gress in the United States, 3,90G miles of

Railroads,the aggregate cost ofwhich amounts to $119211,S97. There are over 2,000

miles of Canal in eperation and nearly completed, and if we add to these the Railroads recently projected, we shall have an aggre

FROM TEXAS. So far there seems to

be very little prospect ot a fight with the Mexicans.' Gen'!. Taylor is encamped ai Corpus Christi, with about 2,000 men, and

more are daily arriving Gen. Arista is in

. the neighborhood with about the same nuni

ber of Mexicans but it is said that Taylor,

himself, does not anticipate a brush with the

Mexicaus. It is believed that if Arista had marched at once upon General Taylor when

the latter first landed, he might easily have

overcome him, and so on with other deiach

inents as they continued to arrive; but it is

now too late. The N. Orleans volunteers1 have already reached Gen. Taylor. The Cumauches are .much delighted at the idea of the United States making war ajaist Mexico, and show a disposion to take a band. 300 of them were at San Antoino and informed Col. Twigg of our 2nd Regiment of Dragoons, that they were going towards the Mexican frontier intending hostilities against the Mexicans, Our troops must be on the qui rite or the Cumauches will cheat them out of both spoils and glory.

The New York Courier remarks that al

though it sees noticed the applications of

"numerous gallant citizens" for appointments

in the army at this time, it finds nothing said

of any of these applicants volunteering their

services as privates. Oh no! The modern

patriots go entirely for the pay and prorant! Those who cant get contracts will serve as

officers! - - .

OREGON A New Move but. as Old Idea. ! A letter of a Mr. Peter H. Bennet, who appears to be a citizen of Oregon, and a man of note among the settlers there, has recently been published in the papers of this country: "Ere this reaches you.says Mr. Bennett, 'pe rhaps you will have learned that we have a regular government in most successful operation in Oregon. When I first reached this region, about a year age, 1 thought an attempt at organization Wight

be premature. Iliad not, however, been here long before it was conceived that a government ol. sumo kind was ineVitabe it crew out ot

stern invincible necessity. Our commercial

and business transactions were considerable. Difficulties are daily occurring botweeu individ

uals in relation to their c!aims;ihe estates of de

ceased persona were daily devoured, and help

less orphans plundered ; crimes were committed,

and the base and unpfinci plod, the reckless and

turbulent. were hourly trampling upon the. rights

ot the honest and peaceable. . A civilized population, numeruu as we were, could not exist

without gove rnnient. 1 The thing was impossible." Wo therefore organized a government ot

our own. The Territory is divided into five counties, in each of which there are two terms oT the circuit court annually. There is but one judge, who discharges the duties of probate judge and chancellor, and all other judicial duties, except such as pertain to justices ot the peace. The statute laws of Iowa have been adopted by the provisional government. , . "The letter states that the country is most beautiful, fertile, and well watered. The pop ulation doubles every year. The crops of 1844 were abundant, the settlers will have wheat for exportation. A newspaper is about to be established.. "We can. then,' tays the leiter.'publish our laws.' The following passagh has interest

in it: . , , . . v 'We are now waiting most anxiously for the result ot Fakeuliam's mission, and it, the two Governments have not settled the question between them, the in oin tut that fact, is known there will be one universal movement, made. A regular convention will be held and a constitution adopted,' (republican no doubt,) and an independent government put-in operation at once. Necessity will compel us to the step. The population of" this country are no doubt desirous to live under the Government of United States, but if she will never do any thing for us we musiand will do it lor ourselves. The people here are woru out by delays and their con. dition becomes every day more intolerable. I speak to your with greni candor, for you know me, and know that 1 withhold nothing and disguise nothing. We are welt satisfied that the

United States Government as well as Great Bri

tain could not object, and would not object, if

weioriii an munpenueni government lor our-

selves, suuateu as we are. Treaties must be

formed with the Indians, and many otherthings

01 importance must ot neeesity be done."'

The New Era of St. Louis thinks that there is more danger of lose ing Oregon from' this source then from the encroachments ol England. "Oregon and California,' remarks the Era embrace much fine country, an extensive aeaco&st and ample commercial advantages,' and, by being united,, they may torm a gret independent Republic on the Pacific. This appears to he the desire and expectation of a large portion of the settlers, and is much favored by their local situ-

' ' -''.-': r' ..'- ! Modern democracy, however, pronounes it treason to talk of giving up one. inch of the soil of Oregon, and U determined to retain the whole territory; right or wrong, eve at the 'expense of wur with Great Britain. ' We will see whether modern democracy can make good its position when opposed by the yeouie of, the teritory themselves. ' ' 1 " ' '

"Old Htjxkehs.'" The."Harmenious Democracy' are getting into a glorious snarl, each squad abusing the other without stint. Chapman, at Indianapolis, is pegging away at the "old hunkers," and .ripping up the old

sores that have been festering around , the seat of Government for years, if not with the most skillful hand, certainly .with as much relish as any man ever entered upon a dirty job. The United States Journal, and one

or two other papers are at the same game, and in a short time we may expect a Kilker

ney cat affair. That portion of the parly styl

ed "old hunkers" having enjoyed the offices of State and National Government so long, will not see the bread snatched from their watering mouths without au effort to retaiu it. and we shall soon hear from them in reply.

