CuAnLrsTO.v, April 4. Charleston has
- to-day been in a state of excitement un
equalled, since the first secesiion move
ments. A crisis is at hand. The ap-
' pearancc of a schooner otT the harbor
yesterday evening, and her attempt to pus
the batteries here, her subsequent myste
rious disapp?arance, have aroused appre
hensions of the most serious character.
.The military leaders ha.'e been unusually
'active all day, and mc-mheis of the con-

Elections In the States.
In St. Louis the Republican ticket has

In Cincinnati the Democratic Union
ticket was elected by an average majori

Wonder how the mail contractors on
the route from St. Joseph to Council Bluff
carry the mail bags? Universally after
a rain, mail matter for ihis city reaches

lowing mail matter to be so exposed as it
surely is on the route mentioned.
The friends of -'gosef lain" are anxi
ous to know of his whereabouts. We

Burroughs, Bob Tail, Kansas and Fisk
Lodes are paying well averaging 8200
to the cord of quartz. I see in a Den
ver paper an item of one cord crushed
from the Bob Tail lode, which yielded
929,50; and, if the editor has not been
misinformed, that is a very remarkable
lode. Two hundred dollars to the cord is
considered very rich.
I also clip from the same paper the
following items sent by a correspondent
in the mountains. They certainly speak
well for a bright future:
"The La Clede mills on North. Clear
Creek has jut retorted $2,304 63 from
seven cords of quartz. The quartz was
from the fc'tton lode."
"A jren'leinan informs cis that he just
had the pleasure of eeiuff one hundred
pounds of amalsrum whieh had been ob
tained in one run of the Nebraska City
mill. It was all washed and ready for
beins? r?torted. Amalgum in the mills
usually yields f'nnn 30 to 50 per cent of
retort gold, and this amount of amalgum
would amount to over SG,000."
Since my last we have enjoyed in this
region a season of peace. and quietude
and been enabled to take comfort with
ourselves and neighbors. But on last
Tuesday a Mr. Evans and an individual
called Buckskin," got into a difficulty
from some cause unknown, and Mr.
Evi.ns cut his opponent several times with
a knife. Bukakin then drew a pistol and
fired, the ball missing Evans and lodg
ing in the heart of a colored man by the
name of Morris. I have been unable to
learn what disposition will be made of the
murderer. What makes the case peculi
arly hard, is the fact that Morris hd but
fifteen minutes before drawn seventepn
dollars from his employer to make the
last payment for his freedom.
The next day, a Mr. Empstead and a
Mr. Johnson had some difficulty in re
gard to a ranch which the latter had sold
the former, and in the scuffle Empsteai
shot Johnson in the leg, the ball entering
just above the knee. Empstead was fined
50 and costs.
The weather at present, as the old ai
manacks say, is "variable." A few days
of warm, balmy spring, then a day with
a slight drift of fine snow, and the next
morning clear, bright and pleasant.
Well, I Lave bcred yoti long enough,

