REMARKABLE CURE OF HIP DISEASE.

New York, July Goth, lS43.
Messrs. SANps-Gtnt My daughter. aged
six years, was attacked with the hip disease when
| two years old and since then she has been grow
ing gradually worse until recently. and her suffer-
| ing at intervals was most painful to behold, and
battles all description The head ofthc hip bone
was thrown entirely out Of place, after which mat
terror puss formed IN the socket of the joint, and
for many months IN succession she was entirely
| deprived of all natural rest. She was reduced to
a mere skeleton and very often exclaimed, "Ob.
mother! wish 1t might please the good Man
above to take me to himself 1t was my iervens
prayer her suiierings might be terminated and my
anxious fears removed.
The Almighty has promised to he with us in
six troubles, and in the seventh he will not leave
us nor forsake us, if we put our trust and conf

our reach, had the bone once set, had it bistered
and purged. without effect. She commenced the
use of the Sarsaparlllo IN April last, and in less
than week there was an evident improvement;
a discharge came gu, from the hip joint, and in q
few days it commenced healing, and in less than
two weeks was enllrely closed. During the time
Of using the Sarsaparili she passed large quanti!

ANNEXATION OF TENAS.

In relation to this al-absorbing question, We have received from the Hon. F. CRoss a letter. under date of 18th April, 1s4l, from which we extract the following:
 :. I can now speak with confidence in rcla- ton to the treaty for the annexation of Texas. IL was~no doubt signed by the President on yesterday, and you will perceive, from the enclosed slip, that as soon as the documents deemed necessary to communicate with il can be prepared, will be submitted to the Senate Various opinions prevail as to its fate before that body. The impression is, gaining ground, however, that t will be acted upon promptly, and encounter but little op- position In case of rejection, the subject will, come before the House in the shape of an application for admission into the Union as a State, under that clause of the Constitu- ton of the United States which authorizes Congress to admit new States. The danger is that Mr. Clay7s friends in the Senate will, in order to avoid the consequences of q direct avoWal either for, or against annexation, defer action upon the treaty until the next session of Congress, when the contest for the Presi- dencv cannot be affected by it. NIT. Clay himself will, t IS understood, be here in a few days, and can, if he chooses, decide the fate of this momentous question:"
 Concerning the effect which the annexation will have upon our State policy he has the following most excellent and sensible remarks
 "1o my mind, it is difficult to account for any opposition in Arkansas 10 this measure The depreciation in property, as some seem to apprehend, is all objection sustained neither by reason or experience. That emigration would take that direction is doubtless true, but our State will become its great thorough laie, and could not fail to profit by it, as she will be brought more prominently into notice A certain consequence of annexation would be an increase in the price of Texas lands the cheapncss of which has hitherto operated so seriously in checking the settlement o Arkansas. Another, would be all enhanced value of out slave property, by adding to its security to the extent, at least, of twenty-five per cent The demand for the surplus flour pork, horses, Sc, produced m the northern part of the State, would be greatly augmented and the Santa Fe and Chihuahua trade facili- tated. Many other direct advantages to the State might be enumerated, but have noi leisure 10 pursue the subject. Our people

 Dea Sir - have had the honor to re- c:ive your letter informing me, that it had been stated in a public debate ill Arkansas, by one of your citizens, that had written a letter in which had said that if had been in Congress at the time would have voted for the Bankrupt Act of 1911, and requesting me to say whether the statement was well iound- ed.
 The gentleman to whom you alludc has been misinformed. have never written, or said, that would have voted for the act if | had been in Congress, because l would not have done so. He may have been misled by receiving an imperfect account of public letter of mine, written the year before the passage of that law, and extensively published in which the reasons why Banks should be included ill bankrupt law if any were pass cd, and the objections against ihe voluntary bankrupt law, applicable to all classes of debtors, like that of lS4l, were stated al large. h that letter said, that if Congress, at is
