be -a difficult subject.—
The Southern Senators are in fuvoi oi Mr. Mason’s
substitute, which is n, stringent and cffieucious bill
for tho owners. Several. Senators deem tho bill as
impracticable. Mr. Berrien proposed that the South
ern Senators should not discuss tile subject, and see
whether the North would do justice, to the Smith or
not. Tho Northern Senators contend simply that
the law, in order to bo executed, must conlorm witli
tiiu feelings and sentiments of the people of tho uon-
pluvi holding States.
Tho litqtis that Northern sympathies are just now
strongly in favor of fugitive slaves. To free negroes
they do not offer any shelter or hospitalitybut a
runaway is so much caressed that freo negroes arc
now going about assuming to lie fugitives, and . phi
lanthropists are cautioned against tlio imposition.—
Under these) circumstances it will be difficult to ox-
onto a very stringent law. Free negroes are so odi
ous iff the free .'■Matos that they will, ere long, lie driv
en out of tliliin us an incubus upon society; but tho
fugitive will he laden with favors and caresses, by
way rif insult to thu slaveholders.

Improvement in Marine Propulsion — A tew days
ago we had the opportunity ot inspecting, at Messrs.
Johnson, Cutmnel) A- Co’s Cyclops ritoel A orks, a
remarkable Inproveinent effected in the machinery
tor propelling steam-vessels. It is the invention ot
Mr. Mackintosh, and is insnuiucraired at the Cyclops
Steel Works. The propellers hitherto in use have
been invariably made from east metal, and when at
rest or in motion are a perleet screw, always at tile
same pitch.—The improved flexible propeller (Mack
intosh's) to which we refer, is made ot steel, well
hammered mid tempered, and set at an tiiigle on the
revolving sluift— When rit rest it is n perleet plane,
but when in action it forms a screw, and, by the tlcxi-
liility (li the sti el, assumes a liner or a coarserpiteh,
(■curding to the strength of the adverse action ot the
Wider through which it moves. The circuinstance
imparts to tiie vessel and machinery an easy action,
especially in rough and heavy seas, which bus never
been attained by the rigid screws now in use.
Propellers manufactured uncording to this patent
are nut more than half the weight of those made of
cast metal, though the forgings ure the largest yet
attempted to be made from steel, it has been ascer
tained by experiment, that in point of speed there is
u gain (it ill) per cent. In heavy seas or rough
weuili. r, this propeller can he easily hoisted on hoard
by means of a simple block and tucle, thus saving
(lie expense of tile machinery now used for raising
the east metal ones; and, from being malleuble and
tough,does away with the risk of breakage which nec
essarily ensues in the moving of u cumbersome piece
of cast metal, in cost there is a saving of fifty
per cent. This is considered to be one of the
greatest improvements yet made in maritime
propulsion. Four of these propellers have already
Octm mud 1 mid brought into use ; and, us a ptuoi of
the high estimation in which they ure held, it may be
stated'"that the Lot ds of the Admiralty have ordered
her majesty’s steam-vessel Bee, tho swiftest screw-
vessel alloat to he lifted out witli one of these pro
pellers m preference to the rigid screw. We under
stand tlmt Messrs Johnson, Cambell & Co., liuve
made arrangements with Mr. Mackintosh, the pa
tentee, tor exclusively manufacturing the propellers

