 Would be content to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia y
 "With regard to the constitutional power of Congress over this subject, l would say that the only doubt l have of the existence of the power either 10 sup press the slave trade or to abolish slavery in this District, is inspired by the respect have for the opinions of SO many distin- guished and eminent men, both in and out of Congress-, who hold that Congress has no such power.

 And again:
 q would be glad to see all causes of disturbance and contention in the district wholly removed; but let me say that this can never be done blythe abolition of slavery, unless it be accompanied by some adequate provision for the removal or the effective control of the slaves after they shall be emancipated.

UNDER THE SNOW.
BY EMELINE S. SMITH.

The sky looks pale, through misty veil; The winter wind walls loud; And eoud-shapes grieve, as they rapidly weave The cold still earth a shroud. Now, spirits in white, with footsteps light, Come troopiug down the sky Like shapes of steam or like angels they seem As they float so airily by. Oh, the winter snowi the winter snow We loved it once full well. And with childish shout. ringing merrily out, Hailed the tieecy shower as it fell. But now since we know, that under the snow, Hid from the light of day, There are treasures far--treasures most rare, In darkness hidden away; Our gladness is OCT, and we love no moro To see the snowfall come; For heavy chill, and a sense of i'll, It brings to our heart and home. Oh, the treasure fair! the treasures SO rare Hidden under the snow, Are not the sweet flowers that in summer hours Set mount and meadow a-glow. Something more bright to our yearning sight, Something far dearer than they Is lying low, under the snow,
 On this bleak, and winter day. If we think with dread of the blossoms dead, Under this covering chill, What deeper Woe must our sad hearts know For that something dearer still! Oh, snowfakes fair. fall light as air Fall light and soft. pray, On the treasures we yet so wildly regret Buried, and hidden away!

From the Arkansas Baptist. FROM TEXAS-PRICES OF PRO- VISIONS - NEGRO TROU-
 BLES.

DEAR BROTHER WATSON: For fear you or some ofyour friends might con clude this to be the year to come to Texas, 1 will give you short state ment about the crops.
 1 have travelled through several counties recently, namely; Falls, Bell, Travis, Milan, Roberson, 4imestone and Freestone. There are several counties north of me and from me to the Louisiana line, in which corn can not be purchased for less than two dollars per bushel, and in great ma ny places, corn cannot be had at any price. Pork will be very high, but we are blessed here with as good beef as the world can afford and this is a very good substitute for pork. Wheat Is worth two dollars bushel.
 It is ofno use to mention the cause of the hard times here, as it is under stood that this country is seldom bless ed with rain enough to make good crops.
 Our country has been thrown into excitement in consequence of the burning of several towns and resi- dences. After examination it was found that Abolitionists had placed in the hands of the negroes great quan- tity of poisonous medicines and had the plan laid for an insurrection which was to have come off on the fourth of August.
 The plan was to poison all the melons to be taken to the Election, on the night before, and on the Election day, to burn all the houses and gran cries; kill all the women and children; then make wives of the young wom- en; then kill all the men as fast as they returned from the Election! But greatly to their disappointment, sev- eral white men have been convicted and hung! also, several negroes, and there is no telling how many more will be convicted. As the work goes on, the more there is found out. Two or three of those hung, were Metho- dist ministers: two more were me chanics from the north.
 The towns burnt are Dallas, Hen derson and Nachodoches. Those fired but extinguished are Tylor, Mar lin and Palestine. There is n Vigi- lance Committee in every county that looks into every hidden mystery and keeps the county well patroled.
 Your interesting paper comes to hand regularly.
 Yours Truly,
 J. j.. BOWDON.
