TOBACCO MANDATORY.

Among the improvements that are going
on in our town, we are glad to see extern
i've preparations progressing for the cree
ton of large building intended for a
Tobacco Manufactory and Stemmery, by
our enterprising fellow-citizen, r. II. LAW.
Such improvements not only are an ad-
vantage to the mechanics employed in their
construction, but of a solid and lasting
benefit to those of our farmers who are
engaged in the culture of the plant, and
who prefer selling their produce at home
for goods, wares and merchandise, rather
than risking foreign market.

ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.--Some years
ago, says foreign journal, the captain of
a corsar carried off the wife of a poor
wood-cutter residing in the neighborhood
of. Messina. After OBTAINING her for sew
eral mouths on board his vessel, he landed
on an island in the South Seas, wholly
regardless of what might befall her. II
happened that the woman was presented
to the savage monarch of the island, who
became enamored of her. He made her
his wife, placed her on the throne, and al
his death left her the sole sovereign of hi:
domains. BY European vessel which
recently touched at the Island, the poor
woodcutter has received intelligence Of hi.
wife. She sent him presents of such vast
value, that he will probably be one of the
wealthiest individuals in Sicily, until il shall
please her majesty, his august spouse &c

MR.. CALHOUN.

The Edgefeld (South Carolina) Adver.
tiser, published near the District of Mr..
Calhoun and Mr.. McDuffie, hoists its Pres
dential flag thus:
For Prssident-JoHN c. CALHOUN.

test, and hope our patrons will find no fault with

ONLY choice, as proper person TO fill therespon.
sible office Of President OF the. United. States,
Without the action of any Convention. With
him as leader we are satisfied we shall have
nothing to esr."
The editor of the Richmond Enquirer
squints awfully at the above, and begs Mr.
Calhoun to come in and take his chance in
a national Convention, which the editor
very well knows will be no chance at all,
and this Mr.. Calhoun and all his supporters
know vey well too. The editor pledges
himself that if Mr.. Calhoun will abide the
decision of Convention, and should get
the nomination, he twill support him with
pleasure" Alas! .,.

fear, cries "al's we'll" 1t says with affect

"OUT OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS

published in Massachusetts,, whose editor
is considered by his party as zone of the
most able and energetic writers connected
with the Loco foco press" gives the fol-
lowing as his opinion of the leaders of his
own party. As his opinion exactly tallies
with their conduct, we have no doubt but
that it is true to the letter:
"With few highly honorable exceptions, the
leaders of the Democratic party are among the
most contemplate Of all created creatures, act
ual lbels on humanity, and political blasphe-
mers against the dignity Of Heaven. With the
words Of freedom forever on their lips, they
never let slip an opportunity Of shelving that
their service is lip service; and, to their eternal
disgrace be it said, the Democratic party seldom
fail to applaud and uphold all such manifesto.
tons Of an utter want Of deep seated principles. !"
FURTHER OPINIONS OF THE PARTY, BY
ONE OF THE PARTY.-A New York Loco,
celebrated for his many heroic exploits as
leader of the Spartan Band" whose name
is Mike Walsh, was a candidate two years
ago for the Legislature. He published not
long since a statement of the means by
which he was crowded off the ticket, and
gives the following as his opinion of the
Loco foco nominating committee:
"Al the honest men on that committee voted
for me, and all the bribed thieves and agamuf.
fins voted against me. Three OF the latter have
been since sent 10 the State Prison for burglary:
eleven TO the Penitentiary for petty thelts three
committed suicide. one lives round the Tom5s
by. swearing men were in Ohio when they com.
mitted crimes in this city; another died OF delir.
ium tremens on the Five Points; nine have been
convicted and fined for playing thimbes on race
courses; Woodbridge and the balance, being too
craven and cowardly TO commit any open crime,
are yet at large, in consequence of certain servl-
ces they perform for the guardians Of the law"
These are the opinions of two locos OF
their party leaders in two States of the
Union. The leaders of this State have
been taken off in about the same "happy
STYLE" by the Missouri Argus, when under
the control of Col. Corbin; and the Ozark
Eagle, under the supervision of Maj
Campbell. Maj. Campbelrs opinion of the
late loco convention, was fully equal, il
not superior to Mikes opinion of the nom
mating committee of New York. Look
out for the opinion of the editor of thu

