IjwtttMJttS ffeMitg. Deposition of Sam Houston. The circumstances attending the deposition of Sam Houston as Governor of Texas, were quite dramatic, and in some respects ludicrous and comical.. The Convention of Texas, called by the loud voice of the people against" the denunciations and opposition of Governor Houston, havipg passed the act of secession, and accepted and ratified the Constitution of the Confederate States, prescribed a form of oath to be taken by all the State officers. This oath included a renunciation of all allegiance to all foreign powers, and especially to the Government of the United States, .J - J.i.4.:. UlHl U UCUlill ULIUll Ul .iXUCill^ IV L11C VUU" stitution of the Confederate States.. When the oath was proposed to Governor Houston, he peremptorily refused to take it; whereupon the Convention declared the office of Governor vacant, and Lieutenant Governor Clark, under the Constitution, having taken the prescribed oath, succeeded to the office. Governor Clark was not slow in entering upon the Gubernatorial functions, and proceeding to the Governor's office, assumed the chair and entered upon the duties of the office. By and by, the deposed Governor came hobbling to his office.old Sam's San Jacinto would having broken out afresh, as it always does on occasions of political trial. Perceiving Governer Clark occupying the chair, Old Sam addressed him: "Well, Governor Clark," giving great emphasis to the title; "you are an early riser." n 7 »» n " x es, vrt/terui) repneu uiu \juveinor, with a great stress upon the military title of his predecessor. "I am illustrating the old maxim, 'the early bird gathers the worm.'" "Well, Governor Clark, I hope you will find it an easier seat than I have found it." "I'll try to make it so, General, by conforming to the clearly expressed will of the people of Texas." The General, having brought a large lunch-basket with him, proceeded to put up numerous little articles of private property, and to stow them away very carefully. Catching his foot in a hole in the carpet and stumbling, the Genereral suggested to Governor Clark that the new Government ought to afford a new carpet for the Governor's office, whereupon the Governor remarked that the Executive of Texas could get along very well without a carpet. Approaching the washstand, the General called the attention of Gov. Clark to two pieces of soap.one, the Castile soap, was his own private property ; and the other a perfumed article, was the property of the State, and added, ' ^ "Governor, your hands will require the very frequent use of this cleansing article;" whereupon Gov. Clark, pointing to the washbowl, which was full of very black and dirty water, remarked: General, I suppose that is the bowl in which vo.u washed your hands before leaving the office." Having gathered up all his duds, old Sam made a little farewell speech, very much in the style of Cardinal Woolsey, declaring his conviction that, as in the past, the time would soon come when Texas would call him from his retirement, and he hoped Gov. Clark would be able to give as good an account of his steawardship as he could now render. Halting at the door, the General made a profound bow, and'with an air of elaborate dignity said, "Good day, Governor Clark." "Good day, General Houston," was the Governor's response.. And thus the "Hero of San Jacinto" concluded his political career !.A7. 0. Delta. Quite Ready. Mr. Russell the Times' correspondent, was sent years ago to Ireland, to report O'Connell's speeches during the repeal agitation. The following is told as the result of his mission: "One of the first meetings the newspaper man attended was in Kerry. Having heard of O'Connell's polite qualities, he thought he would ask that gentleman's permission to take a verbatim account of the oration. The "liberator" not only consented, but in his oiliest L manner, informed the assembled audience that "until that gentleman was provided with all writin' convaniences, he vrouldn't spake a word," assuming an extra brogue, which was altogether unnecessary. Russell was delighted. The preparations began, and were completed ; Russell was ready. !"Are you quite ready?" asked Dan. "Quite ready." "Now, are you sure you're entirely ready?" "I'm certain, sir. Yes." The crowd becoming excited and impatient ; Dan said : "Now, 'pon my conscience I won't begin the speech till the London gentleman is entirely ready." After waiting another moment or so, O'Connell advanced ; eyes glistened ; ears were all attention, and the reportorial pencil arose. Dan gave one more benignant smile on the correspondent, . winked at the auditors, and commenced his speech in the Irish language, to the inexpressible horror of the present editor of the Army and Navy Gazette and to the infinite delight of all Kerry. | A Model Letter. L The following letter was sent by a ^ lad of the Irish persuasion, to a nephew of the same way of thinking, who resij.j IT :n. r : ueu in namiHun, viuu, imuruimg iiiiu I of the death of an uncle. Dear Neffa :.I hadn't sent ye a letther since the last time I wrote ye, because we have moved from the former place of living and did'nt know where a letther would find ye, but I now with pleasure take up my pen to inform ye of the deth of yer livin uncle Kilpatrick, who died very sudden last wake after a lingering illness