It seems a eon-1 st sion of just reason, that if Britain fails di lake our cotton, with which we have j merly paid for British goods to the tl aunt of 46 millions of dollars, our im- A tations of English manufactures must curtailed by ?U least that amount, or jc uccd from 61 to IS millions.

Wc have a private letter from Galves)n, written on the 23rd, which slates lat the Houston Morning1 Star, received te previous day, contained information, irect from the -West, to this effect: That Arista was marching up the Rio (rande (this side) in pursuit of a division f the Federalists,F;(probably those under ol. Jurdon,) when t'anales, with the reminder. fell upon his rear, and the other arty wheeled and attacked him in front, a n short time Arista capitulated, surrcnering ali_ his baggage, six cannon, and , 290 men. One of the provisions of the ipilulation was, that Malarnoras should n at once givon up to the Federalists." The Austin Sentinel says?"We have ccn informed by a'gentleman from San nlonio, that the Federal cause inNorth n \1 nvi/*r, iu'ctil) flmiriohintr. anil that ley have every prospect of ultimate sttc?ss.

This is com! party that is 011 its way into the Inan country. A military post is to be established on ic San Marcos, about half way between ustin and San Ar.tonin. It is said that Gen.

Rkt.la, Horrid Della-?We perive that the leaders of the abolition host avc lately changed their tunc.

They would ' 1 11 1 /tnmntn. either receive me iuuku n# nan ion, nor even permit their contributions o polnle tlie sonctuary of their liolv dolus and cents. But now, since the South avc shown a determination that u line hall be drawn; that if northern baptists /ill not draw it, they will draw it themelves; that if northern baptists do not rop their connexion with the ultratsis, hey will disolvc their connexion with lorthcrn baptist; the stale of the case ha? lecontc vastly altered. Now we hear iota word about non-fellowship, ''tlx nice of blood," withdrawing from the encral institutions, etc. On the contray, the determination now scents to be, to adhere to the general institutions at all he zards and under all circumstances. Ac cordingly the leaders are vehemently call ing their forces to arms, exhorting ther to prepare for the onset, and urging thet to put forth their whole strength, in Apr next?to do what? Not to expel theSoutl Not to put away from them the " price c blood," as is their cant pharse. But t defend themselves?to maintain their star ding in the general institutions?and there ! by to continue their relations with th ' South!! So much for that sort of consi: I teney which blows cold to day, hot t morrow, and next day nothing at all. We now take it upon ourselves to ir ' form otiraboljlion friends, that they ma make themselves entirely easy ou th score of war with the South. The da for controversy between themselves an j the South is past. 11 they expect in : South to contend with them for extstenc in our general institutions, or intjecd ft J any thing elss, they deceive themselve: 'The baptists of the South have done jui | about all that they design to do. The have resolved that they and the aholitior ists cannot occupy the same platform nc associate in the same proceedings. If th abolitionists are removed they will conlii no. Cut if the abolitionists continue the ' withdraw. The question to bo settle then, is to be settled not by Southern baj : tist, r.or by Abolitionists, much less b both these logcthea; but by northern baj lists of the neutral party.

Dreadful Earthquake.?The at coipit oi the falling of a part of Moot; Ararat shaken down by an earthquake with a terrible destruction of human lit is confirmed.