The following exposition of''o!d hunkerism" is copied from an Ohio paper. Mnch of it is true, but we are ot the opinion equally as hard things could bo said of the other wing of the

party: t- " J "Some people appear to be at a loss to know who are old hunkers"' so much talked j of. If that is all they wished to know they can soon find out all the wish or desire. The "old hunker" in tbe.democratic ranks is a . fellow behind the democratic tendencies of the age he opposes democratic progress by standing still when all the world around him are moving forward. lie sticks to papsrmoney "like grim death to a dead nigger;" and has not mind enough to, perceive right from wrong. Such there are in the democratic -ranks; but they are being left so far bkuixd , in the race with tne democracy who roll the progressive bail, that nobody knows where - to find them!!

"These are the men who have ridden up--. on our necks like the old man of the sea, in the story of Sinbad the sailor, they are the

blessing to our cause. They, have retarded ' our onward progress have held in fetters the

free spirit, which would otherwise have ex5 plored the yet undiscovered regions of hu , man improvement and universal happiness. The time is rapidly coming when their paralyzing and corrupting influences will become extinct.

sufficient population there will exist a strong temptation to fall off aud establish a seperate independent Republic. "California and Oregon will naturally unite, and when united they will, naturally seperate from the distant Goiernniela on which, they are now dependant. They will soon find that their

peculiar and local interests will be negleeted by a distant General Government! aud that they have many interests separate from and conflicting with those of the Atlantic States. -- All these thing would tend to induce a separation, and it would he doubtful! whether the ceuntm. acting causes wont J be sufiicie lit to- prevent a

1 he opinion is very Ireely expressed by persons who have lived in Oregon and California thatthe emigrants already look forward to separ

ate independence, and the provisional govern

ment ot Oregon seems to have been founded on (lie supposition that such a result was probable. The continual influx of emigration to the Pacific coa-t-will cou'inualiyjgiie additional strength and confidence to the inhabitants of that retriou

of country, aud encourage them to attempt the

establishment ot a seperate nation in thatcxten sive country. ' -

Such a result would speedily put to rest all

controversies about the. owuersliip and boundaries of Oregon and California, and the riht of discovery would yield to lhe right of 'occupancy and actual possesion. ' ' 'Tlmse.whu are making themselves miserableiri

Congress aud as a remarkable instance of politi

cal-foresight, we append an extract Irpm his speech upon that occasion : ! . "Mr." Benton proceeded to th next inquiry the effect which the occupation of the Columbia would have upon this Union. On this point he could speak for himself oniy.but he would speak without reserve. He believed that the union of

;hese Stales ould not be jeoparded by the occupation of that river, but that it would be the means of planting the germ of a new and independent Power oeyond the Kocky Mountains. There was a beginning and natural Droress in

the order of things. The military post on ihe

river would be the nucleus ofa settlement. When arrived at some degree of strength and population the young society would sicken bf a military

government, and sigh lor the establishment of

a civti autnority, A .territorial (Jovernment obtained, the full enjoyment of State rights would next be demanded ; and these acquired, loud, clamor would soon be heard against thehardshio

this would be in the regular order of events and the consequence should he foreseen aud provided for. ' 'l'liis Republic should have limits. The present occasion does not require me to say

we can speak without reserve ; and the ridge ot

the Kocky Mountains may be named without

everlasting boundary. Along ihe back of this ridge the western limit 01 this Republic should

be drawn, and the statue of the tabled god Ter

never to be thrown down. In planting the seeJ of a new Power on the coast of thePacific ocean

it should be well understood that, when strong

Gen. Gaines axi .his Requisition.

The New York Post recalls to the memory of its readers, a certain requisition that was

made on'the uovernor 01 lennessee some

years since for a considerable military force

The grounds of the requisition were that a

large body of Indians were collecting in the

woods on our frontier, probably with some hostile design. 7 The Governor of Tennessee

refused the requisition, and the Secretary of War afterwards disavowed its propriety.

This requisition was. made by Gen. Gaines.

