New Cotton.—The New Orleans Del
ta of the 28tli ult., announces the receipt of
two bales of new cotton from Galveston,
Texas. Their arrival is two days later
than the earliest receipts of last year.
---
BS8TA friend has shown us a letter from
La Grange, Texas, dated July 16th, from
which we make the following extract:
■“Prospects for crops here are very fine,
especially cotton. The health of the coun
try is very good. We have another
exciting canvass for Governor, Sam.
Houston, Independent, Know-Nothing,
Humbug, against Runnels, Democratic
nominee. I think "Old Sam’ will be again
defeated.”
Tub Democratic National Conven
tion.—The New York Herald culls upon
the Democratic National Committee to
change the place for the meeting of the
approaching Democratic National Con
vention from Charleston, South Carolina,
ns fixed- by the Cincinnati Convention, to
New York. The suggestion is the result,
the writer alleges, the fears of delegates
from rural districts of the unhealthiness of
Charleston after the 1st of April, before
which time the Convention can hardly be
held without depriving the party of the
alleged advantage of delayiug the making
of the ticket until as late a period as pos
sible. Now, it is to be presumed that
the committee will take due care in call
ing the Convention to insure the health of
the unacclimated delegates against any
possible danger from their brief sojourn in
Charleston. That is to say, that they will
be brought together ere the sun shines
down upon the streets of Charleston so
fiercely as to endanger the lives of gentle
men with bile so stirred up as that of the
delegates and the thousands of outsiders
usually milliner ami hanlincr arniimi llu»m.
will surely be. As for the idea of indu
cing the National Committee to take the
responsibility of directing the Convention
to useet elsewhere after the Cincinnati
Convention directed it to meet at Charles
lion, it is simply preposterous. The Com
mittee possesses no such authority, nor
will they venture to assume any such.—

