THE CHARLESTON MERCURY.
We regret to see this paper still pursuing
its unwise career of carping arid fault-find
ing. Is the Mercury aware that it is injur
ing Mr. Calhoun by its course ? The Mer
cury is regarded as the organ of that distin
guished man, and its every waspish sting is
believed by his enemies, to be sharpened
and directed at Fort Hill, What would the
Mercury have? Cui bono is this perpetiial
worry with ’the old sore between Calhoun
and Van Buren? Mr. Van Buren stands
certainly in a most unoffending attitude be
fore the country. He is a candidate for no
office, aspiring to no public influence, and is
most innocently cultivating his cabbages at
Linden wold. While oil the political stage,
to what, act of his life, can any true Demo
crat take exception ? Barring the doc
trine of Nullification, we can see no essen
tial difference in the political creeds of Mr.
Van Buren and the Mercury. Tliey stand
bn the same platform. But says the Mer
fcury, the Northern Democracy are false
to Republican principles—faithless to the
South. Did not the Northern Democrats
6tand up to the South, while the South was
betrayed by her own public men ? Were
hot our Northern Democratic brethren who
had fought our battles bravely on the floor
bf Congress, frequently met in their contests
before the people of the free States, with the
speeches and writings of Southern men, and
have not many of them been sacrificed at
home, by the Ptiests of the very altar at
w hich they were doing homage ? The con
duct of angels is not to be expected from
hiali.
The Mercury too complains of Tariff
heresies lit some of the Northern Democrats.

, St. Parrick’ lUt. In our piper of the
26th ult. we made mention of the fact that
the time of celebrating the birth day of St.
Patrick had been changed from the 17th
March to the 7th April, by Bishop Hughes,
of New York, aod also staled that the idea
had been suggested that this change was
intended to have an influence upon the
charter election, which was to come off on
the Bth. Since the publication in ques
tion we hdv.e received a communication from
the Rev. Mr. Birmingham, the Catholic
Priest of this city, stating the reasons for
said change, from which it appears evident
that it was not made for any such purpose.
We have no disposition to do injustice to
any set of individuals or religious sect, and
dqem this statement but a simple act of jus

