It is said that Chang and Eng, the Siamese twins, ditfer in politics. Both are veteran Democrats, but Chang is now for Breckinridge and Eng for Douglas. Sherman, the late Black Republican candidate for Speaker, is of the opinion that Douglas can carry Illinois, and no other State North or South. A bee tree was found last week eight miles from Henderson, Texas, containing twelve feet of sealed honey-comb, weighing (after all the adjacent families had eaten thereof to their satisfaction) two hundred and sixty-seven pounds.

We learn that eight or ten were baptized on Sunday last.?Anderson Gazette. The census returns from Illinois already received at the Bureau in Washington, indicate the total population of that State to be 1,800,000 in 1860. On the basis of one Congressman to every 120,000 inhabitants, it will now be entitled to fifteen members of Congrees instead of nine. Statements are made to the effect that there are now 1,300,000 bales of cotton stored in and about Liverpool, and in order to watch the warehouses efficiently, and prevent any fires which might break out gaining head, twenty additional police officers bad been added to the fire brigade. If what Mr. Solomon Pangborn, of Rising Sun, Ind., says, is true, he may rightly claim to be the oldest man in the United States. He says that he was born in the City of New York, a small town of five or six hundred houses, in 1728. He is consequently 135 years old. There has been a brilliant exhibition of water gas at the Girard House, Philadelphia, under the auspices of the Keystone Gas Company, to the members of the press and other citizens. Three-fourths of the hotel is now lighted by this gas, at an expense not exceeding fifty cents a thousand feet. The sum of 86,150, contributed in the United States for the benefit of old Brown's family, was distributed among them a few days ago. The widow and three small children received 82,250, John Brown, Jr., 81,000, Wasson Brown's widow S800, Wm. Thompson's widow, 8500, and the others the balance. Gen. Lane visited Buncombe County, N. C., and the place of his birth, on Tuesday last. On the same day, be was presented to a circle of twenty-five blood relations whom he had never seen, and who had grown up around the old family tree. The emigrating fever makes strange changes in families. A Frenchman, having heard the . wprd "press" made use of to imply, persuade, press that gentleman to take some refreshments, press him to stay, etc.,? thought he would show bis talents by using (what he imagined) a synonymous term ; and he therefore, made no scruple to cry out in company, "pray squeeze that lady ring!"

A vast plan for establishing a permanent telegraphic connection, by land, | between Europe and the principal coun- i tries of Asia, has been submitted to Prince!

The projector pro-1 poses to commence his line at Paris, conducting it through Belgrade, Constantino-} pie, Teheran, Calcutta, Malacca, Canton, Pekin, &o., to Behring's Straits, where a submarine cable will carry it over into North j America.

The Cuban Messen- J ycr says: The total amount (last year's crop) of sugar from three estates, was 235,000 boxes, which, calculated at the prices of last year, can be estimated at $20 each box, would make the value of their aggregate crops $4,700,000 or over 30 per cent, i more than the estimated value of property.