The Huron 1Hiihm Meeting.
Our coteinpomrios of yesterday morning hud tele
graphic despatches giving very discordant accounts
of the Mass Meeting held at Macon on 'Thursday.
The Republican's account states the number in at
tendance ut IU0O to 1000, while the Georgian gives
the number ut 10,000. We hoped to hear something
more definite by lust night’s until, hut tho only ac
count tbut reached us was thut of the Georgia Citizen,
which characterizes tho mooting as a disunion affuir
and a failure. The editor’s account is well calculated
for ii Northern circulation, wliifch it will no doubt
liuve. It is not very likely, however, that it will do
much harm, as the spirit of the article will bo appre
ciated gveu by the enemies of tin! South.
A gentleman who entile by tho ours lust night in
forms us that the meeting numbered about 3000.
All Interesting Bridal Hare. The conditions of the
bridal race are these -. The maiden has it certain
start given, which she avails licrself of to gain u suffi
cient distance from the fcrowd to enable her toman-
ago her steed with freedom, so as to assist in the pur
suit the suitor whom she prefers. On a signal from
the father, nil the luirsineu gallop after thu fair one,
and whichever first succeeds in encircling her waist
with his arm, no matter whether disagreeable or not
to her choice, is entitled to claim her us tiis wife. Af
ter tho usual delay incident upon such occasions, the
maiden quits the circle of her relations, and putting
lii-r steed into u hard gallop. durU into tile open plain.
When satisfied with her position, she turns round to
the Impatient youths, and stretches out her arms to
wards them as if to woo their approach. This is
themoment for giving tho signal to commence the
chase, mid each of the impatient youths, dashes his
pointed heels into ids courser's sides darts like the
unheeded hawk in pursuit of his fugitive dove. The
savannah was extensive, full twelve miles long ami
three in width ; and as the horsemen sped across the
plain, the favored lover became seen apparent by the
efforts of the maiden to avoid all others w ho might
approach her. ,
At length, after nearly two hours’ racing, the num
ber of pursuers is reduced to four, who are nil to
gether, and gradually gaining, on the imrsui d. With
them is the favorite; but ulus I his horse suddenly
fails in lilsi*peed; and as she anxiously turns her
head, she perceives with dismay the hapless position
ot' her lover. Each of the inure fortunate lenders,
eager with anticipated triumph, bending his head on
the horse’s mime, shouts, at the top ot his voice. “I
come, my l’eri I I’m your lover.'" But she, mak
ing a sudden turn, and lashing her horse almost to fu
ry, darts across path, and makes for that part of the
rhummtim (plain) where her lover is vainly endeav
oring to gum! on his weary stead. The three others
instantly check their career; hut in the hurry to turn
| hack, two of the horses arc dashed furiously against
| each other, so that both seeds Hiol riders roll over the
plain. The maiden laughed, (for she well knew that
slm could elude the single horseman,) and llew to tho
point where licr lover was. Uut her only pursuer
was rarely mounted, and not so easily shaken off'.
Making » last and desperate effort, he dashed along
side the untidm, and stretching out his arm, almost
won the unwilling prize; hut she, bending her head
to the horse's ueck, eluded his grasp and wheeled off.

