CITY OF RALEIGH, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 19, 1851.

VOLUME LV
OTJX WASHINGTON CORRESPOSBENCE.
WiaHiKGTov, April 11, 1854.
The Oad1on treaty, instead of being rejec
ted entirely by the Senate, which its opponents
have the power to do, will probably bo amend
i ed so as to give' Mexico seven or eight, millions
of dollars, instead of fifteen for th Mesilla
valley territory; enough for the purposes of a
railroad, should ne. ever be constructed to
j i.he Pacific, and for release from all claims
1 for damages on account of Indian depredations,
i under the llth article of the treaty of Guada
! loupe Hidalgo.
Ah to the Oaray claim, that is discarded al
! together, not only as groundless, but as jsome
! thTng worse. It is intimated that If the facts
which have come out in the Senate, in regard
i to this claim, could be exhibited to the public,
! they would throw Gardnerism wholly in the
I shade. The treaty will probably be finally
I disposed of to-morrow or next day.
'riw. Vhraska Question is still the never n
I dine theme of daily, speeches in he Uoose it
i beinz the narent of from two to three every day
jpro and con ; and so it will -continue to be,
'though the subject is already worn thread-bare,
1 so lonx as it continues to agitate the public
mind. I think, however, that there is not ho
I great a degree of feeling on the subject among
members as there has been. Both northern
'and southern gentlemen are cooling down some
iwhat in regard to it, and I meet with many of
ithe latter now who not only express entire in
difference as to the fate of the bill, but with
tiot a few who even say that they think it an
'ill-advised measure. On the other hand, many
'from the' north now admit that its passage
would be productive of no harm to them, aad,
setting aside the evil of the precedent of dis
turbing a long settled compromise, they have
little or no objection to it.
i I confess I am glad to see this softening down
pf that acerbity of feeling which existed here
a few weeks ago, and to observe a more genial
and fraternal disposition and , leaning towards
each other by gentlemen from the two sections
of our country, tiaa noi mis question oeeu
unexpectedly unexpectedly to all, parties
brought forward, I cannot imagine any thing
that would have produced the least unkind feel
- log between the two sections of the country;
and it is most devoutly to be hoped that it will
le the last time that sectional strife shall be
jitirred up to alienate, even for a moment, one
portion of our country from the other. Unfor
tunately, there are too many demagogues in
both, who find they can make more political
capital for themselves by exciting the people
-f the two sections against each other, misrep
resenting the one to the other, and fostering
their nreiudices, than they can by endeavoring
ti allay sectional feeling and b.y combatting
Mich prejudices: as pettifogers find it more
profitable to excite quarrels amang neighbors
than to prevent them. The consequence is that
both the north and the south have their agita
tes, and unfortunately these have their willing
audience and followers, who readily swallow
n,nd believe all that is told them, and thus be
come embittered towards those for whom they
would entertain the most friendly regard did
they but know them.
It baa been WHU no nine Huronae mm regret ,
that we have , heard that Mr. Everett has laid j
claim to the paternity of Mr. Webster's cele
brated Hulseman letter ; not that he might not
have written it, but, if he did, that he should
make the fact public. The letter was never
entirely approved by some very distinguished
gentlemen who were here at the time Mr.
Clay, for instance. They deemed it unneces
sarily harsh and wanting in that courtesy of
style which should ever characterise our diplo
matic correspondence. It was said to have
been Mr. Everett's intention to publish his
draft of the letter witlj the emendations of Mr.
Vebster; but it is added now, that he has
been dissuaded from so doing by friends in Bos
ton. His "second, sober thought,'' was a wise
one.
There is something curious about this letter.
In the first place, Mr. Webster said that he
Mm nosed it while breathing the pure, invigor
ating air of the mountains of New Hampshire;
and now. Mr. Everett, his friend, claims its pa
ternity. In the next place, a friend of mine
states that he heard a rough draft or general
outline of the letter read by one who had pre
pared it in the State Department some time be
fore vhe letter itself appeared. Again, Mr.
Hulseman states in his despatch to Mr. Web
stir, to which this letter is a reply, that he did
not receive the instructions from his govern
ment in time to enable him to make the des
patch to his, Mr. Webster's, predecessor. Now,
si.; far from this, he did receiye those instruc
tions some months before Mr. Webster's prede-'
of office, read them to him,
CUR NEWJ3T0RX CORRESPONDENCE.
i New York, Apr'.l 11, 1854.
Trinity .ChmcJi in New York-Preliminary Op
e-rations of' the Ml'intic and Pacific Rail Rtad
Company Oysters for California Sale of
Turkish Moustaches. "
In my .last letter I presented some details re
lative to Columbia College in this city, and
stated that its city property was derived from a
grant originally from the corporation of Trinity
Church. As the subjects are somewhat asso
elated together, I now proceed to' mention a
few facts in respect to Trinity Church itself.--r
This is, without doubt, the wealthiest corpora
tion iii this country, and if it should ever be
deprived of its possessions, the spoliations
would fall heavily upon Columbia College, pro
vided the title by which it holds should be in
validated. ,At. all events, supposing this to re
main intact, there is a provision in the old
charter limiting the annual income to five
thousand dollars.
The King's Farm to which the Chureh fell,
heir, extended, as observed in the. previous let
ter, fronv Fulton street to Carmine street, and
between Broadway and the North River, cov
ering a hnndrad or more acres, in what is now
the most populous portion of the city. As the
tlhinelander family hold the greater part of
die Columbia College, under an interminable
lease, so do the Astor family hold a very large
part of Trinity Church property. The origi
nal title may be considered valid enough but
it is by an unquestionable collusion that ihe
Church manages to retain an enormous estate,
worth millions, but which, by the logic of fig
ures, is made to yield annual ineome, accord
ing to the terms of the charter, of an amount
within five thousand dollars.
It was agreat relief to the trustees of Trini
ity Church when Aaron Burr departed this
life. He had a thorough knowledge of the
whole matter, and had made it his study, and,
when clients were scarce, and shots in the gol
den loeker few, Burr invariably fell back upon
the t'hurch, not for spiritual comfort, but for
carnal relief. His, clamors were easily appea
sed, and righteous indignation nullified. It
has been many years now since any efforts were
made to disturb the Church, and to dispossess
it of its rich inheritence. The condition of the
charter is nominally complied with, by always
keeping tle establishment in debt, by which
means its revenue may at any time be reduced
to a fraction. Bonds of the Church are issued,
covering all its resources, and are in demand
for long and safe investments.
During the" late session of the Legislature
of this State, a resolution was offered, calling
upon the Church for a statement of its posses
sions, the number of lots it owns, and the
amount of rent and liabilities. From this, it
appears that the number of its city lot is 406,
besides many large pieces of property not spe
cified. The ground, for instance, appropriated
for a cemetery on the North River, 8 or 9 miles
from the city, and which has been little used,
as it can never remain permanent, ia very val
uable. The city property already mentioned,
if clear of lease and property improved, would
yield an annual income of a million. In re-

