PROCLAMATION
sF THE SUPREME JUDGE OF NEW MEXICO,
Translated from the Spanish
SANTA FE. March II

SANTA FE, March Is, 1850.
.Hy Esteemed Friend--The arrival of commits
Isoner from Texas has been advertised, and wei
have received the address from the Governor of said
State, ordering the inhabitants on the east sideI
(of the Rio del Norte the organization, under the
[Government of Texas, of three counties. All
|the right of this affair devolves the people, whoI
have the right by the constitution TO move peace
|ably and TO deny absolutely all their obedience
band regard to the doings, orders, or preeiamatons
|of the commissioner from Texas. Il
The Government under whose control we are
living, and the civil officers who administering
Jour laws, have been constituted superior power,
land these laws and these officers we are all Douha
Ito support, until the Government at Washington
make other and more permanent arrangements Tor
1.-The better management Of our Governments y
We should be neither loyal nor disobedient to
Texas. ANY attempt from that Government 10
the unjust usuypation Of our land and boundaries
I'VE in duty bound to resist; but if every thing
lean be obtained by firm and decided will or the
people, although Of pacific character, 1t will be
rather better than 10 come to the facts through
Ithe medium of hostilities.
After having taken the advice of the best friends
|of the country, consider it to he my duty te
charge in the name of those friends, and OF mine
|aso, that every county immediately put IN use
their rights which are already warranted to them
by the law s, to come forward and to express with
unity and firmness, and in the form of resolutions
their opinion very interesting an affair foi
lus all. ~
And that when such thing-the resolution
Ishall be dom they may be forwarded to Santa
Fe for the pu blication, with the request that such
meetings as ours shall take place on the first day
2of the week next 's t.1SE@- -
The following rules are to he embosomed in I'll,
peoples mind: Not to the election polls which
Shall be opened by the commissioner, not to ap
prove, nett her to strengthen any Of his acts OF
1doings and not to tribute to him any kind of ODE
zdience or espeot. .-.,..-,.....t .
If the pc ope keep strictly this plan in their con
duct, the present mission of the commissioner OF
Texas will be as useless as that of Judge Barre
last year. ,...
This very interesting affair is already in the
hands of the people. The military power neither
helps, hin'iers, intrudes itself in favor mol
against the claims OF Texas. .a Z
The Gel ieral Government is very culpable for
ts neglect in the arrangement OF the boundaries
|of New NJ exico; but we are waiting every day
for news f rom our delegate, and feel well founded
hopes of the complete success of his mission,
while also are true and faithful to ours.
|Y our fello w-ctizen and servant,
J. HOUGHTON.

PROSPECTUS OF A NEW SERIES OF
The Southern Quarterly Review.

COMMENCED ON THE lsr OF APRIL, 1850, By
WALKER a. RICHARDS, Proprietors & Publishers.
TERMS-S5.0O per annum, payable in adj
vance.
The publishers Of the SOUTHERN QUARTERLY
REVIEW beg leave to entreat the attention of the
public to that Work, to return thanks for the in
variable indulgence which has smiled upon it's
progress hitherto, and to express the hope that
this countenance will not be Withdrawn now that
THE publication, passing from the hands of the
former publisher into their own, makes, as it
|were, fresh start in the pursuit of well known
PROCESS. They cannot allow themselves to doubt,
that-with all their former contributors, with the
Iaddition Of many new ones, not less valuable end
Observation-Disclosures the conduct still of Mr.. w.
|GILMoRE SIMMs, its sole Editor during the past
|year-and with the assurance which the subscr-
|bers now beg leave to give, that the work will be
|henceforward issued in style very superior to
that Of the past, on better paper, with fine new
type, and with regard to neatness and finish,
(which will leave it second TO in the country
They will continue to receive that patronage which
|thsir own endeavor and the claims of such an Or
gan seem reasonably to demand. .
The writers for the REVIEW include the greater
humber Of the best and ablest names of the
country. They represent the highest literary
talent of the South, and reflect truly, with ma
tive earnestness, force, and fidelity, the real pol
icy and the peculiar institutions Of our section.
We entreat the people Of the South, who feel
the Importance of such periodical as the Review,
TO excuse its deficiencies, and generously lend
themselves to its assistance. With their counte-
nance and concurrence, it can become the estab-
lished organ Of domestic opinion-the champion
of our rights and character abroad-the guide and
counsel to intellectual progress and proper taste
at home-the arena in which the better minds OF
the country may always distinguish themselves,
and find the proper provocation TO execution and
performance-the wholesome authority to which
I'VE may always turn for the correction and re-
straint of crude and undigesed speculation. These
are all objects of the last necessity to civilized
people, who have anything to gam by enterprise,
|or any thing to lose by remissness and indiffer-
|ence. Once more, we ask from the patrons of the
Review, indulgence for the past, and such SYM
patty and support for the future are due TO the
vital interests which it faithfully serves, and the
character which it seeks TO establish.