The Texas Uuundahy Bill.—Tho Washington
“Union” of Sunday soys, so strong is tho feeling of
opposition to this Bill, on the part of the Northern and
Southern Extremists, even the “Moderates” are begin
ning to give way. The Editor is assured thut this Bill
if it be pressed first, will ho lost liy ill) votes.
The Texas Boundary—nislngeiiuousness of
the Republican.
The Republican of yesterday contains a rejoinder
to our article of Wednesday. The editor says we
have failed to show how it is that the passage ot Mr.
Pearce's Boundary Bill would be a surrender oi
slave soil to free soil, and after alluding to tho evi-
dence adduced by us trom a leading Whig journal in
New York, dismisses it with the remark that “the
■cause of a Southern paper must be weak, which has
to roly for support upon the sayings of anonymous
letter writors und newsmongers, who are unfriendly
to us and our institutions.” The editor kuows very
well that tiie paragraph quoted by us expresses the
views and sentiments of tUo Northern press generally,
and that though It may not liuve emanated from the
pen of Mr. Brooks, it was from his own correspond
ent, written us it were under his own eye, mid that
it would uut liuve been published hud it not met the
approbation of those who ure governed by his views.
We think such evidence, coming from tho parties
themselves, precisely the kind ol evidence tiie people
of the South.should have, und that it is entitled to
quite ns muclt weight and is less apt to mislead,
than the “ unsupported opinions” olthe editor ol the
Republican. We adduced It to show thut ut tile North
the surrender of Texas wus regarded as u surrender
to free sutl, and that thu fact wus used by the press
there, as an argument to induce tho North to consent
to tiie ten million clause in thu bill. Our cotemporu.
ry knows this is the opinion and tho argument of tho
Northern friends of the measure, and though he sees
tit to suppress the luot, and, doubtless with u view to
lull toe upprehensions of his readers—to amuse them
with stories of Demon Brides, rubbed Brides, and
Guusts—ho knows very well that tho passage of the
Texan Boundary Bill, over which he is prepared to
exult would uut bo couteinplutcd for one moment by
the anti-slavery majority in Congress, hut on tho
ground that it is to close the lust utid only outlet oi
our institutions to tho territories acquired from Mex
ico. Our cotemporary proceeds;
Admitting thut a portion of the territory given
to New Mexico by mu Boundary bill, belongs to
Texas, we hold that its truusler does nut convert it
trom slave soil to tree soil. The Hews contends lhat
it does. Eueh is the position of our cotemporary,
fairly stated. “Yet, strange to say, he is forced to
udtmt thut tho lex loci ot New Mexico, toe old local
law ivlneh formerly prohibited-slavery, is not in
force since its acquisition—that the bill organizing
a territorial government for that territory, extends
thu Constitution over it, eschews thu Wilmot Provi
so, und leaves the country open ulike to the slave
holder and his property, und thu free Boiler and
his property. He is further forced to admit,
that the local law in that part of Texas which is
ceded to Hew Mexico, protests the institution of slavery,
and that it would remain valid after the transfer,
Grunting these tacts, we are uuuule, as tiie public
will be, to comprehend tho change wtiich will be ef
fected in tho character of the soil by tho cont emplat
ed oessiou.”
lu tho above extract, wo have italicised the lines
which contuiua palpable misstatement of fact. Wo
have never made uny such admission, and we chal
lenge the editor to prove his assertion. In us much
us wo pronounced his statement, that slavery
would continue to exist in that portion of the surren
dered territory over which the jurisdiction of Texas
lnid extended, absurd, toid expreessed the belief tlmt
he could not be serious in advancing tin idea so ridic
ulous, wo uro at a loss to understand how helms the
"brass and effrontery” to make tile assertion. Our
cotemporary, with his peculiar views on the subject
may sec nothing extraordinary in such u state of
things, but we doubt if he will find any of his non
intervention friends, either North or South, to allure
with him in uu idea, to tho originality of which he
has mi undisputed claim.
In regard to the lex loci, wo are ireo to repeat that
we do not hold it good law in New Mexico or Cali
fornia ; and if wc felt assured that our opinion would
besustained by tho Ihiitod States Courts, wo should
fell much better satisfied in regard to the rights of
the South in tho new territories, under tlm Boundary
Bill. It matters not, however, what our opinions or
the opinions of tho Southern people may ho in regard
to this matter, it is well known that ueontrary opin
ion is entertained by the editor’s Northern non-inter
vention friends, and that upon the validity of tlmt
law._they.roly as a substitute for tho Wilmot Proviso,
in ouso they are unable to apply the latter to the now
territories. Mr. Cass and Mr. Clay, both hold it
good against Sluvery extension in the territories.—
Mr. Stephens, und other Southern gentlemen;-whose
opinions are entitled to consideration, have admitted
the validity of the luw, mid it wus upon that ground,
as the editor of the Republican well knows, that the
Clayton compromise was rejected. He knows, too,
Radicalism and Conservatism.—Mr. II. J. Ry
moud. of the N. Y. Courier, delivered, the oration be
fore the Alumni of tho University of Vermont, lust
week, upon “The Duty oi tho Scholar in relation to
his Country and Times." According to a report in
tlio Boston Traveller, he regarded tho advancement
of society as thu effect of two great principles, radi
calism, and conservatism—the one urging it forward)
the other checking and regulating its speed. The
former, without the latter, would destroy, by amir,
ehy ; the latter, without the former, by inactivity.—
lienee, it is the duty ol the scholar to mingle with so.
eiety, not for thu purpose of checking the spirit ut
