The Difference.

The Locoloco papers are abusing Mr.. MERE
DrrH because he predicted deficiency Of five
or six millions in our revenue for the late fiscal
year, whereas the result shows that there will
be a surplus. The Tuscaloosa Monitor OBJ
serves upon this statement that it indicates a
slight mistake. and one that would not have
been very likely to occur under Locofoco man
agement Whenever deficit under Locofoco
rule was foretold, it was dead certain to prove

COPPER MINES IN PENNsyLvANIA.-Valuab
veins oil copper ore have been found and opened in
pennsylvania, near the Schuykill river, about
twenty miles from the city of Philadelphia The
Pennsytoaninn says these mines, in richness and
extent, are said to be equalled only by the rich
mines of Cornwall, in England, which they are
said to resemble in remarkable degree. Some OF
these veins have been opened to great depth, and
traced for three miles in extent, showing that they
are very regular and inexhaustible.

STATE OF TAMAULIPAs-The Brownsville (Tex-
as) Rio Grande Sentinel, of the 25th ultmo, says
that during the week previous report was in cir
culation that the Of government of the State of
Tamaulipas was about TO be removed from the city
Of Victoria to the neighboring city Of Matamoros,
Immediately opposite Brownsville; and that paper
was informed thatsome of the deputies of the Con-
gress of the State lad arrived at San Fernando EN-
route for the capitol. Great advantages, it
was thought, would result to Brownsville, if this
report proved to betrue.

HomcIoE.-on Thursday the 9th instant, diff
hculty occurred between Mr. Daniel j. Dohan,
planter Of this county, and Mr.. Henry NJ. Seymore,
his ovcrseer, which resulted in the death of the lat
ter.
The circumstances, as appeared in the exsmiua-
ton before the magistrates court, were, that in
consequence Of his bad treatment Of the negroes,
Dohan had determined TO discharge scymorc, and
that upon announcing the fact TO him, Scymore
made an attack upon him with a cow hide, which
Dohan resisted by striking him with sword cane.
Seymore catching the cane, drew off the lower part
and with IL inflicted several severe blows, cutting
Dohan's head badly in two places. The spear re-
naming in Dohan's hand, nc stabbed Scyinore in
the right side, penetrating to the lower region Of
the heart, and causing bis death in few minutes
II proved by one Of the witnesses that sey-
more had anticipated bis discharge by Dohan, and
had threatened TO give him n severe logging.
Upon examination before magistrates, the homi-
eide was deemed justidable. and MIR Dohan wa,
discharged without bail

Missouri RIvER.-This stream has not been
known 50 low and difficult of navigation for Sc
yeral months it is at the present time. Quite a
number of boats have arrived within the past day
two, from ST. Joseph, and one or two even from
points above, but they all come down light, and
several with no freight at all. And what's still
better evidence of the difficulties and dangers at
tending lite navigation, scarcely steamer has
reached our wharf fromth quarter for a week past
but has been more or lcss injured by snags. From
Glasgow TO the mouth, navigation is reported as
exceedingly difficult, and this is by far the worst

conceivable obstruction, and fairly sown with
snags.

From the Ne,c Orleans Picayune Of the ID inst.
From Texas.

BY the arrival of the steamship Galveston, Cap
tain Place, we have received papers from Calves
ton to the 9th ultimo.
The Galveston Neps learns that the cotton crop
through the country has suffered and is suffering
greatly from the long continued drought. II is
about two months since they have had any rain In
Galveston, and the drought has been OF still longer
continuance in many parts OF the country. IL Is
not probable that the cotton will generally exceed
half an average crop. The sugar cane is, however,
very fine, and promises more iavorably than for
several years past.
The Cipilian, on the contrary, says that the
counts of the cotton crop in Texas continue very
favorable. Ii is not expected that the yield will be
very full one, but it is very good, and will proba
bly, pay better than heavy crop, causing an over
supply;
public meeting was held at San Augustine, on
the 7th utimo TO act upon resolution offered at a