The proceedings of the meeting at Rock Hill, "J. W. K.," and the letter of our Salisbury Correspondent have been received. Owing to the lato hour at which the articles came to hand, and the crowded state of our columns, we are compelled to defer their publication this week. FIRE! We regret to learn that the smoke-house of Rev. J. R. Bairp was destroyed by fire on Sunday last, consuming all his provisions. The building was fired by an incendiary while Mr. Baird was on his way to Church. This is the second time that he has been subjected to a like misfortune, and we suggest that measures be taken to restore, in part at least, what has been lost by the recent calamity. Who will take the initative ? OVR GAS LIGHT. According to the promise of the contractors, our town was lighted with gas, for the first time, on Mondny evening last. The light produced was excellent, and all parties interested, appear to be entirely satisfied with the result. The work has been done speedily, and a meed of praise is due Messrs. Waterhouse and Bowes for the faithful manner in which the contract has been executed. These gentlemen have engaged to erect works at Greenville, in this State, and we can confidently commend them to the kind offices of our friends in that quarter. On the occasion of the completion of the works, Mr. M. Jones, the superintendent of the "King's Mountain Hotel," complimented the "gas-men" with an ice cream treat, for which we are requested to return the thanks of the whole concern. Pertinent to the "gas question" and being the next thing in order, we commend the following nnrajrranh. which is clipped from an exchange : "Recently a gentleman returned from Europe. He had been absent with his family seven months. He pnid his gas bill the day he left, and the house had not been opened for seven months ; yet when it was, the gas man took a return from the meter, and a bill was made out for $52. Mr. Grinnell went and complained to the Secretary, related the circumstances, and threatened exposure of such a barefaced robbery. He refused to pay the bill. "Very well, sir," said the Secretary. Mr. G. went home and told his wife. "Pay it," said she. "Why so ?" snid he. "Because," snid she, "the day we left New York, I had to go back to the house for some article I had forgot. The window shutters were fastened ; Hit the gas; the other day when I returned, I found it still burning." The bill was paid, for a steady gas flame had been burning for seven months. PATTERSON's SPRINGS, N. c. A portion of the Enquirer has been luxurating for a fortnight past, at this popular watering place, near Shelby, North Carolina. Of the waters we can say nothing by authority, except that in diseases of the digestive organs especially, cures have been effected by its use almost without exceDtion. It it stronclv impregnated with sulphur and iron, not so strong or cold, however, as the Wilson's Springs, but for that reason better adapted, perhaps, to invalids who require gentle remedies. Mrs. Patterson is a model landlady. Always solicitous for the comfort of her guests, she seems never to be nt rest, and certainly never fails to set a table at which the most delicate or fastidious appetite can make no complaint. In this particular, Mr. Patterson's establishment cannot be too highly recommended; utterly guiltless, as it is, of the inhumanity of creating an appetite, and at the same time affording nothing, or what is worse, badly-cooked stuff, with which to satiate it. It is in fine, a home for the invalid, with no boisterous company to disrupt, a niiiiit mid retired siek-ronm. and where the most kindly and cheerful attention is given to the special wants of each guest. And the prices are, in comparison with the accommodations, surprisingly moderate. We earnestly recommend these springs to persons in search of health. There were nearly a hundred guests there when we left, all appearing to enjoy to the utmost the comfort of a speedy and marvelously well-fed convalescence; and as soon as we can get through the duties which called us away, there will be another to join the company. Those who desire rooms would do well in advnnce. to address Mr. W. G. Patterson, at Swangstown, Post-office, Cleveland County, Sorth Carolina. SHELBY CORRESPONDENCE. Shelby, N. C., August 4th, I860. Dear Enquirer:?The great battle between "ad valorem" and "anti-advalorem" has been [OUglH ; [1UI won 'M vvwiii jiuiij, nir aic u jii unable to determine. Tiie last huge volume of smoke rolled away from this section yesterday. It being the day for counting the votes for this county, and a day (which, by custom rendered obligatory) every "uigger" is allowed to participate in the liberties of the land, a tremenduous crowd collected frotn all quarters of the country. The time intervening between the counting and declaring of the vote was occupied by the pout lomitatus, in smashing waternicllonsand imbibing copious draughts of apple-cider, supplied by the candidates. I would say here, that treating with whiskey is altogether ignored in Cleveland County?but one candidate, I