Contraction of Mail Facilities.—
In consequence of the defeat of the Post
Office Appropriation bill by the Black Re
publican party in the last Congress, the
Post-Master General has been compelled
to contract the mail facilities of the peo
ple, all over the country. We hear of
many mail-routes in this vicinity in which
the service has been reduced one-half, and
we suppose it is the case in most of the
stage-routes throughout the United States.
This has been necessary in order to ena
ble the Department to go on at all; and
if the people feel any inconvenience and
.suffer any loss from it, let them bear in
mind that it is entirely due to the factious
conduct of the Black Republicans, in re
fusing to make the necessary and usual
appropriation for the Post-Office Depart
ment.— [New Hampshire Patriot.
Important Treaty Between the United
States and Mexico.
Washington, July 26.—The treaty
made by Minister McLane wkh the
Mexican Government has been received.
This treaty gives to the United States the
right of way across the Northern Slates of
Mexico between the Rio Grande aud the
ports on the Gulf of California, with guar
antees of the safety and protection ot its
citizens. The right of way and valuable
transit privileges are secured to the
American company holding the Isthmus
of Tehuantepec. The privilege of erect
ing manufacturing warehouses at the
termini of the several transit routes has
been secured. Also the right of transport
ing troops and munitions of war over such
routes, and to send and protect the troops
if Mexico fails to do so. Also a free entry
and transit of goods consigned to Ameri
can citizens of Arizona through the polls
of the Gulf of California and across Sonora.
This treaty guarantees the entire and un
questionable freedom of religious opinions
of worship throughout the Republic.—
There is a clause in this treaty which in
dicates a willingness on the part of the
Mexican Government to aoeept a modified
form of Protectorate from the United Stales
whenever the latter siguifies its readiness
to form such an engagement.
THE WAB ENDED.
We clip the following article, in refer
ence to the closing of the war in Europe,
from the Memphis Appeal. Our readers
are referred to the foreign news in our
columns for additional information.
The intelligence of peace in Europe,
will, we presume, take most of our readerB
by surprise. Napoleon commenced the
war with the avowed intention of relieving
Italy from the Austrian yoke, from the Ti
cino to the Adriatic sea. In a short but
vigorous and brilliant campaign, he drove
the Austrians from the soil of Piedmont,
which they bad invaded, and left them
without a foot of ground in the whole of
Lombardy, Irom the Ticino to the Mincio.
At this point the dazzling progress of a
field campaign must be exchanged for the
comparatively dull and tedious operations
of the siege—the allies were before the
four fortifications of the ‘Strategic Square,’
and they could not advance into Venitia
until those strongholds were subdued.
But, a3 an offset against this, the French
tleet, in great force, had reached the Ad
riatic sea, and forces were about to be
landed for the purpose of completing the
conquest of Venitia, while the allied Sov
ereigns held the Austrian army cooped up
in the Strategic Square. The chances in
favor of the allies fulfilling their engage
nent to carry on their work until the whole
of Austrian Italy was delivered from its
oppressors, never looked so promising—so
certain. With complete conquest within
his very grasp, Napoleon makes a peace
that leaves the whole of Venitia under the
heel of the Austrian oppressor!
We find the whole of Lombardy irans
(erred to Victor Emanuel, King ol Sar
dinia, a family connection of Louis Na
poleon. The Emperor of Austria appears
to have saved his pride by making the
cession to France, the Emperor Natoleon
then transferred the ceded province to Sar
dinia. Central Italy is left under the
“Honorary Presidency of the Pope.”
What that imports we are yet to learn;
the phrase at least gives us no reason to
expect that the Papal Government will be
called to account for the perpetration of the
massacre of Perugia, and leaves us in doubt
as to what may be the fate of Modena and
other places that had declared for the
allies and free Italy. Venitia, the land
around which cluster a croud of classic
associations—Venice, the Queen, the beau
tiful—are still the property of Austria.
Venice is yet in chains; her gondoliers
cannot yet sing songs of freedom in her
liquid thoroughfares; the flag of the stran
ger still floats over the palace of the Doges ;
the tread of the German intruder still echoes
in the square of St. Mark. Venice is yet
in chains, the hopes of her patriot sons are
extinguished, and the sighs of an oppress
ed people must continue to (ill with mel
ancholy the very home of beauty. But
Venice is to “form an integral part of the
Italian Confederacy ;” another phrnse the
meaning of which we must wait to discov
er—if it has ft meaning, and be anything
more than a “glittering generality.”
The reader will not fail to ask; What
of the daring and patriotic Garibaldi?
What of the high hopes panting in the bo
som of Kossuth ? We shall soon know;
but all will anticipate a story of disap
pointed hopes, deceived expectations, and
bitter despair. But a fraction of Gari
baldi’s yearning is realized, and Hunga
ry is left helpless and expiring .in the
meshes of the usurper. The liberal think
ers of Europe generally will be deeply
disappointed at the merely partial realiza
tion of their hopes, and the growing popu
larity of Napoleon will be checked by his
failure to make good his noble promise—
to leave behind at the conclusion of the
war a free Italian nation. The name of
Victor Emanuel, it will be observed,
does not appear in the peace making ar
rangements. Napoleon was the princi
pal in the matter. Whether the King of
Sardinia was satisfied with an arrangement
that left the fairest portion of Italy in the
power of Austria, we have no means of
iudging at present—if he objected he
would probably be told to take the brilliant
prize made over to linn, and to be quiet
and mind his own business.
In commenting as we have done upon
the peace, we have been regarding the
Italian side of the question alone; we
ought justly to consider the position of Na
poleon—that the war was a terribly ex
haustive one, in blood and treasure ; that
France could gain no pecuniary return for
her vast outlay; that in drving the Aus
trians from Lombardy, she had relieved
herself of a bad neighbor, and that was all
in which her immediate interests were
concerned. To have passed the Miucio
would have been to come into collision
with the Pope and his ecclesiastics, whose
enmity, coupled with that of the spiritual
subjects of the Holy Father throughout the
world, is no trifle. Then there was Prus
sia hardly withheld—with the weight of
combined Germany—from coming to open
rupture. England also stood by with
snarling and suspicious opposition. VV ilh
these it was almost impossible to avoid em
broilment. Cities in the Papal domin
ions—with which it was the policy ot the
Allies to avoid interference—were one by
one breaking out in rebellion and seeking
protection of Sardinia—Garibaldi kail
“ violated the Tyrol,” in other words had
intruded upon German territory—Kos
suth was about to spread the flames of
war by raising a rebellion in Hungary-—
to take the responsibility of all this, with
Prussia and England standing threaten
ingly by, and with the friendly power of
Russia most probably disapproving, was ,
more than Napoleon could withstand.— |
What France—what Paris may say to
this abrupt termination ot hostilities, this ,
sudden cessation from a half performed |
piece of labor—we have yet to see.

