We answer that had heard of no such suggestion; but the very same mail winch brought us his letter, placed in hands the Salem Gazette of the 2d instant, giving letter from Wash ington of Oct, 25, and furnishing the details of the scheme in question.

 Rare Fruits-A Model Kingdom ieithin the Model Republic.-A lady of our acquaintance from the east, has shown lemon, of large size, which she pluck ed from the at Zoar, Tuscarawas county, Ohio, while passing through by way of the Ohio canal She hundreds of the kInd of fruit in the various stages of growth besides oranges, figs and other pro- ductons of high southern latitdes. The trees on which they grow planted in large tubs like half hogsheads which being placed on wheels can be con- veyed into the air. when the temperature is sufficient. ly mild, and deposited in the hot houses during the cold weather.
 The village of Zoar lies the canal, and is own ed and inhabited exclusively by a singular community of Germans, who account of difficulties growing of their peculiarly religious faith, emgraed to America, cast their wealth into a common stock, appointed their leader king, who for number of years has goy- erned his little community with absolute authority (so far possible without interfering with the aws much after the manner of the ancient patriarchs He holds the title to the soil, assigns to all men, women and children, their appropriate labor, exercises an absolute control over all property, superntends all business transactions with the OtaOard world keeps the treasury, settles all difficulties without legal forms -admits or exPels members at his pleasure and ex- hibits, though humble scale, picture of abso- ute sovereignty. There, as in Russia, the Gone man power" has full sway, but there is no peto.
 To give grace to this picture and render such a state of things tolerabe m this republican country, this despo one he most wise, just and benevolent of men-perlaps the beau ideal of the whole race of ''tle Lords annointed." He is loved as indeed the father of his little flock, to tho promotion of whose happiness he deSotes himself with pious zeal. He is their priest well as their king, and conducts their religious ceremonies. Under his supervision, this singular community has become famous for it's industry-its well cultivated felds-its manufacto- ries-its dairies-ts gardens of rare and valuable roots, plants, fruits, and flowers of every variety, climate and species-for it's neatness, sobriety good morals and regard for the laws He is now very old, and has who is to succeed him; but his people becoming foo Democratic to like the idea of bay- ing all their property and the fruits of their tolls fall in to the hands of a wayward young fellow, who ac- cordng to thetitIe which will descend to him. can, under the laws of Ohio legally claim the whole con- cern. So when their present beloved ruler shall be ''gathered unto his faters,' A small rebellion may be looked for--or, suit in chancery.

TExAs.-From the New Orleans Bee have Texas news up 10 the 2Oth inst.
 Congress- wls in session at Austin; but little of importance las yet beea transacted. A resolution has been reported instructng the committee fi- to enquire into the expedency of recalling the loan commissioners. Another resolution instructs the same committee enquire into the expedency of suspending further of proInissory noes.- third resolution nstructs the naval committee to enquire into the expediency of recalling the Texian navy from the service of Yucatan. A modification of the tar1 so that the revenues arising from may be collected in par funds, win be among the eares, measures adopted by congress.
 A correspondent Of the Houston Star says
 " The Santa Fe expedition is exciting much inte- rest in congress- and the against the Pres dent for fitting it out without authority from congress are general and Some investigations are progressing that may elicit important facts in regard to tn" amount of expenditures incurred for this un- lawful measure. disposition has been generally manifested by the members to prohibit the payment of any bill or drafl that may be presented for payment, on account of the expedition"
 '' It is the oonion of some of our public men (says the Galveston Cvllian) who personally well ac- quainted with Santa Anna. that he will recommend tO Hiahe tcusicf tlc CeEaloH ot Texas to the United States, under the idea that the measure will be acceptable to all parties, while his government may thus spare itself the mortifca- tion of acknowledging her utter inability reconquer the territory lost at San Jacinto. That Santa Anna may favor such policy is probable, and such is the partiality of citizens for the splendid republic which gave them birth, that the measure might be carried out, were it for the difficulties that would result from the question of slavery. The Northern States of the Union jealous of admitting into the confederacy new States in which slavery tolera- ted; and our citizens would be 10th to placei,hem- selves under government in which such strong dis position manifests itself interfere with that nsti- tuition. It seems, however, probable, that such a proposition may come from Mexico. The more in telgent men of that country awake to the mpor- tance of establishing some boundary which may to check the encroachments which the Anglo-Saxon race making upon their territory"

