Gen. Hende&son.—The health of this
distinguished gentleman has so far im-
proved aa to enable him to return to his
xesideace at Marshall, and no doubt now
remains of his complete recovery. We
•hare with our readers the pleasure of this
intelligence ; and we take pleasure also in
announcing on undoubted authority that,
if fleeted to the Senate of the U. S., he
will not feet at liberty to decline so mark-
ad a compliment. Gen. Henderson resid
this coarny albst twenty -years, and
the people of the State may inquire what
his old friends and neighbors say in refer-
•nee to his election to the Senate, First,
then, we say his fine abilities and character
will sot only, enable him to occupy, but to
JiU the ieat now vacant by the death oi
the lamented Rusk; and secondly, that
the people of thts county, without regatd
to party, are unanimously in favor of bis
election. If it be possible for him to have
• competitor, can such competitor ap-
proach the Legislature with such an en-
dorsement? It is without a parallel to
onr knowledge.

Improving the Sabine Biver.
This enterprise at last appears to be ap-
proaching a realty. The survey is com-
pleted, and the river is now ready for con.
tract A* will be eeen by reference to the
notice from CoL Fields, the State Engi-
neer, lie will receive proposals up to the
6th of October next. As cash jobs are
lather scarce now-a days, some gentleman
who has the means might find it a profita-
ble investment. The specifications can be
•een at onr office by any one desiring it.—
As we have before stated, there was <t rise
in the river before the survey was complet-
ed, but an engineer of the Col.'s experience
coald form a pretty eorrect estimate oi
the amount of work necessary to be done;
besides, Capt. Faiton, who is probably
better acquainted with the river than any
other individual, was in company with
CoL Fields, and could give him very accu-
rate information of the bidden obstruc-
tions. We have no doubt of the ultimate
anceess of the project, and it is to be hop-
ed some gentleman will take bold of the
matter who has the means, the energy,
ead the determiuation to spend his time
set on'y with profi: to himself, but with
benefit to the community.

