To the Editor ofthe .4doocafe.


 In your last paper you cast severe cen- sure on me as jailer of this county, which do not think properly belongs to ne. It IS well known that for many months past, the jail has not been sufficient to retain it's inmates-no repairs having been done. since House and A oods cut out one of the logs. have made repeated application to different workmen Tn this place, to have the Jail repaired, but they have uniformly refused to do the work, unless upon my responsibility, and as I did not consider it my duty to assume the payment of the ne- cessary repairs, and be repaid in County scrip at It's present reduced value. no re. pairs have been made.
 tn the morningofthe day on which the pri- soners escaped, l carefully examined their irons and found them sound and secure. NIT. Cotter was at work on my house, which IS within fifty yards of the jail, all the day. and was only absent at dinner, and it must have been at this time the escape was ef- fected. That they had friends to assist them and who furnished them with the means of getting off their irons, is suscep- tible of proof.
 The insecurity of the jail. induced me abent two months age, to resign the keys so Col. Rutherford, who urged me to con tinne until the superior Court. l agreed to do so. Under all the circumstances. l have only to reproach myself for having continued to act as. deputy iailer, so long after the jail became unfit to secure a cri- minal. $. D. ROBE.

 The National Gazette of Tuesday contains extracts from an official paper in relation to Texas, written by Don Lat- cas .4lamaa, the Mexican Secretary of State and submitted to the Mexican Congress in Secret Session. lis object appears to be to excite the appfehen- sloHs of that government in relation te the views of our government concerning that province. To that end tue most exaggerated misrepresentations Of facts and absolute inventions of falsities are boldly asserted, ,and plans recommended to counteract our intended movements of ambition and intrigue. Tie sab= stance of his accusation against the U. States, Is the same as that contained in the Mexican newspaper El Sol which we published few weeks ago. They are nearly as follows, so far as we. can gather them from the extracts published n the Philadelphia paper. He accuses Us of sending emissaries to that country who commence their schemes of revolu- ton, "bY introducing themselves into the territory, oa Pretepce of commercial negotiations, or of the establishment oi colonies, with or without the assent of the Government to which 1t belongs These colonies grow, multiply, become the predominantparty in Appropriation; and soon as a support is found in this manner, the intruders beein to set LID rights which it is impossible to sustain in serious discussion, and to bring for ward ridiculous pretensions, founded upon historical facts that are admitted by nobody, availing themselves general ", for the purpose of some critical cen- junction to which they suppose that the attention of the Mexican Government must be directed. They then excite. i by degrees, movements which disturb the political state of the country in dis plsstee; pste and and then follow disoofitents and dissatisfaction calculated to fatigue the patience of the ligitti eHse, and tto diminish the usefulness of the adminis- tration.''
 We are farther accused by D. Lucas of printing and circulating hand-biiIs in that territory to farther our nedltated project ofconquest. When things have come to this ti pass, says Don Lucas, di- plornatic management commences. The inquietude excited in the territory in dispute, the interests of the colonists therein established, the insurreetions oi adventurers and sayages instigated by the North American intruders, and the pertinacity with which the opinion is set
 up as to their right of possession, he. como the subjects ofnotes full of expres- sions of justice and moderation, until with the aid of other incidents which are never wanting in the course of di-
 plomatic relations, the desired end is attained of concluding an arrangement. as oncrous for one party as it is advaf,- tageous to the other. Sometimes more direct means are resorted to, and taking Iadvantage of the enfeebled state or do mestic difficulties ofthe possessor of the soil, they proceed upon the most extra ordinary preteYts to make themselves
 master of the country. as was the case in the Floridas, leaving the question to be l decided afterwards as to the legaiitvo oi ] the possession which force alone could

Eloqte1ace of Natare.-A widowed la- dy, attired in her weeds; was not long since introduced to the Secretary of the Navy, for the purpose of making appli- cation for the appointment of MidshipA man for her son, a very promising youth. Upon making known the object of her visit, under great depression oi feeling, Ne looked the Secretary in the face, and thought she saw a negative in his eye, which indicated refusal in his usually polite style-referred to the "number already in the servicc," &c. 1t that Propitious moment, nature made : her appeal and that appeal penetrated the heart of the Secretary. Ere the unwelcome words could break from his lips, he was interrupted by her exclaim- ing, "Oh Heavens! my dear sir, do not
 reject my application without hearing me farther" The Secretary paused,
 and she proceeded: @ He is my o,sly son my only hope on earth. His father,
 after serving his country faithfully for many years, died in her dcfepce--and we are now destitute" The Secretary hesitated again, exhibiting at the same
 time symptoms of, suppressed emotion, when with his characteristic decision he said, in substance: ssMadam, be pleased to keep your seat while the let
 ter of appointment, which will entit!e your son to trial, is preparing; and should your son prove worthy, as trust
 he may, he will be admitted into the service of his country.o The letter WAS
 fothwith executed. The heart of the widow, which so lately had sunk with sorrow, now suddenly overllowed with gratitude; and the tear ef pity which stoodin heeye of the compassionate Sec. retary, was frightened by the ray of be- nevolence. Stoics may, if they please, regard the effect produced by this nat ural eloquence asevidence of weakness; l but generous Americans wsll wsll ssllesy ias | sKch weakness: and may our leading 1 n0n be often subject flo ifs infnence.-
