ahip answers as frankly, that the military preparations of England, while they do not look directly to a probable rupture with the United States upon the Oregon question, are regarded as being useful in the event of such a contingency," In the mean time, on the other side of the water, Mr. Pakenham proposes that the resnective shares of the two nations in Oregon territory be determined by reference to some Sovereign or State agreed upon by both parties. His proposal, however, is rejected, and that in language which the New York Courier Enquirer justly stigmatises as offensive. Mr. Buchanan The President declines the offer of arbitration.

Mr. Pakenharn had assumed that the title of England was valid to at least a portion of the disputed territory, whereas the President had assumed the the title of the United States to be clear and unquestionable to the whole of Oregon. This was a sufficient VAOonM 4n --4? 11 icawii iu ucwujc hid uveiiure. In a second letter, Mr. Pakenham proposes, to submit the title itself to arbitration, and if a friendly sovereign or State is objectionable to the United States, then to a mixed commission of eminent jurists, civilians, If the title of neither party should prove clear and satisfactory, then the arbitration may divide the territory." To this Mr.

Buchanan answers, that he has no faith in arbitration. His answer is dated February the 4th. On the 7th the correspondence was laid before Congress. This, with the comments of the press up to the 9th gives us the present data for the formation of opinion to the upshot. From Ike New Orleans Picayune, 3 insl.

LATER FROM TEXAS. By the arrival late last evening of the steamship Galveston, Capt. Wright, from Galveston, we have received files to the 1st inst. from that city. The Galveston made the trip in 36 hours.

The election for Representative, which took place on Monday last, resulted in Galveston as Col. S. M. Williams, 449 Judge Pilsbury, 69; Col. Cook, Gen.

Megginson, 7 Lewis, 7 Gen Green, 1. The Galveston Civilian makes the following extract from a letter to the editor of the Corpus Christi Gazette, dated Matamoros, March 13th. The viiiu.ii mums me uiusi la niuuc ui iuc IVloxiCuii forces upon ilie Rio Grande: Gen. Mejia is now at Matamoros. As soon as he was informed of the arrival of the detachment from your army, under Capt.

Hardee and Lieut. Hamilton opposite Brazos Santiago, via the other by the old Matamoros road, near San mustered every soldier here, and crossed the Rio Grande in person, under the impression that he should meet the advance of your army. He marched as far- as the Colorado Creek, with the utmost nossible desnatr.h. nnd that both these detachments had returned to the camp of Corpus Christi. His anger at this unexpected no find you there" knew no he had boasted upon his departure from Matamoros, of the laurels he and his troops would win before their return to their old quarters.

His excellency was, however, compelled to put back without a single trophy to grace his unwelcome return. AIL the forces, late under the command of Gen. Arista, at Montery, and now under the orders of Gen. La Vega, about 1800 strong, have arrived at Matamoros, and it is said will march forthwith for the Salt Lakes and the Sal Colorado, to arrest the March of Gen. Taylor upon the Rio Grande.

Gen. Canales, of Comargo, with his regiment, nearly 1000 strong, has received orders to the advance of our forces, to watch the movements of your army, and is now occupying a position in a direct line between Comargo and Corpus Christi, about 22 leagues from the former place, at the northwestern extremity of the great salt lake. Gen. gentleman who boiled Sentmaaat's head within two days march of bs, with 3500 men, mostly cavalry. We know very little of what is goiqg on in the interior as General Paredes has stopped the transmission of all newspapers as dangerous.

II -11 tvu nuu auuw pi city wen an me movements upon the political draft board, will be able to judge of the times by the signs. What is here stated is true, ana you may assure your friends of that fact. I might state many other I' matters, but they are too delicate for disV cussion at this moment. In my next you will have further particulars, and before vou get this, the question of fight or no fightbetween us and Gen, Taylor win nave been decided- upon, and the independence of the northern province declared, or their future connection with tht parent State, quietly, tamely, basely acquiesced in. Our present armed force and stations are as follows Gen.

Canales, with 900 or 1000 troops, at the head of the Salt Lakes, 69 miles from Comargo. Gen. Mejia, on Sal Colorado, where the old Matamoros road crosses that river, about 60 or 70 miles from Mata 750 men. Gen. Garcia, at Point Isabel, with 280 men, mostly infantry and artillery.

Gen. Savereigo, vvilh some two hundred men, is upon Colorado, between Gen. Mejia and the lower ford, which is from 10 to 15 miles from the Gulf. Gen. La Vega, at Matamoros, with 1800 troops, late commanded by Gen.

detained to remlorce Mejia. Total force, say 4000 half of whom are on the east side of the Rio Grande. My next letter will be of more impor- tance, or I am mistaken. Arista is still keeping himself in reserve at his hacien- da. Don La Gazar Flores, Governor of the Tamaulipas, arrived here last night, with an intention, as it is said, of organizing the rancheros, veterans, for defensive operations, should they unfortunately be required.

