As for the wstzes and Polkas they were inimitsbly

The TEA PLANT IN THE UNITED STATEs.-The
planters and farmers Of the Southern States will be
gratified to learn that seven cases Of black and
green tea plants, Chinese stock have just arrived
from London in the ship American Eagle, shipped
by DR.. Junius Smith. during his late visit to that
city. There are 500 plants, Of from five to seven
years growth all are designed by the Doctor for
seed plants A small quantity Of tea seed was
brought out by him in the steamer Britannia, which
was received in London overland from the North
west provinces of India We understand the Doc
tor designs to proceed soon to the South, with
view Of forming a plantation. More plants and
seed are expected from India and China this season.
and if we may judge by the progress already made,
we have now the means in hand of extending tea
plantations throughout such sections ofOur country
as may be found adapted to their culture.-N 7.

RUBIN AND THE AUsTRTANs.-We have re-

Sproprietors Of the borough Of Romano had been ar
rested by the soldiers of Radetzky.. Rubin, who
was born in this borough, and now lives there,
offered 5000 francs for their ransom. The Austrans
exacted 10000 francs, which Rubin was not able
TO find Immediately. The eight prisoners were then
carried away, and few minutes after, the borough
had driven away the Austrian garrison. The neigh

DEATH OF JUICE LEwrs.-The Alexandria Re-

Judge Seth Lewis, of Rapides, died on Wednesday
night at his residence in Pinevie, in the eighty
fifth year of his age. He was District Judge for
many years, and was esteemed as one of the best
jurists of the Louisiana bench Of his time. No man
ever bore a more exemplary character, or was more
highly respected and honored for his many shining
virtues and superior abilities, than was the vene-
rable deceased in the communityln which he lived.
AT. his own request, he was buried with Masonic
rites and was attended to the grave by large con-
course of citizens''

SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER IS.
Texas.

BY the arrival Of the steamship Palmetto, Capt.
Smith, we have received Galveston papers to the
2lst inst. We end in them nothing Of particular
Importance TIE frosts which have occurred in
various parts of the State had checked vegetation,
although the crops have not been materially IN
jured. The Galveston News says
We learn from Mr.. Waller, the District Attorney
that the late frost is supposed TO have done very lit
lie, or no damage to the sugar cane. There may
however, be some few exceptions but in many, if
not most cases. this light frost has been of decided
advantage, enabling the planters to make more
sugar than before. The cotton has generally been
gathered, and Is OF superior quality.
We notice that the Texas Democrat, published
at Austin. has changed hands. II is now continued
byJ Miner and s. Cummings. One Of the former
proprietors, MI. NJ. Cronican, is now connected
with the Western Texan at San Antonio
Darn OF AN EDroK.-We have received the
" Star State Patriot Of the I'd instant, dressed in
mourning for the death OF its able, accomplished,
and much esteemed editor, DIR. Henry B. Kelsey.
He died on the 27th ult aged fifty years. He was
a native Of New York, and emigrated to Texas in
1888 He was a Minister of the Gospel, attached
to the Methodist Episcopal Church, and is repre-
sented as having been most useful and exem-
plary divine
MgxIcAN.--The Galveston News learns from
gentleman direct from Saltillo, that the country
there generally tranquil at present; but from GER
tain indications, and some movements conducted
with apparent effort at concealment and under the
auspices of high official functionaries, we conclude
thai the present Tranquil condition of the country
is not likely to be Of long continuance, or at least
its continuance is quite uncertain The principal
trade in this part Of Mexico is carried to Zacatecas
where it is supported by the great mining interest
of that State Saltillo is represented, however, TO
be fast improving. A larger amount of American
goods is sold here than in any other town of Goa
hula, Of which it is the capital. There are some
dozen American and English merchants in Monte
rey, the capital of Neuva Leon Both Saltlo and
Monterey receive a considerable trade from San
Luis de Potosi. The principal articles of country
produce sold in Saltillo and Monterey in exchange
for merchandise, are, wool, corn, cotton, wheat,
barley, peas, rice, hides, ets. The price Of wool is
81 l25 per aro5G of 25 lbs 1t is quite coarse.
Corn is sold ia Saltillo at ST % per enega of
IL pecks. Cotton is sold at Is cents per h. There
two cotton factories at Saltillo constantly en-
ployed in making mallta, or coarse brown domestic.
We presume these factories are on a very limited
scale. The ordinary price of mania is 20 cents a
vara of 335 inches by large quantities, and twenty
five cents by retail.

REvERsEs OF FORTUNE. = We had omitted to
notice that s. G. Atkinson has purchased the Bur

Mr.. Morris. We welcome Mr. Atkinson back to

and imparts useful lesson. Many years ago he
was the proprietor Of the Saturday Evening Post,
of this city, in which he amassed a considerable
fortune, for those were times when the business
toas a business. In an evil hour he embarked in
wild specuatons and was ruined. His newspaper
passed out of his hands, and after various reyerses
he became again jonrneyman printer. Yet he did
not yield to despair. His motto was, 4" Never give
up the Ship" Though no longer young man, he
herocally battled against the tide Of misfortune,
and, in spite Of constant disasters struggled NAH
fully through the tempest About year ago he
accepted the station of post-rider for the Burlington
Gazette, and the world beheld the spectacle Of
man who had been worth his seventy thousand
dollars traversing the country to deliverl papers,
alike under the storms Of Winter and the heats Of
Summer. subsequently he has been enabled to
purchase the newspaper Of which he was the car

prosperity. Such man deserves to succeed.
