I'Es:ea.—President Jones has- issued his proclamation calling a convention of delegates to assemble on the 4th of July' next, to decide finally upon the proposition for annexation ; and to adopt a constitution with a view to the admission of Texas as one of the States of the American Union. The election of delegates was to have been, held. on the 4th inst. The New Orleans Picayune in no ticing the subject says :—"lt would seem that the executive is cutting his wisdom teeth at last—we use the word seem to denote that the doubt which the previous course of President Jones had created has not been removed`•from our mind ; nor should any one relapse into a.state of security and confidence until " it is finished." " DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO AND HAIL *max.—A violent and most destructive tornado and hail storm occurred in De oto county, Miss., on the 13th ult., destroying everything in its course. It passed over Southall, Manning, Stokes, Smith, Alanson Trigg's (recently Col. - felix Lewis') plantation. On most of these and other plantations, the young cotton, corn, garden, and other plants _ are entirely .destroyed ; Mr. Trigg had 250 acres of corn, &c., entirely ruined in some places 100 to 200 trees were blown down on a single acre ; and not a leaf is left on tree or shrub. The hail was near three inches deep on the ground in the morning, and birds, kill ed by the hail, were scattered over the ground. Th t ,hail stones are represen ted as having een, on an average, lar ger than ounce bullets, or as large as paFtridge eggs. The hail iri some places lay in drifts near three feet high. HEALTR or MR. Donn.—The Pro vidence Gazette of Monday says We are pained to announce, that the health of tkis gentleman is probably worse than it has ever been before, since his. confinement. He is bent nearly double, with his old enemy the rheumatism ; and if not soon restored to a healthful atmosphere, must pay the debt of nature. In consequence of this information, touching the present condition of the prisoner, there are in creased,reasons, why his friends should be - moving, and speedily for his resto ration to the world. TENNESSEE.—The canvass for Go vernor- is going on this State with a spirit that shows that the democracy is wide awake to its importance. A. V. Brown, Esq., the democratic candidate, and Ephraim IL Foster, Esq., the Whig candidate, are traveling over the State together, and adAressing the people.- -The democratic papers express the greatest confidenare in the election of Mr. Brown. The election takes place in August next. LAW.—Who can depend, says the NeW York Sun. upon the results of a suit at law? The strongest Case takes sometimes a contrary course. The United States commenced a suit against the administrators of W. Hogan,Ae ceased, of New York, formerly a Con find. in South America. for $2,000. The case was tried in the IL S. Court, a few days ago, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of the defeudent, for 522,1338. WV6IING Inox Wonas.—The • Lu zern° Democrat says this extensive iron 'manufactory is pow in operation.— These worki are, owned by Thatcher: T. Payne,Esq.; gif ork, and arit, leased by Messrs. Murdock, _ Leavitt & Co., of the same city,Tor inanufacturing the pigs made at their 'furnace in-Dan ville. The mill is situate in South Wilkes.barre, about a mile from the Court House, and right at the crossing point of the Lehig_h Company's -Rail road, and the North Branch Canal,. There is' a fine farm attached to the mill property, and a large number of houses are already erectid for - the ac= commodation of their workmen. Our readers can form some opinion of the extent of the work, from the following facts. We - believe it is one of the lar gest rolling mills in the country. The size of the mill on the ground, is 285 by 184 feet. The refiners are 50 by 59 feet. The nail factory is 75 by 44 feet. In the mill are two engines, one of 90 and one 0f,60 horse. power. The lar ger one drives two sheet iron mills, forge rolls hammer; and it is contem plated to add to this machinery, one of Burden's rotary squeezers. The smaller one drives a largo mer chant mill, a rod and hoop mill. fans for the furnaces and blowing cylinders for Winery, &c. The number of hands employed in the mill \ is now 250. There are 9 heating furnaces, 7 double puddling furnaces. Attached to one of the refiners, con structed on a new plan, and capable of making 20 tons per day of refined iron, is a melting furnace tapping into the refinery. The nail machines, twenty-five in number, are driven by an engine of twenty-five horse power; they - now produce 30 tons of nails per week, 1,550 tons per annum, and give employment• to 31 men. The yearly products of the works, in manufactured iron and nails, without