From the Washington Correspondent of the Houston
Morning Star:
Washington. Dec. 25, 1842.
On Saturday the general appropriation bill was under
consideration in the Bouse. A motion was made to in-
sertl00,000 for the protection of the frontier lost. A
motionSvas then made to inserf$60,000 lost.
The'Tnll transferring $4,80K) of the $20,000 appropri-
ation, was finatly passed by both houses, and stnt to the
President.
Mr. Lawrence introduced n bilnn the Senate to locate
the seal "of government at Washington, aud to accept of
the propositions made by sundryjndtviduals of this place,
tendering lots low, &c. reaa isi ". uum uouses uu-
journed junfil Iff o'clock Monday morning.
Judge Webb and Col. Caldwell are candidates without
opposition, for Senator and Representative.
' CoL Cazneau: arrived in town this evening. Mr.
Lewis returned last evening, and the balance of the west
ern members are expected in a few days. There are
several rumors in town from the army, the most probable
one of which is, that the army had crossed the Rio Gran
de, was well received by the Mexican Rancheros, and
that no-fightingJMexicans could be discovered ; they cros-
sed. Loredo as, is staled.
Christmas with us has not been characterized with any
Tjflhe'accblripHrryTttenlsTisually attendant upon the return
of it3 smilingcountenance. The day has been gloomy,
wet, and anything but pleasant; nd with the exception
of a few straggling events, nothing has transpired to re-
mind usithat "merry Christmas" has really paid us anoth-
er visitrj-ajparty -is to be given to-morrow evening in the
Senate chamber. The Mustang left this morning for be-
low : I understand she will return in 10 or 12 days.
a. Dec 27, 1842.
The general appropriation bill was under consideration
to-dav m the House, and. was ordered to be engrossed
without any material alteration. A bill authorizing the
President to collect and convey the. Indian prisoners now
in Texas to the Waco village, passed both houses to-day.
The Indians make it one of the conditions upon which
they will consent to treat, that a mutual exchange of pris-
oners shall be affected.
Mr. Smith introduced a bill into the Senate to provide
for the protection of the frontier. It contemplates that a
regiment of the militia shall be called into the field, and
shall continue their service for the term of six months;
upon the expiration of which time another regiment shall
take their place, and so on; an Adjutant General and a
Quartermaster is to be appointed by the President, with
the advice and consent of ihe Senate. The committee on
military affairs, however, in the House, are to report in
the morninjr, and doubtless will teport a bill which will
supercede the one introduced in the Senate, as that one
will not meet the approbation of the West generally.
The bill to locate the seat of government came up on
its 2d reading in the Senate. Mr. Jones presented a me-
morial andprqpositions from San Felipe, (through Mr.
Portis,) making" very liberal offers to the government in
case the seat of government be removed to that place; the
bill, together with the memorial and propositions from the
place and from San Felipe, we're referred to a select com-
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Jack, Lawrence and Jones;
but little excitement and scarcely any interest is manifest-
ed in relation to.the subject, and from present appearances
hardly think the bill will be urged.
There was nothing done in either House yesterday, as
Christmas happening upon Sundny the members were
divided as to the proper day on which to celebrate the
same, consequently every one followed their-qwri inclina-
tions, and some took Saturday and some Monday, others
tfiiiv, 'Sunday and Monday, antra lewextenued the
TPrm intoJUonday nifpit and even into tils morningr-53-pecialhr
those who attended the "fandango" last evening,
which was adjourned until after breakfast this morning,
and has been in occasional operation through the day, and
to be wound up tonight I understand. .Mr. and Mrs.
Durham prepared a supper that would have done credit
to any place, and particularly taking into consideration
the few facilities to "be met witn here.

fied bv a Court-Martial. There beina no law in force

The Oranges of Florida. The St Augustine News
states thatthis delightful fruit, and on asuccessful cultiva-
tion of which a great portion of East Florida have looked
as a means of support, has for some time been affected by
the ravages of an insect, (cocus.) threatening'a total des-
truction of the trees. Various efforts ba.ve been tried, but
with a partial .success, as the trees continue to die, and
the inspcts to flourish In some instances the fruit is cov-
ered with the murdrous epicures A variety of experi
ments have been tried, such, as the evolution of gasses un-
der the trees, application of water, a washing with whale
oil soap, and as yet nothing has been successful.
