SENATE, April 30.--Mr Speight of Mississippi
moved to take up the following bill:
A bill to aid the state Of Mississippi in the
construction of rail road to the western boun-
dairy of Alabama.
Be IL enacted. &c. Thar whenever the route
for the rail road from JACKSON, through Bran
don, to the western boundary of Alabama, in
the direction OF Montgomery, in said state,
shall be surveyed and established, there shall
be and is hereby granted TO the state of Missis-
appi, alternate sections Of the public land on
each side OF the road, throughout the said route,
from Jackson, through Brandon, to the said
western boundary Of the state of Alabama !;
said grant not to extend beyond FIVE miles on
each side of said road; the sections which are
odd in number being hereby granted to the said
state of Mississippi, and those which are even
IN number being hereby reserved to the Uni
ted States-provided, nevertheless, that said
grant is hereby made on the condition that the

Later from Mexico.

By the arrival of the brig Josephine, captain
Robertson, yesterday, in twelve days from
Vera Cruz, we were placed in possession OF
dates from that city of the 25th April, and
from Mexico to the 10Th. Letters had been re-
ceived at Vera Cruz giving Information OF the
arrival of Gen. Ampudia, and his detachment,
al Matamoros, raising the Mexican army at
that place to near seven thousand men. The
SEINE letters estimate the United States forces
at 1900 men, with 300 cavalry. They also
state that the consul, together with all the citi-
gems of the United States at Matamoros, bad
been ordered to withdraw to the interior, and
were sent, for the present, to Victoria.
The Republican,, OF April 10Th, states that
the Sd regiment Of infantry of the line had
left the capital for Vera Cruz, and that on the
next day the 80 of light infantry would leave
for the same destination.
The departmental assembly of Vera Cruz
have unanimously adopted resolution calling
for the abrogatof of the order for the convo-
cation of constituent congress, and urging
the convocaton of another to be constituted
upon a new basis, one that would establish the
government of the nation upon republican
principles Ell Locomotor, an opposition pa
per, complains bitterly of the mercantile regu-
Iatons in force at Vera Cruz, especially Of the
export duty on specie.
Gorostiza, minister of the treasury, resigned
his place on the 18th "A ril, alleging for cause
that he could not any longer render himself
of the least utility in the cabinet. The presi-
dent ad interim, considering the reason sufh.
cient, accepted the resignation, and the Mex
day appointed Tornel, minister OF foreign al.
fairs, government and police, to be also minis
ter of the treasury. 1t is supposed that Goros
tia strongly predisposed the president to dis
pense with his services in the cabinet by hi
opposition to the government decree agains

The document received by Gov. Brown on
Wednesday last, was request frrm Majo Cen
eral Gaines to forward two or three battallions
to be mustered into service at New Orleans,
and sent to the aid of Gen. Taylor.
Governor Brown did not feel authorized to
comply with this request because he had been
advised by the War Department that Gen. Tay-
lor would make demand if necessary, and the
Governor thinks that Gen. Taylor understands
his position, and having authority from the
War Department that General Taylor will
make call whenever he needs the aid of this
State.
1t is highly probable that the requistion will
be made on the Governor by Gen. Taylor, or
the Secretary of War, and in anticipation of
such call the Governor has ordered the Colo
nels of the various regiments in the State to
have the militia enrolled so that in the event
of draft all will stand on an equality, and he
will be able to supply the demand promptly.
1.-THE demand is made, the regiments will be
required to furnish C. rtan number of men,
and if that number volunteer, no draft will be
necessary. Each company of volunteers will
elect their own officers and when they are
formed into regiments will have the privilege of
selecting their own field officers--VieksbWg

The following good story about member
of Congress from Ohio, and his daily dinner,
we cut from the New York Mirror.
The venerable Gen. H-was for several con-
secutive years returned to Congress, and as the
hotels and boarding houses in Washington city
in those days were all pretty much on par of
rather below par, the members were in the hab-
it of occupying, year after year,the same rooms,
The table Of Gen. H.'s boarding house (Which
was kept by a widow lady who had two daugh-
ters) was regularly furnished with s:ereotyped
dinners, and at one end Of the breakfast table
always appeared broiled mackerel. Gen. Ii.
whose seat was near the fish, had gazed SO fire.
quently upon it, (for it never was touched e1-
cept by the cook that he knew it tall BY

Now, if the distinguished Representative had
any one particular virtue, it was an affec tionate
desire to make every person and every creature
around him happy.
Well, in the course of time Congress adjourn
ed and Sen. H. paid his bill to the widow and
got ready to start for home.-The stage stood
at the door, and then the old gentleman showed
the goodness ofhi heart. He took the widow

ted to the said state for the construction of
said road: provided, however, that the snid
right of way shall not be construed to extend to
a strip of land more than hundred feet wide
on each side Of said road, from the commence
ment to the termination of said route.'
Mr.. Simmons offered an amendment, adding
proviso that the military stores and troops of
the United States should be, when desired,
transported on the road free of charge. The
amendment was at once accepted by Mr..
Speight, and was agreed TO unanimously. A
few verbal amendments were then made, and
Mr.. Yulee having briefly planned the reasons
of his vote in favor of the bill, the bill was re-
ported to the senate, and the amendments hav.
ing been coucurred in, the question was taken
on ordering the bill to be engrossed for third
reading. The yeas and nays having been or.
dered, were yeas %, nays 8.

