Charged wiTn the Late Fratp" in the
Aiuctaxt (Jexeral'r OmcL
Mr. Bed well who has this morning arrived
in this city from his residence three miles Mow
Waco gives us the following information In
regard to the recent attempt to take the par-;
ties implicated in the late heavy frauds in '
the Adjutant General office :
The Sherff of Waco Mr. A. E. Twaddle
received a warrant some two weeks since to
arrest J. J. Blankentdnp as having been impli-
cated by the testimony of J. A. Hines in the
bnrning of the Adjutant General's olSce. The
testimony of Iline is in substance that he
was promised one thousand dollars for burning
the Adjutant's office by B. J. Lewis and J. J.
Blankenship but that after having et fire to
the office he only received $300 from Blanken-
hip and S200 from Lewis only half the
amount promised him.
In pursuance of the alve warrant the Sher-
iff collected a posse of tomc twenty men and
proceeded to Blankenship residence four
mile below Waco on the Ea-t hide of the
river; but when he arrived at the house he
found Blankenship so strongly fortified and
aided by so many friends with arms that he re-
turned to Waco without accomplishing the ar-
rest. On the next night about the 4th int.
the Sheriff having obtained some additional
force from White Rock returned to renew his
efforts to take Blankentdilp but he found Bla n-
kenship had left his house and sought refuge
in the Brazos bottoms.
Two days after B. J. Lewis pas-ed through
Waco from Eastern Texas and proceeded on
toward Austin not knowing tlicr1 uy
warrant issued for his arrest. But the Sheriff
met him unexpectedly with his posse about
the time he reached Austin and arrested him.
The Sheriff of Austin having learned about
the name time by letter from the Sheriff of
Waco that Blankenship had eluded him and
had determined to resist licing taken went
with a force of some 30 or 40 men in pursuit of
him and met Blankenship on the road about
40 miles alwve Austin on his way toward
Austin. Blankenship now surrendered with-
out resistance and was taken to Austin where
both he and Lewis are now in custody await-
ing their trial. Lewis was taken on the 10th
and Blankcnhip on the 11th int.

BAILBOADS.
The Necessity fob Ststrm and some
Established Pj.an of CoNSTitrcriov.
Wc commend to the consideration of the
people of Texas the extract we publish to-day
from the late message of the Governor of
Georgia on the subject of railroad hi that
State. As y et w e have adopted no w ell defined
policy in Texas on the subject of internal im-
provements We have indeed been discusing
railroad and enacting charters and othem i-e
legislating on the question for many year
pat-t but yet all has thus far lieen done with-
out compass or chart. Wc liavc not even to
this day after omuchtiraeient in discussion
any settled policy adopted by the State nor
any landmarks to direct our legislation amidst
the conflicting opinion and clashing interest"
with which the public mind seems to lcome
more and more lievrildered from day to day.
The important questions which ought to con
stitute a basis for all our legislation on the
subject are still left undecided. It is yet un-
decided whether the State shall give direction
to its railroads so as to make them have a
proper connection with each other diverging
with a view to accommodate the different and
distant parts of the State and affording the
greatest benefits to the greatest number with
the least expense to the people and constitu-
ting when taken together a uniform and syin-
etrical system as a w hole ; or whether it shall
be left to private corporations to build roads
just where they please in detached sections
along our borders where they will pay iiest
consulting only their own interest and w illi-
ont regard to the accommodation of the coun
try at large or to any general system. Hi
also yet undecided whether our railroads
other internal improvements are to lie so
constructed as to give the trade of the State
to our own seaports and build up a commerce
of our own thereby keeping at home to pro-
mote the prosperity of our own State the
profits of our commerce already amounting
to several millions annually and destined to
increase to an almost nnlimitcd extent; or
whether the State aid and State bounty shall
be given to construct great thoroughfares to
carry off our commerce and all it profits to
the seaports of other State:! whence thoe
profits can never return to add to the prosper-
ity of Texas.
It will be seen that the Governor of Georgia
insists upon the necessity of absolutely con-
trolling the railroads of that State by legisla-
tion goastomake them command not only the
trade of that State but aNo of other States
to the westward and concentrate the whole
as far as possible towards her own seaports
thereby securing to that State a vast trade
that shall give prosperity and wealth to the
people and ultimately constitute a source of
immense revenue to the State. These view
appear to us to be derived from a deep and
AmtM-phrnivoforprottt na wtt nor-. .-

