T$te Convention assembled on th morn ing of the 4ih, and unanimously elected Geu. Husk to prcsido over its deliberations. On taking the chair ho tnado a shit address, which was well delivered and suitable to the occasion. A committee of fill ecu was soon after appointed, wbo repotted by their chair man, Judge L-irpseoTnl an ordinance assent ing, on behalf of the people of Texas, to the terms of Auuexaiiou by the United State Government. It was adopted wiih one dis senting voice but five members absent. It was engrossed and signed by all the members present. It is not a little singular that the on ly dissenting voice was Kichard Barhr, the father-in-law of your Secretary of the Trea sury aud brother-in-law of the Vice t'resideut. Aftor the necessary resolutions were pass ed for the transmission of the ordinance to the United State.", u resolution was ofTeied by Col. Love, and unanimously adopted " That the members wear crape ou their left arm for one month, as a testimony of regret for the de cease of Geu. Jackson." Whatever differ ences of opiuiou may exist, as regards bis political acts elsewhere, Texas owes him a debt of gratitude. To him wo are indebted for the privilege of becoming a member of the Great Americau Union a incisure so import eat to us, and I hope to you-. The Conven tion thetl adjourned. It was a novel celebra tion of the Liberty Day to surrender the In dependence of our uatiou, aud by the act of tho whole people, assent to its incorporation with another, aud offer a tribute of respect to the mail through whose influence the measure was consummated. On the 5th we appointed committees on the plan adopted by the Virginia Convention, to report ou the various subjects xtibmilted. It called forth some discussion whieh was credi table to the speakers it was the skirmish that precedes more heavy firing. The delegates to the Convention, for intel ligence, integrity and worth, would .stand hih in any counuy. There is not, peihups, mm h of biilliancy, but a great deal of niatter-of -fact ecnseaivd sound knuwlege; and I predict tlr.it We ghbll form and send you a sound and sen sible Constitution, free fiom the worst features of u'traism. Tile terms of unneXation are not peihap such as we had u right to ask ; but so anxious are we to free the subject fiom further agita tion in the Uuited States, that no condition whatever will be auuexed to the Constitution differing from the resolutions passed by the United States Congress. A despatch was received from the Uuited States in themoruiug, and Major Doiinlson arrived on itte evening of tho 5th, haviug been detained pi Washington by seriou indisposi tion. jjThese despatches relate to the occupa tion of out froutier by your troops. They are uqjv oil' their march the foot by water to Cor pus Christ! on the west bank of tho Nueces ; aud the -dragoons by laud to Sfln Antonio The step is taken that will decide Mexico iu her policy. Koiuin troops will soon bo upon the soil she claims. Her choice must be a declaration of war ; or, if she is wie, a negotiation. She may ai quiio money- by the latter defeat aud disgrace by tho former. To-day a lesolution was parsed, requesting the President of the United S'ates, hi behalf of the people of Texan, to end troops forthwith to our froutier. This resolu tion is a sanction ou tho part of the people of 1 exas ot ho movement noted above. The intrigue of those iu power here, whieh iu its commencement was udvi-cd by the ex President, has been dissipated by the power of the people. The Executive- occupies no envied position; I am inclined to think he has beeu victimized by his friend and patron, as well as her Majesty's Minister. True to his faith, however, he issued his Proclamation, admitting a state op war and a disputed terri tory, which if not iuteuded as treason to the country, or proceeding from disappointed hopes, was excessively foolish. Lord Aberdeen has avowed to L7r Ashbcl Smith that ber Majesty's Government will uof interfere in the Question, so ho writes home. This removes oue of ffcre prospects of vrar ; so if yw gel fa loggerheads with John Bull, it must he about Oregon. Jouatbun will fight for whales aud lumber, but seems t i have little fancy for it if sugar, cotton or negroes have auy thing to do with tho matter. This once flourishing village is iu a state of entire dilapidation aud ruin. Gen. Tarrant, a delegate from Fannin, was ou a visit to San Antonio. He, with Mr Howard, delegate from that place, has for some days been expected. Paiuful appiobeusions have arisen for their safely, as many Indians are ot fbe front Jer, who have committed seve ral murders lately. We are eutirely exposed to the attacks of Indian -eard) Mexicaus not a soldier on guard, and bai few fire arms. So callous have the people of Texas become to danger, that they scarcely ever prepare to repel attack. On my way here I met a young man, with two young girls, in a buggy,- with my protec tion whatever from attack, almost af tire very spot where young Horusby bad been killed two weeks previous by the Indians. They