These embrace all the elections of impor-

of the present Republican party. At each +,
it will be seen, there was majority OF votes
cast against that party. We are confident
that the changes since these elections have
been against them. Consequently. they can
not hope TO carry the State under any Cir
cumstances if their opponents unite on one
ticket.

gretted fact that the names Of the unfortunate and
fallen brave to US unknown. Mr. Usher,
whose father, In company with the Rev. Jacob
Carnes, and others, assisted in burying the dead,
states that "a, as well as he recollects, who were
killed on the day of BATTLE were buried in one
large pit or grave, and that 25 who died of their
wounds the next day, were buried in another grave
about 500 yards distant from the others The
wounded who survived were, in a few days, hauled
i'll wagons to the Waxhaw Church hospital
there number died and are buried in the grave
yard at that church, but now probably no person
can point out their last resting places.
The loss of the British according to Tareton's
account, two officers and three privates killed.
and one officer and 13 privates wounded. So san
culinary and cruel was the battle and the conduct
OF Tarleton that the attempt to excuse himself by
informing Cornwallis that about the time Of the
surrender his horse shot, and that his men be-
came infuriated, supposing he was wounded,
that it was impossible for while to restrain them;
but the truth no doubt was, that his thirst for
blood induced him willingly to submit and en-
courage it. 1t was fit occasion for an officer of
his cold and obdurate heart to satiate his thirst
for carnage upon a surrendered and armless foe
a thirst which characterzes him cruel and SEN
culinary tyrant, and holds up his name and memo
ry to eternal obloquy and scorn. "Tarletom's
Quarters" which here had its full origin, after
wards became proverbial throughout the country.

WESTERN TEXAS,

have been on botanical tour through west
ern Texas, by way OF San Antona to Corpus Christi
on the Gulf coast, returning by way Of Retugio,
Goliad and Gonzales to Austin. This is what is
termed the dry region but it has suffered more
severely during the last FIVE years than ever be-
fore, SO say the oldest inhabitants At present, on
account OF spring rains, the crops promise well.
At the farm of Gen. Pitts near San Marcos, saw
a cornield of hundred acres on the lst Of May,
which was OF deep green, and had an average
height of more than three feet. | never before
saw SO fine "a field on May-day The planting
of this corn began the 9th day Of February, and
was continued until the 18th Of March. In the
same field of many hundreds of acres, were cot
ton rye, wheat, oats, Chinese sugar and corn,
all of which looked finely, indicating the good far
mer, who, by deep plowing aud having the work
done well and in good season, gets good returns
The soil Of western Texas is generally Of the
best quality, being dark limestone loan, much
like the prairie lands of the North western States
Owing to dry seasons it is probable that this por
tion Of the State will never be a great grain grow
ing region. On the contrary, now, it will con-
tinue to be /, great stock growing section, where
thousands of cattle, mules and horses over
hill and prairie, amid scattering live oak and mus
quit trees. Many of these stock men lead an easy
wild life, rarely raising more grain than for home
use. Their principal wealth consists of cattle,
horses and mules. The land is nearly all unfenced
and the Of only fifty acres may have several
thousand cattle and horses. The chief work is to
brand the colts and calves, no further care being
necessary more than general supervision. Each
stock man has brand recorded in the county in
which he resides. That some brand colts and
calves mistakngy, which do not belong them,
is probable; but mistakes will occur in the best
gulated communities.
Western Texas is beautiful country Many of
its springs and streams have clearness not found
in the waters of other portions of the South,
cepting amid the mountains in Florida. The
San Marcos and Guadaloupe, near New Brauntels,
emerge from the hills above, bright and sparkling,
gliding along the limestone rocks plainly Wis
ible in the beds of these streams. New Braunfels
is the centre of large German colony who have
the promise of an abundant harvest. This will
give life to that region, where drouth has pre-
vented full crop during the past four years.

IMPORTANT FROM UTAH.-Captain Gibson
passed through this city on his way to Washington,
as bearer of important dispatches from Utah to the
General Government We understand these des-
patches embrace propositions from Brigham Young
to sell out the Mormon property at Salt Lake City
and vicinity to the United States, the saints to
evacuate the Territory and remove to some point
on the Pacific coast either in the British possessions
or within the boundaries of the United States,
where they will establish new home for themselves
and followers. There is no doubt that Brigham
Young is induced to take this course by the recent
heavy emigration to Pixies Peak, and the rapid
extension of the power Of the gentiies towards
the immediate neighborhood of the prophets

