washington, Deo- 28.—The news of the
capture of Fort Moaitrie and Castle Pinck-
ney reached the administration while the

federal troops from their State or they will

morrow.
WASHisoTo.tj^Dec.p".—Gen. Scott says
that Major Anderson, in evacuating Fort
Moultrie strategetically moved correctly by
resorting to Fort Sumpter, although with-
out-consulting him. It is; now certainly
ascertained that a majority of the Repub-
lican members of Congiess are ready to
guarantee the repeal of tbe personal liber-
ty bills of the North, and if this is refused
it will be deemed as evidence sufficient
that the South is determined to reject eve-
rything in the way of compromise.
At the request of the Secretary of War,
Gov. Brown of Georgia has obtained a
years leave of absence for Col. Hardee,
late Commandant of West Point to visit
Europe, for the purpose of affecting a pur-

$870,000.
In the Senate committee of thirteen Mr.
Grimes, of Iowa, asked Mr. Toombs wheth-
er his provision recognising property in
man was the Sonth's ultimatum, adding if
such was the case the South should sign
an agreement to that effect and the Repub-
licans would sign one repudiating it. Mr.
Toombs refused to answer.
In the House committee of thirty-three,
Mr. Adams, of Mass., offered the proposi-
tion respecting Mexico. It is thought the
peculiar source of this action gives it the
semblance of a retreat.

ships Mexico and Matagorda:
Gaitsston, January 1st, 1860.
The steamship Mexieo arrived at her
dock at an early hour this morning briug-

Wajhi3Gto5, Dec. 29.—The Cabinet con-
tinued in session yesterday some six hours
and adjourned till to-day without arriving
at any definite conclusion relative to the
affairs of South Carolina.
The Cabinet broke up last night without
coming to any conclusion relative to the
disposition of troops at Charleston.
The impression prevailed here that a
oonflict is inevitable.
In the Cabinet Messrs Toucey and Holt
urged measures of defenoe, and the others
farther evacuation if necessary.
The Senate Committee of thirteen after
considering the propositions of Senators
Douglas, Bigler, and Bice, were unable to

tioa of Mr. Adams, offering an amendmen
to the constitution, so as to prohibit the
passage by Congress and any law interfer-
iag with slavery in the States where it now
exist.
It is stated with some show of probabili-
ty that at the meeting of the Cabinet yes-
terday, the Csmmtssionem from South Car-
olina requested the President to inform
them whether or not M^jor Anderson oocu-
pied Fors Sucpter by his orders orwhether
he was instructed by tbe War Department
The President replied in the negative, ad-
ding that Major Anderson acted upon his
own responsibility.
The commissioners then asked that Ma-
jor A. should be remanded to Fort Moul-
trie
There was no conclusion upon this point
when tbe Cabinet adjourned.

fifths of the recently elected delegates are

A large number of propositions were

ftom each State represented, to report if
an agreement could be effected at a future
meeting.
Postmaster-General Holt has ordered
the Sub-Treasurer of Charleston to remit
$36,000, the balance et the postoffiee ac-
count, to his department.
If this order is not immediately com-

1 of his orders by the Federal Govern-
ment. He is also determined to suppress
all mail matter to and from South Caro-
lina, if the mails are interfered with in
that locality.
A prominent member of tbe Cabinet ex-
presses an opinion that war is begun.
A dispatch has been received from S.
Carolina by a member of tbe Cabinet, say-

