SOMETHING THAT CONGRESS SHOULD ATTEND

attention to a matter of practical Importance, rs
expire scd In the bill introduced in the House by
Mr.. Pelton Of New York, Of which the following

pose q anor ling relief 70 distressed vessels their passcn
fy thousand dollars be- and Il hereby appropriated FOR
that purpose, out u any moneys the treasury Of
the United states, and not otherwise appropriated.
We have previously alluded to this matter.
ard we now desire to press il upon the attention
Of Congress. On the FIRST Of July we published
let Of marine disasters during the preceding six
months. by this list IL appeared that three hun
drcd and fifty vessels and cargocs, valued at IF
teen millions Of dollars. were lost, and we now
learn that by only sixteen Of these disasters Gf-
teen hundred lives were lost. The duties to have
been collected on the lost cargoes would have
amounted 10 over two millions Of dollars
There can be no doubt that many of these
disc tiers might have been prevented by the en-
poyment Of stout steam cutters which could live
in weather where sailing cutters would be obliged
to seek shelter. The cost TO the government
would be saved ten times over by the duties col
lcctcd, as the above statistics show. We trust
that the representatives Of this State win spare
no pains TO push the bill through.

INTERESTING MEXICAN NEws-The news from
Mexico aud Washington, published to-day, may
afford more satisfaction in this city than in
Washington among the members Of the Cabinet
1t is not to be doubted that constitution estab-
fishing liberation Of religion in Mexico will be
popular everywhere. But the decree of Comon-
fort, which looks to the future appropriation of
the vast wealth of the church and the immediate
receipt of few millions, will certainly upset
some Of the calculations of Premier Marcy, and
all others of Pacific Railroad authority. Now
Mexico will not sell another patch of land in the
Mesilla neighborhood, and the boundary, as lately
established by proclamation, will stand for the
present.
We sincerely sympathise with the Cabinet in
the failure Of their recent attempt to induce
Mexico to take six millions Of dollars in conside-
ration for o new boundary line on the thirty-irst
parallel of latitude to the Gulf of California
The proposition was drawn up with care, the arti-
cles-seven, we believe-were very neatly writ
ten, and signed by Mr. Marcy; and six millions
of dollars was tempting offer to government
poor as Mexico was supposed to be. But all
would not answer. Comonfort is not now in the
market to sell lands, but is buying up church
property and giving mortgages in payment.
1t would have been well for the Cabinet, before
paying the last three million drafts on the Gads-
den purchase, to have reflected on the subject
whether the payment on the order Of Santa Anna
would be the most amiable mode of making
friend Of Comonfort. One good turn deserves
another. You would not give Comonfort the three
millions aforesaid. He will not now take the six
that are offered 1t would have been much better
to have treated Comonfort with the usual dis
tinguished consideration, and perhaps he might
have received the other consideration of six
millions.

MORE LAND, ETC.
WASHINGTON, July is, 1855.
Since Cen Gadsden left town there has been some talk
relative another attempt OF the government 10 pur
chase more Mexican territory. From what can learn,
Mr.. Marcy a short time since drew up proposition
embracing seven articles which he desired Gen Comon-
fort to agree TO- and thus constitute treaty by which
Mexico was surrender the thirty first parallel Of
latitude 10 the Gulf of California, the boun
dairy line Of the two happy republics. For
this land Marcy agreed TO give sir millions
II dollars ccSh This additional slice of territory
would be continuation Of the Acslla purchase.
Our line now down to the thirty 6rst degree but
only touches il, forming triangle, and running north
west 10 point north Of the Gulf OF California by
nng the thirty fret parallel to the gulf several ports
would be gained. But thstaneing the tempting bait
Of 5000 o0o Comonfort refused point blank to have
anything 70 90 with the proposition Secretary Marcy
and Gen. Gasden will therefore have to be satisfied with
the McsHa puschase, the postal treaty and the abolition
Of the tobacco monopoly.

THE PROSPECTS OF NIcARAGuA.-We pub
lish to-day some addiii onal intelligence from
Nicaragua and Two interesting documents
The first is letter from Thomas Lord, Wee
President Of the old Tansit Company to ,lr
Hosea Birdsall, an American citizen and m
agent Of the company. Lord requests Birdsall to
endeavor to obtain the aid of Captain Tareton. Of
her British Majesty's frigate Eurydice, to stop re-
Inducements for Walker during his war with
the bold adventurer who has assumed the reins 81,
power in Nicaragua The document is I'm
portant, inasmuch as il acquits the British go-
vernmcnt Of any participation in the acts az
Captain Tarleton. and shows that the old I1an.il
Company desires to have Walker cut off, roo
and branch, and labored assduously to accom-
plish that end.
At the same time we have the report Of tiie
Commissioners appointed by Walker to arbitrate
between the old Transit Company and The Mica
raguan government They bring in q bill against
Vanderbilt 4 Company Of quarter Of a million
which, Of course, Vanderbilt A Company viii
never pay; and thus the Transit route passc. ato
the hands "a Walker Company.
II does not appear that Walker can sustain
himself in Nicaragua He has established
military despotiHn; but having no moley where
with to pay hi troops or to feed them, h. down
fall seems more than probable. The men who 80
TO Nicaragua now are not the sort Of omgrants
who will develope the resources Of the country
They generally join the army instead Of filling
the soil. They are consumers-not producers.
Such cmmants do not benefit any country. II l.
idle to suppose that the great natural resources
Of Nicaragua can ever be developed while the re-
public il at war with the surrounding states
and constantly torn by internal discussions.
Whether or not the Walker part sill succeed II
maintaining foothold in Nicaragua depend.
upon the amount of business transacted by the
company that now controls the Transit route. u
they succeed in securing moieiy Of the Califor-
MIA travel. they may, possibly, maintain their
ground: but until they can restore peace TO the
State. within and without her borders, they car
give no real security TO life aud property and
therefore their route will be shunued by ne
pcaceable and profitable portion d the travelling
community.
The work which Walker has filled to do, will,

the platform of the republican candidate, for our
disappointed Senator has openly proclaimed in

and the Charleston Mercury, the leading organ Of

ton. In fact, W. H. Seward, the secession demo-
crazy and the Massachusetts abolitionists must
all be classed together. Fremont was not the
choice of Seward and his nomination was the
defeat of Seward Fremont is not acceptable to

In this view, W. can hardly resist the concin-