the day on which the interest on the State
loan should be paid, the institution would
continue to redeem, but unfortunately, I'M
der present circumstances it is considered
advisable not to redeem any more of the
notes, and the Pennsylvania bank will
doubtless remain closed to-day.
This information we obtained last eve
ming and would caution the public holding
notes on Pennsylvania Bank, not to make a
hasty sacrifice, as the affairs of the institu-
ton present favorable condition.
The interest on the State debt which
becomes due and payable tomorrow at the
Pennsylvania Bank, will not be paid. 1t
will be allowed to go by default for few
days, and then paid. One of the reasons
for defcrring this payment is the very hca-
Wy premium on specic--l2 per cent. and
the interest must be paid in specie or its
equivalent.
The Directors of the Pennsylvania Bank
were to hold a meeting last evening, (Sun-
day. but the conclusion to be arrived at,
we are assured, would be not to redeem its
notes, and the interest on the State loan to
remain unpaid for the present. This inter-
est amounts to eight hundred thousand dol

LATE FROM MEXICO.
Barbarous treatment Of the Terian Cap
tires and american Prisoners.

BarbarouS treatment Of the Terian Cap
tires and american Prisoners.
We yesterday, had an interview with a
gentleman, Just from the city of Mexico,
who informs us that 90 of the Texan cap
tivcs had reached that place, some days be-
fore his departure. They were brought in,
in most wretched condition, having been
marched bare footed and almost naked
from the place of their capture. Amongst
the prisoners was the son of Gen. Leslie
Combs. The charity OF the foreigners in
the city furnished them some necessary ap-
parel
So far from receiving humane treatment
from Santa Anna, as reported, they were
chained in pairs and were compelled to
work in the streets as common felons.-
Our informant assures US that the resident
ministers Of foreign countries, had inter-
fered in an informal manner, to arrest this
disgraceful and borbaraus treatment, with
out success. Young Combs was extremely
i'll; his constitution had proved too frail to
endure the cruelties to which he had been
subjected
The accounts of the treachery resorted
to, to capture the expedition, are confirmed.
Mr.. Kendall had not reached Mexico: he
was expected daily in company without
200 Texans.
Mr. Ellis, our minister at Mexico, had
demanded young Combs as a citizen of the
United States; but week had elapsed
without his receiving any response from
the government.
We have read number Of private let
tiers that speak of the sutferings of the cap
tives as most appalling. There has been
no clemency shown to the citizens of the
United States. The general belief in the
city wos, that nothing short of force would
meliorate the condition of the prisoners,
and that all would be treated alike.
Santa Anna has given orders for 10000
men to be raised to march against Texas. .

COLT DECLARED GUILTY OF MUIR
DER.

On Saturday evening, the Jury in the
case of Colt, under trial in New York, for
the murder of Mr.. Adams, returned with
verdict of GUILTY or MURDER.
Correspondence Of the Z. s. Gd.ette.1
New York, Jan. 80, IS42.
My Dear Sr-Ere you receive this, you
will be informed by the morning mail of the
rendition of a verdict of wilful murder
against John C. Colt. The excitement du-
ring all day yesterday was intense--so
much so that it was impossible to get into
any of the avenues of the City Hall, from
the crowds of spectators who were anx-
ous to hear the last days proceedings in
this truly horrible and unparalleled case.
|, who had the good fortune to be pres
ent during portion of the time, must say
that l never heard any thing equal to the
summing speech of James r. Whitney,
ESQ, except that of VIM. B. Reed, Esq,
of your city, in the celebrated case of DR..
Chauncey. You, when you read the charge
of Judge Kent, will observe that it is rath-
er favorable to the prisoner, and the Sheriff
told a friend of mine that surprise was
strongly depicted in his countenance when
the Jury announced the result of their de-
alterations.
His counsel have determined TO prepare
bill of exceptions, for the purpose of car
rying the case to the Supreme Court, and
presume they will obtain new trial, and
obtain a verdict similar to that of Ezra
White, viz:-Mansaughter in the Third
Degree.
The interest taken in this trial has not
been equalled since the affair Of Richard P.
Robinson for the murder of Helen Jewett.
1t has been great harvest for the small pa
pers here, as they all run through two or
three heavy editions daily.
The next important trials before the
present Court are those of Col. Monroe
Edwards for forgery, and Jas. Gordon
Bennett for libel, both of which take place
next week.
You are aware presume, that the ex-
Hon. Charles +. Mitchell is at large, having
been baled out last week, owing to the i'm
possibility of his much longer remaining in
close confinement. He is indeed melan'
cholly picture of mental and physical pros
tration.
