Mr Dsar. Mottius It is more a matter of re
joicing to Americans abroad, than Congress sup
poses, when Foreign Ministers are the kind of
men, in manners and mental culture, to da credit
to the country. Mr. McLean's appointment as
Minister to England is a worthy succession to
that of Mr. Everett two more admirable repre
sentatives little likely to appear at the English
court for uny nation. I was dining a day or two
since with a former member of the Queen's ca
binet, and, in the London papers of that morning,
Mr. McLean's appointment had been announced.
Our host spoke of Mr. McLean and afterwards

. i i ,, , I of Mr. Everett, with a whole hearted tribute to
muir, yiiii'n me roau Mian op extended uirougn
to Indiana, ami persuaded a man to come to Lee
mid Ogle counties with several yoke i oxen
jiinl a cart, toscJI apples. The man bad about
SoflO with bim. lie proposed to West to go
and kill hiiu. West would not go, oud so the
tuan was saved. This Divis, about six years
?o, with a man by the oauie of Seailes, found
out that a man was travelling between Prinee
toiiund Hennepin with money. They waited
rn the urusli, neaj keeper's Mills, and shot him
from his horse as he rod along the rond. They
got his money, from ijiOIKJto iji-fXI, dragged him
l within thirty rods of the c-teek, on the left
baud Hide of the road, nnd left iiiiu behind a big.
This murder was never mistrusted, nor has (he
body ever been found. This Davis may hi;
known by having one of his ears bit vl3. At
Bridges, ii tlie bushes nenr the house, a caucus
was held, which decided on the murder ol'Cump
bell. Bridge was present, as a Iho were several
of theDr-skclls, Birch and Sutton. It was vo
ted tliat yming Driskell sliouUl kill Campbell,
as he did.
Bridge was at Inlet Grove on tbe night of the
murder, and West was making bogus snd sell
ing it two for one for Michigan money at Platte
ville, Wisconsin. West got clear when arres
ted for his knaveries there, by getting Dewey
and Bliss, of Inlet Grove, to go his bail, and he
ran away. Bliss and Dewty are now in Alton
I'euiientiary. After the murder of Campbell,
old urn u Driskell and his son, Win. Driskell,
were Linched, and young Driskell and Biidge
tied from the Lynchers. Driskell never return
ed to his State, but has figured extensively as
mi incendiary in St. l-on is and other Sjuthern
cities. Ho was lar-t seen trying to pet a passage
down the river from St. Iauus, but the Captain
would not take him. Soon after the Captain
refused him the police came on board to arrest
him for setting a building on fire. Sutton stole
a hot ia from Dr. Adams three years ngn, and
fed at diss' hoiiro, who is now in the Peniten
tiary. Bircii, Thomas, Atken and Baker stole
horses fvo years ago this summer, at Warren
county, and brought them up to Washington
Grove, Ogle county, and were there arrested by
the Warren county officer and were taken back.
B.rcli wus not bound over, but Aiken and Haker
were, nnd afterwards broke jail. Thomas At
ken lives iitH.) miles up the Missouri river on a
fnrin, six mill's lock from it, and keeps enter
tainment. Baker is still in service, here, and
there and every where, stealing horses, robbing
houses, killing men, and pa-ning bills on "well
regulaied banking institutions, stockholders indi
vidually responsible." In the Mulford robbery,
Birch was present and told Mulford whilst
tearehinL' his house, "My name ia Haines; I
nm n robber ; it is a legil profession ; I have fol
lowed it for years, and no two men can take
me."
Mr-Dole, now in Rockford jail, field the rifle
to Mulford' breast. Davis helped Birch search
the house. Charles Oliver, now in Rockford
jail, planned the concern, but did not attend.
Birch gave Oliver a large share of the money,
which he owed him for board, and on an old di
vision of stolen property. Oliver not daring to
pass the money, made an exchange with Bridge
fort lot of stolen horses ; and Bridge went to
Peru and got a friend there to exchange it.
There was a robbery in Iowa, last winter, of
Biercr, formerly a merchant at Rockford. Oli
ver is said to have planned it, and put Birch on
the track. Although Bierer was a brother-in-law
of McDole, and he knew what was on foot,
he dsre not interfere to prevent it. Birch is
known to be the man who s'ole a horse at I-a
Moile, in Aureau count), on the 3d June, one
rainy night, and run him until ho tired him out
and then jumped off at the east end of Pulistiue
Grove, and went on foot, lie went to Bridges,
snd was followed by the inlet people without
success. It is generally known tint he went
from Bridges down Uock Rive r and down the
Mississippi to Nsuvoo, and a man answering
Ins description was seen in the Nauvoo region.
