gone out from their mother country, as the twelve

exploring and possessing themselves of the only

for his American Israel. Having accomplished
the great object of their mission they return,
not as prodigals whose estates had been wasted
in riotous living, or with even specimens OF the
production OF their delightful country, but with
the country itsefE-suficient in extent to make an
empire: and this country they are willing: to lay

no doubt truly, that N. P. Talmadge has been
removed from the Gubernatorial Chair OF Wlscon

place. Dodge was formerly Governor OF the
Territory, but was removed by Harrison, to give
place to Doty Mr.. Taln,ad ge made up his plans
two years ago to remove to Wisconsin, and some
how persuaded Mr.. Tyler to appoint him Cover
it was not well received in the Territory, with
the affairs of which the new Governor was ol
course unacquainted, and the re-appointment Of
Dodge will prove very acceptable.

UNITED STATES FRIGATE CoNoREss,
Norfolk. Sept %, l845.

The honorable Secretary of the Navy, accompa-
MED by Commodore Warrington, arrived here last
evening, and visited our frigate this morning We
gave him salute on coming on board, and another
as he left us, accompanied by the bencdction of
three cheers from the crew, who had manned the
yards for the purpose.
The Secretary evinces energy Of character in eve
nv look and motion. He must be about forty-eight
years of age--rather above the medium stature
slender in form, but wiry and active. He has a
large eye, and mouth which indicates decision. He
has certainly displayed much energy and business
capacity since he took the chair of the Navy De-
partment He shook hands with all the officers, i'm
spcced the ship, made brief and pertinent address
to the crew, and took leave. He visited also the
Pennsylvania the other national ships in the harbor,
the naval hospital, and the navy-yard. We make
here, at this time, quite warlike appearance, and
the visit ofthe Secretary was well timed.
Commodore Stockton will lft his broad pcnnant
on board the Congress. He is to relieve Commo-
dore Sloat, and TO command the Pacific station.
That is our destnation-not the gulf, or the Medi-
terranean. We shall sail in six or seven days, at
longest. We have a two years cruise at least be-
fore us. But we are prepared for IT. and 60 cheer
fully to our duty.

character of our crew. We have been here some
weeks. communications with the yard and shore

been intoxicated; and he would have been instantly
discharged did the rules and regulations Of the SER
vice permit. Our ship is SO much of a favorte IN
the service, that there are now more than hhy men

from an East Inda cruise, who would ship on board
the Congress, had we not our complement of men.

moss intertwined with roses, and reposing solid
walls of dahlias. With such wondrous plenty are
these flowers displayed, and SO many strange forms
have they contributed to produce that we may well
wonder why houses are not built with dahlias in

mortar. II these gay flowers did not fade, there

Gxiyaci Of letter from Kentucky, dated

The policy pursued by ths administration on the
Texas question is warmly Approved here. The
people Of Kentucky-at least in this sectioH Of the
State--of all parties, are willing and ready to fight
for Texas TO the Rio del Norte. | have not heard
even wing express any other opinion than that he
was ready and willing to stand by his country in
all and every emergency that may arise out of the
TEXAS question. Indeed, ii is hard, since the pres
dental election s over to find man, in this section
Of the State, who was Not for annexation from the
beginning
War should be avoided by all wise nations; II h
can be done with honor. But am not sure that
brush with Mexico would not be of advantage to
us, az this time
Volunteer Companies are forming, and holding
themselves in readiness IN cSse Of declaration Of
war on the part Of Mexico. At Evansville, la,
10 miles above, two companies are originating
Should war come, the administration and the coun-
try will find Kentucky where she ever has been
doing her whole duty. If Mexico should declare
war, (Which am slow to believe,) she will be driv
TO it by violent internal connections, or influenced
by foreign counsels. She certainly will not be so
suicidal as to declare war, unless driven to It by
intestine commotion, or under the belief and assur-
snce of foreign aid
The Oregon question has not been much spoken
about of late. Texas seems to be the al-absorbing
question at present. But, no fat as am advised
all parties are for asserting claim and holding on to
every acre Of our territory on the Pacific even at
the cafinon,s mouth; and, 30 far as am individually
concerned, would not relinquish an inch Of our
territory, even were II barren and sieri waste that
did not produce blade Of grass, to any power on
earth and that, believe is the feeling Of Kentucky,
and of the whole West The course Of the admin
isration SO far as indicated relative to the Texas
and Oregon questions, must meet the approval Of
every wise and true-hearted patriot.
1t affords me pleasure tn assure you that the pol
icy Of the administration has given entire satisfac-
ton to our friends in southern Kentucky, and has
done much to silence the prudent of the opposition
The popular vote in the last election was most