may te urged with equal and perhaps still
greattr force in favor of a further extension
next year the year after and so on without
limiuflon; and the consequence will be that
the forty odd charters already granted will be
made perpetual whether the companies do
anything or not. We ay the arguments for a
further extension of time may te urged with
MtiU greater forte hereafter because the longer
these companies arc In existence without doing
anything the more they will te able to extend
their influence by combinations with one
another by the distribution of stock to lead
ing men. and by the potire and rapid in-
crease in the intrinsic value of their charters
from j ear to year caused by the increasing
settlement of ilic country the increasing de
mand for transportation and the greatly en-
hanced v alue of the lands donated. Time is a
consideration of vatt importance in a country
situated as ourK Oar land bonuses a few
jearsago may not have been extravagant

ed and when the country so much needed
them. A few j ear- more and the same bonus
will hae three or four time it- original value.
H is also yet undecided not only whether
further time shall be extended to these com
panies but aKo whether the State shall give
them additional aid by a loan of money or of
the State credit by furnishing them the iron
or by endorsing their londs. Ac. We invite
the attention of our readers to the views of
the Governor of Jeorgia respecting this policy
Georgia is far in advance of all the other
States in the South in the extent of her rail
road- and other internal improvements. That
State has had long experience in the practical
working of'the variou- plans adopted and of
the advantages and evil- attendant upon each;
and it is for tiii rea-ou that we think the
recommendations contained in this message
should hate their weight with the iopleof
Texas. XotwitlMandinz the great diversity
of opinion among ur citizen- and the appa-
"rcnt conflict between the several plans now
before the public all must admit the absolute
necessity of agreeing niton something. Wc
mnst adopt some sj stem to the exclnsion of all
others and carry it out consistently and jwr-
scveringly or we shall never hate railroads.
execpfin a few of the test paying sections of
the State. We trust when our llepre-eiita-tives
meet again next July they wilt meet
prepared to do something mi this subject; for
the people arc now losing hundreds of thousand-
perhaps million' annnalbj for the
want of some means of transportation.

