FROM TEXAS.

By the arrival of the steam ship Savanna,
from Galveston, we have received our files of
Texas paper to the 9th ult. The papers are
busily employed in discussing the subject of the
disposition of the prize schooner Ann Maria and
cargo, captured by Lieut. Moore. With regard
to this matter it appears that the captain of the
schooner obtained an injunction and had the
sale stopped, after positive order from the
Court of Admiralty that it should be made.
The prize agent repaired to Houston, and re-
quested the Judge to set aside the injunction
which was done, and the sale commanded in ten
days. The Mexican captain again obtained an
injunction and arrested the sale, by which pro-
cedure the whole subject becomes involved in
litigation. The conduct ofthe authorities who
have four times issued and reversed their ordeb
Is commented upon with merited severity sr
the press.
President LAMAR was expected at Calves

DIR. Lott an estimable citizen of Galveston
was found dead in the swamps some weeks ago.
He was laboring under mental alienation and
in that condition wandered from the house at

tween the Lepans and Commanches in Milan

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE PILOT.
WASHINGTON, Saturday, Jan. 10.


Yesterday we had quite spirited little "spat'
in the Senate in relation to the Boundary Ques-
tion-while more than one Sempronilts spoke,
there was only one LuciuS. The truth is, we
have had in both Houses war speeches enough to
have reused the spirit of the whole nation, and
still the question remains unsettled, and is likely
to do SO until one or the other of the contending
parties become tired Of negotiation and takes pos
session by force of arms.
The unanimity with which the matter was met
at prior session, seemed to give token of
speedy settlement. My undisguised opinion is,
however, that with all the talk about speedy
and amicable adjustment, it is further OFF than
ever, and that the longer it remains open, the
more tenacious will Great Britain become.
The debates in the British Parliament of more
than 20 years ago, will show how himsy the
claim was then considered by the leading men of
that time; but now what do we see? a claim ad-
vanced, and preparations made to spend it per
taS ant s1efaS.
do not conceive her conduct with regard to
Maine as much more reprehensible than her Off
cious and unwarrantable interference with our
domestic relations. Who that has heard of the
cases of the briggs Comet and Enterprise, where
the property of our citizens was literally plum
dered by the authorities of Bermuda, whose
blood does not boil with indignation After
restitution was made in one instance, yet has it
been withheld in the other, on the insolent plea
that they, forsooth, do not recognize our right
of property in human beings, since the emanci-
patton of her slaves in the West Indies ! Not
satisfied with that, she begins to exercise the
der the charge of her prize masters, from the
coast of Africa. Now if this is not met at the
very Threshold, we shall soon have our trade in
that quarter broken up, and our vessels sent to
London for adjudication, with O'Connell to pre-
side as an er offciO Lord of the Admiralty.
had gone thus far with my letter, when
the case of the .4Iniistad popped into my head,
and the proverb with it, "T'dke the mote out of
yo,e o1cn eye" SC. And l thought to myself,
sewith what face can this Government demand
from England, when, in matter
more fragrant, she withheld it from friendly
Power in violation of treaty stipulations" The
duty of the President was plain; he had but one
course to take, and 1t is to be regretted that he
did not boldly pursue it. Had this unfortunate
vessel found the shore of Georgia, or either of
the Carolinas, the Government would have been
saved the rzproach that has net unjustly been
cast upon it.

ARREST OF MAIL ROBBERS.


The existence Of a series of extensive rob-
known for some weeks, and active efforts have
been making during that time by the agents OF
the Post office Department to discover the de-
Predators. The robbers have at last been taken
They all residents of Union Town, Mary
land. A driver, named German, was first ar
rested; and he Immediately confessed his par
ticipation in the crime, and implicated person
named Doct Braddee, his clerk, named Prunell
and an assistant accomplice, named TRACER
The mails stolen embrace packages of Letters
from Wheeling, Columbus, Cincinnati, Louis
vile, Nashville, and St. Louis-about six pack
ages from each. Large amounts of money

have been discovered, and part of the money
has been identified as having been taken from
the mail. This system of depreciation has beer
carried on from the 18th November until the 18Th
December, at different periods, and the robbere:
are the most extensive ever committed in the
United States.
We copy from the Washington (Pa.) Repor-
ter, the particulars OF the arrest
"Suspicions having been excited against Sc
veral persons in Uniontown, warrant was
procured by DR.. Kennedy, from Judge Ewing,
on the night OF Wednesday with which he
proceeded to this place in the Mail stage, arri-
wing here on Thursday morning. The warrant
was here put into the hands Of Constable Hays,
who arrested William German, the driver OF
the mail between this and Uniontown. Cor
man was asleep on bench in the bar-room OF
MIS- SweitZer's hotel when arrested, and be-
trayed, great alarm. On being taken before
Justice Blaine, he voluntarily gave a statement
of facts, which go to implicate, with himself,
DR.. Braddee an arrant. scoundrel of long stand
ing, together with two men named William
StTayer and P,7Rel, Clerk in DIR. Braddee' S
office, all of Uniontown.
We learn the following facts, as to the man.
ner in which these repeated robberies have been
effected, from the confession of German. On
reaching the Post Office in Uniontown, where
the coaches are usually changed all the mails
were discharged except the Eastern Mail above
referred to; this was retained in the coach, per
arrangement, until driven into the yard, where
the accomplices of the driver, received it, and
conveyed it to the Office of DR.. Braddee, when,
on being rifled ofits contents, the bags were
thrown into privy appurtenant to the premises.
This was done on the nights of the 18th, 18th,
23d, and 29th of November, and on the 5th, 18th,
and 18th of December. German voluntarily
divulged the foregoing facts, and alleged that
he had been the victim of Braddee and his con-
federates; that he had resisted their importuni-
ties to embark in the robbery for period of IS
months, during which time he had been, alter
nately, plyed with promises and threats, until
his better genius yielded, and he fell victim to
the tempters.
Dr. Kennedy left on Thursday afternoon, with
the prisoner in charge, for Uniontown, where he
will undergo more thorough examination pre-
vlous to his commitment"

RESUMPTION.