radicalism, hut for the purpose of directing its course
and bringing it to right results, and thus secure the
real and permiuteul advancement of society.
Cotton Crowing iu British Colonies,
It will he remembered that wo recently alluded to
a scheme which lmd been set on foot in England witli
a view to introduce tbe culture of Cotton in the Brit
ish YV est Indies. We leant Tom u late number of
H'ilmer and Smith's European Times, that n meeting
was held in Manchester on tho 30tli alt., composed of
many of tho leading merchants and manufacturers
to take the subject into consideration. The meeting
came to tho conclusion that cotton could be produced
in the West nutl East Indies sufficient to supply the
demand ot Great Britain, and resol ved to organize a
joint stock company, for t»e purpose of giving the
matter u fair test. Tho Times says:
Although a portion of the company's capital is to
levuted to the experiment in British India, it is
done The editor of the Republican charges us with
having changed our position in regard to the Com
promise measure ol the .Senate Committee. In this
our cotemporary is mistaken.
Then follows an extract from our paper, of May
25tli. in which, after expressing the o inion that the
Committee's Compromise hail been lrained with a
view to satisfy the reasonable demands ot all sections,
we add ’
And though it liiny not (ns it is impossible that any
measure should) give satisfaction to the extremes ot
either section ol tiie Union, it will, we think, meet the
approbation of the cool, d ispassionate judgment ot
the American people. In its . progress through the
forms of legislation, it inny receive amendment, and
amendment may beneeded, but take it all in all in view
of the great difficulties which surround tlio question,
it is doubtful whether any arrangement mure nccept-
abletu tho whole country cun be devised"
Now, it would have required very littlo more spnee
to have continued tiie first extract to the find ot tiie
paragraph, which the reader will see was essential to
a right understanding of our meaning, and which
would explain wlmt were our views in May last, when
the other paragraph quoted was penned. We will
insert the balance ol our paragraph, which reads right
on from where tho Republican's extract stops, as fol
lows :
The aspect of tho measure, has changed. Believ
in'' as we did at the time, that tiie political divisions
of’the Soufli hud defeated the Nashville Convention,
which wo lmd favored us a means of harmonizing
utid concentrating public opinion among us, and
which we hoped would adopt some lair, just and
liberal basis ot settlement, we looked to the Senate
Committee as the only hope of such an adjustment.
Wo were in favor of some compromise, and when
Mr. Clay’s measure wus put forth, we expressed the
hope that it would "bo so amended and perfect
ed” in the process of legislation as “to render it ac
ceptable, und satisiactory to the South." In this
hope we watched its progress. But when from day
to day we saw amendment after amendment from
the South rejected, und us in the course of its discus
sion, tho character of tho plan became more fully
developed, we were forced to the conviction .that
from it the Soutli had nothing to expect, hut injustice
and wrong.
We will leave tiie reader to judge whether the
Republican lms quoted us fairly or not. We did not
deny that wc lmd favored the Senatorial Compromise
ut a time when we believed it to he the only hope for
the Soutli. We preferred it as wo understood it, to
President Tuylor’s plan, und sp long as there was no
prospect of anything better, we favored the candid
consideration of thu scheme by the South, alwuys
with the trust that it would be so amended as to make
it acceptable und just to the South. YVe had ut that
time our doubts whether, in view of the difficulties which
surrounded the question, a better measure could be
devised with any prsopect of its success. But
the principal difficulties have siuee been removed.
The l’reqjdent’s scheme has been abandoned, uud tile
South have become more united, and instead of re
pudiating, ns we feared they would, the Nashville Con
vention, have determined to ratify its proceedings,
even though that Convention was u failure. So much
for our positiou then und now, and so much for tho
candor of the editor of tlio Republican.
But wlmt bettor could we expect from nn editor
who steadily persist iu suppressing or misrepresent-’
iug the true state of public opinion North uud South,
on a question involving such vital interests to both
sections of tho Union; and who labors rather to di
vide und distract tlio counsels of our people titan to
inform, unite and harmonize public sentiment ut tlio
Soutli—who prefers to retail tiie scurrilous abuse
heaped upon the people of a sister Stiite by the
Northern anti-slavery press, rather than give his
renders correct information of tho movements uud
aims of our mutuul enemies.
Tile editor thinks perhaps we will deny having re
published articles from other papers opposed to tlio
Nashville convention, and the “Southern lire outers.”
By no means. We do not follow the practice of tho
Republican of suppressing whatever does not har
monize with our peculiar views. Our rule is neither
to suppress, or knowingly to misrepresent the truth.
We aim to give our renders correct information on
both sides, in order that they may he fully informed
iu regard to the movements of men and parties in
relation to tins great question. Valuable truths are
often obtained from the arguments of our enemies,
and it is our aim to give our readers the facts, he they
wlmt they may and from whatever source.
We are more liberal than our cotemporary, and
will not presume that he will deny that he sent abroad
tho impression that the late meeting in this city was
a small party affair, and tlmt the resolutions in favor
of tho Nashville Convention were passed by a packed
vote. We tiro sure ho will not deny that lie stated iu
his paper, in effect, that the Clarke Countv ineotin

