Important from Tcxus*»Gov. Hons-
ton Deposed
Our readers have already been made
aware of Gov. Houston’s refusal to re
cognize the further legal existence of
the Texas Convention. Gn the 11th
the* Convention passed an ordinance to
provide for the continuance ol the ex
isting State (iovenunent, which required
the Governor and the other officers of
Old “A. Blinkuii*’ in n Fix.
The present situation of the great par- . „ uiniiiji „
ty of nigger worshippers of the Federal ! tin- Kxoentivo Department to appear bo-
Govcrnment, is like tliat of a large I lore the Convention oil tlio lOtli, and
0 ],1 I take the oath of allegtence. Governor
lions on refused to comply, wher upon
snake, that having crawled up an
tree thrust his head down into a wood-1 |m ov< ji na ,was passed on tlie Kith by
peckers nest and swallowed the young a vote of 1-7 yen* to 4 nays, declaring
birds. This so distended his throat the office of Governor vacant, and ap-
. .. . -i i„ .tram, imok his pointing Lieutenant UovornorOliirk act-
that it was impossible to draw back tn | J na ao ^ rnor ad in(trim , Tho o(1 - 100 ol
Secretary of State was also declared va-
liead, and with bis vile body dangling
in the wind he perished ; his unsightly,
exposed carcass being a disgusting but
most emphatic warning to all passers
bv, “never to get into a scrape unless
you know how to get out of it.” For
yours past (his vile party, by gentle
sinuosities, lias dragged its slimy length
along until finally it lias crawled up the
tree of a popular majority and thrust
its head, ‘‘Old Abo,” into tile hole call
ed the White House, and at one vora
cious gulp he lias swallowed all the offi
ces. But what further remains for this
monster to do. It cannot go ahead and
it is impossible to back. As it seems to
us it is bound to hang, a striking monu
ment to the nations of its own foolish
and wicked fanaticism.
Lincoln's present position is like that
of a man on tliin ico over deep water
He is sure to sink if lie keeps still,
and any motion ho may make will only
precipitate him the quicker. If lie rai
ses his hand against the Confederate
States lie will at once loose the border
States, and make complete tlio coni'
inmercial ruin of the ballanco of his
dominion. And yet tlio time is rapidly
hastening on when he is either obliged
to give up the forts, and tints acknowl
edge our independence; or else the
keeping of armed men and fortify
cations within our borders, will bo right
fully construed us a declaration of war,
and actual hostilities would commence
Thus ho is in a miserable “fix,” and
“like a man to double business bound,
lie stands in pause whero first to begin
and both neglects.”
lie lias got an empty Treasury ami
no prospect of adequate revenue. The
Morrill Tariff that goes into effect about
this time, averages nearly twice as high
as that established for the Confederate
States, and Northern importers are al"
ready making their arrangements to
ship their goods through the Southern
ports. And as there is no duty on
goods going from the C. *S. A. (Confede
rate Slates of America) to the ’ll. S. A.,
iris revenue from tariffs on imports will
soon be hardly worth collecting.
What tho United States government
may conclude to do is as uncertain as
the wind. Their only reasonable and
right course, is to ■acknowledge the in
dependence of the seceded States, sur
render all the forts and arsenals within
our borders, and then make a "just and
equitable division of the public debt
and property. This would be very hu
miliating and it is extremely doubtful
whether they have the moral courage to
do it.
The Black Republican party is com
pletely divided, one half clamoring for
“coercion,” and llie other for the re
storation of peace and quiet. Their
great leaders are completely doinoiuliz-
ctl, for tlie very thing they most sol
omnly asserted would not happen—tlio
dissolution of the Union—lias already
occured, and distrust and confusion
now prevades tlio minds of the dupes
of these fanatical demagoguges.
Under these circumstances there is
no predicting what may bo done. It
is the duty of our government to pro.
pare lor ilie worst, while hoping fi r
the best, and patiently await the devel
opments of the future.
Tut Heath Texai-tv to he Revised.—
A bill is now before the New York Leg
islaturo, and is likely tj become a law,
the object of which is to punish with
death, murder in the first degree, as
under tho old law which the Legislature
preceding this one abolished. The ab
olition of tho death penalty has been
moved by experience to be injurious
in every respect.

