GREAT TRurH.-- The American party, says
an exchange, is everywhere coming out as an
open organization, upon the broad platform Of
the Union, the constitution and its compromises,
and maintaining the great patriotic doctrine
that Americans should rule America. The
march of this grrat national party is onward.
In fact, it promises soon to be the only strictly
national party in the country. No fears Of a
dissolution of the Union need be apprehended
when it achieves power. It will bind the States
together with "hooks of STEEL" that no power,
whether domestic or foreign, can break. '

A letter from Senator Potter, dated Austin,
Dec 1ss. says that the report Of Upton Walker,
Esq., on the Galveston Bay and Brazos Canal,
!" is satisfactory, and the company can get their
scrip on demand BY their agent. .
Private letters from FL Paso state that sew
eral daring robberies had been committed in
Franklin, opposite that town, by gang OF des-
peradoes, led by . fellow named Gordon. The
San Antonio Herald says:
It appears they entered the Office Of the cusI
tom-honse oMcer, pried the brass knob from the
safe, filled the hole with powder, and touched it
Of, blowing the door nearly open. The robbers
finished the work with croW-bars, and took
$1,000 from the safe, $500 Of which had been
deposited by D. J. II. Lyons SCENT Tie re-
port of the explosion AROUSED the citizens from
their slumbers, but none ssntured out to ascsr-
tain the cause. The next night some Of the
party entered . grocery establishment and took
everything they could carry and decamped with
two fine horses to parts unknown. They left a
note written on slate. giving their reason for
taking such liberties 4sa4 saa5st
The man Gordon was about Ell Paso in 1850
Isl, when he was accused Of being in league
with the Apaches, and orders were sent to the
military commanders for his arrest. But be
got wind Of it, and left for CALIFORNIA; a short
time since he and some Of his party were ar
rested at Durango for killing Mexican BY
some means they effected their escape and came
TO Franklin, where they behaved themselves
tolerably well until they perpetrated these rob-
berries.

The charts Of the late Arctic Expedition in
search Of Sir John Franklin, the Washington
Union states, show larger range of discovery
than had been anticipated from the preliminary
report. Many have been exhibited to the se-
cretary of the Navy and subjected to the Ma
tional Observatory and Coast Survey. DIR.
Kane has evidently material in reserve. The
area of the open sea, by careful revision Of
the work, has been found to exceed four thou
sand miles, Or more than one thousand in ex-
cess Of the original estimate. This large body
was absolutely and entirely free from Ice The
scientific materials Of the expedition will be pub
lished under Che direct charge Of DR.. Kane, who
has been detailed for that duty by the Navy
Department. The Smithsonian Institution and
Coast Survey have both volunteered their aid
in furtherance of this object.