Consrts>ioanI Proceedings.
Washington, Dec. 27.—In the House,
Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylvania, re-
pelled the newspaper attacks respecting
the recent abstraction of the Indian trust
funds, for alleged political purposes, when
the House adjourned to Monday.
Senate.—Tlie Senate was occupied to-day
in discussing the Territorial relations of
slavery.
Chablsstox, Dec. 27.—Fort Moultrie
was evacuated last night, the guns were
spiked, and it is now being demolished by
fire. The troops; were conveyed to Fort
Sumpter, but four soldiers remaining in
charge.
The affair lias created the most intense
excitement. The Convention is yet in
secret session.
Washington, Dec. 27.—The commis-
sioners from South Carolina have arrived,
and will communicate with the President
to-morrow, whenjthe^Executive will send
to Congress a special message upon tbe
subject of their visit.
The secessionists are much comforted
by recent assurances from Maryland and
other States.
The Secretary of the Treasury denies
the existence of any defalcation in his
department.
Bailey, implicated in the affair of the
abstraction of Indian trust bonds, to the
amount of $837000, has made a full
confession in a letter to Secretary Thomp-
sons In announcing his individual guilt,
he affirms that" no officer of the govern-
ment had any complicity in the matter
whatever. His bondsmen surrendered him
to-day to the proper authorities.
Mr: Russell, the Indian agent in this
city under arrest for alleged participation
m the crime has been admitted to bail in
the sum of $200,000. Senator Green and
Representatives Wood and Barrett becom-
ing bis sureties. Tbe remaining $300,000
being made up by citizens.
Chaelestos, Dec. 27,12 M.—Fort Moul-
trie was not destroyed last night as pre-
viously reported. The gun carriages alone
were on fire. The cannons are spiked and
it was reported that a train had been laid
to blow up the fort. This, however, is
doubted. The excitement and indignation
is on the increase.
Majcr Anderson states that he evacuat-
ed Fort Moultrie in order to allay discus-
sion concerning that post, and at the same
time to strengthen bis own position. Capt.
Foster with a small force remains at Fort
Moultrie. Several military companies
have been ordered out to protect the mag-
azines and arsenals in this vicinity, it be-
ing reported that a military corps from the
interior is en route for this locality. A
collision is not improbable.
Charleston, Doc. 27.—The convention
yesterday passed an ordinance continuing
under the appointment of Son! h Carolina
tbe present officer® of the customs, and
adopting the Revenue laws of the United
States, excepting the act authorizing the
deposition of the papers of Foreign vessels
with their respective Consuls Vessels from
the slave-holding State* are to be register-
ed vessels, the customs to be paid accord-
ing to the regulations of South Carolina
Officers of the State are to retain the pro-
perty of the United States subject to the
disposal of Soutb Carolina until a final
settlement with the Federal Government.
Washington, Deo. 27.—The report that
troops have been ordered to the forts in
tbe neighborhood of Charleston is not
credited here, nor is it believed that the
administration contemplates giving any
such orders, deeming anything having a
tendency to increase the inflamation of the
Southern sentiment, particularly nnadv^s-
able at the present moment.
Nxw Orleans, Dec. 28.—Cotton.—We
repeat our quotations of yesterday with a
slight modification, bnt with the remark
that even running middling has command-
ed still higher figures than the outside
rates, and good middling from its scarcity
has brought from 12@12£c.
Inferior 5@6J
Ordinary 7@8*

Low Middling 10@10j
Middling 11@11j
The receipts of the week embrace 67150
bales against 183.100 for the correspond-
ing week last year.
New Obleass. Dec. 29.—Cotton.—The
demand to-day was hardly as general to-
day, but as the factors met the demand
rather more freely, particularly for the
lower grades, the sales comprised folly 10,
000 bales, without any quotable change in
prices, tbe advantages, however, being on
tbe side of the buyer.

of
The time has arrived in the history
the South when her interests Jem.ind an
almost exclusive patronage of Southern
Literature- The stndents of Baylor Uni-
versity appreciating this fact, and desir-
ing to develop the latent literary talent of
our young men, have resolved to publish
a Magazine, devoted to general literature
and intelligence. This 13 no immature
resolution. During several of the prece-
ding sessions of the University, literary
journals, in a written form, have been sus-
tained by the students and read semi-
monthly in the college to large numbers of
citizens of Independence, maDy of whom
have desired to see Ihese Journals pub-
lished in the form of a Magazine. That
the enterprise is not impractical nor a
school-boy dream, is demonstrated by the
success which has attended similar ones in
the colleges of the older States. But the
success of our effors must depend greatly
on a liberal patronage of our fellow-citi-
zens, and relying upon the generosity and
love of home institutions, which have ever
characterized Texians, to them we confi-
dently appeal for assistance.
Each number of the Magazine shall con-
tain thirty-two pages of reading matter,
and it shall be enlarged as soon as its pa-
tronage will justify.
The subscription price will be two dol-
lars per volume, each volume consisting
of ten numbers which will be issued
monthly, during the collegiate year of I lie
University.
The first number will appear as soon as
five hundred paying subscribers shall have
been obtained.
The subscription shall be payable on
the reception of the first number, and no
name will be continued on the list unless
this regulation be complied with.
It is confidently hoped that, the friends
of Texian literature will respond liberally
to this appeal.

