Constitutionalist and Republic.
BY JAMES GARDNER, JR.
Americas Prisoners is Mexico. We yes
terday copied an item from the Houston Tele
graph. to the effect that the editor had learned
from a person, who was in Durango some
months since, that nine American citizens had
been imprisoned in that city more than a year,
and that unless the United States Government
interfered they would probably remain in du
ranee many years more. A letter has been
shown us. which induces us to believe that one
ol the prisoners is no other than the notorious
Capt. Parker H. French, and that the restare his
accomplices in all sorts of rascalities. This
fellow French has been hung within the past
year, has been elected Governor of Durango, and
we hardly know what not. The following ex
tract from the letter referred to. and which was
written some two or three months since by a
gentleman residing at the city of Durango to his
brother here, will set the matter at rest:
The notorious Capt. French has not been ex
ecuted, but is in prison in this city, with eleven
companions, charged with highway robbery. !
From all the information I can obtain, French is
quite a desperate character.
fcAllJtheJnterference our Government could make
in this matter, would be simply to ask that this
man French might be given up by Mexico, to
be punished for his swindling transactions on'this
side of the Rio Giande. — X. O. Picayune, 13/A
inst.
Later from Mexico.
i By the arrival yesterday of the brig Tehuan
tepec we have received papers from the city of
Mexico to October 25th.
The papers are filled with reports from the '
theatre ol war on the Rio Grande, and almost ,
every day a rumor is in circulation that Mata
moros had lallen into the hands of the insur
gents. 1 hese rumors probably gave rise to that
brought by the 1 ehuantepec from Vera Ciuzto
the same effect. Gen. Avalos had written that ,
he had 700 men with him, and was daily expect
ing 400 more, under Gen. Canales. These latter
never got there: in tact, Canales seems to be
distracted on all sides. The Genio. a paper pub
lished in Victoria, has a long article, in which it
warns the Government against trusting Canales;
and thearticle is copied approvingly into the !
papers of the capital. It is stated that many of ;
iiis triends and relations are among the insur
gents. Great wrath has also been excited against f
Gen. Avalos by his act in taking off the prohibi- I
tions at Matamoros. The ]lapeis accuse him of s
actually seconding the pronunciantienio. Never- s
theless, it apjiears that by this nice little piece of ?
manoonivering Avalos managed to get 5200, 000 1
into the custom-house. a
Gen. Uraga communicates to tln> Government 11
from Potillos. under date of tne 15th tilt., that he a
had assembled *73 men, and was then on his a
inarch for the seat of w ar. It is understood that ; c
Urrga is to command the Government forces. |
A letter from Monterey, dated on the 12th of’ '
October, says that,Gen. Jauregui hail left for
Matamoros with 400 men, '4OO of whom were
Kicknpoo Indians. The letter naively remarks,
that .lauregui didn't intend to fight, but only
wanted to try and buy some of the insurgents. I
The conducta for Vera Cruz left the city of
Mexico on the day before with $4,500,000.
A letter from Sonora says that the numberof
American adventurers who have entered the
State tor the purpose ol working the mines
amounts to seventy-two. The inhabitants seem
to hold these men in as much terror as though i

The Thieves at the Exhibition. —The to
tal number of charges made at the police station
j at the Prince of Wales’ Gate relating to oii'eu-
I ces within the building is twenty-live, of which
nine were lor picking pockets, six for attempts
to do so, and ten for petty larcenies at stalls. This
| remarkable fact has been accounted for by the
l.ord Chief-Baron, who in a speech which he
delivered at the anniversary dinner of the
South-West Middlesex Agricultural Society, on
Tuesday, made the following statement: They
had heard, his lordship said, that although be
tween 6.000.000 and 7,000.000 of people had
visited the building, only twenty-five offenders
had been taken by the police within it. He
would tell them the reason. At the first open
ing there were only three doors opened for en
trance, and the persons entering were supplied
with cards, which directed them to places re
served for their accommodation. There were
police officers skilled in the knowledge of the per
sons of the most remarkable thieves in Europe
stationed at the doors, and when the members of
what was called ‘'the swell mob, - ’ presented
themselves, they received cards which sent them
all to a particular box, where some thirty-seven
members of the confraternity found themselves
assembled to practice upon the (lockets of one
another—(great laughter)—whereupon they
came to the unanimous resolution that the police
regulations were too perfect fur them, and so
they had better go home at once. (Laughtet) i

