Mohtoomhy, Jan. 14—The Convention
met again to-day at the usual hour. The
report of the Committee upon platform and
resolutions was received. The report takes
the highest Southern grounds, insisting on
the principle that it is the duty of Congress
to protect slavery in the Territories. The
report repudiates everything like Douglas
ism.
Hon. John Forsyth and some of his friends
objected to the report, but the Convention
adopted it by a largo majority.
A resolution was passed requiring the
delegates to Charleston to' insist upon the
indorsement of the Alabama platform by the
Charleston Convention before nominating a
candidate for the Presidency; and in case
the Convention fail to do so, they are in
structed to withdraw, and take no further
part in the proceedings.
After the adoption of the platform and
resolution, the Convention went into the
election of delegates to the Charleston Con-
' "' "W_
were elected by
a large majority : Leary Pope Walker, John
A Winston, William Yancey, David W.
Baine) Alexander B. Meek, Levi W. Lawler,
Francis S. Lyon and Henry D. Smith.
Messrs. Jobn T. Morgan, of DallaB, and
Davis Hubbard, of Lawrence county, were
elected to represent the State at largo.
The Convention was in session till a late
hour, when it adjourned sine die.
Washington, Jan. 17.—In the Senate
yesterday Mr. Ynlee, of - Florida, introduc-
ed a bill instructing the Post Office Com-
mittee to inquire into the practicability of
providing for the transmission of money
and valuables by mail, referring at the same
time to money orders through the post of-
fice. This resolution was adopted.
Mr. Bigler, of Pennsylvania, introduced
a bill providing for the suppression of all
invasions from one State against the other,
and punishing all such offences. This till
was referred to a select committee.
Mr. Clingman, of North Carolina, dis-
cussed Mr. Pugh's Territorial resolution at
length
_ The Senate afterwaids went into Execu-
tive session, when the appointment of Mr.
Faulkner, of Virginia, as Minister to France,
was confirmed.
Washington, Jan. 17.—In the House yes-
terday the usual desultory discussion upon
the slavery question occupied the greater
portion of the day.
The House then adjourned. No ballot
for Speaker was taken.
New YoitK, Jan. 17.—The Washington
corespondent of the New York Herald
says that yesterday's session of the Senate
was one of the most stormy Executive ses-
sions since the rejection of Martin Van
Buren as Minister'to England.
The question was tbe confirmation of the*
appointment of Mr. Fanlkner, of Virginia,
as Minister to France in place to Mr. Ma-
son, deceased.
Among the most violent opponents to the
appointment was Mr. Wilsov, of Massashu-
setts, who charged Mr. Faulkner with being
a disunionist.
Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, also .gave the
"lie" to Mr. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, which
the latter returned. This scene produced
die greatest excitement, amid which the
Senate hurried to an adjournment.
Senatorial Election is Iowa.
Iowa City, Jan. 17.—The Legislature of
this State went into an election to-day of
an U. S. Senator in place of Mr. Harlan,
whose term expires in 1861 It resulted in
the re-election of the present incumbent for
the six years following. Mr. H. is a vio-
lent Republican.

port last night, with Liverpool adyices to

ken place in the cotton market, but greater

The imports for the year at all the ports
of Great Britain, amounted to 2,807,500
bales, showing an increase in imports over
the previous year of 386,000 bales.
The inorease 'of exports of cotton over
the previous year, amounted to 80,000
bales.
The increase ot consumption in Great
Britain amounts to 120,000 bales.
The cotton trade for the year has been
singularly free from speculative influences,
only 270,000 bales having been taken during
the year on speculation, which is the small-
est amount taken by speculators during
any year since 1851.
"Vicksbubg Jan. 17:—A difficulty took
place to-day at the corner of Washington
and Clay streets, at abont 1 o'clock, between
Mr. William D. Roy, editor of the Vicks-
burg Sun, iuid Mr. Daniel J. Sheppard,
formerly employed in the Sun office. The
result.of the difficulty was the discharge of
a pistol by Sheppaid upon Roy, the ball
entering near the heart. Mr. Roy died
almost immediately. There was only one
shot fired. « ? ■