XS"Headache is the favorite sign by which nature
Makes known any deviation whatever from the natu-
ral state of the brain, and viewed in this light it may
be looked on as a safeguard intended to give notice of
disease which might otherwise escape attention, till
toolite to be remedied: and its Indications should ne-
v< r be neglected. Headache may be classitied under
two names, viz: Symptomatic and Idiopathic. Symp-
tomatic headache is exceedingly common and Is the
precursor of a great variety of diseases, among which
are Apoplexy. Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile di-
seeses. In its nervous form it is sympathetic of di-
sease of the stomach constituting sick hcadacJie, of
hepatic disease constituting Wfcei«Aeadac///'.of worms
constipation and other disorders of the bowels, as
well as renal and uterine afiections. Diseases of the
h#art are very frequently attended with Headache;
Amentia and plethora are also aflectlons which fre-
quently occasion headache. Idiopathic headache Is
also very common, being usually distinguished by the
name of nervous fcadachc, sometimes coming on sud-
denly tn a state of apparently sound health and pros-
trating at once the mental and physical energies, and
In other instances It comes on slowly, heralded by de-
pression of spirits or acerbity of tomper. In most
instances the pain Is in the front of the head, over
one or both eves, and sometimes provoking vomit tiug:
under this class may also be named Neuralgia.
For the treatment of either class of headache the
Cephalic Pills have been found a sure and safe remedy
relieving the most acute pains in a few uiinuts, and
bvits subtle power eradicating the diseases of which
headache ?s the unerring Index.

CORN & FLOURING MILLS
THESE Celebrated Mills, so universally known, and
acknowledged to have no superiorYor good and fast
grindinz, are of Southern manutacture as well as of
aouthern Invention, and have never failed to take the
First Premium over all other Mills wherever exhibi-
ted. At the late STATE FAIR held in Jackson, Miss.,
one of these Mills was exhibited, (size. If. inches dia-
meter. of Stone.) and GROUND ONE BUSHEL OF
CORN INTO FINE MEAL in one minute and forty-Jive
seconds; pronounced by the committee to be the
Coolest Meal ever coming from a Mill. This decision
awarded the First Premium to the Coleman Mill.
Pecnliar advantages of this Mill over all otheis
1st Simplicity of construction and durability of ma-
terial. the burrs being in a solid block.
2d The under-stone, (the runner,) being perfectly
balanced, giving It theundulatory motion, which in-
sures unlformfty In the grist.
3d The centrlfhgal action of the running stone for-
cing tb e grain from the centre the instant it fa!ls up on it
4th The eye being small, effects a great saving in
power, by breaking the grain near the perfect centre
of the stone.
5th The certainty of the grain never hanging in the
eyeoi the upper stone, and allowing the Mill to run
empty, to the great injury of the dress.
6 th The advantages of all the grinding surf act of
any given diameter of Burr, is obtained and applied in
the most economical manner combining all
the valuable principles heretofore known in the Milling
For flouring exclusively, I would recommend size 7,
30 k 36 Inches diameter of Burr,run by steam or water
power, and will guarantee them to make better fionr,
and more to the bushel of wheat, than anv other dia-
meter of Burr, on anv other plan of a mil. Size 30
inches price $330 00. Size 36 inches, price £140 00, all
ready to attach to appropriate nower. These prices
are much less than any other Mill that can be made
to do the same amount of grinding.

tion of the Mill, address WILLIS P. COLEMAN,

Dr. Billing's Carminative Syrup.
r! is an admitted fact that more lives are lost and
constitutions wrecked through the insidious action
of Diarrhoea than by any other other disease that af-
flicts man. Is there a person in this communltv who
has not suffered trom its debilitating effects ? Is'there
a parent who has not suffered an agony of mind when
gazing on the helpless form of their child, reduced to a
skeleton by Cholera Infantum ? Is there a planter on
the Trinity, Brazos or Colorado who would not gladly
give half their estates to have tbelr negroes exentpt
iromlCholera, Bloody Flux, and other diseases of the
Bowels, which annually depopulate their otherwise
prospering plantations't
Planters, relief is at hand. Merchants, Mechanics,
suffer no more. Parents fear not, the dav of dread Is
past, Billing's Carminative 8yrup is a certain cure.
Ten years of practice has proved it efficacy, physi-
cians of the olderBtates, who have been justly cele-
brated for their successful treatment of diseases of the
Bowels use It, and invariably recommend it. Minis
ters of the Gospel are loud in its praise, and all sutfer-
ere who have tried It proclaim to the world the merits
of this preparation.