of about six wakes.. The poor man was in convulsions the whole time of his illness, lying pefectl)1 quiet all the while, and spaach'less entirely, talkin' incoherently, and cryin for wather. I had no opportunity oi informing ye of his deth sooner ixcepl I wrote ye by the post which went twe days before his deth, and then ye'd hac the postage to pay. I'm at a loss te tell ye what his deth was occashuned by but I fear it was his last sickness. H< niver was well in ten days together in the whole time of his confinement, but be that as it will, as he breathed the last the doctor gave up all hopes of his recovery. I needn't tell ye anything about his age, for ye know that in May next he would have been twenty-five years ould barren' tin months, and if he would have lived till that time he would be six months dead. His property is very considerable: it devolves upon his kin, who is ded some time since, so that I expect it will be divided betwane us, and thin my dear Larry, ye'll git two-thirds of the whole, and ye know that he had a fine estate which was sold to pay his debts, and the remainder he lost on a horse race. But it was the opinion of all parties that he would have won the race if the horse he ran against had'nt been too fast. bad luck to the baste. But, poor soul, he will ate or drink no more. And now Larry, my dear boy, ye an't a rel&shun in the world but meself and yer cousins that were kilt in the last war. But I can't mourn upon this mournful subject, but sale this leether with black salin' wax, and put on yer x -r T Is. UQC16 S CUUi U1 <111IIS. UU J. ucg jrc nut to brake the sale when ye open the letther until three or four days afther ye resave it.be that time ye will be prepared to hear the mournful tidings.. Yer ould swateheart, Mary, sends her love to ye unbenown to me. Whin the bearer of this arrives in Hamilton, ax him for the letther, and if he don't know which one it is, tell him it is the one that spakes of yer uncle's detli, and is saled in black.

At a trial of a trespass before one of the ward magistrates of Rochester, a long, loose-jointed canal boy.whose pants were short at both ends, one tail of his coat torn off, and minus of both sleeves.was sworn as to what he knew in the case. His evidence spread the guilt on the defence rather too thick for the counsel, so the latter commenced with a brow-beating, consequential air, his cross examination: "Well, sir." "My name ain't sur, no how." "Boy, then." "T> V xl "l m no r>oy, nuiner. "Is it lad, then ?" "Not egzactly." "Then what in the name of thunder do they call you?" "Ragged tailed Bill.Hoss." "Well, Ragged-tailed Bill, Hoss, what time of the day was this you speak of." "I don't know egzactly about ten miles after sunrise." "I hope the Court will oblige this witness to answer my question." Court."Bill, explain to the gentleman what you mean." "Well, I had drove ten miles since sunrise and we got about two miles and a half an hour; let him find it out by his learning." "What business does plaintiff follow ?" "I don't no sicli a man." "What, don't you know what plaintiff means ?" "No, no more nor you knows what time of day ten miles after sunrise is." The laugh began to be against the counsel, Iwt he brightened up, and made fight again. S* "2sow tell me, Bill, where all this happened ?" "I told you once; 011 Loafer Bridge." "Who was there besides the parties?" "O, a whole parcel of loafers." "Well, what were they doing?" "Why, I s'pose loafing about." "So, on Loafer Bridge, a whole parcel of loafers were loafing about. Is that all you know about it ?" Here the witness stooped down to get his hands in his pantaloons pockets, and looking up, said: "That's uni." The laugh was again against the counsel, he regulated his papers and was non est. An Irish Wide Awake..The "rush for office" at the Custom House is immense. Some idea may be formed of it by the distant reader, when we say that Mrs. Burke, the famous apple and peanut woman in the rotunda, is in .1 i. 1 uangei ui ouxug iciuuvcu. xcsieiuuy, she was interrupted by one of her sex and country, who desired to know by what steps Mrs. Burke secured exclusive permission to sell fruit to the Custom House. "By long service to me adopted country," she answered sharply. "Are yez a Wide Awake?" "St. Pother protect us, what's them ?" "The noble band that elected Ah'ram Lincoln." "St. Bridget do you hear the mostheen? Me a Wide Awake! St. Patrick banish the serpent! An Irish Wide Awake! Do you think the blood of the Burkes, that never paled at a failin Ireland, has degenerated in America ? Go away wid ye, ye hussy !" and the frightened office seeker did go, and quickly too..Boston Courier. « »> Mixed tjie Babies..At Chicago the other day three ladies called to take tea at a boarding-house, bringing with them their three babies, all very much alike. While the mothers were at tea the unsuspecting innocents were left lying upon a bed, and a couple of waggish young men of the house improved the occasion to slip in and change the clothing of the babes. When the mothers departed for their respective abodes at n'ght they Selected their peculiar babies by the*Clothing, and great was the trouble onanod nnd it is not settled, for "4uw4 v"ullvm) 7 two of the mothers cannot be certain that they have got the right babies yet, and are troubled with tormenting doubts.

