PRoOF THAT THE Moon is NOT IyHAsIrrn

given Of some recent observations made with
The Earl of Rosse's telescope, says;
With reopect to the moon, every object on
its surface of 100 feet was now distinctly to
be seen; and he had no doubt that, under
very favorable circumstances, it would be so
with objects go feet in height. On its sur.
face were craters of extinct volcanoes, rocks
aud masses of stones almost innumerable.-
lie had no doubt that if such Il building ns
he was then in We're upon the surface of tbe

by these instruments. But there were no
signs of habitations such rs ours--no yesti-

mortals similar to ourselves. 1t presented
no appearance which could lead to the SUP.

FACTS IN REGARD TO THE TEXAS
ELECTIONS.

Most of our readers, says the New Orleans
Creole, will recollect the Hon. John A. vii.
cox, Of Mississippi, for considerable period
u representative of that State in the Congress
of the United States. Mr.. Wilcox, now n
resident of Texas, writes as follows to n friend
on the subject of the late elections in that
State. Our readers will observe the positive
proof thus afforded of our oft-repeated asser-
ton that the South is compelled to resist the
present naturalization laws if she would pre-
serve the power at home to maintain her own
institutions against the interference of for
eigners who are forming party within her
very bosom, hostile to her interests. He
writes
"Ihere are about ten thousand foreign vo.
ters in this State, and us far as has been heard
from, they have been a unit. conscientious.
ly believe that the American party did not
receive fifty foreign votes. I cannot, at pre-.
sent, give you the result in this State. We
will. however, be beaten, think, some two
or three thousand votes.
"You will then discover that Texas is com.
pletely under the control of foreigners, nine
out Of ten of whom are abolitonists. In this
place there is published German Abolition
paper, and Northern Abolition societies have
established agencies here, to whom they send
by mail the New York Tribune, and other
abolition sheets, for gratuitous circulation.
have been informed that one ,gency receives
five thousand copies. Now, sure it is to me
that if the people of the extreme Southern
States would think for n moment they must
conclude that this ia an artful stroke of the
Abolitionists to make free State in Western
Texas, and thereby hem into n compass MS
narrow as possible the slave power. Since
my arrival here the Germans held large
convention in which they declared in favor of
the Abolition of Juries-of oaths in Courts of
Justice--of the Sabbath, and of Slavery.
"On the day Of the election here, the Ger
mans paradcd their Flag Gnstead of the Ma
tonaD through the streets. They marched
in procession through the city chanting Ger.
man national airs. The French singing the
MarseIls hymn. I never felt so mortified
and chagrired in the whole course of my life.
Yet it is said we have nothing to fear from
German influence! The Catholic Priests
took the field openly against the American
party, and threatened temporal, eternal and
spiritual damna,ior to him who voted the
American ticket; 50 We did not receive one
Catholic vote"

widow and orphan, and even watching over
the magistrates to see that justice is meted to
the rich and poor alike.
"Now, Yani, learned that he had been i'm
plirated in the robbery, and fully equipped,
paid the lady n visit. Trembling, the poor
woman begged him to leave her the little that

WoSDERFUL SPRIYG.--A correspondent

Nation, mentions the discovery OF wonder
fu spring, whose medical properties are tru-
ly Miraculous. Who knows but this is the

Its waters are said to heal all cutaneous

That it is really valuable medical spring,
is sufficiently established from the fact that

minutes, will become perfectly black. |
