American Meeting.

The American party of Hampstead
county convened at the Courthouse in
this place on Saturday last in respectable
numbers. A full report of the action of
the meeting will be found in our columns.
The spirit manifested at the meeting was
such as to show very plainly that the fire
is not all ''out of the flint yet by good
deal. and that the Americans of Hemp
stead intend to give good account of
themselves at the ballot-box in November

Fillmore on Slavery.

We have recently looked among our ex-
changes frequently for the following para
graph, but failed to find it. Southern
men who are disposed to cavil at Mr.
FILLMoRE's views in regard to the ';pe-
euliar institution and disparage his
claims to nationality and soundne5s upon
the great question of the dag, in compar-
ison with JAMES BUCHANAN, who thought
d" slavery great political and a great
moral evil, and thanked COP his lot had
been cast in a State where it did not ex-
ist, should keep this language continual
ly before their ''ninds' eye"
Mr FILLMORE, in 1858, while making
his Southern tour f" announced on the
''steps of the State House, in Montgone-
cry, Ala, THAT THE ANTI-SLAVE-
"RY PREJUDICES OF HIS EARLY
:" EDUCATION HAD BEEN OBLIT-
"ERATED BY WHAT HE HAD

Death of Col. J. B. Gilmer.
We have learned with deep regret

We have learned with deep regret the
untimely death of Col. JAMES B. GILMER,
late of Bossier parish, Louisiana He
died recently of yellow fever, near Trini-
dad, in the island of Cuba
In recording the death of this estima-
BILE gentleman, distinguished as he was
for his practical talent, his indomitable
energy and his public spirit, as well as for
his hospitality, and the warmth, sincerity
and devotedness of his personal attach
ments, we must add to the regret we feel
for his loss to the community of which
lie has been so long the most enterprising,
useful and honOred member, the sorrow of
a true and devoted personal friendship
We knew Col GILMER long and intimate
ly, and can say with truth that We have
known but few such men. Possessed OF
a sound and discriminating Judgment.
untiring industry and energy, and a warm
and liberal heart, his whole life exhibited
one succession of useful enterprises and
charitable actions In all the relations in
which we knew him he was affectionate,
kind, faithful. No man In his parish con-
tributed more liberally to the cause of ed
ucatlon-nOne more to its improvement.
The most beautiful portions of it bear the
impress Of his industry and perseverance,
and will long remain monuments Of his
public spirit and Of his energy of charac-
ter.
But he has been cut Of in the meridi-
an of iife-in the midst of his usefulness
and '' the places which knew him once
viii know him no more forever" To his
family-thOse whom he SO dearly loved
We tender the sympathy of heart ehas-
tened by affiiction, and assure them we
will lcng remember his manly virtues and
warm heart, and cherish with sincere
and devoted friendship, the memory of
him they have loved and lost. i.

Texas, Memphis Ell Paso & Pacific Rail
rnan

We have had the pleasure Of meeting du-
ring this week, in our village, Col. Travis
G.. Wright, President of the Texas, Mem
phis, Ell Paso K Pacific Railroad We learn
from him, that the object of his tour is the
employment of an engineer, to survey the
route to the contemplated point of juno
ture between the Galveston and Red Ri
yer Railroad, and the Southern Pacific
Road, formerly known, as the Texas Nes-
tern Railway Company. This survey will
extend westwardly from Fulton, through
Texas, terminating for the present, at some
point between the waters of the Trinity
and the Brazos Rivers. This, it is sup
posed, Will accelerate the work of affording
an outlet by way of Railroad, to the pro-
duce of our sister State, and eventually Sc
cure North Eastern and Southern port
of entry-so to speak. 1t is also suppos-
cd, that at the same place, not far from the
termination of the above survey, there will
ultimately be a juncture between the Sou
thern Pacific Road and T., NJ, FL P. and
p. r. r. The latter company has been
fully organized, as our readers doubtless
are aware from reference to the interesting
article republished in our issue of the Sd
inst, from the Lamar Enquirer. Books
have opened, and stock to the amount of
$500, 900 taken
We had the pleasure at the same time,
of meeting Mr. S. H. Morgan, of Clarks-
vile. We learned In a conversation with
him, that the Texas people are looking
with much interest and anxiety to the sue
cessful prosecution of the Mississippi, Gu
achita and Red River Road. Speed the

