TI1E STATE OF TEXAS.
It will be seen from the following summary
oftho Senate’s proceedings on the 22d inst.
that the June star is now fairly in the galaxy of
the Union, and from present indications the
couplet of Joel Carlow, is likely to be prophetic,
“No pent-up Utica contract* our pow'n-,
TUc whole boundless continent i« ours.”
At least there is a strong squinting at most
of it which lies north of the isthmus of Darien.
Oregon we will have, as it is our own; Califor
nia is hinted at; “ the annexation of Mexico”
alluded to ns a possibility, and Mr. Levy us
will be seen below, is forgetting not only the
continent, but a few of the neighboring islands.

Washington, Dec. 22.
The Bill for the admission ofTexa« into the
Union, was passed to-day in the Senate 31
to 13.
Among thr absentees were Pearce and John-
son, of Maryland, Crittenden, of Kentucky, and
Jarnjgin, of Tennes-ec. and John M. C.ayton,
of Delaware, and Cameron, of Pennsylvania
all of which is very extraord naiy. Why tln-y
did not choose to he present and record their
votes, is a matter of s|H'culation. Much sur
prise was expressed at the fact, tlwt “ I hoinus
Corwin, tlio wagon boy,” did n"t also dodge
the question. IJis hopes of the Presidency
arc injured g rally by this vote—but the bold
ness of it is more favorable to bis honesty than
to his tact. The othor two candidates for the
Preaidency, Clayton and Crittenden, were be<-
tar instrn. ted, and put ibemstIves among the ^ iin||( . di|nefl# i„ Congress,
trussing. But Mr. Corwin not onlv I ced the . 0 t..,: n,* ^
question, but the wrong side of the question.—
1 mtiit consider hi n «s a dead cock in the pit f

question. No one bad any heart for opposi

of the steamer route between Savannah and
Charleston, S. C. as of great importance for
the speedy transmission of mails to Southwes

that under a proper schedule our letter mails
could reach us in seven days if distributed at
Charleston, S. C., sent by the steamer route to
Savannah, Gn., thence to Macon by the Central
Railroad, connecting immediately with the tri
weekly mail to Cambridge, Gu. y and to Chat
tahoochee, Fa., and by steamer to this cily/*
We publish it merely as another indication
of the wishes and necessities of the people who
have relied on the Steamboat Line for early in
formation, not that we have any idea that it or
any oilier suggestion would have ;he least
weight with the department. As we ob
serve in the Washington Union, a communica
tion, not official, not even graced with an anon
ymous signature, but yet speaking on the sub
ject in a manner that leads to the belief that it
speaks from a knowledge of the Post Master
General’* determination on the subject.
If we are to take the communication ss an
indication of Mr Johnson’s views, the wishes of
the people of Savannah and the resolutions of
our Legislature will pass unheeded, and we
fear they are bis fixed intentions, as the com
munication smacks very much of the bulletin
style of a certain Mr Hobby, through whose
relatives information of the orders of the de
partment frequently gets out on the great mail
route by Augusta, some weeks before it np
pears officially.
We admire economy in a public office, but
the conduct of the bus ness t dative to Inc Sa
vannah ho its, hoks very l.ke penny wisdom.
Our patience is getting threadbare with the di
latory and irregular manner in which our nor
thern letters and papers arrive.
Since writing the above we have seen Mr.
Cuvier’s letter on the subject, published in the
Savannah Republican.
The Tallahassee Fl mdian has also come to
hand containing the following a tdi io-ial testi
mony of the necessity of a steamboat mad from
Charleston to Savannah.
‘•For the last two weeks our mails have come
to hand very irregularly; the Northern Mail on
Thursday, regularly fails. We attribute the
failure to the recent change between Charleston
i,ud Savannah, sending the mail over land in
stead of by Steamboat. We hope our mem
bers in Washington will aid us in this matter,
and secure a regular mail on died, yt it is
contract' d to arrive. There is fault some
where—we are entitle J to three Not hem mails
weekly, we icceive but on Mondays and Sat
urdays, the Thursday s mail fails entirely.
ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.
The following resolutions were passed in the
Representative branch of Congress, on the 10th
inst, by a vote of 141 yeas, to 56 nays. I he
will of the people on tins subject, as expressed
in the election of last year seems to meet with
Joint Resolutions for the admission of the
State of Texas into the Union.
Wherea*, the Ccgress of the United States,
bv a “joint resolution,’' nppioved March the
1st, 1844, did consent that the territory pro
perly included within and rightfully belonging
to the Republic of Texas might lie erected into
n new State, to be called the State of Texas,
NEWS BY THE AC A DIA.
The Acadia from Liverpool, brings 15 day
later news. Cotton had declined J to §ths of
a penny per pound. The English and French
papers are fall of the Oregon question. Their
general tone may be inferred from the extracts
we make below.
From Wilmer'n European Timas, Dec. 4lh.
It has transpired during the last day or two,
that Mr. Folk inis repealcJ to the English cabi
net the offer which they have rejected two or
three times during the last quarter of a centu
ry, namely, to divide the territory by the 49th
parallel of north latitude, and that they still ad
here tomakingthe Columbia the boundary,each
nation being free of its waters. Jt is our curse
to have a monopoly of sum* ki.td or other, al
ways to fight for or to defend; some “vested in
terest” about which the people in the aggregate
know and care as much as a cow does for as
tronomy. The nation, if noses had been count
ed would have accepted this offer by an over
whelming maj irity, but then the interests of the
people, and the interests of n powerful incorpo
rated company diverge, and the government,
like a harsh step-mother, pets tlio favorite and
plunders the family'.
It is painful to speak of warlike preparations
in the same breath that we refer to a misunder
standing with a friendly country, as it savors
soi newest of the Milesian mode ofsettling a coa-
troversary with uplifted shillelnli. But the lii*s
and pother—the activity and incessant energy
which prevail in the English dockyards, the sur
veying the coast and the steam navy—nil indi
cate a “black cioud” somewhere; it may be in
tlie west <»r in the south, but the ‘‘powers that
be” seem to be impressed with it belief that
events are transparent enough to make tiiis ac
tivity and outlay necessary. Captain Austin
vis ted Liverpool last week, by orders of the
Admiralty, to gauge the capacity of the first
class steamers as regards this carry i ig of heavy-
metal. The Briti-di and North American, the
West Indian, and oilier vessels have undergone
similar inspections. Cui mala! “Coining
events cast their shadows before;” and our
prayer is, that a‘l this horrible making ready
for the worst may prove superfluous, and that
the “events,” whatever they are, in which they
have their origin, may “come like shadows, so
depart.”
From the Liverpool European Time*. Dec. 4th.
A compromise on tlie Oregon question—giv
ing,on the part of England, a large slice of ter
ritory in exchange for a liberal American ta
riff—has been put forth by some of tne New
York papers, and cordially responded to by sev
eral of the most influential organs of opinion in
this country. Such a mode of settling the dis
pute would ho worthy of two of the most pow
erful nations in existence. We notice it here,
not so much from a hope that the stubbornness
of statesmen will carry out tho suggestion, as
because it indicates a desire on the part ol those
who create and govern public opinion in tli s
country, to se-ze upon any course at ail practi-
rablc, by which the dispute with the United
State* could be amicably put to rest.
From tlie Pari* Journal tie* Debats. Dee. I.
A war between America ami England will
be a calamity for the civilised world, and by dc-
grccs every maritime nation may be drawn in
to take part in the conflict in consequence of
the vexatious interruptions which neutrals will
not f.iil to meet with in the desperate struggle
which will desolate the surface of the ocean.—
But for England and for America it will he sucii
an overturning of interests, that we cannot but
think that whatever the language of the Presi
dent, in his message, may be, the cause of pence
will not on that account be irretrievably lost

