Wednesday Morning 1 , Jan IT. ... v ... . . ■ ■ 7-.v-r---^= S' TEXAS. /S By the arrival yesterday of the Steam S/ii/> • Constitution, says the New Orleans I3co, of the HtJiinst. we have received our files of the Houston Telegraph, up to the 30th tilt. An cx tia number of that journal published on Christ mas day, gives a rumored account of a battle said to have been fought at San Antonio de Bexar (Bchar) between a con-adorable body of invading Mexican-, and a part of the Texian nr my under Colonels Kamos and Wells—on the 20th ult from 9 a. m. till 4 p. in,, with doubtful (results. Hut rumor generally exaggerates. The. same paper oftho 30lh ult gives an. abstract of tire account, transmitted to the secretary at war by Colonel Karnes. Ho states that aboul 50 Mcx. icans had made an attack on the guard protec ting lire horses about S miles below that city— killing one and taking the other prisoner; and that they had been pursued unavoidably for 10 miles, as the hail had given out. This is how ever considered an ?c’. of retaliation against Te xas. The Telegraph adds—possibly, this of rjagement lias marked Tekcl on the walls of.Vtcx • Co. The Texian government has purchased a brig, carrying II guns and 200 men. It is anchored fl in Galveston hay, and will soon he ready for uc -9 (ion. The organization of the militia is gradually progressing. Thos. J. Rusk has been appointed major general; E Burleson, M Baker, .1 JI Dyer, fend K II Douglas, generals of brigade; and JJ B , McLeod, adjutant general. A general order was ' issued on Christmas day by General Ruck, order ing the officers el the militia to have their troops in readiness (o march against the enemy at a mo ment's warning; for it ii apprehended that the Mexican army will now shortly invade Texas, Jo full force. The Texiatis appear confident of their own strength and success. Volunteers and subscriptions have already been raised to assist the movements oftho government and army and it is enthusiastically anticipated that theTexians will now invade Mexico before terminating the present campaign. This is of course a more chi. , mera, at present at least. The Qt; ei;s’s Health. —A correspondent of Ilia New York Star, in noticing the young Queen of England, tints speaks of her health “The Queen's health is reported to be in a precarious stale. Os the truth of the report I have no means of ascertaining any thing. What I state therefore is merely iho echo of any prevalent ondil in the metropolis. The report, then, is tins—that the Queen has exhibited appcanccs of that hereditary disease (once believed to be curable by the tuiihh oftho king or queen) which has so ituidh embittered the existence of many of her family. The dreadful complaint com monly known by the name of King’s Evil is I believed to have caused the mental, alienation I under which Geo. 11l so many years was til. i \*’icled. It is believed, also, that the Princess Amelia died of its effects. George IV was an early sufferer from the same cause, and the black stuck which are "ow so generally worn, were invented by or for him, to conceal the marks which the disease had made in his neck. The taint is m the family; and I believe that, in consequence of the frequent inter " niarrages with the Continental houses, it husi been communicated to nearly every royal house in Europe.” “Ohio anu Mississippi Rives.—There ere employed in navigating those Rivers, 638 steam boats, aud 6000 flat and keel boats, on board of which about 00,000 persons are employed.” Prom the N.

