New Pst-OmCe Law.

The new Post-Ofiice Law went into operation
on the first instant. Having heretofore asserted
that " The COLUMBIA DEMocnAT" was the only
paper that could be sent FREE of postage to ove-
~ Post-O Office in the County of Columbia, and it
having been denied by the Danvile papers, We
have carefully arranged table of distances from
Bloomsburg and Danville, to the different offices
in the County, by the nearest mail routes. by
which it will he seen, that there are FIVE Post
Offices OVER THIRTY MILES FROM DAN
WILLIE, and NOT ONE FROM BLOOMS
BtJRG.

IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS.
ANNEXATION ACCEPTED.

The Texan Congress has agreed, by
an unanimous voc, 10 the annexation
Resolutions Of our Congress. The news
was brought by the U. S. steam ship
Princeton, which arrived at Annapolis
on Thursday, in nine days from Calves
ton, and with advices from Washington
(Texas, 10 the 2lst OF June.
DR.. Wright,who came in the Prince.
ton asbenrer of dispatches, Immediately
proceeded to Washington, & the follow.
Jug memoranda furnished by him is
published In the Union of Thursday
night.
The United States ship Princeton,
, Commodore Stockton, arrived at Anna.
speis, from Galveston, Texas, after the
ehor, passage of nine days, having con-
sumed only SO tons Of coal. She steam
ed against head winds, with the excep-
ton of only SO hours, when she was
assisted byeher sails, No Atlantic steam
er has evermsde so good an hourly sv-
ersge, with the same economy Of fueli
and, considering all The circumstances,
it may be regarded as an unprecedented
passage.
~sThe news brought by The Princeton
is~of ahe most interesting character.
Both houses ofthe Texan Congress have
unanimously consented 10 the terms ol
the joint resolution Of the United States
lThe Senate had rejected the treaty will,
Mexico by sn1nanimous vote. Capt.
Wsggaman had arrived at Washington
Texas, was 10 select posts 10 be occupi,
ed by The United States troops and 10
provide for their subsistence. A reso.
luton was introduced into both houses
yof Congress requiring the executive TO
surrender all posts. vyyards, barracks,
&c., TO the proper authorities of the
United States. The joint resolutions
were introduced into both houses ol
Congress on the same day, and were al,
most identical IN their tenor. The res.
.olulions passed the Senate on the 18Th
June. and were sent TO the House; the
House laid them on the table, and pass.
ed their own resolutions unanimously
and sent them TO The Senate on the mex,
day. 10 the mean time, considerable
jealousy arose as 10 which branch should
claim the honor Of the paternity of the
resolutions; aud it was finally settled
that the House should take up The reso.
lulions of the Senate, and amend them
in the third section. The House then
passed them in their present form, and
sent them back to the Senate, which
body concurred in the amendment.

We cannot close this hasty, and rather grave and
argumentative, notice Of the extraordinary libel in
the sLondon Times" without stating an anecdote
connected with the fate of the Missouri, which we
derive from the highest authority. speaks no.
bly, Of the conduct Of colored man, who is now
deservedly favorite in our navy, and goes so far
to contradict the violent prejudces Of the "London
Times" against the relations Of the white and the
coored man, and is so direct opposite to the i'm
aginary slaye-shackles of the London Munchausens,
that we cannot consent to withhold it from our
readers:
"When the Inflated Missouri was discovered to
be on fire. in the bay Of Gibraltar, many Of her Of
fcers were on shore. They returned with all pos
sible despatch. Both officers and crew drew praises
from the British officers present. by the COOL steady,
and strenuous exertions which they made to save
the noble ship. An incident has been mentioned,
showing the fidelity and intrepidity Of one Of the
crew, a black man. who waited on the purser Of the
ship. When all hope Of arresting the flames had
been given up, and the explosion OF the magazine
was looked for every moment, the order was given
for all hands to take to the boats, and leave the
wreck. This black man obeyed 1t; and, when a
short distance from the ship he felt terrible appre-
hension that the purser still on board. He beg
ged the coxswain to pull back, and let him look for
the officer who had always been to him a kind
friend. 1t was believed to be hopeless as to the OBJ
ject of his search, and likely to be attended with
certain destruction to the boats-crew, and his re-
quest WINS denied. He sprang overheard, swan to
the burning ship, climbed on board, searched the
ship, found that the purser was not there, again
jumped overheard, and swan to a boat, and was
picked up in safety"
