THE MYSTERY SOLVED.

Our readers will reooect that the rapid passage
of the Hon. AsHBEL SMITH, the Texan Secrets
of State, from New Orleans to New York, and
thence by ship to Europe, caused very considerable
speculations in the public mind in regard to the
object OF his visit. He has accomplished the OBJ
ject of his visit Europe and returned home
again. The New York Journal of Commerce thus
speaks of his missioni-
ave learn that he has accomplished
the objects of his mission, which consisted
neither in obtaining a loan nor in selling
his country to the French, English, or
Dutch, nor in procuring its independence
instead OF annexation to the United States.
Texas has now no diplomatic represen.
tatve in Europe, except Mr.. Dangerfeld,
who we believe, has some time since re-
ceived an order of recall. A principle
object Of Mr.. Smiths mission, as we un.
derstand il, was to prepare the wav for
closing the relations of Texas with Eu-
ropean Powers in a respectful and becom-
ing manner. Those relations had been
of the most friendly character, and the
Government oil England and France es-
pecially had manifested cordial interest
IN the welfare of the young Republic
That they wished her to remain indepen.
dent rather than be annexed to the Unit.
ed States, is beyond doubt; but this is
to be said to their credit, that, in any me-
gotiatons they may have had with Texas
for this object, they have never, either of
them, proposed TO reserve any peculiar
advantages themselves beyond what
should be enjoyed by other nations
This further should be said to their cred
it, that now, when they see that annexa-
alton is the will of the Texan people,
fairly expressed, they abandon all further
attempt at interference. And this, still
further, may be relied on, tina, they have
and will exert themselves to restrain Mex
leo from the infatuation of making war
upon the United States, which would on
ly serve to complicate affairs, without the
possibility of preventing annexation
Mr.. SMITH expresses bis opinion decided
Iy that there will be no war, not even
with Mexico"

We commend to the attention OF the reader the
onnobling thoughts below. from the pen Of the ven
cradle Bishop DoAaE. They breathe the true spir-
it-thcy speak language which should sink deep
into the reflections Of those to whose the mind
Of the country is committed. vii the legislators
Of Virginia act, and act promptly, upon the subject
of Education truly lin all good works the begin
ming is one-hsf" Let them take up the Common
Schools and establish throughout the Common
wealth fountains at which the mind drinks, and
is refreshed and strengthened for its Of
funess and glory" Bishop Doane says:
EDUcATIoN.-We utterly repudate, es
unworthy not of freemen only, but of men,
the narrow notion that there is to be an
education for the poor, as such. Has God
provided for the poor a coarser earth, a
thinner air, a paler sky?-Does not the
glorious sun pour down his golden food
as cheerily upon the poor mans home, as
the rich mans palacel Have not the cot
tager's children as keen sense OF all the
freshness, verdure, fragrance, melody,
and beauty ofluxurani nature, as the pale
sons of kingsl Or is it on the mind that
God had stamped the imprint OF baser
birth, so that the poor mans child knows
with an Unborn certainty, that his 10. is to

1t is not 50. God has not done it,
Man cannot do it. Mind is immortal
Mind is imperial. 1t bears no mark of
high or low, of rich or poor. 1t heeds no
bounds of time or place, OF rank or cir.

school, is common, not as interior, not as
the school for poor mems children, but as
the light and air are common. 1t ought
to be the best school: because it is the
first school; and in all good works the
beginning Is one half. Who does not know
the value to community of plentiful

infinitely more than this is the instruc-
ton of the common schools for it is the

A SINGULAR CASE.

HESRY G. GREEs, OF Troy NJ Y, has been tri-
ed and convicted for the murder Of his wife under
very singular circumstances. We have only been
enabled TO place our hands upon portion of the
testimony in the case, from which we gather these
facts: Green was young man, about % years of
age, Of wealthy parentage, and extensive and inau-
entail family connection. tie suddenly fell in love
with beautiful girl Of 49, with whom he entered
into engagement to be married. which hts friends
most violently opposed, accoun, of their inc
quality in point Of wealth and family station in life
The young man, however. persisted and married
the girl, who, in few days after her marriage,
taken seriously i'll, ard grew worse from day
to day until death came to her relief before the FIRST
week of her married life had passed away. The
evidence shows strong reasons for the belief that
he deliberately poisoned her, cody standing at her
bedside (remarks tae Boston SUM looking upon
her agonies, although, in to her solemn adj
Duration, he declared that she had never wrouged
or offended him, gwen him for displea-
sure or suspicion And not less strange is the fact
that she took whatever he offered her, without OBJ
lection murmur, while yet laboring under the
belief that what he gave mortal poison.
We can no reason for the strange conduct Of
this young man. II is said the dispIeasure of his
friends operated severely on his mind to
him to commit the foul and wicked murder for
which he is to die the scsffold the 10Th of
September next. If this indeed be the reason, il
is well that the world is to be rid of him so SOON
for wretch with mind and heart to re-
strain him from the commission of so horrible
crime az that with which he stands convicted and
upon such pretert richly deserves the most
ribe and marked visitation of the violated laws Of
bis country.

prosperity Of tho country, which they
seem to imagine are the consequences oil
the election Of Mr.. Polk to the Presiden.
cy, instead Of the ruin, which they state,
his opponents prophesied would result

ever, that 1t was not the mere election Of
Mr.. Polk which his opponents deprecated
as the probable cause of disastrous conse-
queuces to the country, but the policy
which his friends, or portion Of them,
maintained that he would pursue. The
prosperous state Of the country is to be
attributed to the policy adopted prerioas
to Mr.. Folks election, aud is, we hesitate
not to say, dependant for It's continuance
upon that policy remaining unchanged.
