Hhothe North say Of MNard FaImore.-The N
Y. Express, in speaking of the efforts of South
ern Locofocos to stigmatize Willard Fillmore as an
Aboli'ionist, and of the infamous pamphlet they
have published, remarks:
To enter into an exposition of the matter in the
pamphlet would not be worth the whiIe-for here,
1t Is well enough known that though Milard Fill
more, in common with all Northern men, looks np-
on slavery as a national calamity. yet, as a calamity.
with which IN the States, where it is, we have no
concern-while in every, and all respects, he is an
enemy to the Abolition agitation and the Abolitionis,s
are enemies of his. If Milla,d Fillmore is, as stated
ed in this pamphlet, an Abolitionist. then every man
in the fee States belongs to the Abolition party
and If he is too good for Southern Locoofocos to
vote for, we have not any body, that is, especially
since MIR. Van Buren,. once so dearly beloved in
the South, has pat himself out of Southern Locofoco
favor.

The following lines have been handed us,

since figured considerably in the affairs and councils
of the nation. If it is not poetry, it is at least pro-

CHE BIaek Gocka1e.
There is one within this mighty land,
Already known to fame,
But the future for one act will brand
His vain and fimsey name.
His youthful sins, like morning showers.
From memory may fade,
Save one, which ever darkiy lowers
He wore the Black Cockade.
True, when he wore that Black Cockade.
He thought not of the time,
When-like the shirt for Nessus made
Twill stick to him, a crime.
To him 'twillbe anunIucky day,
The day of that parade,
When, as Captain of that band so gay,
He wore the Black Cockade.
For history's page will treasure it,
With dark and gloomy lines,
And in his path it will often fit,
When he for power pines.

The "OLD CH1EF."-This is the name of a
handsomely got up and ably edited paper, by WIN.
ScoTr HAYNES, published in Monroe, La, and
supports the Baltimore nomination. With our
friend II. we exchange with pleasure, and can as
sure him, that although we cannot politically, yet
pecuniarily we wish him every success. But we
cannot refrain from saying that for a Cass paper
to be called the "OId Chief" Just caps the climax
in the way of naming party papers. Now, THE
Bolter," would have been the thing, and if there
was any possibility tina. any other Cass paper
could be started in this region before the election
for we don't think there will be many Cass papers
after that event-we would recommend it to adopt
the name we have suggested.

Texas,

The steamship Globe arrived at New Orleans
on the 18th, bringing papers of the llth inst, from
which the following extracts are taken:
Fight.-A letter TO the editor of the Victoria Ad-
vocate. dated at San Antonio, August Oath, states
that a few days previous, Lieut. Brown, of Capt.
Crnmp's company of Texas Rangers, with about
thirty men, had a fight With about the same nuln-
Der of Lipan Indians, who had stolen some horses
from the Rangers camp. Ten Lipans were killed,
about one hundred and twenty-five head of horses
and mules were taken. and the Texans returned
without the loss of a man.
Col. Hays and chihuahua, -Some persons have
supposed that the announcement of the expedition
of Col. Hayes with 100 armed men, to Chihuahua,
had something to do with the mysterious Buffalo
Hunt. Such is not the fact. The object of the ex-
pediuon is to mark out and open a good road for
commercial purposes in order to draw the Chihua-
hna trade into Bexar. Col. Hays left. or was to
have left, that city about the 9th nit. with some
twenty of The citizens of Texas and abou, 40 Rang
ers. from Capt. Highsmith's company, to explore
the route. The expenses of the party are borne by
the merchants Of bexar. The success of this nnder-
taking. which we doubt not, and of others which
will follow it, will result, unless we are greatly mis-
taken, IN a complete change of the route Of the
overland trade to Mexico. The distance from San
Antonio to Chihuahua is not one-thlrd that of the
ront now travelled from Missouri.

borne abnndantIy in Western Texas this season.
quite an item to the people of some neighborhoods
there. The export of this article from a small dis
trlc' IN the West. has sometimes been valued as high
as $780, coo.
Returning.-Eigh ty wagons seven hundred mules
belonging to the army, passed through Crockett.
a short iirne since. on their way to Louisiana, from
Mexico. Some three or four hundred more wagons
are reported TO be behind.
MURDER.-The Huntsville Banner gives the fol-
lowing account of a murder in Tyler county:
Jackson and James Cheshire, and their half
brother, got into a fight with a man by the name of
Puilam. which ended in the killing of the latter
The fight occurred on the bank of the Neches, and
was witnessed by some Others on the opposite bank.
When the fight ended, the Cheshires were seen to
throw PnIiam in the liver and leave. Search was
made IN the water for PuIlam, who was found the
day aiter-his throat cut, and his nose and both
ears bit off. Jackson Cheshire has since been ap-
pretended. A large reward has been offered for
the apprehension of The others.