Morality in is said that there are three Theatres in Boston, two hundred gambling establishments I 1 1 -r -II iivi icss Liiaii six uunureu xiouscs 01 111- fame, and two thousand places where in- i toxicating drinks are sold. Mr. N. Orleans Tropic in alluding to Mr. Calhouns last great speech Cal- houn's speech on the Oregon Question, the great one of the pre- i sent session of Congress, and une- quailed by any from the Senate for many years, commands a rapid circulation, and is producing a most happy effect upon the public mind.

We shall issue a cheap edition of the speech, for general i circulation throughout the State." L.at. 49 is nearly two degrees. higher than the Northern-most angle of the State of Maine, more 1 than two degrees higher than Quebec, higher than the North- ern-most angle of Lake Superior, higher than the centre of New- i foundland, and very nearly as i high as the Southern part of La- brador. And yet the ultra war faction pretend that West of the Rocky Mountains we should insist i on a boundary 5 deg. and 40 min.

Vance, was removed from Spartanburg jail to Laurens, to await his trial, which will take place in a short time. We understand he has confessed i to the effect, that he was in com- i pany with two white men, one of i whom perpetrated the act of kill- ing with a shot gun, which they had stolen. The statement made by the negro has been corrobora- ted throughout, with a slight exception, by one of the whitemen. We omit names until we feel better authorized to give them, though we have no doubt our information is correct coming as it does from two gentlemen of veracity, who interrogated the persons. Spartan, 8th inst.

jf Gbaniteville perceive from an article in the 1 Hamburg Republican, that the Graniteville Manufacturing Com- pany are "going ahead." They intend to have a factory established in about 12 months, They in- tend to manufacture prints, osnaburgs and every variety of cotton yarns, also paper. The ber of operatives will be nearly 1,000. Mr. Thomas Ritchie, tried for causing the death of Mr. H.

Pleasants, has been honorably acquitted." This verdict is regarded as tantamount to the acquittal of the seconds and all the parties concerned in tne duel. Working op the new Postage Washington union gives returns from fifty of the largest Post Offices in tne U.

MorE of the late number of the Richmond Enquirer, a paper of much discrimination as to what it admits into its columns, and having excellent sources of information, inserts the following rumor. 1 "It is now said that the last steamer took out directions to our Minister in London to inquire, through Lord Aberdeen, the pre- cise views of the British Govern- 1 ment, and whether Sir Robert 1 Peel's allusion to the offer of the MM PQ llol mac UkJ bV 1111" ply an approval of that line as a I compromise: Mr. Mclane being 1 authorized to say that this Govern- ment would receive that proposi- tion favorably." i Paris is inhabited by 912.035 individuals, who occupy 34,390,800 square yards of surface, or nearly 9600 acrcs.

While a Mr. Estes was giving his testimony iri: a case trying at the Justice's Court in Van Burcn County, in a trifling suit, Mr.

Anderson called him a liar. The Insult was resented. Anderson being the stronger man, got Estes down, and was dealing heavy blows, when at once he became motionless, or rather fell from him corpso, On examination in was found He had been stabbed in some five or six places with a small pen knife. Estes -was committed, but held to bail. Since then he has disappeared; some think, says the Expositor, to escape punishment: 1 others that Anderson's friends have made way with him.

i Alexajtdria Gazette. i A most touching incident occurred a few days since on board the of AO VM wxiiUJI IUJIS Oil the Potomac River. It is the custorn of the Captain to ring the bell 1 as the boat passes Mount Vernon, in honor of the illustrious dead whose mortal remains are entombed there," On the occasion referred to ihe Harmonean Singers were on and as the boat i slowly passed the great man's tomb they sang in a most pathetic style the melody of Washington's Grave."

German appears that in the year 1844 the number of German emigrants who arrived in New York, was 17,799 persons. In the next year, 1845 the number was 30,312 showing astonishing increase.

Mastodon Cotton. I sample of this Cotton can be seen ot he store of the Messrs Wardlaw's. It vas received in a letter from a iriend, ac-; with some of the seed. This rind of Cotton sold for sixteen cents in New Orleans market last fall, when sther Cottons of superior quality sold for sight cents. Competent judges have pronounced the Mastodon to be equal to the Sea Island Cotton, both in beauty of texture and length of fibre, and with this greater advantage, that it will mature well on the Uplands of the Cotton growing States.
