Cape Horn it win save ten thousand miles to take

HE CONGRESS FRIGATE, HER EQUIPMENT AND
DEsTNATIoN.-A correspondent Of the Albany Ar
gus, at Norfolk, Virginia, writes as follows the
18th OCTOBER
"The United States ship Congress Capt Stock
tony is in this port and will sail as soon as her
lst proxmo. Mr.. Ten Eyck, the newly appointed
commissioner to the Sandwich islands, and Mr..
Turrill, the new consul, with their families are now
here, waiting the sailing Of the frigate.
"The Congress is noble ship of some 1000 tons,
carrying GO guns and upwards, and is styled here
the pride Of the navy She is to be the flagship
Of the commodore, (Stockton,) who, by-the-by, is
one of the most gallant, generous efficient and popu-
lar officers ofwhich our navy boasts. Capt. Dupont
is in no way his INFERIOR and the junior officers lack
only age and experience to be his equals. The
crew, numbering some $50 mer, are hardy, tenn
perate, well-disciplined, well-behaved, and good
looking body of men.
"The frigate is commodious and well provided,
and everything which skill and science can do TO
make her effective and safe vessel, has been DONE
1t is possible even that some of the terrible shack
les' that have excited the pompous horror of the
London Times, may have been provided. No ship
of war, in the American or English navy, deems
her equipment complete without them. She is also
said to be fast sailer. She will probably have an
opportunity of trying her sailing qualities with the
frigate Columbia, which is now fitting out here des-
tined for the coast of Brazil. 1t is expected that
she too will sail about the time the frgate Congress
is ready, in which event you may rely upon it the
log book of both frigates will show good sailing
"The Congress, after a short stop at Rio, will
proceed around the Cape to Valparaiso, and from
thence to the Sandwich islands, to land her passen-
gers. After short stay there, she will probably
cruise to and along the coast of Mexico Calfor
mia, and Oregon. II is expected she will reach the
islands about the first of March next"

whole chain ofthc northern Cordilleras; and amongst
them, is Pixies Peak, the very highest You may
have an idea of the altitude of its immense summit,
when tell you we were marching seven days, long
marches, directly towards il, from the time we first
saw 1t, until we arrived at its base. This part OF
the march was severe, for we suffered much for
want Of water, and the grass was very poor. We
struck the Arkansas on the 26th of July, about ten
miles from where it debouches from the mountains,
and abouta hundred miles from it's extreme source.
Passing down the north bank of the Arkansas, with
Mexico on the south side, (you must know this
river, here, is the dviding-line between the two
countries,) we arrived at Fort William, trad.
ing post Of Messrs. Bent, st. Vrain, IL Co.,
on the 18th. Here was deposited quantity
Of public stores, and a sufficient supply of pro-
visions was taken from them, to last to For,
Leavenworth. Our stay at this place was necessari-
ly short; but were entertained in truly hospitabe
style by the gentlemanly proprietors. We missed
Captain Fremonts party; but after we had LETT Fort
William he arrived there, passing across the coun-
try from the Kansas TO the Arkansas. Having
large packages Of letters, &c. for the gentlemen OF
our expedition, he forwarded them by an express,
and they reached US four or FIVE days after On the
7th Of August we struck the Santa Fe trace, where
II crosses the Arkansas. During this part Of the
route, we saw numerous herds OF buffalo, from
which our hunters had no difficulty in procuring a
sufficient supply Of meat for the daily subsistence

Fort LeayenwoIth on the Oath Of August, without

march that was ever performed in the same period

The Richmond Wing" is pleased to insinuate,
that whilst we say nothing openly in the "Union''
about our preference Of senator in Virginia, we in
dictate our wishes in private letters. Let do jus
tce to ourselves. We know what is due TO that
proud State; and whilst take the deepest interest
in her destinies. We know what is due to ourselves,
We have not meddled with any of her elections, in
any form whatsoever and we mean not to NEEDLE with
them. We will not mngle with appointments here or
there. We have other duties to engross our atten-
ton, (graye and interesting enough they are, in all
conscience) and the cabinet at Washington, and the
Legislature Of Virginia, amply competent to Sc
lect their own officers, without our interposition.
Let us also addwhat is, perhaps, alike due to the
present editors of the Enquirer" to the editor Of
the "Union"thatin all great matters pretend not
to advise them. They have principles and UNDER
standings Of their own, to regulate their own
The only advice which we have ever given them is,
"Let the storm of abuse fall upon my head-never
defend me. These attacks cannot injurc me in the
opinion of virtuous people. As for yourselves,
do not initiate the tone of my opponents. Preserve
the dignity of the press, becomes gentleman; for
if editors do not treat each other gentlemen, how
can they ever expect others to do it'''

IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT.

One of the most important-perhaps the most inn
portant-appontmen which the "Union" has ever
announced, is the one which we publish in this
evenings paper. 1t is the appointment of Levi
Woodbury., esq, ofNew Hampshire, to the bench
of the Supreme Court of the United States. En-
dowed as that supreme tribunal 10 with great pow
ers, it is important to fill il with men Of the proper
talents, principles, and qualifications. Mr. Wood
bury is emineny entitled to the honor, not merely
account of his public services, but more especial
ly by his eminent accomplishments a sound con-
stitutional urist, in the maturity of his mind and
the vigor Of his faculties. We congratulate the
country, therefore, upon his appointment. Our
great regret arises from the loss of his effective and
brilliant talents one Of the great "felds of his
fame" The Senate of the United States. There he
will be greatly missed--for there he has distin-
gushed himself by the business Of his views and
the efficiency of his talents.

MEXICAN AFFAiRs.--We were yesterday favored
with the perusal of letter from Mexico, received
by the last arrival here. II contained some spec
uiations in regard TO Mexican affairs not without
interest.
The absolute refusal Of the Mexican troops to
move upon Texas has been before mentioned, and
allusion has been made to prontnciamento by
Paroles, as being more than half expected. In
Tampico it was rumored that he was likely to de-
clare himself consul. In Vera Cruz the rumor was
that he would pronounce in favor Of regency
consulate, to be composed of three military mem
Tornel, Valenci, and himself This report was be-
lieved by very shrewd men in Vera Cruz, to be al
together probable. Surprising these three military
men" to be perfectly pure and patriotic, il is held
that they could do nothing more acceptable to the
nation, and especially to the busness-classes, than
TO overturn the present administration, which Is
without money, without credit without energy,
and without power, and which ought not, therefore,
10 be allowed to stand.
Americans in Vera Cruz were looking for news
of demonstration to be made on the western coast
Of Mexico by our Pacific squadron. They were SO
eager for such a consummation, as to give counte-
nance to a report afoat, that Monterey had sec
ond time fallen into American hands. We give
these conjectures and rumors for what they may be

responsibility upon .himselG and he has met them
with great frmpess and talent. The country IL
under great obligations to him for the efficiency
and the success of his negotiations; and while
the great work of the union Of the two republics
shall form an important era in the history of the
present age, the name Of Andrew j. Donelson
will become intimately associated with this mos,
remarkable and iustrous event. He has not yet
entirely recovered from the ndisposi,ion which he
contracted in Texas, and which pursued him to
Tennessee; yet he is now convaescent, and we
hope his health will be rapidly re-established.