think, doing it in the whole canvass, and he was defeated. The hour arriving for the announcement of the vote, the Court House was soon filled to overflowing. The Sheriff being detained from sotne cause, the assembly was resolved into a committee of the Whole, and gentlemen were called upon to address the audience on the ensuing Presidential election. Several responses were made, and the walls rung with a unanimous shout for Breckenridgc and Lane. Douglas and Johnson will scarcely get a vote in Cleveland county. The Sheriff entering at this juncture, de clared the vote given for Governor and Sena tor, in this county, which weil accorded with its past democratic history?Ellis and Burton receiving large majorities. A. G. Waters aud John R. Logan, Esqs., were declared the members fleet to the Legislature; and George Green, Sheriff', elected without opposition. From the intelligence we have from Rutherford aud Folk counties, we are inclined to think that Col. A. W. Burton, of Cleveland, is elected Senator, over Gen. G. W. Logan, of Rutherford. The Springs in this section are pretty well thronged with visitors from your State. The crops are not good. The rains seem to have fallen out very capriciously?some neighborhoods are burnt up, while others have had good showers. In great haste. D. CONTRIBTJTORIAL. A Bloomer. A few days ago a young lady in short skirts and long trowsers passed up Broadway, New York. A young man accompanied her holding over her an umbrella. The lady is described as "very pretty modest-looking" and in every respect presentable. She seemed to be offering herself as a martyr in the cause of woman's dress. She is strong to brave so much?too much, we opine. The stare of the stranger, the leer of the passer-by, the significant smile of the young idler, the shrug of :nnt+ini* romsrV all this is IUC 31U1UC1 IV1A, WUV VUVbiug * w?.v.. ~ .... more than the experiment pays for. There are doubtless objections in use if not in grace in the present style of dress ; but such spasmodic efforts con never abate them. The fact is, a beautiful woman is beautiful in any dress ; and this class need not feel solicitous on the question of modes. They rule the world and have done so in all styles of dress, from the mode & la Eve to the ample-room-and-vorgeenough hoops known as the "Belle of the South." Vive les belles! In Bloomers, then, these are? beautiful. Ugly women would better take care. It will not do to adopt a new style, (as the Bloomer) without consideration. Bright, brisk, little bodies are perfectively irresistive in Bloomers. Let these reflect how much they will gain by adopting so taking a dress. There is something so dearly petite,?so bouncy and glad, about such a body, that we wonder they do not take a more decided stand in favor of the Bloomers. "O dainty foot O gaiter boot,"? and so forth! But short thick fat folks must beware of Bloomers. They won't begin to do. We saw one once?experimental. "Oh, It wm pitiful" "Like Locbiel, we sbnekeci lor "A mantle to cover the phantom of fright." The experiment was conclusive. A has Its grasses.' For misses, the short skirt and long trowsers are charming. We really wonder that parents do not adopt this style with girls, especially in winter. Lilfe-time of Animals. The longest lived animal is the elephant?150 to 200 years. The crocodile, the crow, the eagle, the parrot, the raven, the swan, and the tortoise, may live 100 years. The camel, the heron, and the lion,?60 years. The ass, the beaver, the goose, the pelican, and the stag,?50 years. The sparrow hawk,?40 years. The bull, the dolphin, the horse, the hyena, the porpoise, and the toad,?30 years. The dog,?28 years. The chamois, the jaguar, the tiger, and the leopard,?25 years. The canary (alone), the chaffinch, the crane, and the peacock,?24 years. The bear, the cow, the deer, the hog, the pigeon, and the wolf,?20 years. The cat, and the lark,?18 years. The fox, the llama, the peasant and the partridge,?15 years. The raccoon, 12 years. The eel, the common fowl, the goat, and the sheep,?10 years. The hare,?8 years. The squirrel, and the viper,?7 years. The female bee,?4 years. The scorpion, and the spider,?1 year. The shortest lived ephemera,?2 hours. So say the statisticians. Our Local Newt. After due search?non est inventus. These Southern Flowers. If any special form of beauty bring A message fresh from Nature to my heart Of gentler, tender truth, above the rest? Next after woman's love-inspiring form, First after heaven of all that's beauteous here? That snecial form is this, these Southern flowers. | They say that angels write with flowers on hills And trees the truths of heaven. And I have dreamed, While musing on such flowers as these, that all They sny is true ; for I have felt that I Could sometimes catch a glimpse of meaning there, And deemed me purer for that partial glimpse. But human passion mingles not with such, And I am only human. Orient hearts, The}- say, their loves and cares in flowers. To me those eastern lands are dearer made By language so divine ; for I have loved Our own proud