The mail to-day failed beyond Columbus.

TgscALoosA-We have dates to-day from Tus- caoosa of the l4th inst. On the 18th preamble and joint resolutions were introduced into the Senate, by Mir. Baylor of Jefferson, rejecting the proceeds arising to this from the act of congress for the distribution of the public lands The preamble as- serts that that nvades the rights of the states and that, how much the views of other states may differ respecting tho bill, Alabama will ''remain uninAuenced by their action and never by our aceep- lance of the prOfered br'be sanction the dangerous and immoral maxim that the end justifes the means. We do this because we hold our honor and indepen- dsnce above all price, and because we entertain fixed and unaterable determination to maintain them irrespective of all future consequences"
 It also declares that the bill 's gross and papa- bls violation of the constitution of the United States --dstrbuting as it does under existing circumsan- tho revenue arising from customs and that it wi unless arrested pave the way assumption of the power on the part ofthe general government to seize upsn the nstona treasury for any and for all purpo- ses, without regard th- from whence its rev enuss may bs derived, and that it will ultimately make the several states the stpendiaries and pen soned yasses of great central power, thereby car ,yi"s effect principles of old-fashioned ultra federalism, as proclaimed by the most daring advo caes, in the goomiest period of political history"
 Be it, therefore, Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Alabama in Gene Ial Assembly convened, That authority shall be given to the Governor of this Sae an, other per- son, in its behalf to receive that portion of the pro- ceeds of the sales of the public lands which may be allotted this state by virtue of Act of the Con gress of the United States entitled "An Act to dis tribute the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, and grant pre-emption rights to settlers" and that the state of Alabama does hereby refuse receive the same or any part thereof.
 Be it further Resolved by the authority aforesaid, That our senators in congress b., and they hereby instructed, and representatives requested to their utmost endeayors, to procure speedy peal of the above reced act.
 And he it further Resolved by the authority afore- said, That the Governor of this be requested to forward A copy of the foregoing Preamble and Reso- utons to the Governors of the several states of this Union, and also to each of and represen iatives in congress.
 These resolutions were read once and ordered to d second reading; and the impression was, that they, or something similar to them, would pass the Senate. the General Ticket bill, and the proceedings ge- nerally were without interest.
 Senator Clay, it was thought, would resign and Gov. Bagby be elected to fill his place.
 Mr. Moore, the democratic candidate in Baldwin, who contested his right to seat in the house from that county, it thought, would be admitted the 18th

TExAs.-The Texan Congress met on the 2d instant, and K. L. Anderson was appointed Speaker of the House, aud H. c, McFarlane Secretary oflhe Senate, Lamar's message is said to be very long and very able. It congrarulates the nation on its prosperity; suggests no system of finance; recom- nends naval war against Mexico; gives no infor- nation respecting the loan now making by General Hamilton; states that in consequence of the govern ment's not making arrangement with England for the suppression of the slave trade, treaty yet concluded with that power, and also, that definite treaty of amity, commerce, Sc. has yet been signed with the United States.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE BRANCH BANK AT MOBILE


 To he Hon. Speater q the House o Representation of Alabama:
 SIR; Under prescribed duty, herewith proceed to communicate To you, and through you to the gene ral assembly, report touching the operations of the Branch of the Bank of the State of iabama at Mo bile, to which l beg leave to append condensed statement of it's debts due and running 10 maturity, made up to the 18th October, 1Sll.
 For more detailed statement 1 would refer to the report of the cashier, from which every particular connected with the operations of this branch be ascertained
 l am not aware of any items in the state of the Bank that require particular explanation, unless they be ihe two showing an inc. eased circulation, and considerable amount ol protested exchange. These can be accounted for and explained in the following manner:
 The present board of directors, when they entered upon the discharge of their duties, were desrous of pursuing of polio, which would, by easy de- gree, have reduced the circulation oi the Bank and with view to the resumption of specie payments at the earliest practicable period were disposed to cir cunlscrbe discounts upon accommodation paper, and to confine it's operations principally short business paper, and to purchasing domestic and foreign ex- change. But 1t soon discovered that this res trictye policy would work great distress to the peo- pie, and be the means of Subjectng large amount of property to breed sale, and consequent sacrfces.- The condition of the country prepared for sudden contraction. The directors therefore relax ed the policy first intended to be adopted, and modated 1t to the exigenees the times and in thIs way the present ability of the bank debtors to pay was duly consulted, and the acquisitions of the board shaped to meet it.
 It is possible much more of the suspen led debt could have been collected by suit and the sale of pro- perty under executions. While this course might have enabled me to make more favorable report of the condition of tine bank, yet the fact canno e dis gused, this policy would have produced great dis tress, and brought many to immediate hauiS uplcy, who, by longer indulgence could work out of ieit, and ultimately save their property; an those who have permitted themselves to be sue,; have no just ground for complaint.

Final Erhortation.

You can never be looked upon as an &C
complished glow-worm-you will never
enjoy cigar TO perfection, ifyou adul-
lernte its favor by uncongenial pota'
tions.
Strictly speaking, smoker should new
er taste any liquid while inhaling The
precious weed, but if you are such pro-
fcient as to consume a dozen cigars at
one sitting, some refreshment becomes
necessary.
In this case, allow tolerabe interval
to eIapse between your third and fourth,
or between your sixth and seventh,
when a cup OF Mocha coffee is pleas
ant
Should you be unable to smoke without
drinking, take claret. Brandy, gin, rum,
and such like potations are fit only for
those who nocturnally edo themselves up
with vile shag in yard of mother
clay.
And now, my smoky, puffy, friends,
wishing you a good cigar and a jovial
companion to enjoy it with, leave these
rules for your own benefit, hoping you will
follow them.
