Correspondence CT fhe Tribune
WASHINGTON, Friday, Jaly6
The city 10 full ofrumors az TO marches and coun.
termsrches in Texas, for the circulation OF which
the public are mainly indebted to the Soutkcrs
Press. They were doubtless manufactured TO or.
der, and for the purpose Of prejud cling the minds
Of Southern Senators against TIC Compromise bill,
and If possible defeat It BY fraud CT this kind
Up to the latest intelligence from Texss, no troops
had marched upon New. Mexico nor had the Gov.
eraor Of that State called for any to do so. Pabs
meetings had been held in several different coua
ties in the State calling upon the Governor to sdopt
5uch course bat instead OF doing 50, have res-
son TO believe that be has sent Commissioners who
are on their way to this city with view OF pre-
ssntipg the claims Of Texas, sc. before the Presi-
dent in person. If any violent measures are 70
sorted to, it will doubt be, after the return Of
such Commissioners to Texas, aud the report they
may make shows that they will be backed in 20
doing by the Southern States.
The statement about Gen. QgrMAss having
telegraphed here that he is ready to march into
Texas with ten thousand men, is all hoax, and
shows how easy Mr. ELLwooD FISHER can DO
gulled by the okers that are generally found retail
ing rery important about the public resorts at
the National Hotel The whole s.1ry was manu-.
featured out Of the expression Of an opinion by q
friend Of Gen. QUTMAss, that in the event Of
collision between the Federal troops and the cti-
zens of Texas, lie would be willing to put himsel
at the head Of eight ten thousand men and march
to the support of the Texans. From this, the
autographed news" that tbs Southern Press an
nounces was manufactured.
Al tharegular Cabinet meeting held on w ednes
day of this week. the threatened collision bstween
Texas and New Mexico was incidentally alluded
10. and informally talked over bat neither the
President Tor the Cabinet believe that any sach
contingency will arise, and therefore they have not
taken the troQble to determine what would be tho
nroper course 10 pursue in such event II Gen.
TAYroR or any Of bis Cabinet have asserted even
indirectly to the course Of Col. MUsRoE Ia issaing-
his proclamation or the election Of Delegates TO form
State Constitution, they will SUSTAIN what that
Convention may DO so far as the sstA olishnent of
their boundaries is concerned, &c. The President
believes that Texas has 10 title or even color of
title, to the territory claimed BY her, and will no,
see the authorities Of New Mexicoc yerpo9ered by
her stronger rival, especially in attempts 70 seize
what does not belong to Texas.
The whole matter, however, can be satisfactorily
adjusted by the adoption Of NJ. CLAr's PROPOSE
tioR and which, 10 the end, would be the cheap
est 30 the Government even If we paid Texas
double Whist wolld satisfy her. Il Is not unlre-
quently the case, when g mans tile is even sian
dered, that he regards il as the part Of both pra,
dence and economy 70 bay his peace with the sian
derer And apon the: principle, Il no other, the
United States had hotter pay Texas something.
and baye Eew.hexieo protected 10 her clearly
established rights Peac''sbiy, than 10 have an ex.
element fernente& By means Of collision, tn at
would, in all human probability, cost the Govern
meat G0zGIe the sNR1 Of expenditure u qs.eA, that
it would require, in the irst instance, 10 ss,isy
Texas, and have her give up pescsably even the
imaginary right she has Get up.
Mr.. CUssseBAs, violent Loco Fooo, who was
