THE RIO GRANDE.-The Telegraph announces
that on the 2Sth February, after dispatches from
Gov. Houston had been received, orders were
sent forward to Col. Lee, commanding the Texas
military department, to pursue Cortinas into
Mexico. if necessary, and to capture him and his
band wherever found.
This is in striking contrast with.t the course
pursued by Gov. Houston. At his request, Com
missioners proceeded to the Rio Grande. and &c.
nor Navarro presented himself to Cortinas at his
Camp and represented to him the wishes of Gov.

South CdroHna
DEAR SIR: have received your letter, dated
KNOXVILLE, on the Sd of February, in answer to
mine, acknowledging the receipt OF the resolu'
tions passed by South Caronna III reiu'ioh W
Federal affairs.
1t gives me great pleasure to learn that South
Carolina does not, by these resolutions, propose
a secession from the Union. From the state
mept in the preamble, that the State CT South
Carolina, by her ordnance of 1852. affirmed her
right to secede from the Coniederacy, whenever
the occasion should arise justifying her, in her
own Judgment in taking that step'-from the
words of the clause next following, that "snce
these assaults upon the rights and institutions
of Southern States had continued" pre6xed as a
reason for the resolution that those States should
meet together to concert measures for united ac-
ton: as we'll as from the last sentence OF your
letter communicating these resolutions, stating
that "South Carolina claims the right to secede
whenever she may think it expedient to do So.
but much prefers concerted action" | supposed
land think not unnaturally) that the concerted
action could only have reference to the right to
secede, in company with other States, prefer
able to such action on the part of South Carolina
alone, under the right claimed by her ordinance
of 1852.
very gladly confess this error, which it is the
object Of your last letter to point out, and am
sure THAT the general assembly,'to whom at their
request Tam about to communicate it, will re-
ce,ts gIti, ,,elsure this correction Of misrep-
resolution that is not mine alone

enjoying the largest liberty, and sported among
other extravagancies white woman as his mis-
tress. To supply her wants, Riley took to steal
ing, for which he was arrested, convicted and
consigned to the State prison at Joliet, for two
years. Ills term would have expired on Februa-
nv 10Th, 1860.
But the Governor Of Illinois, evidently fearing
demand would be made for him, as fugitive or
fclon, or both, sent him pardon to take effect
on the llth instant.
Mr.. Hawkins being advised of the rascally
movements, accompanied by policeman Milton
Curry, of this city, and p. U. Major, Esq, Com
monwealth's Attorney for franklin county, went
to Springfield, the Capital of the State, and on
Wednesday the Sth, presented, from the Govern
or Of Kentucky, a requisition for the slave, as
an escaped felon. Gov. Bssell affected much
kindness, Immediately wrote a note to the Secre-
tary of State for the necessary papers, ana la
vorably impressed the kentuckians by his suaVi-
ty and courtesy.
In the Secretarys Office, Mr.. Curry was in
formed that it was impossible to get the papers
SO as to enable him to go to Joliet by the noon
train, but they would be prepared in time for
him to leave next morning. The documents were
obtained, and the Kcntuckians reached the State
prison next day, but the bird (black) had flown
Mark the sequel. Gov. Bissel on the noon
train the day previous, had dispatched message
with an order to the warden of the prison order
ing the slave discharged forthwith, and advising
the warden that he would fill up pardon when
he was informed of the date of the discharge
Dyer, a noted Abolitionst of Chicago, conveyed
the slave to the city, and on the arrival Of the
Kentuckians, who pursued him, had him taken
to Canada.
There can be no mistake as to Bissell's conniv-
ing In the escape of this fugitive felon, for the
order of discharge was exhibited to Mr.. Hawkins
and Messrs. Curry and Major Gov. Bissel antici-
pates his own pardon to a criminal, and is guilty
of bad faith and unmanly deception to the Off
cials of sister State, because the felon is ne

THE HAIR.-People have for centuries been af-
hcted with bald heads, aud the only remedy here
tOfore known has been those abomnable wigs
By recent discovery of Professor Wood, these
articles arc being fast dispensed with ; but great
many persons still patronize them because they
have been 80 often imposed Epon by Hair Touics
of different kinds To ali such persons we ear

thing as fail. We know of lady who bald 4,
who used the article a short time, and her head is
now covered completely with the tiniest and most
beautiful curls imaginable. We know of numerous
cases where hair was RAPIDLY falling out, which it
restored in greater perfection than it had been
before.
1t is also without doubt one of the best articles
for keeping the hair in good condition, making it
soft and glossy, removing dandruf, and has proved
itself the greatest enemy to all the ills that hair is
heir to.
1t is the duty of every one to improve his or her
personal appearance, though some may differ in
regard to the ways of doing it but every one will
admit that beautiful head of hair, either in
or woman, is object to be desired, and there are
ne means which should be left untried to obtain
such desideratum.
