THE WOOSTER BANK.

Some Of our republican brethren in Ohio are still
harping upon the Bank of Wooster We can have no
objection, we sure to these attacks, we have
not the slightest interest in this institutionn fact,
were not aware of its existence, until we reached
Washington The accounts which we have since
heard of IL, from gentlemen of character, who pro-
fess to be acquainted with its political transactions,
are by no means calculated to make favorable i'm
preston Of the manner in which it has been con-
Quoted. Oft pecuniary condition we know nothing
certain. But some Of these papers have done some
injustice to the Secretary Of the Treasury. He
intended bolster up the credit or character
Of that institution. He determined to act right upon
that occasion. He means 10 act right now.
A small deposite Of $4,000 was made by the
Treasury Department, short time since, with
that institution; the same amount of Ohio State
stock being eft in the actual possession Of the
Treasurer Of the United States as security. There
was no selection made Of this bank as a permanent
depository; but this sum placed with it, above
stated, growing out Of supposed embarrassments Of
other repositories, and the presumed necessity of
immediate action 1t now turns out that no such
embarrassments existed--that the reports on that
subject were erroneous. II seems, also, that (al-
though it was wholly unknown to the Treasury
Department. feud existed in Ohio in regard to the
Wooster Bank, and, under all these circumstances,
the Secretary has determined, at early period, to
Withdraw the money temporarily deposited with that
bank

For the information Of the numerous gallant cti-
zens who will wish to avail themselves OF appoint
mens in the army, in expectation of rupture with
Mexico, we deem il proper to state, what we have
learned from the War Department, that the present
military establishment can in no event be increased
Without the previous legislation Of Congress; and, oil
course, there will be no such appointments to be
made until first authorized by law. The militia
only can be called out in aid OF the regular army,
as now by law established.
There are now attached TO the army many super
numerary graduates of the Military Academy, ht
for the most active and importont service.

We are happy to notice the signs of patriotism
and chivary which have been excited throughout
war; The gallant officers of our army and navy,
eager for distinction in honest cause, literally
inundating the departments with their praseworthy
applications for active service; while the people pre-
sent an almost undivided front against the menacing
attitude assumed by Mexico. Whole companies Of
citizens, we understand, have volunteered their aid
in any efforts which the government may assign
them in the event Of hostiites; and, should gene

We have no late intelligence from the convention.
Rumor says that the President has left Washington
for Austin having been invited to do 80 by the con-
vention, who wish to get his consent to change our
form Of government Immediately. The manner in
which it is proposed to do this, is not known. l
do not believe, myself that President Jones will
consent to any such measure. His friends here,
generally, are of the same opinion. | have every
reason to believe that Major Doneson so far as he
is concerned, would decidedly dsapprovc Of such a
move. l do not believe, however, that anything
can, by possibility, be done to defeat annexation,
The people determined upon il, and il 10 TO be
hoped that preciptae action the part Of those
delegated to act for them will throw difficulties in
its way; and am satisfied, in my own mind, that
President Jones will do all in his power 70 carry out
the expressed wishes Of the people. He will do it
IN proper season, and in proper way; and have
no doubt but he will, in all matters, show himself
worthy of the high confidence of the people Of
Texas.

before yesterday, from Arkansas bay, where he had

UNITED STATES STOCK.

1t has been suggested to us to give, periodically,
in the "Unon," the prices Of the government stocks
at three Of the principal cities of the Union--New
York, Boston, and Philadelphia. The actual trans
actions in them reported in the money articles Of
the newspapers. The main thing to distinguish is
between cash sales and time bargains The friend
who makes this suggestion encloses us form, in
slips from the New York and Philadelphia papers,
which he thinks well adapted to the purpose.
The reader will see, from the following exhibit of
the New York market, that there is one cash sale,
and four on time; and at Philadelphia there does not
appear to have been any sale. We have no Boston
newspaper, to if there has been any sale there.
The cash sale at New York was per cent. stock,
payable in 1853, at 1881; and the time sales, per
cent stock, payable in 1862, at no. on 6, and IL
months time.
We adopt his suggestion at once, and will make
arrangements to carry it out In fact, we are only
at the commencement of the "Union." Various inn
provements will strike our attention as we advance,
which we will attempt as our time, means, and
agents suffice, to carry into execution. "We live
to learn" We 60 on, only, we hope, to improve
the character Of the '.Union:"

We have received the Galveston News Of the

arrived at Galveston on the 7th from Corpus Chris

where they are comfortably situated. Their Ill

termined upon. The Falmouth was daily ex-
pected in the Gulf. Speaking Of the Mexican cleo
tons, which took place the LIST instant the News
says:
"The result of the contest for the presidency Of
Mexico, between Herrera and Gomez Farias, which
was to take place on the lst instant, will be looked
for with considerable interest. Herrera is said to
be in favor Of centrasm, and Farias has the full
confidence of the liberal party. He advocates the
restoration Of the constitution of 1924 II is said
his prospects of success far the most favorable.
Possibly his election may give to Mexico period
Of comparative repose from the oppression and an
archy ola succession of civil revolutions.

teligencer of the Cd instant mentions the receipt of
intelligence that the dragons which were ordered
into Texas rendezvoused near Nacogdoches, waiting
for wagons and supplies; and that while there, they
were ordered TO proceed Immediately to Austin by
forced marches. Much excitement, says the Intel
ligencer, was caused in Harrison county by the
movement, as the orders were not accompanied with
any assigned cause !; and many feared that the Gu
manches might have threatened descent upon that
city while the convention session. to capture
the members. The orders for the engagement of
wagons, etc, were countermanded and the troops at
once put in motion for Austin.
By the subjoined notice from the Mobile Herald

for the port Of Mobile has also closed his office.
