Tbxas ; Her Resource? and her politic
men. By J. D. Cordova. Lippencott
& Fhiludelphia.
We have receiv*d a copy of ttiis work
from the publishers, and from a hur
• lamination we have no hesitation
* Unsaying it is a valuable book, for all res
idents or property-holders in Texas, or
those designing to emigrate to a new
country, but have not decided on the
location. There is a vast amount of
statistical and Biographical information
in this work, of interest to all who
would acquire a knowledge of that new
and progressive country. Texas is the
youngest of our Southern sisters, but
she is far from being the least Her in
crease in population for the last 15 or
20 years has scarcely ever been equal
led. The extent of her territory, the
fertility of the land, her situation ant
climate, renders her future greatness
Certain. The information this hook af
fords, is just what the emigrant needs.
It lays before him the entire State,
with descriptions of particular locali
ties. It is a guide in selecting a loca
tion, and tells him how to reach any
desired point. The war of her indepen
dence is of so recent a date, and the ac
tors in that heroic struggle having
come from almost every district in the
Southern States, there is hardly a man
who had not a friend or relation engag
ed. and the biographical notes of the
public men of Texas,given in this book,
will find an interested reader in almost
every family. B'or sale by TllO9. Rich

The Macon Telegraph announces the
death of Dr. M. A. Franklin, widely
known as one of the most eminent, use
ful and influential citizens of Macon—
an accomplished gentleman—an elegant
scholar—a skillful and deeply read phy
sician. He expired after a long and
painful struggle with pulmonary dis
ease, last Saturday morning. He was
buried on Sunday.

Mount Vernon to be Pnrchiiwd.
The Richmond Enquirer of Saturday
publishes the correspondence between
“ A Southern Matron ” and John A.
Washington, from which we infer that
the transfer of Mount Vernon to the la
dies of Mount Vernon Association, is
bow a fixed fact. Theevidence of this,
lays the Enquirer , will be laid before the
public as soon as certain necessary le
gal preliminaries can be arranged.—
About the 12th of March “ A Southern
Matroa ’ addressed a letter to Mr.
Washington, informing him that the
bill providing for the purchase of Mount
Vernon by Virginia, had been defeated
in the House of Delegates, in the name
and on behalf of the Mount Vernon As
sociation renewing the offer of the la
dies to purchase the place. Heretofore,
says Mr. Washington in bis response of
March 19th, he has only been willing
to dispose of Mount Vernon to the Uni
ted States or to Virginia, as he believes
that in the hands of one or the other, it
would be better protected and preserved
than in the possession of any individual
or association. Tire events of the past -
seven years, however, says Mr. Wash
ington, seem to indicate that neither i
Virginia nor the United States, wish to ]
acquire the place. Under these circum- 1
stances,and believing that after the two |
highest powers in our countiy, the wo !
men of the land will be the safest—as '
they will certainly be the purest guard- ]
ians of a national shrine—Mr. Wash- 1
Ington is willing so far to comply with 1
“ A Southern Matron’s” request, as to
await for a reasonably limited period of
time the propositions she wishes to
make to him on behalf of the Associa
tion, over which she presides. Mr.
Washington closes with the assurane*
that unless these proposals are in con
listent with what he believes to be hit
duties upon the occasion, he shall be
inclined to give them the most favora
ble consideration.
The Hamburg and Edgefield Plank

The Edgefield Advertiser in an article

•ays:
Wc have therefore, in common with
many othera, tolerated its bad manage
ment from time to time, ever hoping
that an early amendment of all defects
would take place. But we have waited
Btiii in vain. The thing has grown
worse and worse, until now its abomin
able condioD is too censurable to merit
eithei patience or forbearance. It has
become a vexation almost intolerable.