From the London Herald, Dec. 2. illr. .fruition oftho United Stale. Bank. The object ol Mr. Jaudon’s mission to this conn - try is still the theme of universal conversation,; not only among the men of business of this j metropolis, but in all the manufacturing districts, and our provincial commercial towns and cities. \ This can ho no matter of surprise when wc ' refresh the memories of our cotnineici.il and monetary readers,by a reference to the hold policy of Mr. Biddle during "every financial struggle, either on this or the other side ol the Atlantic, since the memorable period of 18..!o-U to the present time; lor the results ot Mr. Liddlcspro jects. through his chic aud confidential agent, Mr. .laudon, must inevitably 'did materially ailed the commercial and monetary interests ot this coun try one way or the other, Wc use the doubltul sense, because wc believe that, it Mr. Biddle s projects were lobe carried out to the Idler w. a success, they would create a revolution, which, in the existing stale, of our monetary system, the commercial industry ol this community could not well withstand, and also because the object of Mr. Jauilon’s mission lias, for the present, been re. larded. In our present and future remarks wo desire to be considered, when speaking of Mr. Diddle or Mr. Jaudon, ts referring to them only in their public character, for in private life we believe tlicin to be deservedly respected, and ' were it the contrary, it would not bo our province o discuss the question. The information which we have to-day received fully confirms out previous statements. The avowed primary object of Mr. Jaudon’s mission is to establish a working system of exchange sinu ilar to that which now prevails between this country and the continent, and an open market for every description of American securities and |*etocks. Mr. Middle’s secondary object is to nul , lily the late agency system which has prevailed in one particular character for 10 years, and m substitute Mr. Jaudon for Messrs, Marin ts ! Mrown, and 00,, and other eminent houses, as Weans the late suspended firms, and by indirect means, such as we have referred to, to place the i same amount of Miiti-h capital in the hands or at , Iho command of the United IMutcu mercantile 1 speculators as they were wont to enjoy up to the late crisis, by the toleration of ■ bill. i on the | part of llio Malik of Jhigl.i.id ,h:\ irs, whi h ! they ever and moat properly have denied to their | iellow countrymon, but which, by permitting | rapacity to preponderate over equity, lliev alv.o. i lately encouraged mild tbeir coders were drained, and the es'ablishuienl endangered. We believe that Mr Jaudon Iris been well in troduced to'bnlh merchants and bankers. With the latter class ho of course, lias met no refusals, excepting where the question has U: < u put point blank; but as that gentleman bus availed himself of the inaratinie practice) of taking i.oun dings, there can lie no doubt dial be has avoided many unpleasantries. Our experienced men of business men are satisfied with tnc mediants who have declined to cooperate in Mr. Middle’s mo. nopoly scheme; they deserve credit rather than I obloquey for their caution, for the essence of Mr. Middle’s plan lias been, and i-, to obtain a double ■circulation of commercial paper—that is, a cm rency of American bills in this market, and an other es British bills in the United Stales; the consideration for v hich will be Ainciican slocks, to a groat extent, that cannot benefit our national industry, inasmuch as it would lock up a great portion of capital in the public debt ofa foreign state, thus encouraging upon very false princi ples, foreign commerce and foreign improvements at the expense of national industry. There is this distinction between the continen tal and the projected Atlantic exchange system ; the former fur the most pint is governed bv com mercial transactions; in llio latter instance it would be governed, if successful, by all the rail road, canal, slate improvement, loans and bank ing shares, good or lift.' of the United Slates; thus Mritish industry and capital arc to bo jeopardized upon a hazardous foreign paper system, to enable the United Stales luaiik to \viilistaini Van Murcti s bard-money crusade. It is understood that the amount drawn upon Mr. Jaudon is not over XIJ, OUO ; and as there will hen balance to band ov«r when the account with Messrs. Darings is finally made up, ho has opened a deposit account with the bank of U’wgland, in addition to the account Opened with Messrs. Denison & Go. On this occasion wo must conclude our remarks on llio subject by staling that wo know our men of bus incss prefer the importation of cotton, tobacco’ timber, &c„ which encourage induct'-y, to those pretty specimens of engraving, which are suitable, even where they are profitable, only to Ibc annui tants, portfolio, the miscr’schest, or tiie currency of a gambling Pandemonium.

Our Parisian neighbors have invented a bonnet which they dignity by the name of Victoria bon net.

