Since our last nothing Of Importance
has been transacted at Washington City.
Tie bill for the reduction Of postage
tn, oughou, the Uniled States was under
discussion in the Senate. The bill! for the
of the Oregon Territory has
passed the House of Representatives.
What action the Senate will take upon
the Joint resolutions for the annexation OF
Texas sent to shat body from the House
of Representatives we are unable to say
We hope though for the best.
From the Richmond Enquirer we clip
the following paragraph:
Cheering from Washington.--Our letters from
W ashington by the last two mails are very cheer
ing. Our correspondents seem to speak with
much confidence of the Texas Resolutions passing
the Senate. We fear the course which the Viz
GINA Senators are to pursue. Mr.. Archer II Il
said. is to make voumnous Report against th'
Resolutions, and Mr.. Rives is to speak against thu
cnnstitutonality of this mode of acquiring Texas !!
Surely our Wing friends Of the House of Dele
gates will not provide him this hole, from which
escape. But we forbear. Heaven knows .vit
what pleasure we would see him nobly marching
up 10 discharge his duties to Virginia-or to Sc
our Legislature advancing boldly. directly nethe
turning to the right hand nor to the left to tn
great object which every patriot in Virginia oush
to have in view.
It Civ US pleasure to add, that among the high
minded Wings in Congress, the cause Of annexs
ton is gaining ground. No State viii; honor ther
more than Virginia will.

FROM WASHINGTON.


The Senate was engaged to-day principally
on private bills. Mr.. Foster of Tennessee intro
duced a joint resolution for the admission o.
Texas as a State into the Union. He made
some remarks in which he avowed himself fully
in favor Of annexation, and held himself uncom.
mitted as TO the best form by which 10 do it,
Though he submitted the proposition, he had
his doubts as TO what would be the best FORM
The resolution was referred TO the Committee
on Foreign Relations. The Senate spent a short
time in executive session, aud confirmed several
appointments of minor Importance
The debate on the Texas question was con-
tinued in the House TO day--Mossrs. Tibbats Of
Kentucky, and Chappell of Georgia, having ad-
dressed the committee in favor of the measure,
and MIR. Brinkerhoff of Ohio against it. Previ-

House establishing a uniform time for holding
the election for electors of President and Vice
President in all the States in the Union. The

mex: after the first Monday of November as the
day on which to hold the election. Several 9th
er bills of less importance were passed. The
postage bill was made the order of the day fol
Monday next. The Senate, after spending some
time in the consideration of executive business,
ad~journed over till Monday next, to enable the
committees to attend TO the business before
them.
The first business in the House this morning,
was the introduction of "a resolution by Mr.. Pres
ton King for the appointment of select commit

MEXICAN NEWS.

We have some further news from Mexico, by
the Ohio Statesman, which, however, does no
appear to be much later than what we published
last week. The intelligence now received is
of u more positive character, and confirms the
former. Santa Anna is undoubtedly, before this
time, either numbered among the dead, or is an
exile from the country which he has ruled SO
long with a rod of iron. The revolution has
been bloodIess, nearly, so far-a revolution from
the force of public opinion. The new govern,
ment has not yet had time to develope its policy
towards the United States, Senior Rejon, Santa
Annals Minister of Foreign affairs, has fled from
tive country; and it may be that the new autholi-
will adopt an entire different coure, What
would our wing sympathisers for the poor, insult
ed Mexicans say, should Mexico consent to the
annexation of Texas to the United Srates?

For the Cadis Senttne
Mourn, Mourn, yc Wings !

Come, dropping Wings, your grief declare,
With groans and bitter woe;
In s;ghs and teas of deep despair,
Loment your overthrow.
Your great arch-chiof of Whiggery's beat,
Your prospects all are fled;
Let nature mourn at your defeat,
And willows crown your head.
Mourn, man and woman, girl and boy,
In sacEcloth deeply mourn;
Strike your black fags-Ash poles destroy,
And them to ashes burn.
Noun, goose and gander, cock and hen
Dogs howl-cats new and cry;
Weep, blushing maids-but sierner men
Raise lamentations high.
Bankers! Blnkrupts! your tears prolong,
PROSTATE your prospects lie;
No more, ye Whigllngs, raise your songs
No more your voices ply.
Oh! what will spectators do
Their chieftain is no more?
What plan will gamblers now pursue?--
Their case let all deplore.
Buckeye to Cypress must give way
The coon must hide its head;
Ruin will seize the land, since Clay
Is numbered with the dead!
Commerce will from the seas retire
The lakes desert prove;
Manufactures be burnt with fire.
Canal boats cease 10 move!
The locomotive railroad train,
Won't power of steam obey,
And ducks and hens, though filled with grain
Their eggs no more will lay!
The cultured land no wheat will yield;
No grass will meadows grow;
No waving corn will deck the field,
Since Clay's sad overthrow!
No one will dare the focks to shear,
For sheep will bite like Nick!
No milk-maid will a COW 60 near,
For fear she'll get kick!
But worst of all-oh, grief! alb, woe!
No Bank will rear its head;
For "humbug'' gold, their direst foe,
Will take Bank paper's stead.
And putrid silver through the land,
The minis in showers will pour
The V and x from hand TO hand,
Will pass intrust lie more.
The nabob's looms in silence rest,
His spinning jenny cease;
Rich brokers, too, will be distress'd-
They'll have no one to fleece.
"Ohl NATIVES, save, for greats our grief,.--
Great il our nraeent faars.
Our wives are w~eeping--send relief
Our daughters are III tears !"

$4,000 in their notes, the Treasurer to return
State stock to the company to the same amount,
&c. Carried.
Mr.. Van Worries moved to amend the third

Mr.. Barrere moved to strike out the word fire,
in the same section, and insert sir, SO as to give
the 9th district banking capital to the amount Of
SIX hundred thousand dollars.
MIR. Kelley of Franklin, thought we were set
ting our coulter too deep. The amount of CAPT
tai authorized to that district, he thought sufii-
cient.
Mr.. Barrere cared but little about the amend
mcnt. He made the motion at the instance of
others.
The question was then taken and carried
IA members rising in its favor, and but 10
against it.
Mr., Powell said if the chairman of the Fl
nance committee (Mr. Kelley of franklin

strike out the work "fve,'' in the third section,
and insert "six," so as to give six instead of five
banks to the 9th district. Agreedto

" fom," and insert the word ",fre," so as to
give the second district five banks, instead Of
four. Carried.