Correspondence of the Charleston Standard.
Washington, April 2, 1858. j
Messrs. Editors.— The substitute passed (
by the House of Representatives yester- ]
day for the Senate Kansas bill, received i
the unanimous vote of the Black Repub
lican party. And Oh ; that the Ameri- ,
can Senate would view the question as
the future historian will, aud accept
the substitute of the House without ,
crossing aI or dotting an i. It would i
be the death warrant of the slavery agi- ;
tationon this continent, and would an |
nihilate the Republican party. They i
know this, but they risked the issue,
feeling confident the Senate would re- i
ject the substitute and thus save them ,
from destruction.
The great principal for which the j
South has always contended has been ,
the recognition of the right of a new ,
State to admission into the Federal Un- i
ion, with or without slavery, as the peo i
pie to be governed might determine for (
themselves. The Lecompton conetitu- ;
lion was only a partial recognition ot |
this great principal. Had the Sena'e
bill been adopted by the House, it would
have been the admission that new States
could enter the Union witli constitu- (
tions not more objectionable than that |
particular one was. But what has the ,
Black Republican party acknowledged ,
and fully recongniscd’ by their vote ,
yesterday ? All. yes! all the South ,
has never asked —the right of the new ,
State to a carte blanche in forming her
fundamental law. The substitute yes
terday was the first full and unlimited
recognition of this right by the North.
Yesterday it was voted that Kansas
should enter the Union under the Le
Compton Constitution, should that
prove to be the choice of the people of
tlie Territory—or if not, she should
conic in with just such a Constitution
: as she might choose to make without
any restriction whatever on the subject
i of slavery. Could a principal be more
1 fully recognized and acknowledged ? 1
say it could net, and now would be the
time for the American Senate to rivet
i* the shackles with which Slavery agita
: tion has bound itself, and secure a tri-
umph which would silence now and for !
ever this dangerous and exciting sub
ject. Old man Giddings, in casting his
vote for the substitute, yesterday, said
he only did it “by the grace of God,” as
he knew it gave the lie to his whole re
cord. He was overpersuoded, and in
duced to believe that the substitute
would be killed by the Senate and thus
his own political life would be spared.
Under the Senate Bill the new State
might vote upon the Constitution iin
mediately, apd alter and amend to suit
the people ; —but the subject was taken
from the hands of CoDgress. Under the
substitute the subject it also made local
■ - and the people are permitted to alter
and amend or create anew as they ma>
deem proper, i hen there is no practi
cal difference between the two Bil s—
only tire Rub titute of the House, as 1
Raid before, 16 a more complete recogni
lion of the right <>f the people to frame
thrir organic law to sait themselves, and
their right to come into the Union, with
or without slavery, as they may deem
propel.
The Southern men all admit the cor
rectness of the views I have here ex
pressed, and yet I fear there will bepar
tyism enough to defeat the passage of
any ®ll. If the Democrats will but al
ter but a line or a word of the substi
tute, the Black Republicans will rejoice,
for then they will deny the Bill and
tack about, hoping to avoid the conse
quences of their vote yesterday. This
should not be allowed them. They
should be held strictly to the record
they have made, and by it should be
made to stand in all after time, or at
least so long as there was any one of
that party left to curse their countiy.

000 Paid into tine Treasury*
The Federal Union learns that the
debts due by the Road, so far as discov
ered, have been paid by dr. Lew is, the
present energetic and faithful Superin
tendent, and that from tiiis time for
ward he will he able to make monthly
payments of the nett earnings of the
Road into the Treasury. On Wednesday
last, Col. Trippe, the State Treasurer,
received from the Treasurer of the Road
$20,000 in cash. We are informed that
the Superintendent has purchased new
iron for some four or five miles of the 1
Pioad, and is having it laid down, and
the track thoroughly repaired, wherev- ]
er repairs are needed. Gov. Brown's!
order is that the Road be kept in first!
rate condition. If the Superintendent
can do this, and keep the road out of
debt, and can pay regularly some sls
or $20,000 per mouth of clear cash into
the Treasury, the people will begin to i
appreciate both the value of the Road j
and the value of the services of such a ;
Superintendent. Should no great casual
ty happen to the Road, such as injury i
from Hoods or the burning of bridges,
we have no doubt we shall be able to
announce to our readers monthly pay
ments in future.
With such men as Dr. Lewis, Dr.
Phillips aud Col. May at the head of its
affairs, the people have sufficient guar
anty that proper economy will be used
and every dollar made by the ltoad
faithfully accounted for.

