tion Of things in our community. The allot-
ted term of Rev. ) NJ Cooper on tins charge
closes at the ensuing conference. BY the
blessing Of the Lord attending his faithful
labOrS, and of the Church, in connection with
him. very good state of religious feeling and
interest has been prevalent in our community
for some time, and still continues. About

church, Including the yonng, middle-agcd
and grey haired fathers and ii snow evident
to the closely observing mind, that the church
has been greatly strengthened, and has taken

religious influence. The ladies, members Of
the church and others. have for sometime
been intent upon. and industriouslv engaged
in preparations for some handsome tokens of
esteem and regard for our Pastor Rev. S. NJ.
Cooper and his W life. On Wednesday after
noon, March lSt, the ladies assembled in
large numbers at an carly hour, at the Par

visitors was largely increased 10y the arrival of

others, numbering in ALL between forty and
fifty. Through the kindness Of the company

table presenting very fine appearance, doing
great credit to the ladies having the matter il,

At the close Of the evening package con-

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT IN REFER
ENCE TO THE STATE OF AFFAIRS or THE RIO
GRANDE. II dShinsion. Mlrch G.-The Pres
idcnt to day replied to the Scnate's resolution
calling for information in reference to the
present condition Of affairs on the Rio Grapde
Among the documents is Il letter from Coy
crnor Houston, dated Austin, February 18th,
addressed to the Secretary of War, IN which
he says he deplcrcs the situation of Texas.
with an empty treasury and Indian troubles
uneXampled for the last ten years, and foroys
from Mexico On the southern border. And
he asks, in the name Of humanity, shall not
the federal aid be speedily extended IN behalf
Of our suffering frontier
Should this not be Gone, the Governor SAYS
he will III short time be compelled to resort
to the indclcaSiblc right of SclrdcrcnSe, to pro-
trct the border, not only to defeat the enemy,
but to prevent the recurrence of similar dis
orders on the frontier. Texas can, and will
if apphrd to, in thirty days be able to muster
IN the field 10 coo men, who are anxious, en-
balrasStd as her finances are, to make lccla-
ma ions upon Mexico for all her wrongs -
Can she hope for aid from the federal govern
ment! She will, in addition to her manifest
forbcarancc, venture yet to defer TO the action
Of the federal government
The Secretary of War, in his letter to the
President, March 9th, gives a synopsis Of all
the recent transactions on the Rio Grande.-
Nothing. he SAYS, can exceed the contrarety
OF opinion in relation to them among those
having the best opportunity to inform thr,n.
selves. The call Of Governor Houston is the
FIRST which has yet been made by the author
tiles of Texas for any assistance in these dis.
tnTbanceS irom the government No doubt
because it was considered by them up to this
time as matter involving local laws and IN
tercsts rather than such as pcrtained to the
honor and interests Of the confcderacy But
on the call Of the Governor of Texas, and upon
the undenlabie proofs Of gross outragcs com
mittCd on our soil, the Secretary OF War SAYS
he has not hcStatcd to order Il concentration
of all the force upon that frontier which the
eXigencies Of the service elsewhere would
allow.
Among the documents is letter to Gov.
Houston from one of the Texas commissioners
sent to Brownsville, dated Feb. Sd, in which
he says that although many tur bulent leaders
exist among the McXicans, the Mexican poo
pie, as a mass, are hoping for deliverance
from anarchy, and would rejoice in the estab
lishment of stable form of government,
which would protect their lives and property
and give them peace.
Many of the intelligent people OF the State
of Tamaulipas regard prot:ctorate as the
only means by which Mexico can be redeemed
from the reign Of anarchy and party lyran,S.
That there is a deep-seated hostility on the
part Of many to everything American there
cen be no doubt; but with the great mass of
Mcxicans. they would yield before the same
course Of Justice and humanity which has
characterized the United States in its annex.

multitude of sustained sounds, each clear and

On applying the ear to the woodwork of the

To sell spiTtuous and fermented liquors or
lager bear in quantities not less than a PIN,
SIS, instead of 20, as in the old bill.
Section twelve Of the new bill repcals all
the section fixing the sum for each and every
license at $50. Under the old law the license
is rated according to the rent paid by the sew
eral establishments, as follows "a rent of
500 is licensed at $50; of 500 at S75; "a
rent of between 100 and 5000 licensed at
500; between 200 and $500, licensed at
Sl25 between 800 and $500, licensed at
$50; between 500 and 81 600, licensed at
$500; rent Of between LOCO and 50 600, a
license at $3.50; rent exceeding 50 600 hcen-
sed at $500. These arc the rates of license
under the law at present, and it is proposed
by the new law to put them all on the same
footing, large establishments aid small estab,
lishments at $50.
The argument advanced in favor of the
change is, that the high rates drive persons to
commit fraud by selling without license,
whereby the State has los! some $40 coo, per
year. Some may think this sound argument,
but we do not.
