The Texas Regiment proposition at last got
through the Senate to-day. Here is an expense Of
a million year initiated for the Texas frontier,
which will probably go on indefinitely when once
begun. Senator Wilson said the bill was necessary
TO prevent Gov. Houston from Invading Mexico.
Let him invade. It is "paying dear for the
whistle"--a million dollars a year to hold him by
the cost-tai.
THE PACIFIC TELEGRAPH.
There is good prospect that the newly-proposed
telegraph to the Pacific will be built. Congress is
likely to do what is necessary to insure it, success.
The old grant of land to Alden & Eddy for line
tbther was found inadequate 10 the purpose.
PERSONAL.
Senator Iverson of Ga. has lately been very
bUsily on the track of some gentlemen of the lobby
who have reported his vote to have been sold on
one OF more measures of the last Congress.
MIR. CURRY's SPEECH.
Mr.. Curry's demonstrate in the House to-day
was listened to by all with great attention through
out. He went the whole figure on the Slavery
question, demanding that shareholders should be
allowed to carry their slaves int, the States as well
as the Territories and denouncing Mr.. DO .glas as
too bitter pill for the South to swallow. The
speech was temperate in language though radical in
sentiment, and marked by great logical force and
precision of statement. 1t prefsdrea the doom of
Mr.. Douglas at Charleston with alarming dis
tinctuess.
Mr.. Hickman tried to get the floor to-day to fol-
low Mr.. Curry. Messrs. Sedgwick and Humphrey
of n. Y, Washbun of Wis. and Stanton of Ohio,
are ready to speak as as they can get the floor
Mr. Hickman will confne himself to the aggres-
sions of the South upon the North.
THE POsT.OFFICE BLANKS.
The Senate to. day by joint resolution suspended
the Fifth Section of the Post Office Appropriation
bill for letting out the Post Office blanks to the
lowest bidder. In the House the resolution is re-
ferred to the Committee on Printing. The resolu-
ton is intended to give Mr.. Bowman, Senate Prin-
ter, fat job. 1t ought not to pass.
DEPARTURE OF MIR. M'LANE.
Minister McLane left this morning, charged with
the duty of protecting the interests of our citizens
in Mexico To this end the services Of the Gulf
Squadron are at his disposal No danger is appre.
hended of collision with any of the great maritime
Powers. Should any of them attempt to intervene
in Mexican affairs against the Liberal Government,
our naval forces will sustain the authorities recog-
nized by the United States The war steamer
Brooklyn will sail with Minister McLane and Con-
sui Pickett on board. for Vera Cruz, tomorrow
morning. Senior Ocampo is daily expected to ar
rive in this country. He was to have sailed from
Vera Cruz on 9TH inst The friends of the Mexican
treaty anticipate such aid from his counsel as
Premier of the Juarez Government as will bring
about settlement of affairs between the two Re-
publcs. 1t is supposed he will come charged with
powers to authorize such notifications 10 the treaty
as are necessary to its success. The supposition
will undoubtedly prove unfOunded.
