‘Lecture on Texas. 4. De Cordovs delivered a lecture on Texas, her re- tream| patriots ‘during her struggle for independence; was one of citizens when she Was 80" ‘still clung to her when she sbed becam: bt-star in the glorious 3 sesoas Union, and he could say that ber pros- the past afforded an earnest that his her the Empire State in en- Groductions might be ind with a rea- When contemplated 2 nature had peen very bountiful to her, there were many portions of the State to make which suitable for the babi- tation of men, labor and enterprise were absolutely neces- sary. But labor would not be thrown away there, lands provision of the constitution no family coul Of ail they |. Two hundred acres of land, too.8 of a horse and saddie, together with necessary house- Bold-furniture, were exempt from execution. By the law of marital rights not ouly the property which the wife Possessed at the time of marriage, but the increase of all property as could be identified were exempt from ‘the debts of ibe husband. To show in what high estima- tion the advantages of education were held, he would state that one-tenth of the grors revenue of the State was sacredly dedicated to educational purposes. This, with the appropriation by the Legislature of 1853 of $2,060,000 im the five percent stock of the United States, added to grant of lands, bad added to the educational fund over two millions and a half of acres of land. He enu- merated the public and private institutions of learn- ‘mg, and the princ:pal churches, showing that in this particular every religious denomination was well repre- sented. The rate of taxation was very light; only 15 centaon the $100 was the State tax, and 73, cents the county tax. The personal tax was $1 per annum. To the hardy and industrious farmer be could safely say that Texas-offered very great inducementse—inducements sa- rior, he considered, w any State in the Union. They millions of acres of as rich land as could be found in the world, which required but a small share of labor. Besides this they would find a market at their own door for every article they could raise at remunerative prices. ‘The coast lands were admirably adapted to the cul tivation of sugar, At the first glance it might ‘appear strange to bis hearers that in the present sondition of the State of Texas he should predict that the day was not far distant when the production of wheat would be of lar greater importance ‘than that of either sugar or cotton, and, in all moral pro- Dability, of both articles combined, ag the soil and climate of the north and northwestern portions of the State were i ly adapted to wheat growing, and that section of the country would be sought and populated by the im- mense number of immigrants whore means were limited, ‘and who were dependent upon the labor of their own hands and those of their families. These, with those who could afford to purchase a few slaves, would make up the ‘mess of the population that was destined ere long to settle up‘that large and truly valuable tion of the State. In June Jast wheat could have been bought in the neighbor- hood of Bonham, in Fannin county, at 60c. per bushel —a price lower than it could be obtained at in any other portion of the word; yet even at this low igure, so easily was the article produced and prepared for market, that the far. mers were growing rich by cultivating it. It only needed railroads to supply the markets of the Union with the early June crop, and what was pot wanted for home consump- tion could've readily taken to the European and West Inds markets. Millet should be sown early in March; the yield was heavy. Rye, barley and oats wherever tried, did well. The sweet potato was raised with Ittle or no labor, There was no of the American continent where Indian corn so readily raised iy Paoagee : : garded ins an squash, their size Soaicoaty would make the hearts of even the thrit ‘wives of New England rejoice. The hill sides were ad- mirably adapted for the vine, and even now wine was made from the native grape, which closely resembled the Gatalonia. No country this side of California could ‘eat them in the production of turnips, carrots, parenips, Deets and other root crops. ‘The speaker here went into a description of fruits and flowers that grew spontaneously in this favored soil, such as would, if given, be enough to tempt sapeedy emigre ‘van of all our horticulturists and florists. was, he gaiki, emphatically a grazing country, and it would be in- ‘viiious to Any one spot as superior advantages over the reet of the State for stock ri Purposes ; yet be should acknowledge that the region country watered by the Colorado river and other tribu- Maries ‘was preeminently adapted to this business. Al- Jowing the highest rate tor interest and labor, the whole expense of raising a four-year old beef in Texas does not ‘exced $3 10, whue the butchsre would pay an average of $16 4 piece.’ Sheep raising was one of the most proatable e024] tbat a prodent, careful ‘farmer could engage mountainous districte of the State had proved themselves admirably adapted to sheep raising. In the rich Mezquite prairie lands, however, they should guard against over feeding ‘of the cultivation of cotton, he made the asser- ‘tien that Texas was the only Southern State whore climate ‘would admit of white iabor being succesfully employed fa outdoor pursuits. Without fear of contradiction, and under a deep.sense of the responsibility he assumed to- ‘wards his fellow creatures, he asserted that white labor could be most successtully employed in the u portion ‘of Texas, without any extraorcipary risk of life; ali that peceasary that thowe ged in outdoor pursuits should go to work very early in the morning and continue wnti) 10 or 11 o'clock, then rest ull 3 o'clock, then labor Ql sundown, and in addition be temperate in their diet and eparing in the ure of tobacco and spiritous liquors flave labor he believed to be necessary in the cultivation ‘fagugar; but for cotton slave or white lador might be used ; and for everything else he considered free labor the most profiable. Having painted in glowing colors the in ducements for immigration to Texas, M. raid that th ‘who resided pear the seaboard, ani might wish to go there, find ampie facilities for doing so, there being two lines to Galveston and one to Port Lavaca, from York, and a line from Boston w Galveston, besides a number of transient vesse's despatched from Balti more, Philadeiphia and New York. The most suitable which to direct their footteps were the upper the razon, Colorado, Guadalupe or Red River, where the country was rolling, the water pure, the atmos- salubrious and invigorating, the hills affording a for eattie, horses, sheep and hogs, with plenty of excellent building stone. He advised sottiers mot % fall into the common error of taking too much land, but content themselves with from 60 to 100, 160, or at the very most 320 acres, according to their_means. ‘Then as to the clase of persons wanted in Texas after farmers, be would say that teachers, both male and fe male. «ho were competent to teach what the jeened , would Gnd many openings, mechanics who thoroughly understood their business would do well. To proteesional men be would say, that neither doctors nor lawyers were wanted there was oct business enough in the country to support them. Let pe liticians, office seekers, pipe layers ‘and fant young men stay at home—there was Bo room for them there. To the sportaman Texas afforded a fine feid for operations. While im the settled portion of the State there wao no lack of game, it was in the unsettled of territory that the real disciple of Nimrod sheuld look far the tru enjoyment of feld sports. He dwelt with en Ubasiaam upon the excitement aud pleasures of the builalo bast in Northwestern Texar. The deer aod antelope also _sbounded, while wild geese and ducks and the smaller birds afforded fine amurement to those who delighted in he use of the tow ling piece As regardod works of internal improvement in Texas, they wore in their infancy; but they were being pushed forward with the otmost expedition that the condos ci Abecountry would perm AA the couctusion a Mr. C. to repeat bis lec be less stormy; and Wednesday open voning which would vening ooft was fixes Fires to New Fork.

New Hampshire Election on Tucsday—The Senatorship— Nominees, dc. ‘The annual election im this State will take place on Tuesday, March 9. It combines the twofold charac- ter of s State election and @ natiomal election, in- asmuch as the Legislature that is tobe chosen will have to elect a member of the United States Senate, Mr. John P. Hale’s term coming to an end justa year from this time, when he will bave been # Senator of ten years standing and experience—six years of the full term for which he was chosen in 1847, and four years of Mr. Ather- ton’s term, which he was elected to serve in 1855; and as itis the admirable custom of New Hampshire to retire members of Congress just as soon as they become of little or no value, his prospect of staying at home after the expiration of the present Congress is uncommonly good. Tt in an exquisite custom, and must not be inno- vated upon. Such, Iam sure, is the opinion of Mr. Ed- wards and Mr. Tuck, who expect to succed Mr. Hale; but it i6 possible that Mr. Hale himself entertains views on the subject that do not exactly harmonize with those ,of his ‘Would be successors. Mr. Tuck you know. He was member of the House of Representatives some years since, and was respectable im that position, very much so, when the rather weak character of our delegations for some time back is con- sidered, He ig asincere anti slavery man, aad goes the whole hog in support of his views, to which no particular objection can be made in a free country, where every man has a right to be as wise as Solomon, if he can, and foolish as David, if he please; but then he thinks he ought to be rewarded for his opinions and his services, about which there