Upon returning home, however, his views
underwent a sudden changci and lie entered
the lists against his former competitor. Gov.
Runnels.
The Stato Rights party of Texas started an
unnecessary and disnetrous issue. They made
the re-opening of the slave trade the great
question in the election, dividing their own
party and driving off many. The speeches of
the canvass were filled chiefly with this subject.
Houston saw his advantage,* mounted the op
position, and lias ridden to victory over those
who, on State Rights grounds, aud resistance
to Northern aggression, had beaten him to the
earth by overwhelming odds. To the advan-
tage given him by this issue, were added the
memories of the past, which completed the
work of bis success.

The States Right party of Texas have bro'
defeat upon themselves by making an imprae
ticable and mischievous issue. Let it be a les
son to be remembered. The people ot the
South should be informed ou the subject; but
to make it matter for voting, and a bring issue,
dividing our people, is a foolish and fatal move.
Let the subject be considered calmly and tho
roughly sifted by discussion merely. When
the South is in a position to act on it, it will be
time enough to make it an issue. But until

Letter from Canada.
Dear Bro. Botkin : Before leaving
Quebec, I received an invitation to ac
company three friends to Lalco St.
Charles. Having heard of the beauty
of the place, I gladly accepted their
proposal. The distance from Qnebec
to the lake being twelve miles, and
tbc road lying across the' hills, it was
deemed advisable to start early, so,
shortly after daybreak we commenced
onr journey.
The morning was beantiful, the air
coming from the mountains cool and
bracing, and the new-mown hay scat
tered its fragrance around. There had
been a thnuder storm the evening pre-
vions, and rain sufficient to allay the
dust having fallen, made the driving
pleasant. Many cottages, gleaming
throngh tlio trees by the roadside, were
passed, and bands of French Canadian
men and women going to work were
met. We had been traveling in a di
rect line from the city, but soon came
to a cross road along the hill-top from
the summit of which we beheld a splen-
1 did prospect.
Beneath ns lay fields of ripening
grain and sweet-scented clover, all la
den with dew ; every field having a
different shade of green, the prospect
had a variegated appearance. The no
ble St. Lawrence, smooth and clear as
a looking glass, flowing to the ocean,
between the mountains,stretched away
to the eastward. Qnebec lay before

Letter from Ex-President Pierce.
The citizens of the town of Chelmsford
(Mass.) propose to erect n monument in honor
of the Revolutionary heroes of that place, and
had made arrangements for the inauguration
on the -1th of July. Unforseen obstacles hav
ing arisen, the ceremony lias been postponed
to the 22d of September. In anticipation of
the event, they invited Ex-President Pierce to
be present and received the following reply
Lanoem Swalbacb, )
Duchy of Nassau, June 2,1859.)
My dear Sir: I thank yon cordially for
your kind letter of the 13th of April, which
reached Rome after my departure, was return
ed to Paris, and only came to me yesterday.—
This reply will not, perhaps, be received be
fore the day designated for the inauguration
of the monument to be erected, “upon the
green in the village of Old Chelmsfordi” but
however this may be, my heart will be there
with its warmest and best sympathies- When
that morning arrives, find me where it may, I
shall say, well done, sons and grand-sons,
daughters and grand-daughters of the Revo
lutionary mea of Old Chelmsford. You mark
tho anniversary of the Declaration of Indcpen
dcncc in a manner most befitting, when you
seize it as tbc day on which to inaugurate a
monument to tho memory of your fathers, who
defended that Declaration with their blood.
I have sometimes trembled for the future of
my country as 1 have seen thc_ gallant, self-
sacrificing men who nchiovod indopondonoo,
step one by one from the theatre of their trials
and triumphs, until not one probably remains
who participated iu the opening conflict.—
While they moved among us the bond of na
tional brotherhood was strong, and recognized
no limits but those of the Union. They knew
and felt what the institutions of our noble, uni
ted country cost, and what was required to pre
serve them. They cherished an habitual rev
erence for tho Constitution, and yielded n
cheerful obedience to all its requirements and
to all laws enacted to carry them into faithful
execution. They wisely deferred to the au
gust tribunal established to decide ultimatcly
questions which might arise, involving consti
tutional right and obligation. It will always
be said of them that they were strong-minded,
stout-hearted, practical. Union-loving men.—
From tho North to the South they had fought
shoulder to shoulder in tho common cause, and
the comprehensive and unselfish patriotism
which nerved their arm* for the struggle,
warmed their hearts, and inspired their minds
during the deliberation which resulted, under
the providence of God, in the establishment of
the admirable system which has secured to
their descendants a degree of individual free
dom andhapiness, and of national prosperity
and advancement, without a parallel in the his
tory of our race. How universally they cher
ished and loved every sentiment of the I-are-
well Address of the Father of his Country!—
They found in it, forcibly expressed, tho views
and principles which guided them through life,
and which they hoped might never cease to
command the regard and confidence of their
children. As their words will never again be
addressed to our cars, it is well that we omit no
means, to honor their memory, to quicken our
appreciation of their lessons of wisdom, and to
keep alive our admiration of their services and
virtues. ... „ . .
The connexion in which you allude to my
venerated father revives in my mind many
pleasing recollections which had been dormant
foryeara. His attachment to the Chelmsford
people always struck nm as peculiarly strong,
especially so, as he had never resided there for
any length of time after he was sixteen years
old, when, immediately after tho announce
ment of the battle of Lexington, he jo.nod the
army I observed among tho names appended
to the prospectus for the monument, several
which wero frequently mentioned by him, and
infer that the signers are sons or grand sons
of tbc friends of his youth. I hope hereafter
to know more of them personally.
As late as 1824 there were on one occasion
assembled around my father’s table. I '
officers and soldiers who served in the Revolu
tion. They were then all resident* of the
town, and 14 of them were in the battle of
Bunker Hill. Several of the number, I am
quite certain, "crenatives of Middlesex «un-
ty. They have all passed away, but I triis
that Hillsborough may be
descendants on an occasion which they cannot
fail to recrard with much interest. . ,
I enclose herewith, a check for $50, which
vou will please to place in the hands of the
committee as a contribution to the monument.

