Senator Douglas.

The distinguished Senator from Illinois, af-
ter wandering in the desert for twenty or thir-
ty years, has evidently come 10 the conclusion
that, like the ancient lawgiycr Of the Children
of Israel, he may, as he is waxing along to-
wards old age, as we'll pack his trunks and pre-
pare to go into Canaan to rest in Uncle Abra-
ham 5 bosom.
Such is evidently Mr., Douglas intention.
judging by his recent course in the Senate
but he will do well to rccollect that Moses, his
great prototype, ruined his political prospects
by endeavoring to please everybody, and that
he was never permitted to cross Jordan From
the summit of Mount Pisgah Moses saw, afal
off, the sweet fields, and swelling floods, the
majestic forests, the rich cities and busy towns
of the promised land then, girding up his
loins Moses laid himself down and died. S.
it will be with Senator Douglas. Far away il
the dim distance he sees his old adversary
Lincoln, dealing out the milk and honey o
the political Canaan, but not drop is giver
| to the Little Giant. There are too many
Aarons and Joshuas in the path OF the Illinoi
Moses. lIa will die before lie reaches tn

Gov. Houston and the Rebels.

AS is already known, the Texas Sc
cessionists, finding that Gov. Houston
would not be subservient to their trai.
torous designs, procured the endorse
ment of the Legislature to resolu-
ton declaring the Governors office
vacant. The Governor, however is
not at all frightened, as will be seen
by his address to the people of Texas,
the most important part Of which we
give below. After referring to the
the manner in which he was elected,
the Governor says: ....... .s
When, on account of the election of Mr.
| Lincoln To the Presidency of the United States
was urged to convene the Legislature, re-
| fused to do SO, until such time as | believed
| the public interests required it. To all | said
that if the people desired the Legislature call
ed | wund not stand in their way. When
satisfied that the necessity existed, | called il
| together, and, upon its assemblage, urged up.
on it the importance of immediate action IN
reference to your relations to the United States
and with respect to the frontier and the treas
ury
In the meantime, the Convention had been
called, which assembled on the 2Sth of Janua-
| ~. That Convention, besides being revolu-
tionary in its character, did not receive the
sanction of majority of the people. As the
representative of minority, however large
it could not claim the right to speak for the
people. 1t was without the pale Of the Con
stitution and unknown to the laws which
| had sworn to support While sworn to sup
port the Constitution, it was my duty tt
stand aloof from all revolutionary schemes
calculated to subvert the Constitution.
The people who were free from such solemn
obligations, might revolutionize and thereby
absolvo me from mine, my oath having refer
ence to my acts in the capacity of their Chic
Executive but as sworn officer my duty
was too plain to be misunderstood. Becaus,
: others more lightly regarded the bond the,
made with Heavrn, furnished me no excuse
i, il my conscience condemned the act If ha'
believed that the time had come for revolution
should have thrown OFF the burden of al
official oath, resigned my office, and US one c

Your CHOICE FOR One DOLLAR--The
Ncw Metallic IRoy-"Oricde" is a new
metallic alloy extensively used in this
country as a substitute for gold. Stores
have sprung into existence all owe the
country for the sale of it, and newspa-
pers contain flaming advertisements of
a full set Of jewclry for n dollar,
being the stock of a large manufacture
err Cor merchant "who is Obliged to
dispose of his stock on account Of the
panic" 1t is a French discovery, and
is called by the French gold oriedc. 1t
is manufactured to a large extent IN
Waterbury, Connecticut. 1t bears a
very strong resemblance to gold in col
or, density and iincncss of grain-so
close that it decoives every one but
practical dealers and experts. Its COM
ponent parts consist of pure copper,
100 parts /; zinc or (preferable) tin, II
parts +; m~agnesia, 6 parts (; sal mln0
lac. SO parts ; qulcklime, l.S parts;
tartar of commerce, 9 parts 4; are mixed
as follows The C PIPER is first melted,
when the maSncsia, sal a%mmOniac, lime,
and tartar in powder, are added little
by little the crucible is now briskly
stirred for lalf an hour, SO as to mix
thoroughly, and then the zinc is added
in small grains by throwing it On the
surface and stirring it till it is entirely
fused :; the crucible is then covered and
the fusion maintained for about thirty
five minutes. The surface is then
SKINNED and the alloy is ready for cast
ing. The fincness of grain in this al
10y gives to those objects of art com
posed Of it, a delicacy and a purity of
detail that cannot be obtained from
bronze. The alloy is essentially ductile
and m~allcable, and can be cast, rolled.
drawn, stamped, chased, beaten into
powder, or leaves, or treated In any
other way the artezan may desire. Tho
discovery Of this new alloy is real
ly wonderful, and its use will have a
tendency to place within the reach OF
all the useful, ornamental and higher
products of art. An immense number
and amount of articles are manufacture
cd out of this alloy and sold South and
West, and none but excellent judges
can tell it from gold.

THE CouYrERFEIrs ON THE BANK OF New
0RLEANs.-Although the counterfeit
"Twenties" on the Bank of New Or
leans, with which the city was so sud-
denly flooded last Saturday, may APP
pear well executed, a closer eXamina-
ton will lead Immediately to the de-
lection of the counterfeit. We COM
pared the genuine with the counterfeit
notes this morning, at the counter of
the bank, and were shown the following
differences I:
In tie counterfeit the number Of the
note V the figure of Mercury on the
left side of the note, and repeated at
the top neal the right corner, is written
evidently by the same hand, whereas in
the genuine one is written by the audi.
tor and the other by the president. In
the counterfeit a gross defect can be
detected in the words countersigned
and registered" engraved around the
pelican on the left top corner ; a b has
been engraved for an r, and the word
reads "countebsigned." The words
"Bank of New Orleans" in the centre
of the note, are longer and Of larger
type in the genuine ; also the words
Twenty Dollars" and New Orleans
beneath. The distance between the
the words secured by pledge" and "oi
public stocks" at the bottom of the note
is greater in the genuine than in the
counterfeit.
The signature of NJ. Belly, cashier, i.
a very poor imitation, and the paper o
the counterfeit notes is of inferior quail
ity.-Picayune.

deemed it improper for tine Senate to

ing by law on him. lie asked Mr..
Breckenridge if his resolution extended
to Key West and Tortugas, il so, he
would never Withdraw the troops hence.
Mr.. Breckenridge supposed his reso-
luton embraced those points, but would
except them rather than hazard the de,
feat of the resolution. He did not con-
slider the withdrawal of the troops from
those forts essential to the public peace.
Mr.. Rice said if the seeded States

and would give them the forts and
arsenals for the sake of peace, but they
were not in possession of Key West OF
