AaRtIev or -e Tl: 'I Tialrn.--Trhe body ofTexaentroope , whose coming we announced severaldays since, arrived here yesterday evening by theOpelousas Railroad, and were immediately march-ed up to the Jackson Railroad depot, and willleave for Virginia by the 7 o'clock train this morn-icng. They are under command of Senior-CaptainKey, of the liardeaman Texans, and are parts of thetwo regimenats which retndezvoused at Camp Vanlorn, near Hlarrtvburg, and which have been ac-cepted by Presid,:nt Itrvis for tie war. The de-tachment consists of five companies, as follows:Ilardetlan Texans, Cspt, Key; Tom Green Rifles,Capt. Carter; lobilt-ot Cunty Fiverhooters,('apt. Twn-end ; Guadaloupe Rangers. Capt.liane: and the Lone S;ar tiuards, Capt. lyan-195 men, all toll. 'hey left Catup Van Dorn twoweeks ago yesterday, and in that time have cornefour hundred and ninety-eight miles, one huandedand forty of which was on foot, through a newcountry, with no roads or bridges, the weather allthe time being wretched.

Two other detachment,c ' con~isting of 500 meneach, at last accounts, were at Niblett'a Bluff, onithe Sabine river, awaiting transportation over tilelame route; and the other detachment was ex-peeled to arrive there in a day or two. Thosewho arrived here yesterday are a very fine body ofmen, and their long march and its attending hard-ships does not aeem to have affected them in tileleast. Such men as these will make quick workof the Yankee racers when they get a chance.War to them is a pa.ctime ; its hardships are every-day events, for they have been brought up on thefrontier, and have beenl cradled aslid dangers.May it soon be their good fortune to have an op-portunity to win the glory they haoe traveled sofar to obtain.

A Ctt.et I•,:- Ovirie: nD Carn-en. -On Wednes.day evening last a little German boy was run overby a cotton wagon upon which he was attemptingto climb, and had his arm badly crushed. tie wastaken to the Charity Hospital, where his arm wa-samputated, it being imposaible to save it. Thoughweak from the severity of his cofferings, the poorchild is doing well. This should be a warning toparents wrho allow their ehildren to run at large inthe streets.

.A MA'; Stier I:nUit: S-r~PICIOr ClrCIe -TesCes.

Mr. J. M. McCandlish, of the firm of H. Block &Co., grocers, Common street, shot a man whomhe found concealed in his yard, yesterday morning,about 1i o'clock. One of the ladies in tie househad been up writing letters to her sons in Virginia,and previous to retiring went out upon the galleryto enjoy the cool night breeze. While standingthere, concealed by the shade of the building, shesaw a man climb over the fence and enter theyard. She immediately wento o Mr. McCandlish'sroom, awoke him, and informed hint of the fact.tIe arose, and providing himself with a light and arevolver, went in searcnh of the night-walker; butafter looking through every room of the honse andout in the yard unsuccessfully, it occured to himthat it might perhaps be some friend of his cook, anegress, about 45 years of age; so he awoke acolored man who slept in the kitchen, and directedhim to go inti tile cook's room and see if any onewas there. This was done, and still no one was tobe found. But as the boy was descending theback stairs, with a candle in his hand, the light re-vealed to Mr. McCandlish a man standing in therear of the yard, concealing himself behind thedoor of an outhouse and clothes-horse. Ile imme-diately hailed him, and as he did so the mianapproached rapilly upon Mr. iMcC., who fired.This stopped his course, and he exclaimed that hewas hkilled, but tiat it served him right, as he hadno bleines to enter a gentleman's yard at such anhour. lie said, further, that he came to visit theconk, and not with any burglarious intention. Theball entered the thigh of the man, causing a verydangerous wound, which, it is leared, will provemortal. iHe gaee his name as Thomas Lind.ay,and claims to be honest, if not gentlemanly, in hishabits. Yet, as it is very likely that he cateredthe prelmi•s with tile intention to steal, and onlytrumped iup the story impromptu upon thile ideaslggeted by Mr. Mct:audli-h himself, when hesen.t the boy to search her room, lie should beclosely examined and made prove his assertions,if he etes well.

Sally StrlIkland's Case.

