SKETCHES FROM ABROAD.

One Of the oldest churches in Cologne !. the S4,ts
Maria in CaPiioiO. 1t receives its name from the
fact Of It's being erected upon the precise spot where
stood the Capitol Of the Roman city. The building
eight hundred year, old and has some very euriou,
carved work and stained gl-ss. Another church
equally ancient, is the S. Gereons Eirch, which i.
lined with The bones Of the Theban Msrtyrs sand To
have been slain during the persecution under Die
oletian.
The gallery Of paintings contain sever. pic,ur,s
which are deserving Of attention. A marke, scene st
night, one or two by Losing, Bendcrua,. &c are ali
that are particularly remarkable. 10 the lover s,o-,
there Is large collection Of Roman antiquities. Mo-,
far distant Is the house in which Ruben. was born
and in which Mary De Mehci. died. The Town
House the Custom House, the House OF the Ten
plars, the Casino, the Government buildings, will
each arrest the attention OF a stranger.
The historical associations, with which Cologne
abounds, are highly interesting. Fragments Of Ro-
man walks Notifications, towers affairs Inscriptions

Now We insist that this is a mere plagiarism.
The same thing, and lilde more, had been

Just forty days before the Baltimore Coasentlon and
the exact % mig xiih the Presidential efe-
iiOa, and TO make dlssenson, dscord, and mischief
between the North and the South.
He had denounced II
long before 10 many persons, ana particularly at The
ate session Of Congress TO MIR. Aaron V. Brown, q

rously obtained the Texas letter from General Jack
son, and who seemed 10 be vigorously charged WIN

We have been assured that the Boonyllle
speech, from which we make the above extracts,
was "genuine speech, or rather true blll''
against The author.
10 reply 10 the charge of ceding away Texas,
when there was no necessity for II, Mr.. Adams
says:
= l must say that if there is any responsibility 10
the case, rests upon President Madison, who, in
1916, empowered and instructed Mr.. George W.
Erving 10 accept the Sabine uitmaium. which
power and instruction were never Withdrawn"
Now, the above may be quite corect, as il
relates TO the instructions Of MIR. Madison, and
We doubt not il is so; but, nevertheless il does
not prevent the whole tissue from being mere
subteIJuge.
Mr.. Erving might, and no doubt did, receive
the instructions as slaied-and il is possible they
were never withdrawn-but will Mr. Adams
say that Mr.. E. acted upon such instructions
If, when the 'ultima,um'' Of President Mad-
son was received, Mr.. Erving was convinced
that by little delay he could do much better,
was II not the part Of faithful diplomatist TO
keep back his instructions, and achieve all he
could for his country? The fact that instruc-
tons "to accept the Sabine" were sent TO Mr.
Erving, Is no evidence that he did not suisse
quently have II in his power to take the Rio
Grande or Rio del Nore. And, in truth, Mr..
Adams does not positively deny The fact stated
by Mr.. Ewing 10 Gen. Jackson. All that Mr..
Adams says about the treaty Except showing it
TO Gen. Jackson) may be true, and yet not in
validate the testimony of Mr.. Erving, tina, he
ceded away all the territory beyond the Sabine,
when the boundary might have been fixed at
the Rio Grande

GEN. JAMES HAMILTON'S LETTER.

We invite the special attention Of our readers to
the letter Of Gen. James Hamilton, Of Alabama for
merly Governor Of South Carolina, TO the Central
Stale Committee Of Tennessee. The letter was
written 10 reply 10 an invitation given by the Com
mittee TO General H. to attend the great Democratic
Mass Meeting this city on the 18th Of August last
but was not received IN time TO be published with
The regular report Of the proceedings. The letter Is
worthy OF serious consideration on several accounts
There Is perhaps no 10 The United States more
intimately conVersant with the Texas question IN all
IT. bearing than Gen. Hamilton, being FULLY sequanl-
ed With The condition, prospect Interests and WISHES
OF the people Of Texas, ss well a. with The mmen-e
value Of the country, 10 all IT, undeyeoped resources

10 the South against foreign enemies 10 ell time 10
come The General discusses the question Of an
Dexsuon 10 a manner becoming has distinguished re-
putsiion a. a statesman.
We desire BIS letter TO be read also for the bod
and manly manner 10 which be repels the false
charge Of disunion made against the democracy OF
The south. No Tennessesn, we hope, can read the
just and eloquent eulOgy which Gen. Hamilton pro-
nounces upsn the venerable sage OF the Hermitage
without feeling warm glow Of pride and pleasure
spring Up IN bis bosom. On all these accounts the
letter - highly interesting. As elegant snd elo-
quent competition, II mparts interest, and sug.
gesis views 10 relation TO every topic discussed.
No man-Do man who loves his county and It, nsii-
