Requiescat in pace.

An old Fable adapted to modern times.
-" Two men who had a deadly hostility
to each other, sailed in the same ship.
One sat at the PROV, the other guided the
helm. A furious storm arose, aud all on
board were in despair. He who sat at the
Prov, was requested to give his assistance
to prevent shipwreck. NO" said he,
let the ship go down, for my enemy will
perish with her."
II is recorded Of Daniel Webster, thai
when particular measure was under dis
cussion in the Senate Of the United States
that he remarked. II would not vote fol
this bill, though The enemy were thunder
ing at the walls Of the Capitol" i'erist
tho noble ship of State, since my enemy
the President is at the helm, and will e
down in her! What an awful commen
,ary upon the opposition Of portion o
the Wing leaders! Yet this man, DAME
Webster, is called by his satellites, Pa

Mr.. Editor,


I read in late No. Of your paper, an
article extracted from the Boston Mer-
cantile Journal. headed "the New Art or
the Pencil of Nature" The French it
seems, claim the glory of wonderful
discovery made by M. Daguerre; that Of
transferring the picture of any object to
paper BY the action of solar light. The
English too are laying claim TO similar
discovery made by H. Fox Talbot. Why
should America be backward in asserting
her claim? Itis fact that Professor Ell.
lett of the South Carolina College, has
been teaching the Art to his Glass. ever
since he has been in The State, and that
there is evidence incoutrovertible, that he
made the discovery four or Eve years ago.
His mode is doubtless, similar to that Of
Mr.-Talbot. lie reuerses the natural ef.

From Matumoras.-A traveller arrived
in Houston, brings late information from
MaIamoras As to the movements Of the
Fcderalis,s. Their forces before the city
were daily expecting the arrival Of Gen.
Dcmus from Monterey, with large body
of fresh troops. 1t was supposed that inn
mediately after their arrival an attack
would be made on the city. The Federal
soldiers were in excellent spirits, aud
highly elated with the prospects ofsuccess.
The news from the interior was Of the
most cheering kind. The cause of the
Federaists was gaining ground rapidly