The Knom.-An article in the last New Monthly Magazine, entitled Russia in lS4l, thus describes the knout
 "The Governor of Moscow kindly directed one of his aid-de-camps to conduct the prison. Ha- wing inspected the establishment in all its details
 about to depart. when my cicerone pointed to two men who had entered the yestibule of the pr- son. Do you those men z said he; sthey are our executioners. It is they who nfict the punishment of the knoa, which you have doubtless often heard of looked at the two men. Both were tall and robust, and altogether their appearance resembled the common class of the Russian peassntry; the one had black and tbe other red beard. They wore loose cloth panaoons, with their boots drawn over them. The other portions of their dress consisted of oolored striped blouse and sort of cloth cas- sock, open in front, and covering their backs and shoulders That winch displeased me most in them, certain air of gaety and self saction that could not reconcile with their barbarous vocation When they had advanced close to where we were standing, the aid-decanp directed my attention to packet which each carred under his left arm. ssThat is the knout," said he ''woud you like to examine it?'' l replied in the affirmative. The ad-de-camp having addressed to the executioners some words in Russian, they salued me with respect, and advance ing [" table in the vestbule unrolled their packets The knout consists of short, strong leather handle, terminated by buckle, in which are fixed a certain number of leather thongs, of which only used for every stroke the criminal receives. requested the executioners to apply upon the wall few strokes of the knout, with the same degree of force which was employed at an execution. They took off their caps and cassocks, and having carefully adjusted the leather thong in the buckle above mectioHed and ga- thering up all their strength, they struck the wall with such force that the hard plaster with which it was covered fell down in fragments. shuddered with horror at the reflection that such strokes inflicted on the living flesh of human being " Enough" exclaimed. |" It is indeed horrible punishment" observed my obliging Cicerone; |" but it is inflicted only for capital offence; and after all it is doubtful question, whether the punishment oi death is preferable" Twenty strokes of the knout are the maximum amount of punishment; and it is probably, nearly the utmost that the human frame IS capable of enduring"

 ''We have beaten the whigs for the last time, |" said a friend to us this morning When we asked explanation of 50 strange declaration, he replied "they will change their name" Our friend was probably right; there is class of people we'll known in police courts, who take names for convenience sake, and when they become too notorious under resort to an alias. We shall be surprised to the bank party throughout the United States drop the of whig which they have made odisus, and under which they have been thoroughly beaten,- drop it, and take another with li.tle ceremony did knight of industry.
 It but year since, that, speaking of the great defeat which the democratic party has suffered in the several states, put the frank disclosure of prnci- pies and intentions made by the democratic party in contrast with the ambushes and surprises used by them, and proceeded 10 say:
 'If party has fallen, ii has fallen with honor If adversities have trunphed, their triumph is their disgrace, inasmuch it is the fruit of fraud It will be short too, for the frasd is sure be de- tected, and all deusion is but for tme."
 In the sane article ventured to affirm that "ths moment that the wing party began to in those projects which their leaders had darkIy hinted at, but dared not distinctly proclaim, because they knew them to be unpopular" they would find themselves deserted at once by vast bodies of those who had supported them in their election.
 The fulfllment has trodden close upon the heel1 of eur prediction, fairly to gall its kibes. The strong man, thrown to the ground, has risen the instant, stronger than eyer his strength reinforced by indignation. The whig party has held session of congress, pulled of the mask under which they had conducted the election, made revelation of their DO Hey, proposed their measures and actually carried some of them into effect. The public indignation has followed as the thunderbo follows the fash The whigs abandoned by those whom they had betra, ed; beaten in election after election, in state after state; beaten, perhaps, our friend says, for the last time, never again to rally under a name which they will now be adnonished to lay up, along with the lumber of their old appellatons of Federalists and National Republicans. The great victory which has just been gained in this state giving us a large majority in the House of Assembly, and changing the political character of the Senate, comes upon them like a milstone, and grinds them to powder.

The Distribution Ac.-We are sorry to see the Clarksburg convention putting in its claim for DOT ton of the fund-though the committee in their elo- quent address, have wisely steered clear ofthat rock
 The Christanburg convention have also summed it-though the Lynchburg Virgnan lays great stress upon it for the accomplishment of the southwestern road, and says nothing but the madness of party can reject the appropriation"
 farty mad or not, we respecuuiy and frankly re- the coming session. The distribution measure is wrong in every point of view-and it will we'll be- come Virginia decline the douceur, and to exert her energies for the repeal of the law. We would advise the friends of education internal improve avoid assocIating the fortunes of their res- pective measures with the fate of the distribution scheme The distribution act is war with our po- litical institutions themselves. It takes the very money from the federal treasury, of which it stands in need, and throws a new burden upon the people, in the shape of new leans or new tariff duties.-- [ttich. E.q. ttIt -ftkaa