Paris. March 13. Spring dresses and hats
begin to be displayed in open carriages of the
lightest colors pink, blue, 1'dae and white,
and parasols to natch, which must cost from
two to four hundred francs, for a fashionable
woman 1 The handles of these parasols are of
coral, gold, ivory, or tortoise shell, ornamented
with precious stones. The Bilk should match
the hat it shades I All dresses must be trim
med excessively with flounces, rvrhes, and rib
bons ad libitum. You cannot possibly overload
either robe or head, for the present style. Re
ally, a Purisan lady, in full toilette, is to me a
most absurd object ; but tastes differ, fortu
nately for the merchants, who now ought to
grow rich, I think.
Lent having put a check on balls, and con
certs in public and private, "receptions" are
the rage. The most fashionable American la
dy in Paris, Mrs.; Jtidgeway, will be home for
the-inext 'fotir Fjridays,;' ("she ha already giv
en two magnificent balls;) The resident part
ner of Livingston! Wells & Co., W. H. Babbitt,
had issued cards for "every Saturday evening."
Neither ur Minister nor our Consul has enter
tained, (is yet, but almost all the other Ameri
cans here throw open their apartments fre
quently to the world, and seem to delight in
keeping up the American reputation for hospi
tality, even in Paris. The recent fine weather
has revived every one, and the streets and
drives are crowded with promenaders, after
mid day. In New York, ladies dress to exhi
bit themselves on Broadway, or in the Fifth'
Avenue ; here, in the Bois de Boulogne, where
every one goes from two to five o'clock, and
where you see the newest and richest robes
trailing'th the mud. while equipages pace along
slowly tn the road until their wearers nave
seen the new dresses all around, when the la
dies re-enter their carriages, and drive on to
inspect others, who are in turn getting out to
exhibit, themselves.
n LAST NIGHTS MAIL!
ply to the Legislature, the Church confesses to
a ground rent of $64,397. The long leases of
the Church and College property are a serious
hindrance to improvements in the lower part
of the city, and mdirectlv hasten the up town
movement. It has never Been aiiegea inai
good use is not made of the revenues of
the Church, and, ample as -they are, the de
mands more than equal tbem. The trastees
are men of high standing and character, and
as the berth is a good one, good men can al
ways be found to fill it. As the greater part ef
the population here are slaves to landlords, it
makes no difference whether the Church is pro
prietor or not. It would be well if the Church
were to set the example of moderation and
charity, and not to grind the faces of tenants
as sharply as other landlords do.
The directors of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail
Road Company are endeavoring to raise funds
to enable them to commence operations. The
starting point is to be at Shreveport on the
Red River, and from there to the vicinity of
Marshall in Texas, where Rail Roads from
Louisiana. Tennessee, and Arkansas terminate.
Established routes to the West will be used as
far as they go, and the Central Road of North
Carolina will be completed in time 'to take its
hare of the travel on the great line to the Pa
cific. As it will be one of the most direct, a
large i mount of patronage may be expected.
The legislature of Texas granted to the Pacific
Rail Road Company lands to the amount of
four or five millions upon condition that the
sum of $300,000 cash should be paid into the
treasury of the State, and fifty miles of Rail
Road be comoleted within its limits. This last
condition would have been sufficient without the