Upon the question of resumption the Rich
mond Wing copies the statement of the U. S.
Bank, and says:
eECan this institution, under these circumstances
maintain specie payments? If it make the at
tempt and fail, what must be the consequences
to the other banking institutions of the coun-
try? These are questions for our fnanciers and
| Legislators to consider.
We know that resumption must be attended
| with curtailment and pressure. The banks will
be unable to extend much accommodation to
trade, they must call in their issues and contract
their discounts. What good will result from
resumption to counterbalance this evil? A bet
ter currency-that is supposing the resumption
to be permanent. But, If our apprehension be
well feunded-if the resumption cannot endure
twelve month, we shall be subjected to the
evil without any compensating good. We shall
experience pressure and paralysis in all depart
ments of business, and in the end find ourselves
worse off than in the beginning. We shall
have suffered severely from the ending process
of contracting currency, and at last, have a
worse currency than we started with-one ire
deemable in specic-without any prospect of its
ever being redeemable.
After all that the country has suffered by tam
pering with the currency, crude legislation, and
temperising expedIents-it is to be hoped, that
now reason will govern, and that no hasty and
mischievous step, which cannst be retraced,
will be taken. Had the u. S. Bank been per-
mitted TO go to the dogs alone with Vans adj
ministi alton, and the other Banks had underta-
resumption, the thing might have bsen practi-
cable and judicious. But, in attempting to boil
ster up that great borrower, it may prove mill
stone around their necks, and sink the whole OF
them.
The same paper says
ssThere is another consideration, which ought
not to be overlooked by the Southern Banks.
New York is the chief advocate of resumption.
She, by her past course. like the fox in the
fable, has deprived herself of her chief ornament
and nearly destroyed her trade; and she is So
licitous to reduce her neighbors 10 the same
predicament. If she continues to maintain
specie payments, her commerce will continue
to decline; whilst that of the South, if she oc-
cupies her present position, will continue to
advance. So, at least, it seems to us-but ii
is matter of grave consideration to those who
have to act upon the subject.

they be entitled to influence in Baltimore, they

All hands are looking out for occurrences at
B. Ayres. Admiral N. Cackan having gone up
the river with the Cuirassier, the day before
yesterday. 1t is the general impression that
he has gone to settle matters with Rosas, by ne
gotiation, as some communications have alrea-
dy passed. But he is very reserved, and have
my own opinion--it is that the affair will come
TO blows. We have no direct news from La.
valle's army, but understand that he has re.
turned to the Province of B. Ayres, and that
he Is strong. The scenes now witnessed in
Buenos Ayres are enough to make humanity
shndder, and to damn forever the Governments

18th. We have accounts from Layalle. IA.
vorable to his cause. He has gained the OBJ.
Ject of his movement North, by the defeat of
Lopez and Oribe at the Paso de las Piedras on
the River Salada, province of Santa Fe, ON the
10th ult., In consequence of which Gen Yriarte
was detached against the City of Santa Fe,
which was taken on the 29th. The garrison
surrendered at discretion, and Gen. Garzon
Colonel Acuna and Gomez, with several other
officers became prisoners of war. All the
arms and pieces of artillery were also taken;
Lavalle had intercepted a communication from
the Governor of Cordova to the Governor of
Santa Fe, stating that he was in trouble, as La
Madrid had defeated Colonel Gutierrez in the
province of Santiago, and Aldas had been also
defeated by Brizuela in the Province of La Ri
ola, and that symptoms of instruction were
evident in the Province of Cordova. Layalle
was in pursuit of Lopez, who had fled towards
the Chaco. He had formed two Squadrons of
Santa Fecianos, and D. Pedro Rodriguez was
TO be named Governor, and Orono Comman-
dante General de Campana. The Stag and
Grecian arrived yesterday, and proceeded at
once, with the Curagoa to B. Ayres. Commo.
dore Ridgely had proceeded there in the Deca-
tur.
Oct. 23d.-I have dates from Buenos Ayres
to the 2lst. Some conferences had taken place
with Admiral Mackau, on board of the Boulon-
naise, but nothing had been decided. Another
conference was to take place yesterday. The
Steamer that arrived to-day has 100 French
passengers, and all are leaving That can. In
IL days have counted passports asked for $40
persons. Opinions vary much, but it is sup
posed more generally that the affair will come
to blows, than that peace will be made by ne
gotiation with Rosas. The accounts of mur-
ders, robberies plumber, insult, &C., are OF the
most horrid description. OF Lavalle's army
we learn nothing oficial-the last communica-
tons they say the Admiral had from him, were
of the 9th, from Santa Fe, but they report that
he is again advancing upon Buenos Ayres.
His movements will doubtless weigh in the
Admiral's decision.
No Flour from your place has arrived, and,
