MAI. DoNELsoN-THE TEXAS MISSION
The diplomatic agency of this govern
ment In Texas Is, at this moment, the
most important mission abroad although
it ranks with those of the second class,
its high and important duties require tai
ents of one every way qualified for the fist
foreign mission on the globe.
We congratulate the administration on
having been able to secure the services of
one so eminently qualified in all respects for
the station, whose thorough knowledge of
the relations subsisting between the two
countries, and whose intimate acquaint-
ance with the prominent statesmen of this
and that government, will place him in
the enjoyment of advantages which cannot
fail to secure to US the most desirable re-
suits
Major Donelson leaves his plantation
near the Hermitage to-day-proceeding
overland to the Mississippi river on his
way to the Texan Capital-and we cannot
but participate in the painful emotions
with which the word ''farewelI' will be
exchanged between himself and his ven
cradle patron, friend and relative, ''the
sage of the Hermitage"
! In view of the advanced age of Gen'l
jackson, it is more than probable that
they may never meet again A relation
ship next to that of father and son, if in
deed it be not equally near and dear, will
be severed perhaps forever And we feel
assured that nothing short of sense OF
ed an acceptance of the mission Nor,
for this patriotic reason, would the AGED
VETERAN advise him to decline it
Maj. d. leaves host of good and true
friends, who will continue to have an abb

send the accompanying dispatch to you
a copy is sent to Gen. Taylor, and one to
Col. E. A Rhodes, the Vice Consul at
Galveston, with directions, if you have
left the country, on your return home, to
regard the dispatch as addressed to him,
and to proceed without delay to execute its
Instructions
1t this shall find you in New Orleans,
the President wishes you to exercise YOUR
own discretion, in pursuing your Journey
home, or in returning to Texas Your
health ought to exercise controlling in
fiuence in forming your conclusion.
The services which you have rendered
your country in the delicate negotiations
entrusted to you, are justly appreciated
Your prudence, discretion and ability,
have inspired the President with conf
dence, which would make him feel much
more at ease, if that delicate task could
be in your hands
But your sacrifices and risks have been
already SO great, that he leaves your deci-
sion entirely in your hands, and you need
apprehend no disapprobatiOn on his part,
If you determine not to return
1t gives me great pleasure to assure
you, that the publication of your official
correspondence will give you a most envi-
able reputation for the highest qualities
of a statesman and diplomatist
The President unites in the kindest
regards, with your friend,

A Great Blessing to the Aff1icted.

The numbe- and formidable character of dis
eases OF the Liver have long challenged the at
tention of medical men. Some of these diseases
classed under the general term CT Consumption,
have been supposed incurabe and the unhappy
patient allowed to die, without medical science
to offer him hope of recovery Happily this
can no longer be the case. \ remedy has been
found which will cure all complaints, of whatever
character, arising from arrangement of the Liver
The Pills discovered BY DR.. M'Lane, of Virginia,
act directly on the Liver; and by correcting its
operation and purifying it from disease, cuts off
and extirpates the complaints which have their
origin in the diseases of this organ. Remedies
hitherto proposed for liver complaints, have failed
to operate upon the seat of the disease but Dr.
M'Lane's Pills make themselves felt upon the
action of the Liver and by cleansing the fountain,
dry up the impure streams of disease which
thence derive their existence
