Mr. Stephens’ Speech.—On our first
page will be found extracts from the late
able speech of this gentleman. We trust
our readers will give it a careful perusal.
In reference to the re-opening of the Slave
Trade, we assert that Federal laws against
it are unconstitutional—that the subject
belongs exclusively to the States, and that
Congress should let them regulate it tc
suit their wants. And further, that “ il
property in human beings be morally
right, then the morality of the Bible, 01
the Constitution of the United Slates, and
of the laws of Arkansas stand vindica
ted. If it is morally right to enslave men
in the United States, it is morally right tc
enslave men of the same race every
where. The same code of ethics which
iustifies slavery here will uphold and
justify it in Africa or anywhere else.
The right here recognized, to buy, owe
and sell men, is institutional and exists ic
Africa under their municipal regulations.
Morally considered, the right we have ant!
exercise of buying human chattels from
Virginia slave-breeders, justifies us ir
purchasing similar merchandise from
African masters.”
Memphis & Little Rock Railroad
A correspondent of the Memphis Appea
writing from Devall’s Bluff, under date o
the 24th ult., states that this Railroad i
now permanently located from Little Rod
to Devall’s Bluff, and that the largest par
of the line is now under contract for gra
ding, and the work commenced, and add
that "the heretofore vexed question abou
the permanent location of the road is set
tied, and the work is now progressing.”
The road, we learn, will run some tw
and a half miles south of Brownsville, an'
it is much desired that it will not injur
the future prospects of tho place, and it i
calculated that all the business will still b
done there. The building of a depot, it i
maintained, will not injure the towr
although it is only two and a half miles of!
The Appeal's correspondent further re
marks:
"The location of the road being completei
the engineer has already laid off the depot o
White river, at Devall’s Bluff', and the owner
of the Bluff have caused a number of busines
and resident lots to be laid off around and ad
joining said depot. It now presents a rar
chance to merchants and business men tolocat
there.”
So we art to have two other busines
places in Prairie county, one at Devall’
Bluff and the other at Brownsville. YY
have no objection lo the building of thi
road, nor to the building of cities at both c
the above points, but don’t attempt to sad
die us with a railroad tax, or use our in
ternal improvement or other county fund
for such purposes.
Hayti.—The JVcio Orleans Crescen,
of a recent date, shows the absurdity of th
interest manifested for Hayti, in the con
dition and prospects of that “benighte
spot,” in the following style:
As it is now, that island is a mere nui
sauce to the nations—a blur on the earth'
surface—useless to itself and to cveryhod
else, besides being dangerous to us as a ren
dezvous for runaways. A white man can
not laud on its shores without liability to in
suit, aud commercial transactions cannc
be had with its people without liability l
robbery; nine-tenths of its inhabitants ar
as much heathens as ever their fellows wer
in Africa. Still, there are those who seer
to consider the Haytien as “a fellow na
tion a people entitled to consideration a
a sovereign people—a nation—instead o
the mob of lawless black ruffians whic
they are, the circumstance of possessinj
it being the only title which they have t
the island, aud which should be ignored b;
the hand of an enlightened power, a right
eous power which would act for their good
One need not be a prophet to predict tha
not as many years will elapse ere this wil
be, as have since the sun of French au
thority set in Hayti in that iremendou
saturnalia of blood, amid which was lai<
the basis of the miserable experiment o
the negro’s capacity for self government
which is now drawing to a close. It
closing is the only true hope for Hayti.
Swamp Lands.—Two patents, (Nos
7 and 8,) of Swamp aud Overflowet
Lands in the Champagnole District, enur
ing to the State of Arkansas, under an ac
of Congress, have been transmitted by th<
Commissioner of the General Land Office
to the Governor of that State. The for
mer of these patents is (or 2,S07 Si, am
the latter for 3,196 85 acres ; and the;
have been presented to the President o
the United States for signature.—[Wash

Hungaby.—An intelligent Hungarian
writing to the London Times, says tha
the idea of a successful revolution in Hun
gary is an illusion. He asserts that Hun
gary cannot be made independent of Aus
iria, except with the consent of the grea
European powers. Nor does he believi
that it is desired bv the great mass of th«
Hungarians, who simply ask that I ranci
Joseph, as King of Hungary, shall re
store to them their ancient rights and pri
viloges.

