Just as we were going to press, last week, we received the news that the President had arri ved al the Spr ings, and we had only space and lime to make a short and hurried note o< the gratifying intelligence. Since then we have had the pleasure of taking the old veteran by the hand and now have the gratification of in forming his numerous fiiendsin Bedford county, that he is in the enjoyment of excellent health, looking even better than he did when here last summer. The multitudinous and harassing cares of his great office, do not seem in the least to impair fiis constitution, nor has the vindictive ness of political enemies, or the treachery of former friends, made the slightest alteration in his wonted geniality ami good nature. The proud consciousness that lie has done his duty, buoys him up above every wave of trouble and brings him that peace of mind without which the bloom of health must surety pale arid lade away. The President will remain here till next Wednesday, unless affairs at Washington de mand his return to that place sooner, fie is accompanied by SIR WM. GORE OLSELEV, lady and daughter, of England, MRS. and Miss BRIGHT, wife and daughter of Senator Bright of Indiana, and Miss LANE, the beautiful and accomplished mistress of the White House. "SIGNAL OP DISTRESS." MR. JORDAN, in his last issue, publishes a long article under this significant caption. The article itself, however, without the index to P is feelings afforded by the heading, is sufficient to show that he is in great distress. He is fear ful lest he can no longer wheedle the Ameri cans into the support of Abolitionism and, therefore, hoists this "signal of distress." He says that the Americans can go, if they will a bandon all their principles—they can join the Democracy, if they will yield up all their doc trines. MR. JORDAN knows very well that the Americans will have no opportunity of voting their peculiar sentiments at the coming elec tion. He knovi's that he and other pretended Americans have crushed out their organization and have established upon its ruins the Aboli tion party, whose candidates are John M. Read and Wm. E. Frazer. He knows that the Amer ican party have no candidates for State Olfi ceisand that they are bound to choose between Abolitionism and Democracy. He knows, too, or ought to know, that since the Americans have abandoned their secret organization, and have given up many other doctrines at first held by them, the only difference between them and the Democratic party, is on the question of the .Naturalization Laws ; whilst on the other hand, the Americans differ with the "Republicans," or Abolitionists, not only concerning the Natu ralization Laws, but also concerning slavery and the integrity of the Union. MR. JORDAN knows these things and trembles as he meditates 4ipon them. "SNOOTS? 7 Let all who glory in the English language as their vernacular, rejoice, for a new word is born unto their "mother tongue." Let English men cry, Ilosanna to Francis Jordan ! for he has enriched their darling old brogue with a most beautiful and sonorous term Classical, imusical, and monosyllabic : expressive, compre hensive and pointed elegant, chaste and poetic; practical, sarcastic and suggestive,—the word "Snoots" is destined, beyond the possibility of a doubt, to become one of the leading nouns in j the nomenclature of our language. Hereafter, School-committees will reject all editions of Webster that do not contain this invaluable word. Hereafter no poem, novel, essav, nor I any literary uoik shall be complete without it. j And thus lias FR. JORDAN immortalized him self! Ever after to be known as "SNOOTY JOKBAX What a destiny, what an enviable tame ! Certainly, a man of intellect so tower ing as to be able to invent this precious word ■deserves the Abolition nomination foi Congress. Those ot o:ir readers *vho have not seen last week's Abolition organ, a-e informed that the editor, MR. JORDAN, says we have been making "snoots * at him, and "tells the master** 4 about it in a lugubrious editorial of over half a -column in length. Hence our remarks printed above. I; Our talented young friend, JOHN A .MAR SHAL!., Lsq., of Philadelphia, is at present so journing at the Springs. MARSHALL is a sound .and deserving Democrat. OPPOSITION COUNTY CONVENTION. This body met in the Couit House on i ties day afternoon last, ami distinguished itself by nominating the most unpopular and lea<-l deser ving men that could be found in the ranks of its party. SAM'L J. CASTXER, the only man that the Opposition in ih is district could elect, lat Fall, and who was entitled by the usages of a! i partips, to a re-nominal ion, was thrown overboard and (ico. IV. WILLIAMS, of Napier, a man .vho is scarcely known beyond tlie limits of his own township and there onlv as a bigoted, stolid hater of the Democratic paity, was set up in his stead as a fit man to represent the liberal-minded ami intelligent peo ple &f Bedford and Somerset, in the nest L"gi?