Southern clime the more that here All-beauteous Nature breathes her soul in flowers, And budding earth seems musical with bloom; While pure impassioned spirits find a theme And language o'er the land they love. I love The land and every flower and emblem tone That breathes in beauty o'er a land so fair, j These welcomed flowers?fragrant, Southern, | fair, And full of favorite memories?speak of scenes That rise to me from out the j'ears agone With nil the recency of yesterday. They reproduce one scene I dote to dwell I Upon. The scene is this :? A garden view Afront a quiet home, within a loved And lovely city of our South. Arouud Are flowers?sister blooms to these? And o'er it all a morning sun of June Smiles fondly down, and Nature seems at peace ; Not jubilant with gairish mirth, but calm With glad, sweet air of hopeful love and peace. Around are flowers, with all their odor-breaths And charms chrometic, all their emblem tones To Fancy's ear familiar. All are fair. A genial smile o'er these one being sheds ? One being bright, whose higher, holier uature I Reigns o'er all; as if to add a yet j More radiant ray to that new Paradise; { Nor sheds she that sweet cordial smile in vain, i For near another's spirit caught and blessed ' That grateful beam, as dewy flowers catch Ami bless the morning sun. Whose smile was that? j That well-remembered EJensinile? Not Eve's , But Ladalah's And since, that garden scene j Has risen oft to glad that other's heart? ' A homeless heart, that treasures all such spots ' In life, with fond and hopeful feeling; oft | To cheer, for nought of bitterness is mixed i With all that memory. These Mowers wake j That memory's fondest phase to night; and I | Relive that morn embalmed in memories As soft as morning's breath in June. [Sept. 28.] ; New Books. The publishers, through P. B. Glass of Colurai bia, send us a copy of "The Reason Why? Natural History." This is the latest of the ReaI son Why series, that has had so large a success. We have noticed the others. This volume takes | the department of Natural History, and answers i clearly such questions as the inan3' will constantly ask. It is catechetical in form. Is what it j claims to he?a chatty, sociable, entertaining 'combination of scientific facls, with illustrative j anecdotes, in popular language, illustrated. It j asks, and answers, such questions as these? Why do birds often roost upon one leg??Why are Sogers furnished with nails ??Why do teeth sometimes appear in old age??Of what use are eyelids??What is whalebone??Why do birds perch with their faces to the wind??and so forth, in all 1157 questions with answers. The authorities used in getting up the book are? Blumerbacb, Buckland, Buffon, Cuvier, Goldsmith, Gosse, Owen, Paley, Swanson, Youatt; in all about ninety authors. A full index. Duodecimo of 356 pages. Published by Dick aod Fitigerald, New York, at One-dollar, and will be sent to any address in the United States, free of postage ; or may be had of Mr. Glass in Columbia. We take it, the information given in the volume is entirely reliable ; and it makes up a mass of miscellaneous facts and reasons nowhere else j brought together in so compendious and so available a form. It is not, and does not profess to be. a handbook of Natural History. It is per hap3 less interesting because less comprehensive, than "The Reason Why?General 8cienoe," which is the first of this unique series. Who wrote Rutledgel We don't know, really. Do you? The latest rumor, however, says it was neither Miss Evans, Miss Lyons, nor Miss Minturn, but Miss Marion Bidewater Ruooles (Mitt again !) who is a Southern by birth, northern by education, and now resident in a small village near Saco, Maine. This rumor is said to Test on the authority of "a Southern paper." We wait to hear from "the family" of Miss Ruggles. "Phoebus!"?a8 Byron says. The Eagle Thought. It was one of South Carolina's gifted sons who, when asked his opinion of Prof. John Le Conte's lecture before the Columbia Athenaeum, replied: "He mounted into the upper regions of science with an eagle's boldness and strength. As far as my familiarity with the subject enabled my eye to follow him, I saw that he was right; and when he soared beyond my ken, though I could see him no longer, I knew that the eagle wan there, still soaring!" The compliment seeemed to us to do honor no less 10 tne venerame auditor man to me learnea lecturer. Th? Political Gull. It was one of South Carolina's gifted sons who, during the Secession excitement of 1851, said of a ranting party-leader who is yet upon the stage mouthing hi 3 part:?"That man, sir, is like a sea-gull; the gull that, driven, dashed along, and floundering before an advancing storm, finds at length a foothold upon some chance crag, looks back upon the might of the tempest, and, with a flop of complacency, ooncludes that it? poor thing?is leading the storm !" That gull is still floundering in the democratic storm of 1850. The gull is a harmless bird, having an unusual quantity of feathers, and i3 sometimes noisy. J. W. D. Colombia, S. C.