is likely to be some difference of sentiment if he shall persist in having his reward in the shape of a Sena- torsbip. It is extremely odd how high a price these patri- otic republicans set on themselves, and how earnest they all are in pursuit ot office. The greediest and most ego tistical of democrats is @ moderate man in comparison with @ republican who passes for being both moderate and modest in his own party. What a property these repub- licans would be if they could be bought at the world’s valuation of them and sold at their own. But that would ‘be to deal in ‘‘niggers,” of which no republican could be guilty—unlees he should be able to make a fortune by it. Mr. Edwards is of less account than Mr. Tuck, as the latter is aman of some political consequence, while the former is nobody, has done nothing, and will be sent no- where. The whole argument in’ his favor is this— be wants the office of Senator. Yet this gentle- man’s claims are in a fair way to cause his party serious trouble. Not only does he £, against Mr. Hale ut also against Mr. Tuck. — It is a kind of triangular affair, in which the gentleman who stands at the apex is sure to get asbot from both of his antagonists. The object in view is to get one of the two other positions, and to shoot down the singe opponent before he can get off his pistol. How this affair will end, it is bard to say. I see by the papers abroad that the impression prevaiis—it being taken for granted that the republicans are certain to carry the State—that Mr. Hale’s return to the Senate is a thing of couree, and that there is nothing to be done save the for- mality of electing him. Fudge ! There is no “of course’ in the business, and there can't be. Mr. Hale, who knows the ground as well ag an Irishr-an ever knew Doanybrook, is well aware that there are two fights before him, unless his party ehould be whipped in the tirst—the fight of Tuesda: next and that which will be bad in June. Do you thin! Mr. Hale would be here now if be knew that all would be plain sailing for bis partyand bimeelf? Is not the Lecomp- ton constitution now before the Senate? Is he not one of the readiest of the giadiators in the Senatorial arena? Why dose be leave Mr. Dougias, and General Wilson, and all the rest of the opposition Senators, to fight against the administration if he is sure of success? It is because he knows too well what may — that he has left Wash ington and come here, where he may be of some use to himeel! and his friends. Kansas must take care of itself, and he will take care of himself. The election is for Governor, Railroad Commissioner, State Councillors, Senators, Representatives and county ofticers—Treasurer, Register and Commissioner. Asa P. Cate, of Northileld, is the democratic candidate for Governor; and Frederick Vose, of Walpole, for Railroad Commissioner. Mr. Cate bas been called a Douglas democrat, as if such a thing there could be in rerum naturé—Mr. Douglas being the hottest enemy that Wr. Bu- chanan’s administration has or can have. Ido not know whether Mr. Cate is a Douglasite or not, but he cannot be a supporter of President Buchanan if he is; and as he is woo none Soe onne Sones Saves Mr. Doug! ‘old party is complete, he must, it whould seem, have made up his mind ‘which way W go, and that is with the national administration. That he was 4 Douglas democrat two or three months ago, I think is very hkely; bat things have changed Ege ng nis different by Kittredge and Mr. Morrison in 1854. These gentlemen voted against the Nebraska bill, and therefore were op- posed toPrerce's policy; butthey did not on that account leave their party, of which they are now members. So, At the utmost, is it with Mr. Cate, who may have regretted that Mr. Buchanan rerolved upon a the Lecomp- ton constitution, but who does not therefore leave the de- mocracy. There is no evidence that he ever supposed it possible that he could change his political position. The republicans support Gov. Haile for re-election. The democrats seek to make the decision turn u) Jocal mat- ters, and if they could succeed in that might do something, for they are at home in such things, but it isa case of “no go.” The public mind is full of the slavery matter, and little else is heard but ‘ Kansas,’’ “No- braska,”’ “ Lecompton,”” “ las,” “Walker,” and similar things, wwtiee have inte feerfacio interest for our citizens. Senatorialelection makes the national fea- tore prominent, apd but for that the democracy would do betler than, I think, they now can expect. Mr. Herbert, who has left the democrats, is a real loss tothem. So is Mr. G. C. Williams, who is son of ox Gov. Wiltams. Jer John Attwood will support the ‘good deal of feeling in the State, ‘and personalities of the bitterest kind are bandied about with much gusto. But when were they absent from our politics Board of Aldermen. John Clancey, Esq., President, in the chair. The Mayor sent in a message enclosing copies of two bille presented to Congress by the Hon.

