COTTON IN TEXAS.
From recent letter from a promi.

ton. Texas, we are permitted to take the
annexed facts. The writers estimate
the stock of cotton now'on hand in Tex.
as at 10000 bales exclusive of that Dor.
dering on Red River and tributary to
New Orleans. Their figures are as fol-
lows: Stock September 1st 1851, 49,.
900 bales; three years crop 222, 900, to.
tai 100000. Exports direct 10000 /;
through Mexico 100000; home con.
sumption 10000 damaged $4,000 to.
tai 100000. OF the growing crops
they say, about three.fourths of an aver.
age has been planted, which would give
10000 to 100000 bales. Tho total,
therefore, we can expect from Texas,
both Of the old and new crops; is
100000 bales. This is exclusive OF
what reaches the market by way Of
Red River. All accounts state that
there is quite large quantity of Che old
crop still along the line OF that stream.
OF the new crop growing in the Red
River country, we lave heard nothing
as yet.

Late advices from Georgia state that

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUrE.-When the re-
mains of our late President arrived in
Chicago, the people all bowed themselves
in grief and heartfelt sorrow. The Hon.
Schuyler Colfax accompanied the remains,
and on Sunday evening he addressed a
vast audience in Chicago, in terms Of
glowing eulogy of the honored dead. He
said:
Abraham Lincoln was the only man
living who could have stood in the breach
between the leaders Of the rebellion and
the wrath of the country. There was a
trust in him, almost flial in its loving
confidence, that whatever he might resolve
on would prove in the end for the best.
The speaker referred to his intimate &C.
quaintance with the late President, and
said he seemed wholly free from ill-will.
Attacked ever so sharply, he never an
swered railing with railing. Criticised
ever so unjustly. he would give no word
of reproof but if he answered at all,
would patiently seek to show that he
stood on the rock Of Right. Murdered,
cofined. buried, he lives; lives as the
father Of the faithful in the times that tried
mems souls-lives in the hearts Of the
dark browed race he raised to freedom
lives with every circle that has given one
to die as he did for bis country-lives
with the glorious company Of martyrs to
liberty, justice and humanity. He leaves
behind him a record that shows how
honesty and principle lifted him from the
humblest walks Of the people to the
noblest ItatioN on the globe, and a name
that shall brighten under the eye Of his.

NOW AND THEN,

Fred. Douglass intends starting paper
az Baltimore.-Ezchdnge.
Fred. Douglass could not have walked,
openly, in the streets of Baltimore, with
safety. four years ago; and now he talks
of going down to Maryland to enlishsen
and instruct the chivalry. Well, that IS
the place for him. He can go down there
to his native State and teach his old mas
tiers many things, which it would have
been . great benefit for them TO have
known few years ago. and which, II e1'
perience has not taught them already, it
is quite proper they should speedily Learn.
Thirty years ago, Fred. Douglass was
slave in Maryland; regarded BY the
ehivalry of that State as incapable OF
governing himself. He thought different
however, and took French leave of his
driver, and came North. For the past
four years, in the sauctum, and on the
stump, in the pulpit, and in private, he
has been laboring with might and main TO
save the Union, while his old masters
have been using every cowardly means
to destroy it.

pIcHARD coBDEN.

Friend after friend DEPARTS but no
xor,hier breign friend to our country has
vanished from our gaze than Richard
Golden, one of England's greater lights.
He was in every sense man. His sterl-
ing good sense. democratic instincts,
sympathy with the English working
classes, and tolerance of opinion, coupled
with uutinng energy and undaunted zeal,
raised him from the humble walks Of life
to an elevated position in his native coun-
try. and gained him an influence second
to none. The nobility respected and feared
him. Royalisy-though not q toy of his
choice-stood ready to do him honor.
America loses an earnest and constant
friend, the world benefactor, England a
true patriot, his only compeer and bosom
friend, John Bright, his right hand man.
Late will be the day when his memory
will cease to be green in both lands, and
long will it be before the race that pro-
duced him-fruitful in great men-will
produce his superior.

KNOXVILLE, May %.
Capt. Wells, with 85 men, found the In.
dams strongly fortified on table mountain
about l25 miles northeast from Unionville on
the 10Th, on the north side Of the Humboldt
river. The Indians challenged them to CON-
bat, and fourished something supposed to be
the scalp OF white man, and invited the SOL
diers TO come and take breakfast. The SOL
diers attacked them at 3P. y. and fought
them in their Notifications four hours. Two
soldiers were killed, named Godfrey and
Munroe, within thirty feet Of the enemy's
breastworks, and their bodies, together with
their arms and ammunition, fell into the enc
my's hands Three others were wounded
one severely. He came near being oyertaken
by the Indians, and lost his carbine while
fleeing from them. They camped on the
ground that night, and from the number Of
camp, fires it was evident that they were sur
rounded. The next morning ten men were
sent out to see II their retreat was cut of, and
the rest Of the command shortly followed.
Before leaving the camp in the morning, the
Indians showed themselves upon the noun
tain where they had the 6ght the previous
day in great numbers. The mountain looked
like one moving mass Of Indians, and they
were supposed to be 500 or 600 strong. In
the afternoon they overlook the scouts and
found them surrounded, and were just in
time to save them from annihilation.-Vr-