TEXAS ELECTION.
New Orleans, August 5.—The steam

TENNESSEE ELECTION.
| The Memphis Jlppeal of Saturday last,
suya:
Our returns this morning arc some
what meager, and not of so satisfactory a
character as we could have desired.
Various conflicting rumors were received
by telegraph and railroad yesterday, but
we must content ourselves with a simple
announcement of the details that have
come to hand.
Shelby County.—The official vote of
three precincts is wanting to complete the
returns from this county. As soon as we
can procure the vote of these we shall
publish a tabular statement of the entire
, vote for convenience of future reference to
1 our readers. For the present, suffice it to
1 say we have given a majority for Harris,
i and have elected our entire county ticket.
; Avery’s majority in the district at the last
t election was 370 votes which we believe
will be fully sustained.
We received the following private dis
* patch by telegraph last evening:
t Jackson, August 5.—All the county is
. heard from. Sneed’s majority is 486;
Netherland’s 455; Hurt’s 393. Avery
gains 94 over Stephen’s vote, and Me
5 Clannahan’s gain is 104. Hurrah furpld
* Madison !
j We learned by private dispatch from a
3 reliable source late last evening that the
, news from Carroll, Gibson, Dyer, Obion,
and Weakley counties indicated most un
9 mistakably that Atkins was elected to
> Congress.
Fayette County.—Majorities for
. Harris, 76; Avery, 8; Payne, 73; Ing
ram, 23 ; Whitmore, 54. Curtin receiv
ed 46 votes.
’ Tipton County.—The impression is
s that there is a majority of 300, which is a
* gain of 50 votes. It was believed on the
' cms that Atkins was elected.
, RIadison County.—So far as heard
from Avery gains 94 votes,
s Chattanooga, August 5.—The vote in
Hamilton county for Governor about as
before. Brabson mukeis large gains, and
' is probably elected. A. BURCH.
J Nashville, August 5.—I am not able
I yet to estimate me result, me news inns
. far received from East Tennessee is very
unfavorable, and it also shows a gain for
Netherland in Middle Tennessee.
s I estimate that the West will make a
small gain for Harris, and I do not yet ad
mit a deduction of our majority below that
• for Buchanan. Menees and Ready are
3 beaten. The House will be Democratic,
- I am confident, and the Senate is doubtful,
j E. J. EASTMAN.
Nashville, August 5.—In twenty-six
counties heard form the Opposition party
has a nett gain of thirty-two hundred.
® Brabson, the Opposition candidate in Third
^ District is elected. Both parties claim the
First District. The Opposition claim the
election of Stokes in the Fourth District.
t In addition to the above, we learn
j from gentlemen who left Memphis on
) Saturday evening, and arrived here yes
3 terday, that Harris is undoubtedly re-elect
1 ed Governor by an increased majority;
s Avery re-elected to Congress from the
f Memphis District, by an increased ma
i jority, and Atkins re-elected to Congress
! over Etheridge by a majority of from 50
] to 70 votes.
ALABAMA ELECTION.
Alabama has given a majority oftwen
' ty-five thousand for the Democracy. This
j speaks well for the chivalrous Democrats
1 in our neigboring State, and entitles her
to all honor and all praise !—[Vicksburg

f A HArrv Man.—George Wilkins
, Kendall, formerly editor of the New
i Orleans Picayune, but who for u number
of years past has lived upon his farm,
near Braunfels, Texas, writes thus glow
• iugly to a friend in Boston:
I have now about five thousand sheep,
and all fine stock. I have realized seven
t ty-five per cent, profit per annum on the
i investment, since I have been here, which
, will do for hard times. Flocks are now
in healthier and finer condition than ever.
