"WoULD TO COP | ALONE HAD BEEN
KILLED." was the exclamation of the
brave and gallant Stockton, when return
ing consci 1usness enabled him to compre-
bend The extent of the late sad disaster-
when surrounded BY the dead bodies of his
distinguished guc>ts. The berpaved families
-helore him the fragments Of his favor,
it gun, upon which he had expended years
of toll, and large portion OF his private
fortune. His friends, and those who know
his lively interest in the welfare and hap.
piness of all with whom he comes in con-
tact. will deeply sympa,hize with him, in
his present affection. Expressions Of
sympathy with him, and with the families
OF the deceased. are universal. The ca.
lamity is national one, and one which
has thrown sorrow and gloom over the
whole city. nv. Y. Sun

TEXAS-THE INTELLIGENCER

One Of the chief objections 10 the ad-
mission of Texas, which the Inlelligencer
urges, is that this country is already too
large.
To this assertion OF the mere opinion Of
the lntelligencer, we oppose others Of per-
haps equal authority. Mr.. Adams did no,
think it too large when he opposed the
cession of this great and fertile country.
Mr.. Clay did not think it too large when
he denounced the treaty, which was 10 dis
inherit our posterity OF so great and glori.
GUS a patrimony.
Messrs. Adams and Clay did not consi.
der it too large when they sought, by treaty,
TO recover this fair, but lost portion of our
territory; they were consistent-they op-
posed its cession-they seized the FIRST op.
portunity to recover possession.
General Jackson cid not think our coun-
try already too large, when he sought to
annex Texas to this country. We have
every reason to suppose he is of the same
opinion still.
We have no reason TO suppose Mr..
Clay is opposed to annexirg Texas to this
Union. IL may sooR be shown why we
have no reason to suppose it.
MI. Adams does not object on the
ground Of the country being too large.--
Thus we have this array of authority
against the ipse dixit of the Inteliigencer.
To which is due the greater Difference, let
our readers judge.
That the home or domestic trade, is, be-.
yond all comparison, the most desirable to
a nation, is an axiom long since settled.
Is it then the part of wisdom to reject, not
Tor ourselves only, but for posterity also,
the vast and ever-swelling trade of so fer
Tile land, because some persons choose
to indulge theory that large territory
cannot exist under one government. 1t
will be quite time enough TO acknowledge
this asserted theory when it shall become
a reality, or rather the moment il becomes
real it will work lis own cure, and ''suffi-
cient unto the day is the evil thereof" II
we could secure the exclusive trade Of Tex.
as as an Independent State, we should not
reap benefits such as we would if it were

The Mississippi Union Bank-1he
Commercial Bank Of Natchcz--Proceed-
ings by Quo Wdrranto.
AS many inquiries have been made of
US, and rs il is matter OF importance TO
many citizens of the State and the public
generally, we have thought it within our
province as conductors of press 10 state,
that an injunction has been regularly and
legally served upon the assignees of the
Union Bank, enjoining and restraining
them and all officers, agents and attorneys
of the Union Bank, and all other persons,
from the collection of any debts or claims
due the Union Bank, until The information
now pending in the Circuit Court OF Kinds
county, has been finally heard and de.
termined. After consultation with some
of the ablest lawyers in the Stale. we feel
authorized to warn all debtors 10 the Union
Bank, that were they to pay anything to
the Bank officers or anybody else while
the injunction is in force, there could be
no legal release or receipt for such pay.
ment, and that any such release or receipt
would be no bar to all action hereafter to
be brought.
While on this subject we deem il proper
also TO state, that an information in the
nature of a quo warranto, has been filed
BY Stanhope Posey, Esq, in the Circuit
Court of Adams county, against The Com
nercial Bank of Natchez. We are au.
thorized to say that an injunction has iss-
ued against the Commercial Bank, and
that the same was legally served b, the
Sheriff of Adams on said Bank some lime
about the 18th of March. The Injunction
in the latter case has the same effect as
above stated against the Union Bank.

Of the Se1ih side OF the public square.
Our having published half-sheet, pre-
vented our noticing many things last week,
we intended making the subject Of re-
mark. Among others, was an article in
the Creole, accusing us Of m,srepresenta-
ton and perversion of the truth. When
the editor came to explain the charge, it
consisted in our having said something
which implied that MIR. Clay was hypo.
critic. In the first place, the inference was
one Of his own, and in the second place,
conceding him 10 be right in his implica-
ton, il dill not warrant ihS harsh terms
used.
The article Of the Creole, was in rcla-
ton TO an extract of speech, laudatory
OF Mr.. Clay, said 10 have been delivered
by DR.. Capers. We were misled into the
belief that the extract was the DIS pro-
duction, and commented on il accordingly.
Having discovered our mistake, we made
some remarks in relation TO the proneness
OF the whig papers to fabrications Of this
kind. The Creole takes our remarks TO
itself. This was needless, for it was per-
fecty apparent that the Creole was not
tho paper which started the report, as it
had been going the rounds Of the whig
papers for months before il was published
In the Creole.
The Creole says:
"But here is the fact; that extract had
been published in the real wing Clay pa
psrs, from north to south, before we ever
undertook to lay it before our readers-and
DR.. CapeIs, if he takes the papers, as ev-
cry sensible man should do, must have
seen it. If so, and he he the strong Cal.
houn man that our neighbor represents
hi::: TO be, and the intelligent and educated
man also, why did he not deny it, and put
stop to the swing lie" at once2"
This is a very nice little argument on
this point, but the editor has not got al
the facts of the case: as soon as Dr.. Ca
pers saw the article, he promptly auihofi-
Ied the editor of the Charleston Mercury,
to say that he never attended Clay Club,
ard ;"as not inc author of the speech
The editor of the Creole had not seen this,
because his brethren are generally careful
not TO give corrections of this kind. The
denial then did not put stop to the Swing
lie" The Creole says: eff he be the
strong Calhoun man our neighbor repre-
SCENTS him to be, &C." We represented
nothing of the kind; not the most distant
ullusion TO Mr.. Calhoun was made in our
article. On the other hand, we said that
DR.. Capers had always abstained from pc.
li,ics. If we had made a mistake like
this, the Creole would have been ready
with the words misrepresentation" and
perversion of facts" The editor says in
our first article we cut up DIR. Capers most
awfully. We fear we did so, in having
attributed to him production Of which
man of his taste would be heartily ashamed,
and as Scouting capers" is by no means
agreeaL.J to US, on this point we will not
DO guilty again.
