Ou motion of Mr. Benton, the Resolution was then ordered to be immediately carried into effect. Accordingly, the Secretary of the Senate, Mr. Dickens, brought the Journal ol 1834 to the table, and in the presence of ihe Senate, drew black lines around the obnoxious resolution of censure against Gen eral Jackson, and wrote across its face, "Expunged by order of lhe Senate, this 16th day or January 1837." While this was doing, several persons in lhe gallery were heard to hiss. The Sergeant at Arms was ordered lo bring the offenders to the bar ofthe Senate; he succeeded in capturing one, and bringing him up; who was a fop pish looking young man in whis kers, said lo be a young lawyer irom wuio. niier some discussion,! he was ordered to be discharged, Before leaving, the fellow desired to address the Senate, but was thrust out. Clay, Webster, Cal- noun, and others, were excessively j mortified, at the passage of the Expunging Resolution, and quit: the Chamber while the operation was performing. The venerable Chief of our Republic will now ', "depart in peace" to the shades of his belov ed Hermitage, ' fol-I lowed by the gratitude of a nation , Of t reemeil. j On lhe I9ih inst. a messarrp was rPrpivP.I J,, .h. 5. r ... IIIV wviiqic, iiuiii the (resident of the United States iransmitting in compliance with the resolution of lhe Senate of ihe lGth inst. a translation of a letter addressed to him by General San ta Anna, dated the 4th July last, and a copy of his reply to the same, dated the lGth September last, 'stating' thai this is the only correspondence that has taken place between this Governtnem and any foreign Government on the subject ofthe recognition o. the independence of Texas. The letter of General Santa Anna, al ter stating that he has been taken prisoner by the Texian General Houston, and has' entered into a convention with him for establish in neace' between Texas and Mexico, and the independence of the former, adds as his belief that Texas never can be subjugated bv Mexico, and that it would not be for the interest ofthe latter to subdue her. He therefore prays the interposition of the President to aid in carrying the convention into effect. 'I'ru; reply ofthe Pre sident expresses the anxious wish to see an end put to the scenes of blood that have taken place in the belligerent country, and the opin ion ihat the best interest of both countries would be promoted by the establishment of peace be tween them but declines an in terference on the grounds that it would be forbidden by the long settled policy of this country, and that the correspondence of the Mexican Minister here expressly declares that the acts of General Santa Anna while a prisoner, would not be recognized by Mexico. Affjrafew remarks, the Mes sage and documents were laid on the table & ordered to be printed. Mr. Walker has introduced a resolution acknowledging the independence of Texas. In the House of Representa tives, Mr. Cambreleng from the Committee ol Ways and Means, has reported a Bill to reduce the Tariff to a revenue standard. By j this Bill ihe duties on all foreign j imports winch now exceed 20 per cent advalorem, are lo be gradu ally reduced to that amount by Septr. 1838, and the duties on Coal and Salt are) to be entirely removed by Septr. next. Our Rail Road, which, owing to the unfavourable season in which it was commenced, crept ou at first but slowly, and with in fant strides, begins now to assume the hardy features and sturdy pace of sinewy manhood. We understand that ere long, the whole of the line from this place to Waynesboro a distance of 88 miles, will be located. Fifty-two of these are under contract for grading, and a considerable portion of the timber for the su perstructure engaged. The loca tion for the Depot, Machine Shops, Wharves, &ic, at this end, have been decided upon, and contracts about being entered into for ma terials to coustruct ihe same. The arrival of the new con tractors, each with their fifty and hundred CulTees to back them, inspires us with confidence that the work henceforward will go boldly on, while our indefatigable Engineer, with his laborious As sistants, are pushing, each in their respective spheres, lhe work which belongs peculiarly to their re spective offices. We are told, but cannot vouch for it, that ten miles of lhe Halifax eud is under con tract. We should be pleased if this were so, for it would be to us an earnest that the Halifax and Wel- don Company had agreed to unite with us, a desideratum, we think, devoutly to be coveted by both parties.
