full in it's requirements, and robbery in its conse-
quences. Texas will never consent to sale Of
the territory designated in the bill the South
ern boundary extends nearly to FL paso, and in
cludes nearly the whole OF FL Paso county,
which has been organized II is true that a
portion OF this country is a barren desert yet
there is no doubt, but that its unexplored regions
abound in mineral wealth. and its untold trea-
sures may yet enrich the State. According to
the present designated boundaries OF this country,
it leaves portion Of Texas territory lying be-
tween il and the Indian or western territory, be-
longing to the United States-about one hun
dred miles wide and three hundred long, that
will be worse than useless to Texas. 1t will
remain home for the Indian until the North
shall demand it, and then it will have to 60 with
a much larger portion of our Northern territory,
to be organized into free Statc-Lone Stdr.
We have lately conversed with several gentle
men just from different parts OF the country,
who inform us that the public sentiment, WIN
only here and there an exception, Is universally
in favor Of sustaining the territorial rights OF
Texas, ms declared by the republic OF Texas IN
1886. The feeling Of Indignation is everywhere
manifested, that the General Government should
fist take military possession OF portion OF our
State, Il threatening the authorities OF Texas with
the sword and the bayonct, in case they should
attempt to establish their civil jurisdiction there,
and Mt the same time making proposition to
purchase the very territory thus wrested from
them by violence. 1t is the general feeling that
such proposition cannot be entertained (where
no choice is thus left us but acceptance,D with

Though small and weak, in point OF CONNER
cial force she has the will to dare, and the hardy
sons to execute any and every feat of bravery
that may be requisite in asserting her just and
unqualified right to the territory, over which the
United States now usnrps an arbitrary posses
sion. War to the knife, is now our motto, il i

If such proposal is not dshonorable and in
sulting, we know not what can be so. But again,
the Compromise did not allow Texas the cxer
else of her own discretion in the disposition of
the money to be paid for thus relinquishinr her
claim to nearly half the State, but required that
her foreign bond holders should be first paid as
a priyeledged class, and that only @the residue"
should be paid ''as the said State may direct
We would now respectfully ask the Advocate
whether Texas could submit to such dctaton
without dishonor! The Pearce BILL which il APP
pears probable, has by this time passed both
houses, is even more dishonorable to Texas in
this respect, for it expressly keeps back one
half to the purchase money, and makes Congress
our guardian to pay our debts, as if Texas could
not be trusted with her own business.
We can only say, that we are glad the true
issue has been at last presented to our citizens
We shall now soon know whether our citizens
are ready to meet that issue and defend theil
rights in view of the superior power against
whom we shall have to contend in order tc
maintain them-ib

North to South; it's extreme breadth l76 miles
the State is an oblong square it contains $1,000
square miles, or %, 800 900 acres.
The marked differences between those points OF
the State that lie on lis principal rivers and their
tributaries and other parts. constitute Its proper
and natural divisions. The Ohio Valley, embracing
the Counties of Wayne, Fayette, Union-ying on
the White .Water-and Ripley, Scott Washing
ton and Orange, embraces 5000 square miles
Some of the best land in the Yves. is in this region
1t ia a limestone region, covered with very heavy
timber The White River Valley runs northwest
from the Wabash, through the center of the State
TO the Ohio line, covering 1000 square miles. This
part Of the State is densely timbered and heavily
and is uniformly level. In the center part OF this
order. The Wabash Valley contains 1900 square
miles 1t is very fertile, bat little broken, and
interpreted with oak barrens.
Nearly twothirds Of the State is monotonous

A SuLTAS's JOKE An incident, which occur
red soon after the accession OF the present Sultan,
shows that in some respects, at least he not In
disposed to follow up the strong traditions Of bis
race. At the beginning Of his reign, the Ulema was
resolved, if possible, TO prevent the new Sultan
from carrying on those reforms which mad ever been
so distasteul TO the Turks, grating at once against
their religious associations and their pride Of race,
and which recent events had certainly proved not
10 be productive Of those good results anticipated
by Sultan Mahmoud. To attain this object, the
Muflis adopted the expedent Of working on the re-
hgious fears Of the youthful Prince. One day, AZ he
was pray ing according to bis custom, at bis fathers
tomb he heard voice from beneath reterating in
a sthed tone the words, 81 burn The next time
that he PRAYED there the same words assaied his
ears. az burn" was repeated again and again
and no word beside. He applied TO the chief Of the
Imams 10 know what this prodigy might mean, and
was informed, in reply, that his father, though
great man. had also been, unfortunately, great re-
former and that as such 1t was bat too much to be
feared that he had terrible penance TO undergo In
the other world. The Sultan sent bis brother.in.
law to pray at the same place, and afterward sew.
eral Others OF bis household and on each occasion
the same portentous words were heard One day
be announced bis intention Of going In state to his
fathers tomb, and was attended thither by splen-
did retinue including the chief doctors OF the Ma
hometen law. Again during his devotions were
card the words, burn" and all except the Sal
tan trembled. Rising from bis prsyer.crpet he
called In bis guards. and commanded them 10 dig
up the pavement and remove the tomb. 1t was in
vain that the Muftis interposed, reprobsEing 80
great PROCLAMATION, and uttering dreadful warning
as TO its consequences. The Sultan persisted The
foundations Of the tomb were laid bare, and IN
cavity skiliully left among them was found-not q
burning Sultan bat Dervise. The young Mon
arch regarded him for time fxedly and in silence,
and then said, without any further remark or the
sliehtes ct preston Of anger, "You burnt Wemust
cool you 10 the Bosphorus." In a few minutes more
the Dervise was in a bag, and the bag Immediately
after was in the BOsphorus.
