Correspondence of the Charleston Courier
WASHINGTON. FEB T.

w YIN, i {.
This being the last day but one. for
the Oregon debate in the House, great
anxiety was shown to obtain the floor.
Among those who spoke, were Mr..
Simms, MIR. Burt, and Mr., Woodward,
of S. c.. all of whom were in favor OF
a notice sub mode; that is to say, they
would accompany the notice with an
offer 10 compromise on the 49th parallel
oflati,udc. Mr.. Black is the only men,
Der from S. c., who goes the notice IN
an absolute and unqualified form.
About TWO o'clock today, the Prcsi-
dents Message communicating the re-
cent Oregon correspondence was brought
to the House. The Message was i'm
mediately read: and was received with
breathless attention.
II impressed almost every one with
the belief that the question was rapidly
coming 10 crisis, and to hostile one.
Both parties assume that negotiation
is at an arbitration is rejected
and what remains but war, or backing
out on the part Of Great Britain.
The first letter is one from Mr.. Bu-
ehanan, dated 18th Dec, le45, TO Mr..
M'Lane, requesting him TO ask the
cause of Great Britain's military prepa-
rations. Mr.. MsLane replies, after a
conference with Lord Aberdeen, that
Lord A. informed Kim that Great Bri-
tain could not overlook the possibility
that the controversy with the United
States would terminate unfavorably, and
i'll that case, the preparations would be
very useful and important. But the
preparations had in view general OBJ
jects, and were commenced before the
controversy with the United States be-
came serious. Mr.. M'Lane gives, as
his own opinion, that portion of the
preparations were of kind that was
exactly suited to the purpose of a war
with the United States, and he suggests
that Great Britain will, in case Of war,
act promptly and vigorously, and throw
out her whole strength at once, with a
view to bring the war to a conclusion
at once.
On the Goth Dec, 1s45, MI. Paken-
ham offered an arbitration, with view
to an equitable partition of the. territory.
This was rejected, and the British Mini
ster was reminded that the U. S. had
claimed the whole territory, and that
the proposition would seem to imply
that the U. S. had no title to the whole
territory.
On the 10th January, 1916, Mr.. Pa
kenham offered to submit to arbitration
the question of title; with a provision
that if it should be decided, that neither
party had title to the whole of Oregon,
then the arbitrators should decide upon
an equitable mode of partition.
This was rejected. The President
took the ground, finally, that territorial
rights, so important to the U. S., could
not be put beyond the control of the u.
States. :.
So, there is an end to one more chap.
ter in this history. 1t brings US near to
an end, either amicable or otherwise
for Mr.. Pakenham assumes that the
question must be settled, and urges a
settlement before public opinion, in either
country, should become more irritated
in regard to it.
The House will now 60 on.

by two others, who were acting in the
capacity of drirers. We have not been
able to learn, fully, the particulars OF
this sad affair, but understand that their
deaths were caused by severe chas,ise-
ment for inattention to business. The
murdercrs have been committed to Jail,
and will soon be put upon trial, when all
the facts in connection with it will be
developed.

REMovAL.-The agony is over, and
the State House by act of the Legisla-
ture located at Montgomery on the 10th
ballot. Sixty-eight votes were given
for that point. After it is moved it will
be but little nearer the centre than it now
is. So far as the convenience Of this
country is concerned it would be better
to let it remain where it is than TO go to
Montgomery. There were eight points
in Observation-Disclosures. Wetumka,
Mobile, Montgomery, ,Statesville, Marion,
Huntsville, and Selma. The highest
vote for Tuscaloosa was 43, the highest
for Welampka was 81, the highest for
Mobile 9, for Statesville 2. for Marion z,
for Huntsville 6, the highest for Selma
IL, and the highest for Montgomery 6a
which was majority Of all the votes
cast. We were greatly disappointed in
the strength Of Selma. Her location
entitled her TO more votes But Major
Frow takes it cody, for in his last he
very gravely says, the prosperity Of
Selma does depend upon the location of
the State House. How long since that
discovery was made, Major2 s

Santa Ana and Me1ico.-It appears,
from the recent intelligence received
from Havana, that there is a very grea.
probability SANTA ANA will return 10
Mexico and assume once more the reigns
of Government. This may or may not
be true; but one thing is certain, he is
the only Mexican capable OF ruling ,ha,
distracted country. His star has not
yet gone down, but is destined to shine
forth again upon his unhappy Mexico,
and dispelI, per chance, for a while, the
dark clouds that have settled so thick
upon her. 1t is melancholy to refec,
upon the present condition Of this truly
beautiful country, torn to pieces as she
is, by intestine ieuds and civil wars--a
country which, under the benign influ.
ence OF peace and civilization might be
made almost an Eden.
BY the latest dates from this country,
we learn that Yucatan has declared
herself independent and no longer un-
der obligations to the National Govern
ment The country is still in state of
anarchy and confusion, and it is said
ARIsTA is the most hostile of the leaders
TO the United States, and upon the event
of his defeating PAREDEs, will attempt
the subjugation of Texas.

