In March, 1836, Texas declare, in Convention, her independence of Mexico. In April, of the same year, the bat tle oi ' n Jaciuto was fought. In June of that year, c three months after Texas proclaimed herind i . idence, and before Mexico had acknowl edged it, t! Committee on Foreign Relations of the Lnited btates Senate made a report in regard to Texas, concluding with the following resolu tion: " Resolved, That the independence of Texas ought to be acknowledged by the United States, whenever satisfactory information shsll be receiv ed that it has in successful operation a: . civil gov ernment, capable of performis-2 the duties and fulfilling the obligations if au independent power." This resolution passed the Senate unanimously. Mr Buchanan was, we believe, Chairman of the Committee of Foreign Relations at the time. Now, supposing European powers were to ac knowledge the independence of the Southern Con federacy, and the Northern States were to feel outraged by it, would it not be suflicient for those powers to point to the above fact in the history of the Uuited States Legislative proceedings? Wil mington Journal. Counterfeiting the Flag. The trick adopt ed by the Yankees in their various battles with the Confederates of raising the Confederate flag and imitating the secret signals of the Confederates, is unprecedented in civilized warfare. No nation on the earth has ever before been base enough to descend to such vile expedients. No chivalric people would desire an advantage gained by such infamous knavery. Yet our depraved, adversaries actually pride themselves upon the smartness of -1 !! 1 I T. .! sucu a cuwaruiy ana wickcci iriCE. it striKes us that the Confederate Generals should adopt the most summary measures to compel the Yankees to adhere to the rules of honorable warfare. They should formally notify the Federal Generals that every Yankee captured under the Confederate flag, or making Confederate signals, should be hung upon the battle field forthwith, and his miserable carcase left to feed the vultures. A Good Example. The o'd North State does not depend upon the Confederate Government for the care of her sick and wounded soldiers. She has nobly established a State Hospital at Peters burg, with three hundred beds, under the direc tion of her Surgeon-General, with a full corps of assistants and nurses. Not satisfied with that, she has leased another building for an additional establishment. Seed Yielding a Thousand . Fold. A con temporary journal says "The price paid for a newspaper is like seed sown in the ground, it brings back a thousand fold its value. Some people, however, don't believe it. They think two or three dollars a year, paid for a paper, is so much paid for a luxury, whereas, the truth is, it is so much paid for a prime necessity. A family without a newspaper, will have children brougbt up ignorant of the world and its concerns! The Entrance of thk British Vessel FlNGAL Providential Ocrurrnce. The follow ing is an extract from a letter from an officer iu Fort Pulaski, to his wife, which is made public: "The circumstances connected with the arrival of the Fingal at Savannah seems to have been a divine direction. The morning was ono of the most beautiful of the season, clear and serene when the Fingal hove in sight off the Fort. One of her officers insisted on going into Port Royal the harbor it was first designed to enter not knowing lhat Lincoln's fleet was anchored there. But another officer said, "No, be would make straight ior Savannah." Finding no blockading vessel near, the Fingal was steered for the bar, and soon di-covered the fleet in the distance, when a dense fug suddenly enveloped the whole squadron, and in the fog the Fingal was entered safely beyond the reach of shot and shell, when the sky and atmosphere became as suddenly clear as before it had been dark and foggy. Was not this miraculous and of Divine direction?'' Ice. We would recommend to our country frieuds, especially tho? in the mountains, and near the lines of railr ! adopt systematic and energetic measures for laying in as large a store of ice as possible, for we know no crop that is likely to be more profitable to its owners next summer than the ice crop. We shall have no more of the Northern commodity, and must look to our own resources for an article which has become a necessity as well as a luxury. Even if peace could be made, which is very uncertain, we ought never. to buy anything of the North, even that only product in which they excel us, and which is as cold and hard as their own wintry natures. m mi Cold-Blooped Murder. We learn that a most cold-blooded and unprovoked murder occur red at the house of Mr W. II. Patrick, in Wake county, about 20 miles South-west of Raleih, on Thursday the 12th. The facta of the affair, as testified before a Coroner's inquest held over the body of the murdered man by a jury summoned by Special Coroner J. C. Hunter on Friday, the 13th, are substantially these: Mr Jno. C. Can nady was inside of Mr Patrick's house, and hav ing started to go out, had just reached the door steps, when he was fired upon and shot dead by Jno.! Harwood, who was standing in the yard, but a short distance from the steps. Harwood gave bis victim no warning, and committed the heinous crime of murdering a fellow-being without the slightest apparent provocation. The murderer made his escape as soon as the deed was committed, and has net up to this time been arrested. There were two men present who witnessed the tragedy, but they were too much intoxicated, we learn, either to realize the extent of the crime, or to offer any obstacle to the escape of the heartless assassin. There had been at Mr Patrick's house during the afternoon a militia company on drill, but at the time of the murder all had left for their,, homes except the parties above mentioned. The mur derer, Harwood, is represented to be six feet high, spate built, dark hair, dark skin, inclined to a pale complexion, thin visaged, dark flesh moles on his face, with a downcast look. He ii about SO years of age. -: : - . :'- 31r"Cannady had but recently returned to his native county, having been absent from tbV State for aeveral y tars. 