CONTINUED. Dr. Blythe, an aged and influential and can did minister, and a most determined parlizan of the Old School party, in commenting upon the published statement of Dr. Maxler of Virginia, uses the following language, ‘-Does iliis recent ly made Old School man mean to say, that all New School men are abolitionists? Does he mean to insinuate that Old school men are like himself, advocates of slavery ! I know that neither is true.” Here you will observe that Ihc charges of abolitionism being conlincd to the New School party is denied by an aged OM School minister, who has spent bis life with Old School men in the North and West, lie seems to be unwilling to allow llui glory of being abo litionists, to be monopolized by his ecclesiastical adversaries. To whose opinion are wo to give tl\e most weight, to one who speaks from impres i .dons merely, ns did Dr, Maxtor, or one who j spoke from actual and prolonged personal knowl edge! Hear this Old School minister a little further. He asks, “was there a single man, infidel or | Christian, in llio whole British dominioni w o . I thought of legalizing slavery from the Mibb ?

This subject was alluded to In llio convention, j Mr. K.

It is believed that the act - 1818, ns contained in tho Assembly* Digest, e B presses Hu- views of a groat mass of our lirclhn • lit tho North.

CCS of the Gospel; whether they shall perform tin duties and eh t islt the endearments of husband' anti wives, parents and children, nci dihora am friends; whether they shall preserve, their elnsti ty and purity, or regard the dictates of justice and humanity. ,Suctb aro somo of the conso quimces of slavery,—consequences not inaigina ry—but which connect themselves with its tort existence. Tho evils to which the slave is ni ways exposed, often take place in fact, and ir their very worst degree and form: and where id of them do not lake place, as wo rejoice to snv that in many instances, through the mllue.ncc til tho principles id humanity and religion on thr minds rif masters, they do not —still tho slave ir deprived of his natural right, degraded as a hn man being, mvl exposed to the danger of passing Into tho hands of a master who may inflict upon him all tire hardships and injuries which inhu manity and avarice may suggest. From rids view ol tho consctprenecs resulting from the practice into which Christian people have most inconsistently fallen, of enslaving a portion of their brethren of mankind—for “God hath made of one Wood all nations of men to dwell on the face of the earth”—it is nianilbstly the duly ot all ehristhtns who enjoy lire light of the present day, when the inconsistency 4 0l slave ry,l»>th with .he dictates of humanity and reli gion, hashem demonstrated, and is generally seen ana acknowledged, to rise their honest, ear nest, and unwearied endeavors, to correct the er rors of former times, and as speedily as possible to ui'hco lii'H blot on onr holy religion, and tooth lain the complete shot lion of slavery throughout Christendom, and it possible, throughout tin world. This expression ofthe Assembly’s views, clo sos with the following words: And if it shall ever happen that a Christian pro fessor, in our communions shall sell a slave win is also in communion and good standing with isur church, contrary to his or her wiil, and incli nation, it ought immediately to claim tho partic ular attention of tho proper church judicature ; and unless there be such peculiar circumstan ces attending thp case as can but seldom happen it ought to ho followed, without delay, by a sus pension ofthe offender from all the privileges o the Church, till ho repent, and make all the rep oration in his power, to the injured party. You perceive from these extracts, that it i made ihoduly of every member of the I’reshyteri, an Church, to do all in his power for the Alioli lion of slavery, fs it honorable in us. my hre.h ten, to retain our connection with a body whiel makes the abolition of slaveiy an imperative du ty upon its members, and still profess to cnlortaii the sentiments common to tho South upon tin subject 7 I ask, is it honorable—is it ingonious is it consistent'! Can we with sincerity longe maintain this doubtful position 1 You likewise perccivfc from tills extract, Ilia in ease any of you should sell a slave, who is t ill cm her ot the Church, without that slaves con scut, the Assembly requires that you should la turned out of the Church, and not bo receiver hack again, until you repent of this your trails gressioil. u Now, the case may occur, and hao often oconrr ed, when humanity would require this course and yet the Assembly has declared that by so do ing, you become proper subject of Church dis cipline You will be told that tills is a mere act of tin Assembly, but not a part of our Constitution.— True it is not a part of our constitution, but itn of equal force, as if it were. In 1811), a Committee was appointed to col lect into a volume the prominent doings of tin Assembly since its organization, which wore wor thy of permanent record and extended circula lion. This committee discharged their, duty hi the publication of the volume called the Asaern bly’s Digest. V prominent position is given it this volume to the Assembly’s views on slavery Since that time, so far as the information of tin writer extends, the Assembly lias riot acted defin ilely upon this subject. When it has been intro dticcd, action upon it has always been avoided, o the South is informed that its views will he fourn in the act of 1818, which makes it our duty to dr all in our power to abolish slavery, and render it criminal to dispose ol a slave, who is a tnernhui ofthe Church, against his or her consent. We arc told that this act is of no force, as it ir ti t a pai tot our c mstituL; nr.

