 A good deal of anxiety is fell in thus city m re- gard to the steamer Telegraph, Captain Pennoyer, which left Char eslon on the l6th inst for New-Or- leans via Key West. She has been out IS days, and Iidings have been received of her since her departure from Charleston The rumor in the New Orleans papers of arrival aI this port of schoo- ner giving information of her loss on the Bahama Banks, is Il mistake. steamship was reported ashore the Florida Reef the 20th ult., but no- thing was known of her name or destination. IL might have been and probably was the Telegraph though there nothing certain about it.
 The Telegraph steamer from New York, intended as a packet between New-OrIeans and Galveston. Among the passengers the sociaIe editor of this paper, $. F. Wilson, Esq - Our friends of the NewOiIeans press will greatly obllge us by forwarding any information they may become possessed of in relation 10 this subject. The address of Senator Baghy 10 the people of this State Tn reply to the assaults that have been made upon him on account of hs course upon the Texas question, was given in extenso in our paper of yesterday. It is frank, ingenious and manly, setting forth with cearness and perspicuitr his diff faculties, motives and objects. It releraes most of the arguments contained in his letter which ap- peared time since in the Huntsville Demo- crat, Ndding of therso much force and cogency. It sustans the grounds of the defence which ven. | tured to undertake in his behalf some weeks since, and supports to the letter the facts we present. ed, and which caviled and discrediled al the time because they could not be answered.
 IL ,I.. correct one two of fact that are found in communication in lhe last Huntsville Democrat, un- der the signature of"An Observer" After denoun- cing the course of Mir. Bagby, the writer proceeds | to remark
 "I is however said in his (Mr. B's) defence. that he made that celebrated speech in order force tan democrats 10 add the house resolutions Mir. BenIon's bill by way ol amendment. This is an in- correct statement of the facts they well derstood ihe tune. For fwo or three days betorc lM. Bag6y made his speech, the dsmoe1 members had agreed 10 lake Mr. Benton's amendment and add II 10 e jont resolutions n hs shape Il appears | he dct."
 We have copied this paragraph for the purpose ol opposing 10 the latter parl of direct and perempo- " contradiction; and we chaange the production oi respectable testimony to sustain it. We profess to have some knowledge on this subject, and we have wha, consider the very highest authority for stat. ing that it not until atfer the delive,y ot Mr Bagby's speech that the democratic members of the Senate presented an undivided front in lavoi of the proposed amendment.
 If there were any foundation for this statement o "An Ohserver," why, it may be asked, has the mighty secret been kept back 10 ihs late day? IL | has been asserted from the commencement of the controversy respecting Mr. Bagby's course, that the object Of his speech was to bring refractory Senators upon common ground, and thus save the great measure of annexation ;-and no man has hhelt to been found brazen enough to contradict it. Even now il comes to us in the questionable shape of an anonymous communication, and at time and with an object that would dscredit il, had we nothing else 10 rely upon establish the facts of the case.
 There Is another paragraph in this communication which we notice for he purpose of showing how light the claims of thIs writer are to any consideration He says that MT. Bagby's "sole effort of two hours was U denounce plan which majority in the House Of Representatives had perfected, and which d large majority Of he Senate in tavor Of.''
 To suppose that there is school boy in ike State 80 ignorant of public affairs as to be led astray by this declaration, would be an ilberal assumption.- Every body except "An Obseryer,'' knows that this "pan," which he us large majority of the Senate were in favor of" divided the Senate so equally that uOte would have turned the scale One solitary vote less and Texas would have been ost,-and yet writer ignorant of fact familiar every man, woman and child in the State, sets hiln- selfup to instruct the members of lhe Legislature ups on grave matter of public interest. The presump- ton of some of philosophers is positively re- freshing.
