From our Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, March 25 1871.
All the statements in the New-lork papers last
week about the arrival Of Gen. Henderson, the dis
play of flags fritg OF cannon; sc. consequent
thereon and the arrival of Mr.. Mason, were utterly
false: not word of truth in them. These state
ments, il appears, emanated from the True Sum-
although the Intelligencer unjusty attributes them
to the New-York Sun
Gen. Henderson has not arrived although he Is
expected hourly. He was at Natchitoches, Louis-
ana, on the eth of this month"; on his way here. 1t
Is expected that, ere this, he has been at the Her
mitage TO see Gen. Jackson. You may most conf
IDENTIFY rely on what tell YOU about his ultimatum
of making an offer to England in of i'll success
here although do not of course say that this will
have the slightest effect the conduct OF the Senate
here Yet while Mr.. Packenham denies emphat-
calIv that Eng land means make the first proposals
for any kind of union with Texas, he does not say
that she would be unwilling 10 enter into desra-
bic treaty of Cnion-say n sort of Commercial
Union tNc.-with that country, if her own terms be
offered her. England could easily obtain the con-
sent of Mexico to celonZe Texas and, therefore, II
is alleged this Government is trying 10 gain the
consent of Mexico to the annexation.
Above all, do not imagine that | consider these
movements will succeed; on the contrary, say
they will not let the present Government maneuver
as they may. And here lei say that | am sur
prised that any one should take Senator Walkers
table for nv calculations or your belief In giving
IT, expressly dissented from IT, have all along
put down all the Northern States against Annexa-
ton, except New Hampshire and Pennsylvania.
also put down kentucky against It, The only error
in Judgment that | made was in suppOsing that
AIangllm and the Tennessee Senators would 90 Tor
it. now find that they will oppose it, although the
Southern Members in the House say openly that
these three, with Berrien, Crittenden and More
head, dare not oppose Instrumentation. not only be-
eve that they darede so, but feel that they W5H
do so and the of these gentlemen will dispose
of the whole matter But in addition to this, the
Senators from Missouri and Illinois, and flanagan,
are so enraged about the course OF MDuffe,
Huger. and Haywood on Oregon that they now say
they will oppose the Annexation in any shape
The judicious conduct of the Wing Senator'S on
the Oregon question last week has been of the great
est benefit 10 the country. 1t has laid the two evil
spirits for the whole session. On Saturday last, the
Calhoun men in the House went round to Owen, In
gersoil, and the Oregon leaders, and begged them 10
postpone the discussion of Oregon III the House
sine die, out of respect to Mr.. Calhoun so that he
might enter on The negotiation perfectly untrammel-
| ed !; and they have agreed to do so.
And thus, were il not for the Rhode Island war
question: we should now have nothing discuss but
the Tariff the Appropriation Bills and the poor, ne
| elected question of Post Office Reform By the
bye as soon as certain gentlemen receive their IN
str@ct'ons from home, the Iarlfi Is to be taken up
for the discussion OF it in the House. II will proba-
| bly, come up this week
Mir. Calhoun left home on Saturday last for
Charleston and is expected here on Wednesday OF
| Thursday.
An alarm was spread through the City late last
night that the White House was on fire. and to the
spectators from Gadsby's it appeared that this was
really the On locking up the Avenue, q build

thereto, and already The Loco ocos had set it down
as of Amos kendall's omens; when it turned out
TO be large stOne-cutters shop, close TO the Aven-

Persco's beautiful group OF s,atuary-the Land

1t is sincerely to be desired that the excellent plan
laid out by the Hon. Mr. Pratt for Washington's
Monument &c. may be carried out at once. He
deserves the thanks of the country for his endeavors