A Reporter’s Joke.
Morgan O'Sullivan, an Irishman, and n cel
ebrated Parliamentary reporter, attached to
tho London Morning Chronicle some fifty years
ago, was as remarkablo for his humor as bis
professional ability. Whenever any one of
fended Morgan, or got out of favor with him,
lie invariably retaliated in tho way of some
practical joke, that generally placed his an
tagonist in a very ridiculous position, and af
forded the humorist satisfaction. In this way
he once “got even” with two individuals at the
same time, who had excited his ire—namely,
the celebrated Wilberforce, then a leading
member of the opposition in Parliament, and
one Jack Finnerty, a parliamentary reporter
of the Morning Herald. Finnerty was fresh
from-Tipperary, and quite unacquainted with
the characteristics of the different members of
Parliament, but he received a good deal of
generous professional assistance at the outset
of his career from Morgan O’Sullivan. On
the occasion now referred to, Finnerty came
into the reporter's gallery, at a period of the
night when the debates seemed to have slack
ened; he concluded to take a doze on one of
the benches, and requested his friend to wake
him up if anything lively came before the
house, and thereupon went off to sleep. Pre
sently. Mr. Wilberforce got upon his legs, and
addressed a very thrjlling speech before the
house.
As he progressed, a mischievous idea seized
Morgan O’Sullivan, which, as soon as Wilber-
forgp sat down, he proceeded to put in practice,
thus: Rousing Finnerty from his slumber on
the bench, O'Sullivan exclaimed, ‘Jack, Wilber
force has just made an extraordinary speech.”
“What about?” returned Finnerty, rubbing
his eyes, “About the potato; the effect of it
on national vivacity,—the great virtues of it
as an article of popular diet; proved that the
finest kind of men were reared on it, far supe
rior to the English.” "Wilberforce said that,
did he ?” exclaimed Finnerty; “come let me
take his remarks in full from your notes.”—
“With pleasure, my dear fellow," replied O'
Sullivan, who commenced as if reading from a
note book, whilst Finnerty eagerly wrote af
ter him in the following vein: “Mr. Wilber
force then emphatically remarked, that it al
ways appeared to him beyond question, that
tho great cause why the Irish laborers, as a
body, were so much stronger, and capable of
enduring so much more fatigue than the Eng
lish, arose from the surpassing virtues of their
potato. “That’s what I call eloquence,” inter
rupted Jack Finnerty. Morgan resumed,
“Aud I have no doubt, (continued Mr. Wilber-
fofee) that had it been roy lot to have been
born and reared in Ireland, where my food
would have principally consisted of that inesti
mable root, instead of being the poor, infirm,
shrivelled and stunted creature you, sir, and
honorable gentlemen now behold me, I would
have been a stout, athletic, handsome man.
able to carry an enormous weight. “Well
done, Wilberforce,” cried Jack, rubbing liis
hands in high glee; “go on Morgan.” O’
Sullivan then proceeded in the same vein of
pathos and absurdity, but adroitly keeping
within the bounds, that Finnerty’s credulity
would swallow, until he had placed a most
whimsical speech in the mouth of the grave
and earnest Wilberforce. Finnerty, with ma
ny expressions of thanks to his brother report
er, started for the Herald office.
On bis way. turning into a tavern close
by the House of Commons, where a number of
reporters of the different morning papers were
regaling themselves, here Jack furnished them
all with copies of "Wilberforce’s Speech,” and
the hoax found its way the next morning into
every paper in London, with the exception of
the Morning Chronicle, to which, as a matter
of course, the correct report was furnished by
O’Sullivan. The public were astounded at
the extraordinary speech which, according to
all the papers, Mr. Wilberforce had made, and
the general opinion was expressed that he was
a candidate for Bedlam. The following eve
ning, on the speaker taking the chair, Wilber-
bertbree rose and claimed the indulgence of
the house. “Every honorable member,” be