were in high glee, laughing and talking mer rily ; I could but think that an hour might consign them to death or a worse fate ! The f lope Howes reports only 40 hours from Galveston to the Balize. The latest Galveston paper we have is of the 1 2th July. The British b i ig Porsian arrived at Gal- v TBtou a few d iys ago from Tera Cruz. She brought despatches for the Government, and was to returu a soou as she heard from Washington. It was rumored in Galveston that the was ther-e for the purpose of learning the fate of the Mexican propositions lo Presi dent Jones, and if they wie rejected, that the fleet of Mexico would he down on Galveston without delay ! We hope tho Galvestouians will not evacuate their city ou the stiength of this feat ful rumor! The II ou. K. L. Anderson, Vice Piesi deut of Texas, died on the 1 0th inst., at Fan throp's, Montgomery county, of fever. The papers arc in -mourning for ihfe sad 'event. Ashbd Smith has been recalled from Eng- l laud. Snea'kiui: Hsf this, the Ga"veton News of the Hih says Wohould like to kuow what he weiit for, what he has done, how much money he has pocketed, when ho is going again, aud what fdau will next be falleu upon to disburse out public funds." The following nrrtoiutmeuts have beeu try made by the President : Hon. Ebenezer A Men, Sectary of State. Hon. W. B. Ochihfee, Attorney General. Hon. J. A. Greer, Secretary ol the Pica suiy. The reports of the crops throughout tho coeiiiry aie toighly favorabte ; Galveston aud the other cities and towns continue healthy ; emigrants are fast passing into the country from the adjoining States of tho Union ; and the prospects of Texas, view them through what phase wo will, aro prosperous and en couraging.

From. the Union-- "THE RASCALITY OF PROSCRIP TION." We quote the heading of iheleadiug article in yesterday's National utelligencer, lor the purpose of making it the text for a few com ments on ".he subject which is thus introduced. Indeed, when a paper which prides itself iu maintaining a perfect propriety of deportment in tho worst of troubles, is provoked into the use of so coarse au expression as the one which graces the head of our ai tide, its read ets aud the public will infer the existence of some extiaoidiuary causes of the excitement it displays. Joseph Surface werer swore in public; the Mr Templeton of Buiwer ouly Uied a profane expletive wheu the pistol of the highwayman was at his head ; and great iu deed were the annoyances to which "our ar my iu Flandeis" were sulyected before they swore at all, much more betoie they swore (so) terribly." The editirrs of the Intelligencer, it seems, then, are in trouble. Capable ickigs, in their opimofi, have Itacu removed from office by itlis administration, to malte way for men whom they politely call lofolbcos.,, It is useless for us to attempt to console them by auy reference to the speech of Mr Clay on :his subject, to which allusion has so frequent ly beeu made. They would tell us, pcrhap, lhat what would have been right in Mr Clay, is extremely wrong iu Mr Polk ; and, iu proof that " circumstances alter cases," they uvighl refci us to the fable of the lawyer's bull that gored the farmei's ox. Bill the " proscription " nf which the Intel ligencer ?peaks, has been by no means as ex tensive as that paper would induce its leaders to believe. It has been by no Weans as ex tensive as the- proscription by the nhig iu 1541; not the ti'he of what it would have been, it" wo may credit their own orators, had they agaiu succeeded to power iu 1815. The "proscription," so mu h talked of, cannot have beeu very bloody, which has leit iu office, thus far, iu this city, so large a proportion of whigs. We have an illustration before us to the point, in the removals of postmasters for the four mouths ending tho 30th Juue, 1845, as contrasted with ihe removal made iu the same period ending on the 30th June 1841. We select h'3 two States in which the present aud former Postmasters General reside, for this comparison, as being perfectly fair, and suffi ciently extensive for the purpose i For the four months ending Juue 30, 1811, the number of Postmasters re moved iu New York amounted to Removals in Tennessee iu the san!j period 307 If Total For the four months ending June 80, 1S45, the number of Postmasters re moved in New York amounted to Iu Teuuessee, same period 31S 41 3 Total 44 More than seven t i one iu favor of ihe whig ! And we veutdre to say that this pro portion would hold dot tiirdughtiut all the other departments of the government. Constant readerSj as wo were ol Ihe Intelligencer, we have lio recollection of having seen iu the columns of that paper, in 1841, a word ou the subject ot the "rascality ol proscription. Ou the coif ary, if our memory serves us, it justified removals tbeu. But perhaps the "fiery tri.il" lo which it was subjected, last November, has taught it tho inexpediency aud impropriety of such a course. The disinter estedness of such a decision uow, is peifectly obvious. It strikes Us, that we have before heard of people