JUDICIAL DISTRICTS.

We have heard some enquiry in relation
to the new organization of the Judicial dis
tricts. under the act passed at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature. The act takes eff
feet "from and after the next general cleo

MEXICO AND TEXAS.

1t appears BY the latest accounts from Mexico
brought by the u S. ship Nlncennes, that the MeA-
c~Asrss. h@A .-fa.Ai sis supplies OF hen
and money for the re-conquest of Texas, asked by
Santa Anna. 10 place Of giving lin thirty thousand
additional troops, they leave him TO rely On the
troops now in service and the national militia aud
instead of granting him four million Of dollars they
allow him one million provided, be can raise 1t
without resor,ing 10 forced loan. This speaks the
feelings of the representatives of the people OF
Mexico in regard to the .ubjugaiion OF Texas AT
the time of this decision of the Mexican Congress,
they did not know but the treaty had been ratified
by the Senate, and that Texas had already been
brought under the sovereignty of the United
States.
What becomes Of the with Mexico which
the Integencer and Slr. Benton have declared over
and over again that should take off the hands of
Texas, by the ratification Of the treaty. The Mexi-
can Congress had good reason for supposing that
Texas had already become part of the United
States, by annexation and treaty; and yet, in fact
they deny to Santa Anna all supplies both of men
and money to reconquer it. The authority to raise,
million Of dollars, except by forced loan, any
one al all acquainted with that country knows to be
nugatory.
We have the fullest evidence, which we referred
to on a former occasion, that even Santa Anna him
self, could not have thought Of war with this coun-
try, in the fact Of his sending his two Of war
steamers TO be repaired il New York, subsequently,
TO the date of the gasconading letter of Mr.. Boca-
negra 10 Gen. Alnonte.
Texas will be ours, but the policy Of the Mexican
Government is TO make US pay her well for it. That
shall have TO do. The rejection of the treaty
and the course pursued by Col Benton and his allies,
the Wings Of the Senate and the National In,el-
ysncer, will cost the country some ten fifteen mil
Lions Of dollars; perhaps twenty millions. Mark
our prediction in the eventful result
TRUE FRIENDS AND PROGRESSED FRIENDS.
The true friend evnces his sentiments by his ao-
tons. He reminds not those whom he is serving Of
his friendship, does be boas, Of il to Others for
rhe purpose Of having it conveyed 10 them through
such channels. He, conscious of his own sincerity
and integrity, is not spPrehensive that it will be
questioned BY others.
The protesting friend, aware Of his nsncerity, is
ever suspicious and spprehensve that the deceit be
practices will be detected His objects are selfish,
and his mode Of accomplishing them deceptive The
mort lavish he is Of professions the deeper the game
he is endeavoring to play Men should be wary Of
such friends for when they have gained their ends,
they will beiray those they have deceived.

But IT IS objected, Mr.. President BY the senator
uom Missouri, MIR. Benton that the treaty propo-
ses TO cede to Us portion of territory never belong
ing 10 Texas, but now and always, in the undisput-
ed possession OF Mexico. ! consider all these obiee-
tons as futile. II Texas had no claim TO the left
bank OF the RIO del Norte, we get no right by the
cession. The cesson for all she does possess Is
good. If convey FIVE hundred acres of land and
have title to but one hundred Of it, is not INV

Texas are to be adjusted hereafter But we have ac.

Texan Congress Of 1886, and as delineated on the
map accompanying the documents as extending 10

FOR SALE.

n WILL sell my beautiful estate in Virginia,
known as WOOD PARK, formerly owned by
Purser Thornton. 1t contains 1872 acres; is dis
tant about 81 miles from Orange Court House !;
~ miles north of Montpelier, the seat Of Mrs.
Madison; 30 miles north of Monticello, the for
mer residence OF Mr.. Jefferson and 10 miles east
Of the Blue Ridge, which is in full view. Its
precise situation may be found on any map show
ing the junction of the rivers Rapid Ann and
Robson, as the former bounds the property on
the west.
The soil of Wood Park is some Of the very
best in Virginia, being known the " red soil Of
the South West Mountain" and is in many res
poets, not unlike that of Lancaster Co., Penn,
and Hartford, Conn. Having purchased this es-
tate to crafty the wishes Of my family, and par
rcularly those of my eldest son, who was in
slructed by scientific English farmer, our eff
forts and money have been freely expended for
nearly four years int rapid improvements; hence
1t has not hitherto proved lucrative 1t is prince
~ estate, but frankness demands of me say
that "A 4" Gentleman Farmer should possess some
income from other sources, to render him entirely
comfortable.
will remark that it is well adapted to all agri-
cultural purposes. 1t is well watered and wood
ed, is also well stocked with fine horses, cattle,
sheep, hogs, &C. &C., and would sustain from the
shortness of winter, 5000 sheep, for which pur-
pose it is admirably adapted. TIE buildings,
and good, and the field and house servants are of
the very best description, and will only be sold
to kind master, with their entire consent. In
justice TO Northern purchaser | must say, in
sober TRUTH that the masters and misresses COM
prise all the slaves in Virginia.
My wish is TO sell The Estate and every thing
appertaIning to il, even 10 the furnished House
and the growing crops if desired-and l am re-
Gently advised by my son, the manager, that we
have, among other crops field of 100 Of
winter wheat of unusual promise.
The climate of w God Park is perhaps unsur-
passed in any country, both for iruitfuiness and
health. Pulmonary complaints unknown in
that region.
My price is thirty thousand dollars (30,OOO)
Tor The whole property described, including the
furnished House, Pictures, Library, the growing
crops, and family and barn stores on hand, and if
not sold previous to the 2Oth day of June-il will
be offered at public sale OF that day. The title
OF the property is perfect, and it is free from all
incumbrance.
The plain hospitalilies Of Wood Park are free
iy rendered TO any gentlemen and ladies DESTROYS

great pleasure in making them acquainted with
the delightful society with which they are sur
rounded.