I My good luck has uow lasted three years,
r without intermission. I went to New Or
f leans last Christinas time, with my wife
■ and oldest girl; wus gone six weeks,
which was quite long enough. I would
not live in a city if you would give me
one. I am in the enjoyment of the very
; best health, and am now 10 years young
er than I was 10 years ago—and 20
years gained in the life of a man passed
the middle age, is something worth the
t while. *****

LETTER FROM MEMPHIS.
Mi Mi ms, Aug. 2, 1859.
Mn. Editor:—Having a leisure hour,
I will jot down some items which may
prove interesting to your readers. It re
quires quite an effort to attempt to write
inything during the present “ hot term."
This summer is the hottest we have had in
several years; in fact, one of the oldest
inhabitants says it is hotter weather than
lie ever knew in Memphis, with the ex
ception of the summer of 1S44. We have
been afflicted with this intense heat for the
past month, and from the way that “ Old
Sol” now pours down upon our heads his
scorching rays, we will have more of the
' same sort,” for some time to come.
The manager of the Gaiety Theater
tas been on a trip to the North, where he
sngaged a new 6tock company to perform
>ere the coming season. Mrs. Hattie
Bernard is the only one of the new com
pany that I now recollect, who has ever
icted in Memphis. She was a great fa
vorite here, and her engagement will meet
he approbation of our theatre-going citi
tens. If the manager has selected others
of equal merit, we shall have a company
which will afford a place of amusement
worthy of public patronage.
Our city is crowded with strangers from
the South, many of whom are on their
way to the Bailey Springs, or to those of
Bcershcba and Valhermosa; while some
are bound to Lookout Mountain, and other
pleasant summer retreats. I am gratified
that Southerners begin to appreciate the
places of summer resort by which they are
surrounded, and are learning to stay at
home, where their negro property is safe,
and where they are not insulted by aboli
tionists, in preference to spending their
money at the North, with men who are
not bound to us by any tie save that of
self-interest. An interest is springing up
for the welfare of the South, by her own
citizens, many of whom have not hereto
fore manifested any great concern in her
prosperity. It is to be hoped that many
years will not elapse before we shall be
come a united Southern Republic, untram
meled by the galling and oppressive fet
ters of the North. With Cuba in our pos
session, and the slave-trade re-opened,
we would bid fair to outstrip the world in
wealth and commercial influence. My
sentiments on this subjeet have always
boon the same, and I would like to dis
cuss them more at length, if time and
space would allow it.
Yours, truly, Ichauod.
A Woman Outraged and a Deed of
Blood.—We clip the following from the
Brownsville Echo of the 3rd instant:
Some time in last month, (July,) a
man named Guay came into Hamilton
township, Prairie country, whose object,
as ho affirmed, was to get a school.—
Although a perfect stranger, he created
rather a dislike among the people by mak
ing himself too familiar with the females.
A day or two before he left the neighbor
hood, Gray rode up late one evening to
the residence of Mr. Chaffin, a much
respected and esteemed gentleman, living
about twelve miles south-east of Browns
trills* Ac r.’roti martifuctorl nn rltcnncitinr
lo go on, he was invited to stay all night
by Mr. Chaffin, although Gray an uttei
stranger to him. Mr. Chaffin’s son Wil
liam, who, with his wife, lived with his
father, had left home to have some black
smith work done about four miles distant
and was not expected back. He did not
get home till the next morning, in con
sequence of not getting his work done un
til late. That night his wife’s person was
violated by this man Gray—she being un
der the impression that her husband had
returned.
Young Chaffin’s wife, by the advice ol
her mother-in-law, kept that night’s oc
currence secret from her husband for sever
al days—until 6he could bear it no longer.
