AUSTIN, TEXAS," February 8.-.The'Con vention organized -to-day, and vf iii incor? porate into the new Constitution tho tot -.1 abolition of slavery, and give negroes tne right to testify in all courts, hold property, sue and be "Sued, ?VC. The Convention is divided between original secessionists and straight-out Union men. Some members are in favor of negro suffrage. The Presi deat of the Convention voted against se? cession in the last Convention, but was subsequently an officer in the Confederate army._ Congressional Sens. WASHINGTON-, February 18.-In the United States Senate, to-day. Senator "Wil? son, of Massachusetts, Chairman of the Mihtary Committee, reported the bill fixing the peace establishment of the army, with amendments; it omits the Veteran Reserve Corps, consisting of eighteen regiments, which were provided for originally. The discussion was then resumed on thc con? stitutional am end i? ?nt as reg?-rd? r?pre-; setit&tioib. In -the United States House of Repre? sentatives, Mr. Bingham, from the Com- 1 mittee on Reconstruction, reported an amendment to the- Constitution, to be sub? mitted to the State Legislatures for ratifi? cation, that the Congress shall have full power to make all laws which shall be ne? cessary to secure to the citizens of each State all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States, and to secure to all persons ii? the several States protec? tion to life, liberty and property. It was recommitted. _ Lat*r from the Rio Grande. BROWNSVILLE;. February 2, ria NEW OR? LEANS, February 8_General Wright ar? rived from Galvestou on tho let. Colonel Brown succeeds General Weitzel in com? mand of the Rio Grande district, and Colo? nel J. G. Perkins succeeds General Smith in command of tho first division of the Twenty-fifth corps. The provost marshal is busy arresting and disarming all parties in Brownsville and the neighborhood. Colonel Reid, General Crawford's adjutant, was arrested for complicity in the Bagdad affair. Cap? tain Sinclair, of the Liberal army, has also been arrested, charged with violating our neutrality laws. Generad Corte?as and his forces have left for parts unknown. It was reported before he left that ho had received from President Juarez the appointment of gene raMn-chief of the Liberal army. Four pieces of artillery taken from Bag? dad by the Liberals, and brought to the OlarksVille side, were seized on the 1st, and held by the United States Collector of Customs. A French man-of-war had arrived off the month of the Grande, and 2,000 French troops were expected up the Rio Grande to aid the force of Maximilian at Matamoras. It was rumored that General Canales was at Remasa with a Liberal army, and that General Escobedo, with another force, was besieging Monterey, but the reports arc not believed in Brownsville. PLATFORM OF THE CONNECTICUT DE? MOCRACY.-The following are three of the resolutions adopted at the Demo? cratic State Convention, held at Hartford on Wednesday of last week : Resolved, That the Congress of the United States possesses no power under the Constitution to determine who shall be eligible to the right of suffrage. That it is a right belonging and appertaining to the States, or the people of the States as such ; and that any and all attempts upon the part of Congress to force upon the people of any State or States any class as citizens thereof, and entitled to the right of suffrage, are violations of the spirit and letter of the Consti? tution, and are infringements upon the rights of the Skates. Resolved, That it is the duty of the Senators and Representatives of this State in the Congress of the United States to devote their time, their talents, and energies, to the best in? terests of their constituents, to so far as possible release them from burden some taxation, to cause the ariny and j navy of the United States to be re? duced as soon as practicable to a peace establishment, and insist upon such a just and economical adminis? tration of the Government as will restore the country at thc earliest moment to its former prosperity and greatness; to attend to the interest of that class who ^formed the Govern? ment-the white man-and rest satis fted that in his prosperity the African race will have a sure guarantee of its welfare. Resolved, That justice demands that the burden of taxation should be borne equally by all who enjoy the protection of the Government. The last resolution means that the rich men who own United States bonds ought to pay some tax upon them. SALE-DAY.-Monday was raw and cold, nevertheless quite a number of persons were in attendance. The sheriff sold some poor land on a oredit, for a good price. "Look out, bidders," the "stay law" is not re? trospective in its action! From the best infoimation we could gather, preparation is being made for unusually large grain crops, with the addition of, in most cases, large "cotton patches." The present moneyless condition of the country induces this latter step, as a matter of self-preservation. One "freedman" was on the hill; on the alert, as usual, for the news and politics of the day. Thanks to the energy and discipline of Captain Bray, the freedmen generally have found homes, and gone to work in earnest.-Keowe? Courier. STAMPS ON SUMMONSES.