anew outrage.
From the San Francisco Chronicle we
learn that a new outrage has been perpe-
trated upon the American flag, by the au
thorities of La Paz, Lower California, in
the person of the U. S. Consul at that
port—Capt. Chas. B. Smith. It appears
some parties were engaged in making an
illegal sale of an American schooner, in
which sale the presiding judge was person-
ally interested. The Consul, as in duty
hound, protested against the transaction;
whereupon the Judge summoned him fcfc
fore his Court, and fiued him one hundred
dollars for contempt-—the Consul objected
to the payment, it not being recognised as
an expense incident to the Consulate
He was then ordered to the public jail of
Mazatlan, whither he was cscorted by an
armed force. The various resident Con-
suls of the place, considering this proceed-
au outrage upon Consular diguity, in a
!y protested agathst it. -General Young
in command of the poit, forced the Judge
h person to go immediately and liberate
Capt. Smith. The Consul, after being re-
leased, considering his office broken by
the harsh treatment he had received, clos-
ed his office, leaving American interests
in the hands of the other resident Con
sals.
How long, it may well be asked, does
our Government intend submitting to such
indignities as these? The horrible mur
der ol the unfortunate Crabb expedition a
tew months ago, being suffered to pass by
unnoticed, has emboldened the semi-bar
barians of Northern Mexico to such a de
gree, that we now see the authority and
dignity of the Government insulted, its
flag degraded, and its officer incarcerated
as a commou felon, by a petty Alcalde, in
a miserable Mexican village. Has the
glory'and strength of our^naiion departed,
that not only our citizens are insulted and
slain, hut even the officers of the Govern-
ment are treated with contempt ? It cer-
tainly appears so, in looking back over our
history since the termination of the Mexi-
can war. It appears to have been the es-
tablished policy of every Administration
to preserve peace, even at the sacrifice of
every principle of honor aud nationality.
Insult and injury have been borne from
the degenerate and mongrel races of Span-
ish America, till the name of American
citizen but serves as a mark of scorn to
its possessor.
First, Lopez and Crittenden, and their
gallant compeers, were immolated upon
the altfcr& of Cuban liberty—but a simple
apology from Spain was ample satisfac-
tion to our peace-loving government—and
though the Cuban authorities and people
have, studiously aggravated, by every
means in their power, our citizens tempo-
rarily resident amongst them; and though
every impediment has been thrown in the
way Of American interests and American
commerce—though our Government and
people have been held responsible for the
acts of those bold spirits, denonrnated by
the now illustrious sobriquet of filibusters,
yet our pacific relations with them remain
unimpaired.
The free negroes of Panama, presuming
upon the apparent weakness of our gov*
eminent, and its inability to protect its
citizens, concluded to display their bellig*
erent prowess upon those unfortunates who
happened to belong to so magnanimous
s uation, and a lawless but well organized
mob attacked an emigrant train in open
daylight, unprovoked, aud without let or
hindrance from their authorities—destroy-
ed the lives and f roperty pf American cit-
izens, committing robbery and murder but
for pastime—and yet two years have al-
4$ost elapsed, and ho satisfaction has been
obtained.
Passing over cases of minor importance
—as isolated cases of murder aud impris-
onment, or the forcible seizure and deten
tion of an occasional vessel—-we come to
the last closing act of the bloody drama—
the murder of the gallant Crabb and hie
unfortunate companions. Simp'y because
they were an armed party of Americans,
sufficient in numbers and equipments to
cause trouble, had they been so inclined—
without waiting for any overt act of op*
position to the established authorities—
without any evidence that they were ac
tuated by other than peaceful motives—
ihey were surrounded, burned out. cap-
tured and shot in cold blood—their boJies
refused Christian burial, but set up asi
matks for the jeers and scoffs of the bar
barian rabble. Not satisfied with these
inhuman butcheries, they then proceeded
to scour the country, and even advanced|
upjn American soil, to murder invalids
upon their beds of suffering. As yet we
have heard of no reparation being demand-
ed.
An apology was demanded of Spain-*
was tendered and accepted—but our citi
zens yet visit Havana only at the peril of
their lives. Money was demanded of Pan
ama—as if money could pay for blood—
and even that has been peremptorily re-
fused. Nothing has been demanded of
Mexico; and to show their utter contempt
for the American government, they now
imprison its officer for doing that which
his oath compelled him to do—and there
he might still have been, had not the rep-
resentatives of more respected flags inter
fered in his behalf.
Why is it the American name is thus
suffered to grow into disrepute, aud its
former prestige be destroyed ? Have we
