The Texas Debt Bill,

The New York Tribune, referring to the passage of this bill by the Texas Legislature, says:
 "The effect of this bill will be to deplete our sub-treasury of S7,75O,OOO, which amount was appropriated by Congress in cash, in place of five millions per cent. stock, to the pay ment of the debts of Texas. After the Gov ernor of Texas has signed the bill and the gov ernment at Washington have been officially mo- tified. the claims against the State will be ad- vertised for ninety days, after which the fund will be distributed pro rata. The amount of claims is supposed to be about SlO,OOo,ooO which will make the payment of 771a per cent. The claims are, with small exceptions, held oy American citizens; about one-third in this city, one-third in Philadelphia, one-sxth in baltl- more, and one eighth in New Orleans. One of the citizens of this city holds about million of dollars which he bought from the trustees of the United States Bank at about fifteen cents on the dollar A produce house in this city will make, it is supposed, a profit of over S25O, ,OOO, and Messrs. Drexel & O., of Phila- Gelpha, are supposed to be holders of about e3OOOOO upon which large profit will be re- alized. Probably within the next four months this vast amount of gold will be transferred from the sub treasury to the banks, afiording a basis for a considerable expansion of loans, or supply the demand for gold for export, if such demand should exist, as 1t probably will" | The Herald adds: "The money IS to be di- vided among creditors in New York to the amount of S1,2OoOO0; in Philadelphia, S35, 5OO,OOO; in Baltimore, S1,5OO,0OO; in Wash ington, S3OO,OO0; in New Orleans, S5Oo,OOO; other places, $7500O0. Among the leading holders of the debt are said to be the follow ing parties: New York-J. & R. Millbank & Co.,, S5OO,OOO; G. B. Lamar, $10O0OO; Phila. delphia-Schott & Whitney, ,$6OOO 900; Drexel & O., s35O,O0O; United States Bank claim, Sl 900 GOO: Baltimore-W. c. Dawson, S2OO, GOO: Mavhew & O., S25O,OOO; Washington Corcoran & Riggs about 3OO,OOO."

 Please contradict the report that was killed oy the Indians on Wednesday last l killed seven with my own hands, They hunted me through the brush for one mile with dogs and lighted sticks, and every one who carried the lights l shot. The only wound I got was a skin wound in the forehead from buckshot. lived in the brush OF leaves, and shot an h. dian this morning for his dried salmon and wheat, at Mir; Lemmon's. Give my respects to Bright and Robbeson, and let them know I am safe, only had to throw away my Loots and my feet are badly hurt. Lost my horse. instrument and medicine case My horse was shot in the kidneys, in the swamp where we received murderous discharge of balls and buckshot. Please let Mr. Willy say am all right"

Taking the Assessment.
The following good story we find in the las West Baton ROuoe Smear pl,n+or.


 When the immortal Col. - was asses sor of neighboring parish, he was wont to have high old time. One day, as he was as- sessng the valuables of the occupants of log cabin, situated in the Pine woods, he, in his usual urbane manner, popped the questions to the old ,ooman, while the old man had gone out to procure some "c corn cob oil' wherewith to regale his guest.
 "How many horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, etc., have you got my dear madam, and Low much are they worth?''
 "Well thar's three old horses, but they aint wuth cent-three cows, but they've bin lost thls spring two years-nary sheep, 'cept my old man, and he aint wuth cuss; but he alters votes the demmycrack ticket and buys his whiskey by the jug when he can get it a heap cheaper by the bar'l. The chickens was all stole the other night, an hope to maSsy they'll plzen the scamp that hooked 'em.''
 Very satisfactory estimate of your valua- bles, particularly about the old man-but here s something worth assessing (pointing to a dirty little urchan about five years old that was elinging to the old woman's gown0 how much do you value that little nigger at?''
 Little nigger! sakes alive. you internal old rascal, do you dare to call my child nigger? Ciaf out 0 nere, or I'll knock the davllghtS out Q you m minnit. Oh my. to think should live to be forty odd next class meeting. and to hear my own child called nigger by such fe- Ter as you, ?
 By this time the old woman had worked her self up to pitch of urgoveruable fury, and raising her voice to shrill yell, she called out to the old man, tO come quick and chaw the Colonel up" and we are compelled by an in ward reward for veracity, to record that the Colonel's old bay made six miles of bad road ln better time than Lecomte ever did i'll his palmiest days. A deputy was sent to attend to the unfinished business in that settlement. and the Cnloncl's remembrance of that days work has " hoisted' him into the other extreme. for the last and biggest fight he was in was occa- stoned by his entering upon his record when 1 taking the last census-six little mulattoes as the children of one of his constituents.

