ia-The Le 'sla!tf(assemled * .4tity and'orga ed r-th8election of Dr. Ed. P.-Scott .atj;Speaker of -the Senate, and Joel -olleman. Speaker of the House. The Message of Governor - M'Dowellwas received the name day. It is a documneut of very remarkable, ability and interest, con6fed wholly to the af fairs of the State, and treating of tbese in - a waytogive then. additional dignity. We shall quote largely from it at the earliest opportunity. . At present we extract a passage referring to a subject of common interest to Virginia and South Carolina. ,It would have been highly gratifying to report to the Legislature at the begin-. Ding of its labors, that the-act of the last session authorizing the Executive, upon edrin conditions, t6 suspend the law subjecting to.inspection the vessels wbicb. entered the., ports of Virginia from the Statesof New York, had been fully carried into effect, and that thus every remnant of a'ainful controversy, and a still more painfulsubject of 'Controversy, between these sister States,had been happily and drpver-disposed of. I regret, however, to inform you, that no change having taken place in the legal attitude of New York, upon ihe general subject to which the in speetion of her vessels relates, no oppor tunity has been afforded for the Executivej lexercise of your conditional authority. frIi, -ievertheles, hoped, and confidently hoped, that this attidtude will be fully re linquished by every pan't- of her Govern ment;:that-the continued sanction of that great State will not be- given by her 'Legislature to -enactments which have no support in the-. Constitution, in the laws, nor in the judicial decisions of the Federal Government, and which, opera ting mainly upon a structure of society and of interests exterior to her own, can have no other practical effect than the fa. tal one of soinvadiog the peace and secu rity and rights of her sister Common wealth, as to threaten" the union of them all with -"violence and couvulhion. 11, however, 'nothing should at last be done, and tie matters at issue between us be left as they are, Virginia can not but deplore such an event more than.. ever, because more than ever portending a period when she and every other Southern 'State may be compelled to appeal to their own rights of reversed.and ultimate sovereignity for that perfect safety, which they had fond ly hoped it was competent to their Fede ral cormpact to afford." - REPUBLICAN OFFICE, SAvAr IaB, Dec. 14. Firn Florida.-By the arrival of the steamer St. Mathews, Capt. Hebbard. we have the St. Augtistine Herald of the 5th inst. The Revenue cutter Crawford, Capt. Day, arrived at St. Augustine on the 5tb inst., from Savannah,'and sailed for Mos quitd on the 8th. The Herald of the 12th inst. says, the Crawford cruised as far south as Cape Canaveral, touching at Mosquito. The Crawford's visit there was for the purpose of ascertaining wheth etany depredations-were being commit ted upon public lands by' Live Oak cut ters. Lieutenant- Whitehead, and six men were left at Smyrna. ' The C. left at Mos quito brig Roxona, Swift, waiting for a cargo of Live Oak, and'schr. Louisiana, Marsh, with a full cargo. The Hautover.-The Herald of the 5th . saya-Lt.: J. E. Blake, U. S. Top. En gineers returned on Friday last- having completed the survey of the haulover be twreen Indian' river and Mosquito Lagoon. We learn that the distance to be cut thro' is about 72,5 yards, and the summit-level 7 1-2 feet. Theexpense of cutting is es timated at about $3,000, a trifle when compared with the resulting -advantages. We sincerely hope that those having ihe authority will permit the work to 'be done -in-the manner-contemplated. From the Savan'A Republicn. 14th inst.

In the prairie lands both in, this State and Mississippi, it will be impossible to pick cotton for some time to come, these lands heing too boggy and muddy.

