quart, and the law of Mississippi confines the
■tailing to one gallon, and forbids that it should
used in or about the house where it is bought.

■, The fine steamship Columbia, Copt. Windel,
arrived on Sunday from Galveston, making the
trip in 35 hours. By the C.bimbia vve have
received our files of Houston and Galveston pa
pers to the 23d ilist. Nothing of importance is
contained in our (lies ; but we gbe below a few
items which may interest our readers.
Henry W. Fontaine, Esq. has been appointed
Judge of the District t'ourt for (he Second Ju
dicial District. Vacancy occasioned by. the re
signation of the lion. 15. C. Franklin.
Maj. J. W. Moody, Ist Auditor of the Re
public, died at Houston on the 20th inst. He
was a faithful public officer, and discharged with
satisfaction the trusts confided to him. He was
among the first settlers of Texas. His funeral
was attended by a large concourse of citizens.
Preparations arc making, in accordance with
an order of the President, to remove the govern
ment archiles, &c. from Houston to the new
scat of government. The line of march will be
taken up about the Ist September.
The Hon. David (». Burnet, Vice President of
the Republic, arrived at Houston a few days since
from bis mission to the seat of the late Cherokee
battle. Ills conduct, as a commissioner to treat
with the Indians, has given general satislact.cn.
The Houston Telegraph say : “After all ellb'ts
to bring Bowles to terms by treaty had failed,
and a fight became inevitable, Judge Burnet vol
unteored his services and acted ns aid to the Sec
retary of War during both battles, up to the
time that Adj't Gen. McLeod received a wound,
when be filled that station the remainder nf ti c
battle. It will no longer, we think, be said that
our Vice President is not. fitted for the tented
field as well as for the cabinet.'’
Col. Karnes, the celebrated Indian fighter and
pioneer of Texas came passenger on the Co
lumbia. He is direct from Bexar, and from h m
we learn that all is not yet quid throughout the
Northern Provinces ol Mexico. It now appears |
that letters have been received by some of the
citizens nl San Antonio and bv ( id. Karnes him
self, 1, mi ilLong.iislied ami influential pcrsni.s ■
beyond the Rio Grande, stating tin* tact of Ta- j
ma.depas. ( oabuil i and Nuevo Leon bavin l / do- !
elared tbeir iudepen-li i col Mexico. It is also!
stated that the co-operali m of Ti x is is solicited, j
and that, agents are on tbeir way to that govern
ment for that purpose, among whom is the govei
nor of one of the dis.i,Tested provinces.
The Galveston Civilian of the 23d says : “An
unusual number of vessels for the season lias ar
rived during the past weik. They have brought
a considerable number of passengers and very
valuable cargoes. The city is, we believe well
supplied with goods, and country merchants
would find the market favorable. The health of
the city is still good.”
•Since the recent fight with the, Cherokces, in
which the celebrated Bowles was killed, ll ere is
no further intelligence from Eastern Texas. It
is thought that the Indians have retreated into
the United States, and there is no probability of
bringing them to another engagement.
It is stated that the Secretary of War intends
during the fall to raise a large force to make war
upon all the hostile tribes and bring them to such
terms as will quiet any apprehensions from them
in ease of a reeo meneement nf hostilities with
Mexico Ve know that such is the intention
of the Secretary, and there is not a more politic
and appropriate measure which the Government
could adopt.
There is a great siarcity of rnonev.bad as it is.
in the Republic, and the ery of bard times, and
dull times, is to be heard from every quarter. But
Texas lias nothing to fear ; there is men/ and
( t * bread en mgh in her borders (of her own raising
too) to find all her citizens, ,

From the Mew 1 or/c Times.
Later from liu nos Ayres and Mon
tevideo.
By an arrival at Boston, Buncos Ayrcan pa
pers have been received to Hie 201 ti ol June, and
letters by the editors ol the N. Y. Journal of
Commerce from Buenos Ayres of 23d. and from
Montevideo of the ‘Jdili ol tlie same month.
The U. S. Sloop Independi nee sailed Irom [
Montevideo, June. 23d, lor Kio Janeiro, and the
Fairfield for Buenos Ayres on the 25Ui, ail I
well
By order of Gen. Lopez. Governor of Cordo
va, the Unitarian Clnel Pedro Nolasco Rudii
guez, formerly Provincial Governor of the same
State, was shot at Conception on the 21st of May
under a charge of high treason. Domingo Cul
len, another powerful member of the Unitarian
party, has probably shared the same tate.