Monpay, March 8—6 P. M. The stock market opened this morning active but irregular. In anticipation of an advance there were many unlimited orders to realize in the hands of commission brokers, and they were pretty generally fulfilled. The advance of Monday last, on the re- ceipt of favorable European advices, induced many holders to suppose that a similar movement would follow the Europa’s arrival, and it was this impres- sion that actually defeated such a result. At the first board to-day Missouri State 6’s advanced j per cent; California 7's, 4; Illinois Central bonds, 4; La Crosse land grant bonds, 1; Pacifie Steamship Com- pany, 3; New York Central Railroad, 4; Erie, 3, Harlem, }; Michigan Central Railroad, }; Panama, }; Illinois Central Railroad, 3. Cumberland Coal Com- pany declined 3 per cent; Hudson River Railroad, 3; Michigan Southern, old, 4; do., preferred, 4; Cleve- land and Toledo, }; Chicago and Rock Island, }; Milwaukie and Mississippi,1. Immediately after the adjournment of the first board the market softened, and lower prices ruled. The bears made a dead set at certain leading fancy stocks, and hammered them pretty hard on the curb stone. There was no desire to realize among outsiders, and very little stock was offered for sale. At the second board the transactions were exceedingly limited, but prices show a decline on the current rates of the morning board. New York Central opened at 93} and closed at 92] percent. Erie left off at 333 per cent, a de- cline of 1} per cent. Hudson River Railroad at 844, which is 1 per cent lower. Michigan Southern at 30}, against 30f in the morning. Chicago and Rock Island sold at 86 per cent at the close, which is 1 per cent below the leaving off price of the first board. Most of the purchases were on time, and the buyers principally large holders, who evidently have taken advantage of the favorable opportanity to increase their line. Michigan Southern preferred and Pacific Steamship Company closed very firm this afternoon, with pretty liberal purchases. State stocks were particularly buoyant this morning at better prices. In Missouri State 6’s the sales sum up $130,000, and closed steady. On two small lots of California State 7's prices advanced rapidly. The closing price on Saturday was 90 percent. This morning they opened at 92}, and left off at 94 per cent. The active demand in London for American State stocks, reported by the Europa, must soon be felt on this side. The low price ruling for money throughout Europe, and the confidence generally en- tertained for our State bonds, will absorb large amounts and give increased market value to the en- tire list. There are not many afloat, and as prices advance holders on this side will be more reluctant to realize. Several of our leading railroad stocks, such as New York Central, Illinois Central and Michigan Central, will be taken in large lots by European capitalists. The market was quiet, bu' steady at the close. . The Assistant Treasurer reports to-day as follows : Total recel Total rant Total e. 88,624 06 2,976,074 07 The receipts to-day include $61,000 from customs. The transactions at the Clearing House to-day were as follows:— Fat exchanges. 19,066,646 32 ee oe 1,829,151 91 The Metropolitan currency certificates amount to $813,000, showing a reduction since Saturday of $163,000. A few days at this rate will take up the entire balance. ‘The bank returns for last week, compared with those for the week previous, exhibit the following variations in the aggregate of the leading depart- ments: — Increare in loans and discounts . Increase in #pecie.. Increase in circulation. These returns show an increase in each depart- ment. The discount line is now higher than at any time since the 3d of October last, while the line of deposits and the specie reserve are greater than ever before reported. The amount of specie in the banks is more than a million of dollars larger than ever be- fore known, and nearly three times as great as at this date last year. The deposits have reached an enormous sum. More favorable returns have never been made, and the accumulation of money is to an extent never before dreamed of. The banks are literally running over and cannot use to advantage the surplus. This plethora of money must lead to a very great expansion in prices for first class securi- ties—those that pay six and seven per cent in the shape of interest and dividends. Ours is about the only market for an outlet to the speculative opera- tions of foreign capitafists, and they will look to our stock exchange for either the temporary or perma- nent investment of large amounts of capital. “It will be years before the value of mongy on this side of the Atlantic can become again 60 inflated, ond our capitalists will seek and be glad to make permanent investments in onr soundest securities, where the most ordinary rates of interest are guaran .

This was preparatory to the establishment of a clearing house, which is to go in- to operation this day. Its meetings are to be held daily at haif-past 8 o'clock A.M., atthe Union Bank, and the returns are to be made at 10 o'clock. The bill for a State loan of $250,090, to bear inte- rest, if necessary, at the rate of ten per cont per annam, has passed both branches of the Minnesota Legislature, and only wants the signature of the Go- vernor to become a law.