Baitimokk, April 9.
Morse’s Telegraph— Contract for the
South —The benefits contemplated from this
great invention will shortly be put to the
practical test, as in addition to the arrange
rfi'enls in progress for its continuation from
this 4ity to New York, a contract was yes
terday closed and signed with Amos Ken
dall, Esq., the agent of Professor Morse, for
its continuation from Washington City to
New Orleans. The proprietor of the South
ern route is 11. H. O’Callaghan, Esq., of
the New Orleans Crescent City, whose en
terprise and energy was fully tested during
the last Winler in his running an exclusive
:private horse sxpress on a portion of the
Southern route, wheteby he was enabled to
outstrip the United Slates Mail twenty four
hours in its aYrival at New Orleans. It is
his’ intention 10 iiKtrifedfafely extend the
wires from thd city of Mobile to New Or
leans, whereby he will be enabled at once to
obtain the news for his paper 24 hours in
udvatice of the mail, whilst a branch tele
graph will also tie put in'operation from that
city to the B'alize, for the transmission of
shipping news, &e. Although his object is
to convey the general matters of public in
terest exclusively for his own paper, it will
be open to the public at an established rate
for the transmission of business communi
cations, &c ,'tfcfe same as if it were undei
the control of the United States'or a char
tered company, whilst the regular issuing of
extras’ front his office will place (he news
received through it in the hands of the pub
lie with’all llite facility that may be desit ed.
Indeed \Vc have seldom met with a gentle
man of more persevering industry and en
terprise than Mr. O’Callaghan; and the
public may rest assured that no time will be
lost in connecting the two great commercial
chics of the north and south, so far as the
result may depend on his part of the under
taking. We learn that a clause iu the con
tract above referred to, reserves to the Gov
ermnent the right of repurchasing the ex
clusive control of the telegraph should Con
gress hereafter deem it expedient so to do.
It -eanmot he expected, however, that it will
be in the power of Government to obtain
poeseesieta of it on such advantageous terms
as it was offered by Professor Morse, as its
value will liereaftcr dejtetul on the success
of the anticipation® of the present proprie
tors.
The Hon. Amos Kendall snd the Hon.
Francis O. J. Smith, passed through this
oily yesterday, on then way to New York,
where we understand they have an appoint
pomtment to consummate the necessary ar
rangements for constructing a line of Morse’s
Telegraph from that city to this, through
Philadelphia, and it is expected (bat the
cominttnicalion. will be faitly established
aud in operation at the commencement of
the next session of Congress. A line from
this city to HatrUbutg is also iocontempla*
liou.—itU’l.
The Washington Constitution says that a
rumor is current and generally accredited in
that city, that the British Minister, Mr Pakon
ham is charged with the negotiation of a trea
ty with the United Slates, “based upon re
ciprocal advantages to the products of each
country in their respective marlfets.”
LATER FROM MEXICO.
By the arrival of the schooner Water
Witch last evening, which left Vera Cruz oil
the sth inst., we have received our files from
the city of Mexico to the 25th ult., and from
Vera Cruz to the day of the sailing of the
schooner.
The schooner Fanny from this port, had
arrived at Vera Cruz with the intelligence of
the passage of the measure of Annexat on by
the United Stales Congress. The news was
received coldly by most of the inhabitants of
that seaport, but there was some blustering
and talk about war on the part dfa portion of
the population, which all sane men supposed’
would soon subside.
On the day priorto the sailing of the Water
Witch, the British man of war Euridice set
sail for Galveston, with despatches just re
ceived from the city of Mexico, for the Brit
ish Minister in Texas. The purport of the
documents had not transpired but it was ru
mored, and generally credited, that they con
tained a complete recognition on the part of
Mexico of the independence of Texas, upon
the condition that she rejected the proposed
Annexation to the United Stales.
Santa Anna stilt remained a prisoner at the
Castle of I’erote.
The Mexican Gover iment had received
intelligence of the passage of the Annexation
resolutions by both houses of Congress, but
they had no official notice that President
Tyler had given his assent to them. How
ever, they entertained little doubt of their re
