Mir Balls proposition. in regard to the territorial and slavery questions, meet with much notice and encouragement
 Texas will, feel assured, listen to propositions which will make her "a great nstion." The three States the Gulf will alternately become, together with Louisiana, the most populous and potent of all tho sIavehoding States. Moreover. the inducemen nt which is offered, in the payment of large sum of money to Texas, cannot be easily withstOod. IL is tho ready resource for the preservation Of Texan faith and honor and ft wI be recollected that Gen. James Hamilton pronounced the Texans to be ia debt-paying people"
 The proposition comes we'll from Tennessee, as . State which holds extreme opinions and calls for no violent party actions on these subjects.
 The Senate. according to previous arrangement, devoted this day to the dispatch of executive busi- ness.
 learn that the appointment of z. Collins Lee, as U. g. District Attorney for Maryland was unani- mously confirmed. Mr. Lee formerly held the same office.
 do not know what is the next evil that is to me- mace us during the present week-snd at the mo. ment of danger, be Averted from us by the marked interpretation of Providence. The dsuaers that we have escaped, so far. during this week were great and it serves to prove that ,hs s great nation, and that We are in the hands of God, as Gen Cass told us the other day.
 In the first place. duel which if il had occurred would have been on exclusive sectional grounds. and have been fought with wide spread and mis- ehisvovs consequsnces,was prevented, aud the mat ter is settled forever.
 Danger npmber two was awful aud mysterious; and that is averted by a compromise. whereby Doty's resolution is sent to the committee of th< whole on the state of the Union, to be talked over instead of being fouyat over.
 Danger number three was in the collapse of th entire building of the Smithsonian Institute, whic had well nigh sent thirty persons to their lon home
 Danger number four was in the flight, taken be fors the wind. of fine roof, rafiers. sheeting an what not of Winders buiidng-a which wer near pitching Into Commodore Smiths room in tn navy ofice, the street, at eleven o'clock thi morning. It is marvel that one hurt.
