commercial marine, is a humiliating corn mentary on the political sagacity and com mercial enterprise of our country. When we consider the commerce of the Gulf of -Mexico alone, foreign and coastwise, which is thus left defenceless to foreign cannon-a commerce which concentrates near the mouth of the Mississippi piore .property than human industry and enter prise have ever elsewhere gi"en, by a sin gle outlet to the sea, and when we reflect on the disorder and distress by the obstruc tion of that commerce, that would pevrado all the walks of life amongst twenty mil lions of people who inhabit this laud, the neglect of the governtent becomes still more surprising and inexplicable. Congress, however. at its last session, passed an act for the transportation of Foreign Mails, and gave the Postmaster General power to contract with steamers for that purpose. We are informed that an offer has been made to the Government for the establishment of a line of steamers from New York to Galveston, under ti is law, and at a rate so reasonable as to be paid by.tho postego ol the .route alone. The line to consist of e ght vessels, all to be surrendered td the government when war begins. These vessels besides touch ing at all our own important ports upon the route, would likewise stop at some of the principal ports of the West Indies this giving facility and extension to our intercourse with those fertile and wealthy islands. We trust that the new administration which has taken such bold grounds in - relation to the rigntsof the country contro verted by foreign power, will lose no time in perfecting the details of this policy so essential to our commerce, either in peace or war. Froni the N. 0. Picayune, I Ilh inst. LATER FROM TEXAS. The steamship New York, Captain Wright, arrived here yesterday frotn Gal veston, whence she sailed on the Sth last. She brings us papers from Galveston to the 7th. Among her passengers were Major Donelson, the U. S. Churge, and Gov. Yell, of Arkansas. There is no limit to the cntbusiasm of the people of Texas in regard to annexa tion. The only trouble with them appears to be, whether to meet in Convention and form a Constitution for "the State of Texas" pi ior or subseqent to the meeting of Congress. This is a fertile theme for the several editors. To show the disposi tion of the President of Texas, we make a short extract from the Morning Star of the 341 inst., published at Houston : { We rejoice to say tl.at ne have the most positive evidence that the President and a majority of the members of his Cabinet are anxious to act with the utmost harmony with the people, and will cordi ally co-operate with them, in their ef'orts to consummate this great 'measure at the earliest practicable period. 'The Ilon. E. Allen, the acting Secreta ry of State. arrived at louton on the 23d ult. The Telegraph asscres us that ie is an ardent friend of annexation, and is desirous that "' the great mneasure should be consummated at the earliest practicable period."

A black man, fireman, who was near the safety valve at the time, was so badly in jured that Ite died shortly after the acci dent. It is a fortunate circumstanee that no other persons were near the boiler at the time.

Mlercury The Secretary of the Treasury-The Tarif.--A recent -number of the Wash ington Union, giving a glance at thte doitngs of the different Departtments, has the fol lowing remarks on the most important of all. Trhe Secretary of the Treasury is pro verbial for his industry, attd marked for his sagacity. He, too, is constant itn the execution of his duties; and it gives us much pleasure to state, than we ca 'wvell express, that he is actively engaged in col lecting from all parts of the country every information that may be necessary to as sist hitm in the management of ottr finan ces. WVe have no doubt that he will be prepared to--lay before Congress a large body of the most useftul statistics, so as to enable them, 'vithoum loss of. time and wvith the aid of te best materials, to pro ceed in fortming the best, and wisest, and msost nearly equal system of revenue that catn be adopted. We have little doubt that the Secretary will at least do his part in bringing the treasury back to a fair, equalizing the public burdens. The pres ent tariff can scarcely stand as the perma nent system of this great country. t is tor, unequal.in itself-too oppressive upon some interests, too partial to others-too favorable to the rich, too burdensome to the poorer classes of the community. The sooner it is reduced, the better for all. It is better even for the manufacturers them selves to understand on what they are to calculate. It is better for the rich capital. ists to have moderate and stable duties, than those which are too high, and, on that account, never fixed. but always unpopu lar and always fluctuating. It is better for the tranquility of the administration better for the prosperity of the whole peo ple. We look with anxious interest to every indication of the course of the Adminis tration on the Tariff. After so many ship wrecks, we are not easy of faith ; but none will more heartily rejoice in the consum tmation of an honest policy,-none will sustain with warmer truer aid, any effort to carry out the principle of a revenue ta riff,-none will acknowledge a deeper debt of gratitude to those who shall lead in tho reform, than the people of South Carolina. They will hold its authors to be the deliverers of the country. Charleston Mercury. From the Charleston Mercury. The following announcement ,appears in the last N. Y. Herald. For ourselves, we have no faith in it, and under all the circumstances, think it of mighty little importance whether it is true or not. What interests us far more, is the state ment in the last South Carolinian that M r. Calhoun's health is quite restored. HIaHLY IMPORTANT FROM WAStINGTON. John C.. Calhoun probably going to England. Oregon and a Com mercial Treaty. We received from Washington last eve ning, by sa private and well infbrned cor respondent; who has the best means of in formation, some intelligence on the.move ments of the administration of Mr. Polk, of great and increasing importance in the present critical position of our relations with England on the Oregon and other quest ions. We are informed that Mr. Polk has under advisement a project to appoint on a special mission to England, John C. Calhoun, of S. Carolina, with extraordi nary powers and large discretion, to treat with that Government, botb on the Oregon territory and a Commercial treaty, on the basis of reciprocity and equal duties. We are assured also that Mr. Calhoun will certaimly accept such a mission, although he refused the ordinary mission, a few months ago. 1: will be recollected that this mission the ordinary grade-has been successively ofmered to,. and refused by, both Messrs. Elmore and Pickens, of South Carolina. The refusal of both these gentlemen have been caused by the belief among the southern statesiren, that in the present crisis of the country, and particularly since the recent position of the British Government, as assumed by Sir Robert Peel, has been announced, no man posses tes the peculiar and happy characteristics for such a mission, in so eminent a degree as Mr, Calhoun. A rumor was iv circu lation some time ago in this ciy that Mr. Van Buren was to be ullei=ed such a mis sion. This rumor was, however. started bysome of his partisans here, who -had an inkling that the President preferredl Mr. Calhoun. It is well kimen that on the inauguration of Mr. Polk, the same mission was offered ito Mr. Clhouni-buit the relations of the Ujiited States with England were not ihent in the menacing condition that they are now, nor did they require such position and force of charac ter in the Envoy that-might be appointed to negotiate. T1*he apple is tnow ripe. Mr. Calhoun is peculiarly fi4t:ed' for th-is great mission. H ii sentiments on the Ore - gon qutestion are known, a.d comnmaui confidence at thie North and armong~ the cornimercial-cla;sses. ElIo opinious ou rhe tarifi and the principles of reciproeity, carry the whole South. Trhe selection or this great statesmatn for such a missions would also seem to indicate that a new light had broken over the councils of Mr.. Polk-. We hope it mnay be so.