observed, “has doubtless read the speech which
I am represented ns having made on the pre
vious night. With the permission of the house.
I will read it-” (Here the honorable gentle
man read the speech amidst the most deafen-
g roars of laughter.) “I can assure honor
able members that no one could have read
this speech with more surprise than I myself
did tiiis morning, when 1 found the paper on
the breakfast table. For myself, personally,
I care but little about it, though, if I were ca
pable of uttering such nonsense as is here put
into my mouth, it is hightimo that, instead ei
being n member of this bouse, I were au tn-
mstiTofsomc lunatic asylum. It is for the dig
nity of this house that I feel concerned, for if
the honorablo members were capable of listen
ing to such nonsense, supposing me capable of
giving expression to it, it were much more ap
propriate to call this a theatre for the perform
ance of farces, than a place for the legislative
deliberations of the representatives of the peo
ple.” This was only one of the many instan
ces in which Morgan O’Sullivan paid off, to his
heart’s content, members of Parliament and
other potential personages, who had, iu some
manner or other, provoked the waggish pro
pensities of this incurable humorist.
The Opposition Candidate lorGo-
VERNOR.
The Opposition Convention wnieh met in
Atlanta, on the 10th inst., nominatcd Warren
Aiken, Esq., of Cassvillc, as a candidate for
Governor.
Mr. Ailen, we suppose, will accept tue nomi
nation, and will doubtless make as good a run
as any man of his party, ns he is a gentleman
of fine character and of acknowledged ability,
but in our opinion it was considered merely as
a oartv measure, very bad policy to have nom
inated any body. But that is their bus,ness
and so far as we arc concerned they may fight
it out among themselves.—[Corner Stone.
the morning sun 6liining upon them,
gave the city a peculiarly bright ap
pearance. A more beautiful scene
than the one described I have seldom
witnessed.
"While continuing onr journey, we
met a Canadian wedding party in their
two-wheeled, one-horse vehicles. The
bride looked happy.
As we approached the lake the road
became rougher, and the ladies left
the carriage to pick wild raspberries
by the wayside. After the summit of
tho last hill had been reached, what a
lovely prospect appeared before ns!—
Throngh an opening in the mountains,
we beheld the blue waters of the peace
ful lake. ’Twas the calmness of the
scene that charmed ns. The little vil
lage was qniet, the moutams refreshed
with the evening’s rain, and to use the
words of Willis—
“ The waters slept.”
The blue sky above us where snow-
white clonds floated hither and thith
er, spread like a enrtain over the
scene. How appropriate then were
the words of the poet David!—how
natural for a Christian to use them!
“ Day unto day utteret* speech.”
After breakfast, two canoes lashed
together, with a couple of men to pad
dle them, were hired, and we spent the
greater part of the day in sailing about
the lake. While we were gliding
along, the old boatman halloed with
all liis might, and the echo changed
his rough cry into a low musical hal
loo, and sent it back, across the wa
ters. The ladies and boatmen were
left on a rock, while the gentleman
who planned the excursion, and myself
rounded an intervening point, and had
a bath; bnt the leeches that abound
ed there soon drove us from the water.
The scenery was so enchanting that
we were unwilling to leave it; but
there was no alternative.
About five o’clock, P. M., we start
ed for the city, and as the cottages on
the road were passed, we saw the
French-Canadiau laborers having their
heads adorned—(I knew by their com
placent looks that they thought so)—
with red cowls, or night caps, sitting
smoking contentedly at tho doors, or
enjoying their frugal suppers. *
v rhe same beautiful scene viewed by
ns in the morning, was rewitnessed
with this difference—instead of the ri
sing, we had the setting sun for an Il
luminator. You can paint tho scene
for yourself.
If it is allowable I would express
my gratitude to tho kind brother who
planned that delightful excursion;

