Chapters on Old Texans—6, and last.
BY AM ERIC AN US.
Mr. Item : We find the colonists
again rallying, with their usual alacrity,
around the Lone Star Banner, as it was
once more unfurled on the banks of the
Guadalupe. But Santa Ana's liungry
hounds had drank deep of Anglo-Saxon
blood. Like an avalanche from the
mountains, they came rushing on. It
was deemed rashness for our little army
to attempt to stay them in their desolating
m
course; and as the last feeble hope of his kid,'uperhap7 it ain't out yet.
Texas s owly retired from river to river, rector spoke of it last Sunday, as a
before the overwhelming masses, its ranks duction
were daily thinned. When they reached
the Brasos, hundreds had left, to look af-
ter their houseless, wandering families.—
Many had already passed the smouldering
Solomon's Song."—It is rumored
that a gentleman in fair and regular stan-

churches, entered one of the leading mu-
sic stores recently, and stated his wishes
in this wise :
"Have you Solomon's Song ? I want
to get a copy."
"'-V—no," said the salesman, not being
able to recollect at the moment any li-
thographed sheet with that title, u
am afraid not."
"Ah," said the amateur, drawing on

The shopman, with what gravity he
could command, regretted that they had

ruins of their habitations, not knowing just in season to save the vest buttons of
whither the dear inmates had fled. But the book-keeper at the desk, behind the

Two-thirds of the army of San Jacinto
were old Texans, and the remainder were
volunteers from the United States. Un-
like many who had preceded them, they
df-h*rmmed to make Texas
their home, or water its soil with their
blood. United hand and heart with their
brothers, they nobly acquitted themselves.
Liberally has the country rewarded them,
and never will her old citizens forget the
timely aid of those generous spirits in the
gloomiest period of our history. The
Victory at San Jacinto again brought peaee
and the lowering clouds, which had so
long linng .suspended in the east, by the
deadly strife that was going on in front,
were now seen in motion, and ere long,
their foul contents were showered upon

was inundated with filthy, worthless rags
from the swindling mills of Uucle Sam,
and the blighting simoom of speculation,
drank up the substance of our people.
But once more, in the fall of 1842, a
Mexican army of fifteen or sixteen hun-
dred invaded Texas, they were promptly
•net, and as usual, defeated in the battle
of Salado, by a hastily collected force of
two or three hundred, nearly all of whom
were old settlers, under the veteran Cald-
well, or as the boys used to call him in
1835, "Old Roan." One entire compa-
ny, headed by the lamented Dawson, who
had come up during the engagement, and
were endeavoring to force their way
through the Mexican columns, as the lit-

two escaping. Thus, Mr. Item, have old
Texans, always died fighting to the last,
whenever the welfare of the country was
at stake. The victory of Salado did not
however wind up the ball for this season.
Those restless spirits who now filled Tex-
as to overflowing, had not yet showed
their prowess. The enemy must be hum-
bled, and they were the fit instruments,

The Rio Grande is now to the United

Why, sir, from the same old hive that has I
$br many years sent forth those sickly
swarms whose buzzings have scarcely ev-
er been heard by Mexico, but whose
stings have in several cases proved near-
ly fatal to Texas. I deem it useless to
recapitulate. None who are acqsaiuted
with the history of our country, or with
the transactions of the revolution, can
accuse me of partiality. Texas has re-
ceived many favors from the United
States, and although the brand of repu-
diation, inherited, too, from her great

