ANNEXATION OF IUCATAN.-We have before
stated in the columns Of this paper, that COM
missioner from Yucatan had arrived in Wash
ngton, bearing proposals from the government
Of that State for its annexation to this Union.
We have since learned that such is the case; that
such proposals have actually been submitted to
our government; but that all overtures of this de.
scription were declined by Mr.. Polk and Mr..
| Buchanan.
We also learn, in addition to this fact that
there are now at Washington agents from New
Leon and Tamaupas, prepared to make similar
over,ures on the part of these States; but what
action has been taken on them, We do not at pre-
sent know. The desire for annexation, by the
people OF Yucatan, is, We understand, very gene
raj, aud there is some probability that If lts
overturcs be rejected by our government,
they will throw themselves into the arms
| OF England, or some other European power,
| that will extend its protection to them, and
ensure them a steady and stable government.
England, especially, would have no objection to
extend her protection over that country, either
as colony or colonial depend ency, as she has
on the south of 1t HOnduras-Brltish territory
the value and Importance of which would be
greatly enhanced by the addition of Yucatan.sa 1t
also embraces large portion of the finest cotton
land in the world, and this alone would be
great inducement for England to take hold of it,
as she would be in such case relieved of absolute
dependence on US for that important staple of
commerce and manufacture. Its population is
about $4,000, of whom 200, 900 are Spaniards
about the same number of descendants of the
Spanish and Indian races; $4,000 civilized Indi-
ans. and 100000 wild Indians, who are not re-
garded as members of the State. Its constitution
Is modelled after that of the United States.
We sincerely hope that this matter will be
scrutnised by Congress; that they will for time,
at least, give up electioneering for the Presiden-
cy, and investigate this highly important subject
| thorouphly.

AN AM USING INCIDENT.

A few days since, says a St.
Louis paper, a man from the
Missouri river, having arrived
In our city, at once started of
upon spree, and in his pere-
grinations he picked up COM
panion, apparently on the same
purpose. After warming up
pretty freely, the Missouri riv-
er man started his companion
into the Bank of Missouri to
get two bills changed--a 500
and a S50-in order to have a
handy material to carry on the
glorifcation. The man entrus-
ted with the bills was not so far
gone as to be entirely obliviouS,
and he thought, as he entered
the door of the bank, that the
fact of an entire stranger trhst-
ing him with that amount of mo-
ney, was rather suspicious cir
cumstance; however, he pre-
sented the bills. AS the teller
picked up the small specie sho-
vel, to lift some of the metallic,
he cast a scrutinizing glance at
the holder of the bills, and a
terrible thought flashed over
the latter's mind in a moment;
casting the notes upon the coun-
ter, as if they had stung him,
he fled. His companion, the
note-owner, forgetful of every
thing but the first movement he
had commenced the day with,
proceeded to carry out his frol-
&c, and, finally wound up by fall
ing into the hands of the police,
minus his hat, coat and vest
On recovering, he remembered
his companion and the $3.50,
and gave description Of his
friends person to- Mr.. Cousins,
who, guided by this clue, went
directly to the mans house.
He was an honest carpenter,
whose only fault was indulgence
in strong drink. The moment
the police officer mentioned his
business, the carpenter turned
pale, began to tremble, and de-
clared that he was totally un-
conscious of the fact at the time
he offered the bills, that they
were counterfeiH He protest
ed that he did not know the
Missouri river man, and was,
with difficulty, prevented from
'pummelling' the man for draw
ing him into such a scrape.--
His mind was wonderfully re-
lieved, on learning thatthe notes
were genuine, and that all they
wanted Of him was togo with
them to the bank, to identify and
reclaim them.
"What did you run for ?'' in
quired officer G..
"Why," said he, 81 had sus-
picion they were counterfeit,
and when the fellow picked,up
that iron shovel. and sot his
eyes on me, | thought'l | was sure
of it, and l leaned. / thought
he was going to oknock me down
to secure me-"
The money was obtained from
the bank, and, with a pleasant
smile at the termination of the
affair, the parties separated
When tho Missouriiriver mar
was parting with the officer, ht
remarked:
"Stranger,.I'm goin' home tt
have this little affair out. This
town is a dreadful sight too big
for a fellow to let himself loose