He had sgrecd to get Bridge out of of jn I, and
beucu he was removed fiom Dixon to Rockford.
Bridge is now confined for plotting the breaking
open the Dixon Land Office, for receiving sto
len money taken from Mr. Haskill, at Inlet
Grove, by Sutton, and also for receiving two sto
len horses from Birch at Inlet Grove. Bridge,
with Dewey, Davis, Birch, Sutton, Baker, Lane,
Bliss iSc Co., laid a plot to overhaul the stage,
of guano, trom an apprehension that the supply
might fail, and that so powerful a stimulus would
injure the soil, unless the same substance could
be annually applied. Erroneous as this last no
tion is, it will perhaps be more or less entertain
ed until repented experiments sli:ill have shown
in this country, as in others, that its tendency
is permanently invigorating :
The fear that there w ill not be found an am
ple supply on the coast of Peru ulmir, for the
"wants of Europe, and the Uuiud Stutes, will
cease v ith those who can give credit to an i fli
cisl report made to the Peruvian Government,
in li l'J, and published at Limn, under the au
thority of the Treasury depBrtinenl,(.liii.erif
tie Hndentta. This report wives the result of a
survey mnde by order of the Peruvian govern
ment, of three islets near Pisco, in latitude about
14 dep. South, called the I'liinehas, where is
found one of the mnvy deposits of punno, which
abound on tbe cons' of Peru nrd Ruliv'n, to an
extent of HKI miles. The surveyor, after ome
remarksupon the origin and nature of jjuano,
states that, from admeasurement.be toiind the
superficial extent of the deposits on these three
islets to be l,.ri."i I,4(M npiare yards (the vnra
is computed at !WJ inches. English.) and the
depth to vary according to the iriegubir surface
of the rock upon which it is based ; but mnkiuo
liberal allowance for the points of rock rising a
bove the bed of the gennral mass, h calculates
an avvrafje ihplht'f (K) vuras, which gives the
sum total of 5t:i,i;(i l,:i(!0 cubic vars. The re
port ad. Is, "The cubic v.ira of guano as found in
these deposits weighs more than half a ton ; but
taking no account of the rx.-ess, wo have here
-lfl,f)3"2.10 tons which, if extracted at the
rate of TiO OtKl tons per annum, wml l last more
than 000 years : and v.iloed at scitl per ton, n
mounts to sVl.'Jfl !,(( KM NX), a sum such ns no
mine has as jet pioduced."
Mak ng every reasonable iil'oAniice fur er
rors of survey, nnd over estimate of depth, I
think here is abundant evidence that Peru,
from these islets alune, enn supply the world
with guano for many ccoeiat ous.

Correspondence of the Public Ledger.
Ji-ly 10, IS43. To judge from the tone of the
British Prints, England is now resigned to the
Annexation of Texas. It is now mentioned mere
ly as a historical fact. "Tbe Texans," says the
Times and other papers of more or less standing,
"deserve to lose their nationality, which bas
scarcely lasted ten years ; they were unfit to
preserve it ; they sold themselves to the highest
bidder.' And in the same breath the London
Times asserts that it is not the fnor inlerfnt of
Texas which will decide the question of annex
ation, but the number of voir w hich the Ameri
can party would be able to smuggle info the
Texan Congress. This is about as fair ss tbe
usual argument of English writers on matters
concerning the T'nited States. Ths Texans nre
Americans, and by returning into the fold that
is, by re-annexing themselves to the mother
country they set to the world one of the noblest
ex.tmples recorded in history. It is usual for
colonies to improve every chance of making
themselves independent as England bas certainty
learned by our own case. When their indepeii
; dence is voluntarily resigned, it proves that the
laws ami institutions of the mother country are
! neither selfish nor tyrannical ; her protecting
' equally all classes and strong enough to protect
j those living at a distance ns citizens under their
immediate influence. A nation is not easily de
' ceived about her own true interests, and we are
1 yet to learn the case in which England has, from
disinterested motives, offered her friendship or
protection to any people.
If th English negotiators, in Texas, haveh"en
bilked, they were served a. from their officious
! interference in matters vrhith did not concern
tln'm. tlicy richly merited. If Commodoie Elli
ott and little Mmtrir ilr S'alniwfi were so fool
ish as to believe that by securing the Executive
of Texas, they were sure of the whole nation, it
is but proper that they should fie punished for
ch-rishing such obob-te European notions.