Englai .—The steamer Adelaide, lo sail
from London to Australia, was to take out
three hundred and fifty thousand pounds in
sovereigns. The insurance demanded at
first was only twenty per cent., but after-
wards, owing to the large amount to be cov-
ered—nearly four hundred and fifty thou-
sand pounds, including the vessel ami car-
go—thirty-live per cent, was ultimately de-
manded and paid.
The new Cnuard steamer Arabia was ex-
pected in the Mersey oil the day the Cana-
da sailed, and would sail for New York on
the 1st of January, under command of Capt.
Judkins.
The London pape's give currency to the
report brought by the last steamer, that the
Russians have met with a most disastrous
defeat in Circassia. The former, it is stated,
lost thirty thousand men and one hundred
guns in a battle with the united Circassian
force under the leadership of Schamil Bey.
The London Times, of the 9th, has an ar-
ticle on the Cuban question, which goes on
to argue that the important plea put forth
by the Cuban junta in the United States that
the Cuban people desire annexation, is an
assumption to which it cannot give cred-
ence. and then says:
"We regard, therefore, the cry of Cuban
independence, which is raised in the Uni-
ted States by a few renegade subjects of
the Queen of Spain, as a pretence to cover,
in some degree, the prevailing passion of
the Americans themselves. It is not to our
ej us a question of first importance to foreign
powers to whom Cu a may belong; and if
the Court of Spain thought proper to sell its
interest in the island, as it sold some por-
tions of the continent, we could advance no
tenable objection against such a measure.—
But the means taken to promote this object,
are of lar greater moment than the object,
and it is for this reason that we have found
ourselves compelled to deal with it in terms
which have not increased our popularity be-
yond the Atlantic. There is, however, no
hostility to the United States, and no jeal-
ousy of their power, but rather an honest
concern for their character and their wel-
fare. in the remonstrances we have some-
times presumed to address to them "
Ireland.—It is said that of sixty super-
numerary clerks employed in the Dublin
custom-house, the services of no less than
one-halt are to be dispensed with after tiie
month of April next, and the other half will
receive permanent engagements. It is fur-
ther said thai the Government have olfered
to the clerks about to be dismissed, a free
passage to the Australian colonies, with
leave to such as are married to carry their
wives and families with them on-the same
easy terms. '
The Belfast Mercury says that the Elec-
tric Telegraph Company of Ireland have
sent wire to this town to lay between Do-
naghadee and Belfast, and that they are get-
ting the machinery ready to make another
and a better cable, which they propose lay-
ing across the channel when the earliest fa-
vorable weather presents itself.
A gentleman named Moystyn, late a lieu-
tenant in the 16th Ryoal Irish, has been tri-
Our correspondent learns that not only
the subject of the North American fisheries,
but the question of reciprocity and the free
navigation of the St. Lawrence, engaged
the attention of the negotiators. It is a
matter of great importance to our commer-
cial interests that the old restrictive policy
between the United States and the British
Colonies in North America should be an-
nulled, and superseded by a liberal system,
more consonant to the feelings and wants of
the present day ; and the conclusion and rat-
ification of a treatv tending towards reci-
v O
prucity with the provinces would undoubt-
edly be hailed with satisfaction by the mer-
cantile classes of both countries. But will
this new treaiy answer the purpose?
It is also stated that the question between
this government and the H udson's Bay Com-
pany has been taken up by Mr. Everett. It
is known that the Hudson's Bay Company
are entitled to certain possessory rights in
Oregon, extending to a point within our ter-
ritory, and embracing several foils and set-
tlements. all of which they have proposed
ceding to the United States, in consideration
of the round sum of a million of dollars.—
Some years since, negotiations were opened
on the subject; but the demand of the com-
pany was considered exorbitant, and the
matter war permitted to fall to the ground.
It is a matter solely between our govern-
ment and the Hudson's Bay Company.
If the terms of sale and transfer be agreed
on between the company and our govern-
ment. it needs not these terms to meet the
approbation of the British government, ex-
I cept to require their official recognition and
endorsement ol" the transfer de facto, so tar
as the English subjects are interested.
We shall look with ?otne impatience to
the promulgation oi the terras of the new
treaty. Alter its ratification by the British
government, it will belaid before the Sen-
ate of the United States, when the country
will have an opportunity of judging of its
merits, and when we will probably be much
edified by the discussions which will take
place in that body as to its final adoption.
Will the Senate ratify it within the few
weeks of the advent of a new administra-
tion ?—N. Y. Herald.

The New Treaty with England.

the questions which have of iate attracted
so much of public attention in this country
and Canada. Our telegraphic despatches
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad.
It appears that an association of engineers,
capitalists and financiers ol the State oi
New York. has been formed for the purpose
of constructing lite road. The Washington
correspondent of the Journal of Commerce
gives an outline of the project in his letter
of the 28th ult. He says :
This association will be prepared next
week to submit to Congress, in a formal
manner, a project, which has already been
brought to the notice of many members,
and has been approved by them—for con-
structing ' A military and Post Road from
the valley of the Mississippi river to San
Francisco, in California, or other place on
the Pacific ocean." The company consists
of men of the most enterprising character,
and the greatest amount of practical infor-
mation, and the widest influence and credit
and the largest wealth in New York.—
They are to be chartered as a company by
the New York Legislature.
Several agents of the association have al-
ready visited Washington, and conferred
with members of both Houses, and have
been invited to bring forward their project
Mr. Chatfield Mr. McAlpine, and Gen.
Clarke were here for some days, as agents
of the association, and were probably among
its principal projectors.
The details of their scheme are yet
ject to some alteration ; but. in a word, they
propose to relieve Congress of all difficulty
as to the location of the road, by selecting
the route themselves. They oiler to make
the road within five years, and by that time
to have it in complete operation. They ask
of the Government no public lands except
what may be necessary for the purposes ol
the road. They undertake to procure the
assent of every State or States, within the
boundaries of which the road may pass.—
They ask of Congress the loan of thirty mil-
lions, to be issued in five per cent, stock,
and delivered lo the company as they pro-
gress with the road, at the rate of fifteen
thousand dollarsa mile. Thus, upon the
completion and furnishing with necessary
appaiatus for travel, fifty continuous miles,
they are to receive .stock to the amount of
seven hundred and fifty thousaud dollars.
The company are to pay off the loan in 30
years, and in failure thereof,the government
is to take possession of the road and its ap-
purtenances. ' The government may also,
at the end of twenty years, purchase the
road and take possession of it, on payment
to the company of the actual cost.
. The company shall construct a single line
of magnetic telegraph along the ehtire line
of the road, so as to be ready lor operation
oil the completion of the rond. The com-
pany is to carry messages of the govern-
ment wi hout charge : and they are also to
transport the mails ol the United States and
mail agents, troops, ordnance, etc.

Qjp* Numerous and skillful instructors
regard the Arithmetics of Professor Ray as
the most simple progressive, methodical
and thorough class books on the subject
ever before olfered to American teachers;
and they ace at least twenty per cent, cheap-
er than other Arithmetics of like size, aud
of an equal amount of matter. These vol-

compliance with the solicitation of many
friends of education, who were cognizant of

and academies; a simple, progressive,
aud elementary treatise.

students in academies, and lor colleges ;

The great excellence of Ray's Arithmetics
warranted the expectation ttiat an Algebra

bra has the approbation of the most judi-
cious educators, and is superseding all oth-
ers in many ot the best schools in the Uni-
ted States.
Each part of the Arithmetical Course,
as well as the Algebraic, is a complete book in.
itself, and is sold separately.
All the foregoing books have been com-
piled expressly for the Eclectic Educational

ers—men of acknowledged ability and learn-
ing, who have long been identified with,
and have constantly labored for, the ad-
