\ IN WASHINGTON.

Scarcely a day passes hat some evil
dcBcc is not brought TO our notice. that
there exists at Washington false infor-
nation and erroneous views of the real
state Of the public mind at the South.
The example set by Gen. Footc. in man.
ulacturing a Southern sentiment for
congressional use. and to influence the
fate of the Clay bills, has been industri.
ousLAfellewed and members are con-
%stantly piled with letters, telling them
how popular the Clay compromise is.
in this or that section. Our readers
will scarcely believe us, when we tell
them, one member from Georgia has
received a letter from this place, in.
forming him that eleven out of twelve
of the people of Columbus and Musco.
gee are in favor of Clay's plan. And
if such a letter could 90 from here, the
very hot-bed and fountain head of re.
bellion against that Infamous plan Of
capitulation, the public may judge
what will be the character Of the Ger.
tifcates sent from other sections more
timid and rotten in the Southern cause
than Muscogee.
We warn the members Of Georgia,
not to yield to this delusion. So far
from being true, the minority here in
favor of that plan is barely respectable
in point of numbers. Those who are
Of that minority are huttering and ir>
r~esolute and only go TOR it, because
they would go for anything that would
procure peace to the country /; and
some of them, because they believe the
South is whipped and cowed, and
should thankfully take the Clay plan
as the best terms their conquerors will
give. But the majority of the people
scout and scorn it-they will not sub
nit to it, and are just as ready to en-
brace diSunion as the alternative of this
degradation. as they are to eat their
breakfasts. They believe as we do,
that the adoption by Congress of that
plan, virtually dissolves the Union, and
sewers the bonds which have made us
one people. For ourselr, we are ready
for that issue--and we would hardly
dare say so, if the sentiment were not
c%oncurred in by the people with whom
we act-and will advocate dissolution
as an imperative political necessity for
| the South, whenever Congress denies
her right to enter or divide with the
l North the common territories.
There will be a demonstration here
on Tuesday next that will prove to our
: members how false are the certificates
of public opinion which have been sen,
to them. We pray their attention to
these portents, and we warn them that
the Georgia representative who peril.
his reputation on IL vote for these bills
may as well set his honse in order, not

PUEBLO VorERs IN New MExGco.--In the
enumeration ofthe population of New Mex
leo by Hugh Smith, who claims to be the
territorial delegate at Washington, the mum
Der of Pueblo Indians entitled to vote is set
down at twelve thousand. The right at
taches to them, because they live in settle
ments and are taxed, but it is an error to sup
pose them to be more advanced in c~iviliza-
ton or more intelligent than the n~eighbor-
ng tribes about them. Mr.. Calhoun, the
Indian Agent at Santa Fe, has stated in an
official report to the United States Govern
ment, that the Navajoes, and other tribes,
are much further advanced in intelligence
and civilization thap the Puebloes, cultivate
more land, have more focks and herds, and
make better clothes than the Puebloes.
The same authority corrects the erroneous
opinion that the Pueblos form a distinct tribe.
The number of Fueblos, each containing
inhabitants from three to six hundred, is
about twenty, not including the Indians
west or south of the Moques. Of these
twenty Peublos, Mr.. Calhoun says, the Ian.
guages OF at least zen Of them are altogeth.
.er different and it is said by some who
claim to be Judges, that there is not the Slight
est analogy in language existing between
any two of them, and they communicate
with each other through the instrumentallty
of Mexico interpreters, or %pantomimic ac-
ton. 1t is by this class ofvoters, Mr.. Call
houn says, hat MIR. Smith was elected a
delegate to Congress. That was the first
occasion upon which they exercised their
rights as voters, which were acquired under
a decree Of Santa Anna, made in 1913. So
far as the Mexican decree rs concerned.
the Camauche Indians are also voters, for
it enacts that all persons born in Mexico are
citizens.
These Indians, thus uncivilised, ignorant
not only of our laws or institutions, and Of
our language or of the language of each
other-from a large part of the convention
at Santa Fe, made a State convention, and
having taken one-third of Texas to make
out their new sovereignty, demand admis-
sion into the Union.

we have a few mail facilities, and our PEG.

THE McDONOGH WILL.

The New Orleans Bulletin makes the follow
ing remarks upon the subject of the remarkable
will of the late John McDonogh, of that city:
"The principal subject of discussion in the
city the last 1orty-eight hours has been the will
of the late John McDonogh 1t seems to be the
gen raj opinion that this will is the best one that
has ever been made in this country--tor the law
yers--and the whole of the " learned profession y
of the city, seem to be on the very tpoe of ex-
pectation on the subject From what we have
seen and heard OF the document, it appears to be
not only perfectly impractlcable to carry out its
provisions, but is besides SO nanifestv illegal, thai
we are only surprised that man of mir McDo.
Dogh's known shreWdness and experience should
ever for one moment have thought that such a
will could stand under our laws. 1t opens rich
prospect for almost iuterminable litigation, and
such prize will of course not be relinquished
without most animated and protracted struggle,
particularly when those who will claim under it.
and will be the defendants in any legal proceed
ngs, are the cities of New Orleans and Baltimore.

by the States of Louisiana and Maryland. Pos

litigation, it may result in the division of the shells

We are sire that husband, so beautifully
touchicgy appealed to, will fly home upon the "
d love:
TO AN ABSENT HUSBAND
Dearest, come home cannot bear
Thy long protracted stay.
So sad and lonely is my heart
When thou art gone away.
I've tried alas how yainly tried,
Thine absence to forget,
Yet still ] can but think of ,lee
With tOndness and regret.
As mourns the gentle cooling dove,
In accents desolaie,
When forced 10y some unkindly hand
Far from her loving mate
So through the chambers OF my heart
Echoes moumful tone,
Whilst every pulse affection beats
Re-echoes I'm alone"
Things that are bright when thou art here
Look dark and gloomy now,
And nature seems to share my grief
With clouds upon her brow.
J he ord sings now a sadder song
Than eer he sang before,
And flowers have lost the sunny hue
They once so sweetly wore
To while the weary hours away,
That lag with leaden feet,
| read thy tavorte authors Ger,
Their choicest parts repeat.
But even books, those vo;ceess friends,
Have lost all charm for me,
And fail to cheer my heart, unless
read them, love, with thee.
And music with her voice so sweet,
Pye called her 10 my aid,
As soft and low, with trembling hand,
Thy ayorte air, I've played
But ah those tender notes I've stirr'd
Affections fountain deep,