SUMMARY Or THE NEWS.
It will be seen that we hae but little im-
portant new s by the New Orleans mail to-day.
The affairs in Kansas will houctcr Ik inter-
esting to all and v.c therefore publish the ac-
counts in full.
We find a long article from the London
Times and another from the Liverpool Times.
loth commenting ou President Pierce mes-
lge and th'e tmestion at issue between the
two countries touching the Clayton-Ihilner
treaty and the enlistment of troops for the
Crimea. The message is pjtoVeu f in highly
complimentary terms as an able State p.i per.
Roth these leading English Journal- deprecate
the idea that any serious difficulty ran arise
to interrupt the friendly relations that have
existed between the two (toiemments for the
past half ccntnry and which are so nece-sjry
for their' mutual prosperity. If the lomlon
Times expresses the sentiment and feelings of
the existing Government and the people of
England as we doubt not it doe then w e can-
not sec why a friendly understanding may not
noon be had. and all questions amicably ad
justed.
Wc notice considerable excitement in ew
Orleans arising out of an assault made upon
Mr. Corcoran of the Delta on Saturday night
last as he was returning home fiom the St.
Charles Hotel. Mr. Corcoran seems to lmc
been seriously injured. He sajtsina card to
the public that as he left the St. Charles he
pafued through a large crowd among whom
he recognized none except "P. -. Luiiileu and
Haughcrd Co. the well known professional
thuggcrs" an he calls them. He proceeded ou
toward his lodging when he was suddenly
attached in front and from tehind. He
saj: UI am morally certain that my thug-
gcrs followed me out of the St. Charles bar
room; that they were no" other than Raugher
& Co- aforesaid; and that F. A. Luuisden
must have been privy to their murderous
Intent." A certificate of Dr. Hunt i also given
to the effect that the weapons nwwt have teen
deadly. He docs not know whether the
wounds were inflicted with a slung shot or
brass knucMes as he had never seen either of
thoe wcajons. If we may judge from the
account in the New Orleans pjcn there is a
fearful and disgraceful state of things existing
in that city between the political parties.
We have dates from California to the 21st
ult. Walker's force is said to hae increased
to 1000 strong. AUic State offices in Cali-
fornia are now filled by the American party
who liaie alo a majority in both branches of
the Legislature. The Legislature organized
on the Sth nlU electing all the offices from the
nominees of the Know Nothing Caucus. On
the same night a grand inauguration ball
was given in Sacramento after the inaugura-
tion of Gov. Johnson. The mines continue to
yield their usual supply and altout four and a
half million are shipped per month. Recent
developments have demonstrated that up to
thi time only the surface of the mines has
teen skimmed over while va?t and inexhaus-
tible riches lie hidden at a greater depth lie-
low. Date from Oregon to the 12th of January
have teen recived. There appear to lw con-
tinual trouble with the Indijns. LU't. Col.
Kelly had attacked Fort Walla-Walla whuh
the Indians had previously taken and a severe
battle en-med in which the Indians were de-
feated -with great Slaughter on the 0th. 11th
and nth of December. The acconnts of the
various conflicts with the Indians in that
Territory occupy a large space in our exchan
ges.
Wc have alo news from the Sandwich
Islands to December 29th. A fearful olcanic
eruption had broken out and threatened to
oerwhclm the town of Hilo w ith a torrent of
lava.
We have the proceedings of the South-western
Commercial Convention in session at
Richmond. Virginia to the 4th day of the ses-
sion. We must postpone noticing these pro-
ceedings at present for want of time and
their great length.
The proceedings of the House'of Represen-
tatives on the 2d int- are given in detail.
It wa on that day that the plurality rule was
adopted and after four balltlugs under that
rule Mr. Banks elected. The final election was
had on the 1 33d balloting for Speaker -when
Ranks recived 103 votes Aiken of South
Corolina 100; Fuller C; Compbell 4; Wells
1; Messr. Itroom and Clark of N'.Y. Cnllin
and Da is of Md. Mallard and Whiney voted
for Fuller. Messrs. Dunn Harrison. Moore
and Scott voted for Camptell and Hickman
for Well. Thews balloting on this day were
attended with great excitement.
0"F-Aoti!ek XEwspjirER. We have seen
the prospectus of another paper to be published
in Waco by F. L. Denison and R. M. Dillingsley
and to be called The Brazo Statesman. This
paper is to te Democratic in its otilics. The

was noticed in our paper yesterday morning
that a meeting would be held at Smith V
Xixon" Hall to sympathize with the fugi-
tives This we regarded as untimely and un-
called for and we were glad to find last night
that the proprietors of the hall had refused to
allow it to be used for that purpose and the
use of other halls was also refused so that no
meeting was held. Xo good coald result from

Sen irons: Before announcing the result
of the motion nhich has been made justice to
my own feelings and to this body claim for me
the freedom nf a few remarks ; an occasion so
appropriate I cannot permit to pass without
ofleringyoumy warmest congratulations for
the harmony and kind feelingnhich has at all
times manifested itself in your deliberations.
At the same time I would return my most pin-
cere tlunk- for the deference and courtey
which has at all times been shown me since
the commencement of my official connection
with. urn. It has been no ordinary cause of
gratification .indplcasnre to me to recognize
amongst joununv of those with w home I first
entered on the theatre of political life and
still again those with whom I haw teen as-
sociated iu every consecutive term it has been
my fortune to sene. Another cause of grati-
fication is the resolution I find on my table
affording evidence of continued confidence and
regard. I lune only In return to offer assur-
ance that Ion:: as time shall last and grati-
tude remain a redeeming irtne of our nature-
association past and present will be treas-
ured in deep memory and deeper still as time's
unyielding tide shall d.iv by day sweep the
sand- of life from teneath our feet.
5Iy fondest Iiojh is that in returning to your
home you may te able to pre-ent the record
of your action umlefiled; that with conscience-
pnreas ermine radiant and glowing
as the spangled Heavens above n thatrcwjnl
may te your to which loftiness of purpose
and the most exalted unie alone can entitle
you.
In thN hour of our separation let us reinein-
ter that there are many of our former co-laborers
and associates who have teen swept
away by the unrelenting hand of time that
liefV tenure is teyond unr control and that in
the fullness of His Providence it is left to Cod
alone to work all things to the end His wis-
ilom has annointed. I now nronounre the