really degenerated as a nation?—or is it
that internal broils have distracted the at*
tention of Government from its legitimate
duty of sustaining untarnished the nation-
al honor abroad ? Has the Democratic
party forgouon the once cherished doctrine
of " tree trade and sailors' right?"—the fa-
mons*war eff* bf 1812 ? Has Mr.B«ei -
anan forgotten the Ostend Manifesto ?—
Have Texians forgotten the heroic days
of *36 ? The soil which formerly *' bred
up valor rank as grass," has lost its sub-
stance; or else our sectional embroglios
are destroying our national pride—other
wise it could not be that these repeated
and unprovoked assaults upon our people
would thus go ucwhipped of justice. Il
these tnongre! clans who style themselves
a nation, are thus permi ted to exercise
the power of life and death over the peo-
ple and officers of the Uiiited States, the
appellation of " American citieen" will
soon cease to be a mark of distinction.
a SINGULAR PHASE.
The celerity with which parties
and partisans have recently changed
their ground, is the strongest proof, in our
estimation* that the existence of our Union
is in danger; exhibiting as it does the
depth of pollution to which political huck
stering may drive a parly or a people. Ol
late years a disappointed politician appears
to be the most desperate character that
can be found among us—ripe for anything-
ready to join any party or clique, no mat-
ter what may be its object—even though
its desigu be the destruction of the Amer-
ican Union. We do not allude to the
masses of tbe different parties, those who
simply vote what they conceive to be best
for the country ; bnt such as aspire to be
leaders—those who base their hopes of for
tune and fame upon the success of this or
that faction, to which for the lime they
may bejong—^have recently exhibited a
degree of depravity and disregard of pre-
conceived opinions, which is truly aston-
ishing.
On the one hand we fiod a portion of
those who were wont to consider them-
selves Democrats, good and true, and who
as 6uch advocated the passage of the Ne-
braska Kansas bill, and have since been
foremost in sustaining, by their votes aud
influence the principles contained in that
measure, anu denouncing those who op-
posed it as traitors to the South and their
country, and yet, now on the very first at-
tempt at a practical application of its
main feature to the teiritory of Kansas,
they as bitterly denounce Walker, for en-
forcing the very same principle. Although
he acts under the instructions of the Pres-
ident—although those instructions are the
very same, aimost verbatim, with the lan-
guage of the Kansas bill, and although
that bill has been fully endorsed by the
politicians and the people of the South in
the election of Mr. Buchanan, yet the mo-
ment he attempts to apply the principle,
he is ruthlessly assailed by those from
whom he had the best right Jto expect a
firm and unflinching support, audCahminy
and abuse are showeied upon him wi.th an
unsparing hand. The avidity with which
ihis clique have seized upon the first op-
portunity for opening their vials of wrath
upon the heads of a thoroughly conserva-
tive Administration, acting directly in ac-
cordance with their clearly expressed will,
evinces a determination hot to be pleased,
and reveals the ultra and extremist in all
producesa singular spectacle. Within a
short year these two factions were so vio-
lently opposed, that no Billingsgate was
sufficiently obnoxious to serve them in
expressing their utter abhorrence of each
other. The one styled the othbr " fire-
eater and disunionist"—the other called
its antagonists "dirt-eaters and submission-
ists." Aud yet we now find them cl eek
by jowl with each other, and both acting
in concert with the extremists of the Re-
publican and Abolition parties, and all
bound together by the cohesive power of
determined opposition to conservatism
and the sting of disappointment and de-
feat.
How long will this extraordinary trinity
continue to act in unison ?' One faction—
that which is really actuated by the treas-
onable design of destroying the Union—
those who have become accustomed to
shaping their actions with a view to
accomplishment of this catastro
who have planted their h
their calculatiuns upon this
will most probably pootinue iheir"clamwi
until some other event occurs which they
consider more likely to hasten the advent
of their universal cure-all, or until the tru-
ly patriotic people become aroused and
frown them into disrepute. The other
will spit its venom for awhile, till the
bitterness of disappointment shall lose a
portion of its poignancy, and will quietly
relapse into silence, or take sides as best
suits their inclinations. The Northern fa-
natics have already announced their inten-
tion of trying to k«ep the question alive
tijl i860, as a fruitful source of political
capital—and it will only remain for tbe
National Democratic party to hasten the
admission of Kansas as early as possible,
either with or without slavery, as the res
idents of tbe territory who are most inter
ested in the matter may desire, and we
need have no fears but a majority of the
people will quietly acquiesce in the decis-
ion.

