GREAT MAIL ROBBERY-ONE HUN
DRIED AND TWENTY THOUSAND DOL
LARS MISSING,

The mail bag despatched from Albany ON
"Wednesday night for New York. is missing,
and has either been stolen or mis-sent, the lat.
ter not unlikely, as 80 mi-eTably managed are
mails sometimes, that we think il nothing
strange to receive the Southern mail via Bos-
ton and New York. The contents of the miss
ing bugs were very valuable. The CONNER
cial Bank OF Albany had enclosed in il drafts
to the amount Of sc, 900. the State Bank Of
Albany 20 ,000-ina all about Sl20,0 200. These
were in all instances, drawn payable To order,
and q forged endorsement will be necessary
before they can be made available to the rob-
bes.
The mail was taken tn New York in the
knickerbocker steamboat. 1t was not i'm
charge OF a mail agent, no such officer being
appointed. except for the mails carried in the
five o'clock boat, which lands at all the river
post Offices. Ii was not missed till near noon
of the 18th.
The boat reached New York at l o'clock i'm
the morning. The mail mus, have been taken
off i'm the interval between the landing and
the arrival Of the porter from the Office. How
accurate this statement may turn out 10 BE-,
we cannot tell, but as il stands. it throws the
responsibility for this affair upon the manage
ment at the other end of the route.

ONE WAY OF DECEIVING PEOPLE

ONE WAY OF DECElVING PEOPLE,
Just previous to the late Presidential election
a large quantity of handbills were prepared by
the Locoioco Central Committee in Georgia,
and scattered broadcast over the State, setting
forth III glowing terms, the advantages which
would accrue to every citizen if, by e~lecting
Polk, they should obtain possession of Texas.
The following is said to be a copy of the rich
scheme presented in these hand bills:
To acquire Texas and distribute her rich
lands to the people.
The proportion of Georgia would be 1921
400 acres.
The proportion Of the Congressional Dis
tricts would be l6l ,I35 acres.
The proportion OF each county would be s..
96S acres.
The proportion of each voter would be $50
acres.
These erich lands" were to be distributed
by lottery" and, of course, every one who
voted forPolk had a chance in the lottery.
OF course the Georgians nave found out
that these promises were but empty ones for
their illusion given" and we question very
much If this discovery did not contribute
much more to the recent loco foco defeat in
Georgia than the Charleston Mercury's cam
dor.-Richmond Times.

LATE FROM TEXAS.

By the fine steamship New York. from Gal
weston, which arrived last evening, we are in pos
session of Galveston papers as late az The 18th
inst,
Count Saisny Minister Of France, and Hon.
A. J. Doncson, U. S. Charge dAiiairs 10 Tex
as, arrived al Galveston on The Isl inst, in The
steamship New York, from this port.
The Civilian Of the Isl inst, has an article in
reference to the various projects now before our
Congress for The annexation of Texas. Speak
ing Of MIR. Benton's proposition, making the as
sent of Mexico necessary TO the contamination
of the measure, fixing the Western boundary OF
Texas between the Nueces and the Rio Grande,
and Limiting the frontier TO the North and prohibit
inc slavery, except in one halfotthe territory TO be
annexed. the Civilian says "These provisions
w,ll never be agreed 10 10y The Southern members,
and il they were, would be rejected BY Texas. =
The same paper speaks of Col. Bentons rcsolu-
lions OF inquiry, submitted 10 the Senate IN re.
ference 10 specializing operations in Texas, and
as 10 the time when the Texas treaty was agreed
upon, and 10 obtain ''the private leuet" from Lon
don, as neither very friendly towards the advo-
Gates OF annexation or TO the measure ITSELF
Tbs News says that If Col. Benton's bill passed
the U. s. Senate, which that paper thinks is like
w. "eyery true Texan will reject il with The Ut
most contempt aud Indignation"
Verbally we learn that large majority OF the
people Of Texas are warmly in favor OF annexa-
lion, and entertain strong hopes that bill to that
effect will pass before our present Congress closes
its session.
We would infer, from the tone of The Texas pa
psrs that the people oftha, country, however much
they desire annexation, would not consent 10 come
INTO the Union upon the terms of Col. Bentos's
bill. They appeared to regard the proposition Of
Col Benton as insulting TO them in 50 lar as ii
implies a claim of Mexico upon the territory of
Texas, or counlenance the idea that they can be
subdued to The Mexican yoke. They likewise
scout the idea OF any terms being imposed upon
them, in respect TO slavery, by the act Of anneSa-
ton. They desire to come into The Union free to
act as they think fiji on all matters of domestic
policy, just as the States OF the Union now are.
