Currwpondeucc ot tho Baltimore Fun.
Wasiiinoton, Feb. 12, 1854.
There is much talk concerning the M*-iican
treaty, but we cannot yet say, as w*s said us the
Gtladaloupe treaty, when that whs under consid
eration in the Senate, “wo all know what the
treaty is.” Hut wo soon will know, for we shall
have it. as I learn, through the Mexican news
i pn|ter, hv the next arrival, unless by sonic aeci
[ j dent we get it before, as has been usual. There
! are ninny minors, also in regard to the atnciid
,j ments recommended by thcKsccutive to thetrea
il. ] have reason to believe that they are of
1 little practical ini|>ortuiicc, and that they do not
relate to or in any way atteet tho Tehuantepec
question, or tlie iiideiuuity secured to American
claimants.
Tho agitation of the slavery oiiestioti, ns con
nected with tho Kansas and Nebraska bill, np
le-nrs to be tnrronsing in tho Northern States,
hut still there is reason to lielieve that n major
ity of the Northern people, la>tlt democrats and
wliigs, are willing to leave the siitdcctof slavery
ill tno territories hereafter to be formed to tho
inhabitant* themselves. Those who have, so far, i
prompted the agitation, are also hostile to all
compromises, and es|iecia)ly so to tho fugitive
slave Inw, which was a principal feature of the I
compromise of 1850.
The crowded galleries of the Senate chamber
to-day were indicative of the intcicsttaken in the
discussion of tho 1 touglashill. Mr. Weller made
a stirring and forcible s|Mch in support ot the
measure, ntid of the principle of nonintervention. •
General Houston will follow^ to-morrow.
Among the diplomatic nominations not hi re-,
tofoie Inßeti up in the Senate, is that of Gen. |
Gadsden, as Minister to Mexico. It was proba
bly taken up and confirmed in the executive ses
sion to-day.
The subject of n new tariff will soon occupy
the attention of Congress. The secretary of the
Treasury has submitted his project to tin; com
mittee of ways and means of the House, but it
has not yet Wen considered by tliat committee.
The project is similar, in its main features, to
that which the Secretary proposed in his re
port.
Tho present is a suitable time for making a
permanent mid satisfactory tariff, because it is no
longer a subject of party ootitcst. If the commit
tee cannot procure nil tho information hero that
may ho desirable, in regard to somedetnils, they
can easily obtain it by a visit of a tew week; to.
thu Northern commercial cities. The tariff of
184(1 was niadc ohiotly under the vigilant super
intendence of an outsider, Mr. Geo. I Lvight.Avho j
impressed his own views upon the committee, I
and made some mistakes, too, which ,wcre |
corrected by legislation, or treasury decisions. |

The Gadsden Troaty Provisions.
Washington, Feb. l:t, — The following are
the principal provisions of Mr. Gadsden’s treaty
now before the Senate.
Ist. The new boundary commences two -nut- j
rino leagues north of the mouth of the Colorado :
giving us no access to tho Gulfoft'alifornia, and 1
goes between latitude thirty-one and thirty-two
to the one hundred and eleventh dvgree of lon
gitude west of Greenwich.
2d. It abrogates tlie 11th atticlo of the treaty I
of Gaud,dupe Hidalgo, and cancels all claims of j
Mexican citizens under that article.to date of rat
ification.
3d. The United Slab s pay fifteen million of
dollars in (monthly instalments of three millions
each—the first payable on ratifying the treaty.
4th. Reserves nvg millions for claims of Amer
ican citizens in Mexico, including the Garay
grant. ‘•
sth. llotli Governments agree to put down
Filliliusterism, and pursue the Filibusters with
army and navy into the other’s territory.
oth. Agrees to refund goods and chattels sto
len by Indian’s front citizens of the other’s coun
try.
The President Amends No. 5 by ssriking out
the pursuit by land and sea into the other’s ter
ritory, and ho amends, No. 4 by not mentioning
nn v particular claim.
The amendments are very important.. The
“treaty will bo ratified in its new form. X.
Terrible Scene at a Shipwreck.
The Liverpool papers furnish full accounts of
the wreck of the ship Tavleur, on the Irish coast,
at the Island of Lantby, on the Hist of January,
having 020 souls on hoard, of whom near 400
were lost. One of the passengers saved thus de
scribes the scene:
A raft was constructed, on which great num
bers of persons embarked, but it was drifted
against the rocks and upset., when all on it per
ished. A rope was then convoyed on shore by
one of the swimmers, and about one hundred at
tempted to gain the rocks by clinging to it, when
the vessel suddenly fell over on her side, which
slackened one Cud of the rone and caused the en
tire of them to letgo their hold. The whole of
them were drowued. - The Captain, whose name
was Noble, was saved, but the only part of his
dress that he landed in was a flannel shirt. The
surgeon of the ship, who had his wife and child
on board, attempted.to swim to shore with his
child on h back, and supporting bis lady with
one arm, and swam with Hw other; the three,
however, unfortunately perished* One lady had
£3OOO in bank notes sewed up ft-b#r stays; she

