Tlicso gentlemen have just returned from Austin, whither they some two weeks, since, for the purpose of accepting formally, for their company, the charter recently granted by the convention of the State, extending thn route through Louisiana, by two divergent lines, across the State of Texas.

It contains many facts ot interest, especially in, regard to tho different, harbors, and which will soon be of practical importance in connection witit our projected railroads to the- Gulf.

According to Mr. Ilawos, the harbor is rapidly and surely filling up, and Saluri'a is the only place on the Gulf where the commerce of the future can be i "Wo wonder whether those concerned in this publication imagined that it would prevent the railroad comin; towards tho Gulf, from Kansas, from making connection with 'Texas Central?

SEA ISLAND letter in the Charleston Courier says the Sea Island cotton crops are looking well, although they were beginning to need lain.

Great fears of the caterpillar were prevalent the planters. and we therefore do infer that it is not at all needful to suppose that the evils now prevalent in the United States will be cured by the empire." There is not that we know of, a better argument ia favor of the amusement of sotting up a monarchy in this country than that of Frederick Von Schlegel, when he says that if a people elect their rulers, instead of permitting them to be born, they are too apt to ascribe their evils and misfortunes to men when it would be more pious and seemly to attribute them to Providence, which, ho declares, is done to a very useful extent in hereditary monarchies. Now, it strikes us that we already have a little too much Providence in this country, and not enough of human responsibility, and therefore more of the republic would be the best cure for our disease. Schlegel should have seen that the spread ot' the idea of human agency could not but be the best lor diffusing and strengthening best conception of Providence, but it happens to him, as to all other imperialists, his best arguments for an empire are, properly understood, still better arguments a republic. The republic is the highest form, of and therefore its bf'Sfc form must be reached gradually, through many difficulties and by the teachings of experience.

We arc very glad, however, that the question of imperialism is to be discussed in this country, and shall not be at all sorry to see tho formation of a respectable imperial party--as these things will only serve to make us more certain that the empire will never be tried by tho American people. And if the Imperialist and its aids are doing any good, we think it is in helping to evoke the thought and attention which are necessary to the reform of abuses, ancl 1:1 showing the people that an obstinate determination not to improve the republic is the only thing which can lead to tho empire. We believe it was Kant who said that a republic could be just as easily established and directed as any other form of government, and we feel certain that the man who teaches otherwise has an unsound spot, cither in heart or head. It was Kant, too, who said that in the republic--not the democracy--more than in any other form of government, evils were counteracted by advantages. The root of this idea is found in the fact that tho republic differs from the democracy on tho'one hand and the monarchy on the other, in separating the government from the sovereignty.

In the democracy the people are the government as well as the sovereigns, in the empire tho autocrat is the sovereign as well as the government. In the republic the people retain the sovereignty, but are governed by representation and constitution, and we verily believe that whatever evils there may be in representation and written constitutions are neu- tralised by the fact that the people retain the sovereignty, and that whatever evils there -may be in the sovereignty of the people are neutralized by their placing the government out of their own bands. This idea might be elaborated, but we will only add that he who does not at once see enough in it to make imperialism seem stale, ought to give it the benefit of reflection. TRE IRON COTTON fire that broke out in a lot of 202 bales of cotton in a cotton shed in Memphis, on the 10th affords us another proof of the superiority of the iron tie. Although the whole of tho cotton was on fire, yet one hundred bales were saved good condition, besides what was more 'or less damaged.

The iron hoops held the cotton together so that tho fire only burnt the outside, eating out a little between the hoops, and ot course was readily extinguished by the, application of Wm. Wood, of the firm of L. H. 'Vyood tells us that he intends making a trip through the interior, representing his house, and endeavoring to find relaxation in -our State through the summer, rather than at crowded watering places ia other States. We think it would be better if more of merchants would visit the interior and become acquainted with the wants and necessities of the people.

Mr. Wood is a sterling young business man, and we wish him every success on his tour of.business and pleasure. We commend him heartily to our interior readers. ter; not doubting the least that such confirmation will be accorded them hero, as they have obtained in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. In fact, their charteiyas they believe, contains no unreasonable a and if they build their roads with dispatch, wo shall certainly all be profited by the introduction of so much capital into the State, and the development of so much valuable country by their routes of railroad.

