THE COURSE MARKED oUT.---On Thursday, the
Joint select committee of the two Houses agreed,
as we are happy to learn, upon recommending to
the Legislature the maintenance Of our rights and
the enforcement OF our jurisdiction over the Santa
Fe territoryhe use Of the entire resources of the
State therefor--the raising and equipment OF at
least three thousand rangers, and marching them
without delay to the scene of Instruction. The
report of the committee, with the appropriate
bills, will probably be submitted to-day.
We rejoice, in common, with every friend of
Texas, at this manifestation of a sound and de-
termined spirit on the part of the representatives
Of the people. Our situation requires the utmost
unani,nity OF sentiment and conceit and vigor of
action. The meetings Of our citizens, held
all over the State, show that they are fully alive.
to the importance Of the crisis, and are willing to
sanction and promote the most effective measures
to vndicate our rights and resist the attempted
usurpation Of our territory. In the whole course
of our long residence in Texas, we have never
seen among the people so much unanirnity and
enthusiasm prevails at this time among men
and boys, maids and matrons, upon the subject OF
the enforcement of jurisdiction over Santa Fe.-
No one can mistake the popular will in this case:
and he who stands manfully by our rights IN the
council or the camp, may be sure OF the lasting
friendship and gratitude OF all who respect the
Texan name and character.

committee, above alluded to, were adopted three

Guilty between an advance body Of California
emigrants and a marauding party Of Ihdians..-.
These depredations have been confined to the
valley of Vermillion river. On the 18th May,
they made an attack upon small train of Cali.
fornia emigraDts, and succeeded in running off
some thirty or forty head Of horses and mules.
A young Pottowaitamis Chief, named Wa.wa-
san, proposed to follow and rescue the stock.
He accordingly pursued, and in two days came
up with small party Of Pswnees, when .kir-
mish ensued, which resulted in victory to Wa.

On his person was found four white and nine

alteration, and which he had altered in no

Benton and the Freesoilers.

Mr.. Benton can deny any statement made in
regard to his position, when 1t suits his purpose
to do so-when be thinks denial will advance
bis selfish and ambitious purposes. He can de-
ny Mr.. Halls statement in regard to his opposi-
ton last Summer to the admission Of California,
and leave Mr.. Hall to prove it upon him, as he
has done by the testimony Of E. N. Samuel, esq.
He can deny the statements Of MIR. Green in re-
aton to his course in the settlement Of the boun-
dairy question between Missouri and Iowa, in
which he opposed his own State, and threw up
on MIR. Green the necessity Of exposing his
wicked falsehoods, as was done in his scorching
letter, published in this paper last week. But
when be is charged with being FressOiler, he
eunnot deny Il. He plays NUN, and leaves his
tOdiss-LNsk and Pr;es-to deny for him in Mis-
souri,, hoping by such course to gull our citi-
zens. Our readers ell know the extent Of the
excitement which the Freesoil question has pro.
duced in and out of Congress. It threatened
the very existence Of the Union, and brought to-

NOMINATION FOR CONGRESS.

It will be seen BY the proceedings in our pa
per to-day Of the Democratic Convention Of this
district, held at St. Charles on the 20th inst, that
John B. Henderson, Esq, has been nominated as
the candidate for Congress. We therefore place
his name at our mast head, and cheerfully recon-
mend him to the support of the Democrats ofthe
District. Mr.. Henderson is citizen Of Pike
county, which he represented in the last Legis-
lature with distinguished honor. He is young
10 years, but old in mental training. He pos
sesses brilliant talents and il deemed one Of the
most promising young men in the District. As
a Democrat he is sound to the core, ard jealous
in the advocacy of the principles Of his party.
Few men (if any) could have been selected by
the Convention, who would have given more
general satisfaction, or who would have receiv-
ed more cordial and unanimous support from
the whole party. He will make most able and
Efficient representative in Congress, and one Of
whom the Democracy of the District will be hon
estly proud. The estimation in which Mr.. Hen.
derson is held BY the people Of his county--those
who know him best--may be inferred from the
fact that he recently received the nomination fol
reelection to the Legislature. A man so es-
teemed BY his nsighbOrs and friends-pOsses'.
ing, as he does, unquestioned intellect and abili
ty-cannot but prove acceptable to his fellow.
citizens of the District.
Mr.. Henderson's nomination was made with
unexpected unanimity, and every delegate pres
ent cordially acquiescsd in the decision Of the
Convention, and pledged their counties to his
support. Previous to the Convention, he had
not been presented as candidate, but when,
after various ballotings, it was found difficult tc
select one of the several gentlemen put In NOM
ination, and his nams was brought forward as an
olive branch of peace, it was readily accepted,
and all parties rallied to his support.

the Delegates that the utmost good feeling
and harmony prevailed in the deliberations
of the Democratic convention at st. Charles
on the goth inst. We are the more rejoiced
at this, from the fact, that for some time
past our opponents had been pluming them
selves upon the expectation Of division
and distraction in its councils. But not
the slightest appearance Of discord was
and every delegate returned,
pleased and contentsd. The convention
adjourned without the slightest feeling OF

Like Two Twin Flowers In Summer
E--5 Bowers.
ASONG.
BY MRS. SARAH T. BOLTON.
Like two twin flowers in summer boweHs
They grew and bloomed together,
And friendship wove the chain oflove
In childhood's sunny weather.
They pledged their plight one summer night,
And words Of love were spoken;
The trembling sigh that sealed the tie
Was 0em'ry's only token.
He was her theme, her thought, her dream,
Her star, her hope, her giadness:
Men worldiy.wise philosophise,
But woman,s love Is madness.
With al The art that won her heart
He vowed he loved her only,
Then wood in pride lowered bride,
And left her sad and lonely.
With mind distraughs the maiden sought
The ill-starred dream to smother;
But hope had howB and left her lone
She never loved another.
He gave bis uzme to deathless fame
On blood-stained fields Of glory;
She faded; slept ia death unwept-
Unknown in song or story.