endOn, with the counter propositions OF
Mr.. Dallas, are submitted in these di>patah-
es, and immediate action by our govern
ment requested thereon My information
warrants my saying, that the question of
settlement is looked upon by our govern
ment now as fixed fact, and that Mr.
Dallas will be further instructed to close
accounts on the Central American ques-
ton with the British government Ilearn
these particulars from reliable source,
but have not been able TO get hold of the
details as agreed upon"
And we find in the Baltimore .Sun, of
August 30th, that
s'The rumor which prevailed in Eng
land when the Africa sailed, that the Hon.
RObt. Lowe was sent to this country with
powers as Commissioner to settle the Cen
tral American question, is no doubt erro-
neous. Mr. Lowe has been in New York
several days, and has not assumed to have
any diplomatic mission. The Secretary
of State had heard nothing upon the sub
ject except the newspaper rumor
"But the pending questions are about
to be settled without the necessity Of a ne
gOtlatiOn here. Mr. Dallas communica-
tions upon the subject are very satisfacto-
ry to this government, and such action
has been taken upon them as will ensure
a speedy and favorable adjustment of this
complicated and irritating affair.
The government of France rendered
its mediation in this matter, but it is un-
derstood that Mr. Dallas signifed to Lord
Clarendon that it was unnecessary"

Gen. Jackson's Estimate of Buchanan.

The old Hero of the Hermitage held
BUCHANAN in very poor reputc- Wit
ness the following extract from letter
from General JACKSON, relative to the
bargain and corruption business, the au-
thenticity of which letter it is useless to
deny, as VIC will prove by testimony in our
next:
'sYour observations with regard to Mr.
Buchanan are correct He showed a
want of moral courage in the affair of the
intrigue of Adams and Clay-did not do
me justice in the expose he then made,
and | am sure, about that time did believe
there was perfect understanding between
Adams and Clay about the Presidency
and the Secretary of State. This I am
sure of. But whether he viewed that
there was any corruption in the case or
not, [ know not, but one thing do know,
that he wished me to combat them with
their own weapons-that was, let my
friends say if was elected would make
Mr. Clay my Secretary of State. This, to
me, appeared deep corruption, and | re-
PEELED it with that honest indignation
which | thought it deserved
And further-when General J JACKSON S
protege, Mr.. POLK, was making up his
Cabinet, he wrote to General ARMSTRONG
relative to the matter, and, says the Mem
phis Eagle & Enquirer, In writing, thus
boldly expressed himself respecting the
ever-changing Squatter Sovereignty can
didate, Buchanan:
II can't help it, (Polk's determination
to appoint Buchanan his Secretary of
State.) l felt it my duty to warn him
against Buchanan, whether it was agreea-
bic or not. Mr.. Polk will find Mr.. Bu-
chanan an unreliable man. l know him
well and Mr.. Polk will yet admit the cor
rectncss of my position ;,
ANDREW JACKSON.
The old General, without doubt, found
him an unreliable man, and not only SO
expressed himself to Gen. Armstrong, bat
also to Major Lewis, saying in substance.
''He lacked moral courage, did not do me
justice in the bargain and corruption affair
wanted me to fight Adams and Clay
with their own weapons, but looking on
this corruption, l repelled itwith that hon.
est indignation which l thought it deserv-
ed"

A Correction.

Under the head of drought in Ar
Kansas the New Orleans Commercial
Bulletin, of the 4th inst, says
''The Washington (Ark's) Telegraph
says that the sand in that town is eight to
twelve inches deep, that everything ami
mate and inanimate is sending up petitions
for rain''
So we did say, but our contemporary
must understand that it was only our olo-
rious little town that was in such bad
way for rain We xegetate here right on
top OF sand-hill, and when our streets
are dry and dusty to an uncomfortable
extent, the crops on the fertile lands all
around us are doing very WELL See our

An immense mass meeting of the Amer
lean party was lately held in Mobile, rati-
Tying the nomination of Fillmore and Don
elson. In Alabama, as every where else,
the tide IS rising. The following resolu-
tion was adopted:
Resotced, That we hail with satisfaction
the recent action of the U. S. Senate over
ruling the doctrine of Squatter Sovereign
ty and adopting the Adams amendment to
the Kansas bill, annulling the provision in
the previous bill, authorising foreign i'm
migrants to vote in the Territory before
they are naturalized citizens of the United
States-and we congratulate the American
party and the country upon this triumph
in an opposition Senate, of a cherished
American principle r-

s@ TIE RIvER.-Since our last, Red
River has taken another start in the way
of a rise, and is now about eighteen or TWEEN
tY feet above low water mark. We
learn from friend just from Fulton, that
boats are expected up this week. Whe-
ther they come or not, there is no doubt
but that the present rise will make great
and beneficial difference in the navigation
between Shreveport and Alexandra.