Gov. Flanders has promised us copies of all the charters granted to their company, including tho charter from our Texas Convention; and we shall have the pleasure to hiy an abstract of their leading points before our readers. Observing among their directory the names of the first railroad men of tho times, including one name very familiar to Tcxans for many jears, in her great enterprises, we believe that this company is in grand earnest ia the proposed extension of their great lines through the State ot Texas. We loam that they have a powerful force at work on tho very difficult route from Mobile to Now Orleans and that their surveying parties are now at work through the State of Louisiana, with a view to the early construction of their lino to the Texas boundary; thus affording us the only reliable hope for an'early connection with New.Orleans and the Mississippi river. In this great work we bid them good speed.

COSGKESSIOXAL. We learn by gentlemen from the upper counties of this Congressional District, that Col. Eliot is there the favorite candidate for Congress. He has been addressing the people in connr.ction with General Hamilton, JudgeCaldwell, Judge Bell and others, and is reported to have made a favorable impression. We have never heard him speak, but arc told that his manner of address is prepossessing and effective--that he makes no display of oratory, but speaks to the purpose, in a straight forward, offhand manner, so as to.

be readily understood by the masses. It has been said that Judge Caldwell would probably be a candidate, but we are now assured he will not be. Although it may seem to some premature to enter upon tho canvass before an election is ordered, and without any positive assurance that it will be ordered, yet no harm will bo likely to result (provided the Conservative strength is not lost by being divided between opposing candidates. This is the strong negro district of -the State, and it was no doubt made in order to insure the election of a Radical to Congress. This design can only defeated by concentrating tbe united Conservative vote on one candidate.

As the canvass has opened so early, there ought to be lime enough for such concentration to be effected, and if this is not done by an 'agreement among the candidates for all but one to withdraw, the people should take the only left to save themselves from defeat by public meetings, and agreeing upon the candidate who shall receive the. entire Conservative vote of the District. FARE ON THE PACIFIC R.UXROAD.-- The papers of t-ho North and of San Francisco all seem to agree that the rates of treighi and passengers on the Pacific Railroad are so high that they will drive business away into its old channel by the Panama steamers, unless reduced soon. Passage from New York to San Francisco is- now $193 82 in gold, and for one ten of first-class freight $273 00 in gold, and still higher in proportion for shorter distances. The individual expense besides the fare is about $20 00 gold, BO that the passage from ocean.to ocean is very little short of 300 00 in currency.

Nothing but the necessity for saving time secure business to the road with such rates, and nine-tenths of all the business is under no such necessity. It is however said that a great reduction will soon be made, but it is -plain it would not be but for the competition of is T1J.TAS the ocean route. What a pity it there is not some competition to force all railroads to adopt reasonable rates. The proposed reduction makes the fare SI 00 00 for passage from Omaha to San Francisco, and f40 00 for immigrants. This great reduction in favor of immigrants is sound policy both for the interest of the road and of the country.

like discrimination in favor of immifrrants in Texas Would doubtless be a great encouragement to immigrants to oar State. Sim Antonio has gone to ivotk to raise the money to build a cotton and woolen factory. Tho Iferalil i the project will be pushed forward successfully. The San Antonio Express hns received a letter from El Paso, which says: West of us tho Indians are very troublesome; they arc committing continual depredations, as yet we see no prospect of their being subdued." We learn that the Indians who recently captured about 80 mules from a train of Messrs. Adanis Wickcs, numbered about 125 warriors and that they Jled with their booty in the direction of Mexico, there to dssposo of their spoil.

General JIoKenzio from the nearest Fort, started in pursuit about twenty- fonr hours afterward, with a hundred mounted men. But with such a start as the Indians had, it is scarcely probable that they will be found on this side of the boundary line. If, according to stereotyped army usnge, pursuit stops at tho Rio Grande," it might as well stop before it begins, anil save a useless expenditure of horse flesh. Antonio Express, 10th. We learn from reliable private sources that Brevet Lieut.
