day for the seat OF war, and company is
expected 10 leave to-day.
There is little variety in our paper Of
to-day, and little opportunity or necesitv
for it. Our printers, bows and all, are
infected with the prevailing fever, aud
we have had great difficulty 10 preventing
them from deserting US in a body 10 join

Captain L. Wheeler arrived here yes.
terday morning from Victoria, which
place he left on the Sth.
He gives the outlines of the events in
that vicinity as substantially these:
On the goth FEBRUARY an express reach
ed Victoria, stating that an attack was
expected on San Antonio by 500 men,
supposed to be marauders, and asking for
aid in defending the place. One hun
dred men Immediately lett Victoria in
compliance with the request.
On the 5rh of March news reached
Victoria of the taking of the hamlet OF
Goliad by Gorty.lwo MeXicans, wearing
the uniform of the regular army, who
took ten beoves, giving the owner certf-
Gates that they we're for the use 81 10 be
paid for by the Mexican Government, 4
bought some other articles for which they
paid.
On the 7lh one hundred men left Vic
toria, beyond GoIind, saw 10 Mexicans,
and returned in consequence Of receiving
an express giving Information that an at
tack on Victoria by 500 Mexlcans was
expected.
Capt. Ferguson reached Victoria the
same day, giving Information that he
had been captured by 300 Mexican cav.
airy on the 9Th, and made his escape
from them at the Mission Of Goliad.-
Capt. F. had left Aubrey g. Kinney
rancho on The 9Th, and when a short dis
tance out heard martial music and the
discharge Of arms, which he supposed tt
be from an attack on the rancho.
When Captain Wheeler left Vctorit
there were one hundred and fifty mer
under arms there under command of Col
Clark l.. Owen-lhe families were eav
ing town, and il was determined TO de-
fend the place as long as practicable.
Sixty men had left Malagorda ant
expected 10 reach Victoria on the 9th.
The news Of the abandonment of Sal
AntoGio by the whites and its occupation
by the Mexicans is confirmed. Six hun
dred Texans we're at Saguine at the las
accounts, reinlorcements were going II
and they expected 10 make a stand Iher
with one thousand men.
Austin is believed 10 have been abar
doned the families removing to Bastro.

Burleson was on his way from Bastrop tt

but glad ofun opportunity TO ovenge pas

THE CoNcERT.-The Concert of vocal and insru-
mental music, held at the Episcopal Church on the
evenings of Thursday and Friday of last week. con-
trlbuted very much we doubt not, to the gratifca-
ton of all who attended Much credit is due to
several individuals, especially to Mr.. Dye, for the
musical taste for which our is dstin guished'
The several pieces of music sung by the choir were
performed with jud gment and skill. The singing
of the Juvenile choir, excellent, and afforded a
most pleasing proof, that children may be early
taught the science of music, and thus contribute
much to their own pleasure, well the gratifi-
cation of their parents and guardians.
1t is hoped that every encoura gemant will be
held out, to induce all the young in this village, to
engage in the ehghtul exercise of cultivating their
musical talents. 1t will afford to the rising genera
ton pleasing and profitable pastime, which can
not fail of having happy influence upon their lives
and future department. Music softens the asperi-
ties of passion, and improves the finer feelings of
our natures.

Haverhill, Massachusetts, "praying that Congress
will Immediately adopt measures, peaceably to
dissolve the Union of these States' The petition
assigns several reasons, why the signers thereto
wish their prayer granted.
After some discussion as to the manner the petit
ton should be disposed of, Mr.. Gilmore of Virginia
moved the foowing:-
Resolved: That in presenting for the considera-
ton of this House, petition for the dissolution of
the Union, the gentleman from Massachusetts, has
justly incurred the censure of this House.
motion was made by J. G. Clark of N. York,
to lay this resolution on the table, but the House
refused so to do by a vote of "a to 112. A pro-
tracted and vehement discussion ensued, which
continued mostly throu ghout that and the follow
ing day. The final disposition of this affair." is not
learned up to the time of the latest dates from
Washington.

FOREIGN NEWS.

The Steam Ship Britannia arrived at Boston OF,
Saturday the 22d ult, having made the passage
from Liverpool in Is days. The important news
by this arrival is the appointment of special en-
bassy by Great Britain, to settle the existing diff
cutles between England and the United States
Lord Ashburton has been appointed by the British
Court for this object and will shortly come to this
country on his mission.
Among the distinguished passengers brought by
the Britannia, was Lord Mulgrave and several 9TH
er prominent British characters, Charles
Dickens, the celebrated author. Many other dis
tlngulshed Englishmen are preparing to visit this
country, and the emigration the ensuing spring
will be great, especially of Mormons bound to Nau
WOO.
RUSSIA AND Observation-Disclosures has been
received at Consantinople, by way of Trebizond,
OF a victory gained by the Circassians over the
Russians: the most signal and decisive, it is said,
that has occurred since the beginning of the war
a large expedition, consisting of thirty thousand
men had been dsembarked the coast with a
view OF destroying the grain, which had been COL
lected by the Clrcassans after the harvest, when a
storm having suddenly risen drove the ships from
anchorage. The Clrcasslans, availing themselves
OF the opportunity, assailed them fercely on every
side, and the Russians, separated from their stores
which had been carried out to sea- were compelled
to commence disastrous retreat through a country
consisting entirely of mountain, forest and defle
With the exception of two thousand who escaped to
Anapa, the whole of the thirty thousand were killed
or made prisoners; such are the accounts received
from Ireblzona. Further details of this tremen-
dous disaster OF the Russians eagerly expected
here.