The Milledgeville Federal Union says: “Ex-
Gov. Towns and family left this city last week
for Macon, where we learn, he intends to reside.
We part with Gov. Towns with great regret.
His affability, social virtues, benevolent and
kind deportment, has endeared him to the
hearts of our citizens. His lady has left a void
in our midst which will not be easily filled. Few
it any of her predecessors have surpassed Mrs. T.
in doing the honors ot the Executive Mansion.
Courteous, dignified and highly cultivated in all
the graces which adorn female character, we can
but feel that the female society of our city has
lost an inestimable member in the departure of
this lady. We wish the Governor and his in
teresting family a full fruition of all those plea
sures that flow from retirement in the bosom of
a happy home.

[cOMMfNICAII.D.]
Eililors Constitutionalist Republic :
Time may make it manifest, that defeat in
their political opposition by the Southern States, I
to the “ Compromise measures." was fortunate,
at the present. Our present humiliation may
lead, if not to our exaltation, at least to our
greater security, and permanent prospeiity. F.v
idences of this are already beginning to manifest
themselves. Witness the Planters' Convention,
recently held in Macon, which, though having it
in view to devise some plan to obviate the ruin
ous fluctuations in our great Southern staple, yet
it will be seen, that beyond this, was the most
important view of securing, through that sta/Uc,
“ ct also of sectional security, is the ultimate !
aim The same remarks may be made in re er {
ence to the interest now manifested in regard to (
the manufacturing of cotton, the ultimate aim ,
being sectional security. . . .
In all this, we see that the Southern mind is
engaged in bringing about the same end y
same agent, though by different modes or rather
different minds have taken hold of different
parts of what will be one great plan, to effect one
great object—the security of the South through
her great staple. .
The invention of the cotton gin was, in all
1 probability, at the time, regarded as a matter
1 which would have but little effect upon c.v.l.za
tion —certainly none upon the political relation
l of states—half a century, though, has effected,
through this invenfion, a vast influence upon |
. civilization itself, and in half a century to come
I as great effects will be produced, in a politna
point of view, by the plaee where, this staple, w i
e Lss through Us next stage, after leaving the gin.
1 To my mind, it has been, not only the destiny
II of the Southern States to make cotton, but it isnou
becoming her destiny to make and spin cotton,
and will be. in the onward course of things, her
destiny to make it—to spin it—to weave it. c
We have, hitherto, amid the embarrassing .
fluctuations in price, to which our cotton has I
been subjected, done well; but it has hecom I
, _ WP u being, to give it not only I .
necessary to our well uemg, &
increased value at home by spinning it, but also
greater stability in price, by the same process.
Persons versed in these things, know that
thread does not fluctuate in price, like, or to the
same extent to which the raw material does.
This is easily accounted for: The mater *
after passing from the possession of the planter,
falls into the hands, at least a large portion of it,
of speculators, the body of whom operate: throu h
Bank facitities-in other words upon borrowed
capital and for a short limit of time, and upon
that time arriving, their cotton must be sold, be
| the price what it may. Combinations of cap,
I talists, at home and abroad, especially when cot
ton i. io«, can make it still lower by such con,
binations-thus mining thousands, and upon that
: r uin are their fortunes still augmented. This
can in no way, be so effectually and certainly
obviated, as by doubling the value ol the cotton
To illustrate this, put down the cotton crop of
one year, as being worth eighty million of del- ,
i cr4 ; ;t and make it worth one hundred
andlixty million, and you double the difficulty
of successful combination to depress its price.
A«ain : Spin it, and, in that state, it would be
principally in the hands of those who, from their
bein'' able to do so, would retain it as against ru-
S depressions, if, by possibility, they shouhl
occur. This is certainly not a mere theory, un
sustained by truth. Look into the: facts con
nected with this theory, as relating to the flour
ishing manufactories, which, as if by magic, have
rejuvenated your own city-does a ten days
cotton panic affect the price of their thread f The
owners of those establishments are not, I appre
f hend, writhing under the dread of a sixty or
. ninety days’ Bunk facility terminating,

. taring establishments, judiciously managj
e built by men who were able to !»/ hin
rowing; and with the hope ofenU.« B
