in the height of fame acquired IN her
native country and in the neighboring
nations Of the Continent, she was waited
on by the Empressario of the principal
Opera House in Paris, and was offered
terms she thought inadequate; and when,
bv way of attaining his purpose, he urged
her that she needed the stamp of Paris
approval, and that without it, all the
reputation she had achieved or could
achieve in Germany, would do her no
good she Indignantly exclaimed--"What

The grand Jury of Harris county, Ga,
in the discharge OF those duties which re-
uuire ;hesn to take notice Of nuSanceS,
have made a PreSe,ttHzcItt, from wnlca
we quote as follows:
I'VE decidedly diSapprobate the course
pursued by our last Legislature, ia max
ing provision for calling State Conven-
ton in the event California Is admitted
into the Union as a State. We do not
believe such an act OH The part OF Con-
gress 10 be sufficient ground To dissolve
the Union, nor do We believe in the past
movement of those who have advocated
and advanced the holding of the Nash
Vile Convention. We hold that Congress
has committed no act authorizing the
holding OF said Convention; thai the
power OF Legislature upon the subject be-
longs TO Congress alone having been
granted by the Constitution oi the
United States; hence every movement
in that way we regard as being revolu-
tionary IN lis character; that the time for
the people 10 move, If they move at all,
is only when the Constitution has been
violated IN PLAIN aud paipable manner.
Until then we hold that we are most SOL
emnly bound, as good and faithful; ci,-

ciple and measure that will perpeluate

INSURANCE. ON RED RIVER.


Mr.. ErTER: AS the amount annually
paid by the planters on upper Eco ff'ei
for insurance, forms no inconsiderable
item of the expense of trahsportatioa, l
have deemed the following letter, from
highly respectable gentleman Of Memphis
of some importance to large NUMBER
of your readers; showing as 1t does'
considerable difference in the rates charg-
ed by the Memphis insurance company
and the. insurance companies OF Ne"
Orleans. Notwithstanding the loss to
The underwriters, has been less IN upper
Red river, for the past two years, than
at any time since the opening OF steam
navigation, it is a we'll known fact, that
the ratesssof charges have steadily IN
creased. Some years ago, the rate OF ln-
surance on upper Red river was t per
cent. Subsequently, it was increased to
p and has now reached per cent.
There is no telling where these ru'nons
rates will end, as long as our planters
continue to bestow their patronage upon
those companies who have established
and still adhere to them. Being fully
satisfied that the planters of Red river
were imposed upon in this respect, ana
that the risk between Fulton and Shreve-
port did not justify the exhorbitant rates
charged, I requested friend at Memphis
to have my crop insured there. From
his reply it will be seen, that response
BILE company at Memphis will take the
risk at one-half the rates charged by the
New Orleans companies, and that he has
in contemplation the establishment of an
agency for the accommodation of the
planters on upper Red river. The differ
ence even in small crop, is of some i'm
portance, and / for enc am disposed to
avail myself of the benefits arising there
from F.
MEMPHIS, Oct. 3. 1850.
DEAR SIR: 1 have procured from the
Memphis Insurance Company an open
policy to cover all of your crop-avera-
ging your bales at S50-at premium OF
II per hundred, or S74 cents per bale.
1t must, as you are aware, be shipped Oh
boats which stand fair at the Inspectors
Office in New Orleans.
l hope to procure in few days, or as
soon as there is meeting of the board
of directors, an agency for -- your
section of country, which will be con-
siderable saving to the Planters. The
office IS considered here as one OF the
best. The stock is owned by our cltl-
zens and is we'll secured under the Char
ter. 1t has been in operation five or six
wears, and I have never known any diff
culties to arise in arranging and paying
losses. I prefer making my assurances
in this office, and do not own any OF the
stock,
Respectfully, &c.

certainty about this law, occasloned
by the engrossing clerk leaving out
few words in engrossing the bill, and
by the attempt in Congress to pass a
supplemental bill The circular of the
Secretary of the Interior removes all
doubts upon the subject. He avows in
the most emphatic manner tina. all trans
fers before the issuing of the patent are
void, and has made provisions for publish
ing the simple forms necessary for obtain
ing the land, which will be furnished to
the clerk of every County Court in the
United States He moreover recon-
mends that every county and township
in the United States shall provide means
for having the rights OF soldiers verified
without expense. These precautions will
secure the bounty of the county, directly
to those for whom it was intended, and
not to spectators. Soldiers under this
arrangement will find no difficulty in
proving up their claims.

almost certain that the abolitionists and

from the latest returns it is probable the