-The fol? lowing is one of the established rulings of the Internal Revenue Bu? rean: ' 'Suits are commenced in many of he States by other process than writ, z; Summons, warrant, publication, 'tion, &c., fe which cases these, as original processes, severally re stamps." ? eekly returns of the Bank exhibit an increase in the d of 3,700,0O0^rancs. Important from thc South" Pacifie and Spain. We yesterday received important news, by the arrival of the New York from Aspinwall and the Australasian from Liverpool, concerning the Spa? nish-Chilean war from both the coun? tries immediately interested there-" . The news from Aspinwall states that Peru had concluded a treaty of alliance with Chile, and that the Pe? ruvian and Chilean fleets were con? centrating for a combined attack upon the Spanish squadron, which at last accounts was off Valparaiso. The adjoining Repnblics of Bolivia and Ecuador were also expected to join the alliance against the mother coun? try. It may, therefore, be expected that all the South American republics on the Pacific will combine and make common cause in the war with Spain. Our advices from Europe, by the Australasian, inform us, at the same time, of the starthn g effect produced in Madrid by the intelligence of the destruction of the Spanish man-of war Covadonga by the Chileans, and the subsequent suicide of Admiral Pareja. The ministry and the press received the news with the utmost excitement md indignation, and active measures were in preparation to wipe out the disgrace that the arms of Spain had received in the Pacific. It is proposed to immediately increase the war standing of Spain to a de? gree which will crush out at once all resistance on the part of the South American republics. The campaign against Chile is, in fact, to be prose? cuted with the utmost vigor. Curiously enough, this news comes to us at the .very moment when the popular sentiment of the United States has relapsed into complacency over the sagacious and peaceful policy which Napoleon intends regarding Mexico. Spain, although she had the wisdom to retire from Mexico and afterwards from St. Domingo, now madly rushes into war with Chile. She met with a reverse, and in her chagrin is determined to prosecute the war with renewed vigor and energy. But, with Chile aided by Peru, she will find an antagonist united and organized, with a disci? plined navy already as formidable as the Spanish squadron. Is she now to act in opposition to the prudent dictates which controlled her conduct under the circumstances which led to her withdrawal from Mexico and St. Domingo, and wage a war founded upon a mere punctilio, audcertain to be attended with difficulties and an expense prejudicial to her finances and her political power? With seri? ous internal troubles, amounting almost to a revolution at home, a war with nations 3,000 miles distant will inevitably lead to bankruptcy and the probable overthrow of the Govern? ment at Madrid. [New York Herald, lOlh. THE END OP TROUBLE WITH FRANCE. -The French Minister at Washing? ton, M. Montholon. and Mr. Seward, the Secretary of State, had, we learn, their final interview in relation to Mexican affairs on the 7th instant. It is distinctly understood that Louis Napoleon has issued orders for the positive withdrawal of all French troops from Mexico, and that Maxi? milian will be left alone, so far as the French Emperor is concerned, to work out for himself, and by himself, his Mexican problem. Those journals who have been made unhappy for the last few days at the vanishing chance of a war with France, and who have refused to believe that Lotus Napo? leon'' speech was anything but a sham aud neat, may accept now, with the best grace they can, the certainty of a lost opportunity. The war they hoped for is no longer possible, and these fierce editors who have been longing for the fray must turn their ingenious minds to the discovery of some new occasion to lick all creation. [New York Tribune. A COLD IN THE HEAD.-A Dr. Pa lion, of St. Foy, France, has disco? vered a new method of curing cold in the head. Herewith is the descrip? tion: "Tt, consists in inhaling through the nose the emanations of ammoria contained in a smelling bottle. If the sense of smell is completely oblite? rated, the bottle should be kept under the nose until the pungency of the volatile alkali is felt. The bottle is then removed, but only to be re? applied after a minute; the second application, however, should not be long, that the patient may bear it. This easy operation being repeated seven or eight times in the course of five minutes, but always very rapidly, except the first time, the nostrils be? come free, the sense of smell is re? stored, and the secretion of the irri? tating mucous is stopped. This remedy is said to be peculiarly advan? tageous to singers." - _ - - There are ample reasons for assert? ing that the Freedmen's Bureau Bill, in its present state, will be vetoed by thc President. It contains features that aro known to be in direct anta? gonism to his views and wishes, and they are certain to be rejected by him. The bill, therefore, when it reaches the White House, will be re? turned, with the objections stated. Washington Correspondence Philadel? phia Ledge?: -? Bat for King Alcohol, the Rich? mond papers say it would be an or? derly city; but with thirty arrests for drunkenness daily, they think the prospects are bad for good order and quiet. r Cora ?nd Cotton. We commend to our readers the folio-wing well-timed "^suggestions of the Augusta Constituiionalist: Many of our planters, if not the greater portion, allured by the high prices of cotton, are about to give their chief attention to the culture of this staple, ignoring to a considera? ble degree, or wholly, the production of cereals. We cannot but deem this course unwise. It will not do, in the experimental era in which we find ourselves, to count too confidently upon a certain yield of cotton. Many conditions conspire to bring success in this