Dixie's Land. The following fanciful and ingenious interpretation of "Dixie" is sent us by a lady correspondent: THE ENIGMA SOLVED. "The owner of the copy-right of Dixie's Land has realised four thousand dollars by the sale of that song." This item of intelligence, which has gone the rounds of the newspapers, excited some surprise in the minds of those who sim- ply consider Dixie's Land a song like other songs. "The air is pretty enough," they say, "but the words. why, they are perfectly absurd! What can have given it such a sale?" Do you not know, questioner, that Dixie's Land has become the "National Anthem of Secession?" That it is called for in Southern Theatres, and received with cheers and applause, while "Hail Columbia" and the "Star Spangled Banner" are hissed down ? What, though it was composed by a northern man ? Did not Baptise Lulli compose "God save the King," in honor of Louis the Fourteenth, and was not that splendid anthem stolen, re-arranged and anglicised for the glorification of "Great George, our King," by Handel ? Why, Yankee Doodle itself was written, air and words, by a Surgeon of the British army, during the revolution, to express his surpreme contempt for the Americans. But the Yankees captured the tune and aggravated the mortification of their baffled oppressors by playing it to them.reminding them that their defeat was sustained at the hands of an enemy whom they had contempt- uously derided. Dixie's Land, then, belongs to the South by right of seiz- ure, as do the forts, the arsenals, the mints, taken from the General Govern- ! ment by the seceding States. And the words of that song. With 1 feelings of unaffected hesitation and gen- uine reverence do I approach the dis- ' cussion of this delicate subject. I crave the earnest attention of all true South- s emers to the great discovery I am about ( to make public. That poem, lightly denounced as "meaningless" and "ab- 5 surd" by unimaginative Submissionists \ and taunting Republicans.that poem 1 is an allegorical prophecy, quelling sus- 5 nieinu nfits true character hv annarent 1 literalness, but in reality profound, exact and awe-inspiring as the mysterious oracles of ancient sybils, the wonderful "second-sight" revelations of Thomas the Rhymer and other Caledonian ( seers, or the still more amazing pre- s dictions of Merlin, which, delivered in i King Arthur's time, are being even now i fulfilled in England. i I do not speak unadvisedly or without i being able to bring ample proof of the < truth of my assertion. A very cursory i examination of the song itself will be < sufficient to convince any unprejudiced mind of its allegorical shape ; and when { it is considered that the words were com- 1 posed more than a year ago, when the I events to which it so evidently refers 1 were }Tet in the womb of the future, and t the man, whose star has now risen tri- i umphantly above the political horizon, had scarcely been heard of beyond his . own narrow circle, its prophetic character will appear undeniable. To begin the analysis : The first verse simply, but forcibly, recalls to the mind ' of a Southerner on a foreign shore, "his own, his native land," where his * childhood's happy days were spent. where the endearing ties of memory and ( association are still remembered; and 1 then, in the spirit of Allan Cunning- ' ham's well kpown lines. "lis ImiiiP.hnme, haute, tlmt I fain would Ih. Haute, liauiu, liauie, itt my aiu couiurie I the chorus bursts forth with a passion- 1 ate wish to return to his beloved mother- 1 land: an earnest resolve to live and die ' in her bosom. This first verse is literal, S and serves as a further mask to the ob- , scurities which follow. i Now begins the allegory: < Old Mistress married Will, the Weaver. ] William was a gay deceiver. Look away, look away, look away, 5 iiixie Laud. j Here is wisdom. The figurative "old , mistress" is Columbia.no longer, alas! , a happy land.who, with blind confi- ] deuce places her fate in the hands of. | of whom? Who is the second metaphor- ( ical personage ? No other than Abra- | ham Lincoln, President of the United . States. The significant title, "Weaver," has been, from time immemorial, applied to spiders, and from them trans- fcrred to politicans."weavers" of cun- ning'plots. . ( The name, William, is added partly for the sake of alliteration, and partly (as in Scriptural phophecies dynasties are mentioned as single Kings,) to unite into one peVson, influenced by the same motives, resolved to carry out the same line of conduct, the