who advocated the doctrine of an equal distribution of all the goods of this world. It is said, however, (aud per h;i jis with some degree of truth,) lhat people of this class rarely have auy thing of the. ; own to add to the eomnou stock. Ltt us not be understood aS offering the conduct of Mr Francis danger, or iho pre vious course of the whins as an excuse for anything this adrniuitraiion has done. Wheu e seek for examples, we shall proba bly look farther aud for higher models. The removals which have beeu intrde, have been imperiously called for by a decided aud irre sistible public sentiment. Other removals ui.l. no doubt, be necessary, aud will not be prevented by iho senseless clamor of the whig. Justification of a measure is uncalled for, when overwhelming popular approval sanc tions it. Au administration placed iu power by the voluntary suffrages of a free people, and industriously engaged iu carrying out the will of that majority, securely rels its con tide nee in the honesty and intelligence of the masses, and, in the p-osont case, is iu uo danger of being diverted from its purpose by the interest ed reviling of bitter opponents. Our object iu these hasty remarks has beeu simply to show how baseless is ihe charge of " rascally proscription," preferred by the lntelligeticer ; and to expose the diingenuousuess which is at the bottom of the accusal ion. A METEOR. A friend ou board the U. S. schoccuei Ou-ka-hy-e has favored us with the foil win : Ou tho night of the 2&ih of May, 1845, arbout 11 o'clock, we then being in lat. 13 N. long. 75 W, there appeared one of f"he most brilliant meteoric phenomena that I have ever witnessed. The whole heavens were illumi nated, aud seemed fur a moment as if about to break out into one exteuded sheet of flame. The meteor itself was about one-third the size of the full moou ; it appeared nearly in the zeuitb, aud travelled with au accelerated ve locity from NW. to SE., performing an area of about 25 degrees ; it then exploded, divid ing iuto several fragments, lookiug like so many nhootiug stars. Between eight arid ten minutes after the explosion, we beard a report resembling a distauigun, but more prolonged, like the rolling sound of distant thunder. 1 should judge that we were about 120 miles from the spot where the explosiou took place. What sensations it would have produced in oue who could have been within a mile of h, c;rn be but faintly imagiued. I have no doubt that if was an aerolite of the first class. The capfcrhr, officer of the deck, aud myself, were ihe only officers that had ihe pleasure of tfit nessiug it. .Yorfolk Beacon. Communications. For the North Carolinian. In two communications, published iu the Carolinian, "we have endeavored to show the importance of "establishing good roads from this place iuto the interior as connected with its future prosperity. We have also endeav ored to shew that the people of this town ought to interest themselves iu the road that is to be surveyed at this time by order of the State. This, however, is not the only subject that demands attention at the present time in re ference to the future condition of the place. But possibly it may be objected that alt sug gestions of change aud improvement are of doubtful expediency at the present lime. Yet at what time can the subject be better intro duced than when the very existence of the towu as a business phco necessarily leads people to think aud inquire what can, and what ought to be done to secure its prosperity? Thai, however, auy thing we cau say will serve lo arouse (he people to look at their condition in all its bearings and connections, we have not the vanity to presume. There are two extiemes in the state of a given society wheu an effort to give direction In opiniou, or even to secure a candid hear ing is hopeless. One is the exireme of ex citement on some particular object ; the her is the extreme of 'depression. Between these, (here is a suit t)f intermediate slate almost equally hopeless. It is a state of apathy or indifference to all public concerns. Thai this lut state describes our couditiou too nearly, we apprehend will uot be denied. The causes that h;ive produced this apathy, it is not necessary here lo lecite. But on lookiug around upon the population of the towu, it cannot have escaped observation that com paratively few think and 'talk aud act as if this weie their permanent home. UndorMirh a ffoatiug state of feeling, the calculations that are made, instead of reaching lar ahead for their completion, scarcely reach beyond the present time. The style of building has as sumed hitherto a temporary aspect. Our roads, and all schemes for public improve ment, have beeu of a do-for-the-presenl char acter. As if, staff in hand, we weie soon to leave aud march for other quarters. As Ihe business of a surgeon ofteu requires him lo probe a wound, frequently au unpleasant task, aud a source of pain to ihe patient, so every suggestion at improvement necessarily im plies a reference to things lhat need to be cor rected. Such a reference