FROM ROCK-HILL. Messrs. Editors:?Friday, 27th ultimo, was a happy day for us in Rock Hill, and the little folks in particular. The first Sunday School Celebration that was ever had in this place, came off on the day above mentioned. Tho Superintendent of the Methodist Sabbath School, invited the neighboring schools of the Presbyterian Church, to unite with his school on the occasion. About 9 o'clock, the Methodist School formed a procession at I he Presbyterian Church. A few only, we are sorry to say, of the Presbyterian Sunday School Scholars joined in the procession. Capt. Steele, of this place, acted as Marshal, and at the command "forward march," the procession moved off to the Methodist Church, distant about two hundred yards. They halted at the door of the church, and made an opening through which the orators of the day passed into the church. The church was crowded with & very interesting and intelligent audience.? th Rev. W. T. Hall, pastor of Ebenezcr and Rock do Hill Presbyterian Churches, read 3rd chapter of Rc Proverbs, and offered prayer. Mr. R. W. Chbib- th tian was then introduced to the audience, and ba entertained us with a very chaste speech. The m Sabbath School scholars were introduced one de after another, and interested us with speeches, w< dialogues, hymns and songs. All of them did ch well. It would be unjust to discriminate. The th audience were delighted, and cheered the orators fii enthusiastically, if rapping can come under that R' term. fo Dr. H. W. Thomasson, of the Chronicle, was in then introduced, and delivered a speech charac- er terized for its good sense and sound doctrine, on cc "intellectual and moral culture." The irapor- bj tance of a religious education was insisted upon, tr We hope the doctrines advanced by the orator, al will be embraced and acted upon. be Rev. A. J. Cauthen wa3 also introduced, ge and gave us one of his straight-forward, ener- re getic talks. He plead for the education that gt reaches the heart and sanctifies the life. He no would have the Bible to be used in every school m and college in the land, as a text-book. So er would I. So would you, Mtssrs. Editors, and so sb would every good man in the land. We don't as mean to say that those professors who have not H used it a3 a text book, are bad men. The ques- le tion, perhaps, has not been agitated enough to pc bring it fully before those who fix the curricu- fr lum of colleges. h< The exercises were closed by singing a doxol- at ogy and the benediction, Rev. Wm. Banks, from m Chester, officiating. b? The audience was then invited to partake of le a Pic Nic that had been gotten up for the occa- ki sion, by our friends and neighbors. The cele- to bration was decidedly successful. The worthy Ti and indefatigable Superintendent deserves the to thanks of all who were present, for the delight- so fnl "bill of fare" served up for their entertain- to ment.

