sR The Legislature of Texas has made
an appropriation of $4,000 to help to whip
the North-in another southern Convention
We have seen a child fly into passion, and
stamp upon the stone with winch he mashed
his finger; and if men are but children of n
larger growth, why should not the Texas
Legislators make war upon their own folly
when they find Kansas, their paything, top
pling over and hurting their toes. For our
own part, We think il time that southern
buster about disunion and resistance TO the
North should be treated with the contempt it
merits. Let the locofocos who are continual
ly threatening disunion, show that they have
had no agency in bringing about sectional
discord-that it is purely the result of north.
ern aggression, and then we will go with
them in any measure of resistance. But they
are guilty of aiding and abetting every move
ment that has worked mischief to the Sonth
they have done it knowingly and wilfully,
ard deserve the execration, rather than the
sympathy, of every southern friend of the
Union. We despise their toadyism TO the
northern rabble, as mucha us we condemn their
cry Of dsunlon, and until they prove true to
the South, by ceasing to pander to the North,
for party ends, their threats of dsunion-
hollow, as they are, and only now repeated
for efftct-are too contemplate TO be even
treated gravey. Il ClGrkSriLle Chronicle.

MANS INEVITABLE PoRTIoN.-So have
seen rose newly sprnging from the clefts
of its hood, and, at first, ii was fair as the
morning, and full with dew of heaven, as a
lambs fleece, but when ruder breath had
forced open its virgin modesty, aud dlsman-
tied its too youthful and unripe retirements,
il began TO put on darkness, and to decline
TO softness and the symptoms eta sickIy age;
il bowed the head and broke its stalk; and
at night, having lost some Of its leaves, and
its beauty, ii fell into the portion Of weeds
and outworn faces. The same is the portion
OF every man and every woman: the heritage
Of worms and strpents, rottenous and cold
dishonoE and our beauty so changed that
our acquaintance quickly knows us not; and
that change mingled with so m 'ch horror, or
else meets so with our fears and weak dis
coursings, that they who six hours ago, ten
ded upon us either with charitable or ambi-
tious services, cannot, without some regret
stay in the room alone, where the body lies

VIGILANCE CoMMITTEE.-A number of
citizens residing in the Deighborhood of

groggeries and trade shops at place com

VERY TRUE.-Non-paying patrons Of the
newspapers, are thus spoken of by an ex-
change. Every word of il is true:
'Wagons cannot run without wheels
boats without steam. bul-!rogs without legs,
or newspapers be carried on everlastingly
without money; no more than dog can wag
his tail when he has none. Our subscribers
are all good, but what good does mans
goodness do when it don't do any good p
We have no doubt that every one thinks that
all have paid except him, and as we are a
clever fellow, and his is little matter, it will
make no difference"

THE CLIMATE OF CENTRAL AMERICA
The Washington States, good democratic
paper, takes occasion to give our clever friend
Gen. Atkins n correction, by way of telling
us something of the climate of Central Ameri.
ca. That paper says: at is exceedingly
strange that politicians in and out of Con-
gress, will attempt elaborate speeches on
matters they know nothing about. In doing
so, they only exhibbit thei- own ignorance to
the criticism of TIE world. For instance, Mr..
Atkins, in a speech yesterday, asserted that
"New England people could not endure la
Dor, under the burning sun of Central Ameri.
en-" Now, if Mr.. Atkins had informed him
self fully upon the subject, he would have
learned that there is no part of Central Ameri-
ca where the "burning sun" is so intensely
felt as in his own State of Tennessee. Ice
and snow are not strangers to Guatemala; and
on the highlands of Nicaragua (Chontales)
we have often found good fire very ne
cessary medium of comfort.

WHO is AGAINST THE UNION!

When CataIine attempted to overthrow the
liberties of Rome, we are told that he CON-
menced by corruptiSg the hearts of her young
men. He taught them first TO dispute the
power and authority of the State to govern
the people. Legal restraint was next thrown
of, and open treason against the Government
soon followed.
Thus it is ever, great changes in politics
always keep pace with like changes in opin-
ions. Mahomet persuaded few Arab fol
lowers that their swords would convert the
world to the Koran, and in less than centu.
ry the crescent was planted from the banks
of the Euphrstes 10 the Ebro,
We have among Us disunionists who, cast
ing off snbordinatioH to wholesome authority,
would shiver into fragments the constitution
OF the Union. Mr.. Webster said of them in
the Senate of the United States, that when
they should be able to propagate their opin-
ions, and give them practiea! effect, they
would prove themselves the most skiful
"archtects of ruin" the most effectual extin-
guishers Of high raised expectations, the
greatest blasters of human hopes that any age
has produced. They wouh stand up to pro-
claim, in tones which would pierce the ears
of half the human race, that the last great
experiment of representative government had
failed. They would send forth sounds at the
hearing of which the doctrine of the divine
right of Kings would feel, even in its grave,
a returning sensation of vitality and resusci-
tation. Millions of eyes, of thoIe who now
feed their inherent love of Liberty on the
success of the American example, would turn
away from beholding our dsm,mberment,
and find no place on earth whereon TO rest
their gratfed sight. Amidst the n,antations
and orgies of notification, secession, ,disunion
and revolution, would be celebrated the fun
eral rites of constitutional and republican
liberty.
No, the Union can never be dissolved
Should reasonable hands be arrayrd against
it, the People, in their majesty, will come to
the rescue and hur the traitors to the lowest
depths of ignominy ny.-Memphis Eagle and

THz CARNIVAL IN New ORLEANs.-Tbe
grand Catholic fets Of Mardi-gras or the last
day of the Carnival, was celebrated Yesterday
IN ourcity with more than usual eclat The day
first appeared in the form of grotesque masker rs
at the street corners with pockets of -four; and
lnnumerable negroes, laborers and BOYS, hose
faces the maskers had besmeared with -four.
The boys carried sticks and wore their coats
wrong side o1t. aud yet could not elude the L.
csnse Of the day. At noon the masked figures.
males and females, friars and nuns, indians
and negroes, riding and walking, drunk and
sober, had become more numerous. They were
street characters, and their business was to
amuse with tricks modest and vulgar, mental
and physical, the idle throngs which crowded
every street. Ii was, in fact. a holiday to oil
kinds OF business save that which ministered 10
the pleasure OF the senses At 4 clock troops
representing Indians and devils were every
where galloping through the public places. At
clock, large party Of men, and unmasked
women IN mems clothes, alighted at the St.
Charles An i proceeded to the bar-room, where
upon two men got into fight and battered the
phiE OF each other quite savagely.
The grand outdoor f,iaie Of the occasion was
the procession OF the " Mistick Krewe of CO.
mus, in which was the - Classic Pantheon
that IL, very perfect succession of masked
groups representing all the gods of the heather
mythology, from Jupiter down to his farthest
descendant. 1t was 800 yards in length, and
excited intense interest. A yastcrowd for three
hours had been assembling in Lafayette square,
and by o'clock the front of the City Hall and
the street In front were absolutely choked up
with the multitude. The procession caused the
utmost silence, and the flaming torches by
which the groups were lighted rendered the
spectacle decidedly magnificent.
After the :" krews' had been publicly re-
eeiyed by the Mayor 1t proceeded in the midst
Of the jaLnmed street down to the St. Charles
Hotel, and then out to the Gaiete Theatre.