that the Attorney General, Mr. Bates,
has given the opinion to President
Lincoln that the revcuuo cannot be

refused to take the required oath. It
is not definitely known wliat course
Gov. Houston will adopt. He liasissued
an ad Ji ess to the people of Texas, dat
ed Austin, March lOtli, in which ho re
views the whole course of tlie Conven
tion, and protests against its every act.
The Legislature was to meet on tlie
18th, and it was thought lie would
transmit to that body a message simi
lar lo this address. Many predict how
ever, that tlio Legislature would refuse
to recognize him as Governor of tlio
.State, lie having been deposed by the
Convention.
The Sloop Isabella, at Mobii.e.—
The Mobile papers bring us the par
ticulars of tho seizure of this vessel,
and the imprisonment and subsequent
discharge of the captain. It scents
that tlio vessel was, publicly ami with
out concealment, taking on supplies of
provisions for tlie United Sates fleet
off Pensacola, and that Gen. Bragg, in
command of the forces of the Confed
erate States at Pensacola, telegraphed
to Capt. Homer, commanding the Con
tinentals at Mobile, to have her stop
ped. The military seized tho vessel
md arrested and imprisoned Capt.
Jones in the Mobile guard-house. IIis
wife tlio next clay, sued out a writ of
habeas corpus for liis release, and the
question was tried before Hon. C, W.
Rapier, Judge of the Circuit Court.—
Tho sheriff at first stated to the court
that tlie chief police refused to obey
the writ, hut ,tiio last-named officer
soon appeared with the prisoner and
apologis 'd for Iris delay, stating that as
the captain was accused of a violation
ot military law, and had been placed
in Iris custody Ly Capt. Homer, ho
hardly knew how to proceed or whose
jurisdiction to recognize. Tlio ques
tions involved were, whether a state of
war existed, which would justify the
prevention of taking supplies to tlio
fleet; whether Gen. Bragg's jurisdic
tion extended to Mobile; and whether
tho prisener had committed an offence
against tlie Confederate States justify
ing his imprisonment. The Govern
ment not being ready for the trial on
Friday, tlio prisoner was allowed bail
in $500 until Saturday, 12 m., which
time was set for tlie hearing. On Sat
urday, the trial resulted in the discharge
of Capt. Jones, and tlio Register ex
presses the opinion that the damages
sustained will have to he looted by tlie
Government. We are not informed by
any order made made in reference to
the vessel and supplies, hut presume
that they are still hold by the militaiy
authority of the Confederate States.—

A Border State Conference.—We
sec that there Is on foot a project to get
up a Border State Conference at Frank

Very Wicked.—The World newspa

They cleared the Union farm togodder.

Look away, look away, look away !
Dixie Land,
IVn I wish I was iu Dixie, hooray,

But by and by, as they grow up bigger,
They bofT fall heir to one old nigger ;
But Doodle come so Puritanic,
Ho took a fit of nigger-panic.
Look aw ny !
And he dream one night the Devil tell him:
Your stock so lmd, you’d better sell him ;
So he trade old Sambo to his brudder,
And swore he would’ut own a nudder.
hook away!
The deacon patted the Yankee’s shoulder.
And prayed a curse on the pocr sla\o-
h older,
The gold slid down in the Yankee’s pocket,
His eye dance juber iu its socket.
Look away !
Still Yankee and his Doodle brudder,
And Sambo, live and work tvgedder,
And Yankee turn kit money oher,
And eat and drink of Sambo's labor.
Look away!
But yoars gone by, his conscience Visin’,
lie dream bin gold was turned to pinin’,
The deacon come and try to arrange it,
Ho go to Bank and there exchange it.
Look away!
Says he—“your yankeo conrcisncc stifle!
Just buy this Bible and Sharp’s rifle,
Go help the Saints of Abe olishun,

