TEXAS MONEY,

We have been informed, by one Of
our most estinabc and distinguished
fellow citizens, that Major Andrew
Jackson Donaldson, our Charge d'Af-
fairs to Texas, assured him that he had
taken the necessary steps to ascertain
the amount of Texas bonds and notes
unredeemed at this time. The Major
was satisfied that the amount now in
circulation is not more than between
five and six millions of dollars. For
the correctness Of this statement, ex-
President Houston, than whom no one
has better means of being accurately
informed on the subject, gave the stron-
gest assurance and vouched in positive
terms. We presume from this state
ment, that great quantity of the Tex
ian bonds and notes has been received
by the government in payment for lands
and hence the reduction of the debt
of the Republic.
We have thought it an act Of mere
justice to make known the facts above
mentioned, as we are informed interes-
ted persons, stock. .jobbers and specula-
tors are very busiIy engaged in propa-
eating reports, that the public debt of
Texas, including her paper money in
circulation, amounts to thirty mill lions
of dollars. The object of these people
manifestly, is to depreciate the current
value of Texas bonds and notes, in or
der that they themselve may buy them
up at the lowest prices. We venture
to predict, that in six months from this
day, Texas lands, now selling at fifty
cents, will find willing purchasers at
five dollars an acre--and that Texas
government paper, will rise to eighty
cents in the dollar, probably to par.

THE NORTH BEATEN BY THE South.
The great race between the north
and south which took place over the
Union course, Long Island, on the 18th
inst, resulted successfully to Peytona,
the southern nag. The stakes were
$4,000 aside, and not less than half
"a million Of dollars, according to the
Herald, changed hands. The fist heat
was won by Peytona in minutes SO,
seconds, and the second in 7 minutes
As seconds; being II seconds longer
than Fashions first heat with Boston.
The course is said to have been in an
unfavorable condition, being covered
to a considerable dopth with sand and
dust.

CREATING THE TRACK

In our winter school boy days, we
not unfrequently amused ourself, with
others, in chasing rabbits, and who that
has ever done so, does not know their
natural instinct for beating their own
track to deceive the pursuer. For a
circle or two we could follow them, but
soon were lost in their multiplicity OF
tracks and crosses, and further pursuit
was abandoned in utter hopelessness.
Just so with Kelley's Bank Bill, which
is intended 10 run riot with the best in
terests and prosperity ofour great State
you can follow him understanGingly
for a few sections, but before you are
done, you find he has so "beaten the
track" that you are lost in a fog of con-
flictingprovisions. Prince Alfred; ;who
is the ruling star of federal whiggery in
Ohio, know the firm conviction of the
people as to the necessity of binding
bankers in their individual capacity for
the bank issues, and hence his cunning
in stringing out a bill of rs sections,
which few men can follow through with
a correct understanding Of its powers.
This is also prominent feature Of
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1845-05-24

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN ALLEGHENY CT
TY-ABOUT THIRTY DWELLING HOU-
SES AND FOUR LARGE WAREHOUSES; S
DESTROYED!
About 70 o'clock last night fire
broke out in Whiteman's carpenter
shop, near the Canal. between Sandus-
Ky and Federal streets, and before il
was arrested, destroyed over 80 valu-
able dwellings, and four very large Ca
nal warehouses, together with several
blacksmith, carpenter, cabinet, and
other shops. The wind was blowing
very strong at the time--but through
the unparalleled exertions of the fire
men of both cities, its further progress
was finally stopped about 8 o'clock.
The loss by the fire is estimated at
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars-the
Canal Warehouses being a. the time
full of valuable goods. The books OF
the transportation companies have been
saved, and we are requested to state
that no interruption of business need
be apprehended by our friends abroad.
So far as we can learn, the fire is at
tributed to an incendiary.
