Coon PRosPEcTs FOR PoruLous STArE.-The
Dallas (rexas) Herald Of the 18th, has tho sub
joined paragraph:
Last week there passed through Dallas in one
day two companies Of cnigrants from the State Of
Arkansas, consisting in all OF six families having
six OK wagons and live stock. These two
companies Travelled separately, tho first having
seventeen children, and the other tweni y.fve, all
under the agc of l6. 1t was singular spectacle,
and one that attracted universal attention. Texas
bids fair to become n populous State, with such
people to add to her numerical strength.

A SINGULAR LAwsuIT.-From the Winnsboro
(Frnnklin parish) San we find the following:
There is n singular case pending before our
District Conrt. The facts OF it are these Two
parties entered into agreement some time ago
to run n horse race at u certain time and place.
They each put up notes for $500, as stakes, which
were to go to the winner of the race or to bo for
feited if either failed. One Of the parties died,
and the other, though third party TO whom hc
had sold the contract, who had previous to the
day of the race substituted fye hundred dollars in
cash in the place Of his vendors note, appeared
Mt the place agreed upon, and at the time agreed
upon walked his horse over the ground stipulated
in the agresmsnt-ne competitor appearing.
Suit is now instituted to the amount of tho
note from tho estate Of the defaulting party.
INDIAN DEPREDArIoNs IN TExAs.-The Bolton

On the night of Tho Goth ult., some twenty

when they charged uron the Indians, who, as
as they discovered the number Of white
men, wheeled about for a fght. The white men
retreated for distance, still shooting at the
Indians as opportunity permitted, until Mr..
Cross was killed. At this time they discovered
they had retreated down between two precipitous
ravines, over which their horses could not pass -
They left their horses and escaped, leaving the
Indians victorious Of the ground. II is supposed

Infamous IncendiarLsm

Conscious as we we're OF the partisan
malignity which controls the political
columns Of the Enquirer, We confess to
no little surprise at the characteroi yes
terd4y's leader in that paper. The de-
iiberate attempts 10 inaame tho Southern
mind still further, intmating that MoNT-
GoMERY's violence in Kansas is approved
aud encouraged by the overwhelming
majority or the North who voted for LIN
COLIN, and that it is one of the legitimate
results of Republican principles, indicates
a disposition which even fiends might
blush to acknowledge. And all this, un-
der the mistaken notion Of manufacturing
a little paltry political capital! We sub
join few specimens of this mandacious
diabolism, and leave them. without ex'
tended comment. to the execration of all
intelligent persons:
The Enquirer says:
The news from Kansas yesterday is
another of the fruits Of that temper ol
mind and public policy which eliminated

conniyed at, if not applauded.
But this wanton mend4city goes still

We hold to freedom Of speech and Of

liberty as the above. In an intelligent
community like this,no correction is need
ed. It's only at the South where such
false witness, borne by unscrupulous par

may be partly credited, that any evil can
result. A heavy responsibility for the

such reckless politicians, rests upon these

Tho Public Den, Of The south.

10 calculating the chances OF Southorn
success in movement towards establish
ing an independent confederacy, it be-
comes an interesting subject oil enquiry how
the sereGing States will find themselves
off financially. In the affairs of govern
ments as Of individuals, the condition Of
the exchequeris the element of prime i'm
portance. In the case ofa party deeply
in debt, and with current expenditures
exceeding current income, it is easy to
forssee that ruin is not far off.
The South, were she to secede in whole
or in part from the Union, has got TO have
credit first Of all She has got to have it,
primarily TO stayeoG payment on the heavy
indebtedness of her individual States.
This indebtedness amounts to the no light
sum ofone hundred and Thirty millions of
dOtlars, as we will presently show. Next
besides carrying this loai Of which her
people will find themselves in poor con-
dilion to pay the interest, to say nothing
Of the principal she has got to raise from
thirty 10 ffty millions per annum, TO car.
ry on a government. Begirt with such
formidable difficulties from without and
from within, ss the disunited South would
at once have to encounter, il is idle TO
think that she could support an efficient
government at less tsan half what our
present Federal Government costs.
She has got to have IN army and ma.

costly necessity TO the "ULited S,alos
South" The army and navy of the Uni
ted States cost between thirty five and for
ty millions per annum. How much less
would an equally efficient one cost the
South, considering that she has got to
create both out OF nothing?
Then she must have a post.office system
Of her own, the Federal one being smash.
cd along with the rest Of the Union ma
chine. What would that cost? The mail
service Of the fifteen slave States now costs
81, 300,o 900 annually. There is collected
in postages from these States only 81, :.
700, 900, leaving deficiency Of $4,000
600 as The net loss Of carrying he mails
in the South.
Then tho Southern Confedcracy will
have to support a diplomatic service a
broad and civil service at home, costing,
at the customary rates OF salary which
prevail, not less thau fvc 10 eight millions
per onnum.
But, whatever compromise the secs-
ding States might be able TO effect, as re-
CARDS, the Federal debt, their own sepa-
rate State debts must be paid, or elso re-,

That is, the Southern Safes now owe,
