Senates Houston's speech upon the Watrous

at length; but we are satisfied that the Senator
has rendered a high public service, in making
the exposure of corruption in direct terms,well
sustained by documentary evidence; and re
gardlesB of the effect upon individuals. The
speech seems to us to have a higher tone than
most of General Houston's public expressions:
There is in it more of the Senator of thj Uni-

in the United States. That a man should per-

our helpless condition in the month of May,
1859, creditably—Mr. N. jP. C.'s assertion to
the contrary notwithstanding, and the first no-

they are difficult to find,! scattering in small

in the night. We have been informed tlmt
horses were killed in daylight, on the head ot

L1J1AR COUNTY CONVENTION..
Pauis, Lamar Co. tex., 1
March 5th< 1859. /
According to previous notice, the Democracy
of the county met in Convention, and were
called to order by J. H. Crook, Esq. and on
inofHiii, :l/aj. A. J/cCuistion was called to the
chailt, and ;<J. W. T. Weldon appointed Secre-
tary. On motion W. Bonner, was called
upyuQo explain theobjectof the meeting, who
performed : that duty in his usual happy
style.
On motion of W. J. Bonner, a committee of
13 u';i- appointed by the ('hair, to report busi-
ness for t!ie|action of the meeting; whereupon
the following gentlemen were appointed: W
J. Bonner, I'. A'. I'aec, K. W Spears, J, TI.
Crook, I". .{. Shelton, Young Burgher, Hen-
ry Stoneliam, N. i . II: rland, .)oltn J/atheny,.

jne(iiing by ii t>■ w vvi li-iinied remarks, justify-
in'.' the t'orjvciitton and the system of Conven-
tions fujly sustaining his character, as a sensi-
ble. plain aiid forcible speaker. W. B. Wright
Esq. v.'as called, and made a short and
appropriate nieech
j he eonitpitteeappointed todraft resolutions,
returned to jhe room and reported the follow-
ing, viz:
Iti'W.lv </:! That we endorse the Admini:-
tration of .AuneM Buchanan.
"J. That we approve and endorse the policy
of Gov. 11 linnets both State and National,
as enunciated in his State papers, and have an
abiding confidence in his ability, integrity,
and demochicy.
■i. That thi.- Convention hereby appoint the
following gentlemen as delegates to the State
Convention, to meet at Houston on the 2nd
thty in May next, "viz:
A. S. Kottwitz, Rob t Price, Eli J. &helton
acd N. R, laarland.
4. That our de:egates to the .S'tatc Conven-
tion. are hereby instructed to vote for, and use*
all honorable means to secure the nomination
and re-elet'tion of Gov. Runnels.
:">. That we approve the course of our pres-
ent representative in Congress, John H. Rea-
gan. and hereby recommend him to the next
Cnngifcssional Convention to meet at Hender-
son. on the ijnd day in May next—for re-nomi
nation, and tjhat W. B. 'V right, J. II. Crook,
Bonner and J, T Harman, be appointed
delegates to said Convention, with instruction
to use all hqnorabie means to secure his nomi-
nation.
i. That.the wisdom of Conventions on the
part of the democratic party is sanctioned by
past triumphs, and hallowed by tie associa-
tions of the j most gifted statesmen in the an-
nals ot the country; wo therefore recommend
the Convention system as eminently calcula-
ted to ensurt success, and protect us,- at this
peculiar juncture of our political affairs.
And whereas, The voters of this; senatorial
district, will be called upon in August next to
elect a AS'tite Senator and whereas, the Sena-
tor, for the Ijist two Senatorial terms* has been
elected from JJopkins County, we believe, there-
fore it is due' Lamar, through courtesy, to give
her the next..Senator.
Therefore,; be it resolved, That the Democ-
racy of Lamar County, feel that they are not
claiming moiie than they are entitled to by the
above declaration, and we confidently believe
that the Dembcracy of HopkinsCounty will gen-
erally uuiteiwith us, in electing the next
ator from this County, i
2. That having entire confidence in the
ability, integrity and orthodox Democracy, of
our tellow citizen, W. Wright^, Esq., in
whom the Democracy cab safely trust their
cherished principles, we therefore recommend
him to the, favorable consideration of the Dei
mocracy of the district..
3. That should a convention be heid