After the Governor of Tennessee had refu

sed the requisition, it was made upon the Governor of Louisiana He not only refu-

, - ... sed it, but published his reply, which contained some very severe remarks in relation

to the subject.' Nobody ever heard of the hostile gathering of the indiaus afterwards. The ten thousand - Mexicaus that were in

eight days march of Gen. Taylor, like Fal-

staflf's men in buckram,' turns out all a lie

With such statesmen as Polk and his Cabi

net at the head"of the Government, and such

a granny as Gen. Gaines to direct our troops, we are likely to become' the launhin'i-stock 0.0,

of the whole civilzed world.

MR. CLAY AT THE SPRINGS. , The arrival of Mr. Clay at the Greenbrier White Sulpher Springs, ..has enhanced the interest of a visit to tht snot, and the company there is .-.now above 500. We . learn from the Chronicle, that MrJ Clay alighted

from the public coach at Lewisburgon Thurs

day met with several of his acquaintances

among others, the Judges of the Court of Appeals -was escorted by." his ancient and venerable friend, Judga Brooks, to the Lewisburgh Hotel, and, after spending only a few minutes in conversation with those of the citizens who had known him before, entered the coach again, for the "White," where he expects to remain ten days or a. fornight. Speekingof the magicof a N.ME,the Lewisburg Chronicle alludes to the absorbing interest and curiosity ' excited by the arrival of ; this truly distinguished personage, and says: - ' j "Despite 41II the idle abuse and base detraction of his enemies, which have howled around him, as a storm, for so many years, HENRY CLAYris greal great in the spon

claimants the $275,001 which Congress di

rected him To do, if he found that Mexico had paid the U.S. Agent - the instalments

of Apiil and July of last year and re"

ceived from that agent an acquitance therefor. It is asserted that he would have paid the money over, being satisfied that Mexicohad received the receipt of our GocernmenCs

Agent for' the same, but for the noise the uewspapers and Ietier writers have made about the matter. ; How this is I know not,

but an vpright President' would not be deterred from doing a just act, authorized by Congress, towards a class of .suffering citizens, by any sort of newspaper noise. LOG-ROLLING. The Political Beacon,

Mexican Ixuejixits-. From a privle let

ter, says the New York Express, dated Mex

ico, July 2Gth, 1845, recuived by a gentle

man in New York, we deri ve information that

on the 31stinst., a motion was made in Con

gress to call on the Secretary of the Treasu

ry for a written report on the, subject of the

payment of the two missiag1 instalments of indemnity, which produced a very lengthy and

animated disctision. Mr- ,Trigueros, late Secretary of the Treasury, and Mr. Voss, the

af ent of the United Stat s, were handled most unceremoniously; and! the ex-Minister

of the United Sla'jes', Mr. Shannon, was like-

livlco ul-jootci to- oome criti cal Terniirk. The

motion was finally carried by a vote of 27 to

2G, and wv are now likely to get possession

of the leading facts in the mysterious affair.

A copy of the lepart will.be forwarded jo us

as soon as practicable aitei it is made public

in Mexico. ;-

ALL PARTIES PLEASED. Facts are great deal better tean theories.-

Two facts exhilfjd by the statistical report of

the commerce of the United Slates we trusi will be set down and reinembred, viz:

1st. A high tariff does not preven exces

sive importations.

2d. a high UriQ does not prevent the expot

tation of specie. - ,

The above is from New York Journal of

Commerce." We are "lad to see such state

ments in au out-aud-on,t fiee-trade paper.

If the high tariff that is, the tariff of 1S42

does not prevent excessive importation and

and the occasional exportation of specie, ol

course the free-trade people cannot complain,

as they have their way. Well the piotec-

tive tariff people, including the rnanufactur

era, are content with the present tariff, not

withstanding the excessive importations of

merchandise and the exportation of specie

Both parties can live, and so all satisfied. It

must be thatthe tariff of 1842 s ihe juste mi

lieu so long sought. We shall, then have no

alteration in the tariff. U. S. Gazelle.

SCARCITY IN SOUTH CAROLINA,

A correspondent of Charleston Mercury, wri

ting from Spaitanburgii, paints a very gloomy

picture of the prospect for bread iu that sec

tionj and from information received by' him it seems that the whole upper part bf the Slate is in the same starving condition. He says:-- ' . . "Our people are already sending their wagons jnto Tennessee fur Corn thereby necessarily enhancing its price to rales, and utterly placing it out of the power of the poorer la boring class to obtain bread; Many of this class are already living by the charity which has not yet quite failed but whichraust tail if relief from some quarter is;- not -afforded them.' The monied resources of the upper country are so. near dried up that the capital is not amongst us to relieve our people. It is true they.are emigrating in droves,- yet charity ttmot sustain the balance. It will be impossible for your readers to realize the excitement now prevailing amongst all classes, or to credit without plenary ptool the lamentable conditiou of tiie fartniug inteiest. The crpp that is now making is. almost exclusively confined to the bottom lands the up-land in many places is sototal a failure that nnny are cutting down their fiields tosave the stalks

