WASHINGTON. Nov. %, 1855


The government is anxious that the steam
ers Atlanta and Caledonia should sail imme-
dately, and the hope is expressed that Gene
eral Paez and suite may be ready to leave to-
morrow.
General Maguan, of Mexico, has come on
not to ask a loan for the Juarez govern
ment from our government, but to negotiate
one with New York capitalists. pledging the
lands of Sonora as security. Mr.. Mata be-
fore he left, received a proposition, but did
not close with the parties. On arriving at
Vera Cruz, and submitting the proposition to
President Juarez and his Cabinet, it was ac-
cepted. 1t is said the amount is five millions
of dollars. Mr.. Maguan started Immediately
for the United States, and Mr.. Mata arrived
at New Orleans since, and is now on his way
TO Washington and New York to complete
the contract 1t is said this arrangement, by
furnishing the sinews of war, will be the
means of establishing firmly the power of the
constitutional party.
Mexico to the 18th inst, it seems that Gen.
Znloaga, after having been refused a direct
subsidy of a million of dollars from the cler-
gy, had obtained that amount from the house
of Rothschild 4 Isidoro Zorre, pledging the
titles of houses of the church, in the city as
security. If the amount be not paid at the
time stipulated the property is to be forfeited
for that sum. Juarez has protested against
the negotiation.
The clergy of Mexico sent, about year
ago, an agent of high position to England,
France and Spain, TO obtain favor and assist
ance from these powers to change Mexico into
a monarchy and to place a son of Don. Car
los on the throne. The British government
refusf d 10 enter into the scheme. Louis
Napoleon secretly favored it, as did also the
Spanish government. Had England assent
ed, and been willing to risk the consequen
ces with the United States. there is no doubt
the attempt would have been made.
The real purpose of such a large fleet Of
Spanish and French war vessels on the coast
of Mexico is for an object beyond that of
pressing claims or redressing injuries TO
Spanish or French subjects. Such large
force for such pretended purpose is unneees-
sary. The fact is, Notwithstanding the as
surances of the Ministers of these nations to
General Cass that there is no design to make
conquests or to seize the Territory Of Mexico,
ami that it is only the exercise OF a right of
redress, this is but pretence to cover d.
rect intervention in the affairs of Mexico.
The sooner our government understands this
the better

ROBERT OwEN.-Our telegraphic advices
report the death of Robert Owen, late Amer
lean Minister at Naples" We will take the
liberty of reading it correctly and of re-
garding it as announcement of the death of
Robert Owen, the veteran theorist and phil
osopher of New Lanark who had been for
some time very i'll, and in advanced age. His
son, Robert Dale Owen, late minister at
Naples, and formerly representative from
Indiana, and one of the most architectural
members of his day in Congress, took the first
opportunity, on being released at Naples by
the arrival of his successor, Joseph X. Chand-
Ter, to visit his aged father in England. Our
English exchanges have prepared us to expect,
at any moment. the decease of Robert Owen,
from reports given of the state of his health,
and in consideration of his age. He was
born in l77l, and lived varied and eventful
life. which will furnish rich material TO some
historian of human opinion aud theoretical
reform-ChdriestoH Courier.

Mo-. about two weeks ago, when the follow

not altogether consistent with the dignity of

TO lose a valuable negro boy. who ran away
from his master and was soon heard of in

sequently compelled to return home without
his property.-Aanphis BsIlatn.

The Railroad Connections of Nash.
vile.


Your correspondent "B" who has reviewed
the articles of Jay, on the railroad connec-
tons of Nashville, misunderstands. if he sup
poses Jay desired to elicit sympathy" for
either of the roads mentioned. His object
was to arouse to do her duty, by aiding all
the unfinished roads to speedy completion,
and thereby secure to herself not only the
great benefits that accrue to such enterprises.
but also relief from the heavy tax assumed
by her citizens on their behalf. Every one
knows that the roads if completed, will take
the tax from our shoulders, but on the con-
trary, if we allow them to fail or stop short
of their design for want of assistance, the
tax will continue for years. The sooner
they are completed the better for Nashville.
Her citizens are able to carry them through
without delay, if they desire. Why should
"B" so fear another tax. Taxation is the
only proper method by which to raise funds
for internal improvements. Every citizen by
that means feels personal interest in the
improvement, and will exert his influence for
its success.
ing in Nashville even the Tennessee and
Alabama will be completed eventually. with
out further aid from her citizens, but that is
no reason why they should not aid them still
further. l repeat that if they allowed the
Tennessee and Alabama road to stop as it
has short of its original Southern terminus,
and do not aid to an early completion the
Nashville and Northwestern road our city
will suffer. if not a permanent loss of trade,
a heavy decrease. We have already suffered.
If Nashville can afford it, and is willing
supinely to allow these inroads upon her
commerce by neighboring communities, why
Jay will make her an apology for his imper
tinent reflections. Suppose, as "B' says the
connections formed at Columbia by the
Tennessee and Alabama and the Central
Southern roads, are as important as any that
could be made by extending the Tennessee
and Alabama road rs originally chartered:
does that establish the conduct of the Ten
nessee and Alabama Railroad Company, in
stopping their road at Mt Pleasant, or any
other place than at its connection with the
great line of road from New Orleans as orig
nially agreed on? The Tennessee and Ala
hama Company, by asking an amendment to
their charter and then accepting it, seems to
JAY effectively to impair the obligation of
the contract which that company entered into
with the citizens of Davidson County when
they voted upon themselves tax of $780,
600 as aid in the construction of that road.

Bending with queenly grace;

But that rival is her face.
Black her tresses, and as glossy ar d

Yet unbound and loosely flowing
Treble charms around her fling.
Dark those matchless eyes, and beaming
With the smiles by Fancy wrought,
