THE CITY OF CHARLESTON.

The Charleston Mercury will find but little
comfort in the following strong views of the
Huntsville (Ala.) Advocate:
Gin article upon the present prosperous ard grow
ing state of Charleston in trade and population the
News Significantly calculates, God grant that nothing
may transpre to shake the confidence of the capitalist
or bring upon Char lesion again that political panic
which held her destinies for years stationary
The Notification nonsense put the city many years be-
hind the progress of her competitors and she is now
just recovering from the fatal effects OF that folly of her
her citizens look with great
disavor upon the Secession schemes OF the Soured
Arstocrals and politicians of:he State. Three. fourths
the people of Charleston are opposed to Secession
fhe city pays half no two thirds of the State taxes.
and three dollars sold to country merchants out of
the State to of those in it, With bright future be-
fore her-tade and population rapidly increasing with
regions out OF the Statewide she Just taking a new
bound forward in the prosperity citizens are
naturally averse TO seeing their large and furnishing
city ruined by Secession. And should the State be so
stepped in folly to secede from the Union the city
OF Charleston will secede from the State"
The Mercuryitself seems to be fully aware that
the Charlesonians are opposed to secession, for it
says:
"We amazed at the opposition especially of the
merchants OF Charleston, to OF all classes
OF the people OF South Carolina, they will be most and
most certainly benefited by it. The wrelched hraldom
which has so long ettered the commerce of Charleston
and made her merchants little better than mere agents
OF Northern capitalists, will be thrown off They will
be as prosperous as our commerce is free"

LATER FROM TEXAS

By the arrival yesterday afternoon of the steamship
Mexico we have received our files of Galveston papers
TO the 30th ult.
We learn that the crops throughout the most part Of
Texas remarkably hourishing. The growth of the
cotton crop, during the past few weeks has been really
astonishing.
The Galveston News criticises COL Howard's sueecb
at San Antonio very severely.
We learn from the San Antonio Ledger that the
Mexican Boundary Commission still at Ell Paso
and vicinity The starting point of the survey had been
fixed upon the Rio Gfande, about twenty five miles be-
low Dona Ana.
Lynch law was prevailing at Ell Paso TO fearful ex
tent. Within two weeks fifteen persons, Americans
and Mexcans had suffered by hanging and shooting at
the hands of the seli-consuted jurors. For the most
trivia offence, and without time for explanation the
unfortunate being would be shot down or hung up to
the limb of tree, at the beck nod of any one OF the
Committee OF Safety, without even the formalities of a
trial.
We are inclined to think that there must have been
some justification for these summary proceedings il
thew really occurred
The San Antonio papers say that there has been So.
rous difficulty between the Kkapoos and the Mexican
troops of the Mexican colonies on the Rio Grande.-
The troops were obliged to call out the citizens to aid
them.
Major Borand was at Fort Iuge the 2lst inst, on
his way to Eagle Pass.
The Large, trains are progressing prosperously. The
grass is good.
We learn from the Ledgerthat some Indians, during
the last wintex while engaged in bear hunt, set the
world on fire. They ran bear into cave and at.
tempted to smoke him out. They soon observed The
smoke rising from assures in the mountain for the dis
lance OF half mile. Thswas in the mountains above
Fredericksburg Superstition added terrors to the
scene, and the Indians to the settlements to pro.
cure assistance to extinguish the flames They feared
that the prince OF the internal regions was about to
come FORTH robed in liquid fire. to consume their hunt
ing grounds They say the smoke has an un earthly
smell. 1t IS supposed that the fire was Communicated
to bed OF coal, and it may yet give Texas voca-
no. i. is said that Americans have confirmed the In
dian account of the fire.
r, Wild Cat, instead Of being dead As reported, is at