employed his oppressor, reduced to want, as a
porter, and after deducting the amount Of the
dishonored bill from his wages, when he had
earned the amount of the bill, generously
presented it to the fallen Pharisee. This is an
absolute fact. Every day life teens with such
remarkable transactions and singular reverses

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

We find the subioined alluson to American
differences with Mexico in the Washington
Union of the 9th ult The comments of the
Union are in reply to some harsh structures Of
the Baltimore American respecting the course
of the government touching our Mexican rela-
tons. We hope the official paper means to be
understood as saying that the executive is pre-
pared to act promptly and firmly, and to adopt,
with the sanction of congress, suitable mea-
sures to bring our Mexican misunderstanding
to close. The italics are our own :-Daily
Reformer.
The "American" is not more impatient in
waiting for the presidents course in regard to
Mexico, as it was in asking for the terms upon
which he would negotiute with Great Britain.
We commend it's present forbearance and dis
erection. In both cases, perhaps, the govern
ment may hare Information not in possession Of
the public, and in both cases it may be right to
"leave it to act in its own time" though in both
il is responsible to the country for the proper
conducting of the public affairs. We presume
the administrations has the Mexican case under
its best confederation, and will act in its own
good time, without waiting uron Santa Anna,
or for new revolution, or playing at all thu
part of what Walter Scot calls ga waiter on
Providence"

Interesting Relic of the Revolution
On fine day may be seen occasionally at
the Capitol, or at the public offices, Altamont,
with a basket containing few apples ana
cakes. BY the sale Of such articles, when wen
enough to get out, he ekes out very scan
ty and precarious subsistence. This venerable
negro is in the 92d year of his age, and was
raised in the Washington family. He was a
servant of Captain George Washington, and
was with him at the battles OF the Cowpens
and Guilford Court House, and was present at
the siege Of York and the surrender OF Corn
wallis. After tho death of his master, he be-
cams the property of DR.. Barry of Tennessee,
in whose family he remained until his freedom
was given him as boon for his good conduct.
In the year 1914, having survived his wife
and all his children, he expressed great de-
sire to come back to Virginia, to find some of
his relatives or friends. The family purchased
horse for him, and gave him ample means for
his Journey; but when the poor old fellow
reached the home of his childhood, he was like
the prisoner that had been liberated from the
bastile; there was no one living being that he
knew The sad change that was presented to
his view smote the heart of the old mar, and
he turned from the scene in sorrow and wan
dered to this city, where he has ever since re-
manned.
Altamont has with him the highest testimo-
ny of his worth. Mr.. w. Hall, formerly
member of Congre from the State of Ten
nessee, gives him very high character, and
closes his letter thus: 'If Altamont should have
the misfortune to get in stratened circumstan-
ces after he leaves this part of the world, it is
to be hoped that the generosity of those into
whose society he may fall will prevent him
from suffering
General jackson also gave him certificate
Of good character, which he cherishes with
great pride, aud when he exhibits it, says: Ah
sir, it was game fowl that gave me that; he's
got the blood in himr
This poor old man is now Gin straitened cir
cumstances.' The last severe winter dealt
heavily upon him; but still his pride would not
allow him to make his situation known to
the proper authorities. The object of this is
to call the attention Of the benevolent to his
situation, in order that it may be relieved.

To CURE SHEEP-sKINs WITH THE WOOL on
Take one spoonful of alum, and two of salt
petre; pulverze and mix well together; then
sprinkle the powder on the flesh-sde of the
skin, and lay the two fesh-sdes together with
the wool outside; then fold the skins as tight
as you can, and hang them in cool place In
two or three days as soon as they are dry, take
them down and scrape them with blunt knife
till clean and supple. This completes the pro-
cess, and they make a most excellent saddle
cover. If, when you kill mutton, you treat
your skins in this way, you can get more for
the wool and skin separately, than if dis
posed of otherwise. Other skins which you
desire to cure with the fur on may be treated in
the same way.

A DRAFT.-It is by no means certain that
draft will not be required to supply the quota
of men for this state, asked by Gen. Taylor
viz--two thousand The proper persons are
actively engaged, as will be seen by militia
order in this paper, in making lists of all who
are subject to military duty in this city, and it
is the determination Of the commander in chief
to resort to draft if the work of volunteering
progresses no faster to-day and Tomorrow than
it did yesterday. The Governor thinks yet,
however, that the necessity of resorting to this
compulsory mode Of raising the very small num-
Der Of men required from Louisiana, any thing
sbut:creaitableto the state in the present emer-
gencyymay be avoided, and that with a little
msre ardor and patriotic feeling among the
yosng men Of New orleaps, he can, with such
additions as will come in from the interior,
complete the four regiments by voluntary in
listments. We understand that, in case of a
draft, those who bring substitutes now, will not
be placed on the list for draft.
