Death of Missionary's Child.

Seldom have the fountains of parental sympathy
been more deeply stirred within me, than they
were few moments ago when friend read to
me passage in letter just received from mis-
sionary brother (Rev. Mr.. Lawrence, Dindigul,)
away in India. 1t mentioned the death of a love-
ly child, three years and twenty-five days old, and
this was the closing scene:
"Dear Louiza went as calmly to her last re-
pose, as the shutting up Of flower at twilight
As her sight began TO fail, though about four o.
clock in the afternoon, she said to me, Good
night, papa" her usual words on going to sleep,
and then went on to repeat,
Now lay me down to sleep,
pray the Lord my soul to ke-ee-p-
A-a--men?"
And so she left us to weep, and rejoice; and now
to long almost for reunion; not here, o no. not
here.''
Sweet, blessed child-a more fitting prayer thou
couldst not have offered, had thy lips been then
now the lips of an angel Thou vert indeed ly-
ing down to sleep, and sweet shall be thy rest, for
the Lord will keep thee; thou shalt sleep on his
breast, and wake in his arms.
She did not live to say,
| " If should die before wake,
pray the Lord my soul to take;"
but the Lord took her in the midst of her eUening
prayer, when she mistook the darkness of death
gathering over her, for the shades Of evening" and
bidding her friends 'good night calmly commit
ted her sweet spirit to her heavenly Fathers care

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

We extract the following items of intelli- gence from the letters of our Washington Correspondent:

 Feb'y 1st. s.The Senate, on yesterday, rejected the nomination of Mr. Spencer, the Secretary of the Treasury, for the vacant seat upon the Supreme Court Bench. From this, together with the previous action of that body, upon nominations, you will infer either that the Senate is hard to please, or that the President has been very unfortunate in his selections Perhaps, mixture of both has produced these results.n

 OREGON AND TEXAS. ssThe settlement of Oregon, and the annexation of Texas to the Union, are still expressing subjects, ill both Houses of Congress. The operation of the united passions of loue and fear ol Great Britain, upon all except few individ- uals, will defeat the settlement of Oregon and sectional jealousies, together with .4bo- Htion-which is a growing spirit of evil will prevent the annexation of Texas. | must be evident to every mind that, although Texas will never be reconquered by Mexico she can never maintain separate politica | existence From the very nature of thing, she must, ultimately, and at no very distan day, become an adjunct, either to Grea Britain or to the United States. In such state of the question i. is amazing that any American should hesitate about incorpora ting her into our Union. let we see nearly all the Whig party, north and south, and sectional portion of the Democratic party violently opposing such measure.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE BANNER1

NEW URLEANS, te0 b, lo4i
 DocToR BoRLAND: Dear Sir: In compl- ance with your request, we address you on the subject of our cotton market.
 On the Sd instant, we received Liverpool accounts, per Britania, to 4th January. Af- ter the arrival of the Boston steamer of the l7th December, showing reduced estimates of our cotton erep-with the corroborating facts of the supplies into our shipping ports falling of, as compared with last year, the Liverpool market improved sales to the ex- tent of 10000 to 12,000 bales, per day, were made and prices advanced fully l to 3-8d. per ID. Fair Orleans is quoted at , i'd; and no American cotton, at all merchantable, could be bought at less than 7-8 to 5d.- Should the abundance of facilities, with good trade, continue, prices in Liverpool and Hav- re may reach Id. to 19d higher; provided our crop proves, as we now estimate It at, not more than l7,000,000 bales. Some, here, go as low as 16,050,000 bales; but we incline to the former estimate. The ef- feet upon this market, by the latest foreign news, has not met our expectation. This is | owing to the fact, that prices, here, had ad- vanced, in anticipation of the foreign market; and are still from to cents too high for the foreign orders to be filled. Until their market comes up to ours, we must rely on speculation to maintain prices and this is checked, at present, by an advance in freights to New Y ork and Boston, and by decline in Northern Exchange. Bills at 60 days, were sold freely yesterday, at 23 to 3 per ct discount Under all circumstances, we can not look for cotton to be higher during the present month and as freight advances and exchanges get worse, so must our market decline. The sales of cotton yesterday and to-day shew Is to l decline from prices a week ago.
 Respectfully, your friends, Sc.

 We stand corrected and are happy to do so. Our mistake was innocently made, how ever; by supposing that other editors ob- served the same rule, as we do, in placing the names of candidates at the head of our columns. That rule requires, among other things, honesty as an indispensable qualifica- ton of any candidate whose name we in- scribe upon our flag and then we feel there is no disgrace in acknowledging him as a leader.

if We were presumptuous enough to offer advice to the iocofoco writers, who are illu- minating the people in our region, we should whisper in their ear that the less they say about debtors of Hte Real Estate Bank, the better There are individuals and families LARGELY indebted to that institution, who have never been suspected of whiggery. We might be provoked into rejoinder Do the Democrats understand '-[ [.ark's. Gazette.
 The foregoing paragraph is evidently in- tended as threat to expose the names of those Democrats acho are indebted 10 the Real Estate Ba,sk, in order to deter democratic writers from exposing the improper practices of the Bank We will not here, discuss the morality or delicacy of such proceeding as this threat involves-we will not insult the good sense and good feeling of this commu- nity, by inquiring whether apy one has the right to indulge personal ill-will, or party prejudice, by exposing, in the columns of public newspaper, the pecunary embarrass- ments of private individuals. But we will inquire if the editor of the Gazette have the ability to make the exposure while he threat ems And we call upon him to answer the question for as he has made the threat, he is bound to execute, or retract 1t. If he have not the ability to execute his threat, then he has been guilty of empty boosting flor which we leave him to the tender mercies of the public contempt. If he have the ability to execute his threat, he must have obtained it from the officers of the Bank for they alone could furnish him the names and liabilities of their debtors. Now we call upon the officers of the Real Estate Bank to say whe- ther they have done this-whether they have placed at the disposal of the editor of the Gazette the names of their debtors, and au- thorzed him to expose them, in the columns of his paper, for the purpose of deterring the citizens of Arkansas from inquiring into the acts and doings of the Bank? This inquiry acquires force from the confidential relations existing between the officers of the Real Es- tate Bank and the editor of the Gazette, and from the general belief that he always speaks ''by authority" when he speaks of the affairs of the Bank. Yet, we are unwilling, even in our own mind, to answer it in the aflirma- tive; and we will not, unless the ayowal, or silence of these officers, leave us no alterna- tive. If they have placed the editor of the Gazette in this unenvable attitude, they are bound to come forward and bear it's odium with him; but if they have not, then it is due to themselves, and to the public, to dis avow it, and stand acquitted of gross out rage upon the moral sense of society. We withhold further remarks, for the present. 1 Does the Gazette understand