I will or not: I do not care for the moral force of

! to see whether mass meetings of the Sover-
eigns, taking unanimous action, cannot address

i But we started upon more strictly Aational
' subjects. It will soon be time that we hear
j something from Paraguay. That small difficul-
j ty will doubtless soon be satisfactorily dotorm-

j England through their fleets are directly inter-
| fering in the management of her domestic ac-
tion. It may soon be necessary for the United
j States to "'ntervene. We see little prospect of
that distracted country ever doing well aga:n.
! under the direction of its own ministerial
i agents. We howeve" , have no desira that our
| Government should interpose in its affairs, un-
j les • to prevent the acquirement of undue influ-
! ence by European Governments. This must
I not be allowed—cannot be allowed with safety
to our honor or our interests. Public affairs in
j Europe,as well as Mexico and Central America,

I tera little—perhaps startling events—perhaps
! all may subside into a lengthy quietude.

Our two representatives, we sec, have had a
small skirmish. We imagine that when the
two go before their Constituents for approval,it
will be found that th^ member from the East
is tar the most acceptable to the sovereigns rep
resented. We do not admire the course during
this session, of the member from the West,
though we feel personally too friendly to him
to make any caustic criticism, as he is not our
immediate representative.
8®, Our ancient neighbor, now of the Me-
Kinney Messenger,denies that he has sloughed
off any of the madness of his former heresies ,
but is still as mad as ever, and thinks that his
statement in his salutatory was specific enough
to prove this. We were charitable enough to
think otherwise, and disposed to give him the
credit of progressive reformation; but he refu-
ses to have it, and insists upon continuing in
his errors, and nursing their growth. He must
go his own way; we cannot control him, and he
will not permit us to hope for his political im-
provement.

serious demonstrations for heavy and continued
rain, but not much came. The river, we be
lieve is still low, though there has been aslight
rise during the week.
Fatal Casualty on the Steamer Adri-
atic— Three deck hands lost, and tiro Serious-
ly Injured.—While the steamer Adriatic,bound
from St. Louis to Arew Orleans, was aground
at Ainnic s point, above Cairo, her crew were
turning the capstan,when it broke, owing to the
excessive strain brought to bear upon it. Three
of the deck hands were knocked ovepboard a«d
lost, and two others were so badly injured, that
they had to be taken to Cape Giradeau, where
they would be well taken care of. We did not
learn the names of any of the men. This ac-
cident seems to have been exaotly a counter-
part of one which happened to the Edioburg,
in the Missouri, some years since. On that
occasion the spindle of the capstan broke, and
five or more of the deck crew were killed, and
hurled overboard by the capstan bars, which
revolved with the rapidity ot lightning, and re-
istless force.—St. Louis Democrat.
Confession of murder.—The widow and
daughter of Wm. Pugh, an old man who was
murdered at his own house, near Suffolk, Va.,
on Christmas eve last, were recently committed
on the evidence of a boy about 12 years
old, the grandson of .the old woman, who heard
them detailing the manner in which they de-
prived him ot life. The Norfolk Day.Book
savs that Sarah Pagh, since her committal to

OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Washington, Feb. 8, 1859.
The Secretary of State has transmitted to
Congress his annual report on the foreign com-
merce of the United States, and commercial
changes in foreign countries for the year 1858.
It is of peculiar value to the mercantile and pro
ducing interests ef the country at this time, as
it begins with Great Britain and ends with
Paraguay. '
It appears, from this report,that the number

The report contains a letter from Mr. C. G.
•Baylor, dated at Brussels, in December last, in
which he says he devoted his means and oppor-
tunities to the development of a direct, recipro-
cal and independent trade, between the tobac-
co and cotton States of America and the conti-
nent of Europe. Such trade would benefit the
general interests of the Southern States, and
incidentally the Western and Aorth Western
States also. With the concurrence of the friends
of the movement, Belgium has been selected as
the point of European operations, and with the
concurrence of the leading commercial and fi-
nancial influences of the Kingdom, Mr. Baylor
is authorized to say, with the approbation and
good disposition of the Belgian government,the
long expressed wishes of the Southern States
will soon receive such aid as to result in the
realization of the practical and successful car-
rying on of the direct trade with continental
Europe. There has been formed in Brussels,
to negotiate the details of this commerce and to
represent the planting interest of America, a
continental and direct trade association. Steps
arc now being taken to receive the cotton di-
rect from the plantations cjf America, to be sold
on the Continent, under the auspices and guar-
antee of ample and well-known capitalists, in
the most expeditious and economical manner
direct to the consumer in; Belgium, Switzer-
land, in the Zollvrein and in Germany. To meet
this cotton import and impart the character of
reciprocity to the trade, and supply the impor-
tant feature of a return trade with cheap freights
the manufacturing interest in Belgium is about
to be organized, and through a means at once
simple, practicable apd attractive, $ committee
has been formed, under the administration of
which will be held exhibitions of continental
industry,taste and manufacturing skill,through-
out the Southern States of America in the prin-
cipal towns.
These industrial exhibitions will partake of
the character of the German fairs and trade
sales. The goods of the continent of Europe
will then, in a most attractive manner be
bronghtas it were to the very doors of the South-
ern people, at first cost, j>nd exchanged fqr cot-
ton.
Ml-, Baylor asks the approval of the Depart-
ment for what he has done;
The first feir will probably be held in Charles.