"We arrived at Riviere Ouelle about
four o’clock, and after waiting a few
minutes crossed to Hurray Bay.—
Bain now began to fall, and the river
being quite rough, many unlucky per
sons became sea-sick; bnt river-sick
in their cases, might be the proper
name. The scenery was desolate
enongh, for the waves broke on the
rocky shore, and the rain driven by
the wind beat upon the deck, and drove
the passengers into the cabin. How
ever, we arrived safely at Riviere Du
louj), where n long line of vehicles
stretched along the wharf, waiting for
passengere from the boat. After Itav
ing received them they drove off in
the rain.
The steamer remained there till mid
night, then crossed the St. Lawrence,
and entered the month of the fan-famed
Saguenay. I arose about four oclock,
and fonnd that we had just reached
the rock-bound village of Tadomae.—
The sun had newly awoke, and the
friend, whose company was tho es
sence ot enjoyment? and sympathy
with the beautiful, true pleasure.
Ob Wednesday morning I had the
deasnre of meeting Dr. Baker, of Wil-
i&msbnrgli, with his two daughters, on
board tho 6tcamer Saguenay, and I
greatly enjoyed the pleasure of their
company till tho termination of my
journey—Ha! Ha! or Grand Bay, was
readied.
At 8 o’clock, A. M., the steamer
commenced her journey down the St.
Lawrence. The morning was threat
ening, and dark clouds wore gathering
above us, though ever and anon the
sun shone through thorn, and, by fall
ing on tho darkened waters and varie
gated scenery, produced lights and
shadows on a far grander scale than I
witnessed at the place alluded to in
my last letter. The white foam of
Hontmorenc {Rails soon became visi
ble on onr left, and having for a back
ground ranges of dark bine mountains,
then o 1 <Mill capped -a beautiful picture
was formed. The highly cultivated
Island of Nero Orleans was reached,
jassed, and left in the distance. Tho
jank of the river on the right side",
seemed to be a continuous line of vil
lages; and numerous chapels whose
spires rose high in the air, gave the
prospect a truly picturesque appear
ance.
After wo had dined, the wind chang
ed and blew freshly from the eastward,
then the schooners and larger vessels
that had lain at anchor, spread their
sails and embraced the opportunity to

