The N. @. Bee urges an immediate de-
tention by our Government of all Mexican
citizens in the Unitec Stated in pledge for
the safety of the Americans taken prison
ers in the Santa Fe Expedition. Ii bases
this recommendation on the belief that
Santa Ana is holding Kendall and his com
panions responsible for the failure of the
Texan invasion, and that if the Mexicans
meet with discontinue he will reek upon
the hapless captives the ire with which
baffled ambition will initiate his perfdous
heart The Bee reproaches our Govern
ment and says it has letters from Kendall
stating that "the American prisoners are
tainted with the grannysm Of their 60
vernment: Don't you wish you were an
Englishman!' Don't you wish you were
Frenchman' or any other than citizen
of the United States, are questions daily
propounded to KENDALL and his compan-
ions by the foreigners in Mexico"
A great meeting was to be held at New
Orleans with regard to Texan affairs.

ordinary death-bed confession has been
made concerning the fate Of Mrs. Aston,
Col. Burr's daughter. She left Charleston
for New York some 80 years ago in brig,
which was never heard from. A dying

he was one Of the crew, who murdered the
passengers for their money. Another sa l.

a similar confession. The New Orleans
papers of the ID now report third con-

of mind. He said Mrs. Aston, was the
last one put overheard. Her image, he said

CLAY AND CALHoUN.---The retirement
of Mr.. Clay from public life has touched a
sympathetic cord in the public breast. The
scene in the Senate is represented as one
Of exquisite feeling and deep grief. The
Washington correspondent of the United
States Gazette relates the following gener-
Gus and gratifying incident:
An anecdote is told Of the meeting Of
Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Calhoun after the for
mer retired from the Senate, which shows
that political strife, though it may for a
while deaden the finer feelings ofthe heart,
cannot destroy Them especially in those
hearts that beat with generous and manly
sensiblities. AS Mr. Clay was passing
toward the door to leave the Senate Cham
Der. Mr. Calhoun met bim-thcy had not
spoken TO each other for five years; but
they now simultaneously extended their
hands, and rushed to each others arms.
neither spoke, but both wept. AT length
MIR. Clay said, on parting, "Give my best
regards to Mrs. Calhoun" How much
more noble was this reconciliation and part
ing, than if they had separated looking de-
farce a, each other! They had almost
spent their lives together in Congress and
at various times stood shoulder to shoulder,
animated by patriotism and emotions only
of serving their country. Time had passed
over both, and the young had bee me old.
One was about to retire, and both must ere
long "sleep the sleep that ath no waking"
The retirement Of the one would leave the
other with no company or rival of his
younger days, and it told him empha,cal-
ly that he must too soon follow. Thoughts
like these soften the hear, not wholly in
durated, and cause the fountain Of gener-
Gus feeling TO gush iorth--it came, and the
two distinguished rivals and antag onsts un-
der the influence of these sympathies were
drawn together. Would they had never
been separated
