The steamship Alabama arrived here this morning from Galveston, bringing papers of that place to the 1st instant. The Alabama was one of the vessels that carried the United States troops to Corpus Christi, where they were landed in safety, and were in good health at the departure of the Alabama The Undme touched at Galveston on the 25th ult on her passage to Corpus Christi
 The Galveston News of Aug. l, says the crops look very favorable, and with the ex- ception of Trinity, the corn every where is thought to be the best ever made in the re- public It is supposed that the cotton crop will exceed that of any previous year. To- bacco, sugar cane and sweet potatoes also look well.
 Major Donclson, the American Charge arrived at Galveston. July 27, from Austin in good health. The Major took forma leave of the Texan government, having ac complished the object of his mission. GIt intended to remain in Texas until the amiva of the troops.
 The health of Galveston is said to be re markedly good. The town is cleanly, ant no apprehension of disease exists.

en man, long limited to his family circle, burst forth in the evening of his life with the zeal and fervor of the martyr. His last pub lie letter to Com. J. D. Elliot relative to the pompous Sarcophagns tcndered to him for the burial of his body, breathes the language of the potrlot, the statesman and the saint: "l have, says he, prepared an humble deposi- tory for my mortal body, beside that where in lies my beloved wife, where, without any pomP or parade have requested, when my God calls me 10 sleep with my fathers, to be laid for both of us there to remain until the last trumpet sounds to call the dead to Judg- ment, when, hope we shall rise together clothed in that heavenly body promised to all who believe in our glorious Redeemer, who died for us that we might live and by whose atonement I hope for q blessed immor- tality."
 Thus have glanced at the great cardinals composing the character of this exalted states man. To the rising generation, and 10 their succeeding posterity we appeal for their cherishlng remembrance and uRdging per- Petuaion. We ask you not with the heathen to worship him us God we ask younot with enthusiastic lanaticism to idollze him as saint; we ask you not as menials to crouch before him as a monarch; butwe call upon you as free, enlightened, and rePub- llean people to revere bim as a sage, yener- ale him as statesman, and extol him as a warrior. Like the venerable Washington, in whose footsteps he trod, though his body Iall let his glory rise. Let sons yet unborn be pointed to his tomb, Dot as the Sarcopha- gus of an eastern monarch, but as the s.hum- hLc depository" of one of ColumBia's noblest sons. Let Mount Vernon, which has long stood as fhe depositorv of a solitary sage, ,,. I'd in the tomb of the Hermitage, a rival of it's glory.

wuIG OUTRAGE IN TENNESSEE,


 The Memphis newspapers bring us the nainful intelligence that FRREDERlo r. srAN- TON, Esq, the Democratic candidate Tor Con, gres in the Memphis district, was shot ana severely wounded, in the face, by Dr. JAMES R. CHRISTIAN, of Memphis. This outrage was perpetrated on the 3oth July, uit, at Germantown, village, some twelve mics east of Memphis. The facts of the case, as we learn 'hfeesn inc Memphis papers, seem to be, Tn substances as follows:
 For some time past, Christian, with e'h- CTS. had been engaged in prepagatlng misrep- resen,ations of the statements ot Mir Stan ton. with the view of defeating h's eieetoh' if possible, by fair means or foul. enriS- tan had gone so far as to publish h's ms representations in the form of letter, through enc of the Memphis papers. The allegations of this letter Mir. Stanton had pronounced 'o he untrue. On the Both July, Mr. Stanton had an appointment to meet his Wing oPpo- nent, Mir. Scruggs, in discussion, at oetlnsn- town. Knowing of this appointment, Chris tian. armed with six-barrelled pistol, anc attended by two friends, repaired to German town, before the speaking commenced. Inn mediately on arriving there, he had all Inter view with Mr, .Scruggs; aud, then, attende' by one or more of lis friends, sought ou Mir Stanton, met him in friendly manner shook him cordially by the hand, and re qnested to speak with him in private Ate | little conversation Christian called hs tw friends towards him. and then renewed hl conversation with Mir. Stanton; contradicsin in direct and positive terms Mr. Stanton's dt nial and explanation of what Christian ha charged, and was charging him with Att repeated contradictions, from Christian, NJ Stanton gave him the lie. Upon this, Chris tian, having kept his hand in his pocket un ll then, drew his six-barrelled pistol fror his pocket, and shot him in the face -th ball ranging outside of the jaw bone, an backwards and downwarls into the neck.
 The wound was, at first, thought to b mortal; but has, since, been found not like ly to be so, although very severe. Mir. Star ton is considered entirely out of danger.

 The market is without any particular variation since our last weekly remarks. Sales of Western 1 Produce is generally in small parcels The stock of Cotton is too small for operations 10 any extent. The only article in which there is any business of l importance doing is Tobacco for which there is a fair demand, but the stock is now becoming so much reduced that transactions must consequently be limited
 The late favorable accounts from Liverpool and Hayre have had tendency to advance the prices of Cotton fully ct,, iu the small transactions now going on. Two bales of the new crop have been receiged-one from Mississippi, and the other from Red River The Mississippi Cotton is con sidered fully fair and the Louisiana middng fair CoTToN-The sales of the week only amount 10 about 400 bales, and prices have been fully ct above the rates of last week. but as they are SO irregular, omit quotations for the present, and besides the transactions are sc small they are scarce

In an action of replevin, in the cepa and deiinef, the plea of non cePit puts in issue the. takiag alone, and admits the property and possession in the plaintiff.
 Under such issue, the defendant is pfeclu- ded from offering evidence of title in himself, or another, the effect of his plea being to dlselaim title and possession, and admit them in the plaintiff.
 A non-suit cannot be ordered in any case by the court, without the consent and acqui- ! essence of the plaintiff.

 To enttle a party to relief in chancery against q judgment at law, 1t must concIu- siyely appear that the judgment was obtained by fraud, accident, or mistake, unmixed with , any negligence on his part.
 The defendant at law cannot come into ehancery for new trial or relief, when there Is no special ground of surprise or ignorance o, important facts suggested, or where no eouitable ., ,,;,"camstanee has arisen since the trial at law, and whc2Ire he has neglected to defend himself with due oh,;gence III the proper placc.-(As held in Andrews vs. Fem ten, l Ark. R. 186)
 This rule, however, is confined 10 cases where the defence Is purely legal, and of ex- elusive common law jurisdiction.
 If court of law and a court of equity, have concurrent jurisdiction over the subject matter, the party may make his election as 10 the tribunal which shall determine the controversy, and cannot be compelled to sub nit to an adjudication at law, when he pre- lers going into chancery, but if he makes his defence at law, he cannot afterwards re- sort to chancery the court which first ac- quires jurisdiction determines the matter con- elusively between the parties; but if he make no defence at law, he may ask relief of the ancellor.-Reversed
