\ FATHER The Hartford Times
relates 4 case Of wonderful risk and
courage on the part Of a father A lit
Il boy, son OF fireman at one of the
Rhymeny furnaces, was playing about
the rails, when his foot slipped, and,
horrible to relate, he fell into the fur
mace. His father, with more affection
than prudence, Immediately sprang in
after him, in the forlorn hope to save
his child, and, strange to say, he was
quick enough 20 catch and throw him
out, but toe late however, for the boy
mast almost instantly have died. The
father had now exchanged situations
with his child. and found the greatest
difficulty in extricating himself from Eis
pcrilouS. position, which he was obliged
to do by catching hold of an iron BAR
h,tlc less than red hot. and swinging
himsclfout. but as soon as he had done
so he was senscless. The poor fellow
was carried home, in 4 dangerous and
uncertain state.

MEXICO,

As is very natural. and TO be expected, great
interest is now felt by the politicians of all par
ties in the affairs of Mexico. The next arrival
will perhaps bring intelligence of The fate Of
Santa Anna. A majority of the politicians in
this city incline to the belief that, by this time.
his public career has terminated.
Should he be destroyed by his enemies at
home, will not the Wing leaders, and the Bri-
fish capitalists, have contributed 10 produce his
downfall About midsummer we heard Of
divers significant whispers that certain friends
OF Mr.. Clay, in conjunction with certain gentle
men of another land. were anxious TO have
delayed the Mexican expedition against Texas.
IL was feared that TO overun and desolate Tex
as, during the heat Of the canvass, might
'.hazard Mr.. Clay's chances Of success"
Ii is quite certain that the invasion did not
take place. We think il is also certain that an
army of $4,000 men might have been on the
borders Of Texas by the middle Of August.
And we are quite sure that certain British
agents, (and no doubt the agents Of the same
gentry whose lamentations over the defeat Of
Mr.. Clay reached US by the last steam packet
could have furnished Santa Anna with the
''sinews of war" had il been deemed expedi-
ent TO doso But inasmuch as the funds could
not be raised by the 'lorced loan,n and mas
much as the army could not march without the
requisite treasure, of course il follows that the
aforesaid agents had the entire control Of the
matter
Delays being dangerous" and it being al
ways necessary for a military chieltain to keep
up his dazzling attractions, this detention Of
Santa Anna from the scene of his anticipated
brilliant exploits, may have dmmed his lusIre,
and weakened his hold upon the affections of
the People, until, finally, they resolved to cast
him aside altogether. Should such be the case,
we presume there will be lamentations 10 Mex
leo, as well as in tins country and in Great Bri-
tain. Really ii would seem that the blow re-
ceived by Federal Whggey, has shocked the
aristocracy Of half the globe!

From The Buffalo Daiiu Gazette.

We notice that the Commercial, of Tuesday after
noon, has taken its usual side in relation the Pres
dents Message and the controversy with Mexico
opposition TO our government and in favor Of its
enemies. AS such course is characteristic, il ex-
cites no surprise. Santa Anna and his mnions, are,
in the eyes of certain class of editors perfect
gons of honor and craftsmanship, while no ephets
are too opprobrious to be applied TO President Ty-
Ter, Mr.. Calhoun and Others who are attempting to
vindicale the American honor and name from insult
and aspersions. The British found the same kind of
aid in Jefferson and Madson's time and these emf
nent men were traduced and vilifed for pursuing
similar policy in seeking redress of our wrongs from
the aggresslons of England. And, so, we presume it
will ever be, so long as the rancorous spirit of I'm
prnciped partisanship oyercomes the promptings of
PATRIOTISM. firm, yet respectful remonstrance Of
our government against the lnhuman, treacherous and
barbaIous mode in which the Mexicans have waged
war against Texas, is denounced by those Mexico
Americans, while the charges of perfdy treachery,
SC. literally dealt out by Seuor Rejon against the
United States, lauded to the utmost-eyen Santa
Anna's official journal could not have done it BETTER
or apparently, with more hearty good will. We
are neutrai in poltcs--but not as between our
own country and its enemies, whoever, or wherever
they may be-whe,her in England, Mexico, or in our
midst.

THE GREAT WORK BEGUN.

The Washington letter in late number Of
the Richmond Enquirer, which predicted that
there would be Texas thunder in the House
Of Representatives this week, has been sub
Stimulated by the event
Mr.. CHAaLEs J. IsoERsoLL, Chairman Of
the Committee Of Foreign Affairs, opened the
debate In mastery manner this morning, and
we shall make arrangements To publish his
speech at length, as well as the rest on this lnss
reresting subject
Mr. Ingersoll, although he represents in part
one Of the great free States, is as ardent IN ms
advocacy Of the great measure Of the age"
and certainly as sound and comprehensive IN
his views, as any member from the far South
could be. Before his election, he addressed his
constituents on the subject of Annexation, and
declared that if elected, it must be with the I'M
derstaudng that he should advocate the great
measure on the bases Of the rejected treaty. He
was elected on these terms, and most nobly does
he redeem his pledge
We can now venture TO assure our readers
that majority of the Representatives OF the
People are determined 10 do their duty. Texas
will be annexed, as far as it lies in the power Of
the popular branch Of Congress To effect it,
Which plan will be adopted, of course is not
known-but the House will do its duty.
We think the treaty resolutions will be
adopted, with certain amendments. No doubt
other plans more advantageous TO our country
have been and can be suggested; but the qoes-
ton is whether Terds would agree TO them.
When the Treaty was formed, we doubtless
had the ultimatum of Texas on every impor-
tant point. In bargain requiring two parties 10
consummate it, both sides must be consulted
But, as the discussion proceeds, important
matters for grave consideration will doubtless
be developed, and the friends of Annexation
will no, be deferred from their purpose by the
confusion and distraction of multiplicity OF
plans.
The country will be gratified TO learn (and
the statement was made by Mr.. |. on good au-
thorty) that the annexation of Texas will not
be followed by any rupture with England,
France, or Mexico.

We agree emphatically with the editor of the

consequence Of this question but not from the
causes and considerations enumerated by him.
A Government so weak and so beset with fac
ton of the most horrible description as that of
Mexico, is incapable Of doing much damage to
us-a maritime People-whether on land or
sea, but especially not at sea. Her ports block
AIDED, whence are TO come the privateers and pi-
caroons whose depredations figure so largely in
the columns of the Intelligencer2 Her mari
time towns seized and taken possession Of by
our land and naval forces, the very ports Of
Mexico would be converted into additional
means of extending our commerce, and Of en-
larging our revenue. We now see in the recent
news of the revolution 10 Mexico, that no faction
there which may for the time being succeed can
have strength to spare for foreign hostilities
Each furious and unprincipled faction has to
watch the other with arms in its hands, and to
employ all the resources of the country in do
nestle corruption some of them probably in

real or supposed influence, as well as elsewhere
1t has to stimulate This sort Of gentry ''to I'M

have found that substituting talent although it
may be greatly inferior to the ability of Mira

cases the aid of such means; while there
are men in Mexico--as there have been

France, and the United States resembling Mi
