HoUsrox's PosIrIoN IN TExAs.-The
Washington States says Of General
Houston:
"At the head Of the civil service, com
mander-in-chief by the rgt thereof Of the
army, General Houston has conceived the
bold plan Of establishing separate pepub-
lie on the original basis proposed by the
iunta thirty-five years ago. Although in
his old age and opposed by young and ar
dent men, we have not doubt that he
will prove successful. His views are not
only pleasing, plausible and fascinating
but they arc sound and practical. With
his characteristic eloquenee and artfulness,
no man is better fitted to parade them be-
fore the people. He has the precedent Of
history, the glory Of conquest and the
prestige Of a revolutionary character on
his side. He is, moreover, BY all odds, the
ablest leader in Texas. His standard will
excite an enthusiasm which will spreadlike
burning prairie all over the State, and
we shall See thousands flock to il at every
cross-roadp

gEThe editor of the Milwaukee Hfs-
consin was at Dubuque lately, and gives
the following in his notice of
A TRIP INTO THE LEAD REGION

A TRIP INTO THE LEAD REGION.
A little persuasion set our quadrupeds
into lively gait, and annie or two brought
us in sight Of the lead "diggins." We
passed several deserted, yawning caverns,
from which the material was derived that
may have somewhat injured the whiskered
Russian in the CfiInean ..tussle," or, later,
seriously aided in the subsection of Gaeta.
We halted opposite the largest shaft in the
yicinity-that Of Fred. Rebman- and pre-
pared for descent Of about two hundred
feet by rope, into the bowels Of the earth.
The trip down was accompanied by a PEI
culiar sensation Of utter dependence upon
the quality Of the hemp that sustained US.
But it was true to our hopes. We landed
in dark, mysterious opening, where by
the Pickering light Of a tallow candle, two
dirt-and-mud- besmeared figures were SHOW
cling the dusky, yellow earth. This open
inc extends over two miles under ground,
is entirely natural, and one Of the richest
leads struck of late. We procured several
specimens Of the shining galena, and pre-
pared to ascend. Our head scraped the
limestone off bnt twice; it was considered
10y us) remarkably successful visit. The
miners believe that lead is as much matter
of growth as any other plant, and is
fGoiiled as rapidly as the mineral in vege-
table matter decays and sinks through the
upper crust.
The annual product Of the lead diggings
about Dubuque is stated at S5,000,O00
lbs, or about $4,000 Pgs-the pigs aver
dying 70 lbs. each, and valued at 1928
per cwt. This would make the cash value
about $4,000 per year. Or nearly 5000
per day.

sTHIRTY Six TnIRTY-The reader who
is curious to know exactly where this Oft
mentioned line runs, will get a clear idea Of
t by taking the map and tracingit al fol-
lows: "It commences at the point Of the
Atlantic coast, where the dividing line be-
tween Virginia and North Carolina com
mences, passing along the line dividing
those States, along the line between Ten
nessee ard kentucky, along the line be-
tween the States ofAiissouri and Arakansas,
thence through the territory of the Chero-
kee nation, through New Mexico, striking
tue eastern boundary Of the State Of Cali
fornia, a short distance south Of the middle,
striking the Pacific short Distance south
of Monterey Bay. On the south Of that
line there are about 100000 square nils,
including Indian reservations, while on the
north there are about 100000 square
miles"

GeoIogical Survey.

Sen. Virgin, from committee on claims,
reported against printing 1000 copies Of
report Of Prof. Whitney and Hall on tie
Lead REGIONS Of the State.
Sen. Worthingson desired some reasons
assigned for this disposition Of the bill.
He thought it would be proper to look into
the subject little before rejecting the prop
osition. 1t is true that large sums have
been expended in this survey, and this fact
was to his mind good reason for fayoring
the printing Of this report, which has been
conducted by eminent men. 1t looks like
penny wise and pound foolish to keep this
report from the people. Ifitis thought
the finances Of the State viii not admit Of
its publication at the present time, he would
like that fact to appear on the Journal, but
did not approve of burying itlwithout a
word of explanation. He believedit would
prove Of vast benefit to the State, and
moved its reference to the finance commit
tee.
Sen. Virgin said he was opposed to any
further expenditure for this purpose until
an investigation was had The committee
on cliims have already passed on claims to
the amount Of $85,000, with all the large
appropriations for State Institutions still
unproyided for. The benefits to be derived
from the expenditure were considered doubt
ful, and the committee therefore reported as
they did.
Sen. Quentin, as one Of the committee to
examine the manuscript and recommend
ing the passage Of the bill, felt called on to
say few words. He had examined por-
tons of the manuscript and found it con
tanned large amount Of valuable inforna-
ton, which on being published wbnld help
our State abroad. Prof Hall was a man
Of extensive reputation, better Known III
Europe than in this country, and Professor
Whitney stands high among scientific men.
He believed the report on the lead regions,
which is complete in itself, should be pub
lished
Sen. Maxon explained the action Of the
committee on claims. All the representa-
tiyes from the mining districts are opposed
to this matter, and say they never derived
any benefit from this survey. If the State
is merely squandering money in this mat
ter it is high time to stop. He alluded to
the political acts Of Prof. Daniels, and his
campaigning. He did not think this apart
Of the Geological Survey, but it is q fact
that during this time he drew regularly
$500 quarterly from the State.
Considerable discussion followed, in
which Senators Bartlett, Philips, Worhing
ton and Quentin, argued for the printing,
and Senators Virgin, Maxon, Stewart and
Others against
1t was referred to finance committee
with instructions to report on propriety Of
printing 5000 copies, and also to report
expense Of Geological Survey since 1856.

