ANOTHER MEXICAN OUTRAGE. Tbe Tel-
egraph contains information that Col. James Powers
has been captured at his residence at Live Oak Pojrit
and taken together with his gocdi to Malamo'ras.
He was an old and highly eieemed settler.
Will our goverpmenl continue supine? and the of-
ficial journal continue to parade evidences that the
"frontier protection bill'.' which passed over the veto
still left the President power to defeat any aetive op-
'erations against Mexico?
The Telegraph notices that "wild Tea" has been
discovered in-the neighborhood of Houston the leaves
of which so nearly resemble in taste odor and form
those of the common Young Hyicn that it would be
difficult to distinguish them fiom each other.
W-'have received the Planters' Gaxelte or 8th

The Gazette gives an account of the arrival at Co-
lumbia during the week ending the 8th or between
four and five hundred bales of cotton besides other
commodities to wit; bides peltries &c. There
were ihree modes of conveyance the steamer Mus-
tangbeing her foutth trip to Washington and back;
CapL Gregg's keel boat from three hundred miles
ly the rivet above Washington; and fifty gum elas-
tic floaters Winging 83 bales cotton.. The latter
would w'.th slight improvement have brought three
tiers 160 bales is well. The floaters were introdu-
ced into this country by Messrs. Smith & Adrianee
end will no doubt be of immense utility in our shal-
low streams.
The successful expeti'mentsjn navigation on the Bra
zos the present season are calculated lo bring into I
market a solid body of bne land unsurpassed in ex-
tent and fertility we imarjnein ihe known world.
. Our esteemed Ex-Prtsiilcnt General Lamar returned in
Ihe Neptune. Wt are happy lo number him a moot the
citizens of Galseston. He bas chosen this city as bit
future residence and no discoungcmei ta here or induce-
ments abroad could for a moment wean his affections from
the country of bis adoption.
SANTA ANNA'S PROPOSITION.
. 'The Government organ In commenting on
the course bit excellency tbe Preaident is like-
ly to pursue with regnrd to re-annexing Tex-
as to Mexico seems to think hit Jiat whatever
it may be will settle tbe question aa though
there were but one branch of the government
to be conaultcd in this as in other matters.
Speaking of the President he says:
"We preauine wben he looks into the rela-
tion or Texas he will God some important
points to discuss in his mind. Texas has been
recognized ds an independent nation by other
powers; nnd if it was ever dreamt of to ac-
cede to all the propositions as we understand
them to have been submitted by Santa Anna
it would be assuming To herself an attitude en-
tirely different to that in which sbe bas been
recognized by those powera and we imagine
the president has trio much deference fcribeir
consideration to ns'aumeany newand substan-
tive attitude without conferring with them
through our agents on a subject of so much
importance as Ihe nationality of Texas."
We regret not having time or space to-day suffi-
cient for making extracts from the Telegraph relative
to tbe impolicy of entertaining any thou;bt of ever
relinquishing the country between the Neueces and
the Bio Grande to Mexico. We agree with tbe ed-
itor most fully and admire his reasoning on tbe sub

Fraud ik the Post Omct We have fre-

did not receive their papers and the cause of
tbe delinquency was ascribed to the Pastmas
ters. We were unwilling to believe that the
Pnatmaaters. or anr one connected with the;
Post Office department could be found capa'
ble of suppresslngnne circulation oi newspa-

Western Advocatr in which the editor ex-
pressly declares lhat the head of the Post Of-
fice department st Washington has destroyed
several pockages of newspapers. We have
waited hoping that tbe head of the Post Office

that involved such moral turpitude; but what

them 'to the Department where upon being

would here ask if he is not aware that all the
papers in the Republic are thus put up in pack-
ages directed to the several Post Offices; ami
:. u-j.. nm fennwilmt the Postmasters are
! accustomed to open uch packages and dclir-
1' ' gssssaaaaaaaaasasjs
crlhe papers lo the respective individuals and
receive postage for the same? Possibly he
thinks the Postmasters at Houston and Gal-
veston ure not fustworthy. They however
have ever sustained iii our opinion tbe most
unimpeachable reputation for integrity and
we do not believe. either would defraud the de-
partment of the postage of a single newspaper
entrusted to their care. We have been accus-
tomed for years to direct our papers in this
manner and we have never heard that a sin-
gle complaint has been made that the postage
was not collected on them with as much reg-
ularity as on those that were directed lo indi-
viduals in a separate envelope.. We hope for
the credit of the Post Office'tlepaitment Mr
flail will be enabled to give some more satis-
foctoryexcusc for bis conduct. If the news-
papers of our citizens are to be thns pilfered
irom the Post Offices we may ere long expect
to hear that private letters have been opened
and read or destroyed. Indeed we have 're-
ceived positive intelligence that a private let-
ter written by Judge Morris of Galveston and
directed to a friend in this city was. actually
found in the bands of tbe President with the
seal broken and had evidently; been read by
his Excellency. These facts cannot be denied.
Will Ihe organ of the Executive enlighten as
upon this mysterious subject or furnish oar
citizens with any guarantee that tbe Post Of-
fices will be safe depositaries of their letters and
newspapers in future? Telegraph.