is not always pleas ant to those coucerned. Among the evi's which we hear frequently complained ofj among us, oue is the declining slate ot trade. That theie has been a great falling off in the amount of business done, cannot be denied. But that we have reached the limit of decline is we think by no means certain, unless new chauuels shall be opened through which bu.si it it i ... i. lless nall How. ivery year viriiesso a dimiuuliou. TweWo years since, many stoies iu ihe coouiry, doing ud small bu-incss, ob tained u large portion of their supplies, espe cially of" groceries iu this place. Now scarce ly any considerable trader comes here to pur chase, unless it be to supply some particular article lo make up his stoek. A greater part of the business How dbne is iu the way of re tail w ith planters, who wish to barter their commodities for such merchandise as they need for family use. Some of the smaller traders iu the country still, perhaps may make their principal purchases here, yet even these aro few, and not very distaut from the place. The limits of the ciicle of trade com ing from the interior are narrowing down lo a smaIlb.L extent. Littlb tenches us from be yond the Yadkin ; and much of that on this side is diverted to other places, whieh former ly came to us. The exteusive milling opera tions of the interior, and the establishment of Factories, it is tiuej furnish a hotiie market for iiiuch that oiice came to us. The opeuiug of new places of tiade, and the increased facility of obtaining goods through new openings, such as Cheraw and Camden ou the south ; Raleigh, Henderson, and Peters burg on the north, have done much lo remove business from us. The home iiimket in S. Carolina has also jreatly increased wilhiu a few years, so that much of what was Once brought this way, is carried uow iu that direc tion. Aud where pibduce is sold, there it i natural lhat goods should be bought. Thus the country bordering ou the Yadkin, which formerly, almost exclusively, obtained ult froiri this place, is uow almost as exclusively supplied through Cberuw. So also wiih many other heavy articles that are indispensable foi domestic use. These observations are not made for the j sake of decrying the place, but to shew what changes have irecurred to lead lo right expect ations for ihe future. The day for large trans actions iu trade is ione by, aud we fancy will never returu. The iufereucc we drew froth this is lhat the course of business must undergo a change. Trade there will be, to a certain extent, but it will be iu small parcels, and chiefly of a retail character. The Hue policy, tbeu, we appreheud for this place, is lo avail ourselves ot the privileges, which na ture has given us, and tuiu our attention to manufacturing concerns. There are few seclious of crur country more favorably situa ted Mr catryiug on various branches of manu facturing than this. With a river adequate to all the puroses of import and oxpoit ; with streams that never fail, furnishing good water power; wrttr an abundant supply oi tne nest of materials for build i us, what region affords better inducements for manufacturing? With manufacturing, a certain portion of trade must uecessaiily be combiued. And while manufacturing gave character (o the place, trade would increase, aud Fayetteville, if it did uot become a ceutre for large operations iif trade,- would become a ceutre for exchange of commodities for an enlarged circle around her. We are aware that in introducing such a change inveterate prejudices are to be over come, nud hdt a thousand objections will be offered by such as arts wedded to' former hab its and customs. If people are determined that there hal! be no change, the must go ou and abide the result. But is it wise 1 In other places similar prejudices have prevailed, but the people breakiug through the frammel of prejudice, have adopted new systems aud have risen-to wealth. And why not we as well t But where shall we begin? We have not the artisans or the means. Means will grow as efforts are made, and artisans will spring up as occasion calls for their help. There ore two objects before us, which if they can be established and encouraged will do much to give energy to different branches of manufac ture. Oue is the JVatioual Arsenal. If ihis shall be completed according to the original design, it will iu various ways contribute vastly t j the advantage of the place. The annual expenditure would go to eurich the commuuity, while the peifection of skill in troduced would give a new character to me chanical operations. Every honorable exer tion, therefore, ought lo be mado by the citi zens of this place to induce the government to carry out to the full extent the origiual de sign. Another object, which we almost far to name lest il be met with tho sneer of con tempt. It is the establishment of a Slate Penitentiary. Tho people are soon to be cal led upon to decide whether sttch au institu tion shall be established within the State. And here we cannot but express oUr regret lhat a formidable opposirio'u