Il immigration is flowing in upon US. Planters with
large teams, carriages and all the paraphernalia of
wealth others with smaller forces, down to the OK
team, with q half dozen or more rosy checked chill
dren, peeping from the wagon covers, pass daily
through Marshall seeking new homes in this land Of
promise.
The Republican adds:
The period is not far distant when Texas will be to
the South what New York is to the North, colossal
State with countless wealth. Such we desire to see
her. and hence we never wish to see the State divided

Authentic Account of the Cawnpore Mas
- sacre. 57
The London Times has long account, occupying
several columns, of the massacre at Cawnpore, from
an officer of the commssariat department The fol-
lowing are given by the officer furnishing the report
as the particulars of the massacre:
Just after the defeat at Futtehpore of the rebels
few spies whether real imaginary it is not KNOWN
were brought to the Nena being the bearers of let
tiers supposed to have been written to the British by
the helpless women in the prison. and with it some Of
believed to be implicated. Il was therefore agreed
that the said Spies together with all the and
children, also the few gentlemen whose lives had
been spared, (sad to be six in number out of
teen officers who had been captured about the 10th
18th Of July, on their way by water from Futteghur
to this, and whose deaths were also delayed under
promise of ransom,) should all be put to DEATH and
that the Baboos Of the city and every person who
could read or write English should have their right
hands and noses cut Off The first order was carried
out Immediately lie. on the evening of the 18th OF
July, and decree was issued to apprehend the ma.
tives Baboos ETC., after the Nenas return from the
field of battle, where he proceeded, as described
above, on the 18th Of july after causing the murder
on the 18th of the English prisoners.
The native spies were first put to the sword, and
after them the gentlemen, who brought out from
the outbnildngs in which they were confined and shot
with bullets next the poor ladies were ordered out
them to do 80. They laid hold Of each other by
DOZENS and chung close that it was impossible tc
separate or drag them out of the building. The
troopers therefore, brought muskets and after firing
great many SnOLS from Cne doors, WINDOWS, eCc.
rushed in with swords and bayonets. Some of the
helpless creatures in their agony fell down at the feet
Of their murderers casped their legs, and begged il
the most ptful manner to spare their lives but to
purpose. The fearful deed was done most deliber
ately and completely in the midst of the most dread
full shrieks and cries of the victims.
There were between one hundred and forty and one
hundred and fifty souls, including children and from
little before sunset till candleght occupied ir
completing the dreadful deed The doors of the build
ings then locked for the night and the murder
ers went to their homes Next morning it was found
on opening the doors, that some ten or fifteen women
with few of the children, had managed to escap,
from death by falling and hiding under the murdered
bodies Of their fellow:prsoners. Fresh order wa
therefore sent to murder them also but the survivors
not being able to bear the idea of being cut down
rushed out into the compound, and seeing wei
there threw themselves into it without hesitation
thus putting period to lives which it was impossible
for them to The dead bodies of those murdered
on the preceding evening were then ordered to b.
thrown in the well, and "jullads'' were employ
ed to drag them away like dogs ..a
1t is horrible to recount further this subject. o.
the night of the 10th of July the station was deserted
by the rebels stated above, and early next morn
ing the English troops took possession Of it, but no
before the wretches had set fire to and blown up tn
magazine, which was done by the last guard left b.
