Sailing Directions for the Coatzacoalcos River
Sailing vessels, bound for the Coatzacoacos ought
to make the land to the eastward. This precau-
ton is necessary account of the prevailing trade
winds, which cause strong westerly current ;

sea. room. The entrance to the river may be
known by the Vigia, or tower, situated upon the
western side likewise from the sand-clfs extend
ing from that point to the westward.
The best mark for crossing the bar is to bring
the toner to bear s. w. by compass
Having passed the bar, haul up to the eastward of
south, and steer in midway, between the two
points that form the entrance to the river. The
wind, after crossing the bar, often falls to calm
for this reason it is necessary to have an anchor
ready to let go, as the current the ebb, even in
the dry season, sets out strong.
The extent of the bar, east and west, is about
two hundred twenty fathoms, and the width, by
actual measurement, one hundred and eight feet
The bottom, composed of sand and clay, is hard !;

LATEST VIEws FROM WAsHINeToN--" Ion,"
the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, has this interesting letter on the 4th insts
Advices, public and private, were received here
Yesterday, which render it probable that some DOR.
lion Of the Cuban invaders have actually sailed.
We NAV have some account of the fact Tomorrow
It appears, from accounts just received, that the
expeditions Of the invaders are as wild as their pro-
ject is desperate All that they ask for is to be able
10 land two thousand troops, which they think they
can do, if not intercepted by the navy of the United
States and there the whole Creole population will,
as they say, rally in support of their revolutionary
| standard.
The Spanish army, if not already corrupted, is to
be Immediately brought, by promises of booty, and
of revenge against their arbitrary officers into the
support Of the revolutionary movement. Let us,
| ,bey saw. strike one blow-show one vctory-and
we shall rally around our standard nine-tenths of
the Cuban population, and of the Spanish army |;
and then nothing can prevent vast influx of
American volunteers from every part of the United
States, to whom fighting is familiar and agreeable,
and with whom love Of gain is predominant
passion.
Nothing of this kind can be deemed wonderful
| under present circumstances. When such things
begin, il is not easy to foresee their end.

Southern standard. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 1851-1856, 1851-10-04

Weclip the following able article from the South
ern Standard, published at Columbus in this State.
The Standard has done good work for the good
cause, and we believe this to be one of its most
able and truthful articles. Nothing can be more
true than the people by electing Foote endorse his
course in the Senate and condemn that of Col.
Davis, or by electing Col. Davis approve his course
and condemn that Of Foote. Though the late e.
lection has decided that Mississippi will Submit to
the compromise, cannot believe that the people
of Mississippi are ready to say that they endorse
the course of Foote and condemn that of Col. Da-
Wis Even the Uuion conventions, nearly all, pas
sed resolutions declaring that they did not fully
approve of all the Compromise measures, but they
thought it preferable to submit to them, even to
farther agitating the question. Well, Davis op-
posed those measures and stood up for the South
will Mississippi say that she does not approve of
his course? Will she condemn an honest and
faithful servant for doing his duty We cannot
believe it Vicksburg Sentinel

majority of Congress, with the approval of the
President, can pass any law which their decision
may dictate, and that there is no other remedy
than by appeal to the Supreme Court, is to make
the federal government ''the ex lusive final
judge of the extent Of power delegated to itself !"
TO this it would be only necessary to add the pow
or to coerce the States and consolidation would be
complete-the government of our fathers would
no longer exist, save q memory and name
II is in the nature of things that the South being
the minority, should resist such tendency and this
has been our history. 1t is 10 longer, however,
within the power of their representatives in Con-
gress to check it, and reliance must be had upon
the States, which Mr. Madison said formed our Sc
surity against projects of usurpation by the feder
al government, and to which Mr.. Jefferson looked
for the preservation of the Constitution, when he
claimed for them the right to Judge as well of in
fractions of the mode and measure of redress
Your representatives can do but little more than
serve as faithful sentinels to warf you of approach
ing danger. The rest must be left where have
always proposed to leave it, to the decision OF the
State
The Convention of the State which will assem-
bic in November, and the subsequent action OF the
people upon its proceedings, will fully determine
the position of the State on It's Federal relations.
AS candidate for Governor, | have, therefore,
only to present my views the domestic policy
of Mississippi.
am in favor of promoting education in the
State, and for this purpose, of taking all the ne
cessary means to render the land held for the BEN
eft of Colleges and township schools efficient for
the purposes to which they are dedicated; of en-
couragng by all proper means, the establishment
of manufactures within the State, and the delop-
Inent-of those resources with which nature has so
richly endowed it; of making the grant of the
swamp and overfiowed lands available TO prevent
the inundation of the country between the Iazoo
and Mississippi rivers and for the improvement
of the navigabe streams within the State; promo%
ting the construction of railroads wherever they
can be made by the voluntary contributions of the
people, with such aid as the Staten afford, by
the exercise of its legislative power without re-
sorting TO taxation. BY such improvements much
land in the State which is now Of little value, be-
cause of its remoteness from market, would be
brought into profitable cultivation, increasing, at
the same time, the revenue and power of the State
whilst it added to the comfort and prosperity of
the people.
For a just exposition of the popular will, and
for full information as to the wants of every dis
trict should, if elected look to your immediate
representatives. the legislature of the State, and
as in every position have held, for and from the
people, would regard the power conferred as a
trust held for them, and their will, only of mi
nor importance to the obligations Of the Constitu-
ton. and my own conscience.
