ANNEXATION EXTRAS.

The administration has been as liberal of its unau-
horzed promises to Texas, the Post office depart
ment formerly was Of extra allowances. 1t is a part
Of the same corrupt design Of accomplishing faudu-
lent partzan ends. by usurpatons and grauitous as
sumptons of power. As Mr. Polk succeeded in rem
dering the last Congress sufficiently obsequious to
pass the Annexation Resolutions it now remains to
be seen, whether he will prevail upon tho next 10 rat
ify the gross assumptions upon which the annexation
has, in fact, been based.
Mr. Donaldson, the representative of the United
States in Texas, at this juncture appears to have
stuck at nothing. As far as we can judge from so
much of his correspondence as has already been
published he has promised the Texans, military
cor and supplies, internal improvements on large
scale, and the assumption oftheir debts .
This last point seems to have been taken up first
Probably the domestic manufacturers and holders Of
Texas scrip required Mr. Donaldson to make them
EASY on that interesting subject, before they would
listen to his other arguments. ... l..- T.

A few davs after tho death Of Mrs. Anson, there
came a man to Mr. Rugges in search Of employment
and as his servant had been numbered with those
who had been swept away by the sickness, he gave
him a situation and as he takes nctive part in the
closing scenes of this story, it may BIO well to give
short description of him. His dress and manners to-
eether gave him the appearance of being very vcr
dant specimen of humanity but whether he was as
verdunt in reality he appeared remains TO be seem
Ills pantaoons which were OF dark gray color, eS-
tended nearly half way from his knees to his ane'es'
at which point they tapered off as small compass
as woud admit Of the passage of his foot whenever
he had the occasion TO take them of or put them on
while at the top they gave evidence OF The dissolution
of co partnership by mutual consent and agreement
between them and his fire red vest, over winch dan
alod the ends Of cravat shade or two darker than
that of his vest Ills coat OF n dark brown, the
shirts of which were but little than couple oil
hand breadIhs in length; on tho front of which was
mounted two rows Of buttons Of unsulied brightness
To crown all, rather, the crown OF all, was placed
a beaver in slantng position, the rim OF which
would measure nearly two inches in width, and the
crown TO correspond, resembling very much an old
fashioned Church steeple In this singular costume
he made his appearance before Mr. kugs'es' and as
we have before stated, obtained situation. His
course of conduct for long time, indicated that he
Svas as green as his appearance indicated. BY de
grees however he became initiated into tho arts and
mysteries of Etown life and quite nm adj
ept in all the crooks and turns enough to show that
he had been broken in He faithful and gained
the entiLe confidence OF his employer and that to an
extent that no one had ever before. Indeed, the
Of gentleman even permitted him TO carry the key to
his money chest, which if report was true was no
small privilege, for it said to contain large a.
mount Of money. There was but one thing about D.
badiah, (for that was the which he was caled')
that created any suspicion as to his honesty; and
that was the fact that he frequently gone from
home for day so, and never appeared willing to
tel where ne had been, what had been the nature
of his business. But this, not enough TO create,
in Mr. ugges mind sufficient distrust of Obadiah
20 keep him from entrustng to him all his secrets

THE DIFFERENCE. The York Tribune
mikes an estimate Of the difference between the price
which wool sold at one year ago (when the manuiac-
turers believed Clay would be eected) and the pres
ent price. The difference per pound it puts down
at A cents and at this the loss to the woo-growers
of the country is ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS.
The Tribune says that the election ofPok and the
more recent expressed determination of his party to
reduce the Tariff has had the effect to stop the en-
Iargement ofthe business Of the wooden manufactures
aud to stop competition in woobuying.
Pen CoNTRA. The slave-dealers of the South
have experienced, according to the auction sales OF
slaves, an increase of 25 or 80 per cent on their
slaves To be moderate then in the estimate the rise
on the value of the slaves of the South has been
more than TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS since Mr.
Folks election s. the consequence of the progress
of Annexation. In this business the Locofoco party
of Vermont had hand. They, with the aid Of
some 500 Sd party votes, sent Paul Dillingham; TO