PUBLIC MEETING AT DANGERPIFLD.
A large and enthusiastic meeting heldln
Dangerfield. on the 2nd day of march, WS9-
On motion of Jas. F. 11 oust n Ksq., Judge
W. C. Batte was called to the chaif, and on
motion of Col. Tho*. J. Roger*, ./as. ft. Bridg
es Esq., was appointed secretary.
( ol. Rigors explained the object ol tie meet
ing, to be to suppress the lawless, slanderous,
and reckless cou se pursued by a few persons,
in charging their honest neighbor* with steal-
ing hogs, so far as such a course can >e sup-
pressed by a plain, unequivocal expression of
disapprobation- The meeting was also addl-
ed by Judje Dillahu ty. and Dr. Chambers
The chairman then appointed Messrs. W I ,
Beeson, T.J, Rogers, Hervoy Dilahunty, Allen
Urquhart, and J. Terrell, a committee to dnw
up and present resolutions, expressive of the
sense of this meeting uj oii the subject undi r
consideration. After some consideration, the
committee presented the following prcatrble
and resolutions, which were unanimously adop-
ted.
Whereas, certain persons, whose names are
well known to this community, have pre-
ferred eertaiu infamous charge- against? sum-
of our best citizens; and as we know without
the shadow of foundation, and whereas such
charges will- in souie degree, injure the
character of the citizens against whom said
chargcs are preferred, where they are not
known, and whereas, repeated ac- u^ition-
have been made, without the semblance ot
truth,and as there.is no romedy lett fur the
citizens so changed to vindicate their charac-
ter. by law; and since we arc opposed to vio-
lence in any form:
Resolved, That, from our knowledge of the
persons so charged, and their charaotel's as irooil
citizens, we know them to be entirely innocent
of the charges made against them.
Ilesohrd, That, as said charges are becom-
ing frequent, and any of our good citizens are
liable, at any moment, to have their characters
and their children's tarnished bv infamous re-
ports, without foundation, we will, as lar as is
in our power, in a lawful manner, suppress all
such proceedings.
Resolved, That we have entire confi lence :n
the honesty and integrity of our neighbor.

TO TIIE VOTERS OF THK 8TU JUDICIAL
DISTRICT OF TEXAS.
The 21st inst., being the day for the election
of a District Atto ney, to fill the vacancy e: us-
ed by the resignation of S. R. G. Mills, I adopt
lhis medium of announcing to you my name as
a candidate for that position. I ani well aware
that the qqestiop " io he qualified?" is always
uppermost in the mouth of the voter in select-
ing an officer of a judicial or ministerial char-
acter, and had therefore hoped that a day more
remote than the one selected would have b.xn
made, in order that I might make myself known
to you, that you might be more fully judge ol
my competency and ability to o'ischarge the du-
ties ot that trust.. I must now. however, con-
tent myself with the "good name," I trust my
friends and acquaintances have formed of me
since I have been a citizen of your State, and
trust the influence which I hope they may ex-
ert in my behalfwill be a sufficient recommen-
dation of ray qualifications. It is not for the
honor of the position,or the "glory of the thing"
that I seek the office, but the profits connected
with it. I shnll therefore, if elected, discharge
the duties connected with that post fearlessly
and without favor, and try, as far as my ability
will permit to restrain vice in all its forms,sup-
press immorality by giving it proper punish-
ment, and encourage, by rigidly enforcing the
Penal Code, good order in society. Texas has
as wholesome laws, strictly penal in their ch ir-
acter ua any, and all that is needed to restrain
crime are proper officers to execute them. This
shall be my steady purpose if elected, and thus
I throw myself upon public favor to sustain me
Respectfully,