The Hempstead Courier says that Dr.
M&tchet is enrolliug a company of rangers
to serve on the frontier. Dr. Matchel did
good service in battling yellow Jack in
Hempstead last fall, and he is now embark-

the State than even eyllow Jack. We trust
he will bs succes£ul, not only in. raising
his troops, but in putting down the red

The Courier says that a gentleman living

the scion* grew thirty feet tho firs* season.
That was a good growth certain. '
The Krenham Enquirer contains a call

We were not awfere that they had discon-

well as the most accommodating stage pro-

That sleepy post officer at Brenham has

says anything bad about us in latin, we
intend to send our fighting editor up and

The Ranger has an account of a Southern

has with either, we can't see. The only

horse, and that is very apt to throw us
when we get fairly mounted. '
The San Antonio Ledger says that corn
is sellihg in that city at $2,00 a bushel.
That looks almost like famine prices.
The Ledger will please, in copying from
the'Intelligencer, the record of crime in
the capitol county, call it Travit and not
Harris.
The Ledger has an account of Rio Grande
affairs, by the hand of Capt. Henry. He
tiiinks it will take six months to settle the
difficulties there. The reason why Tobin
and not Ford was elected to the command,
was'that Ford deferred the election till af-
ter the battle. We think he did right in
doing so. There is no braver man or bet-
ter officer than Ford, and the responsibility
of the expedition, was a good deal upon
him. " * ■ ' Z. &■; /.

The Ledger learns that it is the intention
of the department tat discontinue the San

hope not, as it is by far the shortest and

Austin, Jan. 14, 1859.
Mk. Editor:
The weather is now fine,' and the mem-
bers of the legislature begin to think of
home. I have no doubt the legislature
will adjourn in three or four weeks from
this time, although some of the1 lobby
members, who«have not got their lavorite
meffsures through, seriously object to so
speedy an adjournment.
I see from tbe Sabine Pass Times that
Col. C. H. Alexander; a lobby member from
Sand Farm, has returned to his constitu-
ents and has been complimented by a
public supper for his efficient aid in carry-
ing through the legislature the Eastern
Texas Railroad charter,- to terminate at
Sabine Pa9s. From my observation and
knowledge of who is entitled to the credit
of that little matter, I think the good peo-
ple of Sabine Pass will have to make an-
other teast when the Hon. Wm. ijmith ar-
rives, if they desire to appreciate the ef-
forts of tbe true author of the success of
that measure, for it is notoriously true thai
he is a universal favorite in the House, and
and it was owing to his exertions alone
that the bill passed. The lobby member,
CoL C. H. Alexander, had about as much
influence on tbe action of tbe legislature,
as the man in the moon might be supposed
to have.
This thing of lobby members, is getting
to be an intolerable bore; and I have no-
ticed that no local matter can ever pass
the legislature without the approval of the
sitting member of the oounty or town in-
terested, and it is a mistaken idea that the
members of the legislature will look to any
other person as the exponent of the wishes
and desires of the' people on a local matter
than the member representing them official-

Mr. Hjnderson, of Harris, offered a bill
to chartet the Lynchburg & Eastern Texas
Railroad,(this morning.
I see a full delegation of lobby members
from Galvpston. Rumor says they are
here to aifect legislation on the subject of
railroads, t Is it not funny that Galveston
should nor begin to take an interest in
railroads? They believe strongly in tap-
ping, but feel very little interest when
they have t« draw on their pockets to build
them. . I hear the Galveston lobby mem-

