The Alabama, at new Orleans, brings ad-
vices from Galveston to the 30th ult She
carried over Gen Taylor and the U. S. troops
We condense the following from the Picayune
The Steamer Monmouth, now in the service
OF the U. :. Government, arrived at Galveston

was murdered few days since by Il negro for
merIy the property of the doctor. Although
there was no witness to the act, the negro was
suspected, accused, confessed the deed, and has
been hung.
Below we give an extract of letter from
Capt. Grice, of the Undne, giving an account
of the landing OF the U. S. troops in Texas 1t
is dated,
ARKANSAS BAY, July IS, ls45.
On Saturday, the s6th inst, the American
flag was first planted in Texas by authority,
upon the south end of st. Joseph's Island, upon
which | am landing the troops from the Alaba-
ma, inside the bay, There are now 500 men
encamped here, and the scene is full of interest.
The other vessels with troops are not expected
10 arrive lor several days.
! The various committees in the convention at
Austin have reported the different provisions
for a constitution for the State of Texas, but it
is said many Of them will undergo revision,
The following are some Of the most interesting
articles.
The following articles from the 'Bill of
Rights" may not be uninteresting:
3d-No religion test shall ever be required
as qualification to any office of public trust
under this State.
l3th-No bill of attander, er post tscto law,
or any law imparlng the obligation of con-
tracts, shall be made, nor vested rights be d-
vested, unless for purposes of public utility, and
for adequate compensation previously made.
l4th-No person shall ever be.imprisoned
for debt.
l9th-Perpetuties or monopolies are con-
trary to the genius of free government, and
shall never be allowed; nor shall the law OF
primogeniture or entailmeut ever BIO in force in
this State.
The LIST section of the "Legislat,ve Depart
ment" provides that "every free white male
citizen of the United States, who shall have re
sided in Texas one year preceding an election
and the last six months in the county or town
in which he offers to vote, shall be qualified
elector. Indians not taxed, and Africans anC
defendants of Africans excepted"
No minister of the gospel or priest shall be a
member of the General Assembly.
The first election to be held on the first Mon
day and the following day in November, 1916,
and the election shall be held on the same days
in November every two years thereafter.
The Governor is to be elected for four wears,
and be ineligible for the next four He is to
appoint the Judges of the Supreme and Dis
trict Courts, with the advice and consent OF
two-thirds of the Senate.

known cedar stump, about ten or fifteen PAGES
higher up the stream than the place from
whence Mr.. Piper is said to have started, and
withal much more difficult place to ascend,
as any one may ascertain by examination
After going perpendicularly about thirty feet,
he came to clump of bushes, where he rested
a little, and proceeded on to another ledge pro-
truding little fom the main body Of the rock;
thence directly up the steep and rugged ridge
lying between the deep ravines on each side of
the cedar stump, until he came to the bench,
where first saw him. While upon that bench,
which is about forty feet from the top, Mr..
Shaver inscribed his name in very legible cha
racters which may be seen by any one from the
top of the Bridge. He then advanced I'D the
stream along the very edge of the awful pre-
clpice that oVerhangs the ravine, until he came
around on the opposite side of the stump from
where he started. lie then came to tie last
ascent Of any danger, and it was truly awful to
see man attempting to climb an oyerhangng
cliff at the distance of $50 feet from the bot
tom Of the dreadful abyss that yawned beneath
him, while in ascending his back was III some
measure downward, and he had moreover fire.
quently to remove loose stones, in order TO Sc
cure a hold for his hand. in making the first
etlc:t either his strength or resolution failed
him, and he returned TO the bench and rested
My feelings at this moment were truly indie
scribable. To see fellow being poised, as it
were, between heaven and EARTH with barely q
possibility Of ascent or descent, clinging to the
precarious shrubbery on the side of lofty pre-
cipice, at the base Of which expected every
moment to see him dashed to atoms, produced
4 sensation ! cannot describe. Some of the
more cautious and prudent of the company pro-
posed sending log ropes by which to draw him
up, which was hardly possible under the Cir
cumstances, as perhaps none Of US had cour-
age sufficient to venture down the ravine far
enough to see him on the side where he then
was. Nevertheless, after divesting himself of
his boots, and swinging them around his neck
with handkerchief, he made the second effort
in which he happily succeeded, amid our hap
pest congratulations. He was very pale and
in perfect tremor when he arrived at the top,
from which be had not entirely recovered be-
fore | took my leave.
