The Hon. ROBERT J. WALKER.-We publish
to-day letter from the Hon. Robert J. Walker, in
relation to matter which has recently been the
subject of much discussion and angry feeling in
Mississippi viz: the alleged suppression by him,
last March, of the commission for the Hon. Jacob
Thompson, as United States senator from, that
State. Although the difficulty at one time assumed
very serious aspect, and began TO attract general
attention, VIC refraned from advcrting to It then,
because no allusion had been made to it here, and
because felt perfectly assured that at the proper
time, Mr. Walker would be able to vindicate his
conduct from the aspersions which had been thrown
upon tin some instances, even by his political
friends Our expectations in this regard have been
more than realized. Nothing can be more clear and
conclusive than his plain statement of facts show
ing not merely the bameessness, but the propriety
Of the course he adopted
To meet an anticipated contins tacy, and for no
other reason, did Governor Brown reluctantly con-
sent to appoint successor TO Mr.. Walker in the
United States Senate. The commission was placed
in Mr.. Walkers hands, with special directions re-
gurdng it, The contingency referred to nerer ar.
rired; and there are few who will not subscribe to
the opinion, that, under the peculiar circumstances
of the case, which fully detailed in the letter.
MIR. Walker was bound, in duty and propriety, to
take the course he did. Notwithstanding the diver
sity of opinion which existed in Mississippi regard.
ing the agency of Mr.. Walker in the matter, we
learn that his statement has given entire satisfaction
there; and that now, all in regarding his mo-
tives and conduct as worthy of unqualified praise
The 'Mississippian" apologies for its hasty cen.
of Mr.. Walker, and expresses its regret that
was not in its power to make plain statement
of the facts, when the subject first attracted the at
tention of the people. Governor Brown has also
published statement in relation to the matter,
which comedies, in every important particular, with
that OF Mr.. Walker. In proof of this we make the
subjoned extract, which corroborates, in the most
direct manner, the statements of Mr.. Walker in re-
gard to the main question in dispute, viz: what were
the circumstances under which the appointment was
made' The governor says:
"The question has been propounded, Why was
the appointment made in such hastel II was made
under an mpresson-induced partly by my own
knowledge Of affairs at Washington, and partly by
the representations of Mr.. Walker-that an ener.
gency pold ert, at the executive session of The Senate
requiring the presence ofur Walkers successor This
anticipated emergency, am no,p acare, DID NOT
ARISE; but it was not possible for me to foresee
that il would not, at the time the appointment was
made'
We commend the letter to the attentive perusal of
our readers. 1t contains not only very clear and
comprehensive history Of the matter but mastery
vindication of its author from the assaults which
have been made upon his character and conduct.

Texas AND THE UNITED STATEs-We Law before
our readers today, abstract Of the correspond
ence between Mr.. Donelson, the American charge,
and Mr.. Allen, the Texian Minister for Foreign
Affairs, which accompanied the message Of Presi-
dent Jones to the Congress Of Texas on the subject
Of the remuneration of the republic to the confeder
acy. In preparing this abstract, we have endeavor-
ed to present all that is material; indeed we have
omitted little else than what may be called the form
alities of diplomatic communications--and such
matters of recital and recapitulation
sary to parties writing at intervals each other but
in way essential to the reader who has the whole
arrayed before him in order
The correspondence will be read with interest;
and, on the part of the American charge with graft
hcation and approval by all who feel interest in
the success of the great measure Of annexation. All
must acknowledge, whatever may be their views Of
the measure itself, that Mr.. Donelson has met the
responsibilities resting him. the representative
Of the views and interests of the United States in n
manner which does honor to himself, and credit to
his selection the conductor of the important and
delicate duties of his mission Every call for infor
nation on the part OF the Texan authorities is
met by the American charge in that spirit of LIBERAL
ity, directness, candor, and good faith, which was
due TO Texas, not less than to the friendly and right
feeling which has characterized the United States
government, and will, no doubt, continue to mark
its course in reference to the new State Of Texas;
for such II is now destined to be. At the same time,
the opponents of annexation will look in vain,
through this correspondence to find aught on which
to ground the caviog objections which were start
ed in advance of its publication-that inducements
had been held out to Texas, above and beyond the
terms Of the joint resolution Of Congress- and the
authority of the Executive to make. The whole
tenor OF the correspondence shows the reverse-iis
ann being, throughout to impress upon Texas the
importance OF accepting the terms of the Joint reso-
luton OF Congress, without reservation or quafca-
ton, and with perfect reliance on the sense Of JUS
tice and liberay Of the United States Congress to
adjust all matters Of detail (the great measure of an
nexaton being accompiished) in a manner at once
acceptable and honorable to both governments. Mr.
Donelson, whilst urging the proposals Of his gov
eminent with becoming zeal and interest, makes M
pledges inconsistent with the Of the Joint reso
luton, or in any way conflicting with the interests
the duty, or honor Of the United States; nor. we
may add, conflicting with the views Of large ma.
jority Of the American pcople.--.4lbany Argus.

six months. Capt. Tufts gave Capt. Turpin an ex-
cellent misunderstanding known him fifteen years
With Capt Tufts, the examination of witnesses
for the prosecution closed on Saturday.
For the defence, Robert Smith, the mate Of the
Marquette, was called; he stated that the captain
on joining the boat, directed the engineer TO remove
one of the weights attached to the safety-vave, the
effect of which was to lessen the pressure on the
boilers; boat appeared to have less steam than usual
when backing out; knows nothing of the age of the
boilers; he corroborated the statement that when
Captain Turpn stopped the boat he gave orders for
the fire doors and hue caps to be opened, and that
the engineers repeated the order. The engine, he
said, worked off and on all day; witness spoke Of
Hayes the engineer, as competent and attentive
officer and of the captain also attentive and as
being at the time of the explosion in his proper
place on the hurricane deck, seeing that all was
right. We learn for the first time from this wit
nesss testimony, that there four engineers on
board, viz: Hayes, chief; Brown, mot heard Of be-
fore, and believed to be lost) who joined the boat
the day before the explosion as I'd engineer Hazard
and the negro Hannibal The witness having sta ed
that he knew nothing about the wages paid to en-
gineers, Captain Turpin voluntarily slated that
Hayes and Brown (lst and Cd cngneers) were to re-
ceive 500 per month between them, Hazard SIS,
and Hannibal SOS The examination of Smith be-
ing resumed, he stated that he saw Hayes standing
at the starboard engine at the time of the explosion;
that he (witness) could not see the larboard engine,
but understood at the time, that Hannibal, the ne
gro, had charge of the throttle valve, and Hazard
was sitting near by. Witness further stated, that
when all was ready on board to start the "goahead"
bell was rung, the wheels made about half a revolu-
uon, and then the explosion took place; witness
blown INTO the river, and therefore knows further
particulars. George Bryson, the ID steward, was
then called; he corroborated many Of the statements
made by the clerk and mate and, in addition, stated
tner, after me explosion, much water was thrown
into the cabin, extending aft TO the ladies' cabin he
