Tbe breaking up of ibe Encampment of Camp
Oglethorpe, near itlncon, May 4th, 1S44.
The tents are struck—no more we see,
The camp flags fluttering on high;
No more is heard the song of glee,
As night falls softly from the sky.
Vanish’d the musket’s gleam,—and gone
The flash of sword,—the ware of plume;
And where the tent lamps often shone.
Fast gathers now the forest gloom 1
Those spirits warm, who met to learn
The aoldier'a duty, asd.y part;
But parting—feel within them burn.
A flame that springs from heart to heart.
Kindness was full—unrestrain’d—unbound;
It seem'd to float upon the air;
It seem d to blend with ev'ry sound;
In ev'ry thought appear'd to share I
Who can forget those lovely eyes.
That ay oke a welcome in each glance j
Who think of moon, or starry akies,
Wrapt in the spell of Beauty's trance ?
Not soon forgotten, will be all
Felt in that brief—but joyous stream;
Remembrance on the heart will fall—
Brightly, and sweetly as c dream.

Democratic Meeting in Pntnnm.
EATONTON, April 20th, 1844.
At a meeting of a portion of the Democratic psrty of Put
nam county, at the Court House in Eatonton, this dsy, for
the purpose of adopting incipient measures, for the organiza
tion of a Democratic Association, General Robert Bledsoe,
was called to the Chair, and Nathan Bass, requested to act
Errata.
fiy an oversight, that part of the following para-
.jgph, which is in italics, was omitted, in Mr.
I'liv's letter on the Annexation Question, which
«ill be found on the first page of to-day’s paper.
The reader will discover tire omission at a glance: at Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been explained, on mo
rion. the following resolution was adopted :
Resolved, That a Committee of thirteen, be appointed by
the Chairman, in report such measures to this meeting, ms
may he deemed advisable, for its adoption.
Whereupon, Wiriiam Turner. Nathan Bn.., John B.

Gentlemen—Subsequent to my (lepnriure from
jltUanil. in December last, I received various com-
ntnications from popular assemblages and private
itiwdva's, requesting an expression of my opinion
the question of the Annexation of Texas to the
['sited States. I have forborne to reply to them,
faause it teas not very convenient, during the pro-
t ,fts of my journey, to do so, and for other reasons,
jjid not think it proper, unnecessarily, to introduce
H present a new element among the other exciting
Ejects which agitate and engross the public mind,
fit rejection of the overture of Texas, some years
uo, to become annexed to the U. States, had met
nth general acquiescence. Nothing had since occur-
| ltd materially to vary the question.

Correspondence of the Feto York Journalrf Commerce.
Washington, D. C.. April 9, 1844.
To a proper understanding of the estimate herewith sub
mitted. a hewing the value nt the exports and imports of Eas
tern Texas into and from the United States, which for rea
sons that will be made obvious, are not to be found in any
official Statistics, it will be necessary as a preliminary, to
make a few explanatory remarks.
That portion of Texas lying East of the Trinity, and mare
particularly that range of -rountiei contiguous and adjacent to
the Sshine'and Red Rivers, is familiarly known as -East
ern Texas," in contradistinction to the Southern and Wes*
tern sections of Texas lying upon tbe Gulf of Mexico and
West of the Trinity River.
By referring to a late map of Texas it will be perceived,
that “Eastern Texas” embraces the counties of Jefferson,
Jasper, Sabine, San Augustine, Nacogdoches. Shelby. Har
rison. Bowie. Red River. Fannin and Latnar. A glance at
the map will shew that the surplus produce ot these counties
must necessarily seek the navigation of this Sabine or Red
River for transportation to a market, and return of supp ie*
Owing to the difficulties of the navigation of the Sabine,
the whole exports and imports of these counties, with few
exceptions, are transported upon the waters of Red River,
of which trade New Orleans is the natural emporium.
Eastern Texas is by for the most closely settled portion
of Texas, and extensively engaged in the culture of cotton,
which is the only staple exported from the country. The
reason why the imports and exports of Eastern Texas do
not enter into the aggregate of the cuinmercial statistics of
Texas, will be resdily understood, when it is known that no
duties are paid upon goods and merchandise introduced by
the planters into Eastern Texa*.” So also, when it is known
that the TI. S. have but two Revenue officers, stationed at
isolated points on Red River, entrusted with the protection «f
this whole frontier and possessing no extraordinary powers
ofubiquity.it will not be expected thattlieycaneniure lhaiall
•the Texas Cotton introduced into the United States through
a frontier of 1500 miles in extent will neressanly pass into
the New Orleans Custom House. -Probably Jibs of the
whole crop of Texas cotton brought for shipment to the
banks of Red River, goes to N*w Orleans as < f the gh-owth
of the United States. Heuce there are no official statistic*
in Texas or in the United States, shewing the amount of
this reciprocal commerce.
Houston Superior Courts
.flair Term, 1844*
Present hit Honor Edward D. Tract, Judge.
T HE Grand Jury sworn, chosen and selected for the
present term of the Court, beg leave to make the
following presentment.
In examining the books of thn Clerk of the Inferior
Comt and Countv Treasurer, we take pleasure in re
porting them tu he neatly and correctly kept; but we
regret to notice much negligence on the pnrtofthe Jus
tices of the (V ice in making prompt returns of the sales
ol'estrays, as the delay sometimes subjects the Grand
Jury to cuosiderttble difficulty in the exuininutiuu of the
Estmy Book.
Wt- recommend to the Judges ol the Inferior Court to
levy an extra tax for nil necessary repairs of the Court
House, to reader it comfortable, with strict attention to
economy in the expenditure fur that purpose.
.A nuisance which requires removal, is the impunity
with which the public romls nre changed or moved at
the option of the owners of the land through which they
pass, and often obstructed so as to render them impas
sable. The moving ot thn roads upon frivolous reasons
we present ns a grievance, and call the attention of tbe
Inf-iior Court to the evil. The alteration of the road
leading from Fort Valley to Macon, made by Benjamin
II. Gray, w-e present as n grievance- And in connec
tion with this subject, we are forced to notice rite inat
tention of the road commissioners to the enforcement of
the road laws.
We likewise recommend to the Inferior Court, in pur
suance of mu act of th* Inst legislature, to levy an extra
tux for the education of the poor.
In taking leave of his Honor Judge Tracy, we tender
him our sincere thanks for (lie ability, impartiality and
patience, that he has manifested during the present
term of the court. Also to Solicitor Geueral Wingfield,
for the ability with which he hns-dischat'ged his duties,
and the courtesy extended to this body.
We request that our presentments be published in the
Macon Messenger and Telegra;rh.

This i* the only basis on which to found a probable esti
mate of the value of the exports of Eastern Texas into the
United States for the year 1843.
The imports into Eastern Texas from theU. 8. will per-
haps more than equal the value of tbe exports of Eastern
Texas into the U- States, which will be chiefly comprised
in the following articles, to wit—
Flour, iron, bagging and rope, farmingntenstl* oral! kinds,
domestic goods, both entton and wool en, of all kinds, and
hats boots and shoes, readv-made clothing, sugar, molasses,
rice Ac In short, all the articles necessary to supply the
first wants of an agricultural people settling in a new country.
The onlv articles of foreign impomttnn. not grown or
manufactured in the United Slates, and which enter largely
into consumption with the people of Texas, are tbe s.-ticles
of coffee and salt. Nineteen-twentieths of the imports ol
Eastern Texas, ncces.arily are the product* and manufac
tures of tbe United States.
I am. very truly, your °bedientrervnnt. HAyDEN>

Texas, who go for free trade, renders Revenue laws in