Opera Music in Church.—The N. Y’. Recorder gives

An organist is eimaged, who pltys popular orchestral

more genius he is supposed to possess. If he be h here-

rily a disqualification for his leading the praise of the
house of God. Four singers are then engaged with

nausiu. It is very comfortable tor the voluptuous
worldling, who frequents the opera dol ing the week,
to hear his own favorite music, from his favorite
singers, on.Suriday also; and the voice of the preacher,
with hi* denunuutions of worldUuess, will seldom
lie loiul enough to dispel the echoes ofthe more wel
come strains from the gallery, at the opposite end of
the church. All tills while the old music is suffered
lo lie by forgotten. Yet if it were revived and used
as it ought to be, it would ben great instrument in the
growth ofttoi'clmmii, and iu increasing the heartiness
ol her worship, and the piety and zeal of her mem-.
be
clear that upon the YY’est the hopes ot the projectors
mainly depend. Tho sample of Jamaica cotton,
picked wile in that island, which was exhibited to the
gentlemen present commanded general admiration,
as possessing alt the requisites of quality, length, and
strength, and it was shown with much force that the
quality of tho raw uiuterialcould he greatly improved
under proper regulations. The new body is to he
called the " British Colonial Co ton Company,” with
a capital limited in the first instance to the nominal
sum of £51),(AW; for it was shown that that sum, al
though apparently small, was quite sufficient iu the
outset to produce results which would secure the
ultimate extension ol tho undertaking. One half of
the eapitul is to be devoted to Jamaica, where the
representatives of the compuny are to be sent; but
the inquiry is not to he limited exclusively to that
island. In the words of one of the speakers, “ they
would examine curefully which ot our colonies was
best adapted for the growth of cotton—which had
the best harbors, the best roads, and, most of all, the
cheapest lubor.”
The adventurers iu this speculation will, in tiie
course of their investigations uud experimenting
learn many, things of which they, are comparatively
ignorant now, not the least important of which will
he that the labor to be employed in u successful com
petition with the cotton growing States of this Union,
must not only be “the cheapest labor,” but it unict be
reliable labor, which the apprentice and cooley sys
tems of the YVest Indies does not afford.
New Y’ork by 1’oe. Some little excitement is
created iu literary circles, in New York, by the an
nouncement of a forthcoming posthumous work
from the pen of Edgar A. l’oc, entitled “ The Lite
rati," and professing to "show up” sundry of the
“ hook men” thereabout. It is suggested that there-
will be more truth than Poetry in it.
Southerners with their slave property from the ter
ritories, and that-to it is to he attributed the fact that
the emigration has thus lar been chiefly from the
free States. But fur this law, which whs held up
us u bur to tho South by the Nortnern majority, it is
more than probable that thousands of Southern
slaves would now he working tho mines of Califor
nia, nnd that the South would be a joint participant,
ns she of right should be, with the North in the
wealth ot the New Eldorado. The lex loci, in tho
absence of tmy action of Congress will continue to
deter Southern emigration to New Mexico, us it has
deterred it from California, and the result will he
‘that by the time the territorial government is fairly
organized if-not before wo will have tlio free State of
New Mexico demanding admission into tho Union.
In the language of a New York paper before us. “If
the friends of Freedom exert themselves to col
onize New Mexico with whites, they can be pretty
sure of soon having a Free State, nearly as large us
Texas, right along side of the hitter."
YVith such sell evident tacts, staring us in the
face, is it not utter folly, is it not gross injustice to the
South to try to disguise the truth—-to try to persuade
the people of .Georgia by refinements of sophistry,
into a belief that their rights and interests are not sac-
