TEXAS AGAs.-The more recent news from
Texas, places the chances of annexation in a more
favorable light. At Galveston, the news ofthe final
passage Of the Bill for annexation through the
House, was received with a general outburst OF ac-
clamatiou and joy. The Galveston papers say that
President Jones is in favor of Annexation. The
National Register, however, published at the
Capital, is still opposing it upon the terms pro-
posed, with great earnestness. The prospect seems
70 be in favor of acceptance of the terms, although
IL can only be decided after a severe struggle.

Charles Jackson, Esq, Governor elect Of Rhode
Island, who is a genuine Wing, has caused 10 be
published in the Boston Atlas, a letter explanatory
Of the reasoes that led him to consent to stand as
the Liberation candidate for Governor, in opposition
to Gov. Fenner. He says, the Dorrite party have
acknowledged in unqualified terms, the validity OF
the existing Constitution, and its binding force,
and that therefore there is no longer any contest
of principle between the Law and Order party and
the Dorrite party that the continued imPrison-
ment Of Dorr, would keep up this nominal division
Of parties, to the injury of the Wing party, which
has nominalIy been deiuhct in Rhode Island, fol
more than a year. The liberation of Dorr, he says
will quiet the State, disband his party, and that
then, parties would return to their natural divisions
Of Wing and Loco.

Disaster on the North River.

The passengersin the stage from Troy who urriv-
ed on Wednesday, brought a report that the steam
boat Swallow, which lett Albany on Monday eve
ming for N. York, struck the rocks at Athens, oppo-
site Hudson, and broke entirely in two, and that the
bow went to the bottom, carrying with it many
passengers, while the stern was left upon the rocks.
The report is, that there were 200 passengers, and
that many Of them are lost. We hope the report is
unfounded in fact, but fear that it is TOO true.

""H".".
We beg leave to call the atten
ton of City Merchants, especially
those of the city of New York, to
the advantages which our columns
offer as a medium of advertising.
We have a larger circulation than
any political paper published in
the State south of Burlington and
Montpelier. In addition to a very
liberal circulation which we have
in every part of our own county,
our paper circulates freely in the
south part of Windsor County, in
part Of Rutland and Bennington
Counties, in South Western New
Hampshire, and in various towns
in Western Massachusetts,. With
in the sphere of our circulation,
there are very few merchants who
are not our constant readers and
subscribers. With extensive
means of information, we can say
with undoubting confidence, that
no region of country in our broad
Union has better endured the
changes and reyerses of the last
ten years, than that portion of the
rich and fertile valley of the Con-
necticut lying in Northern Massa-
f chusetts and Southern Vermont
and New Hampshire. AS a gen
eral characteristic its agricultural
population is thriving and its mer-
chants sound. In our own village
r where there are some twelve or
: fourteen stores, there has been
/ but one mercantile failure in 20
years, and that was induced by a
/, departure from regular mercantile
business. And this is a fair sam
J. pie ofthe business, soundness and
integrity of merchants in this
!: whole region.
e The business of this section ha:
+ heretofore been divided between
New York and Boston 4; but the
$ recently increased and still in
creasing facilities of communica'
ton and transportation between il
and the city of New York, hole
d out a great inducement to the blu.
siness men of New York to make
an earnest effort to extend anG
increase their business in this di
: rection. A railroad has recently
y been completed from Hartford a
as far north as Cabotville. 1t viii
IN be extended the present season t.
Of Northampton, and early the mex
season to Greenfield. Its furthe
st and speedy extension to this plac,
ID and beyond, is not a matter Q
On doubt. This extension has alread,
CHI lessened, very greatly, the time G
or travel between this place and tn
Z, city of New York, and will 500
ms enable our merchants to travers
the entire distance between tn
,st rising and setting of the sun.
= will also greatly lessen the price
as. freight. These considerations,
properly urged, may be the near
,m of turning a large amount of trad
're to New York, that now goes j
,l another direction.
~. We submit then whether it
nat not at the present juncture an oil
he ject, with New York Merchant
me to draw trade from this regiol
All experience bears testimon
.gh that there is no surer way to {
this than by a liberal system
ay, advertising. We offer our co
70 umns as the best means of comml
" nicating with the merchants of
are large section of country. We al
about to enlarge our paper al
ba- make it a still more worthy web
Gle of such communication.

We stop the press to give the news OF this disaster in
tho New York papers of Wednesday morning. In the
midst Of a severe snow storm Of Monday night about 3
o'clock, the Swallow struck a rock near Athens, making
a complete wreck Of the boat in a very short time
The bell Of the boat Immediately sounded to give alarm,
which being heard on shore, prompt assistance was
rendered by boats from that quarter, and by the Steam
boat Rochester, and most of the passengers were saved.
From the confusion-the great number of passengers,
and the numbers that we're taken off in small boats from
the shore, it was difficult to ascertain who among them
were missing. Mr.. S. II. Bridge of this place, and Isaac
Weeks of Bennington, were among the passengers, and
are saved. To add to the terror of tie wreck in a dark
and stormy night, the boat took fire, but it was extin-
Vuished by the efforts of the crew.. The scene las de-
seribed in Mr.. Bridges letter to his wife, was one of
appalling horror, that struck the boldest with fear.
The New York Express, says:
The passengers on the rock were taken in the
small boats to the steamboats,. Many of the pass
engers were obliged to swim from the cabin TO the
deck through the cabin door.-Two ladies attempt
ed to jump upon the rock, and il is feared that one
of them was lost. One young lady threw herself
overheard but was rescued.
MIR Charles A Mann Of Utica had two ladies un-
der his charge, one of whom, Mrs Conklin, could
not be found but it was hoped that she might have
been taken off in some of the small boats.
The number Of passengers, as stated above, II
thought to be about $50, although rumor exagger
stes them TO 400. We shall of course know bette
when a list comes to hand. The baggage hous'
was entirely submerged in wnter. The baggage
will probably be recovered in such a state as nigh
be expected considering its situation. We do no
know what il is thought will become of the boat.
II is not known certainly that any lives are lost
although il is feared there may be. The shortnes
Of the period during which the occurrences abov'
stated took place, did not allow opportunity to as
certain. The passengers were not on the deck O
the Swallow more than three quarters Of an hour.
Il was fortunate that the disaster should have oc
Cured between two places, (which the alarm bell
Of the boat could be heard. Still more fortunat
was il that two steamboats, shou d have been with
in hailing distance to come TO her relief.

M We call the attention Of those Of our readers
who trade in the city of New York, to the adver-
tisement ITO Country Merchants" The fact of
so many merchants and manufacturers advertising
in our columns, is an evidence that they are desi-
rons Of extending their trade in this region, and
this will ensure our merchants a favorable recep-
tsnce. Every one on going to the city should take
one of these advertise ments with him as a guide.

Buffalo, April 3.-TerriGte Flood on Niagara
Riper.-An extraordinary excitement has prevailed
at Queenston and Lewiston for the last three days.
The ice has disappeared from here with great rapid
ity. Such have been its movements over the Nj
sgara Falls, accompanied with a strong north wind
that the Niagara river has been completely blocked
up. The ice there yesterday, within a mile Of the
Falls, was forty feet high. In the rapid course OF
the ice, every thing on The wharves at Queenston
and Lewiston has been swept of, with the contents
of the store houses.
Al Youngstown, il has cleared off every house
near the wharfs, and the steam -four mill has gone
with II, with some eighty barrels of flour and a
large lot OF potash in store there.
The damage, all round, is not far from 100000