kind of culture, and many con? spire to insure disastrous failure. Labor may be delinquent when most imperative-viz: when the grass is rank in the field-and then the crop is doomed. The seasons may not be propitious, and worms may sally forth like guerillas, blighting whatever they touch. It is just as well to pre? pare against any evil contingency, rather than take a gambler's hazard of fortuitous results. We are strongly of the opinion that while a due portion of each planter's land should be given to cotton, an equally judicious apportionment should be set aside for corn. If but a small crop of corn is raised in the South, we gravely apprehend partial famine in 1867. Many depend upon the West for corn in exchange for their cotton, but should the cotton be short, how shall they be enabled to purchase breadstuff's? Speculators control the corn as well as other mar? kets, and we need not hope for succor from them any further than our ability to pay. Miserable indeed will be our estate if such be the case, and the very wretchedness of this condition will be aggravated by the reflection that we will have none to blame but I our grasping selves. Fervently do wo pray that such a consummation will never come, but its very possibility should make us wise in time for pre? paration. We are in a "bad streak of luck," and famine may be in the calendar of our future trials, if we do not heed. We call upon our worthy planters to ponder this suggestion, and act upon it, if it be deserving of consideration. We know that many of them hold similar opinions, and trust that all will be guided by a spi? rit of justice-justice to themselves and justice to those dependent on I them for snpplies. . SEVERE SNOW STORM IN LONDON. London has had a terrible snow storm. People awoke in the morning to find the streets and house tops covered to a depth of six or eight inches, and, where it had drifted, as much as two or three feet. The sidewalks were next to impassable. Cabs were scarce, then at a premium, then unattain? able, Omnibusses crowded, pedes? trians miserable, boys exultant, mails delayed, accidents frequent. The commonest form of the latter was oc? casioned by the snow accumulating on the wires to such an extent as to tear down the posts, to the damage of whatever happened to be beneath. At the "Mephant and Castle" these dis? lodged means of electric communi? cation, descending from the house tops, nearly garroted an unlucky omnibus driver. Others dragged a man into the Surry Canal; others tore off the roof of a building and part of a wall, as neatly as if cut asunder by machinery. Hardly a telegraph wire in London remained entire ; they lay across the roofs of houses, stretching from tenement to tenement in great festoons of snow. When they reach? ed the ground, the police-for hours employed on that duty-twisted them around lamp posts to get them out of the way. The snow drifted into the works of the great clock of Victoria Tower at Westminster, into that of the Horse Guards, into that at the Royal Exchange, aud stopped them the papers say at almost the same mo? ment-6>"a o'clock. On the different lines of railway leading into the metro? polis, they could hardly discern the signal posts, and had to blow fog signals. The guards at the South and South-western fines assert that they never encountered such a snow storm. The annual meeting of stockholders of the South Carolina Railroad Com? pany and of the South-western Rail? road Bank convened in the Bank Hall, yesferday morning, at the ap? pointed hour. The Hon. Wm. Aiken was cabed to the Chair, the Secretary of the Company acting as the Secre? tary of the meeting. The report of the President and Directors of the Bank was read, and referred to a committee of five, to report on at a future meeting. Com? mittee-Messrs. Richard Yeadon, G. A. Trenholm, C. M. Fnrman, B. D. Lazarus, O. J. Chafee. The report of the President and Directors of the Company, together with that of. the General Superinten? dent and tho statements of the Au? ditor, were also read and referred to a committee of three to report upon. Committee-Messrs. W. L. Tren? holm, J. K. Robinson, B. O'Neill. The meeting then adjourned, to meet this day, (Wednesday,) in the same place, at ll o'clock A. M. [Charlesion Courier, 137/?. Two smart twelve year old boys have started a two column local paper at Waterbury, Ct. They do all the work upon it themselves, and then go out on the street and sell their papers. Diamond powder was very much worn by the ladies at the 7th Regi? ment ball. The dresses were daz? zling. "IT ? BBXEASED.-Tho Messrs.

We understand their release w*s obtain? ed by the payment of a sum of money by these gentlemen rather thin be committed for trial.

A Chicago paper is after the dealers and butchers. It asserts that hogs gone with the cholera, arid diseased sheep and beef cattle, are daily sold j at the stock yards for home consnmp-1 tion. The regulations are inadequate to guard against this state of things. To SUSTAIN THE PRESIDENT.-?I mass meeting at Washington is adver? tised, to sustain the restoration policy of the President, to take place on the 22d of February. A daughter of the late Hon. W. P. Mangum, formerly United States Se? nator from North Carolina, is teach? ing school in Orange Connty, in that State. It is stated that tho judges of the United States Supreme Court are equally divided on the question of the constitutionality of the test ortth. A bill is about to be introduced into the North Carolina Legislature, em? powering freedmen to purchase and hold land in their own right. The planters of Florida are in good spirits.