Annual Cotton Statement.

we are indebted to AIr. ENEAs SMITH
Tor New Orleans Price Current, con-
tanning the annual cotton statement.-
FROM 1t we learn that the total receipts of
cotton at New Orleans, from the Ist of
September, 1855, to the 1st instant. was
one million seven hundred and ffty-nine
thousand two hundred and ninety-three
bales from all sources, being an increase
of four hundred and forty-fve thousand
seven hundred and ninety-seyen bales over
the previous year
HE receipts at all the Atlantic and
Gulf ports, up to the latest dates received,
are 3 ,492 ,65S bales; the actual crop of
last year IS estimated at not far from g.
$4,000 bales-an increase of 672, ,66I

An Eloquent Tribute to Millard Fillmore
from Political Enemy.

An Eloquent Tr10use TO MllarI E1umoro
from Political Enemy.
Says the New Orleans Commercial
BukLetin-
"Mr. WARD, the President of the late
Cincinnati Convention, when welcoming,
as Mayor of Savannah, Mr.. FILLMORE in
1854, addressed him In a most euloglstlc
strain. After alluding to his administra-
tion as an eveutful period in the history
of our Government, when dark and fear
full clouds hung in the horizon, he proceed
&C."
cit was your lot to breast that storm,
and bid its mutterings cease, and to do
that you must turn away from the crowds
of fatterers to tread the lonely path of
duty. With your robes of Office as pam
eply Office, you wrapped yourself from all
the prejudices of earlier years, and from
all the temptations which then surrounded
you ''UnterriGed by threats, unawed by
clamors, you held in your steady course"
preserved the Constitution of your coun-
try, gave peace to to the land we love, and
repose to the institutions which we cher
ish, illustrating to the world that 'peace
hath It's victories no less renowned than
war" 1t is fit and proper, now when you
have laid aside place and power and pat
ronage, that the affections of a grateful peo-
pie should follow you to your home and
linger around your retirement As the
constituted authorities of the city of. Sa-
vanah, we welcome you within her limits
-as the representatives of the people, we
welcome you to our hospitalities-as a
portion of her citizens, we welcome you
to our homes and our hearts"
We have but seldom read more elO
quent apostrophe to a great man, and
surely such tribute never was more worth
lily paid. 1t is strange indeed that men,
who, in hours of calmness and rejection,
could utter such language and endorse it
for the whole Democratic party of the
nation, through It's public men and most
influential papers, endorsed this tribute
to WILLARD FILLMoRE-can now turn
about, forgetting his past services, bril-
liant, priceless as they were, and let loose
vile political hatred
VIII not the American people, to whom
the Almighty, in the hour of danger ano
distress, raised up friend in the person
Of MILLARD FILLMoRE, rally around his
standard, and pronounce the worthily won
need Of '' Well done, good and faithful
servant? % We believe they will. From
the hardy North, the fruitful West, the
teeming South, the thriving East, the
voice Of the people is coming up. It is
borne to us On every breeze and echoeC
in the ripple of every stream. 1t speak:
of the undiminished confidence of th,
people in our glorious chief, and pre- sage
a glorious triumph for him, for the Union
the Constitution, the cause of the Ameri
can people, the safety, the welfare Of these
States
Washington telegraph., 1856-09-17

sgTHE CRoPs.-From friend we
learn that the boil worm which we sp ke
of in our issue of the 3rd inst, as doing
some damage to the cotton, has ceased its
ravages, and the prospect is, that more
than an average crop will be made on the
black and bottom lands. On some plan
tations good hands are picking out over
two hundred pounds each. On the sandy
lands we regret to say, the cotton crop will
not BE so good As a general thing
however, all promises well for peace and
plenty in this neck Of woods.

"Ycrk's Tall Son.

We have received letter from VIM.
T. PORTER, formerly editor of the New
York Spirit Of the Times, in which he
says:
.'On the strength of an editorial career
of twenty-six years, as founder and editor
of the IN Y. Spirit Of the Times" l
shall venture to issue, in the first week OF
September, 1856, a weekly Sporting and
Literary newspaper, to be called ''Porter' S
Spirit of the Times" 1t will be of the
same size and character as the old paper,
and l am proud to be able to say, 1 al
ready have assurances it will be contribu-
ted to by that brilliant circle of correspon-
dents and writer's who have SO long given
to the Spirit its distinguished position
among the literary journals of the United
States"
We hope the people viii give Mr.. PoR-
TER good evidence, that his past services
have been appreciated, and swell his sub
scription list to a proper size Let every
subscriber to the old ''Spirit" make glad
the ''spirit' OF the editor of the new.
