The old hero of San Jacinto sat on the

The Galveston Ne,0s, in publishing the
important intelligence, remarks:
We should have preferred that the Ordi-
nance could have been passed, SO that Tex
as, as separate, independent State, could
be represented in the Southern Congress at
Montgomery; but the reference back to the
people will silence all cavils by the opposi-

The Texas Ordinance Of Secession.


The Texas Convention, on the lst inst,
passed the Ordinance of Secession, by a
vote of l66 yeas to nays, as announced
previously. A dispatch from Austin to the
Galveston Nes0s says:
The vote was taken in the presence of
the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, both
branches of the Legislature, the Judges Of
the Supreme Court and District Court, and
the Hon. Mr. Mcqueen, Commissioner from
South Carolina, all of whom had taken seats
in the Convention by invitation.
The Galveston Civilian publishes the
Ordinance as follows:
An Ordinance to dissolve the Union between
the State Of Teras and the other States,
united under the compact styled "7he
Constitution Of the United States Of A.
merica."
SEC. l. Whereas, the Federal Govern
ment has failed to ACCOMPLISH the purposes
of the compact of union between these
States in giving protection either to the per-
sons of our people upon an exposed frontier,
or to the property of our citizens; and,
whereas, the action of the Northern States
is violative of the compact between the
States and the guarantees of the Constitu-
tion; and, whereas, the recent developments
in Federal affairs make it evident that the
power of the Federal Government is sought
to be made a weapon with which to strike
down the interests and property Of the peo'
pie of Texas and her sister slaveholding
States, instead ofpermitting it to be as was
intended-our shield against outrage and

To the Editor ofMe Charleston Mercusy:
Having noticed the copy Of a card pub
lished in the New York Herald of the 4th,
inst, entitled "Charleston and its Fortif.
cations" I feel it incumbent on me to state,
that the assertions therein contained are un.
true; at least the portion relating to the
School Ship LodeJar, and the discharge of
Capt 81. c."
The truth is, Capt. Aimar is now, and
always has been, the teacher of navigation.
The Board knows no other. "The Charles
ton Marine School, (on board the Lode.
bar), is purely benevolent enterprise, got.
ten up by our merchants and other beneyo-
lent gentlemen. It is not State institu.
tion; her officers are not commissioned, but
simply balloted for, yearly, by the Board Of
Trustees, and the institution is under the
auspices of the Charleston Port Society.
The State and City contribute literally
to its support; also, q number Of private
individuals. Who Capt. 81. G." is, no
one here can say-some "bogus captain;""
an imposter who wants employment from
sympathizer, no doubt. His statements
are SO void of truth, as regards his counec-
ton and discharge from the Lodebar, that
be should not be credited in reference to the
forti6cations in this harbor, and the prac-
ticability of reinforcing Fort Sumter. By
inserting the above you will oblige, very
respectfully, a."
Your obedient servant,

Coop STocK ARE CHEAPEsr.-A bullock
of improved breed. at three years old, will
be superior both in size and weight to one
of the course, common Kind at FIVE years.
Two years feed and trouble are thus wasted
upon those animals which by their nature
are fitted to transmute hay and grain into
hide and horn and bone, rather than into
meat.l In quality Of flesh, the well bred
steer as far exceeds the coarser brute. as the
rich melting flesh of Bartlett OF Virgalieu
pear is superior to the astringent, gritty sub
stance of a wilding.
10 When choice cattle were rare, when well
bred Short Horn, or Hereford, or Ayrshire,
could only be wei ghed down by purse of
$1,000 to $4,000, it was too much to expect
that men of moderate means, the great mid
die class of farmers, should become enthu-
siastic in improving their stock. But now,
the better breeds are so widely disseminated
over the country, that they are easily and
cheaply obtained. Young bulls. thorough
bred of their several kinds, abound. Num-
bers of them are every year made into steers
for working purposes; but the use Of these,
1t proper age, even upon the meanest com
mon cows, and a few consecutive crosses up
on their progeny, will. in few years, give
the breeder herd, for all practical uses,
equal in beef and dairy value to the best,
and which viii return in their products,
double the profit to be derived from the in
ferior animals. The season for breeding
neat cattle will soon be here. Let every
owner of stock take time by the forelock,
and secure, at least, the use of the best an
imal that can be obtained within days
travel. or more if need be. Two years