New LEGISLATIVE APPORTIoNMENT.-We have
received copy of Bill presented In the Council
by Mr.. Bullen, providing for enumeration of
the inhabitants of this Territory. The object of the
enumeration is for the purpose of obtaining cor
rect basis for new apportlonment of the members
of the Legislature. The principal provisions ofthe
Bill are as follows The Sheriffs of the several
counties of the Territory, are authorized and re-
CURED to cause the number of inhabitants of their
respective counties and districts to be taken said
Sheriffs to have power to appoint many deputies
or assistants, to aid them in taking the as
they may deem necessary. The enumeration to be
commenced on the first day of June next, and COM
pleted within fifty days thereafter. The returns of
the officers taking the census, to be made to the
Secretary of the Territory. The Governor of the
Territory shall then proceed apportion thirteen
members of the Council, and twenty-six members
of the House, among the several counties cleo
ton districts organized by law, as near as may
be according to the census taken. The Governor
shall issue proclamation, thirty days previous the
annual election in September next, declaring the
apportionment under the act.
Such is brief outline of the bill; whether it will
receive the favorable action of the legislature re-
mains to be seen hereafter AS we remarked last
week, there can be apportionment of the
Legislature made, and at the same time render JUS
tlce to every portion of the Territory, without new
enumeration of the inhabitants. By basing the ap-
portlonment on the census of 1910, manifest inus-
tee would be done to Racine County, by depriving
of one representative in the House of Represen-
tatives. The only objection which we have seen
urged against the taking of another census, prepa-
ratve to a new legislative apportionment, is the
expense. The plea of extravaganza in this case,
talk and declalm against expenses and extrava-
gance? fe they themselves stand forth in bold re-
hef the patterns of extrava gance-the Capitol at
Madison is the theatre where is exhibited one con-
tnued scene of lavish expenditure of time and mo-
ney Yet in this same Capitol there are those, who
would deprive Racine County of representative,
under the silly pretence that census will cost
few dollars! There is not member in the legis-
lature but who knows full WE'LL that this County
according to It's present population is entitled to re-
tain its presenl number of representatives there
fore to base the new apportionment on the census
OF 1910, would virtually and understandingly de-
prlve this County of a representative for a small
pecuniary consideration. However small price
the people may be disposed to set upon some ofther
representatives elect, is the question:: it is the
right OF being represented, which they contend for,
and which right they estimate beyond all price,

AGRICULTURAL MEETING.-We would refer our
readers to the proceedings of meeting, held at
Burlington the 2Sh ult., which are found on the
first page of this paper 1t will be perceived that
an Agricultural meeting is appointed to be held at
Burlington on the 22d day of February inst, for
the purpose of forming an Agricultural Society,
composed of the counties of Racine and Walworth
We hope the friends of Agriculture in this County.
will generally attend the proposed meeting at Bur-
hngon-the expediency of uniting the two coun-
ties in the formation of Society, will at that time
be fully discussed and if the Agricultural interests
of Racine and Walworh, can be better promoted
by union Society, the organization of such So
ciety will be made. The advantages as well as the
disadvantages of united effort of the two counties
should be fully canvassed, and the proposed meet
ing at Burlington will afford an excellent opportu
nifty to arrive at conclusions in the matter

WISCONSIN AND NORTHERN ILL1No1s.-The sub
iect of the annexation of Northern Illinois to Wis
consn is exciting considerable attention in differ
ent portions of the Territory. The question is one
of vast Importance to the people, ard it is proper
that should be fairly discussed, and fully under
stood by all the parties concerned 1t is desirable
that there should be free interchange of opinion,
and it is hoped that the several presses in the Ter
ritory, will open their columns to expressions of
the people and the investigation of facts.
Considered question of interest, there is no
portion of the Territory more deeply interested in
the result than Southport. But we not disposed
to go upon the ground of local interest, in the con-
sideration of this questionable general utility and
expediency of the matter, the conclusions we
shall aim to arrive at. The reasons why the nor
thern portion of Illinois should be annexed to Wis
consin, are strong and many-the arguments on the
contrary, to our mind, are mostly of selfish and
illiberal cast, and are not based upon the broad
principles of right and justice. Nevertheless there
may be strong reasons in reserve, why the " dis
puted tract should not become part of Wiscon-
