HURRAH FOR THE TRADE OF
VERMONT.

As soon as the friends of the Concord
and Lebanon route which terminates at
the mouth Of White River found that a
disposition was manifested to continue
the Fitchburg road TO the same spot,
they awoke from their stupor which has
long kept possession Of them, Within u
week EIGHT Hundred Thousand DOL
lars orthe stock has been subscribed for
in the country on the route. The sui
scriplon is still rapidly progressing and.
agents have been sent to Boston to secure
the capitalists of that CRY. Fitchburg
will not give up so rich prize as the
business of Vermont the Canadas and the
Lakes without an effort. But will they
contend for 1t by extending their line up
the Connecticut to the mouth of White
River which makes their road &c miles
longer, or take the Rutland route, thus
securing the most poPulous, wealthy,
manufacturing and mineral portion
of Vermont as their exclusive pos
session, and at Burlington taking an c.
quail chance for the business of the Lakes
and Canada with the Central road should
it be continued 10 Concord We shall

IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS.

From the Ncm Orleans Picawne, Nay 90.
LATER FROM Mexico. The TIT arrv-
ed yesterday from Havana, which place
she left on the 10th innst. We have re-
ceived Havana files 10 the day of her de-
par,ure. The only news of Importance
brough, by the I. relates TO Mexican af
fairs. The Thames arrived at HAVANA
on the 9th from Vera Cruz, having LEFT
Mexican port OIL the LIST instant. The in
,eIigence brought by her is eight days la
ter from Vera Cruz, and nine days later
from the city Of Mexico, The papers we
have seen assert that the Executive of
Texas has opened negotiations with Mex
leo, in regard to the recognition of the in
| dependence oflhe former state 1t would ap-
pear from these advices that President
Jones, with the help of the English and
French hasses, has got the Mex C n
So'Sihu rhNS''"'h wv III SOtiu''o'i
upon the understanding that annexation
shall no: take place. There is Iiule or no
room to doubt that the English minister
has performed the part of go-between in
the transaction, as neither of the contract
ing powers have diplomatic relations with
the other.
Stnor Cuevas's Message is to this eff
feet:
Genlcmen-The affairs of Texas Icing
such deep Importance as to claim the
first consideration OF the Congress and
Executive, the Government cannot without
assuming special responsibility, defer
the resolution that must be taken to a
compatible with the honor and interest Of
the Republic. The Government have
assembled a considerable body of troops
upon that frontier, and employed all its
resources to accomplish the proposed end,
and having considered of those asked of
the Legislative bodies, sees no other course
to persue than so to carry out the plan
proposed as sustain the Republic In all
the dignity due to its honor and good
name.
Circumstances have transpired which
render it both necessary and proper to
enter upon negotiations that will prevent
the annexation of Texas TO the United
States, as such an event would inevitably
lead to war with the American Repub-
lic-for Mexico would not agree to an
observation-disclosures deplorable such a
conflict might be. Texas has taken the
initiative in proposing a settlement, and
his Excellency, the President ad interim,
well understanding its Importance and the
necessity of taking resolution in rela-
ton 10 it, it also persuaded that the Ex-
ecutive cannot proceed in the matter
without being first authorized to do so
by the Chambers; that in the case before
him he should not exercise the powers
conferred by the constitution for con-
Quoting negotiations with foreign pow
ers.
The Government-always faithful to
its duty, and DESTROYS of submitting its
acts to free discussion, and considering
that national questions should be disposed
Of with patriotic spirit and conscien-
tiousness superior to assaults and above
prejudices of every character-cannot
decline the proffered negotiation without,
in his opinion, violating his duty by de-
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1845-06-05

The book entitled Letters from &
Landscape Painter" to which our South
ern correspondent alludes was written BY
a Mr. Charles Lanman of New York, who
vegetated in and about Burlington las
summer or the summer preceding. We
have never seen the book, but from wha
we have seen of it we judge it must be {
remarkably green affair. The stories the
author tells about vermont Judges anc
"Vermont Girls" must have hid their orr
gin in an attempt to rival Jack, the Gi
ant Killer.

Both horses were wet when brought
out for the second heat, but Fashion was
evidently in the best condition At the
start Peytona had slightly the advantage,
but Fashion recovered at the quarter
stretch, and the two continued for three
miles with but half a head difference in
their position. Peytona won the two
first miles by half a head. Fashion won
the third by the same; but on entering

with Peytona The odds were agains,

She was ridden by Laird, and Barney
rode Peytona. We give the account oil

and onthe first quarter stretch got the
inside of the track, passing ahead of Pey-