for fodder. There are hundred of acres that

will not make the seed planted. 1 know

men, who in ordinary times are called good

livers, that will not make as many pecks as ihev usually made barrels of Corn. ..Men

speak with fear and trembling at the prospect

before them and those who have corn leel and know they will not long be better oil than those who have none. Starving men never have been controlled by reason or the ; law, and we have uo right to liope they ever ( will be." , : ": " ! ' We are accustomed Jo read of instances of actual want in most of the countries on the tho other side of the water but that starvation actually stares any of our people in the face seems to us almost incredible.

A Change Indeed. There are those

living, saya the Cincinnati Gazette, "who re

member well the horror which the the discovery of Aaron Burr's movements occasioned in ourvalley and all over rhe country. "Doubtless much of this horror arose from the belief in the public mind that his aim was to sever the Union. Yet the better informed, particularly in this valley, knew, a they believed, that he sought simply V? conquer Mexico. And were they less active in denouncing him less decided in op posing all hTs schemes? Not at all. It was seen that they must end in grafting upon the public mind a war spirit, foreign alike to the interest of the people and the principles of the Government of the people. , v "That bold, b:sd tn:in sleeps. Not so the passions and lust which he sought to enkindle, and on which he sought to build up his power. In another form (whether under less injurious auspices time alone can determine,) and for similar if not identical suds, these pussion. and this lust have been again appealed to and successfully amused, and now the whole press of a strong party call it patriotism, a brave and noble love of country and of liberty, when battalions oiler their services to meet a weak foe in deadly strife.

Recall the day when Burr loomed up a migh

ty man in the nation. . Recall the hour when befell. It was, in the nation's history, but as yesterday, and yet this same people now are for conquest for war, having conquest ui view. . 5 "A wonderful change this! Yet it shows how. easily a whole people may be swayed how their purposes, principles and spirit may

be recast and how wilh the best intentions,

and under the best government in the world,

a downward path may be trod by them even amid hurras for liberty, and insolent boasts

of extending the area of human freedom.

severance and industry, says:

"A few years ago Luther Severance, Hor

' No- they struck to their tradeyear ; after year, till they became of age. And . where are they uow? Sever ance is in Congress; Greeley is Editor of the New York Tribune, one of the leading political papers of the dayj. and. Harper is at the head of the largest publishing establishment in America, and was elected Mayor of the City of New York by a large majority. So much for energy and industry. r

Mr, W. states that just before the close of the last Congress, it was believed by the members elect thai the Rev. Mr. Dailey, (at that time Chaplain to the House of Representatives,) would not object to a re election the conlTug session and that one evening, as he and several other members were seated at Coleman'!. in walked Mr. Daily, when the following dialogue occurred : - ' ' - Mr. . W.- 'Well Mr. Daily, I suppose you are electioneering for next winter heh ." . Mr. D 'Wo, Mr Wenworthr yet were I elected. I should not decline the honor.', . . Mr. W. 'Mr. Daily I like you, but find that we can tlo beoer. There is a gentleman over at Cincinnati that is spoken of, and who ''will go' for saving us all a Mr. Gry but from.theT way you have been preaching, it will be a hard matter for some of us to get through. ., To which the Rev'd . divine quietly replied, that Mr. G. could not know them, but if be would come on and get acquainted with, them as well as be was, and then did not think his proposition to save one fourth of them a liberal one he would withdraw. Upon this Mr. Wentwor:h Unkinked himself, and making a low bow, promised Mr. Daify his

A GIANT EXHUMED. We are informed on tho most reliable authority thatapeiaon in Franklin county, Tennessee, while - digging aj well a few weeks siaee , found a human skeleton at the depth of fifty feet, which nmeasures 18 feet in length. The immense frame was entire with an unimportant exception, in one of the extremities. It has been visited by several of the principle members ot the Medical Faculty in Nashville, aud pro nounced unequivocally by all, the skeleton of a huge man. The bono of the thigh measured 5 feet; and it was computed that the height of tha living man, making the proper allowance for muscles, must have been at least twenty feet. The finder bad been offered eight thousaud dollars for it. bet determined not to sell it at any price until first exhibiting it for twelve months. He is now having the different parts wired together for this purpose. : ' j . These unwritten records of men and animals of other ages, that are from time to lime dug out of the bowels ot the eattb, put conjecture to confusion, and almorst surpass imagination itself.