Vots on the Iowa Constitution.
It has already been announced that the
people of Iowa have adopted a new Con-
stitution, in which negroes—Africans, or
the descendants of Africans, or those who
have been slaves, or the descendants ot
slaves, are excluded from the right of suf-
frage.
Thus we see the Dred Scott decision
fully maintained by a Ssate whicb last
year voted wall the Fremont Republicans
—carried away by the excitemeut of elec-
tioneering appeals. The people of Iowa,
by a large majority, have prononnc. d in
lavor of the Supreme Court decision, not
only as considered legally, but as a matter
of right. The Republicans are now in-
dustrious'y engaged in 'ienrying against
that decision, as being an outrage upon
natural and constitutionul right. Will
they again affiliate together, or will Iowa
in future take a firm stand upon tbe consti-
tutional platform, and advocate what they
have now prouounced as their deliberate
opiuion. We think she can now be set
di>wn as a Democratic gain—and thai she
will in future be tound working with the
national, constitutional party.

On the other hand we find those who

tiring aud active friends of the Nicaraguan

his atifntiou. We feel some doubt about
the reality of the matter, as it is a little
singular for as young a mau as the Col,
with his chivalrous disposition, after hav-
ing tasted the sweet* of military glory, to
thus voluntarily relinquish his h pes when
his prospects for farther advancement were
so flattering. If it is not a sham, we hope
he will rccunsider his resolution.
Wilfull Misrepresentation.
J. T. Fuller, Esq, of our town, directed
our attention to the following delightful
morsel, under the head of " local news "
in a little sheet published at Hansboro',
Miss., called tbe "Reformer." Judging
frcm the specimen before us, there is some
room for reformation even in the immediate
neighborhood of the editor's sanctum :
'•Texas.—Our well known fellow-citizen
Mr. Allen Mclutosh, has just returned from
this famous country, whither he had gone
to look a^ter the property of a murdered
sister. We havs seen a hole through liis
ihigh made by a buck-shot. He says there
were several guns fired at the time and his
horse killed. We have learned from the
papers that a 'vigilancecommittee' (a new
name foe regulatois,) existed in every coun-
ty in that State; a sufficient proof of the
unsettled statp of affairs. It was the oldest
settled portion of the Sta^e to which Mr.
ar\d wM?re, of course, it
* " were the fewest
order. Yet he
ations are able
I
done
e we would
aa'tp^fag and toma-
ou in the Western
part. The opinion' now expressed of the
results oi similar opera'ions in our own
State, about twenty years ago is, that eve-
ry single victim was guiltless of the crimes
for which they suffered death—who then
were guilty ? We hope those of our citi-
zens who are preparing .*o go to Texas
may have a good time of it,
"Mr. Mc„ though he suffered from sick-
ness besides his wound, vvill return to the
contest as soon as he recovers his strength."
It is always a source of legret to lis to
see one of the editorial fraternity, thu^ de-
grade the press by circulating such palpa-
ble mis-statements as are contained fa the
above paragraph ; for the purpose ^ wil-
fully misrepresenting -a whole State and
people. We say wilfi^i—for tbe entire ar-
ticle bears upon its fa^e tl\e impress of the
writer's design. Surely population roust
be getting scarce in Hansboro' Co., or the
editor wou!d not resort to such means to de-
ter them from emigrating.
Possibly there maybe such an individ-
uilasMr. Alien Mcintosh, who in some
drunken row may have got himself wound-
ed ; but had his wound been received iu a
manner not dishonorable to himself, it is
more than likely he would have designated
the locality of the terrible conflict a little
more definitely* th|iv to.have ^escribed it
as having takei |>1eoe-"*tt Texas."
The editor professes to have learned
from the papcrs, " that a vigilance com-
mittee. (a new name for regulators,) exist-
ed in every county in tue State." As such
a statement has never been published iu
" the papers" of this State, and most 'pa-
pers are not usually given to wilfully per-
verting facts, and as the assertion contains
not a word of truth, it is but fair to sup-
pose that this extraordinary state of affairs
had its foundation in the fertile imagination
of the editor of the Reformer.
It is aimost usek-«s to enter into an ar-
gument to prove his assertions false, as he
so completely overdoes liis work as to leave
his object plainly visible. The laws of
Texas happen to be printed, and any oue
who desires to do so can refer io them.—
Our criminal code is as stringent as that of
any Stale out of New Emiland.and the laws
are enforced with as much rigor as justice
will permit. There has been no case of
homicide in our connty for three or four
years, and we recollect but two or thre« in
the District composed .of seven or eight
counties, within that pefiod ; and we can
safely assert that less crime is committed
within the scope of pur observation, than
in any country we have everknown.
k Jimlitffe&r. Editor, it will
pi* wish to go,
ess wWsome day

yourself on the score of veracity, and your
community may improve so much they
will not wish to leave.. But above all,
cease abusing Texas—we are beginning
to have mails from this country now, and
vour citizens can hear from their friends
here, and youi slanders will certainly be
exposed.