Abduction of an Arkansas Girl. 1
About two years ago, we gave an ac-j
count of the abduction of a white girl,:
(snys the Washington Telegraph,) who, j
it was said, resided in Arkansas. It was
stated thnt she had been persuaded to leave j
her residence by a person who represented ,
that he hod received instructions from her;
friends in California, to take her there, by j
the way of Now Orleans. Alter being
detained in that city for some time, she
finally ascertained that she had been sold
as a slave, and made her case known to
the keeper of the parish prison in Carroll
ton, through whom it was made public.
The New Orleans Mirror, of the 27th
ult., publishes the following article, which
refers to her:
“An interesting case was tried in the
Fifth District Court, about a week ago.
A pretty brunette, about seventeen years
of ngo, calling herself Alexina Morrison,
had been sold to James White, a negro
trader in this city, as a slave. About
eighteen months ago she ran away, and
sought protection as a white girl, in Car
rollton. A suit for her freedom was in
stituted forthwith. At the trial of the
case, in Carrollton, the jury failed to
agree, and by a change of venue, the cnse
was transferred to this city. The trial in
the Fifth District Court occupied three
days, and as scientific experts were unable
to find any evidence of African descent in
the girl, a verdict establishing her status,
as a free white girl, was rendered by the
jury. It was set forth in the pleas that
she had been kidnapped from her home
in Arkansas, and sold into slavery. A
good deal of enthusiasm was manifested
around the court-room in favor of the girl,
and a collection on her behalf was at once
made. It is likely that the decision in the
case will be followed by a suit for dama
ges, and if it can be made to appear that
norenn tirkn ntirr’Kooml hor luirl ruuen.,
to suspect that she was free, he will be
heavily mulcted in the premises,”
-
The Fr ebch Field Telegraph.—A
war correspondent, writing from Brescia,
on the 4tli of June, reports a fact which
has not hitherto transpired, concerning the
scientific appliances of elec'.rity to war
purposes. It would appear that the re
markable precision and unity of the French
evolutions were accomplished by a novel
sort of flying aids-de-camp. From each
corps, once in a position, a horseman rode
off to the next division, unrolling, on his
rapid course, a light wire, which no time
was lost in adapting to a field apparatus;
and the process was repeated all along tiie
French line of twelve miles. Hence the
movements of the whole army were known
and regulated like clock-work, " from
dawn to dewy eve,” on that decisive day.
This arrangement had been planned in
Paris, and a supply of gutta-percha-covered
metal thread forwarded with secresy and
dispatch. It has done its work, and the
patent may now be disclosed. Portable
galvanism beats portable gas. It was al
ready known to both armies that a special
telegraphic corps operated in the rear of
the allies, and laid wires as fast as an ad
vance was made. M. Lair is the chief
engineer, and the first Frenchman that
entered Novara, while the Austrians were
scarce yet out of it, was M. Gauthier of
that staff, who set up Ill's box tfhd tele
graphed the details of the retreating corps
at tlie moment they were outside the gate.
Lonato, Monteehiaro, and Castiglione,
were in instant communication with Bres- .
cia and Milan, when evacuated by the
foe, on the 23d.
Interior of Africa.-A young French
man, who has often visited the American
missionaries on the Gaboon river, in Af
rica, informed them of his recent excur
sion up the river Nazareth, east of Cape
Lopez. He'penetrated three hundred and
fifty miles into the country, and describes
it as beautiful, and that it is inhabited by
a dense population, who are industrious
and ingenious. He crossed prairies sixty
miles long, covered with verdure, abound

The Balloon “Atlantic.”—Mr. La
Mountain, who was the companion of '
Professor Wise in his recent long and peri
lous air-voyage, is remaining at Water- [
town, N. Y., reconstructing their damaged
vessel, with which he proposes to make an
ascension from that place, on the 11th of 1
August. His friends from New York city
propose to place in his hands any amount
of money, not exceeding twenty thousand (
dollars, for the immediate construction of
a new balloon, with which to accomplish
the trans Atlantic voyage this season.

Tiie American Mahometans.—In a !
letter from Salt Lake City, dated on the i
17th of July, it is stated as a remarkable •
fact, that the “ institution ” of polygamy is
becoming unpopular among the Mormons,
since the accession of the recent large im- i
migration from the United States; and i
that Brigham Young is beset with appli
cations for bills of divorce. In conse
quence of this state of affairs, the “ Proph
et” has issued orders to suspend the cere- l
tnony of “ sealing.” d

Chances in Battle.—The French S
»rmy fired 25,000,000 cartridges in the I
Crimean war, and vet they did not hit! -
25,000 men. or one in a thousand. This
shows that the risk of being shot in a ^
cattle is very little greater than the chance
if being killed by lightning. It also t.
ihows that “ sharp shooting” in Europe
loes not mean what it does in Kentucky.
\i the battle of New Orleans nearly q
svery bullet fired by the Americans cost J
he British the life of a soldier. In the
lame lime that it look the English to
round eight men, the Americans killed ,

Bhaddock’s Sash.— It is said that
Braddock was borne off the field in a
tumbril, and then put upon a horse, but
was at la3t carried in a hammock or litter.
Doubtless the latter was formed by his
sash fastened to poles. This sash has an
interesting history. It was of red silk,
very large and strong. In long after
years it is said to have come to the pos
session of a gentleman in New Orleans,
which is probable enough, for Braddock
died with no near relative to reclaim it—
fatherless, motherless, childless, and with
out brother or sister. After the Mexican
war of 1846 had begun, this gentleman
sent the sash to General Gaines, with an
injunction to present it to the General who
should bear himself best in that war. Af
ter the battle of Buena Vista, Gaines be
lieved that the trophy had been won, and
hastened to present it to General Taylor.
With reluctance, and after much persua
sion, he took it, put it into his military
chest, and kept it until he died—on the
9th day of July, 1850, the 95th anniversary
of Braddock’s defeat—another of the sad
and singular coincidences with which our
story of to-A|y abounds. It has wrought
in it „ E. B. 1707,” and had uponitstains
of blood .Additional proof of its authenticity
is in the fact that Braddock’s father, whose
name he bore, was made a Brigadier Gen
eral in the Coldstreams in 1707.
It is said that when Braddock died he
bequeathed to Washington his horse and
holsters, and his faithful body servant,
Bishop, whom he had bought in Virginia.
This is probable. Washington’s own
servant in these campaigns was Alston—
John. But in after years he had a ser
vant Bishop. He it was who held his
horse so long in 1759, while he courted
and plighted his troth to his future wife,
Mrs. Martha Custis. And in his will he
gives legacies to daughters of both Alston
and Bishop.—[Veeck’s Oration at Cist’s
