THE FATE OF SANTA ANNA.

From The ". ., PtCdytne Of May IGN
The career o. no prominent man OF
modern times has been so Chequered by
strange aud violent yicissituIes as that OF
Santa Anna. All our readers are more
or less familiar with his history, and II
is unnecessary to recur 10 those incidents
in it which have rendered his lie re
Imarkable-ou day at the summit OF
power, and the next prisoner, with his
lie al the mercies of his enemies. BIta
good subject to speculate upon, is his u-
lure destiny. Four months ago, four to
one would have been moderate odds to
lay that he would be shot, if taken. But
the chances is his favor have been increaS-
ing ever since, and now we suppose ga
sporting man. would give odds that he
gets off with at least a whole skin, if not
with all his immense wealth. We won.
der that we have not heard OF any money
"lald Out" on SO critical an event.
But seriously, Santa Annals fato is a
very interesting subject for consideration.
He has been through so many crises,
where the danger has been imminent and
destruction appeared inevitable, and ye
come out scalheless and actually scared
higher, that we have had aghali supersti
nous notion from the outset Of his late
difficulties that he would "by hook or by
crook" save his neck at last Now rhr
general belief is that he will escape any
other punishment than expatriotlon for a
while to him a nominal punishment
while others are SO sauguine as to pfoph
esy that he will not only be released, bn
called by the Government again to TAX
command Of tho Mexican armies, as the
only man in the country Fit for the pre-

There is no limit to the enthusiasm
Ior the people of Texas in regard % An

State of Texas" prior or subsequent tc
the meeting of Congress, This is d
fertile theme for the several editors To
show the disposition Of the President o.
Texas, we make snort extract from the
Morning Star of the Sd inst, Published a
Houston:
We rejoice to say that we have the most
positive evidence that the President and a
majority OF the members OF his Cabinet
are anxious to act with the utmost har-
mony with the people, ana will ordially
cooperate with them in their efforts to
this great measure at the
earliest pralical period,
The Hon. E Allen, the acting Secreta,
~ Of STATE, arrived at Houston on The
ED uIt. The Telegraph assures us that
he an ardent friend Of Annexation, and
is DESTROYS that "the great measure should
be consummated at the earliest practical
period"
The papers contain ample reports oil
public meetings decIaratiye Of the feel.
ngs Of the people in regard to AnneXa-
ion. There is no occasion TO give these
reports, so nearly unanimous are the ssn-
Ilments of the whole country. The Tex
ms already regard themselves as part
and parcel of the United States, aud,
proud of the Union, are only mPat eat
hat any delays should be lnterposed to
Is completion. Even the papers oppo-
,ed to Annexation but nsinuate heir OBJ
ec,ions; they see that it must take place,
and refrain from any open resstdn nee to
t. If we can Judge from the tone OF the
press, and from verbal commlnIc atlons,
lot all the diplomatic resources OF the
world can sway al all the general mind of
Texas.
The papers have some rumors Of dis,
lh'ection % the Mexican Government in
ome o. her Northern Departments, The
: wish may be father to the thought" in
his case. We have probably as late
,dviceS here as to the movements Of Gen.

know thou hast gone to the home Of rest,
Then why shosld my sosl be so sad
know thou hast gone where the weary are best,
And the mourner looks up and is glad.
Where love has put off in the land Of It's birth
The strains !, hath gathered ia this
And Hope-ihe sweet singer that gaddened the
earth,
Lies asleep on the bosom OF bliss.
know thou has, gone where thy forehead is starr d
With the beauty that dweIt in my soul;
Where the light OF thy loveliness cannot be mared
Nor thy heart be l1ng back from its goal.
know thou hast drunk Of the Lethe that aows,
Through land where they do not forget,
That sheds over memory only repOse,
And takes from it only regret.
Ia thy far away dwelling wherever it be,
| know thou hast visions of mine,
And the love that made all things music TO me,
] have rot yet learned to resign
10 the hush OF the night on the waste Of the sea,
Or alone with the breeze on the hill,
have presence that whispers of thee,
And my spirit lies down and is still
Mine eye must be dask-tbat so long has been dim
Ere again it may gaze upon thine,
But my heart has reveaIings Of thee and thy homo
In maay token and sign
never look up with vow to the sky
But light like thy beauty, is there;
And hear low murmur like thine in reply,
When pour out my spirit in prayer.
And though-like a moutner that sit. by a tomb
| am wrapped in mantle of care,
Yet the grief of my bosom, oh call it not gloom,
Is not the black grief Of despair.
BY sorrow revealed, as the by night,
Far OF bright vision appears
And Hope-like the rainbow, a creature of light
Is born-like the rainbow-from tears