Miss Strickland was a maiden lady of five andforty, who had wearied the Doctor's patience byher reiterated attempts at dying at most unreason-able hours, at least so far as regarded the comfortof her medical attendants. One cold, stormy night,the Doctor had been called to see Miss Sally, andhad succeeded, as usual, in pacifying her fears, andleft her enjoying a soound sold refreshing sleep. Iehad hardly arrived at home, drenched through withthe rain, which was falling in torrents, and got intoa warm and comfortable bed, when he wasawakened by a loud rap at the door, and a voicewithout, begging him to get up in a moment, asone of his neighbors was dying and needed his as-sistance. Half asleep and half awake, he ran tothe door and inquired which of his neighbors wasin so dangerous a condition. On openitng the doorhe was saurprised and chagrirned to find that bisdying neighbor was Miss Sally Strickland -that,after he had lefther, anl hour or two before, shewas taken suddenly down again, and had sent amessenger to hasten his return, and tell him if helid not come quick, he would not find her alive.'rhe messenger urged him to get ready as soon aspossible, and in the meantime he would get hishorse and sulky up, and have them at the door.The Doctor, worn out with the repeated calls, andlatigueu with his previous visit, hesitated; butfinally decided on going, determined to make anend of the job by either killing or curing.

Oin his arrival lie put on a gloomy and ghastlycountenance, said but very little and very gloonl-ily, and in every respect appeared more like astranger from another world thian the humorousand tiagreeatle ilhysiciun. On his entering tileroom of Sally, sheaa noticetd the cointenarnre of tileDoctor, and discovered that something was prey-lng upol Iis splirits, as ie did not appear with hiawonted choerfuol•es. the inqulired of hini thecause of his gloom and depressitn, aln beggedlili to unraosmn himslif folly and freely, as itwothl lprobably be the last opportunity he shouldhave.He told her it would be improper, under existing

circumstances; thal, as the time of her dissolutioiwas approaching, it atghlt terrily ler and hastenher departure. She entreated him to keel notlhingfrom her, though it might relate to hersell, for saltwas desirous of illnwlig the worst of tilhe case,and was prepared to mlaet it, be it what it might.He still declined disclosing the cause of his melan-cli, and iaistedthat her remaining strength wasinsafiirent to sustain the shock whiah mastnecessarily produce, and begged her to turn herthouaghts to other and more appropriate subjects.

Though Sally suPltosed he'selt dying, yet shewas onwilliig to die without her curiosity gratified,and she therefore the more strongly importnnedthe Doctor to keep hier no longer in suspense.After getting her curisity and iraginatio on on tip-toe he consented. it satid when the messengercame last for him he was in a sound sleep, and wasdreaming that he was in the land of woe-thatBeelzebub was condocting him to tile variousroonls of the prison of despair, for the purpose ofhoiwing him their arrangeilent--lthat in passing

the door of a room in which some Satans lodged,lie saw them jampinog and shiprping about appiarent-ly in high glee--that IBeelzebub, noticing it, toldthem to go bed and be quiet--that, ot their notobeying his orders, cheerfully and readily, ihestamped tremendously on the floor, adding, withtrue Satanic emphasis. " Go to bed, I snay, and getsome sleep, for old Sitl Strickland is eorning to-morrow, and there'll be no sleepin hi--I for a fort-night ! " Miss Sally sprang for the broom, but theDoctor, tatchirg up his saddle bags, made his ea.cape. The cure wac-elfecttlua.

For thousand eyes now gaze on theeThat shall not see thee more--

A thousand hearts beat proudly nowWhose race, like thine, is o'er.

Oh, ghostly moon! thy p id rayOn paler brows shall lie

On many a torn and bleeding breast,On many a glazing eye:

And breaking hearts shall live to mourn,For whom 'twere bliss to die.

Whereupon Capt. Theo. Shute was called upon,who stated the object of the meeting in a shortbut forcible speech, and offered the followingresolution

Resolved. That the chair appoint a committee ofsix, to drait resolutions expressing the sentimentsof the steamboatmen of the city of New Orleans.

Whereupon the chair appointed Capts. Theo.Shute, Samuel Applegate. Chas. Oakey, Messrs.Chas. Pierce, Frank Jackson, and Marion Cassel,who retired.

