Indeed, nothing of much importance has yet been done in the Fed. eral Legislature. We will endeavor, in a short but rapid glance, to give thota items of intelligence from Washington, which we think will be most interesting.

At a meeting of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina, held at the Ma sonic Hall in this City, on Saturday even ing the 7th inst., the following brethren were elected officers for the ensuing year : Brother P. W. Fanning, of Wilmington, Grand Master; Thomas S. Clark, Gr. Sen. Warden; A. S. Mooring, Gr. Jun. Warden ; C. W. D. Hutchings, Gr. Trea surer; William Thos. Bain, Gr. Secreta ry. Red. Independent. U. S. Senators. Thos. Cor win, Fed., elected by the Legislature of Ohio, in place of Mr. Tappan, present incumbent. Hon. Dlxion H. Lewis, elected by the Legislature of Alabama. He now holds a seat in the Senate by appointment of the Governor. The Great Mail. We are gratified to learn that the Great Southern Mail will.be transport ted to this City, after the first of January next, on the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road ; and will be carried to Fayetteville in a four horse post coach. The metropolitan line is ifself again. tiat, iStar. of the Mexican Army, destined for the in vasion ot Texas. This order, amongst other things, declares that any person who shall be found east of the Rio Grande, shall be regarded as a traitor, and shall suffer death as such. Mr. Calhoun, (our Secre tary of State,) in view of this, writes a long letter of instructions to Gov. Shannon, our Minister, in which he gives, ailength, the views which the Government of this coun try entertain in regard to this projected in vasion of Texas. He argues, and justly, wo think, that the war of extermination which the Mexican Government has de clared its intention to wa;e against Texas, shocks every feeling of justice & humanity that Texas is as much a sovereign and independent power as herselt, that this! Government, acted in a spirit of perfect fairness and justice in negotiating the trea ty of annexation that that question is still before the government & people of the U. S.. and that, therefore, his (Mr. Caihtuns) government cannot but look upon the de claration of war against Texas under the present circumstances as entirely deroga tory and insulting to the dignity and rights of this country. He therefore, instructs Gov. Shannon, our Minister at the Mexi can Court, to remonstrate firmly but res pectively against the course pursued by Mexico. Gov. Shannon does so, and the Mexican Minister replies in a note couched in language plainly and broadly insulting to the Government and people of this country. He charges this Government with double dealing, faithlessness, decep tion &c, and that in the most unequivocal terms. Gov. Shannon rejoins that the tone and language of the Mexican -Minister is so discourteous and insulting that he can proceed no farther in the negotiation until that insulting note is withdrawn. Rijon, the Mexican Minister, in his reply to this letter of Governor Shannon, not on ly refuses to withdraw, but reiterates the charges of fraud contained in his first nte. Thereupon, for the present, of course, all diplomatic communication between the two Governments is at an end. Our Minister has despatched Gen. Duff Green, as a spe cial messenger, to lay before our Govern ment, the whole correspondence, r.nd a vait its decision upon it. What that de cision will be, we cannot at present surmise. We have every confidence, however that it will be firm and enlightened. We are strongly inclined to think that the high and insulting tone assumed by the Mexica abatement." The Hon. Louis D. Hen ry was charged by the Federal organ in this place, with "fraudulent voting, and or th with all the little dogs, the J rays and Blanchards of coonery copied the accusa tion. Now that the Hon. Judge Battle, a Whig, is found guilty of precisely the same conduct, w hich he has the manliness to come out and confess in a letter, which we give below, as it will throw some light on rrauawcni voting, me ncgiaici forthwith enters up for his honor a "plea in ahatemenl.' Well, we suppose the coons, w ho have all the decency, can afford to vote fraudulently as long as they please. and it's all right; but the moment one" ol the poor "low ragramuffin Democracy," as the renowned James Watson Webb calls them, is guilty of any such lapsis, donner and blitsen! he ought to be held up to the eyes of the world as a monster. . The fact is, we don't think either of the gentlemen alluded to, has committed the slightest fraud ; but we want to shew our readers how utterly inconsistent the Federal Edi tors are. We suppose their maxim you mustnt do as I do, but as I say. Below is Judge Battle's letter, addressed to the Editor of the "Standard," by which it will be seen that he voted out of his own county, and according to the authority of the "Chronicle," where he had no rij;ht to vote : Chapel Hill, Nov. 1844. To the Editor of the Standard: Df.au Sik : My attention has been called to an article in your last paper, headed M Judge Battle guilty of fraudulent voting;" and commenting up on the fact of my having voted in the county of Had your informant stated the circumstances under which my vote was given, I should have had nothing is, r r f , , 1 " 1 1 merty. 'reronaiiy, as ivjr. oiaysays. we denrecate the change. VV e hope, as 1 3 we intimated above, that it is only a ru mor, and that things will go on in the old way. An outrage of a very aggravated nature was perpetrated in this place, on Sunday morning last. The circumstances attend ing it are these, as well as we could ga ther them. Mr. Thomas Hidden very well known in thp community as a .respectable and in dustrious citizen was employed at the Theatre to receive the money, &c, on last Saturday night, at which lime and place a dispute arose between him and a man by the name of A. L. D. Johnson. We be lieve the dispute was about the price of a ticket. When Johnson left the Theatre on that night, we understand he told Hol den he would settle with him in the morn ing, meaning that he would seek satisfaction. Accordingly about br"akfast-time next I c,eav!an'l l the late Presidential election. morning, he called at the house of Mr. :.i 1 .1 1 . 0 ' " innucii, wmi a gun, anu requesieo mm to sav; but as 1 am unwillin to be condemned un (Hidden) to step out, he wanted to see heard upon a partial exparte statement, I trust you fie, of South Carolina, introduced a seiiet of resolutions for the annexstion of Texas, similar in their import to Mr. Tyler's bill of April last. On the same day, Mr. Bert' ton gave notice that he would introduce i bill for the annexation of Texas. In the House, on the same day, John Q. Adams presented a petition from citi. zens of New-York, for the abolition ol sla very .in the Distric t of Columbia. Rtfer. red to the Committee on the Distrit ofCtj. lumbia. Mr. J. R. Ingersoll presented a memorial from Pennsylvania, praying an alteration in the Naturalization laws, ma king the residence twenty-one years. In the Senate, on the 11th inst., a reio lution was introduced by Mr. Allen, catling on the President to lay before that body die negotiations on the Oregon que ton. In the House, Mr. Duncan's hill, nia king the day of Election for Presidentuni. lorm throughout the United State?, was read the second time and ieferred. Aboli tion petitions in any quantity have been presented. Well, we say if the battle mtut he fought any how, just as well soon ni late. The question of questions before Congress just af this time indeed se suppose at the present Session is the An nexation f 'iVxas question.
