Important Cession to Alabama.
There is tjow a fair prospect tba the

by the addition to, that State of a por-
tion, of "West Florida, including the
seanortr of Pensacola. The lUoriua
Legislature has past a joint resolution,
which has received the approval of the
Governor, leaving it to the people of
the Stateio vote upon the question of

An Unstable JTonndatEbn.
A correspondent of the" National In-
telligencer attributes the unhealthiness
oflTew Orleans to the character of the
ground upon which it is built? It is
alluvial .formation, of .unknown depths,
Lcontaining a large ajianity of vegetable
matter. HeYe is an extract which is
interesting to geologists :
The situation of the placeis so remark-
able and pecular that it cannot escape
one's attention. It is on an alluvial
plain, of recent geological formation, and
of an unknown age and depth. ' An at-
temptjnade here some time ago Teveal-
ed the fact that for six hundred feet at
least the same formation was obtained.
Bows upon rows of the stumps o the
cypress have been found growing over
each other, exactly superimposed, each of
which layers must have taken thousands
of years to form. Dr. Bennet Dowler,
the able editor of the Medical Journal
of New Orleans, informed me that he
himself had observed four layers of
these cypress stumps within the limits
of the city.
HOP The "San Autonio Herald won-
ders "why some bold and enterprising
go into iTexico and bring back the large
number or likely runaways, that now
form a pretty respectable African colony
there. Since Mexico has so little respect
for herself or any other country, the
Herald would not pbject to thiWr regu-
lar method. r
A project of this kind has been talked
of for some time, in this county. It
would, doubtless, proveaprofita8leien-
terprise. - r

SPRIlfGPIELT); Pebt. 10th, 1859.
In the early part of the cbntroversy
with the JEnglish nation the American
Colonisfe acted under the dread that if
they submitted to be taxed without their
consent it would lead to oppression.
Their burthens had not then become too
intolerable to be borne. They held that
taxation" without .representation was"
tyranical. In process of time it was in-
timated that the Colonies might be rep-
resented, but the exact number of mem-
bers was not stated. Our ancesters were
too intelligent to be thus deceived.
They knew that any share in the Legis-
lation they could get, would be nominal
and not real, thatit would serve to legal-
ize rather thauprevent injustice. They
contended for things they could not
submit to be an inferior cast, to send
members to Parliment who could carry
nothing for their benefit, or prevent
measures to their prejudice.
Compare their condition, if they had
acquiesced in the proposition, to the
Southern States of to day. We have a
nominal and not a real shaie in the
councils of the nation. Our representa-
tion can vote, but cannot effectually re-
sist any law that the combination in the
jlSTorth may see fit to pass. Whilst par-
ties were national- and not sectionaL
-fchereoulci no greaVttansrer imoend.
But now it has becomesw;tional, it has
already caused the stiongesto seek for
the collection of the largest ssums, . to
support the most extravagant expendi-
tures ; these collections are made to "bear
most heavily'on the agriculturial section
m their creation,and most beneficially on
the manufacturing section in their dis-
bursements. Most of our revenue is de-
rived from impost duties; nearly all of
our exports are the -products of the
Southern States. Isfearly all of the col-
lections are made at the North where
they are distributed. These collections
and disbursements are .increasing at a
fearful rate. It is the interest of those
who collect and among whom it is ex-
pended, to increase both, and where is
the power oktheproducer to prevent
them ?
Time was, when the Senate served to
check in some measure, this devastation
but it too is annually growing more ad-
verse to our rights, and interest. Not
only so, but there is a stron'g and irresi-
stable fanatacism increasing its rage by
its own heated zeal, until it now seems
hopeless for tbejjSbuthlongerXto Tesist.