any further additions, will be about 8,- 000 tons. • Each of the large furnaces of Dan ville, yield 90 tons, and the smaller one 50, making 230 tons per week—and 11,960 tens per year. Deducting one fourth of this amount (Or castings made at the taps, will leave in pigs 8,970 tons. Allowing a loss of 17 per cent. (and it varies from 15 to 17,) on 8970 of pigs do munnfacturing-it into merchant iron, would be 1,524 tons ; so that the pro duct of the three furnaces in pigs, would yield in merchant iron 7,446 tons—or not an amount sufficient to supply this one mill. The yearly consumption of coal in the works is estimated at 14,000 tons, at a cost, delivered, say of $I 121 per ton. This estimate will put into the hands .of the coal men, yearly, $l5, 750. THE BURNT DISTRICT.—The Pitts burg Poet of Monday, says The appearance of many portions, of the burnt district is undergoing a rapid change, and in the course of a few months the most valuablo parts of it will present a very, different aspect:— Along Wood street there are. some blocks, the length of a whole square, built up to the first and second stories, and in a few weeks more they will be under roof. A number of buildibgs are already finished, and preparations are making for several hundreds more.— Before winter sets in; we expect that the burnt district will present the ap pearance of a handsome new towi; and in the course of a year or two it will be as completely annexed to the other portions of the city as itwas be fore the ‘, Union-was desolved " by the fire of the 1.0:1h of April. GENERAL JACKSON'S HEALTIL.--The Union of Tuesday night says :—‘. The rumor of the death of this distinguished man turns out, as we suspected. to he false. Gen. R. Armstrong our cougul to Liverpool, armed last evening at Washington, direct from Nashville.— He was at the Hermitage, in company with Dr. Felix Robertson, on the 15111, 10th, and 17th instant. The General's health - appeared to be nearly the same as it was when he wrote the President on the 9th—his mind, voice, and senses, all unimpaired. Gen. Armstrong is on his way to Liverpool; He is , accompanied by his son-in-law, Capt. A.. Harris, Tormerly of the United States army ; his son, Mr. James .Armstroug ; and his Baugh• ter, Miss Armstrong." fr:)t the Bradford Reporter.] To the voters of Braii:forit County , As the:time.is_fot approachiog when we as a,free-people. will be_ ailed upon totlepositin - the ballotifox our votes for -persons to fill the variiitii.offiees.ofthis County I would- therefore suggest the propeiefy- of oui .considerint Well our - course before - it be too late, as to the selections that are about to be made; I think we should endeatior to get honest, upright men—such 'as look( to the in terest of the many and not the few— niay we do, as did our Fathers - in the good old . days of Democracy . -•z Now I recommend as , the..Eastein - candidate for Representative, Doctor Mini-Fain cum), of Pike,- as being well qualified "for that office. l He, I'think, is ju s t the , , • 1 1 man we want at the present time. We have, as it so happens, fal:en upon the days of buying and selling votes, and Doctor Fairchild is the man that will not be bought by British nor American Gold; he is a practical Farmer—one that labors with his own hands , for the Bread that he eats,.and well knows the wants of the Farmer, the Mechanic, the day laborer, and in a word of the whole community ;—he ,is a Democrat in every sense of the word ; he has stood by the Democratic party from first to last ; he is one of those kind of Demo , f crats that would not go for the fleece entirely as has been the case with too many of our modern office holders.— Should I undertake to enumerate the evils that have fallen upon us by wroing Legislation, I should fail in the attempt: Well, what is the reason ? Why, the plain reason is, we have had too many silk-stocking officers. Fellow citizens, let us wakrup to the subject, and get more Washingtons and Jeffersons to fill the different offices ; why will we be duped any longer by political Dema gogues that make it their business to shave the people privately and publicly ? Let us shake ourselves from this 'tether gy,and let every democrat be at his post when the proper time arrives for us to make our selections. Parents, to you I now appeal ! Are not our children look ing to us for protection ? and how shall we do this unless we protect our free Constitution, by placing such inea in office as are Democratic to the back bone, not only in word but in deed : let us have for our motto, Liberty for the poor as well as the rich. Now, fellow-democrats, let us bear it in mind that Doctor Fairchild is to have a boost at the next general election, and by boosting him we give ourselves and children a boost towaards freedom.