The religion that is to oyermaster tie
skepticism Of this AGE needs to haze strong
points, a Well nit frame, decided features,
something that can be drawn and graspe,i
and held fast by the understanding, rs well

find stamped on The evangelical pages such
as the apostles practical, and such ouly as
martyrs haze died for. This il tile only
sort Of faith which has gained converts;
and swept the field al the world with the
gospel-net. Otherwise, the penetrating
man is apt to say, IF You undertake 70
abri1ge, and reduce, and soften our relig-
ion and its requirements, till it is eniaclila-
ted, it answers neither one purpose nor
another; it is not 50 good as no religion 1T
all for the pleasures Of this life, and il has
not body or edges enough to hold ont a
very cersain promise Of aliie g come. No.;

would think it &orth revelation
to reveal; and, if | am 70 haze only
some diluted, plant, complainant substitute,
achieving nothing, because insisting on
nothing and threatening, then excuse me if
! prefer to stand without the masquerade
altogether" A curious chapter might
readily Be written, in the theological anaiy-
sis of the times, showing how often those
who are on ground fartherest from faith
choose at last a doctrine CT some decisive
and evangelical body, over the poor COM
ponds that try to be popular til their com
prehensiveness takes such latitude is to-
comprehend Judas and Simon Magns, and
possibly Satan himself.

Archbishop Hughes is determined chat,
although there may be a schism between
the North and South, there shall b. no
schism in the Catholic Church growing
out of the same cause, if he can preyehs
it, On St Patlick's day the Archbishop
lectured at Irving Hall, New Yogk, and
towards the close Of his address took occa-
sion TO say chat. although the North and
South .talked about division and civil war,
there was but one rule for a Catholic,
wherever he was; that was to do his duty
as a citizen. If living south Of Mason
and Dixon's line, he thought these on that
side were right, he ought to fight there;
anu if we, the Catholics north Of that line,
thought the other wayne would fight too.
No matter how wide the chasm might be
made between the North and the South,
in their political relations, "they could i9t
divide the Catholics on both sides Of that
line, who, 50 far as their religion was con-
cerned, could throw bridge over the

This New Republic.


Alex. II. Stephens, Yice-P President Of
the Cotton Republic, has been making a
speech at Atlanta. Georgia. His theme
is the superiority Of the Constitution Of the
new JEFF. Davis Confedelaey over that Of
the United States. Having sworn fidelity
in turn to each Of them, Mr.. Stephens
ought to understand their points Of re-
sembIance and Of difference, and his speeches
are always to the purpose. Hear him.
"A grand difference between the old and
new Constitution was this, said Mr.. Steph-
ems in the old Constitution, the Fathers
looked upon the fallacy Of the equality Of
races as underlying the foundations Of re-
publican liberty. Jefferson, Madison,
Washington and many others, were tender
of the word slave in the organic law, and
all looked forward 10 the time when the
Institution Ct S7auery should Be removed
from or midst as trouble and STUN
bling-bock. The deIusion could not be-
traced in. any of the component parts OF
the Southern Constitution. In that in
strument, we solemenly discarded the pes
tilent heresy Of fancy politicians, that all
men, Of all race, were equal, and we had
made African inequality and subo.dination,
and the equality Of white man, the chief
cornerstone Of the Southern Republic"
Mr.. Jefferson was foremost among those
whom Mr.. Stephens 50 slightingly terms
nfancy politicians" but Gen. Washington,
though no Democrat, and all the patriots
Of our heroic age, were tainted with his
heresies. They all, as Mr.. Stephens says,
"were tender Of the word Slave and
"Iooked forward to the time when the in
astitution Of Slavery should be removed
"lrom our midst;T and in this spirit the
Federal Constitution WAS framed. Mr..
Stephens is not accurate in asserting that
the Fathers affirmed "the equality Of
races" they no more affirmed this than
the uniformity Of colorsor of statute. What
they did affirm YVES the equality Of human
rights, despite all diversites OF color, ca
pacity, stature, culture, and ability. Tom
| Thumb Is not equal in hight tc the Belgian
Giant deaf and dumb man is not equal
ia natural Gifts to one who possesses all
human faculties; BIZ their equal rights as
human beings are not affected by these diff
ferences.
But what we wished our readers to COM
b a end most clearly is that the Jef.D Davis
! Confederacy IS founded on directly antago-
mist psinciples TO those ofJefierson and the
Fathers---its own Yice-President being

confiscatIon OF Private Property

Al rumor has been afioat for some days
that the Insurance. money Of a prominent
manufacturer in this city, due him from
New York Insurance Companies, had been
attached in New York by creditor Of
the city of Milwaukee. Upon inquiry we
find such to be the fact. In one case. the
suit is upon a bond Of one thousand dollars
falling due in 1858, with interest at ten
per cent. per annum since that time. The
ground taken is, that the property of the
citizen is holden. or can be taken to pay
the debt Of the town or city Of which he
is resident. If this should prove to be
the case, then what endless trouble is to
accrue to our business men. No citizen of
Milwaukee can have money due him in
New York, or purchase goods there with
out being liable to have them taken on
some city debt. And what will be the
remedy for the citizen9 Why, sue the
city, Get judgment for his property thus
taken, and then take the property Of some
other citizen, and so on, to the end OF the
chapter. Mlacatkee Free Democrat.