Later from Texas.
Gen. Twiggs, accompanied by Dr.
McCormick, left San Antonio on a short
furlough, and before his return may
visit New York and Washington—ex
pecting to return sometime in the
month of April. During his absence
Col. Henry Wilson, 7th Infantry, will
have command of this military depart
ment.
The prospect for the grain and fruit]
crops, in Western Texas, is reported as:
remarkably good. The San Antonio
Herald says that more than two weeks j
ago, on the Medina, there were fields of
corn more than a foot high. The stands)
are remarkably good. The peach and j
plum trees are overloaded with young
fruit. The last frost did no damage.
The Telegraph states that in 1844 the
commerce of the city of Houstou con
sisted in the exporting of about 5,009]
bales of cotton, 9,000 hides and 25,000|
pounds of peltries, making an aggregate
of about $175,000. The sales of mer
chandise were about $150,000. Now
the commerce consists of exporting 90,-
000 bales of cotton, 30,000 hides, and
other produce valued ut $50,000. The
aggregate value of its exports is about
three aud a half millions of dollars.
I) >ld Mall Robbery.
On Saturday night last, when the ears
going up from the city were about amile
beyond Auburn, the mail car was
wrenched open and the Atlanta pouch
extracted and thrown on the side of the
road, where it was found rifled of its
contents. It contained a large number
of letters, and from some of these,
which the rogues left on the ground, it
is supposed a pretty smart haul of mo
ney was made. Os courso the robber;
left this point on the cars, or got on j
them at some of the upper stations, for j
the purpose of committing this robbery, j
and doubtless had a confederate station
ed at the place where the pouch was j
thrown out. This is an entirely new
game in this section. — Montgomery Coil -)

Mysterious Murder.
No little excitement prevails in New
: York, in consequence of the discovery
; of a dead body of a young man, in the
water, foot of Beckman street, East
River, with a stone weighing 50 pounds
lashed to his back. His breast exhibit
ed a wound from some instrument, w ith
which he must have been stabbed to the
heart.
Deceased was genteelly dressed in a
suit of black. His pockets were turned
inside out, thus showing that robbery
must have been the object of his mur
derers. A watch fob had escaped the
notice of the wretches, and in this was
discovered the daguerreotype likeness
of a young lady. The general impres
sion is, that the deceased was the vic
tim of river pirates, or gartoters.
The proprietor of the Augusta Disparch
is certainly an energetic, enterprising
man. He is determined to make his
paper worthy of the patronage of his
subscribers. It is decidedly an interes
ting and well-edited sheet, and always
has the latest news. The subscription
price is low—four dollars for the daily,
and a dollar and a half only for the

r g|P Th o Great P r ohlem
Solved !—DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR-
I 151 AL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
i has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
‘ course of this extraordinary tonic.. The gastric
! fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
• paralyzed aud unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength ai,»l health.
i The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-dolojrenx
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
i paralysis, phonic down and dispirited by that
' terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
! nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
i or disability arisingfrom the unnaluralcondition !
; of the wonderful machinery which connects ev- \
[ cry member with the source of sensation, mo.
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
i from the use of this Cordial, w’/ich atoncccalms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
j organization.
I Females who have tried it are unanimous in
j declaring the Elixir to he the greatest boon that
! woman has ever received from the hards of
medical men.
i j Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
. j mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
' i While it renews the strength of the digestive
‘ ! powers it creates a desire for the solid material
j which is to be subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it has no equal in the Pliarmacopia.
| If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
• 'joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
! precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either j
| sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
! wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
! man of business, the victim of nervous depres-;
j sion, the individual suffering from general de- j
! bility or from the weakness of a single organ ;
j will all find immediate and permanent relief from
i the use of this incomparable renovator. To
I those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
I will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
| against that terrible m ilady. There are many
; perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu- J
! tion that they think themselves beyond the reach j
!of medicine. Let not even those despair. The;
! Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
! lerence to the causes, aud will not only remove j
| the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
j stitution

6#” A .Liver Remedy.-We!
wish to say to every person who reads tins that }
there is an ttrticle known as Dr. Sanford's In- ■
vigor a tor, or Liver Remedy, which can be relied
On as certain to cure liver complaint in any of
its forms, such as Jaundice, Pyspepsia, and nu
merous other Complaints, described in another
column, besides which it is one of the greatest
preparations or cures for consumption, taken in
early stages, that is now known.
Wo take it lor granted, as experiment has prr
ven that diseases of tt e lungs are not generally
the first cause of consumption, but a debilitated
system, caused by the improper action of the
liver, which reduces the power of the lun s to
resist or throw off diseases caused by cold and
irritation, leaving the lungs at the mercy of this
disease, because the liver has incapacitated
them from performiug their proper action *1
throwing off diseased matter caused by cold.
! Thus to prevent consumption, cure the livei
and keep tho system strong enough to throw off
slight diseases ol tho lungs.
There is not in the world a better liver reme
dy or a cure for debilitated system than Dr.
Sanford’s Invigorator, for it has been fully tried
j in a large and extended practice till its results
j are fully known, and now it la offered as a tried
remedy, and one that can be relied on.—Lan
