IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS

GALVESTON, Texas, Jan. 29.-Of t'ne 80
members of She Texas Legislature, only IL
are eo-operationists. The special commit-
tee has reported III favor OF saneeoriDg 4
convention.
But little attention is paid 10 tde Cover
nor's message, which favors delay as long
as possible He opposes a peoples conven-
tion and thinks the Union can be pre-
served.
A resolution delaying secession was twice
tabled to-day.
The military comtaittee are preparing Il
bill to put the State N a complete. military
position.
Rumors are IN circulation that d body Of
men are moving on san Antonio to take
the arsenal General Twige5 has called in
the troops to protect it,
The Knights OF the Golden Circle have Of
lered him their services.
Gen. Twigss denies the report Of his re-
siguation, but has informed the President
that he will not use his sword against his
countrymen. Tie says when a proper de
mand is made by Texas he viii hand over
the arsenal to her authority.

one end of the cylinder is thrust stopper,
the inside of which holds writing pen
In the other end is similar stopper, to
which is attached bottle of copying ink.
AS writing paper and envelopes can be car
ried in the book, we thus have a complete
writing and copying apparatus all together
in a small space.
The process OF copying is very simple
The written sheet is placed against one Of
the copying sheets dampened and an oiled
sheet applied as usual. Then the book is
rolled tightly around the cylinder by the
hands which press tightly against the stiff
sheet Of oil cloth forming the cover to the
book. After the pressure is continued a
few moments, the book is unrolled from the
cylinder and tile copy is complete. When
the paper in the book is all used it can be
readily renewed. Any copying ink can be
used.
This apparatus is just the thing to supply
popular want. For further particulars
apply at the Library Rooms. ian3l-ltd.

Mr.. Coltax reminded Mr.. Logan that the
Speaker was absent, and three members
from Illinois had already had the floor.
Mr.. Logan am speaking for myself
not Illinois.
Mr. Covode asked if these proceedings
were in order.
Mr. Logan.-Such favoritism is detestable
and damnable.
Mr. Morris of Pa. said the question was
whether the Union shall be dissolved or
not The question of slavery must be re-
mauded to the people as Congress could not
settle it. He was willing to vote for the
proposition of the committee on the border
state plan or submit it to the people. He
had no fear Of the people and they should
have a chance to vote on them if they
wanted It. He said if Constitution was
framed at Montgomery it would rest on the
bayonets of military despotism. He
said that Lincoln was most conservative Of
all the Presidential candidates. Coercion
was on the part Of the seeding states-not
the government which has the right and it
is its duty to defend its existence.
Adjourned.

NAPLEs.-The bombardment of Gaeta is
to be resumed Monday. 1t Is not true that
the ships of any foreign power are to take
the place Of the French fleet. The Sardini-
ans are resolved to attack Gaeta by sea i'm
mediately
ENGLAND-The Times city article says
the amount of e35OOO in gold had been
withdrawn from the Bank of France. The
Times deprecates the secession movement in
America and says should the Southern con-
federacy become the real United States, as
far as present and prospective territory is
concerned il is doubtful whether the connec-
ton between New York and New England
on one hand and Illinois and the neighbor-
ing States on the other could long survive
total separation from the South.

f7s We clip the following deservedly
catering notice of Behm's Commercial
College in Ibis city, from the Southern Illi-
noisan, published at Shawneetown, Illinois.
We commend it to the yonng men and bust
ness men of our city and the surrounding
country:
EVANSVILLE COMMERCIAL COLLEGE, u n
der the energetic supervision of its founder
and principal, JEREMIAH Benin, this institu-
ton has been in successful operation over
seven years. and, in fact, become one of the
fixed establishments of the country. He
certainly deserves the highest praise from
the business community of this section Of
the West for his success in building up a
first class institution So beneficial in its re-
suits to their united interests, and we but
perform a pleasing task in noticing its
highly ilourishng condition.
No individual should embark into bust
ness of any kind whatever without first
having acquired the knowledge of a thor
ough accountant, as such information is as
necessary TO success in business as the
compass is to the mariner in the successful
navigation OF the seas, and time and money
could not be better or more profitably spent
10y the young man intending 10 engage in a
commercial pursuit than in the requirement
OF such knowledge.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Union men are
much encouraged by the prompt response
to the invitation for Commissioners to meet
here on the 4th OF February, and it is be-
lieved that Us action will command the sup
port OF a large majority of Congress.
The Fugitive Slave Law, introduced to-
day by Douglas, is considered a thorough
and effective measure Of obviating the OBJ
jcctions to the present statute.
The great point now aimed at by Union
men is to avoid all pretext for collision by
seeding States, ii the hope that the second
sober thought of the people, if adjustment
measures are presented, will induce them to
resume their places III the Union.
The repeal of the personal liberty bill by
Rhode Island and the action Of the Ohio
Legislature are hailed as hafbingers of
peace. Affairs wear a more hopeful aspect.
Secretary Dix has instructed Commanders
OF Revenue Cutters il attacked to make
the best defense in their power, and if as
sailed by a superior force to run their YES
sells ashore and blow them up. He has
also written to the Collector of New Or
leans to apply to the Governor of Louisiana
to revoke the seizure of the Government
Hospital, and ordering 260 patients to be
removed. Dix denounces it as IN act OF
outrageous barbarity, disgraccfnl to any
age or country.

CHARLESTON, Jan. 29.-The Courier and
Mercury Of this morning say that a large
war steamer was seen off the harbor at dusk
on Saturday, aud that she showed signals
and stood to the southwark. It is surmised
that she Is still towering off the neighboriug
coast.
Last night negro came to the city and
informed his master that suspicious craft
was seen yesterday near Church's Flat with
20 men on board. The men wore no uni
form and appeared to be without arms. 1t
is thought from this that an attempt is
about to be made to pounce down on the
plantations.
The Legislature adjourned sine die last
night.

SO, representing so, 600 workingmen, this
morning waited on Senators Crittenden aud
Cameron at their respective residences.
They were introduced by Senator Bgler in
brief appropriate address. J. B. Nicholson

periodically. He stated that the object OF

represented; that the desire for a settlement
of our national difficulties on a satisfactory
basis and that the proposition of the Sena-
tor from KY, was heartily endorsed by them
and that they wished its adoption urged.
The Senators feelingly and hopefully
responded. The number of federal troops
who arrived here last night is IS, making
in all less than 800. These are divided into
three companies Of artillery and one of i'll
fantry Arrangements have been made for
concentrating them at any particular point

Of the public peace.
Acting P. NJ. General King has received
complaints from northern gentlemen that
their letters from the South have been vio-
lated One writes that six letters addressed
to him by lady in Mobile not on political
subjects have evidently been opened by
unauthorized parties. The Department has
promptly instituted an investigation.