We Imvc between four and live thousand dollars

which have been accumulating for years, and we

J j Steam Mill Burnt.
p* We regret to learn that the Steam saw Mill of
I Mr. John McDonough, was entirely consumed by
! fire, on the evening of the loth iast. The Mill
! was situated about 15 miles from Griffin, at t'ue
end of the plank rojid, and was one of tlie princi

will full very heavily upon Mr. McDonough, who
has but lately rebuilt the mills, which were pre
viously dost roved by fire. We trust that the citi
zens of Griffin will extend all the aid in their pow
er to mitigate as much as possible this misfortune
of a worthy and much respected fellow citizen.

Wc cannot permit ;he following communication
to go abroad without comment. It docs the char

This is not so. Tho writer has certainly drawn

are they “manufactured “ and at what ‘•cottiers of

!go abroad, truly! A person who can thus permit
I his zeal for tlie cause of temperance to overstep
i the bounds of moderation and justice, is an enc
■my to the best interests of that cause. A man
who would blast the reputation of an entire com-
I inunity in order to givo point to an argument
against the liquor trafic, and who, by implication,
charges tho city authorities with stimulating in
temperance and fostering a “den ot drunkenness,.
| is pos-essed of more temerity than discretion—
more zeal than candor. It seems to ns that a pro-!
! per regard for tlie feelings of our citizens and the |
i reputation of the city, would have dictated a less j

the citizens of Gridin, as a class, are intemperate, j

What it H*bntskf
This question has oftan been asked of late,
and in view of the great principles at issue in
it, the public mind should be thoroughly and
accurately informed. We cannot do so in bet*
ter terms than in those of the Address put forth
by Senators Chase, Sumner and Cos,
‘“From the Southwestern corner of Missouri
pursue the parallel of 36 deg. 40 m. North lati
tude, westwardly across the Arkansas, across
the north fork of Canadian, to hortbsastern an
gle of Texas “, then follow the northeastern boun
dary of Texas to the western limit of New Jdet
ieo; then proceed along that line to its northern
termination; then again turn westwardly, and
follow tlie northern line of New Mexico to the
crest of the Rocky mountains; then ascend
northwardly along the crest of that mountain
range to the Hue which separates the United
States from the British Possessions in North
America, on tlie 49th parallel of North latitude;
then pursue yonr course eastwardly along that
line to the White Earth River, which fails
into the Missouri from the North ; descend that
river to its confluence with the Missouri ; de
scend the Missouri along the Western boundary
of Minesota, of low a, of Missouri, to the point
where it ceases to be a boundary line, and enters
the State to which it gives its name ; then con
tinue vour southward course along *he western
limit of the State to the point from which you
set out. You have now made the circuit of the
proposed Territory of Nebraska. You have tra
versed the vastdistance of more than three thou
sand miles. You have traced the outlines of an
area offimrhundred and eighty-five thousand
square miles; more than twelve times as large
as that of Ohio.
This immense region, occupying the very
heart of the North American Continent, and
larger by thirty-three thousand square miles
than all the existing Free States, excluding Cal
ifornia—this immense region, well watered and
fertile, through which the Middle and Northern
routes from the Atlantic to the Pacific must pass
—this immense region, embracing all the unor
ganized territory of the uaticui, except the com
paratively insignificant distriffiof Indian territo
ry north of Red River and between Arkansas
Texas, i.s the subject matter of the bill now peud