- iature! Other men, besides Ulu. CA3TNEK, who are infinitely better qualified for the posi tion than MN. WILLIAMS, were candidates for the nomination for Assembly, but were con temptuously laid on the shelf. There was MAI. RI PP, and our "taiypnted" friend FILLER, ami MR. SATTERFIF.LP, and others whose nomina tion would have been much better received by the ma-s of their party, but all had to tall a sac rifice, as did MR. to the pre-concert ed arrangement in favor of WILLIAMS- made by a certain clique in this borough. CIDF.ON D. TROUT, of St Clair, received the nomination for Commissioner. We are rejoi ced at this, as MR. TROUT is decidedly unpopu lar and will be beaten by a large majority, fie is a fish that will be easily taken. For Pooi Director, HC.fP.y HOKE, of Snake spring township, was nominated. Like bis as sociates on the ticket, MR HOKE lias no strength. The Democracy of Bedford county will lake pleasure in giving him leave to stay a! home. The Convention was not a full one, a num ber of townships being unrepresented. Discard | and ill-feeling characterized its sittings and | we understand that several delegates withdrew j when it was in the midst of its deliberations.— In short, the doings of this Convention, itsbick- I eringsand quarrels, its unfortunate nominations, and its contempt of former party usages, augur a triumphant victory for the Democracy of Bed ford at the coming election. NEW MAIL ROUTES. The following mail loutes, several of which are entirely within the confines of this count v, were established during the last session of Con gress i From Bedford, via Rains-burg and Chenevs ville, to Eibinsville. From John P. Krighbaum's, via Palo A'.to, Bridgeport and Buffalo Mills, to Mann's Choice. From Ray's Hill to AkersviJle. From Ilarrisonville, via E. Sipe's Mill, War fordsburg, to Hancock, Maryland. From Coaltnonf, via Broad Top, New Grenada, Dublin Mills and Foit Litlbton to Burnt Cabins. From Fannettsburg, to Cariiclc Furnace, in Franklin county. From Harrisonville, via Saiuvia Tannery West Dublin and Wells' Tannery, to Hopewell. These routes were all much needed, especially the first two. The region between Mann's Choice and Krigbaum's, in this county, has always labored under great inconvenience in obtaining mail matter a? also that between Kainsburg and Eibinsville. Through the faith ful and energetic action of our Congressman, HON. WILSON REII.LV, mail routes, as above mentioned, have been established by Congress, to relieve these districts from their isolation.— We hope that the necessary post offices will at once be opened along these routes. DECLINES THE HONOR ALEX. K. MCCLCRE E-<>., of Chambersburg, who was lately prominent for the Abolition nomination for Congress in this distiict, has declined that honor (') and has become a candi date for re-election to the Legislature. The Colonel is a shrewd politician, and, we hare no doubt, came to the conclusion that the chances for the election of an Abolition Congressman in this district are rather slim. "Coming events cast their shadows before." [TP" MR. FORNEY is very much exorcised concerning President Buchanan's reception at the Springs. We can inform the redoubtable Colonel that instead of being less coulially le ceivrd than heretofore, the President is enthusi astically welcomed by his old friends in Bed ford county. Many of our sturdy farmers have come in to see the old Statesman who never saw him before, and one gray headed old vet eran walked twenty miles, the other dav, in or der to take our Pennsylvania President by the hand. But can MR. FORNEY say that when he was here a few days ago, he was treated with the same cordiality and confidence by the Dem ocrats of Bedford as he was wont to meet with in days gone by ?