I had received the fol- c< lowing number several days earlier. This, I p< think, is owing to the fact that the one dated the ai 31st May, came by a Bremen vessel, while that o! of the 7th June, came by Liverpool. Such irreg- w ularity may in the future be avoided by direct- o ing all, "via Liverpool and London." it I suppose that news from this side of the At- n lantic is somewhat more attractive now, than 01 when I wrote before. All true Americans?I ir mean by this, all true friends to the free institu- di tions of our country?must be interested in the \ struggle now going on in Southern Italy. The tt blind fanatical worshippers of Popery, of whom I am sorry to say that we have many, even in our d free country, are of course exceptions to this p rule. To such persons, every step of that gallant chief, whose name is now so widely known, is a S sacrilegious act against Heaven itself, and mer- si its the immediate condemnation of all good men. t( But, thanks to the enligbted spirit of the ige in f( which we live, Buch views are no longer tenable. 01 Cicero has said that the wise are disposed to fi yield to the times in which they live, and Louis tl Phillippe, in a letter to Ferdinand, the father of li the present King of Naples, expressed similar o: views. They were, however, neglected, and now q the young King is learning by a sad experience, ai that he is attempting to uphold principles not in ci accordance with the spirit of the age, and that, w as men of high authority have previously said, a it cannot be done. Napoleon said last year, in p a speech which created a great sensation all over p Europe, that there were those who did not un- p derstand the times in which they lived. The c, young King of Naples is of this number, and for ti this he must lose his crown before another win- tj ter sets in, if some great and unlooked for reaction does not take place in a few days. As I said in my former letter, a rebellion bad jj been going on some time in Sicily, but the insurgents were without a head and almost without n arms, consequently they made no progress. On the night of the 11th May, Garibaldi, with a few hundred chosen followers, arms and ammu- e( nition, escaped secretly from the city of Genoa, ^ on board vessels seized for the purpose. A p( few days after, he affected a landing in Sicily e| under the fire, however, of Neopolitan war vessels. Then the Sicilians had a head in whom the .j, revolution of 1848 and 1849 had given them v confidence, but the force which accompanied bim was so small that they did not gain full confl- jp dence, until he met a considerable body of the royal troops at Calatifimi, and defeated them ^ completely. From that time the volunteers be- ^ gan to flock to his standard, but he was in great j want of arms to put in their hands. He marched withoutdelay, however, upon the city of Palermo, where not less than 25,000 or 30,000 Neapolitan j troops were stationed. He spent several days Qj on the heights around the city, collecting and drilling recruits, and in maneuvering so as to deceive the troops in the city. During the night, fires were kept burning on the heights, to let the people know that their deliverer was near at ^ hand. If a sally was made by the royal troops, he would retreat precipitately until he drew them fi into a snare; and would then turn and defeat ^ them. More than one sally was made, and led farther and farther into the country, in the hope 7 that the rebels were flying in dismay before it, until they were too far to receivo assistance from the town, and was then almost entirely cut oft' before it could get back. In the mean time, desertion from the Neapolitan army was very ^ frequent. Until the 27th of May, we had but little au- di thenthic news of what was taking place, but w that day a well known and most excellent corres- w pondont of the London Timet, arrived in Paler- jj( mo. Since then we have wanted no information si which he has not given. The same afternoon he visited the camp of Garibaldi in compauy with ^ two American naval officers. The preparations 8j were being made for the attack on Palermo that si night. The fires were kept burning on the j!1 mountains as usual to prevent the garrison from g, thinking anything unusual, was taking place, ic while the forces descended to the gates of the city. About day-light, the attack was made on one of the gates by the foremost of Garibaldi's p volunteers. It was taken; the entrance was t0 made, and the street fight began, which continl ued the greater part of the day. The people tr were all for Garibaldi, and did not hesitate to wi row the moat coatly furniture from the winwa, on the heads of their oppressors. The >yaliflts were finally driven to take refuge in e fortifications and palace. Then the bom.rdment of the city began from Fort Castleoro, and the war vessels in the harbor. The slruction was immense. Some entire squares jre destroyed. Hundreds of men, women and iildren, were burned to death in the ruins ol eir houses. All this was to no purpese, and lally, General Lauza, who commanded the oyal troops, was forced to appeal to Garibaldi r a cessation of hostilities. They had a meetg on board an English war vessel, in the presice of the English, French and American Nava! immanders. This resulted in the capitulation, r which it was permitted that the Neapolitot oops should withdraw, and carry with then 1 their implements of war. Since then, Gari ddi has been actively engaged, not only in or mixing his army, but also in establishing t gular government. At what seemed to be th< sneral wish, he declared himself Dictator in thi ime of Victor Emanuel. He also appointee inisters for all the various departments of gov TT - B A. A.-1? t _ ? ?