Thus it is in life; and event causing in-
ury to one man, benefits another.—
There were a nnmber of Catholic
priests on board, and at a certain hour
in the afternoon they all began to read
their prayers, lifting up their eyes now
and again to look around and see what
was transpiring. I wondered whether
or no God heard them; it seemed to
me as if they were reading a lesson to
an invisible schoolmaster. How differ
ent from a confiding believer asking
first blink of his sleepy eyes, ere ho hou *® a,ld ScrBW -
himself had come forth from his bed
chamber, and appeared above the hor
izon, had dispelled the darkness that
brooded in unbroken silence over the
barren mountains that rose above the
river. The region between Tadonsae
and Ha! Ha! Bay, is totally uninhabi
ted. "When I saw, by the dim light
of early morning, in whatever direc
tion I looked, mountains rising above
mountains in endless succession till the
most distant seemed to touch the liori
zon, I longed to stand upon the high
est peak among them, and view a scene
never witnessed in a theatre— behold
the sun’s first ray stealing throngh the
darkness that shrouds deep valleys
never explored by man, and broods
over hills majestic in their loneliness
The waters of the Saguenay are al
most black as ink, and there being
fresh breeze blowing, every little wave
was foam-capped; the dark water, and
white foam contrasting with the bare
rock, and leafless trees, apparently
stuck in the crevices, for earth, where
they could grow, is not visible, formed
a strange scene.
For many miles the Saguenay has
no shore, for the gigantic rocks rise
perpendicularly from the water.—
Looking at a city, we think of man
beholding nature as I beheld her in all
her rugged grandeur, we think of God
Tho course of the river is so uneven
that the traveler when he takes a back
ward glance, often cannot see the open
ing throngh which the steamer passed
and looking forward he perceives no
way of egress, for the mountains ap
parently meet before him, and he thns
could readily imagine himself in a lake.
But we were approaching the most
deeply interesting place on tho Sague
nay—Rock Eternity,
In the distance, three divisions giv
ing separate summits to this vast, tho’
united pile, are distinctly seen; there
fore, the cove where the river flows in,
is named Cape Trinity. Tho suhlim-
ity of tho Beene must be witnessed to
be imagined. A rock,fifteen hundred
feet high, rearing aloft like a giant
among his fellows. The steamer when
passing it, looking insignificant as a
mote beside a mountain. The shrill
whistle sounded a salute to the rock,
and the distnrbed silence sent back
the echo. While a hundred wonder
ing eyes were raised to scan “Eternity’;
and a hundred awe-stricken faces turn
ed upwards, such exclamations as the
following were heard—“ Isn’t that
grand!” “IIow sublime!” “How
majestic!” What a sense of nothing
ness possessed me, as I looked upon
the towering pile! The idea of the
rock falling occurred to me, and I felt
as if I was an “ atom to infinity.”
It is aflirnffd that a one-thousand
fathom line dropped in the river at
this place, has failed to reach the bot
tom. IIow steadfastly immovable the
rock must be!—fifteen hundred feet
above, and perhaps miles below the
surface of the water. I saw then and
there, a faint type of tho everlasting
immutability of Jehovah. The son
was shining brightly, bnt under the
shade of that rock, we were shielded
from his rays. Emblem of tho blessed
Jesus, whose love to the mourning aud
“ heavy-laden” soul, is like “theshad-
ow of a great rock in a weary land.”
Bnt this description fails to do jus
tice to the subject, or my own feelings;
therefore, I say to all who desire to
view scenery, grand in its loneliness—
wildly beautiful in its rugge Iness
and majestic in its greatness—go to
the Saguenay.
Ha ! Ha! Bay came suddenly in
sight. The abruptness of its appear
ance to the early voyagers, caused them
to exclaim, “ Ha! ha!”; hence its
name. The steamer dropped anchor
opposite tho little village, the goods
and passengere were landed in a “ bat-
tean,” provided by Rob’t. Blair, Esq.,
of the above named place, and I, after
bidding iny dear friends on board adieu,
went ashore in a sail boat to meet my
mother, sister, and a host of dear rela
tives whom I had not seen for a whole
year. Yon can imagine the jest.
Good-bye. From yours,
RIVERDALE.
Great Hail Storm in Sew Hampshire.—A
letter dated North Sanbornton, N. H., July
27th, says: “We had a terrific thunder storm
accompanied with hail. About eighty panes
of glass were broken in the front of the house
—all the front rooms were deluged: there were
handfuls of big stones and glass flying every
where I suppose it did not last more than
five minutes: The stones averaged as large
as a robin’s egg. Everything of the vegetable
kind in our immediate neighborhood is killed.
The storm did not extend but a few miles.
Our wheat, corn, potatoes, garden vegetables
and apples are all gone. It is enough to make
any oue feel sick to look out of the windows—
the trees are all leafless—the grape-vines are
all gone, and every thing looks sad and fall
like. It is now the middle of the afternoon,
and there has not been heat enough in the sun
shine to melt the hailstones yet.”
Dreeisely So.—Somebody has said :
“It is not work that kills the man; it
is worry.”

