The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral
worth and professional requirements, will compare
favorabiy with the most distinguished in our coun-
try. The medical faculty constitutes an anomaly
in this or any other country--all Of them are ec-
turers and the best of teachers.
Those who will contemplate our geographical
position and the extent of population, have
no doubt as to the eligibility of our situation for
an enterprise of the kind. AS 10 the health, in
cludne al easons Of the year, we deny that any
other city has more.
A common error exists in the minds of many
students relative to the place OF studying medicine
those who intend practising among the diseases OF
the West and South should certainly educate
themselves at school whose Faculty are PractI-
calIy acquainted with those diseases.
That the public may be satisfied of the perfna-
nency Of this school, we feel it our duty to state
that the Trustees and Faculty form unit IN
action, which augurs well for its future success;
and that the peculiar internal organization which
connects them cannot be interrupted

From TEXAS Trouble .qhead.--Much excite

return of Major Neighbors, and his failure to ac-
complain the object Of his mission to Santa Fe-
1t appears that by his report, published in the Ga
zette, that the United States authorities have
thrown away every obstacle in his way, and are
determined to resist all efforts to establish ju-
risdiction over that portion Of our State. Wehave
confidence in the 6rmness of our State Executive,
and we think the time has arrived for him to act
in this emergency. Nothing remains for Texas
now but dishonor, to establish her claim to that
territory at once at the point of the bayonet
Not man in the State would choose the former
alternative.

this occasion .--JMafagorda Tribune

SOUTHERN CoTToS GOODS In BosToN MARKET.
The Tuscaloosa Manufacturing Company, To-

manufactured at their factory in this market,
and also in New York. The goods are of a
coarse fabric, of the kind denomnated Osna-
burgs The factory at which they were made is
now in successful operation, notwithstanding
the high price of cotton; and last year the COM
pany made dividend of 8 per cent. They have
made dividends as large as 40 per cent The
factory has been in operation since 1885, and is
managed in person by Mr.. David Scott, who is
also the largest shareholder, and who last year
caused extensive additions to be made to the
machinery and buildings. The goods are sold
in this city by one of the largest houses in Pearl

our most serious and anxious attention, and we
have proceeded to consider the same with hearts
and minds DESTROYS to know the truth, and our
duty and with firm purpose to do ,ohat both should
require.
II seems to your committee that the sentence in
the case Of said Webster, having been passed by
the court, after full and fair trial, in the course
of which, all the facts and circumstances which
then could be brought light, were patiently and
thoroughly investigated and weighed by the jury,
and having been fully affirmed, after careful re-
vision Of the law upon trial, since had by the full
court, on solemn argument OF both sides, there
appears to be no ground for executive interposi-
ton, except it may be found in the subsequent
confession of the prisoner.
IN this view, the only questions, as it seems to
US, are, whether the statements which said Web
ster now makes in his confession, of the manner
and circumstances of the homicide are so confirmed
by other evidence, or intrinsically probable,
that they ought to be received as true and II true,
whether they Justify the executive in commute
ton Of the punishment
To these questions, the minds of the committee
have been most carefully directed, and, as they.
trust, with no unwillingness on their part to come
to an affirmative conclusion, II they could do so
consistently with supreme regard to truth and
justice. But after all the consideration which thew
have been able to bestow upon this confession, and
under the light of all the evidence and the COM
ments with which it has been accompanied and
supported, they feel constrained to say, that the
effect has not been such as satisfy their minds,
that the position Of the case is materially changed
In other words the palliatiDg facts and circumstan
set forth in the confession have not been so con-
6rmed by other evidence and circumstances, as to
form proper and sufficient basis for executive in-
reference. 8Ff .f8
To this painful conclusion the committee have
unanimously come.
The committee therefore respectfully report,
that they cannot consistently with what they con-
ceive their duty, recommend a communication of the
sentence, in the case Of John w. Webster, as
prayed for in his petition.
Nothing now remains for the committee in the
discharge of this painful duty, but to advise your
excelency in determining upon a time for the ex-
ecution, and they name FRIDAY, THE TEIIR-
TENTH DAY OF AUGUST NEXT, as the
day; and recommend to your exeellency to decide
upon that day the time for the execution Of John
w. Webster JOHN REED, Chairman.