PROSPECTING. - Great many lodges
which have been discovered IN various
parts of our State, have never yet been
prospected. principally for the reason that
thew are 90 far removed from mills, that
the expense of getting Quantities Of rock
crushed now and then, is so great that
none at all are tested. It makes little mat
tiers how rich ledge may be, If none OF
the rock is worked BY mill process to
definitely determine its value, stockholders
will not long pay assessments to carry on
prospecting. What prospectors have long
wanted has been portable mill, one that
can be carried over our rough country to
new districts and set up by themselves to
test the ore of the new discovered lodges
as they are developed. From the Reese
River Reveille we learn that small mill
worked with one horse, and that not the
most powerful, has been set up out in
that section, and has been found to be
capable of being worked with profit. We
are confident that if some of our ma
chinists or mill men would devise and
construct portable mill, which would be
light, cheap and efficient. they would find
q ready market. 1t certainly would be
of incalculable benefit to the country.

WANTED.

/
Several weeks since we entered Q pro-
test against the stopping Of recruiting on
this coast. Of course. in obedience to a
General Order from Washington, there
must have been temporary stop to en-
listing in California and Nevada; bat a
proper statement and recommendation
from General Mcdowell would have Sc
cured the renewal Of recruiting here and
in the coast State. We pointed out ex-
actly the need for more troops, and felt it
to be no prophetic assumption to say that
there would soon be an alarming proof OF
all our declarations in the premises. But
our present lamentable deficiency in mill
tary force is to be traced Immediately to
the stopping of recruiting year since |;
which was procured by q false representa-
ton to headquarters at Washington,-the
real reason for this outrage being the OBJ
lection Col. Drum, as Asst. Adj. General
to the " fanatical ii. e. Union-charac-
ter of the commissioned field officers oil
the infantry regiment. At the time OF
ceasing to recruit. the preparations were
made that would have filed the regl-
ment within three months therefrom.
So Governor Nye himself stated. A
simple statement of the facts in the case
made tardily. as reliance was first and
mistakenly placed in McDowell-was SUI
icient to procure an order re-essabhsh'ns
the recruitment; but the suspicious time
for quick filing of companies had for
various reasons, passed. Men who were
most suitable for the place would not take
a Cap,aincy, where they were liable at
any moment to be entirely deprived OF the
fruits of their recruiting services and ex-
pendltures. And Governor Blasdel ap-
nesred TO take the advice Of those whose
personal interest was somehow connected
with the keeping Of the Nevada force OF
volunteers within existing numeral limits.
All this is capable of most abundant veri-
fication. Now, here we are, with a gen
uine Indian war threatening US, nay,
upon US. No troops! We undertake to
saw that if there was not soldier in the
State the people would be full as well of
as now. Because there viii be too much
and perhaps extensively fatal reliance upon
force utterly inadequate for protection.
A contemporary suggests that there be a
call for five or six hundred California
troops. We doubt if We could procure
so many but unquessionably it is it that
such a call be made. Nevade troops
few in number as they are-have protect
ed the Overland route, and are now pro-
tectiug it from the the State line to Fort
Bridger; and this mail route Il Of far
more consequence to California than to
US. If additional forces be given, one Of
our own energetic field officers should be
placed in command. If there is any war
within the boundaries OF the State, the
little commonwealth that has raised nine
hundred volunteers under difficulties such
as recruiting officers have nowhere else
encountered, our own officers should have
the entire command; especially where
such provision would place an able, de-
termined and brave Lieut.. Colonel in q
position that now eminently requires such
character of a man for q leader and
fighter.

Only Loyal People Allowed - get
Married or Transact Business.

MARRIED or TRANSACT BUSINESS
About the lst of May, General Halleck
issued an order at Richmond which sets
at rest the doubts of the anxious respect
ing his disposition to leniency with rebels.
He announces that Clerks of Courts of
Record in Richmond and Petersburg, at.
torneys, corporation officers, and per-
sons engaged in any trade or business, will
be permitted to pursue their functions on
taking the oath of allegiance, and not
otherwise. Persons who enter claims in
the courts for the restoration of private
property, must also take the oath. So
must every person who wants to ship or
receive any goods whatever. But the
most startling order is this:
mo marriage license shall be issued
until the parties desiring to be married
shall take the oath of allegiance to the
United States, and no clergyman. magis-
trate, or other person authorized by State
laws to perform the marriage ceremony,
will officiate in such capacity until he
himself and the parties contracting matri-
mony have taken the prescribed oath OF
allegiance"
Persons acting in violation Of these
orders to be arrested at once.