The English ministry attempt to.make out their title to Oregon by right of dis covery, when Spain, lromt whom te de rive title, not only discovered but possessed the country as far as Nootka Sound, (north latitude 49,) and our treaty with Russia fixes the northern boundary at 54 4U north latitude. Our souttern boundary with Spain, and next with Mexico is 4z nortlh lat. The mouth of the Columbia is about 46d. north lat. By discovery, by actual. pobsessiot in 1811, in advance of any En glish settlement, and by purchase from Spain and France we became the propri etors of the territory. At the close of the Revolutionary war England did not pre tend to have any claim to Oregon, and as late as 1926, ste oflered to extend the eastern Rocky Mountain boundary fixed at the close of the war (49d north lat.) to the Pacific, asking at the same time a transler of our rights north of that line to lat. 54, as defined in our treaty with Rus sia. This would have given England five degrees, and the U. States seven degrees of territory. But our government very properly rejected the proposition, which has been again renewed, we have reason to believe, by the Mlinister now at Wash ingion. The London Times says that -the tone of Mr. Pslk's address does not. lead us to suppose that her would even ad here to the ultimatum [extending the boun dary along 49d north lat.] of 1826, and the Times is right. Although that line would give us the l~ee niavigation of the Mtultuo mah and Lewis's Rivers, (the great south erm tributaries of the Columbiat,) and the Uolumnbia for two to three hundred miles' from its mouth, it would exclude us frotm the northern half of thte Columtbia river. and frotm Clark's river, its great tributatry, as weil as fromt Nootka -Sound and seve rel valuable harbors along the coast. Jus tiee to piosterity resqueres great sacrifices to retain tha't territory, and however much we may widi an atmicable settement by negotiation, we cannot see how our guy crnment would lhe justified int givintg up any part of it. Discov~enj of Ancient Treasure.Mie learn fromn a source which we thtink enti tIed to full credit, that a large deposit of silver coin was discovered about two weeks sitte Ott rte East batik of the Altannahn River, about five mile< below the jiatction of the Ocmuilgee & Oconee, in Tfatnall countty.

OBITUARY, Died.at his residence in Abbeville District, on the 13th instant, TaoxAs A . Mon-To., Esq., in the 57th year of his age. The deceased was t native of the State of Virginia, but for several years a restident in this District. until his removal into Abbeville, in Decentber last. Few men have passed throntgh the various scenes ol - life with less difficulties, and secured the permanent friendship ofa lar ger immber of friends, than lie. In the year 1831, (a year dear in the memutoy of' many,) he was enabled to repose his coifidence in the Savior of sinners, and attached himself to the Baptist .Chnrch of Christ at Bethany, of which he continued a consistent member until his death. But a short time after he had made a public professiot of his fioth in the Saviour, that faith was called into exercise in the severe irials through which lie had to pass. Within a few weeks ie had to surrender to God who gave themt all his children, save an only son still sur vives. Amongst these, (four or five ini tnin. ber) was an amiable and promising suit, whfo had just compleied his edueation in our State College, atnd was expecting to enter izto the ministry of the Gospel-. tie, ho~wevcr. who thus heavily aifflicted hias,~ gave stre.ngtht ac cordintg to his day, and grace suflicient for his trials, '-It is the Lord, let himt do wtuat seemnethi him good."

An now thtat wife anid that son arc called to mnont his death. In his case the language of the Scripnires' was most illus triously exeumhfied, "The righteouts hath htope ini his'death.' - His health had beeti fmeeb lihr four or five months previous to htis death, and his system greatly reduced by disease. lie had-upprehtension' of rtis-decease', and-expressed himself willing to depart. belieinm: that .Jesus would be with him int the tryintg-hotr, anid "a terward' receivehima to glory "The writer of this otie had austiort but pleasantt interview wvith- him a feuv dhys' before his delurturc, itt which lie expressed- his enitire conidiience in .Jesuts Christ as at all-snffcie-nt and wIelding daviur.
