Sir: A few hours since arrived here
from Vera Cruz, via. New Orleans, aud
will leave Immediately for Washington. to
lay before his cxcellencv the President
''lhr basis" upon which the war between
Mex co and Texas may possibly be ter
minated, which basis or propositions
emar ale from and bear the signature
of General Santa Anna, President OF Mex
leo.
lst. 1t is proposed that Texas should
acknowledge the sovereignty Of Mexico.
2j A general act OF amnesty to be pass
et for past acts in Texas.
Sd. Texas TO form an independent de-
partment of Mexico
1lh. Texas to be represented in the
general Congress.
9Th, Texas to institute or originate all
local laws, rules, and regulations.
9Th. No Mexican troops under any
pretcXt whatever to be stationed in Tex
as.
These are the principal basis Of pro-
jected treaty and other important points
10 be submitted to the President and the
people; and if they should be adopted by
them, will give us, among other impor-
tant advantages, peace and release Of
our countrymen now in prison, and Il
market for our staple product, cotton, at
20 cents per pound at the Mexican potts
in specie, or 40 cents per pound at a dis
lance from 200 to 800 miles from the
coast.
In 1912 we exported $4,000 bales of
cotton eff 800 pour DIS each. and presume
tina, 1913 will produce 25,000, and allow
ing IS per bale for freight and charges,
you have three millions per annum to
form "hard money" currency for Texas;
and apprchend i;may be fairly estin,utod
that our product If that article will be
doubled annually for many years, grow
ing out Of the increased price, and rapidly
increasing emigration; and market would
al o be opened for our lce(. pork, lard,
butter, and other articles, both in Mexico
ard in Cuba. Time will not allow me
to lurlhar dlIate upon this important sub
jet. but | give you this hasly sketch, with
the assurance that the proper authority
will Jay the documents speedily before the
public.

The Galveston Civilian, which pub.
fishes The foregoing pro position, speaks
of them in a decidedly favorable manner
and demands for them scriuus and res
peciful consideration. The Times, Oh
the other hand, remarks that
"Nhalcver impressions superficial
consideration of those propositions may
excitc-however pleased we may be at
the moment with the hattering deductions
Of Judge Robinson founded upon them
We have 10 hesitation i'll expressing our
decided conviction that upon calm aud
mature reelection they will be, by every
rejecting TeXan, consigned TO the con-
tempt which alone they merit.'
The Houston Telegraph states that it
has cceivcd letter from Washington
announcing that GOV Pierce NJ. Butler, the
Commissioner on the part Of the United
States, had arrived with twenty men at the
Waco village f'r the purpose Of treating
with the various tribes Of Indians in con-
junction with the Commissioners of Tex
as.
A writer in the Galveston Times orlhe
23d urgeslrhe right of Louisiana to the
territory Of Texas, and invites her TO as.
sert her sovereignty over it.
Lieut.. Bunner, of the Texan navy, ac-
cording to the Times, is enlisting men to
join Commodore Moore at the S. w.
Pass.
Flacco, the noted Lipan Chief, to whom
Texas was chiefly indebted for the Grierd-
ship of his tribe has been murdered. There
are two conflicting statements relative TO
the perpetrators and the manner OF the
murder; one that Texan from the Brazos
committed the deed; the other that his
body was found in the vicinity Of six
others (Cherbkees) which he NEST pro-
baby killed in the combat which tcrmi
mated with his life.