Look away !
“Come pay your tithes;* cried holy JircrJnr,
“You ought, you know, to pay 'the preacher,
Uphold the interests of tho nation,—

Look away!
So all the saints in discussation,
Doeide for Yankee’s soul's salvation,
Ho cannot own a slave plantation,
Or learning darkens Revclushun.
Look away!
So Yankee and his brudder parted,
Yankee almost broken-hearted;
But still ho show no signs of grievin',
’Til he saw old Sambo leavin’.
Look away !
Now Yankee’s conscience—qualms am easy:
Old Sambo lib so fat aud greasy;
And uiassii l)avia t Yankee’s brudder,
Take Yankee’s broad and all his butter.,
Look away \
But Dario feel commiserashun,
For his brudder’s situashunj
Of all dc stock ho leave a portion—
He let him ride old Abe-olishun.
Look away!

To keep us all from disunitin',
Look away!
But ho know full well that'll never do,
He’d better trust to Spalding's Glue,
In peace ho gin us seven States,
In war he’d Link-on seven mates.
Look away!

To cotton land I’m bound to travel.

LOAN FOR THE DEFENCE

T HE undersigned bave been requested by
tho Secretary of the Treasury of H 10
Confederate States of North America, ns Com
missioners for the State of Georgia, to bring
forward in said State, five millions of tlio
loan of fifteen millions of dollars, recently
tliorized by Act of Congress. For the pur
pose of affording an opportunity to all who
may be willing to take a part of this loan,
wo propose to have books opened on the I7th
day of April next, at the following points,
and at such other places us wc may hereafter
designate, viz: Savannah, Augusta, Maccn,
Columbus, Atlanta, Millcdgeville, Athena
and Rome.
Special notice of the place where the Books
will be opened, and of the persens appointed
f,,r this purpose, at each of these points, will
be in due time given. Below we submit a
statement from the Secretary, which in eon-
ion with the Act, is plainly explanatory
ol the nature and character of the loan.—
Anil we express tlie confident hope, that our
fellow citizens will approve of this direct ap
peal to the people, rather than to foreign
capitalists, lor the means of carrying on our
new Government; and that all possessed of
tho moans will feel it their duty to avail
themselves ol an opportunity which enables
tiiemto make an entirely sale and profitable
investment, and ut the same time, contribute
aid to the cause of patriotism and their
country. EBEN’Il STARNES,)

had. The interest is at EIGHT PER CENT,
per annum, payable every six months at all
our principal cities.
The debt has tho very unusual and impor
tant security of a duty of one-t ight of a
cent per pound, or about 62 cents per halo,
on all cotton exported. This duty, under all
circumstances, of peace or war, secures the
punctual payment of the interest, and fur
nishes a sinking fund for the redemption of
the principal. The coupons, when due, are
receivable inpayment of the duty on cotton,
and are thus made available as coin, every
where in our country. In order to enable
all portions of our people to take a part of
this valuable investment, and to exhibit
their common interest in raising funds for
the common defence, hooks of subscription
will be opened at the cities and principal in
terior towns; five per cent, must bo paid iu
cash at the time of subscription, and the re
mainder on or before the 1st of May—inter
est to run from the date of such payment.—
Persons desiring to secure their subscriptions
may pay in cash the whole amount, and tako
a receipt for tho delivery of bonds or stock.
To equalize tho rate ol subscription at all
points, and to enable all persons convenient
ly to subscribe, current bank notes ot the
place will be received at their market value
coin.
In case of an over subscription, preference
will be given first to those who pay down
tlieir whole subscription; next to subscribers
of $50; next to subscribers of $100.