its settlement should deliberate long
upon it; for the peace of the world, we
may say, is at stake in it: yet, there are
bounds to prudence and deliberation.

been protracted from week to week, and

~ Since writing the above, we have
received intelligence from Washington
(of the passage of the notice, in the
House. by vote of ayes, 1863; nays,
81. The following is the resolution as
passed L.
Resolv'd, By the Senate and House of
Representatives, That the President Of
the United States cause notice to be
given to the government of Grea, Bri.
tain that the Convention between the
United States and Great Britain con.
corning the territory Of Oregon, &c.,
shall be annulled and abrogated twelve
months after giving said notice.
Resolred, That nothing herein con.
tanned is intended to interfere with tho
right and discretion of the proper au.
thorltles to renew or pursue negotiations
Tor an amlcable settlement of the contro.
versy respecting the Oregon territory.
1t is thought the senae will not pass
the notice in this form, but will modify
it. 1t seems that the President, in his
Message, suppressed the opinion Of Lord
ABERDEEN, that the passage of the no.
tice would not be offensive to England,
and since this has licked out, things
have assumed a new aspect, and the
war panic somewhat abated.

The NAuvoo rRouBLEs-The bad feeling which
has again been shown at Nauvoo continues to grow
worse, and the battle is now between the "regula
tors" or mob, and the "new citizens" Of the city.
A letter dated at Nauvoo on the 18th says:
"The prisoners taken by the new citizens on &C
count of the alleged riot of Saturday ast-seventeen
in number--are still in custody. Each party hold
prisoners as hostages; the antics have only five
each demand an exchange. can hardly tell we're
the matter will end now. The comming election, if
passed off quietly, II was thought, would be the end
of the Hancock troubles; but the present state Of
things indicate different results The new citizens
lack concert of action, and their identification with
the Mormors, under the seeming pretence Of pro-
tectng life and property, has created an illfeeling
against them in the county that it will be difficult to
allay. Common cause with the Mormons, made by
the new citizens, can produce no good feeling to-
wards them here"

The last dispatches from the camp state, that Cen

which we're sufficient for the transportation of his
army. The waters Of the Rio Grande, however,
we're high, and the current strong enough to delay

tween Camargo and Monterey, were not estimated
to exceed 300 or 400 men. The supposition now is,
that General Taylor will be able to reach Monterey by
the lst of September Why cannot the "New York

Scott expected to commence his military operations

We clip the preceding paragraph from the "Alex-

distorted our statement which it would have done
better to publish at once, instead Of its own
version. Let the alexandra Gazette" publish our
article along with its own synopsis, ard then its
readers will be able to Judge of the fidelity of its in
depreciation. The fact is, we knew no more Of the
article itself than Chinese in Pekln; and it was
accident alone which prevented our seeing it in the

dria editor is curious to know its author, he will be
informed by the foreman Of our office, and he will
have the pleasure of an introduction to the para
graphist who regrets as much as we do the blum

"Rtpeal is the word" say the wings. "Justice
equalization Of burdens and bene6ts-no repeal, )" is
the countersign of the democrats. One Of the
weapons with which the wings are to attack us is
PANIC. They gave US once "bank panic, and we
are now to have "tarff panic" We advise the
wings to take leaf from the annals Of the "bank
panic" as their guide for "tarif panic" They
will find there the best prescriptions for getting up
a panic secund,un artem. But what did it avail them
in the days of the bank The "man of the iron wl''
defed and defeated the whole machinery. Do the
wings fatter themselves with the idle delusion, that
men with iron nerves are not now to be found in
Congress as well as in the executivei
The people demand fair experiment to be made
of the new revenue law. IF anything be wrong in
the details, then remedy it. If single screw be
loose, then tighten it. They will demand, too, the
truth to counteract all panic and all decisions.
Thanks to Heaven! there are champions enough
field and defend the truth.
But "repeal Is the pord" We most respectfully
ask our democratic as well as wing manufacturing
friends, how they to effect it' The next session
of Congress will consist Of the elements which
passed the late new BILL and even fthey should fail to
defend the law, have we not an executive to stand
by his own princpes' If they look to the next
Congress, for repeal, then we beg leave to remind
them, in the most respectful terms Of the calcutta
ton which was made by representative of Virginia
in the House to-day, upon the next Senate Of the
United States. We have gain of democratic

this accession, repeal be effected We earnest