MESSRS. MEYERS &. Hi SFORK Gentlemen : Cine year bavins; elapsed since you look charge ol the "Bedford Gazette f i rpice to learn, by vonr last issue, that you have realized your highest expectations. If you had not, I should have been greatly disappointed, lor a nobler or a truer body ol men than the patrons of the Gazette, are not to be found. lam pleased to be able to say, too, that you have merited theit approbation, in an eminent degree, by the course of noliey you have pursued during the year. When older editors (altered, and were too timid to defend a great principle, and others were governed by that selfish spirit of yielding rig/if to expediency, the Gazette promulgated view.-; which are destined to live whilst the Con stitution of our country exists. "Da right and feur nut," should be the motto of every Demo cratic editor, and lie who adopts any ether course,even in the darkest and most trying times, w ili find that he has been building on a sandy foundat ion. Yuu will kindly allow me to correct a very gross error into which you have (alien. You assert that, "lor upwards of fifty years, the Gazette has been the untiring advocate of Dem ocratic principles." The Gazette never was the advocate ol Democratic principles until a few months before it passed into my hands. — Prior to that time, it was, to the fullest extent, an organ ol the Federal Party. Cms. M> Da\v- F.1.L., Esq., who established the paper, never made an v profession of Democracy until Gtt.x. J A (is SON vetoed that Monster, the of the United Stales, hn which occasion he ahandont l his forjiit-r partv and its odious principles, and commenced battling manfully for Jackson and Democracy. This was the condition in which I found the Gazette at the time ] purchased, and it is highly important that this fact should he kept fuirlv before the people, in order that Democrats may not be misled. The opposition in Bedford County have used all the ingenuity at their command to create the impression that the (iazette is now what it always wis, and, by this false clamor, succeeded in deceiving some very men. Air. McDowell was a radical Democrat at the timeof his decease, but he w as in full communion with the federal party until tiie Bank i t to opened his eyes to its enormities. For upwards ol 26 years the Gazette has been the "untiring advocate of Democratic princi ples," as a reference to its files will abundantly prove. Vou claim the credit oi being the first to pub lish a paper in Bedford for one dollar and titty cents a year. This is the fact, but the subscri ! hers to the Gaz> tie never grumbled at two dul j lars a year, and I do not think any man should be asked to publish a country weekly for less. The spirit infused into the Gazette by its new editois has rendered the paper more interesting ; than it was in former days, and J think I know ! the character of your subscribers well enough ! to say that they would cheei fully have paid you I two dollars a year for your energetic labors.— ! 'The very low pi ice, however, at which VOII i offer the Gazette, should be the means of intro j ducing it into at least every Democratic house : in the county —anJ, il some of the many good and active men in our ranks would take this : matter in hand, it would not be long until the | end would be accomplished. The facUhat ci ty dailies pu* their weeklies at one dollar, and j even less, is no reason why the country- press ' can afford to do so. fhe man who asks the j country editor to do this is totally ignorant oi i '.he degrading request iie makes. No man per ! foims more perplexing lahor than the country j editor, and the dignity of the profession de i mands that he should be paid as liberally as 1 Others. May the futdre of the Gazette he j still brighter. With such noble men as BURNS, BECKLEY, | Lose, AMOS, and DKVOBE, on your county Tick et, your success is sertam, as a matter of course. The Convention could not have selected a more unexceptionable Ticket. Every Democrat will feel it a pleasant duty to give to such men a warm, cordial and enthusiastic support. I would love to renew my former associations with the people of my native county, and if possible, 1 will be with you at some of your Township gatherings during the campaign, where I may take my old and valued friends by the hand once more. My heart is in that locality, and no change of place or circumstan ces, can ever alienate my aflecticns from the people of Beuiord county. ! Things seein to look well in the State, notwith standing the amalgamated opposition claim to he able to carry it by thirty thousand. As the of fice of canal commissioner will be abolished at the next session of fhe Legislature, the only matter ol State interest is votir Supreme Judge question. In the person ol WM. A. PORTER, you have a candidate every way worthy the exalted trust lor which he has nominated : and if he fails at the polls, it will be because he has not boldly met and endorsed the policy of the convention which nominated him on the Kvi sas question. In fact, it is a matter of contro versy as to which side of this question he holds to, and he is not disposed to give expression to h si views, as we are told in his late 4th ol July letter. In other words he thinks it improper in Judicial candidates to interfere in politics. This is conceived bv many to be a great mistake on his part. Judges of Courts -sh&ak! not be petty politicians, but they should always be willing to give a reason for the faith that" is in them, especially when candidates for political favor. Mr. Porter can expect no support ex cept from the Democratic party, and the way to get that is to show himself willing to endorse emphatically, views enunciated by a Democrat ic President, a Democratic Congress, a Demo cratic State Convention, a Democratic Slate Legislature and almost the entire Democratic press throughout the Union. A neutral candi date, at a crisis like this, will not he tolerated by the Democracy of the old "Keystone Stale'' and the sooner and plainer the fact is announ ced the better. Dtjmt, at the present time, is ten-fold more desirable, than victory with can didates who do not fairly and squarely stand up on the National Democratic platform. I perceive the members of the different reli gious denominations in Bedford have organized a "Young Men s Christian Association" in that place. I hope it may do good, but my own o pinicn is, that the Church is (he only true "Christian organization" and to this point all Christian men should turn their attention.— There are many men who even now agree that a Christian Association, or nn Odd Fellows I/wlge, or some other society, is as well calcu late! to promote the cause of religion as the Church, although in many instances these "in- Jt was at the earnest solicitation o( many of our patrons that we reilnecii the subscription piiceofour paper.— Kos.