From the .4lin Californian, June l

THE FUNDAMENTAL BLOCk oF QUAhiL.
Our readers, we have rea son to believe, are no
generally apprised of the interesting fact that 4
block of California gold-be,,ring quartz has beer
procured, at the expense of the State, to be con.
ltributed in the erection of the proposed monu'
|ment to the memory of Washington, at the seat
|of our general government.
This block of gold-bearing quartz is from the
Mariposa diggins, near Fr!emont's mines, and
weighs about l25 pounds In shape it is irregu-
liar, approaching square, its sides varying. from
eighteen to twenty inches in length. II averages
i'm thickness nine inches-across its surface diago-
nally it is twenty-one inches by measurm ent.
Very little gold is perceptible to the naked eye,
but it is estimated to contain about eighty dollars
worth.
Gov. Burnett has invested our estimable fellow
citizens, Hon. John Bidwell and Judge Fl. A.
|Schoolcraft, with authority to attend PERSONAL y
to the transmission of the block Of quartz to the
States, and they leave in the Oregon, this day, to
place this offering of California wealth and patri7
otism by the sides of those from her sister States

CROPS IN EAST TENNESSEE.

There are among the farmers of this section
| at present, complaints both loud and deep of
Z the observance of rain, and the injurious effects
of the long-continued drought upon the grow
line crops. Wheat, which a few weeks since
presented the most promising appearance, has
5wthin n few days, shown alarming indications
of the rust in various places, and it is supposed
! that many fields will be seriously injured there
3by Corn is miscrable-in many places only a
flew inches high, and making no perceptible
growth. The crop must be short one; and
Qvou can safely count on high prices for meal and
bacon the coming year. OATS are also very
door: indeed almost failure in many sections.
Potatoes ere also behind hand' but the early
planted fields promise average crops. Grass
4 has withstood the drought very well and yielded
flair crops of hay. Fruit is very fine-the peach
land apple trees everywhere bending beneath
their loads
Horses and mules are scarce and dear, and
ivcry few hogs arc being raised for Southern and
aEastcrn markets.
JTpon the whole The prospects of East Ten
A csscc, are rather unprOmsing at present; but
N thuk the panic in some places Is far greater
sthan the signs Of The times" warrant. There
His not the least danger Of the famine that many

The Mobile Advertiser says: l.. Troost, ESQ,
chief engineer of the Alabama and Tennessee
River Railroad, arrived in town yesterday. We
learn from him that all the preliminary surveys
|arc completed, and that several excellent routes
have been obtained from the Alabama to the Ten
|nessee rver--the maximum grade going south not
Exceeding 40 feet TO the mile. Contrary to all
Expectation, a route has been found over the
Sand Mountain with grade of 40 feet to the mile
lin southery direction. One hundred and ten
miles of the road will be placed under contract I'M
|mediately.
The best possible feeling. we are glad to learn,
exists throughout the line OF the road. I'm the
counties most Immediately interested, the citizens
have taken stock literally, and are making pre-.
|parations to do the grading. The right of way on
|all the line from Selma TO near Talladega has
anticipated beyond that point.