jfeehis to be or ganizing agaiut the measure. Believing as we do, lhal such an institution would be pro ductive of much good, we cannot but hope lhat the good seuse of fhe people will induce them to n'rccpl 'the proposal. And if buill, wheto wtH a more suitable place be fouud thau iu this vieiiiitv ? Private enterprise should also be directed to manufacturing purposes. Here we shall probably be met with au ob jection that ihere is a waul of capital. W hat we have befuru said may agaiu be uttered: capital will produce capital. There are vari ous branches of business that can be estab lished with a small capital; aud us these suc ceed, other and larger concerns may bo estab lished, instead of bringing every tbiug from the north, let establishments be formed for mauulii.2turiug the same things among our selves. Our uroom, our buckets, our chairs, our tools of almost every soil are now of north ern maitufactu'e. While we have the raw material iu abundance ; nay, and even while Ihe raw material is carried from us to be manufactured and returned, we are content to pay oibers tor doing for U what we ought to be doing for out stives. Nor are these ihe ouly or even the most ihipoitaut branches to which enterprise may be directed. Tnere is at this time wautiug a fouudery, and a Fac tory for constructing machinery ; and such Would meet, It well concluded, wiui ampie encouragement. As tho attention of people begius to bo lurued lo collecting turpeollue, a lUruenttne distillery is wanted. lucotiliec lion with this, in order to make the iestrtous part valuable, a ihindfar fo'y of lamp-black, aud to carry odt ihe operation, if needed, printers' Ink might be added. Au elablife- i.shmeut for all soils of edge tools could hard ly fail of success. Paper mills also might be established ; and beside, all the common ar ticles of dothentic economy, lor which we are now tit-pendent upon others. VYe are nwure that it will be said these things cau be manu factured elsewhere o much cheaper, lhat we cannot compete with those who manufacture ttleiri. W ny not ? The raw material cau be had here as cheap us iu auy ptace. Au ex tensive home market would be fouud in the interior aud elsewhere. Living, iu every necessary put, is as reasonable us in any pait of iho country. W Hy not Ifieii pUI our woik as low as iu other places? Cauiages can be made here as well aud Us low as iu New England ; so of every other kind of manufactured article. If we have to clothe aud feed two hands to perform what they do with one, dismiss then the superfluous haud, cr pot hirtl to oilier b isiuess. instead of mak ing all our sons clerks aud professional men, turn them to mechatlicni business. instead of teaching them to while away their lime iu fox-hunting, gunning, aud spoils of the turf, leach them die aits of life, aud how lo act their part so as to contribute lo eurich the co ri rniuity. Ileie is the set fet of pro-pjr ity. Arkwiiifht bennti the world in poverty; and amassed a priuely fortune.

SI VIS An important case h.is just beeu decided in the Supremo Court of Louisiana, which will send to Africa some six or seven hundred slaves. The late Stephen Henderson, who died some six years ao', directed iu his will. that his slaves, tiearseveu huue'red in number, should be sent to Liberia, by t?re Americau Colonization Society. His directions were, that at the eud of five years from bis death, the -laves should be permitted to draw lot, and t .e ten ou whom the lots should fall, should be sent to Africa ; at the end of teu years 20 should bo sent out, aod at the end of 25 years the whole of the residue, wun an outfit of $100 each. The suit was brought by the heirs against the executors, but the de cree of the Court m that the will must be car ried out, and the slaves sent to Africa. A similar case is pending in the Supreme Court of Mississippi, involving the emancipation of over two hundred slaves. Goon Ears.

An old resident of Texas, who had been opposed to annexation, attended the district court in this neighborhood, conversed with men from different parts of the republic, saw the flag of the Uuited States waving from liberty polos, and then writes to the " New Yoik Commercial Advertiser " that he was "enraptured, felt new life infused within him, and forgot everything but that he was an Americau. Every one he met appeared td have ihe same feeling.' We copy the concluding paragraphs of the letter in tho "Commercial," a paper ftiat Ws steadily opposed the admission of Texas ': tk Vou. of the noith if I may judge from yo'ur pubticfi'tions have formed an entirely wrong opinio'ii of tho moral character of ihe Tekiuns. Five of our district judges are professors of religion one a Baptist clergy man, who is deservedly and universally pop.' ular, on account of his amiable disposition and carhoirc principles. 1 "he other is a disl tiogSiished member of the Methodist Episco pal Church iu Calveston. His house has aC ways been a home for the clergymen of that denomination. Our bar would uot suffer by a comparison with auy bar in your Slate.