He has sen essengers both to Turin and Paris, who hav id audiences with Victor Emanuel and Napo on, but both the objects and results are yet un iown. King Francis has also sent a messenge i entreat Napoleon to come to his assistance.his the Emperor declined, but again venture advise the young King, as the only means o iving himself, to grant all necessary reforms > adopt an Italian policy, and form an allianc ith Sardinia. Painful as this advice mus ive been, it has been taken. A new ministr; is been formed, a constitution promised, an1 ie Italian flag hoisted .in Naples. It is no aown how Sardinia will receive 'this, but i lems to make no impression upon the Neapoli .n8 themselves. The disturbances became s eat, that the city of Naples itself has beei * * - ? " 4 11 ? J - 2. ;ciareu in a state 01 siege, ah uuuuucuuo h ie Bourbon dynasty seems to be lost. The Ital ns still hold fresh in memory the constitutioi anted in 1848, but which was withdrawn a ion as the external danger was gone. In the meantime, Garibaldi has made grea rogress in the organization of his array. Vol nteers have flocked to his standard from withii id without. Hundreds have gone from Sardina ho fought by the side of their beloved chief i sar ago in North Italy. The Sardinian gov nment has done but little to prevent this, be tuse they know that the popular movemen as too strongito be resisted. American vessels believe, have done more for these volunteer lan any others. They have transported them ith their arms and money, to Sicily, when the, mid scarcely get any other. One of the volun nteers writing back, says that they had t lank the stars and stripes for an opportunit ' going. I do not wish to see our governmen ave anything to do in European quarrels, ex ;pt to defend our rights ; but I like to see ou eople ready to help the oppressed wheneve nd wherever an opportunity is afforded. On f our vessels, with several hundred volunteer: as captured by a Neapolitan war vessel, bt tving to some irregularity in the way in whic was done, our Ambassador at Naples has d< landed its release, together with all who wer n board, and I see that they will be given u nraediately. A portion of Garibaldi's army i aily expected to make its appearance befor [essina, where the greater part of the Neapol: in forces yet in Sicily, are concentrated. Thursday, July 6th.?I was so occupied ye: ay in celebrating the Anniversary of our Indt nnrtnnee that t omild not finish this letter. We had four representatives of the Palmett tate present?one or two of the most violer jhool; but that did not prevent us from unitin ) celebrate the day, which a distinguished Pre issor of the University here told me, was n< nly a day dear to Americans, but to all tl iends of civilization and progress throughoi le world. We had several advocates of Repul can principles with us, and we talked much up n our national affairs?particularly the grei uestion of the day?but all passed off very pleai ntly. Wherever a small number of American Duld be brought together in Europe, yesterda as celebrated. From what I heard of the pre] rations made, it must have been very grand i aris. May every section of our great and glorioi fnion continue to unite as brothers, in whateve ortion of the world they may bo found, fc enturies yet to come, to celebrate that day, a je mere mention of which the heart of ever ue American may swell with just pride. We hear it to day that a portion of Garibaldi' oops has appeared before Messina, and hav ad a skirmish with the Royal troops. Garibaldi, at first, opposed the immediate an exation of Sicily to Sardina, on the groun lat he would not be so free to act against th lainland. But since reforms have been granl i in Naples, he seems to fear that he will no b able to carry out his plans, and hence has ap ointed a new ministry, and given orders for a ection to take place as early as possible ; th uestion being, shall Sicily be annexed or not here can be no doubt a,s to what the result wi e. The Turkish question is again becoming a ver oportant one. The meeting of the Emperor Napoleon, wit le most of the German rulers at Baden-Badet as been much commented upon, without arr ing at a very favorable conclusion. The remains of Princo Jerome, the last brotl r of the first Napoleon, was put in the "Hot< es Invalides," Paris. The burial was worth F the occasion and of France. You know the was magnificent.

