EDITOR OF THR HERALD
DEAR SIn-
In snswer to the wholly unfounded charges brought
forward in paper Of Saturday against the authores
OF FASHION," by some one signing him-or her-self
!" Mary haywood" have simply to reply, that Mrs.
Mowatt has heard OF any OF the published
unpublished productions Of that perscn has she
ever had cation. directly indirectly with
any Of the editors Of the Sunday Atlas
Yours, very respectfully,
JAMES MOWATT.
All this is very satisfactory, SO far as Mrs. May
wood and Mrs Mowatt are concerned. But who
is the "Mary haywood" of the Anglo american?
The editor of that paper has, it seems, in his pos
session, the sketch referred to- and the editor Of
the Atlas recollects the circumstance OF young
man calling for the MS. at his office, but knows
nothing of "Mary." The probability is that some
one has been hoaxing the Anglo-Ameris with
the view of attracting little public attention to
his articles in the Sunday paper. And yet it is
said that there is "Mary haywood" somewhere
in Division street., who makes elegant bonnets, and
writes for the Sunday papers. Will nobody unra-
vel this mystery

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 81.
From Texas.

The schooner Lone Starr, arrived on Sunday
with news from Galveston of the 10th inst.
The President has designated Gen. A. H.
Darnell, as special messenger, to carry the
State Constitution to Washington City.
The Register says-A company of United
States troops will shortly be stationed at Aus
tin. The. proper officers have already arri-
we'd there. The troops will occupy the arsenal
buildings as barracks.
There have been several arrivals at Calves.
ton from Corpus Christi. About 1000 men in
camp, all in good health. Mexican traders
continue to comein. They state that there are
but few Mexican troops upon the Roi Grande,
and no indications of a desire to march for Tex
as.
1t does not appear that Gen. Tay lor designs
removing the main body of the army from Cor
pns Christi, though some attachments will be
sent to other points on the frontier.
The vote on the Constitution was to be taken
on the 18th. But little interest was felt. as it
was evident that instrument would be almost
unanimously adopted.
; The Galveston News Of the It'll inst. states
that the Cotton crop ofTexas will prove to be
quite as good as it was last year, perhaps bet
ter; at least, the total of export will probably
exceed what it ever was before. In some
paris me drought has cut short the crop, but
only to limited extent. On the other hand
many new plantations have been opened, and
ola ones considerably enlarged.
The News understands that the ordnance
recently received by the brig Galveston, is de-
signed tor the permanent fertilization of Gal
weston Harbor. 1t consists of Is eighteen
Founders, with truck and coast carriages and
the necessary ordnance stores.-Builet;n.
The U. S. steamer Col. Harvey, White,
Lieut.. Commander, from Norfolk, Sd Sept,
via Oh rleston, st. Augustine and Mobile, ar
rived here yesterday. She was bound to A.
KANSAS with dispatches for Gen. Taylor, and
came to anchor on the 18th inst off the N. E.
Pass, the wind blowing gale from the S. E.
whenit was discovered the vessel was leaking.
The engineers reported that she could be re-.
paired without much detention, this being
done she proceeded down the Pass on the 10Th
inst, when she was discovered to be leaking
so badly, that it was found necessary to put
into this port for repairs. She is at anchor
off the Point.-Bee.

Distressing Rail Road .Rccident.-We are
panied to learn that most DISTRESSING accident
occurred ON Tuesday night, above Marietta,
on the State road. by which g. F. M. Garnet.
the state engineer, had enc ofhis thighs broken
in two places. his assistant, Mr.. Stockton.
had both legs broken and horribly mangleS !,
and the conductor, whose name we did not
learn, had one leg entirely cut off. This is
the account we have had ofthis dreadful affair.
and 1t has reached us so direct, that we fear
1t is not exaggerated.
The accident occurred, we learn. in this
way. The engine left the depot with load
load of iron to be transported to the point
at which they were laying down the rail,
leaving a car laden with iron at the point from
which they started, the wheels of which dur
ing their absence became unsolicited. and it
being down grade, the cart moved off a corsi-
derabIe distance up the road. The engine
having deposited the iron, was returning in
the night, pushing the cars (upon which We're
Messrs. Garnet. Stockton and the conduc.
tor') ahead, and as the engineer was uncon-
scious OF danger. ran into the car which had
escaped from the depot.

Correspondence IF tie jour. Of Com.

Il NssO
Mr. Calhouh, towards the close Of the LAT.
administration, despatched an agent 70 ,bs
ls'ano OF 81. Domingo,-for what particula,
pe.pose' was not known. He was paid out
~ 'ne secret service fund. This agent, Mr..
nugdn' mas returned, and made yoIuminous.
Gnu. anu understand, an interesting report, which
mnl' Pronaoly, at some tine, see the lioht.
IL Is con]ectured that it relates chiefly to the
condition OF the Spanish portion of the Island.
anu the situation and prospects of the Domi.
cans their war with the Haytiens the mol
ICY OF the English and French government.
In regard to them and to the slaye-boldino
portion OF the West India islands generallv
&c. 1t has been supposed that the Rr;tish
government, and perhaps the government Of
France also, will take such a course az will
aid the entire abolition of slavery inthis island
and indeed, in all the Spanish and French
islands. The subject is one of some interest
to the sIaveholding portion of the United
States. ts. = =
The situation of Cuba is critical. and is re-.
garded with deep interest. Should it mass
from the possession of Spain, 1t will also be.
come government of free blacks, under the
protection of Great Britain. 1t was long aco
Intmated by our government to that Great
Britain, that This would not be tolerated by
the United States.
The Spanish inhabitants of Cuba are ready
and DESTROYS Of placing themselves under the
protection of the United States, and in fact.
of forming part of their political system, in
case they should cease to be subject to Old
Spain.
There has been conjecture that France
had some views upon Cuba and st. Domingo,
and even Yucatan. 1t has been Whispered
that project is, or was, on foot to unite the
Domincans, the French West Indies, and
the people of Yucatan, under one government,
wiz Prince of the Bourbon house for its
KING. The new government, under the pa
tronage CT France, would then proceed to
annex to itself Hayti andECuba, forming
powerful and successful empire for the benefit
of" young France IL q
The objection to this project is, that since
the demonstrations of France on the African
coast have excited SO much jealousy on the
part Of Great Britain, it is not probable that
Great Britain would allow her this new ac-
QUESTION without a struggle. Nor am quite
sure that our young democracy" would APP
prove of it, for they want Cuba themselves.

The Washington Union says that, it is now
reported and believed, that Mr.. Calhoun will
return to the Senate of the United States, at
the next session of Congress. We hope he
may. His powerful mind and sound iudg-
ment will be much needed in the councils OF
the nation, and especially would he be of vast
service to his country at the roxt session OF
Congress, on account Of the adjustment of the
tariff on "revenue standard.''