VIOLENT CONVULsIoNS OF NATURE-It is
rather remarkable TACT that at nearly the same
period of time hurricanes Of almost unprecedented
violence have occurred on both sides of the At
lantic. The London correspondent Of the Nation
al 1ntelligencer writes as follows:
Since the 25th of October last, when the Royal
Charter" was crushed like an eggshell on the
coast Of Wales, hurricane after hurricane, of vio
lence not often experienced in these ATTITUDES have
swept and around us. The month of May
ended with tempest which wrecked three hun
dred and fifty vessels the British coast, and
June opened with another storm which, even on
land, approached the character of tornado We
do not yet know the extent Of the mischief it has
done at sea- can only hope that it did not spread
so wide disaster did its immediate precursor
Within the last twelve months ships and cargoes
to the estimated value of 81 100000 were lost
upon coast, and sixteen hundred human beings
pershed with the wrecks Surely our knowledge
of the laws of storms should enable us, in some
degree, to diminish this vast amount of mischief
and suffering
1t is true that against the violence of the wind
and waves mans puny strength would be vainy
opposed, but cannot something be done to warn
the mariner of the approaching storm, and to tell
him when it would be dangerous for him to leave
harbor and when prudent to seek shelter? The
wrecks around the coasts of England, Ireland and
Scotland are more than 100 per annum.

How FAR CAN LIGHTNING BE SEEN?-A cor
spondent ofthe Adrian "Expostor" Figures up
follows, in answering the question. "How far
can lightning be seen?' "At half past nine o'clock
on Sabbath evening I observed lightning low in
the horizon, due west. A gentleman who came
from Chicago on Monday morning informed me
that at that hour a heavy thunder storm was u
progress in that city-no signs of which were to
be seen this side of the head of Lake Michigan.
So lightning can be seen at least two hundred
miles"

RUNAWAY NEaRoEs-Fdtal Attack-A cor
respondent of the Washington (N c. Dispatch,
writing from Pantego, N. c., Goth ult, says:
On yesterday three large negro men passed Low
or Broad Greek, and were hailed by gentleman
named Credle They said to Credle they were
bound to Leachvie, to work for Mr. Martin
Credle informed Mr. W. H Davis, and both of
them pursued after them, overlook and asked if
they had any papers, which they readily produced.
They were ordered to return, which they readily
did; two walking before D., and one walking by
his side. They had not proceeded far on their re-
turn, before the one by his side seized his gun and
snatched it away while D. was not upon his guard.
Davis dismounted instantly and made towards the
negro; the negro struck him blow with the gun
which felled him to the ground, and repeated the
blows once or twice. Credle who was just behind,
dismounted Immediately, and attempted to Shoot
the negro while beating Davis, the gun missing
fire; the other two negroes seeing the gun miss
fire, jumped into Creole, took his gun ana struck
it against the ground breaking it to pieces, but
did not lnjure the person of Credle, only by a
slight blow the face. A company was raised
Immediately to pursue them which was done by
dogs two miles through swamp until they came
to the millpond which the negroes had crossed.
Pursuit was given to organize larger COM
pany to guard the different passes in the juniper
swamps. About an hour before day they came
along, and were hailed by one of the guard; the
negro, instead of answering, made ready for at
tack. He struck by the guard that hailed,
and just as the negro in the act Of retm ming
the blow another Of the guard shot him in the
face. The night being dark, the forest trees shut
ting out all light, they could not a man ten
feet, so the other two made their escape No clue
was found to whom they belonged. Papers
were found purporting to be free papers, dated
from BERTHE county. MIR Davis is very severely
injured, having two large and dangerous wounds
upon his head

LATER FROM JAPAN--A Repaired BaHle.-
The brig Ida Rogers arrived at San Francisco on
the 1st inst, % days from Kanagawa. battle
had been fought near Jeddo, in which Prince
was killed. Fears were entertained that an attack
would be made on Kanagawa, and so much
probability of it, that the shipping in the harbor
notified to hold themselves in readiness to
protect themselves, as they could not be protected
by the Government. A letter from a commercial
firm at Kanagawa, dated May Sd, says:
1t is reported that there was big fight in Yeddo
yesterday, between the revolutionary party and the
Government No particulars received. The cap
tans of all the vessels in the harbor notified
to be prepared for attack. Guns
out and shotted, and things certainly look squay.
Two hundred and sixty soldiers arrived in town
yesterday. Some say they came to protect the
place; others say that they intend to wipe out all
the foreigners. We have so many reports Of this
kind that we do not regard them much A few
days will tell the story
From the Rev. Mr. Goble, who sailed few
months ago from San Francisco for Kanagawa as
missionary the following lettes is received, dated
Kanagawa, April "a.
"We arrived safe in Japan on the lst Of April,
where we found the What-Cheer and the Page at
anchor. They were about three weeks before u.s.
"The white men here are in state Of constant
alarm, on account of a set ofdesperadoes who hate
foreigners and have assassi mated several and
wounded others These people ere led on by a
Prince Meta, and said to be constantly lurking
about to what they do to disturb foreign
residents