ceiving his approval. Our files from the’
capita! are not so late as due, but vve infer
tlint the Government was really in possession
of the latest intelligence, and that the de
parture of the British vessel of war at Gal
veston was consequent upon the information.
Outlie 21st of March, the Chamber of
Deputies took into consideration this subject
of the Annexation of Texas. Resolutions
were introduced, and warmly supported, for
declaring the provisions of the Treaty ot 1331
(ratified in 1832) at an end ; for closing the
ports ot Mexico against all vessels of the U.
States, and prohibiting the introduction of our
manufactures; and. finally, that no proposi
tion from our Government for the restoration
of friendly relations should be listened to, save
upon the condition that the United States
should renounce altogether the plan of auiiex
aiion.
YVc have neither time nor room to go fur
ther into our files to day. We may say, how
ever, that the tone .of danta Anna’s letters to
the Government, (and we have several of
them before us,) is bold and almost insolent.
Feeling that his life is safe, ihera is no limit
to his audacity.—N. O. Vic.
TEXAS.)
By the steamship Marmora, arrived yes
terday from Galveetonj we have Texas files
to the 2d instant—tho day of her departure.
The papers ate mostly taken up in discus
sing tho Annexation resolutions. Were we
to infer the opinions cf the people from the
tone of the press, we should think the Tex
ans nearly unanimous in favor of coining
into the Confederacy on the terms proposed.
We have seen nothing further touching the
view's of Presided! Jones and his Cabinet in
regard to the measure. A powerful appeal
in lavor of Annexation Ims been addressed
to the people by a comm?;tee appointed by
the citizens of Galveston.
Major Douelson, U. S. Charge to Texas,
arrived at Galveston on the 27tli ultimo,
and proceeded immediately to the seat of
government.
At tho date of our last advices from Gal
veston a British ve-sel of w>ar had just
reached that city with despatches for Capt.
Elliot, the British Charge, who 60t out im
mediately after reciving them (or Washing
ton. Tliis vessel, which proved to be the
sloop of wat Eleclta. direct from Jamaica,
to which place the despatches had been
sent by one of the West India steamers,
had despatches; also fur Mr. Saligny, the
French Charge. Both the French and
English Charges returned to Galveston on
the Ist inst. The nature of the despatches
by the EUctra bad not transpired. Any
number of surmises “ ere afl iat as to the
precise charactef of the docutnotits in ques
lion, but nothing decisive was known.—
The only hope the anti-annexationists eu
tertained of the defeat of the measure was,
that the Elect-a had brought out definite
and complete propositions for the settle
ment of Mexican pretensions; whilst the
annexation party laughed at the idea of
British guaranty, when there was no lon
ger any occasion for it, as the independence
of the country, as regards Mexico, could be
better established by becoming a member
of the American Confederacy. There will
be strong efforts made, however, to pro
duce. a rejection of the terms offered by Mr.
Brown’s resolutions. TboGalvestoti News,
in remarking’ upon the struggle about to
take place in Texas, says :
“Now comes the eleventh hour offer of
our recognition;—now conies the often re
ileiated proffer of European friendship ;- —
dow again our Government is to be plied
with English gold, and power, and influ
ence, and with all the riches of her com
meice.”
“All information from the country,” adds
tlie News,'“proclaims the utmost harmony
and unanimity among our citizens in Evor
ol the Joint Resolutions.”
Apart from the subject of Annexation,
our files contain no intelligence of interest.
Indeed this subject seems to engulf every
oilier topic.
The citizens ol Gonzales recently gave a
public dinner to our old friend Navarro as a
testimony of the respect they entertain for
bis virtues and patriotism.
The Cost of foreign sugars sold in Hous
ton during the last twelve months amounts
10 over $13,000. The . exports of cotton
from the same city, during the year ending
December 31, 18.4, reached 6803 bales.
Late news from the Rio Grande repre
sents the district between that rivet and
the Nueces to be in the possession of the Cu
manche Indians, who have come down upon
the country to the number of 800 or 1000
men—stealing horses, and in some cases
committing murder. The North Mexicans
were in great consternation, and at Mata
moros an assault upon the town was appre
hended.—- 16.’