EDITORS : Since my communication of date the 17lh Decentber last, published in the "GAZETTE of Jan. loth, isf>R, 1 have received several letters from persVos living in Pennsylvania, , • natives of that - state ant! residing elsewhere, asking "forty leyen" questions about Texas and (desiring replies "to them, at tlie same time, ex pressing a desire if satisfactory answers were ; made to their inquiries, to immigrate to this land |of Canaan, a land almost literally flowing with | milk and honev. 1 have thought that another | communication Irom me, published in your valuable paper, would accomplish much more than could be done in any other way and would be satislactory to (hose desiring information of the character alluded to. Texas is regarded by many as an unhealthy country, but my observation and experience teach me that this is owing in a great measure to locality and to the quality of the watei made use of. The location upon a hill, or in a valley, in the timber, or on the prairie, using Well wafer, running water, or cistern water, no doubt contributes very much toward ma king this or that particular place healthy, or unhealthy. And the variety of locations, the quality of the waters and the peculiar tastes of individuals upon these subjects vary so much, that no general rule can he lai I down as to the most healthy situation. The water in Austin County is almost of every immaginable variety, hut it is admitted by all, f believe, that cistern water is the best and most healthy every where. The water of wells dug in sandy land is gener ally considered soft or five-stone. Schools arc growing up throughout the country, under the liberal provisions ot our school laws. .Many of the schools are ot a high character.— Baylor University at Independence, is con sidered a college of a high grade, and capable of conferring an education equal to any in the country. Austin College at Huntsville, is also a good institution, also Soule University, at Chapel Hill. The first is under the control of the Baptist Denomination, the second the Presbyterian and the last the Methodist. llay ler, 1 believe, is considered the leading institution in the State. The Common Schools, however, by which the gnat mass of the people are to be educated, are rapidly coining strength an i attracting the attention of the people. "iVxa is doing a great deal for the cause of education: he newspapers are liberally patronized : few families are so sic in flint ed hut that they can afford to subscribe for one or more newspapers: and so, by some, or all of these means combi ned, we doubt whether as a whole a more in telligent people can be found than the people of Texas. Government lands can be bought for $l,OO | per acre, but lands ran be pnrchaed as cheap j o'f individuals as of the State. The pre-einp li in law Has repealed by the last legislature. ■ Texas has an immense quantity qf fand yet open for settlement. Every thing is raised in Texas that is raised any where else in the IT. S., and j io enumerate what the different soils are adap ted to would take too much space. Mechanics' wages are much higher here than in Pennsylvania; I should think, generally, about twice as much. Common School Teachers charge from $1,50 to $'2,00 per month , and can get in almost anv ' neighborhood, from 20 to 40 pupils at that, f ; know a young man, a Pennsylvania!!, who is j teaching about ten miles from this place, who i has very little, of any thing, beyond a common- School education : is an excellent teacher, is : now teaching his third or fourth year at the | same place, and to prevent his leaving, is this i year paid $5OO salary. The .Northern and Southern paits of the I State, are, countless, best for one of small means ; who designs either fo raise stock or cultivate j the soil. In proved lands partly prairie ami | partly limber, sell at rates of from $5.00 to , $25.00 per acre depending upon locality and qual-ty. j Slock cattle of all kinds hear a reasonable price at all times. At a public sale a few da\s ! since, a lot of stock