NEW ORLEANS, February C.--Not with? standing the rainy and inclement weather, there bas been some inquiry for cotton ibis morning, and the sales include ono list of 200 bales, at an inside rate. Unfa? vorable accounts from Now York, and in? creased difficulty in passing foreign ex? change, still more depressed the market. Strict good ordinary can bo bought at 44c, low middling at 45c., strict low middling at 4Cc., and middling at less than 48. Only 57 hhds. sugar and 24 bbls. molasses have been received from the coast since yester? day.

LOUISVILLE, February H.-There was only a moderate degree ?f activity prevail? ing in the market, to-day, in the leading branches of business, with something of an unsettled feeling pervading buyers and sellers. Holders of provisions manifested much firmness, though some heavy trans? actions were made to dealers on private terms. The sales to consumers and for shipment were at steadily maintained rates. Owing to a blockade of freight between Chattanooga and Atlanta, on the Atlantic and Western Railroad, a State institution, the shipments via the Nashville Railroad are again restricted. The directors of tho latter are, of course, compelled to refuse to receive through freights, until this con^. necting road can work off ita surplus. That has caused another temporary check to the trade and commerce of thc city. The attendance at the Merchants' Ex? change was lu^ge and quite animated, with an unusually large number of invited guests in attendance. The buyers of grain, nour and provisions were in excess of all others, but owing to the interruption in shipments, sales were limited. Fair sales of mess pork were made at $29, flour at $7 for superfine, and bacon active at quota? tions. Corn is firm, with heavy and con? stant sales of prime white, shelled, at 83 @85c., thc latter rate including sacks and dravage, or delivery to the boats at Port? land or railroad depot. There is also an active demand for forage, for stock men, who are shipping daily from 200 to 400 held of ri: ules, horses, beeves and sheep to thc- South." Richland Lodge No. 39, A: F. M.

THE ONLY RECOGNIZED DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN NEW YORK, DAILY, SEMI-WEEK? LY AND WEEKLY. THE NEW YORK NEWS HAS BATTLED against despotism for four years of blood and terror, in assertion of the sanc? tity of the Constitution. A patriotism sufficiently broad to embrace boto sections has been its only guide, and it refers now with honest pride to its record to show that it oas not turned to tho right or tho left under all the violence of nri itrary power. True to its principles as 'Xi iii NEWS has been through thc reign of terror, it chal? lenges public confidence in its honesty and independence for the tuturi'. The pohtical transition of the present dav opens to THE NEWS a new and wider field ol usefulness. Standing now, as it always has, on the inviolability of tho Con? stitution, according to the interpretation of thc strict constructionists, it presents a rallying ground for all, in both sections, who are friends of a generous conservatism. As a true and tried exponent of sectional amity, it accupies a position u mci! iT?nktfs" IP tho fitting mediator in holding up to the party of order, in both sections, interests' and principles that gave breadth and vi? tality to their alliance. As an interjec? tional agent, devoted to freedom of elec? tion, to trial by jury, to the sanctity of tho habeas corpus, and opposed now, as for four years of terror it has been, to the cen? tralization that dares to trample on the rights of States. North or South, THE NEWS places itself as a candidate for sup? port before the great body of this once free people. Tuc circumstances of the moment make the dissemination of the principles of TUE NEWS a ?iuty of individual patriotism. Every man who concurs in its doctrine must, if ho entertain a true sense of free? dom, do so ia no spirit of indifference, bnt rather ^ith tho earnestness of a high trust. Justified, nay bound, in his love of liberty, to do so,tho proprietor places the canvass he makes herc of tho public generally in the hands of those men who give him tho ap? proval of their consciences as his individual agents. Every reader of THE NEWS cannot avoid tho conviction of duty which is hero pointed out as the ground of the request, that he urges its claims for a wider support upon all of his friends and neighbors who give their earnest sympathies to tho cause of "strict construction, intersectional con? ciliation, and nil thc rights of tho citizens under the system set up by our fathom of liberty regulated by law. The proprietor of THE NEWS calls, therefore, upon good and true Conservatives throughout the country, to discharge, to their convictions of political right at this great crisis in the country's fortunes, thc duty of giving to the influence of his paper, daily, semi? weekly or weekly, the wider power for good which" it seeks hero through tho service of its individual supporters. ! ^.uotiozx Sales.