A Word to Parents
ABOUT ROBERTS’ OOLIO MIXTURE FOR
INFANTS.
We. as sole agents for supplying the Trade, will
take the liberty of saying, that from our own person
al experience and knowledge, "Roberts* Colic Mix
ture for Infants” is one of the most valuable prepa
rations, for the purpose for which it is intended, that
we are acquainted with. We have used it for years
in our own families and recommend it to onr con-
nections, friends and neighbors. It is very prompt
in affording relief, and is decidedly preferable to all
other preparations of the kind, from the fact thai it
docs not produce those very deleterious consequen
ces that follow the exhibition ot other remedies con
aining Paregoric, uaudanum, Godfrey’s Cordial,
kc. The practice of dosing children and infants
witli strong opiates cannot be too strongly condemn
ed. and when the practice shall have been done a-
ly with, there will be less of mortality among them,
. .a instead of weak, sickly, cross and puny looking
children, fat, chnbby and laughing little faces will
greet us on every side. In families where remedies
of the kind are obliged to be resorted to, we wonid
advise a trial of this one.

250,000 Acres of Railroad
LANDS FOR SALE.
T HESE lands are composed of the alternate sec
tions on either side of the Pensacola & Geor
gia Railroad, granted by the United States and State
of Florida to aid in buildiDg this Road. Those now
offered are located on that part of tho line extend
ing from Tallahassee to Alligator, a distance of 103
miles. Most of them are in the vicinity of, and east
of tin* Suwiiiiiift* Ivivt-r. They embrace every va-
of soil from lands suitable merely for timber
andf naval stores, to the most valuable description
for the production of Sea Island and Short Cotton,
Sugar, Rice, Com, Tobacco, and other agricultural
>roducts of Florida- A large proportion are pine
ands, based on clay, with dense and large forest
wtn, resembling much the best pine lauds in Ba-
• county, Georgia, with the difference in their fa
vor that climate and proximity to the seaboard make
them admirably adapted for the production of Sea
Island Cotton and Sugar. The best recommenda
tion of these lands will be found in the crops of corn,
sugar cane, long and short staple cotton now grow
ing on them and adjacent aud similar lands, which
those wishing to purchase are requested to call and
examine. The purchasers wilt have access to both
the Gulf and Atlantic ports of Florida, to which our
roads are now built and being extended, and on the
completion of -the connection of the Pensacola &
Georgia Road with the Main Trunk Road of Geor
gia, the principle part of tbeso lands will be in ten
lours travel ot Savannah. Tney are at present in
about 24 hours travel of both Charleston and Sa
vannah by steamer to Fernandina, and thence by
Railroad, Ac., to Alligator. These lands were grant
ed for Railroad purposes, and the proceeds of the
sales are to be applied to the purchase of iron for tho
Road already graded, or the grading of which is in
rapid progress of completion. To effect this object,
(the purchase of iron,) prompt sales are desirable,
and I invito the immediate attention of all persons
wishing such property, and particularly to individ
uals and companies desirous of purchasing in large
quantities.
TERMS—One-third cash, and the balance In one
and two jrears with eight per cent, interest, payable
annually in advance.

repeatedly called the attention of the public to mv
large stock and liberal offers, to which they have al

creased inducements to purchasers. ’Being very
heavily engaged in publishing, I exchange my own

nish them with t hc-ir Gifts at lowar ratoa than thoy

mission. A valuable Gift will be delivered with

SPECIAL NOTICE TO BOOK BUYERS.
As there are parties of doubtful responsibility ad
vertising Gift concerns, and some are making many
large promises, under fictitious names, without the
intention or ability to fulfil them, hoping, through
the popularity of my enterprise, to deceive and plun
der the public, a strict sense of duty compels me to
warn all against them. And if any are deceived and
cheated by them, they should not be so unjust as to
condemn me along with them, for they are base im
itators of an enterprise that has cost me an immense
amount of time and money to place it in the position
which it now occupies, commanding an extensive
and increaaing trade, approved and endorsed, with
the most entire freedom and confidence, by the lead
ing Publishing Houses in the Union, whose letters of
approval ana endorsement are io my possession,
and will be produced and shown at any time, with
the greatest pleasure. G. G. EVANS,