demned the Pearce bill; another declared that the
boundary of Texas, declared by the law of 1896,
must be respected; another that for a valuable
sdcraon the people of Texas might dispose of their
territory north Of 3Io 09-that south of that line it
might be conquered, but never purchased; another
of the resolutions declares that if the late message
of Mr.. Fillmore was intended to intimidae, it has
failed Of its object another declares strong attach
ment TO this Union, but n stronger attachment to
the State of Texas. The question was upon the
adoption OF these resolutions substitute for the
resolution approving of the vote of our Senators

WHAT SORT OF 4 WINTER WE ARE TO HAVE
The Alexandria Gazette says:
We have heard. through scientific friend, that
he has recently examined record of the weather
which has been uninterruptcdy kept through sew
eral generations for the pact three hundred years.
and that he finds that the first three days
prior TO the autumnal equinores, are the autumn
and winter which follow that IL these days be mild
and pleasant, 80 will the winter; if, on the other
hand, the three days preceding be cold and buster
ing, 80 will the autumn and winter that succeed.
Our attention has been more particularly drawn to
this theory from the remarkably fine weather sue
coedng the hailstorm which recently passed over
this section Of country, which is different from
the weather generally succeeding a hail storm"

Posr OFFICE REFoRM.-We perceive that Judge
Hall, the new Postmaster General, has commenced
post Office system. Under the complicated ma
chinery of that system, various erroneous prac-
tices have crept in, which not only embarrassed
the efficiency of the service, but were operating
materially to curtal the available revenues of the
Department To remedy these practices. and with
view to enforce rigid compliance with the es
tablished laws and regulations, circulars to the
postmasters have recently been sent out, and spe
cial agents stationed at those points best calculated
for the discovery and correction of errors whether
intentional or arising from want of proper in
formation.
We have confidence in the faithfulness and in
telligence of the great mass of the deputy post
masters, and doubt not that they will promptly
second the well directed efforts now making by the
head of the Department, TO render that important
branch of the public service useful and faultess

some two years since that it was imPos

the nature Of the climate, soil, geograPh
ical position and character of its inhab
%itanst. Who're, then, is the use Of the
surrender Of the constitutional question.
which would form in future an imRassi.
bic barrier to Northern aggression. II
is time the people reflected over and
Judged OF the acts of their servants
Without Partially or prejudice should
they be judged, and sustained or .condem.
ned according as their acts have been
iudicious and wise, or disastrous and un-
sound. Their idle clamor or ~boisterous
professions should not be needed, but
their acts and the consequences which
must follow should alone be considered /.
Their wordy devotion to the South
should not weigh with the most credu-
lous, when we recoIlect the means used
to make California a free State, through
Col, Stevensun's regiment Of Tree sellers,
and the baseness which could afterwards
make them endeaVor to shift the respon-
sibility from themselves and cast the
odium which followed that event and It's
consequences IN another, a Southerner
by birth, and identified with her institu.
tons from feeling and principle. 1t is
time the people had relieved themselves
Of, these incompetent and laundering
agents. They should trust no longer to
their craftsmanship, their %unmeaning
cant, or loud but empty professiorof de-
votion to Southern rights. The'common
sense Of the people must rebuke and
teach them that wordy clamor will no
protect them from an honest
Judgment.

and not as originally printed: !
Some Southern democratic politicians,
high IN Office, honored with the confidence OF
the people even advocated the acquisition, de.
clarlng, thar only free States could be erected in
the domain thus acquired; while Others of the
same party, less open and candid, but as bold
reckless, and indifferent to Southern interests.
urged the acquisition, after they must have
known i would be destructive to the South

though he intended to close the question uoon
the South forever and at once, colonized, at
me pubic expense . regiment Of free sellers.
in lhat portion Of the territory which WIS best

was insisted on, and carried out.
