. Th Texas Boundary Question. The attention of the country is chained to the action of Congress. The Texas boun
dary bill is still a subject of alarming difl'er-
nct. Its cltimate fate cannot be foreseen.
" The people are in suspense and almost trtra Lie in anticipation of the result.
The fact that this boundary question con
tains the germ of a dangerous controversy
cannot be disguised one even more threatening to the integrity of our Government r and perilous to the stability of our Union
than the vexed slavery question. It prom

She must leave her people her home, and her father's chief, silently as the sunshine departs from the forest, and unite herself with Mokcna then, when the enemy is gme, she can again visit her homo, and unite as one the nation of her chief and the nation of her fathers."

The Prophet was successful, nnd after arranging his plans, he sought the chief of the Ottawas. His wily tongue here employed iiself in planting suspicion in the heart of the chief against Mokena, whom he had heretofore admired and trusted. The Illinois might no iv perish before the eyes of the Ottawas, and receive no assistance, for the Prophet had convinced the chief that Mokcna had not only secretly worked against his peple. but even at that moment was laying his toils to steal his daughter the daughter of the tribe. The Prophet even spoke of the young chief as then about starting on a secret expedition for the purpose of obtaining Etak, and warned the Ottawas to be on their guard. They heard and believed, for the Prophet was known nnd feared amoir them aa the visible voice of the Great Spirit. The plot was now laid, and the Prophet ! i . i i i

"Washington, Sept. 3. SENATE. 'Mr. Dickinson gave notice that he would
report the Post Olliee bill on Wednesday. The bill to create the cilice of Surveyor General of Calitbtnia, and ;rant donations of lands to actual settlers, was taken up. and the various amendments of the committee on Public Lands dispose of. The deh.itc was continued till 1 P. M.,
when the bill was laid over till to-morrow. On motion of Mr. Clav, the bill to abolish thefclave trade in the District was taken up. Mr. C. briefly explained and advocated the bill. His object was to aldish this trade in the District, and stop the bringing of slaves there and placing them in depot, not for the purpose of sale to the District, but to be sold and shipped to Southern States. The bill did not propose to interlere in the least with
the sale of slaves by one inhabitant to another, nor pro vnnt such inhabitants from going out of the District to purchase slaves for his own use in the District. It was iu fact simply n revival of the law ol Maryland on this taib-
ject, as that law existed at the time of cession
of a portion o! her tcrritorv to the Lovernment. It was simply to cxe.Iude traffic in the District which had no communion whatever with ir. After some verbal amendments were adopted, Mr. Foote moved to substitute for the bill, cne to place the entire subject under the control of the corporate authorities. Mr. Hunter opposed the biil as being a serious aggression on the South.