cattle sold for $6.50 per head. Wh<n cattle are sold by the lot, they ! consist of cows, calves, yearlings and ttvo year | olds, an equal number of each. This was con \ sidered cheap on 8 months credit. The co'-n crop, this year, is abundant, and will probably sell for 25 cents perlnisliel which ; is very low for Texas. Those who wish for further in forma! ion, ran : belter obtain it by subscribing for some one 01 more, of our excellent Texas Newspapers, of which I will name so ne that will give them j incidentally, all the in forma! ion tliev leqnire. I They are, " Texas Baptist," published al Aruler j son : "Texas Christian Advocate,'' tialveston: I "Houston Telegraph,'' Houston; "tialveston j News," Calveston; "State Cazette," "Intelli gencer," ami "Sentinel," published at Austin: "Brenham Enquirer,"' Brenham; "Dallas Her ! aid," Dallas; anJ many othe; s. The religious 1 press is, peihaps, the best for those residing be yond the State, as it is constantly receiving communications from various parts of the St te on the subject of religious revivals, &c., and in cidentally of the state of the country, crop-, schools and school teachers, prices of produce i &.C., and for this purpose, I would particularly recommend the "Texas Baptist," published at Andersen, (.'rimes C'ountv, Texas, at $2.50 per annum in advance, I would also particularly reconunend to those desirous of general infor mation about Texas to send to Kichartkoa ,V (!0., (•alvcston, Texas, Ibr a copy of their Texas Al manac, fur 1 8: >/, 1S:)8, price, with out map, -J") cents, with map 50, cents, besides [Kistage. A Pennsylvania gentleman who wrote to me some time since, sent me at the time he wrote, some sweet potatoe and squash seed. 1 distrib uted the seeds among several individuals and so tar as I have heard from them, they have done very w. 11. I gave some to the landlord with whom I board, and a few days since we had some of the squash for dinner, and it was excel lent; the landlady said if was the best site had evei seen iu Texas, and all tiie boarders coitifi d. .1 with her in opinion.

Letters written at •■< amp Scott"' and statements of travellers assert that Gov. Gbmuuing left "Camp Scott"' for Sa!t Like City April (>lh, in pursuance of positive arrangements entered into by Col.

It is tiue, Brig ham Young was notified of the Governor's in tention. Gov. G.'s motive for al tempting to go to Salt Lake City and endeavor to a-sume the duties of his office without a military escort, was his full confidence in the moral cllicacy of our political institutions, and also his appre ciation of the wishes of the adiriinistiation to resort to every peaceable means to induce the Mormons to yield to the laws ol the United Slates. Gov. Cumming, by his bold and patriotic movements last April, has, in my opinion, [ire vented civii war, the loss >i many lives, and ex penditure of milli ms. The Governor lias by his manly course secured the entire confidence of the people of the Territory . Yours, Nr., TilUTil. Hon. JefftTsou Davis on (he Inion. Among the passengers of the ship Joseph Whitney, Captain Howe, from Baltimore, which was making for the port of Boston on the kth of July list, was the distinguished senator, Hon. Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi. There was on board an unusally brilliant array of pas sengers from different parts of the country, and, upon the patriotic suggestion of the captain, it was resolved f i celebrate the day in a manner befitting the great anniversary. A Committee was appointed to invite Senator Davis to make an address. He accepted the invitatim, and delivered an impromptu oration, which is spo ken of as characterized by ' singular felicity of • liciion and impassioned eloquence," and which commanded the admiration ol those who lis tl . ii. We make from fhe report of the spe c!i the following extract : "An I th:> great country will continue uni ted. Trifling politicians in the South, or in the North, or in the West, msv continue to talk otherwise, but it vviil be of no avai l .