company will come out with flying colors
yet. The Galveston company promise to
open their road through next week. But
little work remains to be done on this road.
The H. T. & B. company are laying iron,
and will probably get their road done to
Columbia in forty to fifty day3 from this
time. The contractors on the Washington
County road are at work with a large force,
and are deteTnined to finish their road this
year. The Central road is doing a freight
business to Navisota or Hollandale station.
Something is said of a joint stock company
of merchants, with a cash capital of
$500,000 to build and own the Houston &
Tyler road. Such a company can be made
up, and with it the road will be speedily
built. Persons interested along the line
could well afford to donate to them money
and lands to get the road. The road is
what is wanted, and that too, as speedily as
possible. It is said that additional stock
subscriptions to the amount of $700,000,
have been obtained for the S. P. R. We
doubt the information.
The health of Houston is - excellent,
though we hear of a good deal of pneu-
monia in the country.
Immigration . continues unprecedently
large. Planters and negroes, in a con-
tinuous stream, are passing through
Houston almost daily. It is the same in
all the Northern and Eastern borders.
The increase of our population this winter
from immigration, alone, will not be less
than, sixty to seventy-five- thousand peo-
ple. ' •-- .' -V
HOUSTON MARKET.
• cotton,
Since last week the cotton markets have
all shown a declining tendency. The fact
is the large Teceipts hitherto (2,476,857
bales against 2,077,778 at same dates last
year) give a good reason to look for a total
crop of nearly or quite four millions of
bales. This amount is quite as large as
the annual demand, and whenever this is
the case, the price cannot go to a very high
figure.
At this point the receipts continue very
large for the season, and bid fair to reach
near 125,000 bales lor .the ^year. Sales
have not been very heavy for the week,
though they have been tolerably good, con
sidering the decline. We quote from yes-
terday's transactions:

Building and press say, $15,000.
Total loss not far from $130,000.
The Joss is very large, but with few ex-
ceptions is so divided as to fall upon those
able to bear it. Ma Whitmarsh loses
most. Counting his buildings and inter-
ruption of business, he must be out twenty
to twenty-five thousand dollars, and per-
more.
Our accounts from the interior are of a
good deal of cold weather yet. Last week
heavy sleet fell in all the upper country,
breaking down trees to some extent. This
is by a considerable, the coldest winter we
have had iq Texas for many years.
The Railroad spirit is again more active.
On the New Orleans road laborers are now
in great demand, $1,75 per day being freely
paid. The Company is now laying down
iron, and has about 10 miles in operation
from the Sabine, westward, and the grade,
ties and iron all ready for 20 more. This

Metallic Burial Caskets and Cases
THE most beautiful receptacle for the dead that
a. has ever been brought before the public. For
Vaulti, Transportation, or immediate burial. The
great advantage of the Metallic Burial Case, is they
last for ages, and being sealed up Air tight, they
keep the corpse dry and clean, and prevent any un-
pleasant odor from escapii^. These cases are
all finished off in the finest style, being padded
and lined with white Satin, They are furnished
with a fine Frencb-plate glass, which extends the
full length of the case, and gives a full and perfect
view of the quiet sleeper within. We will keep con
stantly on hand a large sapply of all sizes, at our
staid two doors above Crawford 4c Butt's Livery
Stable, west sideefMarket Square, Houston,Texas.

• v '
;rtct,Md'S^ief ?^SSJ \X/E beg leave to call the at
ton and Anstin. JanMlv VV , °
T \ tention of the Trade^, and
more especially the Physicians
of the country, to two of the
most popular remedies now be- %
fore the public.' We referto
Dr. Chas. H'Lu^s Celebrated
-VERMIFUGE AND LlVKK PlLLS.
We dojiot recommend them
as universal Care-alls, but simp-
ly for what their name purports
viz: \
the Vermifuge, 1
For expellihg Worms from the
human system. It has also been
administered with the most sat
isfactory results to various An-
imals subject to Worms.
THE LIVER-PILLS,
For the cure %f Liver XJom-
pilaints, all Bilious Derahgz-
ments, Sick Head-Ache, &c. In
cases of •
FEVER AND "AGUE, ..
preparatory to .or after taking
Quinine, they almost invariably
make a speedy and permanent
cure.
As specifics for the above
mentioned diseases, they are
Unrivalled, and never known to
fail when administered in accor-
dance with the directions.
Their unprcedented popular- ^
ity has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING RROTHEBS
v Pittsburgh, Pa., ^
to dispose of their 'Drug busi-
ness, in which th^r have been
successfully engaged for the
last Twenty Years, and they
will now give their undivided
time and attention to their man-
ufacture. And being detenu-
ined that Dr. M'Lane's Celebra-
ted Vermifuge and Liver PiHs
shall continue to occupy the
high position tfcey noW hold
among the great remedies of the
day, they will continue to spare
neither time nor expense in pro-
curing the Best *nd Purest ma-
terial, and compound, them in
the most thorough manner.