The blockade at Buenos Ayies still continued,
and from the circumstance of several French ;
ships of war having recently arrived at Montevi
deo, it was thought a more rigorous blockade was
contemplated. The Governor ol Buenos Ayres
is said to have 10,000 troops under iiiscommund. j
1 lie J rcnch, it is stated have no vessel (hat can
approach near enough to the town lor an effective
cannonade, and should a bombardment tie deter
mined on they would have to build vessels ol u
lighter draft.
The revolution in Corrionts was entirely quell
ed ; and the army of that State in conjun t.on
with 4000 men from Buenos Ayres, under On
ble (Ex-Go ernor of Montevideo) was about to
march into the Banda Oriental, where Onble
hoped to re-establish his power, ho having a j
stiong party there.
All communication had been stopped between !
Montevideo and Buenos Ayres by the blockading j
1 squad on. It was believed that France would not j
[ negotiate on any other terms than unconditional |
| compliance with her demands. Monsieur Aimc
Roger, late consul lor France at Buenos Ayres, I
hid returned home in the French ship of va !
Ariadne, which sailed fom Montevideo on the
18th June. Monsieur Martiguc, Charge d'Al
•ai's still remained at that place.
Mr. Mundcville, the British Minister, arrived
at Montevideo from Buenos Ayres, in the Calliope
higate; on the Slat June, having concluded a
treaty with that government relative to the slave
trade, lie expected to effect a similar arrange
ment at Montevideo.
The correspondent of the Journal of Commerce
under dale of “Montevideo, June 24,” rclules the
following incident :
“ H. 13. M. packet ‘Spider,’ when enteringthis
port a few days ago, was fired into, from a lioal
belonging to the French ship of war T.c Perle,’
and wounded the leadsman who was in the
chains,’ a had having passed through his arm.
The eap'ain of the packet reported the affair to
his commanding officer. Captain llubcil in cotn
m ny of the‘Calliope’frigate, being near Bue
nos Ayres, when the latter immediately weighed
anchor and proceeded for Montevideo, and after
arrival he demanded explanations from the Ad
miral. which wore given, and accompanied with
hits nf apologies, which were considered satisfac
tory; hut I doubt very much whether ‘Poor Jack,’
will) his lacerated arm. considered those apologies
a sutfieient remuneration for the injury he had
received, and consequent suffering.
I do not believe there is any probability of an
early revolution at liuenos Ayres. Our country
men were perhaps in fear of it. in consequence of
the arrest of the noted Culhn.”
To judge by tiie huzzas of the Van Buren
party over the result of the recent elections, the
unsophisticated would he led to believe that the
V\ h gs have been totally demolished, and that
scarcely a vestige of them is left in the whole
Imbed States. They gain nothing in North 1
Carolina, where the vote show s a large majority
of the people against them, and they cry out.
“Huzza for North Carolina!” Thev are beaten
in the Congressional vote of Tennessee, and tljry
shout “Huzza (or Tennessee!” They gain 3
members in Indiana, and they exclaim, “All hail
I Indiana! ’ They elect two out of the thirteen
j members in Kentu ky. and they proclaim “Glo
rious news from Kentucky !” 'i hese ridiculous
shout* ate put forth, not because of any important
victories gained, but because tbe Whigs have
failed in .me instance to obtain distinguished vic
tories. In the aggregate, the Administration is
beaten by five or six members, and yet we hear
its friends rejoicing! This course may serve to
i !<eep up for a lime the sinking spirits of their
own party, hut it will uni deceive or frighten the
Whigs. They know their strength in every
•Stale of the Union—they know that with theex
eeption of ?tbw Hampshire and Missouri, it can
not be said that the Administration is certain ol a
majority in any one of the twenty-six Stales—
they well remember that it shorn of some of their
slrrngth in Tennessee and Indiana in Virginia
and many oilier Stales heretofore against them,
their cause is rapidly gaining ground more than
compensating (or any losses whit h they w ill sus
tain—and that with the mammoth State of New
\ ork on their sale, they cun defeat Mr. Van Bo
ren, and have a score of such little States as In
diana to spare. And wII not New York con