Some old diffl'culties are alluded to, as well as the more recent contempt shown to the British flag at a party where the British Minister was present, and, what is probably more grevious than all the rest. the restriction tariff of Santa Anna, injurious to British trade. Sir Charles thinks'to do something by way' of remedy. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 5. The steamer Neptune, Capt. Rollins, arrived last evening from Galveston. By her we have papers from that place to Saturday last, and from other parts of Texas to corresponding dates. The U. S. schooner Flirt, returned to Galveston from Vera Cruz, .on the 22d ult. She brought letters from the U. S. Minister in Mexico, to Gen. Murphy, our Charge in Texas; but the nature of the despatches had not transpired. A second attempt was made on the 22d, to sell the vessels of the Texan navy by public 'auction; but without success no bid being offered. Nearly the entire population of Galyesion, including the military companies in their parade dress, attended at the place where the sale was to be held, but there was no violence or disturbance of the peace. Exchequer bills of Texas are taken at par at the Custom House at Galveston. In private transactions they are worth from 90 to 95 cents. At Washington, the Vindicator states, they are current in ordinary business at par. Dr. Anson Jones is said to be the favo rite candidate of the patty which supports the present Administration . for the Presi dency. The Washington Vindicator of the 25th, says that Col. Hays arrived at Washing ton on the 23d, and reports that all is quiet in the West, all the Mexican troops having been withdrawn from this side of the Rio Grande. Some small traders had been into Bexar, but business was limited. From th'Souhern Pairiot. TEXAS. Mr. Editor: So much has been written and said of the glorious character of Tex as as a place-of residence,- so much has been told of its healthiness-its prosperity and .great advantages for enterprising young..men, that I am induced to ofer you the experience of one who has lived there for the last six years, so that those who are disposed to emigrate may have a fair view of what they will undoutedly have to encounter, if they locate in Texas. "Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Texas to a friend in this city: Txs, Nov. 18, 1843. ** * .I would like to know what you think of us poor mortals here in Texas. Whatever you may think, I believe you would have pities us if you could have seen us last summer. Such a scene of sickness, I never witnessed before-though I have as you well knew seen some pretty tough times that way, nor was the like ever known in the recollection of the old est settlers. Every family has been sick, hardly an individual even has es caped. ' The' prevailing epidemic has been the congestive fever. All of E.'s family have had. the disease. I have been sick since June with the chills ans fever. It is another kind of a disease to the fever and ague of the North--It has reduced me to a complete skeleton, and still I cannot get rid of it. I have almost concluded to quit Texas. The "hard times" are getting; a "lettle" too hard for me. *** The whole country appears to be in a sinking condition, and off'ers no openings to a young man. No money, no immigration and no prospects of chan ging for the better until Mexico acknow ledges our Independence, and that she never will do until compelled by force of arms-or intervention of other nation,'. There has been some hopes of an annexa tion to the United States but I have none. Many persons are leaving Texas, and re turning to the United States. * @ The mercbants do a Cottori business, buy itng and selling entirety for that article, without seeing any money, or if~ any, but very little indeed. This fall there has been almost incessant rains, causing a great loss in the Cotton crop. Many plan tations have been overflown, thereby des troying tlte entire crop on some, and great ly injuring it on others. The only f'avora-. ble thing ini all Texas, that I can inform you of, ts the rise of the Exchequer Bills. They are now at par or nearly so--as there is considerable demand for them to pay Custom House dues. Congress meets in *bout two weeks&-and this makes another great expense to the coun try, without any benefit. You would be surprised, and would form a contemptible opinion of. the citizens of Texas if you could see- the members elect or some of the counties.a They are the most common men, of the: most ordinary talents. I might almost say of none at all. ** * * -The Presidential election is also in abi tation, several candidatcs iave been brought out onaong whunm is Edward Bur lesen, now vice 1I;esidenit. a man of but lit tle sintelligence or capability and who owes his popularivy to, his many 1ndian fights.

When ibe latter is accomplished, the en terprisingjtetnn will bring het~ up to Atrocious Murder.--The East Alabam ian of, saturday siys-The townof 'Tus kegee, in Macon county, was; on.last Mon day, the scene of the most atrocious mur der that has ever been.committed even in. this land of the Bowie Knife and Pistol. The circumstances as they are reported here are these:-Mr. Freeman, a citizen of this county and well known in this place, had gone down to the plantation of Arnold Seals.in Macon county,accompan ied by an officer with a writ of execution issued from this county, and had levied on a negro, the property di one Vann, the son-in-law of Seals, and the defendant in the writ. The negro was taken by the officer and Freeman to Tuskegee, and as they reached that place, Seals and Vann, armed with guns, came in pursuit, avow ing their intention to kill Freeman. Upon their coming up, Freeman got behind the hailiff and begged hard for his life; but Seals was relentless and shot him. at the distance of only three or four feet, through both thighs. as he clung to the officer. Vann was with difficulty prevented from shooting, after he had fallen. The unfor tunate man died in two or-three hours, of lock jaw; and the murderers having wai ted to assure themselves ofhis death started for the Republic of Texas. FROM OREGON. The Bloomington (Iowa) Herald says We have been permitted to make the following extracts from a letter written by Win. T. Perry, formerly of this coun ty, to Messrs. Collier and Sherley. It is dated Oregon city, March 30, 1843. "I arrived at the settlement in Oregon on the 29th September, where I have re mained ever since, at work at my trade, (carpenter,) as I was, of course compelled to, after spending all I had to get here; but I have done well, being now worth more than when I left Iowa. We have not been sick a day since we left the States. Hannah Abel was married in two weeks after we arrived here-she has done well. [Quick business that-great country that for unmarried gals.] Now :o the country, which is not as I expected to find it. It is rough and broken, and generally heavy timbered, principally with fir, yellow pine, cedar, hemlock, spruce, oak, ash and maple. It is well watered, and about one-tenth prairie of excellent quality. The ti-nbered land is also excellent for farming. In the streams, there is abundance of fish, among which are the finest salmon in the world. "There is enough to live on in this country. The inhabitants are generally good farmers, raising large quantities of grain, and have from 40 to 100 head of cattle, 20 to 60 head of hogs, and horses without number. Clothing is cheaper here than in Iowa. There is rnothing. to be found in your stores but what we have an abundance of, and at a cheaper rate, as they are brought here free of duty. Nothing will bear exportation from Iowa, except good rifles. 