Much money changed hands.
Boston. April 7. The statement recently
made public that Hon. Edward Everett was the
author of the celebrated Hulseman letter
creates no excitement in this city whatever; nei
ther has the disclosure of the fact caused any
ill-feeling between the friends of the late Mr.
Webster and Senator Everett. The original
draft of the letter was returned to U r. Everett
more ; than a year ago, by Mr. Webster's litera
ry executors, and a printed copy taken, which,
with the original, will be preserved among Mr.
Everett's papers. He does not contemplate
any publication. Mr. Everett's recent visit to
Boston had nothing to do with the matter. He
came simply to visit his wife, who, for some
time past, has been in very delicate health.
CONGRESS I
Thfi Senate on Tuesday, after disposing of
the usual morning business, yielded to a re
quest of M-. Badger to defer the consideraiion
of Executive business that the bill aUowing
a credit for duties on railroad iron might be ;
considered : and this bill having been taken
up, it led; to a discussion which occupied the
remainder of the sitting. Its further consider
ation was then postponed to the 24th in-itant.
In the House of Representatives, Mr. ken-
nett's bill; granting lands equally to the seve
ral States, came up for consideration ; and, af
ter an ineffectual motion to lay it upon the ta
ble, it was postponed far two weeks.
1 he House resumed, in Committee or the
Whole, the consideration of the Civil and Dip-;
loraatic Appropriation bill, but. made no pro
gress thereon. Mr. Cullum.of Tennessee, spoke .
an hour on the Nebraska. bill, considering it in
'the aspect of an attempted repudiation of the 1
obligations of some of the most distinguished ;
then of the country, and denying that the peo
ple of the South had asked for the mpasure from
their own representatives, or desired it at the
hands of a Northern champion.

