States is about 10 set up rivalry with old
Virginia, as to which is hereafter to be the

Every body here is going into the tobac-

orange, as it requires no machinery, and
the poorest can engage in it. The expert

proved extremely encouraging. The arti-

TEXAS DEBTs.--The Texans have no
notion of being caught mapping, A cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Herald gives
an amusing account of these debt,poyerS:
We compile the following from the Texas Ma
tional Register OF the 10Th ulI: =,
Mr.. Armstrong, on the 26h OF June, asked
leave to introduce bill barring certain claims,
debts, judgments, &C., which he said he would
read and explain how it was connected with the
subject OF annexation.
The object OF the bill was 10 prevent the col
lection OF claims against the inhabitants OF Tex
as by the citizens OF the United States.
Mr.. Armstrong said there were "many wor
thy citizens in many Of the counties who would
be relieved by bill OF this nature" "Wor,
thy?" "Relieved!" no doubt. "There were
great number of persons in this Republic, he
had no doubt in the world, 'oho mould oppose the
measure of annexation, unless they thought their
right and interests aoould be guarded and pro-
tected By the action of Congress-"
Mr.. Smith, of Fannin, was opposed TO the
bill. He said "it proposed to do away with all
just demands against those who have emigrated to
this country from any Of the States. The mea
sure of annexation, he said chad been carried
by parcel of people who have come into the
country lately, and no,o scanted TO get rid Of
paying their honest debtsp "Why, sir, said
Mr.. S. 'as came from home on my way here,
passed through people who were about to
hang me; not three out of five Of whom had
been in the country long enough TO take the
oath Of allegiance; and these people acanted to
control my UOte!" This is Texas moral sua.
sion, we suppose. Vote to exhonerate US from

credit to the family. He talks like man oil
sense-an honest man.
Mr.. Armstrong replied "many have come tc
this country under adverse and rery embarrassing
circumstances. True as the book. You, one
Of "many!' Eli, Mr.. Armstrong, "The very
idea Of being harrassed is enough to terrUy anc
drive them into opposition TO the great measure
Of annexation"
There was good deal further debate on thu
bill, and it was somewhat amended, but finally
carried by a vote OF % TO II. So the homes
Texans are pretty efectually protected against
their creditors in the States.

NORTHERN BOUNDARY.

We find the following letter from the
Commissioner of the General Land Office,
in the Reporter of Tuesday. 1t is mat
ter of some importance 10 the people of
that section:
GENERAL LAND OrrIcE,
August 29th, 1945.
SIR: | have examined the subject Of the
Northern Boundary of Missouri, and find that
this office, without entering into the merits OF
the claim Of Missouri 10 the lands South Of
Browns line, has uniformly regarded Sullivan's
line as the boundary between Iowa and Missouri
in all its official action relative TO the lands on
both sides Of that line. Such being the case,
and as the sales by the United States, Of the
lands in the disputed territory could not and
were not intended 10 affect she claim OF Mis-.
souri, to Jurisdiction over those lands, by merely
describing them as lying in Iowa, uniformity Of
action required that the course heretofore pursued
should be continued, and hence the lands North
Of Sulivan's line were proclaimed for sale in
Iowa. In consequence, however, OF very nu
merous petitions, setting forth the injury that
would be inflicted on the settlers in the Southern
portion Of Iowa. by selling the lands in that re-.
gon, as directed by the Presidents Proclamation,
OF 9th May last, it has been determined 10 post.
pone the sales OF those lands till next summer;
and in the meantime | sincerely hope that this
question OF boundary will he finally settled.
Very Respectfully,

STATISTICS OF CALoMEL.-One house in
Philadelphia, says the United States Gaz-
cite, has prepared and sold, within the last
three years, 1900 pounds of caomel. The
consumers pay the apothecary for the med
icine at prices varying from $50 to $500
per pound. Putting the above quantity at
only $50, it would appear that the price
paid for it has exceeded a million of dol.
lars. 1t is supposed that the quantity man.
ufactured by other houses is at least six
times as much. If so, the cost of calome
in three years has been $6,OOO,OOO, or an
average of two millions per annum.

The anti-rent excitement has become so
high in the county of Delaware, New
York, that Gov. Wright has been forced to
issue proclamation declaring that county

Gun BOUNDARY WITH MExICo.-The
Washington Union refers TO the question of
our boundary with Mexico, and says:
"In accepting our proposition, Texas agrees 10
be governed by the boundary which the United
States may arrange with Mexico. 1t becomes their
duty, therefore, 10 settle this boundary by an ami.
cable (and we have no doubt by beral) ne.
gotialion on our part, or by the terms OF The treaty
OF peace. By Texas, we mean the Texas which
we obtained as part Of Louisiana. We claim
the Rio Grande as her western boundary, as we
have ever claimed it since the treaty OF l903 and
as it has been claimed by every Administrations

From MExICo.-The barque "Ann Lou
isa," arrived at New York, on the evening
of the 2sth, from Vera Cruz. Although
not so late as more direct accounts, the
news is still of interest.
The Mexican government were making
great preparations for war. Among other
things, they had taken all the guns and mu-
nitions of war out Of the castle of San
Juan de UIloa, lest they should fall into the
hands of the Americans!
A large number of troops had marched
to the frontier of Texas. The whole force
when assembled, were to be under the
command of Gen. Bustamente. They say
the United States are sending troops into
Texas, and that they, the Mexicans, will
march through Teas on their Uay to
Washington, without declaring war.
1t was reported at Vera Cruz that the
Mexican Congress had passed the bill au-
thorizing loan of $l5,OOO,00O. This,
however, must be mistake, as Vera Cruz
letters of the 4th and 9Th speak of the bill
as being still under discussion, and the city
of Mexico papers of the 3Oth ult. are to
the same effect. But even if the bill should
pass, (Which is not improbable) it will hard
ly avail anything, being hampered with
conditions which we should suppose would
render it impossible to obtain the money
if, indeed it could be obtained under any
circumstances. The hope was that it
could be obtained in England.
1t was the opinion of prominent men at
Vera Cruz, that Gen. Almonte would be
elected President; in which case, they sup
posed that war would be inevitable.
L. J. Marschalk, Esq, came passenger in
this vessel as bearer of dispatches.
"The Rio Grande, Rio Grande del
Norle, and Rio Bravo, are all one and the
same river. This river is claimed as the
true boundary between Texas and Mexico,
by the Texans, but the Nueces is the boun-
Diary granted by Mexico as forming the
true division.