President and his principal adviser, his guiding spirit, whose given name, singularly enough it really is, and in a secondary sense, the whole Republican party is implied by that phrase. This artful schemer's moral character is then summed up 111 one comprehensive phrase which needs 110 comment; and the Southland is entreated to turn way her eyes from the sad spectacle of misplaced confidence.ofaffection doomed to betrayal. Next follows a terse description of the fierceness of his countenance.the outward sigh of a ferocious and pitiless disposition: "This face was as sharp," &e. The dark threats of coming storm.the warnings of approaching danger, which alarm all around her, are unnoticed, unfeared by the infatuated Columbia. And again the chorus peals out that longing patriotic cry.again avows thatbolude- * * -1 I 1 A 1 termination to sianu oy our aitars anu our fires.to die, if fate wills it, for our sunny land. Sudden and awful is Columbia's awakening from her dream of peace and repose, when she is irrevocably in the power of her terrible master, whose very smile is as dreadful as the flash of a cannon. Aye! look away, hapless chil; dren of a doomed mother! In her is no > help! Protect yourselves ! Raise your r own banner ! Keep your oft-reiterated . vow to stand fast by your laws and lib" ^es* And then comes the catastrophe.. , Cold and pale, at last, lies the noble , twm of Columbia, victim of an ill-assorti ed union, of infatuated trust in designated politicians. Sadly to the sky still rises the wailing refrain. Look away.look away.look away. Dixit- Land." But for us who survive, better days are dawning. Secessia, benignant goddess ! smiles on our standard, and stretches her protecting icgis over us. In the concluding couplet of the lay with which she has inspired her chosen jard, (for he "builded better than he knew," and but dimly understood the vast import of his verses,) she assumes the protection of the South.not only of the States who first invoked her aid, but of all others who may join them. A mistress of a different stamp from Columbia will this new protectress be. No divided counsels, no clashing interests, mark her regime. Her cool-headed statesman will legislate with dignified wisdom in the halls of her Capitol.. Her soldiers, whose fame is above susnieinrt and her sagacious and exneri- x. ' ~~o . ~"r enced military engineers, will guard her well-fortified coasts. Where is the doomed foe who shall dare attack them ? "Now, here's a health to the next old Missus, And to all the gals that want to kiss us !" Virginia! Kentucky ! Tennessee !. Will not you join your sisters ? Do you not yearn to bestow upon them an embrace of sisterly love ? Will you not fly from the baleful sway of William, the Weaver, and take refuge in Seccssia's open arms! "In Dixie's Land take up your stand, To live and die in Dixie." Can any one now fail to see that, in the verses of this deservedly popular song, an epitome is given of the events which, since last November, have shaken this land? The election of Lincoln, the decay and dismemberment of the United States, the threats of civil war, and the rise of a new power in the South, are all foretold, and even an invitation to join this nacent empire extended to the surrounding States! The most skeptical must at least confess that these verses contain such an extraordinary series of coincidences as was never before heaped together by the hand of jhance. There are those, we are told, in Scces>ia's own domain.some even in the eloquent Preston's gallant little State. ivho doubt Secessia's infalibility and secretly acknowledge the Weaver's right :o rule over them, though public opinon obliges them to wrap their views in such a mantle of dubiosity as this adapt?d epigram expresses: "Cod bless our President, the South's defender! (Jod bless.no harm in blessing the Pretender! Which that pretender is.Davis or Lin- (Pardon, shade of Bryon'.' Surely, tliese double dealing malcon;ents cannot now listen to the spiritstirring strains of Dixie, or recall the mmortal verse to which that noble air s united, without yielding to the confiction that Secessia must be, because die was foretold. Let them, then, throw )ff the fearful mask, cast aside all doubts, ill fears, and bravely espouse the good jausc. May Secessia's real character, her lims and tendencies, become widely vnown, as they deserve to be; and may ;he great people of the Southern and jorder States join heart and hand to relist the wiles of scheming politicians, ivlio would betray and enslave