Home Government, gives additional interest to
the coming contest. It is one, also, in the re
sult of which protestants ought to feel a deep
interest, since the Russian Emperor does not
tolerate protestantism, nor the circulation of
the Bible in his dominions, and, being himself
the nead of the Greek Church there, appoints
and removes his priests as he does his civil and
military officers. I
The members of the Greek Church in Turkey
are as free to worship God after their own man
ner as the Catholics are here. The Greek Pat
riarch, who resides in Constantinople, is the head
of1 this Church in Turkey, and is entirely un
restrained by the Turkish government. Bnt
Nicholas claims that he ought to be the head of
this Church in Turkey as well as in his own
Empire ; and has made every effort to become
boL To this, however, the Turkish government
will not listen, and she is right, as the Church,
in that case, would become a mere political
machine in the bands of Nicholas, with which
to create disturbances and embarrassments in
the Sultan's dominions. '
I understand that a speech will soon be made
upon this Eastern question in the Senate," by a
Senator competent to enlighten the public upon
a topic so little understood in this country.
1 OBSERVER.
The following suggestion we take from
the N. Y. Herald :
A Sick Man. The Emperor Nicholas in his
familiar conversations with the British Minis
ter at St. Petersburg aptly describes the Em-
rveror of Turkev as a sick man on his dying bed,
and thinks it is wise to arrange the division of
his estates among heirs, while he is yet alive,
so as to prevent the fearful squabble which
must otherwise ensue after his death. So with
President Pierce at this time. He, too, is a sick
man, and the sooner the democracy arrange the
distribution of his political effects the better.
The Emperor Nicholas is a long-beaaea politi
cian. Let the democracy reflect upon his ad
vice, and act accordingly.

with too much avidity this opportunity of real

1000 Acres of Land for Sale.
THE Subscriber wishes to sell kis lands in the
county of Beaufort. They lie on a large and
navigable stream, (Woutn jreeK,; wmcn empties
into Pamplice River, on its Southern side, some,
thirty miles east of the town of Washington. Said
lands are a part of the large and fertile swamp,
formerly owned by Isaiah Respass, Esq., can be
easily drained, and, competent judges say, render
ed as productive as the best lands in the county of
Hyde.
The tract is a dense unbroken forest, and offers
the most flattering inducements to the planter,
who wishes to establish a profitable farm in
North Carolina.
These land, at Mattamuskeet, would command
thirty dollars 'per acre, and are really more valua
ble, located, as they are, in a region of country
seldom, if ever, visited by storm, and altogether
removed front the danger of floods and tides.
They would be sold upon the most liberal terms,
and a nerfeet ; title triven the purchaser.
Any person or persons wishing to purchase said
lands can do so by calling upon him at Mr- Law
rence's Hotel, Raleigh, or upon Mr. Wm. H. Wil
lard, of Washington, N. C, whom he has author
iied to act as agent in the premises for him.

RETURN OF THE JAPAN SQUADRON.
ThA Washington Star, of Thursday, says :
We have everv reason to believe that, Ion g
1 since, on notifying the Government of his prom
,ise to return this spring to Japan to receive the
answer of the Emperor to our proposals, tne
Commodore was instructed to comply with that
engagement with all the ships under his com
mand that could be spared from the Chinese
seas ; and then to return home with all his ves
sels, except a steamer and two sloops of war,
which are to remain in that quarter as the reg
ular U.S. East India squadron. And further,
that the returning vessels will come home via
the Pacific, touching at San Francisoo, and oth
er most important points in the usual Pacific
route, thence to the United States. The com
modore is expected to return himself, overland,
with as little delay a yosiiW.
Senator Gwin has broken up his house
hold establishment at Washington all to be
sold at auction on Thursday next. Mrs. uwin,
children and servants sail in the next steamer
for California, (the George Law,) and the Sen
ator, it is stated, will follow, as soon as he can
leave the senate, ad election ior a unitea
States Senator comes off on the third Monday of
the present month, and it is supposed Dr. Gwin
will find it hard work to secure a re-election, as
he is all at once hard pressed by a strange op
ponent. It is stated in the San Francisco Ad
vertiser, that the Hon. David C. Broderick, the
"great New York subterranean hero," will beat
him beyond a doubt.
Important if true. The Washington corres
pondent of the New York Herald says that the
President soon expects to receive an answer
from the Spanish government, positively refus
ing to accede to the demand made with regard
to the Black Warrior affair, together with infor
mation that England and France have despatch
ed strong fleets to re-inforce their squadrons in
the West Indies, thus carrying out the terms of
the secret treaty to uphold the Spanish dynasty
at Cuba.