All the lines constructed and organized I'M
der my arrangements West OF Buffalo and Pitts
burSh, were constructed under the public de-
claration embodied in my contracts witlrstock-
holders and in my memorials to sundry legis-
latures, TO the following effect:-"That the
Public generally shall have ample guarantee for
the best modes of Telegraphing which Ameri-
can ingenuity has yet devised, the right TO use
three different systems has been secured by me
TO the end that no delay or difficulty need
ever occur from relying exclusively on any one
mode of Telegraphing upon the Lines construc-
ted through my agency.
Influenced by these views and arrangements,
the Public may rest assured of an early compile
ton of the remaining link of the Line between
Louisville and New Orleans; and that, by some
of the various Telegraph Systems devised b.
ingenious Americans. the whole Line will be
kept in steady operation. Whatever system
or systems may be adopted, all that is asked OF
the Public is fair trial; and it will speedily
be seen whether the thousand miles Of Tele-
graph south of Louisville are undeserving of a
share of that Confidence with which the Amer

FRIDAY MORNING, SEP. 90.

o. Gen. Combs is making speeches every
day in Ohio, and he is evidently doing energet-
&c and glorious service in the Wing cause. The
wig papers of Ohio speak with enthusiasm of
his wit, his argument, his eloquence, and his
power
The Louisville Journal says: awe see it
stated that Gen. c. intends going from Ohio in
to New York. We hope he may change his
mind. His services may be needed in Ohio,
but they not needed in New York, the lat
ter State being certain for Gen. Taylor BY an
overwhelming majority. II the gallant Gen
eral can be spared from Ohio, let him go into
Indiana, where the Wings will give him a
warm greeting and where he will find noble
field for his labors."
Yes, lei him come this way and we promise
him the warmest kind of reception, aud such
crowd Of Hoosier boys TO listen to him as he
has not seen since the glorious campaign of 40.
We are extremely anxious to have Gen. Combs
and Col. Marshall among us, and we hope they
will find it convenient to visit this part Of In
diana, and the sooner the better.

O5 The Abolitionists and Locofocos find
fault with Gen. Taylor because he is plain,
unassuming old man. Martin Van Buren, and
Gen. Cass, on the contrary, are of your band
box class Of politicians, who love TO dwell in
princely mansions, repose on beds of down,
and inhaIe the healthy atmosphere of costly
perfumes.
How would not the bones Of such men ache,
after the bivouac on the banks of the Rio
Grande! What figure they would cut sitting
down TO the unpalatable meal Of salt pork and
mouldy- biscuit
How would either of them have behaved al
the battle Of Buena Vista, where there wa,
neither time ior busting broad cloth, nor break
ing swords in hollow stumps? Instead of bu-
gle, fife and drum, they would have substituted
the more melodious plano, harp, or gultar.-
Their nerves would have been decidedly dis
tnrbed by the 'deyilish' clangor OF the vulgar
trumpet.
Old Zach asks no favors from such men. He
is one of the people-plain and considerations
In his manner, as he is accused of bslaS-who
"never turned his skirt on friend, nH HE
back on foe."
AS Gov. Letcher asserts Of him, when he Is
waited upon at the White House, instead OF
employing iveried servant TO carry up the
card ofan applicant for admission, he will
'wadde" down on the same legs which be-
strobe Old Whitley in battle, aud taking farm
er Smith or farmer Jones BY the baud, lead him
in, and having required him 10 remain for
dinner, in his own familiar way to do the hon
ors Of his table, without stint or affecta-
ton.
TOO simple in his manners for PRESIDENT

lection OF men TO fill public Offices, now ma
