As,ounding Developments.

From the Washington Republic, Nov. 3.
Gen. Gadsden, our late Minister to
Mexico, in communication to the Charls-
ton Mercury, under date of October 22,
introduces letter to himself, dated Oct
a, from on American correspondent at the
city of Mexico, who, he says ''enjoys the
most favorable opportunities of obtaining
information on the American diplomacy
practiced in Mckee, and is, "a discerning
and most discreet" observer of events.
The correspondent, whose opportunities
to know and intelligence to understand are
vouched for. affirms that 1.-THE Minister
| (Mr. Forsyth is instructed to offer to pur-
chase territory larger than the whole Of TIE
Southern States
This confirms our warning to the coun-
try, few days ago. that some ''magnt-
icent" Mexican treaties were in process OF
CESSATION.
1t is true that Gen. Gadsden's cores pom
dent doubts if Mexico will sell any more
territory, and that he considers the sum
offered, which he says "does not reach
halfthe amount at which real property is
assessed in South Carolina" to be mad
equate, and not likely to accomplish the
object All this, however, is matter OF
opinion, and it is to be noted that the cor
respondent writes in complaining spir
of the Administration, at not being
disposed to do enough. or go far enough,
for the "interest of the South in this bu-
siness.
The reference to the assessed value oil
real property in South Carolina gives
about fifty millions of dollars as the sun
probably offered by Mr.. Buchanan This
may be said to be moderate, being only
| half what the same man offered for Cuba
nine years ago.
Now, are the people of this country
willing to be robbed of their money, will
! they permit their treasury to be plnndered
or will they suffer great debts to be pileSl
up, for the sake of securing to certain
interest what General Gadsden's cores
pondcnt calls. most significantly. a "Nev

The telegraph tells us that rumor has
reached New York. that Governor WAL
xER and Secretary STANTON, of Kansas,
have been compelled by the violence of the
pro-slavery party, excited by the rejec
ton of the fraudulent returns, to fee from
Lecompton. This is not strictly accurate.
WALKER is sick at STATIONS house, two
miles from Lecompton, and there is fierce
and dangerous feeling among the Democra-
cy against him; so menacing in,Iecd is it
that he causes himself to be guarded by
". s. troops, and so apparent is his dan
ger, that the free State fighting boys of
Lawrence volunteered to protect him.
But he has respectfully declined their offer
Of aid, and is devoting himselfto recovery
and recuperation from and after an attack
of the chills and fever. Dispatches from
Washington say that Walker and Stanton
are to be forced to resign, as the admins
tration does not endorse their high-handed
proceedings in rejecting the returns of Ok
ford Precinct, Johnston County, which
were carefully compiler from Williams
Cincinnati Directory, and would have Civ
EN- the Democracy majority in the Legis-
lature. Such conduct as the rejection OF
that fifty-four foot poll book can never be
forgiven by an Administration devoted to
the dissemination of Democratic principles.
A striking parallel might be drawn be-
tween the career Of Walker as Governor OF
Kansas and that of GEARY. The latest
and most significant similitudc between
the positions in which they respectively
found themselves is in their collisions with
the Judiciary. Geary and Lecompte had a
tug of war. and now Walker and Cato are
at swords points. 1t will be remembered
that LEcoNrTE and his bankers crushed Gca-
ry. 1t is not improbable but Cato will be
toe strong for Walkcr.-Cin. Com.

The Penn syi,ania Bunk.
PHILADELPHIA, November 9.

PHILADELPHIA, N0vem0ery.
At meeting of the stockholders Of the
Pennsylvania Bank, held this mornir.s,
William g. Patterson, who had been ap-
pointed President of the Bank, to succeed
Allibonc, was called upon to make state
ment. lie said that no statement could be
made that he would be willing to put his
signature to; that the funds of the bank had
been used in improper transactions; that the
condition of the hank was better known
by the public outside than by the officers
inside, and that the books had been falsi-
fed.
Mr.. Patterson declines the Presidency,
and all the Directors have resigned except
Allibone, who has left the country.
If the bank goes into an assignment now,
no man can say that the debts of the bank
will be paid; bit, if carefully nursed. the
bank may be resusitated.
As meager and unsatisfactory ms this
statement appears. it is the only one that
can be made, as there arc no data by which
to go.
Bills receivable have been sold by the
President. and the funds distracted in divers
ways. Money taken out and charged to
different accounts, as the President direct
ed; and, also. large transactions of the
President, unknown to the Directors, have
! Just come to light.
Resolutions were adopted, and a com.
mit.ee appointed Of five of the larges
stockholders to reccommed proper Direc
tors, and also to report to what extent TIKI
capital of the bank has been impaired by
the authorized or fraudulent acts of thu
late President. or the names OF any alder
or abettors in such fraudulent act, and de
claring the seat of A1libone vacant.
John M. Duttsn, Of the firm of Austin
i Allibone u Co., made defense of the lat
President, and said that he would return t,
America, to answer the charges, and in
quired if Patterson could give no figures
and why a suit had been brought agains
AlIibone for S200, 900. His speech wa
missed; and, the speaker proceeding wit
much difficulty, further stated that Ali
! bono, three weeks after accepting the Pres
idency, said that, il he had known the con
dition of the bank, he could not have bee
tempted to accept.
/ Patterson, in reply. stated that all th
4 Directors on oath, testified, that Albion
/ had used 800 600 improPerly.
Mach disorder prevailed, and cries

Among the cars on one of the express
trains on the New York Central Railroad
lately. was one of new construction, pat
entcd by L. II. Woodworth, ofAlton, Ill.,,
and manufactured by L. w. WATSON Il
Co., Springfield, Mass. The principle PEE
cularity of this car is. that the SEATS are SO
constructed as to be readily converted into
sleeping berlhs. There are also bcrths
suspended against the sidcsoftho :, in sncl
manner that when occasion requires, it
may be turnel into sleeping room. with
tier of double breths and tier Of single
ones on each side.
when the pacific Railroad is finished,
trains may be provided with one car for
cooking, and the others of this pattern, b,
which means passengers may be carriee
from ST. Louis to San Francisco, without
stopping for rest or refreshment.
LArEsT.-Walker has no doubt LEFT
Kansas. He has gone to Washington tc
defend himself.

E We have not received a Chicago
paper since Saturday. Every time the
roads change their running time it causes a
arrangement of the mails. The govern

thing now is little less than an absolute
nuisance. Private companies could ac-
commodate the public more faithfully. sat

New York has probably gone Democrat

operated to produce this result, we have
no fears Of the State in the next election for
members of Congress. and in the great
struggle of 1860. We are inclined to re-
gard the defeat of the Republicans of New