'Tificed by the Compromise Boundary Bill ?
The assertion that the “Savannah Morning Hews,
Charleston Mercury anil Southern Press are the only
papers South of the Potomac” who oppose the Texns
boundary Bill, ’s scarcely worth noticing. It is of a
piece with the suppressions and misstatements of the
Republican, by which its renders are led into error in
regard to the true character of the question now
agitating the country, nnd the parties to the issue.
The editor pays but little attention to his exchanges,
or lie kuows that the whole Compromise scheme of
the Senate Committee, is opposed by a number of the
most respectable journals in tlio Southern country, ns
well us by ut least two-thirds of the Southern delega
tion in Congress. He alleges that the opposition in
Congress is to tho adoption of the Texas Boundary,
prior to the adjustment of the territorial question.
Y 7 ery well, our opposition extends no further. Let
Congress adjust the territorial question by the
simplo proceis of adopting the Missouri Line to tho
Pacific, with protection to the South, South of that
line, aucl our opposition and the opposition of the en
tire South will cease at once, so far as these measures
are concerned'; and if it will adopt such a fugitive
slave bill as will etfectually protect Southern proper
ty, as northern property is now protected, there
will at once be uu cud to our dissensions und difler-
euecs, uud the Union will be preserved and perpetu
ated.
YVe have alluded to the disingenuous course of tha
Republican. Our cotemporary is disingenuous in
quoting and garbling our articles iu such a manner us
to misrepresent our- meaning. We believe that such
artifices areeonsidered not only unfair, but ns evi
dence of the weakness ofthe cause which requires a
resort to them.
YVith a view to make it appear that wc had falsified
oursell in replying to hi9 charge of having changed
ground on the Senatorial Compromise, our magnan
imous cotemporary quotes the following portion of u
paragraph trom our article of YVednesday ;
One word in regard to our owncourseimd we have
Troops in Motion.—The St Louis Republican,
of Sunday the lltli, learns that the 7th Regiment of
U. S. Infantry, Col. Plympton commanding, just re
turned trom Florida, and scarcely encamped nt.Ief
feivon Barracks, after severe service, lias received
orders from the Secretary of YVur to prepare for dis
tant service, and move immediately to Fort Leaven
worth. Orders or instructions have also been receiv.
ed, to push forward, with nil possible dispatch, the
equipment and mounting of the recruits lor the Dra
goon Regiments, of whom about three hundred are
now at Jefferson Barracks. Upon the above state of.
facts tiie Republican comments thus:
"YVe know not tho purposes of these movements,
but they look very much as if President Fillmore is
preparing to support his position on tlio questions
between Textfa and New Mexico. The promptness
of the movement would indicate a determination to
be prepared for any contingency, hut if New Mexico
is to lie the theatre, we opine that it is too late for
any effective movement on the part ofthe army until
next season, unless the fall should be one of ltnuBuai
mildness. The firs{ or middle of this month, (August)
is very late lor a large body of troops to attempt to
cross the Plains from I’Yil't Leavenworth to Santa
Fe.

seems, in defence of “the peculiar institution' ’ against

The lenders stirred up the ‘many headed' by posting
handbills all over the city, notifying the lieges that
an abolitionist was to be tarred and leathered, the gen

ordered to leave the city, but having made n written
statement, disavowing the offence, tile.excitement

He who yields himself to Vice, must inevit
ably suffer, if the human law dons not convict and
punish him,'he moral law, which will have'obe
dience, will follow him to his doom. Every crime
is committed for a purpose, with smile idea of
future personal pleasure; and just as surely as God
governs the universe, so surely does a crime, al
though concealed, destroy the happiness of tiie’ fu
ture. No matter how deeply laid have been the plans
ol the criminal; or how desperately executed detec