'T'hey are worth about $50 in this country. Good cows will sell at from $30 to $50 per head. "Several of our company are dissatis fied with the country, and contemplate going to California this spring. For my part, I am well satisfied, and expect to end my days in Oregon. This place (Oregon City) is situated at the head of navigation, and at the foot of Wallamut Falls, one of the greatest water-powers in the world. It contains twelve dwelling houses, three stores, one blacksmith's shop, one cooper's shop, two saw mills and one gristmtill are in operation, and another of 3 run of stones is to be erected this Summer. 1 get 83 a day for my work, and tools furnished. Common la bor is worth $1 y5 per day, without board. No ardent sptrits in this country. "WILLIAM T. PERRY." REM1ARKs. What a blockhead this Mr. Perry must be! "Clothing cheaper here than in Iowa," says he. "There is nothing to be found in your stores but what we bave a plenty of and at a cheaper rate, as they are brought hero free of duty." Don't you know, Mr. Perry, that high- duties snakes goods cheaper? You are altogeth er mistaken, as every Tariff man East of the Stony mountains will tell you. We shall enforce ou.- Tariff upon you present ly, and then you wrill see. Seriously, hero is a seeluded region where the blessings of our Tariff do not reach. A carpenter gets 33 a day, and a laborer 31 75, and both can buy goods cheaper thau in our Tariff-ridden land. Would it be a benefit to :hem to make goods higher? Howr would the carpenter and laborer of Oregon be benefited by cotnpelling them to buy at higher p~rices the manufactures of Lowell o'r Nashua? And, if they cannot be beneftted by sutch a policy, how carn the carpenters, laborers, or farmers of Iowa? And, if not of Iowa, how can it benefit any, portion of the me chanic, farming. planiing, trading, or professional itetrests, whether ffy or four thiousandi miles from the manufactories? He wrho will fix his thoughts upon the simple matters of fact, stated by this plain carpenter, will bet'er tundersttand the T a riff policy, that) l' could by readig a thou sand speeches of your Clays, and your Websters, or ten thousand pages of fine s pun argument.-Kentdall's Expositor. Etraordinary Longevity.--T here is a negro woman no)w living in the parish of West Felicianna, who (the Bayou Sara Ledger says,) has attained the age of about a century and a half. Incredible as this rmay appear, it can be established by the best of evidence. She belonged to a gentleman whose ancestors .were re markable for. long life; his ,father and mother both reaching the age of ninety; they recollected her in their infancy as a middle-aged woman, and it is 20) years since- they died. She is an African by birth, left two children there, and. was owaed by the family before the father of the present owner was born. Pay the Printer.-The die. astrous con seqnenee of. neglecting to pay the printer, are clearly seen in the annexed paragraph from the Mississippian. "The Bankrupt.

Md Sanderztille Telucope. We published a fow days since, an ex tract from a letter dated at -Columbus Miss., addressed to a house in this city, de taming some of the disastrous effects of the late 'vet and inclement weather upon the ungathered cotton: The annexed extrac from a letter written by a large planter iti the same section of country, but not in tha same neighborhood, is confirmatory o these unfavorable accounts : Waverly. Miss.. Dec. 3.-Not a bell o cotton has been picked for more than twa weeks, during which time we have no seen the sun, nor have we scarcely been ou of doors. On an averge, one third or more of the crop in the field, in many instance one half, and this badly, seriously injured The weather is now fair, but the fields to muddy and wet to work in, and wet weath er springs running out of every declivity Mobile Shipping List A M1arriage in Jail.-A short time bael an individual by the name of Henry Lin ker, arrived in this city from the Stateo Ohio, from whence he had fled to escape a love affair, in which he had become in volved. Information- of that fact . having been forwarded to this city, he was-ar rested upon a charge of "breach of prom ise," and, in default of security, was com mitted to jail. The deluded object - o his plighted. vows-she to whom he ha' knelt in moments of impassioned love and swore fidelity-also arrived in thi city a few days since,- and was yesterda; joined in the holy bands of matrimon: within the prison, walls of our county jail Bali. Clipper. Dont le! them Dodge.-We call upo our democratic friends to see that the Fed eral Whigs are not permitted to dodge ni the question of the Tariff. Pin the'n.dowi to their principles. They are trying to pro duce the impression in the South that the are in favor of a revenue tarif'- susife them not tosuceed in producing thiafals impression. Henry Clay, their ackowl edged leader, has been and row is the fa ther and advocate of the unjust and oppres sive American System. Never let this al important truth be lost sight of. As these Federal Whigs leaders what the want with a protective tariff'. What d they wish to protect ? Our national induu try, say they ?-Well, we all go for this but W'hat sort of industry ? The indua try of the manufacturer, they will answe How ? In what ? By equal laws Ah !"There's the rub !" That questio kills them. Do they talk of protectin the planters anti farmers? No !-Henr Clay says the farmers "NEED- N( PROTECTION." Whom, then can h prop)ose to protect but the rich maufactor ers ? And how can he protect them withi ont injuring the farmers ? Again we say keep them const antly to the question. Make them stand by their principles, utn less they solemnly promise to renounc themi, repent and do better. - Raleigh Standard.
