AMERICA VEsPUCCI.-The Globe states
that immediately after the reading the
Report, from the Committee on Public
Lands, which was adverse, for conslitu.
tiona reasons, TO the prayer Of America
Vespucci for " corner Of Land" ma.
tional subscription was commenced for
her benefit, to be applied towards procu.
ring her home and support in the United
States. Senators from every quarter Of
the Union subscribed. The amount was
received by Mr.. HAIeHT, the Sergeant
alarms of the Senate, and presented TO
her. Many others placed in the hands Of
Mr.. HAIGHT other sums to be presented
to her; among whom we have heard the
names of the Judges of the Supreme Cour,
several members Of the House of Repre-
sentatlves, and some citizens. This is the
commencement of the national subscrip.
ton recommended by the report OF the
Committee on Public Lands, and which,
we presume, is now open to all citizens,
who IN the language of the report, may
wish to aid in procuring that home which
Madame Vespucci desires among US, and
which Congress could not grant.-Bah.

RoBhERY.--A daring robbery was at.
tempted on Thursday night IN the tavern
OF Col. 5. WIN. Kemper. The trunks of
the stage passengers, were taken out of
the bar, and carried some distance TO an
ally near the stable. There the hasps
were broken off and the contents exami-
ned. 1t seems the object of the rogues
was money, not clothes; as the clothes
were carefully opened. The trunks were
all recovered and we believe no serious
inconvenience sustained, as most of the
clothes were picked up. This is the first
scene OF the kind which has disturbed our
peaceful village for years. We hope that

From the Loui.ianian. March Z.

We understand, from authority which
we deem entirely worthy ofcred,, tina,
the Government OF Texas has made
propositions to join the forces Of Urea
and Mexia in their efforts to overthrow
the consolidated system which now pre-.
walls. Ii is added that letters have been
addressed to those generals, AID that
should satisfactory answers be received
Texas will march 1000 men to join the
liberatlng army.
The source from which we derive this
report is highly respectable /; but, from
the nature Of things, we are unable to
guaranty its authenticity. 1t might be
good policy in Texas to combine against
the feeble powers that govern the Repub.
lie, on condition of enjoying certain ad-
vantages and privileges in case of sue.

secure treaty Of peace with Mexico.

But the Texans should first seriously re.
fleet before they trusted the flower of
their youth in the heart of Mexico, in the
midst of enemies who regard them with
such savage and unrelenting hatred tina,
these new allies might become their butch
ers.

The noble and chiyarous bearing of the mem
bers OF Congress from the Southern States, towards
the State of Maine, when her troubles were in dis.
cussion by both branches Of that body is elic,ina
praise and admiration ineyeiy section Of the coun.
try. Those who mi llt have been suspected of en-
ter,aining some degree of sectional feeling, when
questions like that of the Maine controversy came
up for their action, were found foremos, among
those who stepped forward in the defence ofthe
rights vi their sister in the confedcracy Sectional
feelings were thrown to the winds, and unity Cor
once seemed to hold her reign, beneath the dome
of Our national capitol. We are glad it was thus.
for the South, by this act has shown, that, though
wronged, and injured by her Northern partners in
the conederacy, she views her own wrongs. ms
nothing, whenever there il danger threatening any
portion Of the Union, even though that portion be
the one which has most deeply injured her. WIN
not the North in its zeal for the overthrow Of lie
most vital and important OF Southern institutions
bear in mind tue honorable and patriotic bearing OF
the South toward her. 10 this instance, and lie, the
recollection temper its furious attacks upon insti.

Such, however, is not the fact 1t il mora safe

1t will appear TO the satisfaction of any one who

ments' Weare led to this remark by returns made
by ten Rail Road Companies in England. Of all mas

and 1888, and all deaths aud accidents that have
happened upon them during that time. The mum.
Der OF passengers was forty millions and the mum.

but Jour OF these were passengers. We question
II any mode oftravelhng known, can be more safe
or secure from accident. The United States Rail
hoads may not be maHaged with the same care as
the Englsh and the number of accidents is much
greater but they are without doubt much more safe
than Stage coach, Steamboat, or horses back.

THE MISSION TO ENGLAND. We have
at length something authentic as to the
designs Of the President in reference to
the special Mission 10 England. The
Hon. Reuel Williams, one Of the Maine
Senators, attended meeting Of the citi.
zens ofPortland, on the 7lh instant, when,
in reply to a question whether the Special
Minister would be appointed Immediately,
and what section the country he would
probably be taken from, he observed,
that no appointment would be made un-
til time was allowed for our present doings
to reach England, and intelligence to be
received from our Minister already there (:
and that whentne appointment was made,
some one out Of New England would
probably be selected as the Minister.
So that Mr.. Webster, at least, if this
is to be credited, will not be appointed.
A letter is quoted by the Baltimore Sun,
in which it is said that Mr.. Woodbury. is
to be appointed, and that Mr.. Cambrel.
eng will be made Secretary of the Treas

The practice oil appointing members Of Congress
to Offices was once repudated by General jackson,
as Of evil tendency, and calculated to make "cor.
ruption the order Of the day." The lime when the
General held and proclaimed such sentiments, has
long passed, and his subsequent practice was such
a. to shake the confidence which some OF his firm
friends entertained in his integrity aud po-
litical honesty, and verify his predictions respecting
corruptionbeng abroad in the country, whenevertts
Executive should bestow gifts Of Office upon those
whom the people had selected to make their laws.
The wise, and the good, have looked with pain and
regret at the numerous instances in which the late
Chief Magistrate of this nation. rewarded members
OF Congress, for partizan services, by bestowing
upon them some Of the best appointments In the
Government. The effects of this course of pro-
oeedng have become alarming, that the feeble
successor" finds himself unable to check the cur.
rent Of corruption which flows copiously from
the fountains opened by his predecessof--corru
