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.

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. The Sumter Republican comes to us in a new suit —the result, as we are pleased to see, of increasing strength and pros perity. It makes a very neat appear ance. 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.

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.

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 -) federation. 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.

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 !

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 caster Whig i Itortisemcnts. !