During the absence of the committee, Capt. J.B. Weaver, part owner of the steamboat D. A.January, was called upon to state the particularsof the charter of the steamer D. A. January to theUnited States Government at St. Louis, whichstatement was afterwards decided by vote to beunsatisfactory.

Upon return of the committee the followingpreamble and resolutions were received and com-mittee discharged :

Whereas, in the present agitated state of anfirsnnd the great excitement consequent upon theprobable infringemrenub of tihe rights of true South-era boatmen, by persons residing in, and convey-nmg from various sections, outside of the Conled-erate States, and not recognized by the late pro-clamation ol the P'resident, it becomes the duty ofall men, in any manner connected with tile greatsteamboat interest of tihe South, fully freely anddispassionately, to discuss the means by whichtheir rights shall be protected and their interestsadvanced.

And wlereas, the time has arrived when a justand proper discrimination should be made betweenthle chlnls to Southern patronnge of the loyalSorthlern boatmen, who for many years andtirough many hard srtruggles, have adhered man-fully to Oouthern principles, and many of whomhave now gone to light for tihose prin:iples; androf those olloer boarnocc, corling trom the regionsof a dark and urprinripledfanaticism,aand more or tless its itliold devotees, yet appearr among ru , whlendriven hither by their inuterests, and boldly an-nouncing themselves true Southern patriots, placetlae soelves by our side, and claim equal rights;therefore, be itRiesolced, That this meeting, composed of own-

hereby pjedge to each other the assurance that inall casea where employment is sought for, a pre-ference shall be given to Southern boats andSouthern officers.

iesoled, Thllt it be considered the duty of allSouthern boatmen to guard carefully the trueSouthern interest, to oprotect it from any violation,and to report to the lroper authorities all personssuspected of hostile feelings.

, esolved, That all boats, whether owned in theCoofedelrate States or not, should be consideredas urnwr thy of Southern patronage, that have beenchartered to, or in any manner used by the Fed-eral Government, unless seized for such purposeagainst the assent of tile owners, publicly ex-pressed,

Ie'soloed, That all oficers who have acceptedemplooynrnt on such boats, or offered their ser-vices, should be considered unworthy of a berth ona Southern boat, and that ally Captain or owneremploying them should be deemed disloyal to theSotlh.

Resolved, That while boatmen are endeavoringto precerve tile integrity of the South, rnd to keepSouthler waters undeliled by pretended friends,their exertions will be of no avail unless sustainedby tihe -spll r'slr generolly.R rtlhri,, 'o'hat wilh a llifornt tariff of rates suchas iS now established, and which has been univer-sally acknorwledged to be just, and not excessive,we muslt exrress the hope and belief that noshipper will saer tice Soothern interest by offringpatronage to ron unworthy suitor,

Cormmlnirated to the New rfedis Oet.

Mr. FAitr-In your issue of Tuesday moting,27th inst., I read your refutation of the absurd andunguarrled assertion of the New York Herald that" were they," the South, "to gain their independ-ence to-morrow, they would be no nearer advancedto their object. The European nations weald pla.eno faith in the stability of a government basedupon slavery as a principle," etc.; and, with your-permission, I propose to show from the Now YorkHerald's own words, uttered last fall, a stronger, afuller and a more complete refutation of its argu-ment now against the South, than even, if possible,your article above alluded to. These are its words,its argument:

The progress of commerce and rade and mann-factures, which, tending to wealth and luxoryalong the Northern seaboard, tends ale to renderes effeminate and nesuited for war. The degen-eracy of the English population is a case in point.