It was her duty, she thought, and she told
him. No one but he who experienced it,
can know what were the feelings of that
man when the knowledge of a wife’s dis
honor was revealed to him. No one but he
can know the agony that tore asunder a
loving heart, and brought forth scalding
tears to his eyes!
But their affliction was not to end here.
Young Chaffin heard of Gray having a
school in Pulaski county, at a place on or
near the Palarm creek—known as the
Cross Roads, we believe. This intelli
gence created a desire for revenge. On
Tuesday, July 19th, he went to the Pal
arm an innocent and much respected man;
he returned a murderer! Gray had fallen
by his hand!
He was arrested by Sheriff King on
Friday last, and taken to where the deed
was committed, accompanied by his father,
wife, mother-in-law, and others, to have
his trial before a justice of the peace. The
justice's verdict was murder, but he was
admitted to bail in a bond of So,000.—
Saturday he returned to his home.
Gray is said to have been from Texas.
-The Viceroy of Egypt has ordered that
hencefor* the historical monuments which
exist in Egypt shall be preserved, and that a
museum shall be established for the reception
of the movable antiquities which may be dis
covered.
Patent.—The Washington (P. C.) Con
stitution announces that letters patent, bear
ing date June 14, have been issued to Mr. Eli
Moore, of Slabtown, S. C., for improvement
in ploughs.
-The captain who had charge of the
slave yacht Wanderer, is about to tell the
public “all about it.” His name is Farnham,
and his book is promised forthwith.
——A violent tornado, accompanied by a
hail storm, passed over the plantation of Judge
Gbolson, near Aberdeen, Miss., on the 20th
ult., unroofing his gin-house and screw, de
molishing a carriage-house and workshop,
blowing down large trees, and laying waste
some thirty or forty acres of land planted in
cotton and corn.
——A fellow calling himself Anderson
Bell, but whose real name is William Ander
loo, attempted to seduce a young school-girl,
thirteen years of age, at Huntsville, Ala. He
was strapped across a whisky-barrel, and
given thirty-nine lashes, on his bare lack, by
ionic of the enra "ed citizens.
Cotton Manufacture in Canada.—
Few of our readers, perhaps, are aware
that a beginning has been made in the
manufacture of cotton goods in Canada ;
that there is a cotton mill, in fact, in full
operation, within three hours’ ride ol
Torouto, producing a certain description
of goods at lower rates than similar qual
ities can be offered at by American man
ufacturers. The Thorold mill is the one
we refer to. It is situated on the Wel
land canal, about four miles from Saini
Catherines; and we yesterday had an op
portunity of inspecting a peice of un
bleached cotton—good serviceable “ fac
tory”—which the enterprising manu
facturers, Messrs. Nutty & Woodward,
are putting into the market. The staple
comes to Thorold in bales, and undergoes
all the requisite processes on Messrs.
Nutty & Co.’s premises. They have
some eighteen looms at work, turning
out about 600 yards per day; and they
state that the factilites for the manu
facture afforded by the water privileges
of the Welland, enable them to undersell
foreign producers. The Thorold article,
we think, can be sold at nine cents per
yard, being one cent lower than the
lowest American. Since 1S57, large
quantities of batting have been manu
factured by the firm ; the piece of factory
we saw yesterday being a part of the first
production of that class of goods. At
present the firm buy their cotton at New
York. England monetary facilities would
enable them to purchase at Memphis, the
best American market, whence the com
modity could be brought, via Cincinnati,
at a cost which would give the Canadian
owner of water-power a decided advantage
over foreign manufacturers. The enter
prise reflects great credit upon Messrs.
Nutty & Woodward, who have succeeded
in showing that Upper Canada already
possesses facilities for the cultivation of an
important manufacturing interest.— [Tor

-The overland mail brings intelligence
that about three hundred Pike’s Peak emigrants
had arrived at Salt Lake City, in a destitute
condition. Two thousand Pike’s Peakers are
reported on their way to California via Salt
Lake, and from their destitute condition,
trouble was anticipated.
-Col. Braxton Bragg, of “little more
