Talk Oh 'Change.

On the streets yesterday there symptoms of
the usual falling off at this of the year. though
the usual congregations at this that and the other
corners took place, but it observable that many
transient residents and visitors had departed to meet
the snow and ice of the hyperborean regions Of
course every one knows that the weather spring
like, though and then cool blast of wind would
up Canal street from the lake shore though it
was from the North Pole We are gratifed to learn
that the recent cold weather has not materially in
ured the sugar plant. As for cotton and corn there
is ample time to repant, though an early and good
stand is of the highest importance towards favorable
results for a heavy yield.
There is good business doing on the levee in the
vicinity Of the upper steamboat landing, though not
so large last month There cannot be any causes
for complaint. The receipts of flour, wheat, pork
and lard continue largely in excess of last year. In
and oats there is decline, but it may be made
up when the West opens its granaries in earnest on
the full resumption of navigation, which is close at
hand.
We alluded some time since to the near completion
of the Memphis and Charleston railroad and of the
advantages to result to the city through its great
trace and extensive commercial connections with
Memphis This railroad has been often considered on
change and other places The first fruits of its open
ing are noted in the following remarks from late
Memphis paper. which says:
Walker, Nelson Il Co., on yesterday sold the first
shipment of cotton from Alabama, received by them
per Memphis and Charleston railroad Saturday even
ing. Eight bales from VIM. Dickson, ESQ., Blizzard
Roos chasing Strict Middlng sold for l3bc., and 16
bales from the estate of A. Barton chasing Middng
Fair at l4c. per h. Messrs. l. N. Henke q Co. were
the purchasers.
The same paper says, in this connection we would
also add to the credit of Messrs Walker, Nelson &
Co., that at Messrs. F. H. Clark & Co.'s store
a magnificent silver goblet, gotten up in their best
style, intended for presentation to Mr.. Dickson,
premium for his enterprise, in sending forward to
this market the first cotton from Alabama. 1t is
beautifully and appropriately inscribed as follows

IMPORTANT VERDICT TO RAILROAD COMPANIES
We learn from the Columbus (Ga) Enquirer, that at
the April term OF the Superior Court of Taylor coun
ty, now in session, of public interest has been
tried involving the liability of railroads for damages,
in neglgently killing passenger. In December, 1856
Uriah Paulk u, worthy citizen of Alabama, killed
by collision between two passenger trains upon the
Southwestern Railroad, near Flint river, in Taylor
county. An action for damages under the Act of
1850 was brought against the company by the legal
representatives of Mr.. Paulk and the trial at common
law came off this week and resulted in verdict for
the plaintiff of $4,000 damages. We learn the de-
fendant has taken an appeal to special jury.

WITHDRAWAL OF MINNESOTA RAILROAD LANDS
The land officers in Minnesota, have been directed
to continue the withdrawal of lands falling within the
probable line of the railroad routes established under
grants of Congress. Presumption claims based upon
actual settlement and not for speculation made up to
the time when the lines Or routes were definitely
fixed any of the lands Withdrawn, will be allowed,
provided the testimony is clear and explicit. The
officers of the newly created Land Districts will be
established at Brownsville, at Dakotah and Nebraska

The SEMINOLE WAR.--The spring campaign is
now fairly open. If the Semnoles not subdued
before the close we have falsely estimated their
powers of endurance.
Companies or detachments of regular soldiers are
exploring the Indian country. Here and there is dis
covered trail but yet they have not succeeded in
etecting anything of note that the Indians are
kept on the alert evade them and per consequence
are being weakened daily. . I..
On the 10th inst. the volunteer force is to COM
mence simultaneous movement, each company hav-
ing a defined section of country to scout, furnished
with wagons and supplies for about thirty days. This
scout will cover a that section of country between
the line of posts established for frontier protection
and Lake Okeecehobee-the lstaposa country, the
kissimmee, the coast, etc.
Never, in the history of Florida war No. ., has so
many troops been employed in scouting at one time
and great hope is entertained that the foe will be fer
reted out and captured so harassed as to surren
der and remove to the WeSt-
Our confidence in General Harney's ability to ae-
complish the work of Seminole extirpation is not
shaken but on the contrary, interviewed with every
DAVIS observation. He has gone at the Hercuean
task in manner that convnces us that he will mas.
ter it, The systematic mode of scouting adopted by
him has long been looked to the only way in which
the Indians be forced to terms. If they kept
continuously on the move, they will have little time
to accumulate the subsistence necessary to maintain
robust health, and, mark our word, whenever they
are reduced to such Strengthened circumstances the
long.cherished object of the Government will be
complished and Florida rid OF this deleterious pop
ulation. ..-..-. -
Ii the war is to be conducted to its end by General
Harvey the last red-skin will be out of the State be-
fore another year rolls round.
As to the delegation, of which we have before
spoken, nothing definite is known. Congress appro-
priated $4,000 to deiray its expenses, but they
have not yet arrived it is probable they will effect
little during the present campaign.