ir we look to the geographical position of
the! State it is not sinjml.tr that she has taken
the lead of our Southern sister" in works
or Internal Improvement. She occupies the
gup between the Southern spur or the Alle-
ghany Mountains and the Atlantic and is
therefore the portal through which the travel
and products of the great tallies of the West
must find their transit to the --highway of
nations." Such a position fixes upon her a
heavy but glorious responsibility involving a
mission for the future worthy the most com-
preliensite gra-p of enlightened statesman-
ship. On the other hand her varied nnd iu-
cxliaiistihle mineral and agricultural resour-
ces afford a perpetual stimulus and prompt to
constant efforts to secure the inean of their
development. These consideration1 create n
twofold obligation upon the Legislature; the
one to adjacent State- the other to her own
tast internal interest. Hence to comprehend
fully their legitimate scope of action the Leg-
islature should assume a lofty stand-point from
w Inch they can sun ey the whole field. Holding
In her hand the key which opens the Atlantic
to the West the State should so use her power
as to force by a compulsion mutually advan-
tageous the travel and produce which seek the
ship to become tributary to her own weatlh
prosperity and greatness. Looking totlits as
the light to guide her general policy she should
likewise as the proximate motitc of action
keep in view the development of her natural
resource" and the advancement or the peo-
ple iu all the elements of the highest and best
civilization. Hence the paramount necessi-
ty of well defined and well regulated system
in our .theme of Internal Improvements. It
does not follow that i charter for n railroad
must be granted ns a matter of course when
aked. . enlightened ligi-lature compre-
hending fully the system its design and what
is be-t calculated to advance the general wel-
fare will inquire whether the charter asked
is ii harmony with that system what will be
the bearing- of its connection without the
State what its effect In det eloping our re-
sources and what its relation to other works
under which large interests have tecome or
are likely to tecome iuvoltcd and tested?
The system in Gcorgio though in its infancy
is yet sufficiently advanced to indicate the ul-
timate shape which it is likey to assume. On
her eastern border he has three point" which
have formed and are seeking to form connex-
ions with the various sections internal nnd
external who-e productions will foster their
growth and prosperity. These points uris
Augusta Savannah and Brunswick. The twi
former areconuccted by roads completed with
Tennessee nnd Alabama; and the latter p'w-sev-ing
u harbor unsurpassed by any on the
Atlantic coast south of the Chesapeake and
flanked by an extensive territory covered by
the best pine field in the. world and of wondor-
ful agricultural fertility socks a connecticn
with the vast region that skirts the Gulf of
Mexico. In a word thee three cities form the
basis of our system and the lines through the
State which connect or propose to connect
them with her own great divisions within
and cxhaustless feeders without constitute its
frame work or skeleton. Its symmetrical
completion should both define utul limit the
policy of legislative action. It will be most
speedily accomplished by private capital aided
by the loan of State credit. Such charters
and such only as may be required for necess-
ary intermediate connections and fa.cilities
should be granted to fill out the system; and
these should be constructed by unaided private
capital. But to complete the skeleton of the
svstem. so as to extend an arm into cadi of the
grand geographical sections or divisions of
tne state site may witu propriety ana wisuom
lend her credit under securities and guaran-
tiee which will place her beyond the contin-'
gency of ultimate liability and loss. To that
extent the Legislature may go hut to that ex-
tent only should it go and with weU consider-
ed caution and well guarded prudence.
Tlie direct appropriation of money or sub-
scription for stock by the State to aid in the
construction of railroads is considerered to be
unwise and inexpedient. Its tendency is to
emasculate private enterprise by removing
the necessity of self-reliance. It will compli-
cate the State with individual interests which
experience teaches to he dangerous to the
public welfare. It will increase the State
debt and consequently create a necessity for
burdensome taxation.
The construction of the Western & Atlantic
Railroad by the State is regarded-both as a
precedent nnd nn argument in favor of direct
appropriations in aid of Internal Inprovement.
But it ceases to be forcible iu either point of
view when wc consider the circumstance
which prompted that magnificent project. At
that time there was not a railrod in Georgia.
Private capital refnsed to be thus invented lie-
cause experiment had not shown either the
practicability or profitableness of such works.
Besides the region which it penetrates though
abounding in agricultural and mineral fer-
tility is mountainous and difficult of access.
It was socially and physically severed from
the lower region of the State and advantage-
ous markets for the products of its industry.
On the one hand railroad enterprise needed
the stimulus of the example; and on the other
the Nbrth-tvcst was incapable of development
by private capital. Hence the State embarked
in the enterprise; and if no other advantage
shall ever be realized the enhanced value of
the lands of Cherokee (Jeorgia amply remun-
erates the State for the outlay and vindicates
the far-slshted wisdom of its nrolectors. The
justification of the State was the necessity of
tne case; nut wnere tne necessity noes not
exist the reason for the policy does not ob-
tain. But viewed in another light the building of
the western & Atlantic Railroad by tne Mate
does furnish n sound reason why other sections
may ask with propriety her fostering aid in
the form of n loan of her credit. That work
cot not less than $5000000. The region
through which it runs was then tery sparsely
nonulated. and consequently contributed a
comparatively small portion of the expense of
us construction. Aiiuuie ami piouinern ieorg-
ia terc the tax; they bore it generously and
patriotically. It i therefore not arrogant or
unreasonable to ask in return such aid from
the State ns will develops other sections and
bring them within reaih ofadvantaceons mar-
kets. The request would come with the force
of an appeal to me magnanimity oi ino-e
who are the special beneficiaries of this large
State beneficence to practice the spirit ot en-
lightened reciprocation..
There are those whose patriotism and intel-
ligence are entitled to great respect who
earnestly advocate the policy of the State aid-
ing works or Internal Improtement by issu-
ing her Bonds for a snfficient amount per
mile to purchase the rails to all railroad com-
panies which shall have completed the grad-
ing Ac of their respective roads and made
them ready for laying the superstructure.
But I regard it as w ild and hazardous and the
adoption of such a measure as the worst
calimitv that could be indicted upon the
State. "Ifjhere could possibly be any ueces-'
sities which would justify it they certainly do
not exist in Georgia. Railroad enterprise
with us does not need stimulation but rather
wholesome and judicious direction. Such a
t D imt imwever. would multiply tho-e

