FLORIDA.

From the st Augustine News, July 49,
BY this mornings mail, We received letters from
Tallahassee, from which we extract the following
on dts:
The Hon. ID. Levy left there for Washington on
the 9th instant.
Il is thought that Thos. Douglass, esq, will be
the Judge for the eastern district Of Florida.
l.. w. Smith, esq, is spoken of as judge for the
southern district Col Geo. Hawkins as Judge of
the western district; and several named suita-
bic for the middle, though no one is settled upon.
Caraway Smith, esq, is spoken Of IA solicitor for
the western district; Il. J. Heir esq., for the mid
die, and Felix Livingston, esq, for the east.
VIM. II. Brockenbrough, esq, il is supposed,
will he elected attorney general Of the State,
~ r. Bcmis, Or the treasury.
These names appear the most prominent for the
several Offices; but none are as yet elected. Our
correspondent says:
There are many applicants for different Offices.
Who will hl them, IL uncertain. You will hear IN
time no doubt. | think good selections will be
made, however. The assembly has been until yes
tcrdsy awaiting the action OF their committees. A
number Of bills were that day introduced. Among
the most important that TO rnise rerenue for
the first fiscal year. The general outlines Of the
bill are good, though the estimate think too large
AL 500. ] hold on 20 the 5000 estimate, and
am of opinion that, with economy in the admins
traiion Of affairs, our government be carried on
with that amount. II comes up for action on its
second reading tomorrow, when we may expect
warm work IN debate. The other bills in the House
ore those creating and regulating the Office If compt
roller and secretary ofsaie. Several bills will be intro
duoed today for the action Of the house-among the
number one for the formation Of the judicial districts,
ard other matters relating thereto. In the Senate,
a biu has been introduced for taking the census.
So yeu ere the two houses are now IN successful
operation, Organizing the government. In ten days
more, think we viii be ready TO start for home.

OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION OF ANNExAroN-ln
another column will be found the official confrma-
ton of annexation, by the unanimous consent ofthe
Texan Congress. Thus is measure consumma-
ted which will add more to the durability, strength,
and perpetuity of our Union, than any that has oc-
Cured since the purchase ofLouisana. This great
measure presents an unanswerabe argument against
the hypochondrinca individuals who see cheering
ray in the future, but always prophesying of an
archy and disunion. For here is nation which
had won and maintained its independence by it's
vaor, which had taken its rank as one of the pow
of the earth, and which had the natural resour
ces and elements of becoming powerful nation,
knocking at our doors for admission, and admitted
into the family Of nations that constitute our glo-
rous Union. How, then, can there be any danger
of the dissolution Of the Union? Does not this fact
show that, if any State were out, she would imme-
diately make application TO be admitted into the
Unioni Therefore, there surely cannot be any dan
ger that State, being in will ever desire to 60 out.
Let our government be justlet it eschew all partial
legislation, and Union will continue happy, free,
and independent, to the end Of time. We never had
any misgivings that score, and now we are frmer
in the faith than ever.-JMissourian, July IA.

We recommend TO the perusal ofour readers thu
address OF the Hon. James Shields, which is to bt
found on our first pnge. Address delivered on lay

Of conciseness, TO an extent that we have not fire.
quenty found in the many other dissertations upor
the same subject that have recently appeared. In
deed, il is necessarily difficult for discourse to bt
brief, that concerns the memory OF ono about whom
history has much TO record. Judge Shields
however, has fully avoided the fault Of vouminous
ness by prohibiting himself from dwelling too long
on any topic, or wearing threadbare any single
thought. Hence his eulogum, though brief, en-
braces the whole life of Jackson, from the time
when 'his fearless spirit was cast in the fiery fur
mace Of the revolution" to that when "his spirit
passed to the skies and his fame became the inherit
ance of his countrymen." II is also graphic and
forcible and throughout extremely spirited. "
short, il is in every way n worthy tribute from Q
man ofthe West to its hero Pennsylrdnia''.

that body, declared their unwlingness TO go into
the matter. Il is thought that some law for tempo
rary purposes will be enacted.
"The excitement growing out of the election of
senators, has somewhat subsidized. The election OF
Mr. Westoott has opened upon the wings like
thunderbolt. They did not dream that such would
have been the case, though they all say they ex-
pected evyseection. am Of the opinion that the
democracy will be satisfied with the choice, and that
Mr. Westcou will do honor to himself and the coun-
try, as we well know Mr.. Levy has already, and
will continue to do.

knowledge, that Mr. Levy would not take sides
with the candidates, but remain neutral 10 all
Many Of his eastern friends endeavored TO procure
an expression of opinion from him, but could no,
succeed. Walker Anderson, esq, has behaved
very manly in the matter. He was here during the
whole excitement, but never interfered and when
defeated, he expressed himself perfectly satisfied
and left here last Saturday evening for Pensacola, in
good humor with the world.
at is rumored that Florida will be divided into
two districts, and that Judge Bronson and William
II. Brockenbrough, esq, will be the federal judges.
This is but rumor; and ! only mention it as
such 'Yours &c.

letter from Taos, New Mexico, of May 10. The
writer says:
"Snce last wrote to you, Martinez the late gov
ernor sent by Santa Ana to plumber New Mexico,
has been removed from office by the new central
administration, and has departed with one hundred
thousand dollars in his pockets, the proceeds of
single year of extoroD. Jose Charves, citizen at
New Mexico, clever and plausible man, is his
successor. Charves is himself friend of annexa-
ton to the United States, and such is the gem
eral feeling amongst the wealthy and influential citi-
zens as has heretofore been the with the gen.
eral population.
"The writer says that the cattle trade has been
entirely destroyed by the Indians, that few intel
ligent Americans would rouse the inhabitants,
and that the gold digging this season in the neigh
borhood of Santa Fe has yielded 10000 Of grains,
some Jumps Of pure metal having equalled $500 in
value"

II is good sign that both sections of the demo-
cratic party Of St Louis, the hard and the sQ have
united upon the same ticket for the six members of
the State convention, (for amending the State con-
stItution.) For example: Messrs. Trusen Polk,
John S. Watson, Miron Leslie, b. B. Edmonson,
George Mead, and Frederick A. Wise, are put
forth under the st. Louis head, both of "The Repor-
teri and "The Daily Missourian," as the "dem-
oerac ticket" This is arrayed against the ticket
OF the wings and the natives May we not hail this
as the cheering sign Of general reunion Of the
democratic party in Missouri
In fact, this selection was made by the whole
democratic party Of St. Louis, at a late general
meeting OF the party. The Reporter represents
thatthe democrats Of the city and county are again
united, and it says, in wise and commendabc
spirit
so far the two branches Of the party have been con.
cerned let bygones be bygonc and the future let rs

majority, and in defence Of the pure principles Of our
