of the feeling in the House, we can read

cussion in both Houses of Congress has
not been of any avail in settling the va
rious questions arising out OF the con-
quest of territory from Mexico. We are
almost certain that if the house refuses
to pass the Te&as and New Mexico bills
the California bill will fail with them. 1t

INTERNAL NAVIGATION OF N RTnERN

GENERAL TAYLoR's REMAINS -..Colone
Bliss. 10 letter to Christian Roselins, oi
New Orleans, in behalf of Mrs. Taylor
relative to the removal of The remains Of
General Taylor, says:
The desire which you express. in be.
half of the citizens of Louisiana, that the
remains of the late President should be
removed to that State for final nterment,
exhibits degree Of respect for his mem.
ory which is the more feengly apprec-
ated by Mrs. Taylor, because she has
valued friendsin your State and cherished
associations connected with her residence
there; she. therefore, deeply regrets that
the wish of the committee cannot he com
piled with. Her own feelings, and those
Of the members of her family, now here,
are decidedly in favor of the removal OF
the remains to the family cemetery, near
Louisville, where the father and kindred
of her late husband have been buried.
She is sure that the committee will un'
derstand the motives which lead her to
prefer this disposal Of The remains. She
is not the less grateful to them and to the
people whom they respect. for the dis
tinguished tribute of affectionate regard
to the memory of the departed, which
their application conveys. and for which
she begs leave to tender her warmest &C
knowle edgements.

Coop Hrr.-- The Ohio Statesman makes

doubt but Hinton is q great scamp, and
we hope he will be overlaken and pun

the Statesman in this matter. Less than