too rapidly. A system of Internal Iinnrote-
ments should be rather a growth develop!

laws of sotirtl and commercial progress than
the artificial result oi resin-" luiium-ui uu
ill-guided but well meant legislation. Let us
shun both Sylla and Charibdis and move
cautiously through the straits between the
two extremes.

Soctherx Commercial Convention.
This body closed its session of four days at
Richmond Virginia on the 4th inst by the
adoption of several resolutions having for their
object the promotion of Southern Commerce.
These resolutions set forth the necessity of a
line of steamers between eome Southern port
or ports and some port In. Europe ; the atten-
tion of Southern Legislatures to be invoked in
behalf of the object; and Southern Senators
and Representatives In Congress are requested
in all their votes for Northern mail steamers
to Insist upon a clause for a like line for the
Southern ports.
A resolution in favor or reducing or repeal-
ing the duties on railroad iron was adopted;
also resolutions In favor of the Southern route
railway from the Mississippi river to the
Pacificocean and asking help for that object
from the Legislatures and citizens of Southern
and Southwestern States.
A committee of six was appointed to memor-
ialize the abote named Legislatures to unite
with Virginia in the formation or a line or
lines or Atlantic steamers to ply between
Hampton Roads and other ports or the South
to Europe.
It was also resolted that the license tax on
all direct importations should be released; that
Southern manufactures should in all cases te
used when to be obtained on as good terms as
Northern ; that Southern men should patronize
Southern literary institutions and books ; and
in excursions for health or pleasure should
give a preference to Southern watering places.
It was rcsolvetlthat the next meeting should
he held at Savannah Georgia on the second
Monday in December next; that information
on all subjects pertaining to the object of the
Convention be obtained by members; and that
the people in their primary assemblies be in-
vited to express their opinions on these sub-
jects. Tlie Convention then adjourned after thanks