'Raleigh Register, ARcnuisnop Ilucncs. It has been supposed by the people of the South that Archbishop Hughes, of New York, had been sent to Europe for the purpose of advancing the interests of. the Lincoln Government by using his influohce to counteract the representations of the Commis sioners sent from the South., But the Staunton. j Va., Spectator expresses its gratification at learn ing irom a satisfactory source, mat ins mission is for a contrary purpose. From a Priest of the Church of which Archbishop Hughes is the head in this country, and who lives beyond the limits of the Southern Confuderacy, the Spectator learns that the Archbishop has been deputed by a coun cil of the " Fathers" of his church to use bis in fluence to secure the intercession of foreign powers in behalf of peace and the recognition of the independence of the Southern Confederacy. Advice to Planters. In tho circular letter of the Secretary of the Treasury on the produce loan, and the pipducc of cotton, the recommenda tion is made, Uut the planters should immediate ly take measures for winter crops to relieve the demands for grain and provisions, that they should proceed to divert part of their labor from cotton, and make their ovn clothing and supplies. The advice is good and pertinent. We have a war of uncertain length before us, a restricted cotton market, and consequent hard times. Provisions, clothing, shoes, &o., are high and in demand. J hese things our planters can raise and make. . Let the planters p large the grain crops; sow wheat, ryo, barley; avo peas, potatoes, pumpkins, make their own clotking for family and negroes, and save hides aod make shoes for themselves and slaves. These things must be made in the South, and they never will be made until the farmer and planter take an interest in their production or manufacture. Bounties. By a recent Act of the Confeder ate Congress, a bounty of fifty dollars will bo grant ed to all volunteers who serve continuously for three years or during the war. .Those who have volunteered for one year, will receive this bounty when they agree to serve two additional years; and will also be granted a furlough for not exceed ing sixty days, and a free passage home. But in case they decline the visit home, . will be allowed in money what the trip would cost. All troops re-enlisting after their present time expires, will be allowed to organize by the election of their own company officers. ., ;.. We learn that a bill has been reported by tho Military Committee in Congress to increase the pay of the army. It proposes an addition of four dollars to the monthly pay of the privates. -Rich moml Examiner. Re-enlisting.

In the recent battle at Belmont, Lieut. Shelton, of the 13th .Arkansas regiment, had his servant Jack in the fight.. Both Jack and his master were wounded, but not till 'hey had made most heroic efforts to drive back the insolent invaders. Filially, after Jack had fired at the enemy twenty-seven times, he fell seriously wounded in the arm. Jack's son .was upon the field and loaded the rifle for his father; who shot at the enemy thre times after he was upon the ground. Jack's s n hid behind a tree. and when the enemy retreated they took him to Cairo and refused to let liim return. Jack was taken from the field in' great pain and brought to the Overton Hospital, where he bore his suffer ings with great fortitude till death relieved him of his pains & misery. t His example may throw a flood ot light upon the fancied philanthrophy of abolitionism. Jack was a brave and obedient servant, and deserves all praise for his heroic con duct upon the bloody field of Belmont. Memphis Avalanche. . . Shoe Factory.

The Charleston Murcury, speaking of libraries destroyed by the late fire at Charleston, says that the Theological Library at Bishop Lynch's residence was probably the most costly collection of those lost being valued at $35,000. The gem of the collection was an bid Polyglot Bible, in six large folio volumes, which was the only copy of that particular edition this side the Atlantic. It was valued at $1,000. Good. The Manassas correspondent of the Charleston Courier says that a body of Yankees lately captured there "all wore elegant winter clothing and by the side of tbeir rough and mis-; cellaneously attired guard looked really like gen--tlemen. One of the boys in reply to a remark by a prisoner concerning his old clothes, told him the Yankees were very like a bottle of four cent whis- key. It had a very pretty label on the outside, but was mighty mean liqnor. The philosophy was as good as the truth, and the fellow had enough of both. . Another, in answer to some inquiries as to what he thought when he was cap- i lured, replied that "he hadn't time to think any. thing, for he was so scared he didn't know his gu& from a corn-stalk;."
