that a schooner would leave New Orleans
about the 17th, for Nicaragua, with two hun.

MANUFACTURES IN THE PgsITENriARy.-
While in Austin, we saw in Mr.. Swenson's
store sample Of goods manufactured in the
Penitentiary, and lately sent to the Governor
for inspection. by himself and the public
There are but two descriptions Of these goods.
one composed OF cotton and wool called Linsey,
and the other cotton alone, or Lowels. Both
are much heavier and frmer shan the same
description Of goods brought from the North.
They are designed for negro clothing and We
have no doubt, they will wear nearly twice as
long as the common articles in market under
the same name. We did not learn any partic-
ulars as TO TO the price at which these goods
will be sold, or the amount that will be manu-
lactured. Mr.. Swenson informed us that Lin.
seys of such quality, would be worth, at the
North, about % l-2 cents per yard, and Low.
Z. Is OF a like quality, about 8 or 10 cents. He
believes the true policy Of the State Is 10 Tx n
moderate price upon these goods, and have
them sold on small commission, at those prices
in different parts of the State, so that the peo-
pie may have the benefit Of the Penitentiary
which belongs to ,hem and is supported by
them. The wool and cotton in yard Of the
Linsey costs about 10 cents, and the cotton in
yard of Lowels costs about cents and as
the labor really costs nothing, the State would
make handsome profit at 25 cents for the
former and 10 cents for the latter, though Mr.
Swenson says, they would commad considera:
bly, more, il sold on private account.--Galres-

addressed to the Wing State Central Committed

in the presidential canvass, is published Mr. Choate
has been lifelong whig Of the national men who
have long been identified with that party, he is now
the noblcst Roman of them all. The suboined is the
closing paragraph of his letter:
As between them shall not venture to
counsel the wings of Maine, but deem it due
to frankress and honor 20 say that while the
Americans entertain a high Appreciation the
character and ability of Mr. Fillmore, do not
svmpaihize in any degree with the objects and
creed Of the particular party that nominated
him, and do not approve of eithc' their organ
zation and their tacstks. Practically, too, the
contest in my Judgment is between Mr. Buc-
hanan and Col. Fremont. In these circum-
stance vote for Mr. Buchanan. He has large
experience in public affairs his commanding
capacity is universally acknowledged his lie
is without stain. | am constrained TO add
that he seems at this moment, by theioccur-
rences Of circumstances, more completely than
any other, to represent that sentiment of na-
ionalify-tolerant, warm and comprehensive
without which, without increase of which,
America is no longer America; and 10 possess
the power and trust the disposition to restore
and keep that peace, within our borders and
without, for which our hearts all yearn,
which all our interests demand, through which
and which alone we may hops 10 grow TO the

Buchanan has ranked among the ablest states
men in the United States. This position has
been awarded to him even by his political op-
ponents. In 1913. Daniel Webster made

election of General Taylor. Ia commencing
it, he said:
"Gentlemen, saw this morning speech
delivered lately in Washington by the present
Secretary of State, Mr. Buchanan, a gentleman
,cbo is among the first, If not the rery first, o f
his party, IN point Of character and staadiug,
IN the country. Differing from most of the