In the late Crimean war, the recraita rnaied inthe manufacturing towns were, from their apepear-ance, the langhing stock of the -Britsh press.They perished by theosands from the hardships ofwar, without a shat froee the enemy. The rine-pal part of the fighting was done by thePrenachb,who, accordingly, received all the glory. Heret-fore, England obtained her fighting men fromIreland and the highlands of Scotland; bet in re-cent years, from the depopulation of Ireland byfamine and emigration, and owing to the highprices of labor and to the fact of those districts ofScotland whlcts produced the troops that won thefield of Waterloo being cleared of human inhab-itants, in order to makeroom for the vast sheepwalks and deer para of the Duches of Satherland,and other noble phlatthrepists, whose benevo-lence seeks all other objects excepting whire men,Great Britain has lost her estlw arta hiet ywarriors ;and now, insteadof first, ranks only second orthird among the powers of Europe, A factoryopuolation, or mechanics, or clerks, or merchants,

or those employed constantly within doris, are notthe staff of which good armies areemadi- go thatgreat inmbers (as, for example, in the ease of theChinese,) do not always show military strepngth,which depends rather on the quality of the menthan on tbeir numbers.

That the North has greatly degenerated in mil-itary prowess, while the Sbouth 0in greatly ad-vanced, is demon1trated by the ineontestible faelaand figures to be fond in the official return of theWar Department. In the war of the Revolution,Maassachneetts-thea glorioes Mla .--eotrtlhutedmore than double the nnmber of men furnishedby any other Colony. She gave 82,108 soldiers,which cannot be altogether accounted for by thefact that the brunt of the war was at first on herown soil. ConneCticut supplied 39,751; NewHampshire, 14,416; Rhode Island, 10,047; whileNew York gave 21,00;t NewJersey,1 tl7; Penn-aylvania, 33,128; Virginia, 32,000,, lad Maryland18,060. There were then no Anti-Slavery States.All the Colonies were slaveholding Staten. and aBdid well. Now let us come to the war of 1812-15.By the Northern Slates were there frnishedtroopewhich served for three months, 58i5l; bhy theSouthern States, 96.182; makidg a majority of37,h30 in favor of the South. How many didMmas

The States which furnisied most men whoserved in that war were: Virginia, 19,017; NewYork, 38,638 ; Tennessee, 24,858. ithatweowars,the troops employed in the armies of the Republicnumbered 42I,000 men--f whom the Seoth fur-nished 87,000 ; more than deuble the number ofthe North, which was only 137,000.

How was it inthe Mexican War? MIasraehusettsfurnished 1047, of whom, only two were killed andnone wounded ; and the rest of the New EnglandStates sent not a man, except poor Pierce of NewHampshire, who was made President for faintingon the field of battle. No militi frpmthe Northserved in that war. It was fought by volunteers,consisting of a class of men who wilt never fightagainst the South. The whole number of koopscontributed by the Northern States was 23,054while the Slave States furnished 45,630, or verynearly double. Now, as the Northern States havetwice the population of the Southern, the Southhas furnished in the last war four times as manysoldiers as the North, in proportion to population.The fighting element of the country, with the ex-ception of New York City, is chiefly in the South.The Southern population are all fighting men fromtheir childhood. They are always armed with re-volver and bowie-knife, or rifle. As for the des-perate expectation that the negro slave will provean element of weakness to the Soath, it is vain. Inall the wars of Greece and Rome with other coun-tries, their slaves, though white men, never revolt-ed against their masters. If the negroes even hadthe will, they would not have the means or thepower. On the contrary, they will prove a grandsource of strength, for they can attend to the cot-ton fields, the general cultivationuof the soil, andotther labor, while the whole of the able-bodiedwhites can devote themselves to war. How manyablt-bodied men can the North spare to sendSouth? Not one in three. Vast masses of thepopulation of the Northern seabord are reduced,practically, to the condition of white slaves, whilea considerable portion are sickly and veryunfit forthe army.

The South is therefore perfectly able to maintainthe coutest. What she wants most is a navy. Butshe can build one in the Mississippi, andin themeantime site can employ a fleet of privateers, asdid the Colonies agninst England in the Bevolu-tionary war, which will do the commerce of theNorthern States more injury than our war shipscan ever inilct on the Southern seaboard.

Now, sir, this article, coming as it does from thecolumns of that most notoriously eraciouis ofNortheorn journals, the New York Herald, wouldlhve no force, would he entitled to no respect,were it not based upon facts embracing the mosteventful periods of our country's history, and show.ing, as it does, in a most triumphant manner, thatthe South, from our first revolution down to thepresent time, her slavery principle included, hasshown herself preeminently worthy of the respectandi confidence of European nations, but more es-pecially now, in her present glorious struggle.