' At a "boarding house at Milledgeville,

cook for not having supper earlier. He
replied: "Well, gent'emen, I hear you

ent indications are that the ''first act in
the great Reaction Drama, which must
inevitably follow the ccvp d'dat'oi the
C mon Stale precipitators, will in all prob
ability make its debut there. In no one
of the sreeeding States have the people
been more grossly imposed upon than in
Texas. 3roin the Texas correspondent
of the St. Louis Republican we extract the
following as conveying an idea of the true
state cf affairs in that State :
Acstix, Texas, March 20, 1SG1
Believing that there are many mis
guided secessionists in Missouri, I enclose
vou the address of Gov. Houston, andask
ybu to publish it. as' a plain statement of
facts, so that the friends of law ana oruer
may see to what extremities a revolution
ary spirit may lead.
A few irresponsible men called for a
Convention and ordered an election. That
the movement and the demand for an ex
tra session of the Legislature meant se
cession, few could fail to see. Yet many
advocated them professing the most loyal
devotion to the Union. The election was
held under the lash of excitement, and
about one-third of tne voters of the State
went to the polls. The delegates as
sembled, and they placed a secession or
dinance before ihe people. The falsest
statements in regard to the change of
Houston and other prominent men were
put forward. The cry of secession, for
the purpose of reconstruction, was used,
and the concealing of the whole 'truth
and telkiog every possible falsehood, suc
ceeded in carrying the secession ordinance
by a very large majority.
A despotism is upon the people.- The
usual consequences have followed. Trade
paralyzed ; money out of the question ;
many people feeling insecure in liberty
and estate, and seeking new homes ; the
United States army driven off; our fron
tier exposed ; our internal improvements
and the cause of education arrested. No
man can see the end.
You may ask me if the people cannot
be aroused ? Look at the state of things
iu all these "Confederated States." Few
presses have the boldness or independence
to speak out the fact3 as they are. The
mails are under the control cf the dis
unionists, and nearly all prominent poli
ticians are in the movement, finding their
reward as members of Conventions, mili
tary officers, or in th5 promise of giving,
to everybody everything, and making
everybody independent of everybody else.
La rjM Ma tilling armies are being raisea ;
life tenure in office is proposed ; a heavy
tariff is grinding us; a government at
Montgomery is grinding away without any
responsibility to the people. If liberty
survives all this we shall owe it to good
fortune rather than to the disposition of
the leaders or the vigilance of the oppress-
sed masses.
No one more deplored the triumph of
the Republican party than myself. But
while we had Congress and a million ma
ioritv of voters, I did not fear lor the
rights of tne South, and as to the great tu
ture I was willnig to prep-ire for that by
demanding Constitutional amendments,
and building up a great Union party.
B-t I do fear the results of a I evolution
whi h has been o deceptive in its every
tep. And. now I feel that the real ends,
aims and purposes are still concealed.
Despotism is the goal to which we are
running. It is impossible for five millions
of people to "support a government on a
large scale without heavy burdens upon
the tax payers. Permanent disunion can
not take place without large abridgements
of liberty, and of the means of yain, re
movals and locomotion of the masses.
Nted!ess revolution and demoralization
are twin-brothers. A government found
ed upon one idea must be exacting, and
more or less oppressive. And at last per
manent separation is no remedy for a
single existing evil. It gives no addition
al security to slavery makes no man
more honest developes no additional re
sourcesadds none to the brains of small
beer politicians, nor does it make us more
powerful to crush the accursed spirit of
abolitionism at the North. G. W. P.
We also extract the following from
Gov. Houston's Address. We wish our
space would permit the insertion of the
whole of it:
Fellow citizens, in the name of your
and liberties;, which I believe have been
trampled upon. I refuse to take this oath.
In the nauip of the nationality of Texas,
which has been betrayed by this Conven
tion, I refuse to lake this oath. In the
name of the Constitution of Texas, which
has been trampled upon, I refuse to take
this oath. In the name of my own con
science and my manhood, which this Con
vention wi uld degrade by dragging be
fore it, to panler to the malice f my
enemies, when by the Constitution the
privilege is accorded me, which belongs to
the -humblest officer, to take my oath of
office before any competent authority. I
refuse to take this oath.
I am ready to be ostracised sooner than
subr.iit to usurpation. Office has no charms
for me, that it'mu.-t be purchased at the
sacrifice of my conscience and the loss of
my self-respect.
I love Texas too well to bring ciril strife
and bloodshed upon her. To avert this
calamity I shall make no endeavor to
maintain my authority as Chief Executive
of this State, except by the peaceful ex
exercise of my functions. When I can
no longer do this, I shall calmly withdraw
from the scene, leaving the government
in the hands of those who have usurped
its authority ; but still claiming that I am
in Chief Executive.
I expect the consequences cf my re
fusal totoke this oath. ' My office will be
declared vacated. If those who ostracise
me will be but as true to the interests of
Texas as I have endeavored to be, my
prayers will attend them.
Fellow citizens, think not that I com
plain at the lot which Providence has now
assigned me. It is perhaps but meet that
my career should close thus. -I have seen
the patriots and statesmen of my youth,
one by one, gothered to their fathers, and
the Government that they had reared,
rent in twain ; and r none like them are
left to unite it once again. I stand the
last almost of a race, who learned from
their lips the lessons of human freedom.
I am stricken down now because I wiil
net yield tbeic principle?, which I have

The contract for building the road i.s. let
to Mr. Charles Hendrie, who is to com

with the conditions of his contract. The
cost of the road will be less than SJ00,-000.

A Queer Froir. .
On the Island of False Kiver ii found
a fro;j whose peculiarities, we believe,
have hitherto escaped the attention of
naturalists. It is called the e 'ro,"
from its jjreat t.ankermg' afttr "hen
fruit," and is a preat nuisance to far
mers in consequence. Bein unable to
break the shell of the eirjr. it is swallow ed
whole, after which the frosr climbs a
tree and theu precipitates itself to the
Ground. The fall breaks the shell, and
the frog spits it out, piece by piece. Queer
fro that. Baton Rouge (La.) Sugar
Planter.
Yes; well, suppose that peculiar frog
found in False River, being without pow
er to break an egg shell, "swallows it
whole," climbs a tree and falls down for
the purpose of breaking the shell, what
does it want to $pt it out, piece by
piece" for? "Queer frog that," surely.
The receipts of cotton at New Orleans
continue to fall off, and a further and im
portant decrease is looked for in the next
few week'3. In consequence of this be
lief, there are few estimates of a crop
above four million bales indulged in,
while the majority are now estimating
below that figure. A number of boats
j engaged in the carrying trade are pre
paring to haul oil.
The Charleston and Savannah papers
are out against any duty on ice. Ex.
They'll need something to keep them
cool this summer.
