THE SURPLUS REVENUE

The Senate, with great unanimity, has
passed the Deposit and Distribution Bill,
40 to c. that is, passed it to third reading
How it will fare in the lower house, re-
mains to be seen. We think the oppos,
ton there, will be but feeble, and that this
important measure will be adopted. The
bill retains five millions of dollars, and
directs That all the surplus revenue, which
is now, or may hereafter be collected, shal
be distributed, by way Of loan, to the differ
ent states pro rata; and that one bank, only
shall be hereafter selected in every state,
as a deposit bank for this surplus.
Thus, will the peoples money be event,
ually restored to the people, for although
an immense sum has been loaned to active
politicians, TO speculate in land, and much
used for eleclioneering purposes, still the
Deposit Banks will be called upon by each
state TO refund in a manner so gradual and
accommodating, tina. full time will be afford.
ed to call in their loans. We have not
learnt when the bill is TO go into operation,
but it must tighten the pressure in the
money market, inasmuch as the projectors
Of internal improvements, in the several
States, will look TO this fund instead o.
crowding into the large cities in search Of
loans,
For the current year, we apprehend that
the Indian wars will sweep away a great
part Of this surplus; but hereafter. if al
goes well, the annual amount of the surpIu:
will be heavy. " Y Star.

TExAs.-Mr. w. H. Wharton one of the
Commissioners Of Texas writes a letter to
the Courier and Enquirer contradicting
explicitly the rumor of negotiations with OF
overtures to General Hamilton, of South
Carolina, to supersede Houston, and also in
full appreciation Of Gen. Houston's conduct
in command OF the army.
The New Orleans papers of 3lst ult.
contains an address from General Rusk, in
command at present of the Texan forces,
calling vigorously upon friends in the U. s.
for aid. "You may be told" it says,
GAS you have before been told, that the
war is ut an end, that there is no farther
need Of men. 1t is not so. The people Of
Texas, a small number Of men, strugg ling
for the sacred principles of human liberty,
need your assistance. We present to you
one Of the most delightful countries upon
the globe, we offer you the most liberal re-
Enumeration in land; we present you ield
where daring and enterprising bravery may
measure arms with a hireIing soldiery, who
are warning against the sacred rights Of
man, and have dyed their unhallowed hands
in the best blood of the United States.-
Come then to our assist ance, and let us
plant our standard, in defiance of the yoke
of Tyranny, upon the Rio Grande."
The force of the Mexicans still in Texat
is estimated in this address al 5000. The
Texan army, though little over one tentt
of the number" we're advancing upon
them.
The New Orleans Bee, of May Goth
says
"News arrived in town yesterday, from
Galveston, stating that the Texan govern.
ment had effected negotiation or treaty
with Santa Ana, as the President genera
of Mexico.
We have not ascertaincd the particulars
of this treaty; but suppose it is 10 recognize
Texas as an independent nation. Whether
this will be done by Mexico, or whether i,
should be tolerated by the United States
is doubtful. The Texan war is national ir
Mexico, and was more involuntary thar
voluntary with Ssn,a Ana. The latter wa,
obliged to concentrate the ardent wishe.
Of his countrymen, TO continue his owr
popularity and power ; SO that whether hi

Creek Chief Upo,hle- Yoholo, has taken Q

THE PUBLIC LANDS.

The following remarks were pointedly
addressed By Mr. Hiland Hall OF this State,
to Mr. Abjah Mann, of N. Y. in recent
speech on the fertilization bill. The im-
aeinary dialogue between the constituent
and representative-between the farmer
and the Congresslnan-conveys some
wholesome truths in plain language.
Mr. Chairman, said this measure of the
distribution of the proceeds of the public
lands was q measure of The People. 1t has
received the long recorded appreciation OF
the most eminent and valuable men of all
political parties it cannot be resisted by
any argument which address itself to the
good sense and sound reason of men and
the powerful evidences of it's healthful cha
racter are within the easy compre hension
of the most common understanding. Do
you suppose any great body of the People,
especially those in the interior ofthe coun-
try, will be satisfied TO have the surplus
money in the Treasury foollshly sauander
ed on the seaboard' or that they will be
conteat to have it remain in the custody of
some thirty or forty banking corporations
for the purpose of enabling their rich stock ,
holders to grow still richer, by Ioanng i.

Sir, they will be satisfied with no such
thing. warn you, Mr. Chairman, that il
this measure fails to pass--if we separate

public money, the first question that will be