'errible Developments?An Abolition Conspirac ?The Sixth Day of August set for a generc Slaughter of the Whites?The People of Dai las Sleeping with their Arms in Hand?Ma call on the Lower Counties for Assistant Dallas, Texas, July 16, I860. fn ? T/\tx*t \f itjqttatt Dear Sir: I will give you some of the fact mnccted with the burning of Dallas, and th eep laid scheme of villainy to devastate th hole of Northern Texas. The town of Dalla as fired on Sunday, the 1th instant., betwee ae and two o'clock, p. m. The day was ver at, the thermometer standing at 106 F., in th sade, and a high southwest wind blowing. Th re was first discovered in front of Peak's net rug store, on the west side of the square, an n.tinued tospread rapidly until the whole nortl de were consumed, and one half of the eas de ; together with all the buildings on Main reet, east of the square, and west of the Crutch eld House. Several other buildings were con lined, with the loss of dry goods, groceries, etc. I all of them. On Monday, the next day, the house of Johi Eakens, one mile from town, was fired. Oi 'ednesday, the handsome establishment of E . Nicholson was fired, but discovered in tim > arrest the flames. On Thursday, the stable it houses, grain and oats belonging to Cril iller, Esq., eight miles from Dallas, were des oyed by fire. All of these were so plainly th Drk of an incendiary, that suspicions were ex cited, and several white men and negroes were arrested and underwent an examination This , led to the detection of a most diabolical plot to j destroy the country. The scheme was laid by a mastermind, and conceived with infernal in- 1 genuity. It was determined by certain abolition i ( preachers who were expelled from the country ( last year to devastate with fire and assassination 1 the whole of Northern Texas, and when the I country was reduced to a helpless condition, a s [ general revolt of the slaves, aided by white men < , from the North, and many in our midst, was to ] come off on the day of election in August. The ! object of firing the town of Dallas, was to desi troy the arms of the artillery company, amrau- ' nition and provision known to be collected here ; . to destroy the stores throughout the country containing powder and lead?burn the grain, and I thus reduce this portion of the country to a ] ( state of utter helplessness. ( When this was accomplished, assistance was , expected from Indians and Abolitionists. Many , i other places havo already been fired: Denton, f . Pilot Point, Belknap, Gainesville, Blackjack Grove; some stores in Kaufman and Navarro, , Waxahachie and other places, that I do not , 1 now remember. Each county has a special , ? Superintendent, a white man, and each county | > is laid off into districts under the supervision of j a white man, who controls the action of the ne- ] groes in that district. The negroes are not per mitted to know what is doing outside of their , t immediate sphere of action. Many of our most prominent citizens were to bo assassinated when ' they made their escape from the burning houses. Arms have been discovered in possession of the e negros, and the whole plot revealed, for a general insurrection and civil war at the August election. I write in haste; we sleep upon our 9 arms, and the whole country is most deeply exci, ted. Many whites are implicated, whose name are not yet made public. Blunt and McKinney, t the Abolition preachers, were expected here at the head of a large force at that time. You had e better issue extras containing these facts, and warn the country of the dangers that threaten it. We are expecting the worst, and do not know what an hour may bring forth. Do the best you r can for us, We have no printing press, and can - do nothing in that line. We may have to call d on the lower counites for assistance?no one can ? tell. All is confusion, excitement and distrust. I will write again. There never were such times > before. Yours, in haste, e CHAS. R.