New York’ April 2.
Messrs. Editors—You have noticed before
this the death Mrs. Wdlis, wife of N. P.
Willis. Her peculiar loveliness of character
rendered her an objoct of affection to all who
knew her, and her death seems the passing
away of more brightness than the extinguish
ing of a single soul. Her father, Col. Stace,
of Woolwich Arsenal was an officer in the
English army, and fought, we believe, under
Wellington, at the battle of Waterloo. A
few years since Mrs. Willis crossed the At
lantic on a visit to her father'd! the first news
she heard on landing in England was his
death. He had died while she was at sea,
and the shock the melancholy event gave
her, those can well conceive who knew hotv
much affeclionVas J*er life. Mr. Willis his
tested tho truth the pfoverb, “Misfortunes

a most lovely sister, and now his wife lias

TEXAS.
Mr. Ritche, who has just returned to
Richmond, from Washington; says:
“We understand that our own Govern
ment at Washington have their eyes open,
and are displaying the most determined
energy in our relations with the young Re
public. Mr. Flitt, of the State Department,
is about to proceed to Texas with instruc

JUDGE STURGIS.
Col. Jones—ln the last ‘-Courier,’’ I find
extracted from tho Augusta Chronicle &
Sentinel, the proceedings of. ;)se Grand Ju
ly, and citizens of Harris county, in rela
tion to the failure of Harris Superior Court;
and I feel called upon to say, thro’ your
paper, that I have no doubt fridge Sturgis
expected me to hold that Court for him.
He had through Judge Taylor obtained my
consent to hold Marion Court, and sc fre
quently by letter requested me to extend my
labor to (be holding of Harris Court, which
through the same medium I refused, in con
sequence of the press of business in my
own circuit, having to hold two adjourned
Courts to bring up the business. This press
of official duties, with engagements of a
private nature, prevented my extending
him that courtesy’ in holding Harris Court,
which I think due to every brother Judge,
and which it would have been a pleasure to
have extended to him, if practicable. At
Marion Court 1 was informed that Judge
Sturgis had not received my letter, and I
was pressed by the piofession to hold liar
ris Court, and I regret now that difficulties
which seemed to me to be insuperable, had
not been overcome and the Court held by
me. To Judge Sturgis these difficulties
were unknown, and he knowing that no
Court in my circuit was held at the same
time, and that I had readily assented to hold
Marion for him, might reasonably have ex
pected me to hold Harris Court, and the
more especially when he had premised to
hold Randolph Court for me, the labois of
which are equal, I suppose to those ueces
sary in holding both Mation and Harris
Couits.
You and other Editors who have publish

Monument to lhe Memory of Ihh. Commander
of the President Steamer, Captain Roberts.
, Some few days since our attention was
directed —and, shall we ?ay it, by a stranger
—to a monument lately eroded it; the
church yard of Passage, to the memory of
one, the recollection of whose public ser
vices and private worth rendered his pts
mature and untimely fate a source of en.
during sorrow to his immediate circle of
friends and acquaintances while by all who
had known his noble and generous charac
ter it was deeply deplored.
The cenetaph is a large square building
of riclt cut stone, with a fine base and cap
moulding, aud having a boll pediment on
either side. The design is appropriate,
chaste, and elegant. On the angles of the
monument are represented in strong relief
the sterns of the vessels which Captain Ro
berts commanded, viz: the “Black joke,”
the “Sirius,” the “British Queen,” and the
“ President.’ The .following isthe inscrip
tion which the monument bears:
“This stone commemorates, in the church
yard of his native parish, the merits.& pre
mature death,of the first officer under whose
command a steam vessel ever crossed the
Atlantic ocean. Undaunted bravery exhib
ited in the suppression of the slave traffic
in the African seas, enterprise, and con
summate skill in the details of his profes
sion, recommended’ him for that arduous
service. .. ;
“Lieutenant Richard Roberts, R. N., in’
accomplishing it, not only surpassed the
wildest visions of former days, hut even the
Warmost ancipalibns of the presen'.
“lie gave to science triumphs she had not
dared to hope and created an epoch forevef
memorable in the his’ory of his country and
of navigation.
“The thousands that shall follow in’ his
track must not forget who it was that taught
the world to traverse with such marvelous
rapidity the highway of the ocean, and who,
in connecting in a voyage of a few days
the eastern and western hemispheres, has
forever linked his name with the greatest
achievinonfs of,navigation since Columbus
first revealed Europe aid America to each
other.
“God having permitted Ititfi this high
distinction, was pleased to decree that the
leader of this great enterprise should also
be its martyr. Lieutenant Roberts perished
with’all on board his ship, the President,
when on her voyage ftom Amercan to Eng

“As the gallant seamen under whose
guidance was accomplished an undertaking
tne result of which cenlufies will not ex
haust, it is for his country—fOr the World—
to remember him. His widow, whb erects
this melancholy memorial, may.be forgivbn,
if to her these claims are lost in the recol

which, alas! for three brief years, formed

ftom Buffalo, on the 3rd inst. says :
“An extraordinary excitement has pre
vailed at Qiieenston and Lewiston for the
