Rowan Coin MINES We have in
this country the richest gold mine that
has ever yet been dicoverel in the L..
States. 1t is small vein from four TO
twelve inches wide; many bushels of
the uiaterieitaken 'FRONT.' have everyone
5000 to the bushel and some as high as
$500. We see il stated in the Meek
lenberg Jefersonian that IL SIG penny
weights of gold had been taken from
1t by seven hands about month since.
As might be expected on so small a
vein. the water soon became unman-
ageable, aud they began again at the
surface and struck a vein parallel 10 the
first, and nearly as rich as that. These
veins. as also all those in that region,
are believed TO increase in richness as
they descend. There are six or eight
other mines in the same region Of ex-
traordinary richness and different IN
many particulars from the other vein
mines in North fredericksburg,

"LEAP YEAR.-The Baltimore Sun
descanteth thus eloquently on this in
terestng topic, and saves US the troub-
lie of descantiug in similar key. We
merely add, that, for ourself, we re-
joice with exceeding great joy, that the
year has again come around, when wo-
man has that privilege SO earnestly
wished by RoSaIind 1--WE think in the
play
"Tho mems privilege Of speaking first"
"By referring to the Almanac, it will
be seen that bissextle or leap year, the
season OF female privilege as pleaders
at the court of Hymen, has again, in
the regular course Of time, come a
round, and bashful swains, as well as
timid lovers, must "stand and deliver"
1t is a privilege which has been sane
toned by the practice of age, and COM
ing to us approved by sage experlence,
should not be either abused or allow
ed to pass by unobserved. The "lords
of creation" must stand ready for the
encounter, for the time honored privi-
lege bestowed on the other sex equally
prohibits a refusal on their part. The
youthful and gay aspirant, the rusty old
bachelor, and the experienced widow
err. are all doubtless ready to receive
verbal or "seaed proposals" and fully
prepared to close a contract with the
Eairest bidder. Toll timid, :he BASH
ful, and the tickle minded, the dread OF
refusal, with the horrors of popping
the question: are serious obstacles TO
encounter, and have driven many a
faithful admirer from tho presence of
his "ladye love-" into the ranks ofthe
cold hearted old bachelors, caring not
a straw for them. TO save admirers
from so unfortunate position, we are
sure the ladies' will come to the rescue,
and in the language of The poet exclaim:
al tho altar Of Venus we've lighted our flame,
Ard a cordial submission is all that we claim"
Another popularity of leap year is
that the child whose fortune it may be
to be born on the 29th of Februay, will
behold the recurrence of his birthday
but once in four years. This peculiar
ity must be observed, and if the ladies'
"act well their part" the year, with all
its ancient acquisitions, and the we'd
dings, as well as other happy incidents
attendant thereon, will, in the due
course OF time occur, TO the great COM
fort and happeniss, we trust, OF sail
whom It may concern"

The Van Buren, papers IN the sur
rounding counties, we see, are stlli ad
herring to the exploded and o't're'u'eo
calumny of the 'sChite slavery speech oI
Henry Clay. They cannot hOd 10 any
reported speech that he ever used the
language imputed to him; but they Ind
that some one afterwards, in replying to
his speech, charged that what he SAID
had that effect, &c. The speech should
have been made in 1919, in the House
of Representatives, in Congress s-ond
the whole is now got up for the purpose
of assaiIing Mr.. Clay. Perhaps they
would rather be charging faIsehoods up
on Mr. Clay Than showing the reason,
the why, and the wherefore, that Mar
tin Van Buren,, in the Convention 10
amend the Constitution OF New York,
voted that a man, whether Wkite or
black, who had $3.50 worth Of property
should have vote; and that man
without properly could not vote. THIS

Texas.

The Treaty between John Tyler and
Sam Houston for the annexation OF Tex.
as to the United States, is now before
the Senate for ratification. We think
that there can be no doubt Of ils reisc-
ton. 1t is hoped that we will get tho
benefit OF the debate and vote in the
Senate The people ought to know who
is for, and who against, the annexation.
Mr. Clay he's spoken on the subjec-his
letter 10 the editors of the National ln-
teligeaCer shows his hand. He, in his
usual prompt and independent manner,
travels over the whole ground. He
goes against annexation. He says that
at the time Of the Treaty which ceded
the FIoridas to u9, he was 10 favor Of
leaving the Fordas as they were, be-
lievjng that, from the then condition Of
SPAN. that the FIOridas must eventually
fall into our hands; and under thsse cou.
sidera'ions Mr.. Clay was then in favor
ofthe Rio Bravo or Del Norte river as
our boundary, But the country, and
Cabinet OF James Monroe, thought diff,
ferently, and the Sabine was adopted.
Mr.. Clay thinks that in the progress of
events, the Canadas, &c, will either vol
UNFAIRLY or by force, be separated from
the mother country, and that he would
greatly prefer the Canadian Republic on
The North, our own ia the middle, and
Texas on the South.
Mr. CIay's letter disc|osea fact which
had escaped our notice, and that is, that
majority of the States formed out of
the territory would be free States. We
reColloct that 10 the settlement of the
Missouri Question, that it was then and
there determined that in any State here.
after admitted containing territory north
OF latitude 81 deg 80 min. north, there
shall be neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude. The knowledge OF the fact.
that instead of strengthening the slave
power in Congress, the contrary would
be the fact. Texas is susceptible of
making five States, three would be free,
and Two slave States. The letter of Mr..
Clay shows that it would give cause for
immediate war with Mexico. And that
he would not, under any circumstances,
interfere with tho present state Of things
in Texas; nor would he admit Of any
alliance with any foreign government
whatever.
Mr. Van Buren has also written q let
ter Of immense length, he is opposed o
copnexon with Texas at this time; but
under other circumstances, would be
willing to do about as circumstances
would require. In short, his present
position is hostile TO the annexation at
this time, but leaves room for going in
for the measure at any future time,
when peace between Mexico and Texas
exists; or when The country may seem
10 require it. 1t is emphsIcally a VaE
