THE SANTA FE CAsE.-The important case Of
Manuel X. Harmony vs.. Col. ID. D. Mitchell, be-
ing action Of trespass for goods seized for pub
lie purposes in time Of war, has just been decided
by the United States District Court of New York.
The Judge charged the jury that they must find

fendan, he should feel it his duty to set aside the
verdict. The jury accordingly delivered verdict

fence gave notice Of exceptions, and the case is to
be taken to the United States Supreme Court
The defendant in this case was Lieutenant
Colonel Of regiment Of mounted volunteers COM

REFLECTION OF SENATOR RUsK.-The re-elec-
ton Of Senator RusK by the Legislature Of Texas,
now in session, will be gratifying to the friends of
the Union in every portion Of the country. There
was no organized opposition to him. He received
fifty-six votes-all others only eight ! Col. VIC
FALL, Of Eastern Texas, lawyer Of some ability,
South Carolinian, and a strong Nashville Con-
vention man, received three votes This almost
unanimous endorsement of the views Of Senator
RUsK shows that there is no want Of patriotism or
love of the Union in the "lone star" State The
reelection of Senator RUsK, by SO large a vote,
reflects equal credit on him and on the State he
has SO faithfully and ably represented.

Every reader who has been long enough ac-
quainted with Congress will remember the Hon.
Lot WARREN, who, some years ago, represented,
in the House of Representatives, in manner Gre
ditabe to himself and to his State one of the dis
ticts of the State Of Georgia The opinions Of a
man of his grave and consistent character upon
questions Of the day are entitled to much respect
Such opinions we find expressed by him in letter
addressed to one of his fellow-ctzens, published,
under date Of the 25th Of July, in the Georgia
papers. The letter expresses his judgment, as
Southern man adhering to all the rights and inte-
rests Of the South in favor Of the several measures
embraced in .the Compromise as if was called,
and which have since separately and successfully
passed into laws, except the BILL still pending, for
the abolition Of the Nare Trade in the District Of
Columbia. Of that measure he says that he has
lamented that the state Of public opinion in the
South, produced by the interference with its rights
by fanatics g has been such to prevent the rep
resentatves from the South moving upon the
subject, to the breaking up of those loahsome ne
a gro jails in the city of Washington, by passing
such laws as almost all Of the slave States have
passed upon the subject Of introducing slaves into
the States.'' And though, as measure by itself,
he would not as Southern man now vote for it,
vet, in general adjustment of all the questions SO
full Of agitation, he thinks it would be the duty Of
every member Of Congress, from whatever section
Of the country, to do it. And so,' says he in
conclusion, . may say that there is nothing in the
measure of adjustment before the Senate which
could not command my support as measure Of
9 adjustment and compromise Of this sectional
dispute"

i Our anticipatons of the universal satisfaction
with which the late peace-making acts of Congress
would be received by the People Of the United
States generally have been fully realized. Hardly
whisper Of dissent to them, as whole, whatever
exceptions may be taken to any one Of the bills, or
to particular features OF the entire series, is heard
from any quarter but from the camp OF the Dis
unionsts, from defeated political Abolionists--we
do not of course include conscientious Free-soilers
in this categoryor from habitual malcontents, and
grim grumbers at other peoples happiness. j
We could fill double sheet Of eight and forty
of our broad columns with extracts full Of Joy and
graduation from the Southern and Western papers
alone on this subject. Satisfied with the result
however, we have better occupation for our columns
at this moment than to fill them with Civilizations of
our own or Of any body else's on the occasion.
But we cannot refrain from copying the following
from worthy Western contemporary, distinguished
as it is by its brevity, its earnestness, and its trans
parent patriotism:

]" MosT GRATIFYING NEws.-Our paper today
contains intelligence Of the passage by the House
Of the bill to settle the Texas boundary, the bills
to establish Territorial Governments in Utah and
New Mexico, and the bill for the admission Of
California as State. Harmony is secured.
Patriots rejoice! Lovers of the Union, throw up
your hats! The occupation of agitators and dis
unionsts at the North and at the South is gone"
We add the following, from highly respectable
paper in Georgia, to show that, in urging with some
vehemence, as we did, the passage of these mea-
sures, we were sustained in estimate Of the dam
ger ahead by the opinion Of persons among the dis
creetest of our Southern friends:
FROM THE SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN OF SEPT. 10.
We concur in the sentimen Of the National
IateAgencer that every vote against this bill is
a vote for civil war; We do not mean to charge
its opponents with desire to provoke hostilities
+ between Texas and the General Government, or
rather between the North and the South but that
there must and will be an appeal to arms, if the
Is House adjourns without adjusting the difficulty,
we entertain but little doubt. Such must be the
bitter consequences Of leaving the question open.
Upon this point there can be but little difference