them. jjssy "Two or three weeks ago the Edgefield Advertiser accused the Home Journal of "toadyism in the direction )f Lincoln." "We had failed to see this, ilthough we read the Home Journal lsually with a great deal of attention ; yet, knowing the Advertiser to be one if the closest readers amongst our exjhanges, we concluded it was so, and esolved to keep a bright look-out to ice if this hitherto high-toned Journal, ;hedelightof Southern as wellasNorth;rn literati, was stooping to the low and ,-ile filth of abotionism. We do not yet enow that the Advertiser was mistaken, [t has, however, been contradicted "distinctly and emphatically" by a southern writer (?) to the Washington States and Union. Wc sincerely hope, for the honor of letters if for no higher >r more practical consideration, that Morris and Willis, both of whose names ire wedded to American literature, will keep the Home «Journal where it has always been heretofore, entirely above suspicion. Let us have amidst the unjrothcrly and contemptuous deprecia- tion so universal at the North, at least 3ne paper that ''floats to us simply upon the breast-deep current of human sympathy." The above is from the Yorkvillc JEnyuirer, and we copy it mainly to agree with it in its appreciation of the Home Journal. There is no paper in America for which we have a higher regard. And Ave believe its distinguished edtors are pure men, and patriots untainted with sectional error. Their paper too is as remarkable for its fairness, as it is for its excellence. But the "distinct and emphatic" contradiction of the said "Southern Avriter ta tho oontrary notAvithstanding, Ave did see a five line paragraph in one number of the Journal that seemed to us to "incline to toadyism in the direction of the Lincoln s." It Avas a notice of them after the fashion of allusions sometimes made to Royal personages,.a small matter, to be sure but inclining, as avc thought and said, to court bobbery. It is with regret, however, that Ave find our brief comment made so much of, North as Avell as South. With this single small exception, and Avhich we have construed amiss, avc have seen nothing in the col- umns ot the Jaome Journal that could prejudice the most sensitive southern reader. Will the Mobile Register, Yorkville Enquirer, Washington States, N. York Day Book, and other papers that have noticed this matter, please give room to our explanatory remarks..Edgefield Advertiser. Forts and Fortresses..There is but one fortress in the United States. fortres Monroe; all the other fortified places defending our harbors are called forts. The distinction between these two terms is very wide. All fortresses are forts, or fortified places; but all forts arc not fortresses. All colleges are schools; but schools are not colleges. The relation of forts to fortresses is that of minor to majors A fort may be simply an advanced work, to protect the extended lines or walls ot a fortress.. Generally, fortresses are expensive encientes, for the reception of garrisons, and built for the protection of cities.. Fortifications in this country have hail 1 reference principally to harbor defence. Fortress Monroe, with its capacity for . a garrison, was constructed for the defence of the important navy yard of i Gosport and Norfolk, now in the pos- 1 session of Virginia or the Confederate ( States. The construction of the extensive < walls of a fortress involves the highest ] science of engineering. Not so with ( forts. The former implies polygons, bastions, curtains, glacis, covered ways, planks, scarps, ravelins, redans, re- \ doubts, and the whole vocabulary of engineering science. Add to this, the idea of a vast cnciente or circumvalla- ( tion to contain a large garrison of troops, , and a fortress rises to its proportionate majesty..Savannah Republican. 1 A Mexican Saint.

Tiie Right Spirit..Under this heading the Mobile Register of the 17th inst., has the following : In private conversation with a leading merchant of this city, yesterday, we found that he and a number of others, ranking among the most "solid" men in the community, had determined to subscribe for the loan to the whole amount of their indebtedness to Northern creditors, upon the principle that the first fire exchanged between the Confederate and United States troops was an inauguration of war, and that their duty to their own Government compelled that course. The moment the independence of the Confederate States of America was recognized, they would be prepared to settle the claims of Northern creditors.