Mr. Huntington objected, that the CoaMitJ-
liou of T>'.* a-r did not coil-ride with the condi
tions of tho act of annc\at on, and that she had
no right to two representatives.
Mr. Borriec, though he had voted against
annexation, considered that act as settling the
question of ad n s<ion. The public faith was
pledged, a id must be redeemed.
Mr, Bagby explained his : own auspicious
course on this question, shewing that lie was
always friendly to annexation, though ho had
doubted the constitutional power of Congress
to effect it by legislation. The power to admit
new States, did not, in his opinion, extend to
foreign territory. But ho considered that thcro
could he no objection now to the udmiss’on of
Texas as a Stale, on an equal footing with the
original States.
As soon as this Bill was disposed of, Mr. Lc-
vy, of Florida, submitted a resolution declaring
it to bo the sense of the Senate, that negotia
tions should he opened with tho Government of
Spain for tho session of Cuba to tho U. S., the
inhabitants of Cuba assenting thereto. This
was received with somo hesitancy, as if it were
doubtful whether tlio mover was in earnest or
not. Sumo laughed at it—all considered it as
States of the Union; which consent ot Con-
f i gress was given upon certain conditions speci-
' lied in the first and second sections of said joint
resolution; and whereas the people of the said
Republic of Texas, by deputies ill convention
assembled, with the consent of the existing gov
ernment, did adopt a Constitution, and erect a
new State, with a republican form of govern
ment, and in the name of the people of Texas,
and by their authority, did ordain ail t declare
what injury would be inflicted on British com

would the south-western States of the Union,

without that market? What a shock would it
even be for the constitution of the Union itself?
We must therefore, still hope, that there will ho

CHARLESTON MARKETS—Cotton. The receipt*
of Uplands, during the past week have been as follows, by
Railroad 2«7 bale*, by water 3595 bates, by wagon*, 395
bales, to-elber 6137 bates. Exported in same time to for
eign port*. 3009 bates, coastwise, 793 bales; total exports
of the week 3602 bate*, and leaving on band a shipping
stock or 91615 bales, exclusive of 530 J bales on shipboard
not cleared.
On Wednesday morning the arrival of the Northern
mail conveyed the advices by the Acadia, from Liverpool
to the lih inst. A decline ot J4 there, with a general dul-
uess of the maiket even at that decline,caused an immedi
ate suspension in this market of any further operations; and
during the whole of that day we heard of but a small lot
of 75 bales having changed hands at perhaps j cent decline.
Christmas day falling on Thursday, all business was sus
pended. Yesterday the only transactions consisted of 500
bales, taken for immediate shipment and to fill an order for
a Northern market of which 63 bale* at 7J. and 139 at 7J.
Tins-lot hod been held previous to it-e accounis, at 8 cents
and been under o£Ter at 7J, thus establishing, as far as the
above transaction i* concerned, a decline of J a J' U. We,
withhold for the present any further remarks as t>- the pio.

•The Cotton market was very quiet throughout the week,