Later from Texas.

By the arrival at Berwicks Bay, YESTERDAY, Of the
steamer Galveston from Galveston, we have papers
from that city to Monday. The Civilian says Of the
Mexican Gulf and Henderson Railroad
The survey of this road has been completed for most
of the route, commencing at permanent tide-water
navigation on Pine Island bayou, about nine miles
above Beaumont. At this time twenty-five hands are
at work grading the first section, and Mr. b. T. Marsh,
the Chief Engineer, went to New Orleans yesterday
for hundred and twenty five more. By the amend
ed charter of August 9th, 1856 they are requedto
complete twenty-five miles by the 18th November,
1857 and understand their arrangements are made
to do so. The President of the Railroad Associa-
tion, in New York is interested in this enterprise,
and is determined to carry it through as we are cred
IDLY informed. From the terminus there is good nav
igation to Galveston, so by river and sixty miles by
the Gulf, from Sabine The route passes through
one Of the best timbered and farming regions Of the
South. m
The San Antonio Herald says that, in that region,
notwithstanding the dry weather, corn is looking
quite we'll. The chief injury worked by the drouth
is that it prevents farmers from securing their stands
where the late frost has compelled repantng. Corn
that is up would not suffer so much. 2 l4e1l,
The Nacogdoches Cronicle of April 7th, says
We were visited by severe norther on Sunday and
hard freeze on Sunday night Eqery young green
thing out was killed, and some that wasn't out. The
growing corn crop was nearly all done for.
j. r. Simms writes to the Austin Intellgencer from
Round Rock, Williamson county, under date of March
3Oth, to the effect that there number of families
that have not had morsel of bread for weeks, and
don't know when they will get any as they have
spent the last red cent months ago. To use COM
mon phrase of the country they have stayed until they
are too poor to leave. z s5445g%9 8, ~
He calls upon the Governor and the liberal people
| of the State for relief. s AR g.r
The Houston Telegraph of the 10th inst. has the
following paragraphs .a ~
Corn is not supposed to be injured by last Mondays
frost. In most places where it was replanted it was
| nminr nm. and although cut down will sDrOJlt
again. We have accounts yet from any portion Of
the wheat regions. 1t is much feared that the wheat
had become jonted, in which event frost is ruinous
to it. We hope for the best. J5 ,s-s s5 III
Between four and five miles of the second section
of the Central Road are completed, and the work o
laying the iron is being carried on with despatch
We expect before the first of May to ride out to the
So mile station in the cars. The next Is miles will
probably be ready for the cars in July or August
Some nnanticipated delay has been experienced in
securing the loan from the State.

WALKER AND THE RIGHT OF TRANs1T.-The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
writes, under date of the Sth: .-s ..-5.tfa.r
If the victories of Walker should prove to be sub
stantial, and peace concluded between him (as the
ruler of Nicaragua) and his allied enemies, diplomatic
relations with that state will be restored This will
be the more desirable if the Central American treaty
between the United States and Great Britain should
be concluded, as it no doubt will be, by the rat
ficaton of the British government
Great Britain and the United States will both be
eager to obtain from the government of Nicaragua
an assent to the terms of the treaty, and also the
right of free transit the lsthmus for their ct
zens and their property. Under the treaty with the
former government we have this right; but it GER
tainly has been enforced and the transit has been
occluded to all nations state of things by the way,
which ought not to be permitted N