rpE\DFUL ACCIDENT-EXPLOSION OFTHE
BOILER OF THE STEAMER HARRY oFTHE
WEST.
# letter from passenger board of the Harry
oft the West, dated
LoursvILLE, April 23d, Is4s
.'onthe 10 inst. the steamer Harry ofthe West,
m her way from New Orleans to st. Louis, having
boOed iorty cords Of wood at point forty miles be-
law Memphis, on the Mississippi River, was about
,oavnp the bank, when two 1ues of the second lar
hoard boiler collapsed.--One of the iremen. who
stood directly in front Of the boiler was thrown over
hoard and doubtless instantly killed. Another was
muud dead on the forecastle deck. Several Of the
hands, including TIE two cooks, are missing, besides
some of the deck passengers. Another had his jaw
boken in two places. Another was badly bruised
and injured internally by steam. A deck passenger
with twelve hundred dollars in gold, ir belt round
bs person. jumped overheard and was drowned a.
lOngside the boat, leaving his wife and children on
hoard. l saw other men floating down the stream,
holding on to drt wood. A sSff from fat boat
mt off after them; whether they were saved or not,
| cannot say. Nor was it known, do think it
ever will be known, how many, all told are lost.
The mate had his leg broken in two places. Anoth-
er man also had his leg broken Five or six of the
hands attached to the boat were badlyscalded-
Of them very severely.
81 was standing at the very extreme forward part
9th hurricane deck, when heard tn pilots bell
ring for the engineer to go ahead. started to go
aft and when abreast Of the wheel house heard the
explosion. The boiler deck was torn up, and the
stancheon, under which had been standing, was
knocked down. One Of the pilots told me that had
remained forward, should inevitably have been
thrown overheard. Thank God received no per
sona injury whatever.
"The steamer Gray Eagle woodng, at the
time of the accident about three and half miles a.
bove the Harry Of the West She Immediately came
down to our assistance, took the Harry of the West
in tow, and drew her to Memphis-an act Of great
lndnes and humanity to the wounded, the part of
Captain Shallcross.
''To crown our confusion and distress, very soon
after the explosion, Capt. Horden announced in the
cabin that the Harry Of the West was on FIRE. For
,unately it was soon ex,iugnishcd There were about
thirty cabin passengers, Of whom ten, perhaps, were
women Had the boat drifted into the middle Of the
river, where the current running at the rate Of
five miles an hour, the tragedy would have been still
more terrific. - Of Commerce.

Continuance of the Freshet.-Our readers at a dis
lance will hardly credit the fact that for nearly three
weeks, the water in the Connecticut river az this
place. and for many miles North and South of as has
ranged from Is to 20 feet above low water mark
We mentioned in last the continuance ofthe high
water in consequence of the rains of the DAY or
two previous Since that time the water has fallen
gradually until Sunday night, when the storm which
commenced in the afternoon of that day and contn-
ued with great severity during the night and until
Monday noon, caused sudden and rapid rise of
water up to yesterday mornings at which time it had
attained within 81 inches OF the high water OF Tues
day, April 49, and within inches fthe letters on
flood mark
This unprecedented continuance of high water, Is
attributable principally to the immense quantities oil
snow which have accumu ated on the mountains, and
have been alternately dissolved and conseaed by the
varying heat and cold.
The water is now falling rapidly, and as the snow
must have been pretty thoroughly swept OF, we an
ticipate no further rise, of any consequence, this
spring II is fortunate the whole mass did not come

A Painfully Interesting Case.-Copt Joseph
Owens is now under trial at Annapolis Md, for the
murder of his son. The first Witness says cores
pendent Of the Baltimore Clipper, "was son OF the
party arraigned, who was with his deceased brother
when the sad catastrophe happened; lad about sew
Nteen years Of age, intelligent, manly, and at once
commanded the respect, sympathy, and admiration
of ALL His first words were uttered audibly, but in
such manner as to force the unconscious tear from
many manly eye. And clear was his testimony
to the commal of the fatal act by his father, that
there could not have remained a doubt on the
mind Of any on that point; and his exit from the
stand seemed to give relief to the crowd who stood in
breathless silence catch every word that fell from
him.
The daughter (about fourteen years ofagc,) gave
similar testimony.
These were the only witnesses to testify as to the
killing Numerous other witnesses have since been
called in, with view to ascertain tho INTENT or
what led to it. From the course Of the testimony
today it is very evident that the point aimed at by
the prisoners attorneys is to prove that he was in
sane"
The writer adds-s'The prisoner manifests no fee
ling, but sits erect and firm. his eye full upon the
witnesses; and while the tear steals down the cheek,
and the bosoms of others heavc, he sits unmoved
He is rather good looking man; his hair is quite
grey.''