The Oakvitle Acorn, even with its unique

The Jamaica pec«.e.—Those who ere
in the habit of comparing the conditio# of
countries where slave labor ia tolerated,
with those of free labor, will do well to
ponder the following from the Jamaica
Journal. The experiment of eraancipi*
tion iu the West Indies has proven • fail*
ure, and the fact is every day coming home
to them with a greater degree of iotensHf.
Those in authority are beginning to re-
nounce their policy, and there is little
doubt but the institution of slavery stand*
on a firmer basis to day than ever before :
•« What needs there to be a better proof
that slave labor is more profitable than free
labor, than the example of Cuba ? Look
at the value of the real estate, there—com-
pare it with that of freeholders injamai.
ca. Why. the price paid for oue single
estate tuere is $800,000. This is the con-
dition of Cuba uuder the slave system —
Now look a: Jamaica under the free.
What has been the result 1 Why, the
price of real estate fell to nothing after it
could not be so'd, and when a sate was
made ihe land was actually given away—
the price paid for, freehold not more than
ng ihetrva^te^ c^ v$s l i ve and dead
stock. Bear in mind that, previous !©free
iabor, Jamaica was as prosperous aa Cuba
—and ruled high—estates flourished, and
all the wide spread ruin we now see has
been subsequent to emancipation. ' s '

The Cause.—The great cause of the
failure of the Southern Commercial
Conventions to bring about the results
which one would naturally expect from
a Congress of the Southern States, fo
the unwari&nted suspicion with whidh
the menders regard each other—a
want confidence in each other. Be-
cause A will riot advocate the opening
of the slave trade, B Shakes his head
and wilispers around that he is unsound
on the vital question of slavery. Q
thinks northesi emigration would bene-
fit the South, whereupon A feels it His
duty to denounce him as a "Freesoiler."
D expresses the hope that one day the
son of Heaven may rise and set on a
redeenied and disenthralled world
where no slavery exists, and C straight-
way raises the cry that he is an avowed
Abolitionist. Thus it is in the South ;
man distrusts tiis feelings of his fellow
mau in regard to the peculiar institu-
tion. B upbraids A as unsound, A, in
turn, declares C a Freesoiler, and C
denounces D as a traitor to the South,
and as a natural consequence, there can
be no union of sentiment ot purpose
among them.
As with the people, so with the
States of the South—Georgia regards
Vir^'niatmsound ; Vtr^hiia loofefc tijpon
Maryland a3 freesoil, and Maryland
considers Missouri lost to the South
and wholly given to .Abolitionism.
This being the case, the Southern house
being divided against itself, how can
>ve, expect aught to be accomplished by
any Convention of the Southern States
either political or commercial. When
the people and tbe States of the South
learn to have confidence in those who
have a common faith, hope and destiny,
then, and not till then, will any good
result from, or any w/ork be accomplish-
ed by, Southern Commercial Conten-
tions.

Salt Lake City.—Elder Hyde, who
is lecturing on the Mormons and Mor-
monism in New York, recently gave a
description of Salt Lake City :
It is described as containing 15,000
inhabitants. It covers an area of 6
square miles, divided into blocks of 10
acres, each block divided into 8 lots.
There are 8 houses on a block' each
surrounded by a small, well cultivated
field. Down each street runs a cold
stream of water, on the banks of wfcicH
rows of trees are planted. The houses
generally are two stories high, built
of whitish-gray clay, and look very
pretty. Towards the eentreof the city
the blocks are smaller ; near the centre
of the city is the cite of the great temple 1
that is to be. The foundations are
already laid, 16 feet deep and as many
wide, and the building is to be 200 feet
long, 100 wide and 100 feet high. The
turrets and walls and interior appoint-
ments are to be of a style unequalled
for splender in the United States. Near
at hand are the dwellings of the proph-
ets and the artisans at work on the
palace, the funds being contributed by
the faithful. Brigham Young's palace
U also near, where, with surprising
harmony, live dozens of ladies flftigyng

Pistols or a Wife.—A gay Lothario
of Cincinnati, who had taken advattfg*
ot a Newport maid who had "loved, net
wisely but too well," a few days ginpt
was confronted by the injured fair, one'e
father, who placed a pistol in, ck>3€
proximity to the heart of Don Juar
and demanded that his daughter's honoi
be made whole. The young man sue
cumbed, and a clergyman near on pur
pose, tied the marital knot.. The bride
and bridegroom are said to be doing
well.
