THE BALTIMORE AND Ono RAILRoAp.--The resignation
John H. Done esq., late master OF transportation, was
rendered early in November to take effect the 30th of
that month The reluctance of the company to part with

railroad, its general superintendent being absolute

services to the company and has high rank among
the first railway managers of the country. We have al

of some testimonial of thanks for his efficient conduct in
their service

We have adyices from Northern Mexico which
indicate state Of things highly unfayorable to the
schemes of the Slavery Propaganda Of Texas. 1t
seems that the company of fllbusters who crossed
The Rio Grande, under command of Capt Henry,
made directly for Piedras Negras, the headquarters
of Col LanQberg Danish officer long resident IN
Mexico, and now the chief OF the insurgents OF
Coahus The Colonel at once told him that his
assistance was not desired, and that the people OF
the country felt themselves sbundanty able to re-
gain their political rights without foreign inter-
ference Thence Benry proceeded to Laredo, where
he net with a similar reception from the officer in
command of the iDsurgent force; and thereupon
our adventurous illibusters had to go home again,
without having accomplished anything, either to-
ward the annexation of the Republic of the Sierra
Msdre TO the United States, or the formation Of
treaty for the extradtion of runaway Texan ne
groes
In fact, it is now demonstrated beyond dispute
that the people Of the region across the Rio Grande
dc sire nothing so little as to become portion Of
the American Union. In their ignorant and preju
diced eyes, even the blessings of the patriarchal
institution possess no attraction, and indeed their
aversion to Slavery would seem to be the strongest
among the impulses which render them hostile to
annexation and, so long as such men as Langberg
ard Vdaurri are at their head, the Propaganda must
be content to see COahuila, Tamaulipas and New
Leon remain a safe refuge for as many slaves as
can make their way over the Rio Grande. Whether
the attempt is now set on foot to establish those
three States as an indept Ddent Confederation, or
whether they continue attached to the destinies of
Mexico they are, for the present at least, secure
from becoming the prey of the fllibusters, or a
hunting field for the catchers of slaves.