Those sentiments will not he retracted. That act cm -1" bodies the views of almost nil the Northern ls Church. You might us well attempt to change '• tho course of the Sun, as to change in the Gen g oral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, the 11 act ot 1818, on (slavery. Mr. Dreckonridgo, in the Convention, said in , r reference to this not,that he never could he brought * “ t 0 os k 'be Assembly to eat its own words upon ' ■ ibis subject—and rather than alter them, lie would cheerfully go If the flt’i.c.” And those words pasted withovt comment in the Convert tiun. y f 't was after these things had boon said and done, that Southern men, to justify their unwil lingness to introduce the slavery question into y the Convention or Assembly, made use of art r- expression, originating, 1 think, with a member r- of our bynod, “Wo have nothing to give and le nothing to take from the Assembly on the sub ~ joct of slavery.” n “Nothing m g-iwd” We had nilicit to give ie we ought to have given to the Assembly, a stern rebuke lor timorously allowing to pass unnoticed o- lor years, tho phrensied fanaticism of the aboli tionists, who had all the while, been endangering 0- tho lives of yourselves and families, the existence m of the Church, and the integrity of this Cninn. h “Nothing to mftel” Wo had much to lake, j., We ought to have taken a recantation ns public ■- and wulo-eptead as the avowal of principles ; which legitimatize, the efforts of the abolitionists, 1- to involve master and slave, in a common rain. i, It is idle to say, that the act of ISIS, enjoins s- moderate measures It* abolition of slavery ; the ah. if olitionists, while they call ns mon-stealers, say, )- kind souls, that they arc very, very moderate, and are laboring for tho welfare of the slave-holder, a=. is well as llio slave. J- The only moderation nn the part of persons, *■ who have no business with our domestic institu ’■ l ions, is like moderation in (ho use of ardent spir b its', never to touch thorn. In advancing the opinion, that wo shall have gained nothing upon this important matter, by the excision of tho New School party, the w.riler is not alone. You remember that your lay dele -1 r gale to the Assembly of 18:30, K. A. Nisbel, iv q. a gentleman in whose sound judgment and accu rate observation, you all have confidence, slated to you in hut report as commissioner, that there was no difference between Iho two parlies on the j slavery question—that the only questions in the ' Church at tho North were, as to tirpe and inode ' of abolition, that they ail gave signa cf increduli ty, when Southern men talked of Christian sym r” patios Und principles in connection with slavery. So clear were his views of the entire alienation of the North from the South upon this question ; that he prepared si resolution which was intro duced into tho Presbytery for our consideration, in which il, was proposed to yon, to instruct your 7 delegates io the Assembly of 1H:)7, to demand from that body a new expression of its views on I slavery; in case they refused this request, or complying, took any other ground, than that sla " very was a civil matter, over which they had no I control, then these delegates should upon tin j f spot,declare Hopewell Presbytery to he an in do j ■’ pendent body. in So this matter of independency is not new to y you—ft has been under your consideration for more than a year, !t may be remarked that the substitute offered in Athens, simply proposed that you should give this subject, eight months fur ,,r (her attention, and requested yon to send your i,j written opinions as Churches to the next annual | 0 ; meeting of the Presbytery, that this body might jl : know whether the Churches did or did not desire I ■r I "• I 4,4.:* -..1a-. . .... arr»TT“(-»i i ( 0.11 WUxKCIA Ti.
