Tho population OF Texas.

The progress of free labor is making rapid
strides in Western Texas, and even now has
the full control and will mould the future
political destiny of that immense stretch of
table land. The following from the New
Orleans Bee, shows what is going on IN that
quarter: .---.
ave have recently conversed with an
intelligent and observant gentleman, who
has spent many years in Texas, and has
travelled all over the Northern and Western
portion of that State. He informs us that
throughout those sections OF the country
the immigration is nearly entirely derived
from foreigners. of whom seven-eighths are
Germans. Excellent agriculturalists, hardy
and patient tillcrs of the soil, sober, temper
ate, industrious, peaceful, and ohedient to
law, this population in many respects can
not be surpassed-but they are from birth,
breeding, and habits of thought, inyincibly
hostile to slave labor. Not one in a thous-
aud owns negro, and there are whole
tiers Of counties in certain parts OF Texa {,
which cast, in the aggregate, many thous-
ands of votes, where one may travel many
a day and scarcely see u black skin or hear
the accents of the English tongue. There
is very little intercourse for commercial pur-
poses between these people and the inhabit-
ants of Southern and Eastern Texas There
! are no available means of ready and easy
communication, no railways, and the ordi-
nary roads are exceedingly primitive in
construction, and frequently rendered i'm
passable by boys and marshes.
The industry of the German population is
peculiar. II is easily satisfied, and is not OF
the vigorous and energetic character of the
| Anglo-Saxon race. 1t is not adventurous
and enterprising. II does not perpetually
seek for Improvement The Germans of
Texas are satisfied to till their abundant
lands, to raise live stock, to provide every
! desirable comfort for their families and TO
| live the tranquil unostentatious life of their
forefathers. The lands they cultivate, and
millions of acres more, are unsurpassed in
fertility. How is it, then, that they haycre
manned in a great measure unsettled by
American planters? Simply because the
! latter will not immigrate to country dis
/ tant from the centre of commerce, with few
and imperfect avenues, and these at certain
seasons almost Theoretically closed. The
American who purchases a section of land
in Texas calculates-to use a national term
Ito raise cotton or sugar, and to make
money. He will avoid the selection of any
! spot, however productive, whence the pro-
ducts of his labor cannot reach market
The German, on the other hand, buys land
that himself and family may possess a cheap
substantial, and comfortable homestead, anC
rarely looks beyond this main point. Hence
the region referred TO is rapidly filling vi
with Germans, who outnumber the Ameri
cans in the proportion of ten to one. Oul
informant states as the result of persona
inquiry and observation, that if no marked
change should occur before ten years elapse
Texas will be divided into four StateS-ene
slaveholding and the others free"

A NEW GOVERNMENT FOR BRITISH AMERI-
CA bill introduced by Sir Bulwer Lytton
for organizing the Northwest territories of
British America under Governor and Coun-
Gill; has been printed. The present destina-
ton of these territories-New Caledonia
is to be continued, and they are TO embrace
all the country bounded to the south by the
frontier of the United States, to the east by
the water shed between the streams that
flows into the Pacific ocean and those which
flow into the Atlantic and ley oceans, to the
north by the 55th parallel of latitude, and
to the west by the Pacific, including Queen
Charlottes Island and all adjacent islands,
except Vancouver's. The latter, however,
may be included at any time, on an ad-
dress being presented for the purpose by its
local Legislature.

people and government have never admitted So
long ago as 1872, the attempt of the English Gov
ernment to enforce it, under other circumstances,
and for different purpose, was one of the causes
which led to a war So late as April 10, 1853,
General CAss in correspondence with Lord NAPIER,
said:
ITO permit foreign officer to board the vessel of anoth
err to assume command in her. to call for and examine her
papers, to pass Judgment upon her character decide the
broad inquiry whether she is navgated according to law
and to send her in at pleasure for trial cannot be submitted

The United States deny the right the cruisers of
other power whatever for any purpose whatever TO enter
their vessels by force in time Of peace"
Thus stands the question, then, between the two
Governments. AS between our own Government
and our people, the question is much more simple
That protection which our flag ought to afford to
our commerce, and to every honest trader sailing
under it, requires that immediate and efficient
measures should be taken, to put stop to these
''outrages" If the flag cannot protect itself, let
the guns of some of our men-of-war protect the
flag. Having put an end to the practice we shall
then be in better condition to discuss the right of
search

OMESTIC
A NEW CHANNEL IN APALACHICOLA

we learn from the Apalachicola advertiser of the
9th inst. that channel was discovered on the 10Th
ult., by the U. S. Coast Survey steamer Vixen,
which opens the harbor of that city to vessels draw
ing twenty-four feet of water. correspondent
who was on board the Vixen gives the following ac-
count:
The Duer Channel is found, and the fact estab-
lished that Apalachcola possesses the priceless
treasure of the best harbor south of the Chesa-
peake bay: the next best is port Royal, Beaufort,
3. e., which has entrance of 20 feet. Now for the
proof. On the morning of the 10Th April, in Com
pany, with others, we went on board the United
States steamer Vixen, Lieutenant Commanding,
John h. Duer, to take a preliminary Sur
vey east of Dog Island. After making a thorough
sound they found channel from Dog Island run
ming round the shoal, of four fathoms, gradually
deepening seward to five fathoms and five feet, and
when on the bar thirty-one feet, being the least
water at halflow tide. On the bar, Dog Island
light bears W. by s., South Cape bearing N. Z. by
N The channel is one-haf mile to two and half
miles wide, and gives twentytou feet to good and
safe harbor. There is a small portion inside of this
harbor yet to be surveyed exactly, but it has been
established that there is three fathoms on it.
MIR. May, the pilot, who was on board the Vixen,
says he has "litte doubt that when properly sur
veyed out vessels carry four athoms into Pilot
Cove"
Be this, however, as it may, the truth is deter
mined that vessels drawing twenty-four feet can
load In harbor unequaled on the coast for good
holding ground and safe anchorage. But this sur
vey has also demonstrated that ships drawing nine
teen feet can proceed to sea from the present an
chorage-on the old bar there is only sixteen and
half feet.
The services rendered to the public by the Vixen
in discovering this channel even were it at the cost
of the total expenses of the Coast Survey for the
season, would be great indeed. =
Here is a harbor that will accommodate the
largest class of ocean steamers-that will admit a
ine-of-battle ship-what can prevent commerce
from flowing in upon us, and direct trade to Europe
OF the heaviest ships, and consequently lower
freights.
To Lieut.. Duer belongs the praise-let its name
be "The Duer Channel" and the inlet the "May
Inlet" after the pilot, Mr.. Robert May.