MT. Banks Position-Who is He! What is
 


 The New York Tribune, on the 22d ult.. published letter from GUY R. PELToN, of the third district of New York, to his constituents, not originally intended for the public eve but published at the solicitation of friends. Mr.. PELToN defends his vote for BANKS, not so much on the ground that BANKS is republican,, as that he is a sworn member of the order of Know Nothngs, of which PELToN himself is a professing and prosecuting leader
 We quote passage from Mr. PELToN's let ter defining Mir. BANKS position:
 It was finally discovered that men of all nar- ties who were opposed to the breaking up of the Missouri compromise line and opposed to the admlnstratlon, must unite upon some one who would represent the anti N ebraska and American sentiment of the House I in turn voted for Fuller, Campbell, of Ohio, and Pen nngton. After had learned that Fuller who'll " abandoned the anti-Nebraska platform upon which he aoas elected, and held the identical po- sltlon of Richardson & Co.,, in regard to the is- sue before us, felt that had unwittingly vot- ed for one Who could not be endorsed by any northern man, and then voted for Pennington until It became evident that the only man whom we could elect was N P. Banks. Every north- ern man, With some six or eight humilatine ex- captions, thought and did as did; and we have not yet any good reason presented to us for act ing differently. MT. Banks, if his position and principles were we'll known, certain V cannot be objectionable to any American north of the sla- very limits He is firm nt-Nebraska man, and as firm an American and more eminentlv fitted to discharge the duties of speaker, than any officer on the floor of the House. If, through newspaper misrepresentation or other wise, any friend of mine has conceived for one moment that he is an abolitonst or ultra anti. slavery in his views, let me assure him that nc man ever more misudged.
 | He is conservative in his views, and should he be elected, his administration as speaker will be conducted in manner that will justify ou, votes and satisfy all parties (except those who regard the extension of slavery as the sole ob

Another Case Of Fever and Ague Cured.

s-95- few days ago we recorded an astonishing cure of Fever and Ague by the use of Dr. MLane's Liver Pills. We have now another to mcntion viz: that of Mr. James Sharpe, of Madisonburgh, who states that he hai bored under very severe attack of Ague and Fever anl soon restored by the use of these Pills, MT. Sharpe also expresses an opinion founded on observation. that the Liver Pills are the best for billions complaints ever ottre in his section of country.
 Although long known as a sovereign remedy for chronic cases of Dcptie dcrargenent. diseases of the Liver, the propretors of Dr. MIanes Pills were pot prepared for lo frequent, hut gratifying eviden Of it's general utility and curative capacity In this respect, this invaluable medicine has exceeded ther most sanguine expectations, and induced them to hope that it will be introduced into every family in the United States.

Religious Rights of the Hebrews.

Gen. Cass in presenting a petition to the United States Senate, on Tuesday, made the following just and liberal remarks:
 MT. President I have been requested by our Hebrew fellow citizens of this District to present petition asking for an act of incor. poration to enable them to erect place of wor. ship and to manage the temporalites connect ed with 1t. 1 understand that the existing law in this district makes provision for those purposes only in relation to christian denomi- nations. Such distinction is an act of gross injustice, and, if continued after our attention is directed to it, 1t would be disgrace to our jurisprudence. It would i'll become us to cast reproach by any act of ours upon the faith o1 the patrarchs and prophets of lsreal, to whose keeping for more than two thousand years were committed the oracles of the true and living God. Considered in a historical aspect only, the rise and progress and fall of the Jewish race constitute the most interesting and remark able, and may add, romantic episode in the whole annals of mankind. The incarnate Sa- vior himself, in his human capacity, was a Jew, and he came as he decared not to de- stroy the first dlspansaton-that of law-but to fulfill 1t by the second dispensation-that of mercy His revelation is freely offered to all the world whether Jew or Gentle: and 1t con- demns every kind of persecution and intoer- ance, whether civil or ecclesiastical. trust that that fell spirit leading to eternal conflicts between the power to intiict and the power to endure will never take possession of the AmerCan heart, nor write its cruel and unchriS- tlan decrceS i'll the volumes of American legis- latlon. l move the reference of this petition to the committee on the District of Columbia
 The motion was agreed to.