South derives from her representation

Resolved, That we fully approve of

sasEESs:
The Postmaster General, we
learn, has ordered a change in the con
tract from'this place to Austin. The
change corn meces at Brenham, running
every other days via La Grange, Bas-
trop, TFebbervflle to Austin, and. same
number of trips by-vhatis known as the
Air Line. The contractors will com-
mence the new route as soon as the
road is put in order. Citizens on the
propose route, would do well to turn
out and work the roads so as to avail
themselves of the benefit of this new
service. Houston Telegraph.
STThe Hanger says that town
property tas greatly risen in value in
anticipation of the extension ofthe3ren-
ham railroad to that place. This is but
a natural consequence of tlje increased
facilities ofttransporation, and yet many
iseacres may be found wha argue that
a railroad is a positive evil. We well
recollect that in the contemplation of
the Central road in Mississipipi, we
heard a wealthy old planter vilifying
the measure, while at that very moment,
his property had advanced within the
preceding year one hundered per cent,
even before ground had been broken,
within fifty miles. "We couldtpoint out
several such Solomons in Texas.

The style of dresss best suited
to display tlie iemale form.
By tlje use of -a good mathematic
al rule or svstera, and with the use of
a tape measure, a lady may learn to
make a much more natural fit than can
4bC obtained by first cutting the linings
to the body, and then cutting the out-
side by them. Much art and taste is
also required to correctly distribute the
wadding, and a delicate figure as well as
one with a waist naturally large, re-
quires to be built out with wadding
about the shoulders, and not seek to
render the necessary contrast between
the sizes of the shoulders and the waist
that is observable in a 'taper waist,' by
lacing the waist too tightly. French
ladies never have the dyspepsia; they
generally enjoy good health and a fine
flow of animal spirits; their figures are
regarded as models for milliners and yet
they are not.so small in the waist as the
ladies of Vienna, London or New Y,ork.
The beauty of the feminine form-does
not consist in a small waist, asi,he Erench
and all people of taste fully comprehend.
A waist unnaturally small, is devoid of
attraction to gentlemen, A beautifully

Tigh Lacing.
The injurious effects of tigh lacing has
often been pointed out, and in England
at least, women have pretty generally
learned to see the danger, if not always
the hideousness, of these wasp-waists
once so highly prized. A single fact
elicited in the experiments Herbert will
probably have more weight than pages
of eloquent exhortation. It is this: The
same man, who when naked was capable
of inspiring Ilk) cubic inches at a breath
could only inspire 130 at a breath when
dressed: No', if we compare the tight-
ness of a wctoan's stays with the tight
ness of a man's dress, we can easily

Tlie Empty Cradle.
The death of a little child is to the
mother's hear; like a dew on a plant
from which a bud has just perished.
The plant lifts up its head in freshened
greenness to tae morning light; so the
mothers' soul gathers, from the dark
sorrow through which she has passed, a
brightening of ber heavenly hopes.
As she bends over the empty cradle
and fancy brings her sweet infant be-
fore her, a ray of divine light is on the
cherub face. U is her son still, but wrth
the seal of immortalitv on his brow
She feels that leaven is the only atmos-
phere where her precious flower could
unfold without spot or blemish, and she
would not recall the loss. But the an-
niversary of i his departure seems to
bring his spiritual presence near. She
indulges -in hat tender grief which
soothes like- an'Opiaie in pain," all liard
passages "arulcaresinlife.
The world to her is no longer Ulled
with human love and hope in the future,
so glorious wijh heavenly love and joy;
she has treasures ofliappiness which the
worldly, unchltstened heart never con-
ceived. The rj right fresh flowers with
which she has 'decorated her loom, the
apartment where her infant died, are
mementoes of Hie far brighter hopes
now dawning on her dreams.
She thinks of the glory and beauty
of the new Jerusalem, where the little
foot will never 'find a thorn among the
flowers to render a shoe necessary. Nor
will a pjllow he wanted, for the dear
head is reposing on the bieast of the
Saviour, and she knows her infant is
there in that world of eternal bliss.-
She has marked one passage in that
book now emphatically to her the word
of life, now lying on the toilet table,
which she daily reads: "Suffer little
children to come unto me, for such is
the kingdom of heaven."

Female Politeness. A corespon-

probably a crusty old bachelor, says:
I kept statistics of female politeness
for some months in the Sixth Avenue
