From the St. Louis Republican, July 30. F o & t L abamis , July 1st, 1850. For a few days past the emigration has very sensibly diminished, but still the road is throng ed, and a large crowd yet behind. Up to last evening the number of names registered at this place was 38,312. The number of wagons 8 ,- 773. Making a small allowance for those who have not pat down their names, we shall bave about 40,000 tor the number of those who have passed this point. The leading trains passed heTe two months since, and must now be io tbe vicinity of Sacra mento. Between that point and this, there is one continaoas line of gold diggers dragging its slow length towards the Pacific. From the scarcity of provisions among many of the emi grants, there can be but little doubt that the suf fering will be frightful in tbe California moun tains. Government should push forward from California supplies to rdlieve those wbo started on a 2,660 miles journey with provisions for 1,500.

Disasters in Mew York. On the afiern* oa of the 5tb, two men were killed by the falling of a portion of the rear of a six-story brick building—No. 40, Spruce st.,and four others seriously injured. They, with oth ers, were at work upon the building, and a por tion of the rear wail had been taken down for (he purpose of enlarging. The crash was terrific— 10 or 15 of the workmen went down with the falling mass. The same afternoon a wall in process of erec tion at No. 52 Mercer st., was knocked over by the falling of the gable end'of a stable against it, killing one of the workmen and injuring 3 others. Riot in N ew York. —On Monday last, a se rious riot, attended with loss of life, oceurred in Thirty-eighlh st., New York. It appears that a party of German Tailors, numbering about 200 , who were on strike for wages, proceeded to the house o f a German tailor who was making up large quantities o f clothing at less than the ad vance prices. They had made an altack upon the house with a view fo demolish it, and badly beaten it® inmates. The Police having been sent for, tbeir appearance was the signal for a gene ral riot. The Tailors fought with desperation for some time with brickbats, pistols, knives,and slung shot, but the Police finally overpowered them, and in the general melee two are reported to be killed, and a large number supposed to be mortally Wounded, and forty taken prisoners and conveyed to jail. We publish from the N. Y-. Cour. & Enq. a revelation of some of the intrigues of the dis unionists at the South. We have no doubt of the truth of the charge. For ten years back, at least, these intriguers have been at work to find pretence and bccasioo for the ei-tablishmeni of a Soqthero Confederacy. Many officers in the army know of the plot. Many leading politi cians have been aware of it. The tariff, the a p propriations, the Wilmot proviso, the admission of California, have, by turns, served for a pre tence of complaint, but the real element and mo ving power of these successive clamors, has been the ambition of a few men to establish a mong rel Empire in the South’. But if the plot is a real one, it is none the less a shallow one. The mass of the people of the South are loyal and true to the Union. They would punish these intriguers if they could reach their. They want no Mexican Empire, and no British alliance—no ' ‘ Southern United Slates,” such as the South Carolina papers begin to hint of. The emissary who offered lhe Southern States as part of a Mexican Confederacy, has an im pudent imposter; and, like the lempter on the Mount, who proffered the kingdoms ofthe Earth to Him to fall down and worship him, have no Empires to give or power to bestow. Heieceiv- ed his commission from a disappointed cliqueand not from the people of any of the States. But if the citizens of the South were impreg nated wiih the treasonable ambition of the dema gogues who deceive them, they could never ac complish their wishes \ If there are to be two alienated Confederacies, (we suggest the names of “ Niagarau” and “ Nigerian” to distinguish the two) the separated States must depend up on foreign aliances. But when Mexico refuses them, where are they to go ? They bave offered “ to leave these fair fields lo batten on this moor,” and been turn ed off. Where next ? Is there a lower deep ? Will Faustin the First extend the protection that the Mexican Cabinet refused, even at the solici tation of the British Minister? This dream of disunion is as visionary and unsubstantial as the revery of an opium eater. The physical formation of the country forb ds it. Tbe deep seated love of the people make it im possible till many generations shall have passed awav, for even the tradition of the devotion to it of tbeir ancestors, will long endear it to tbe race. .Be il enacted, <J-c., That the following propo sitions shall he, and the same hereby, are, offered to the State of Texas, which, when agreed to by the ssid State in pet passed by the general assem bly, shall be binding and obligatory on llie Unit ed States ond .upop the said State o f T'exas: Provided, That said agreement by the said gene ral assembly shall be givi i on or before tfae 1 st December, 1850. First. The State of Texas will agree that her boundary on the north shall commence at the point at which the meridian of 100 degs. west of Greenwich is intersected by the parallel of 36° and 30 mins. norlh latitude, and shall run from said point due west to the meridian of 103. degs west from Greenwich; thence her boundary shall run due south to tbe 32d deg. of norib .latitude; thence on the said parallel of 32 degs. of north latitude to the Rio Bravo del Norte ; and thence witb the channel of said river to the Gulf of Mexico. Second. The State of Texas cedes to tbe U. States all her territory exterior to her limits and boundaries, which she agrees to establish by the first article of this agreement. Third Tbe State of Texas relinquishes all claim upon tbe United States for liability for the debts of Texas, and for compensation or indem nity for the surrender to the United States of her ships, forts, arsenals, custom house revenues, arms and munitions of war,and public buildi ng with their sites, which became the property o‘ the United States at the time of the annexation. Fourth. The United States, in consideiation of said reduction ol boundaries, cession of terri tory, and relinquishment of claims, will pay to the State of Texas the sum of ten millions of dollars in a stock bearing five per cent interest, and redeemable at the end of fourteen years, the interest payable half-yearly at the treasury of the United Slates. Fifth. Immediately after the President of the United States shall have been furnished witb an authentic copy of the act of the general assem bly of Texas, accepting these propositions, he shall cause the stock to be issued in favor of the State of Texas, as provided for in the fifth arti- cle-of this agreement. Provided , also ,That five millions of said stock shall not be issued until tbe creditors ot the said State, holding bonds of Texas, for which duties on imports were specially pledged, shall first fiie at the treasury of the United States, releases ol claims against the United States for or on ac count of said bonds.

One of the arguments and reasons that were urged upon the persons to whom this scheme was submitted, as entitling it to a favorable con sideration, was that the City of Mexico would irobably be selected as the capital of tbe new Stnpire, since a part of the plan embraced the extension of its territory, peaceable or forcibly, further south. That project was laid before the Mexican cabinet by M. Laconza, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and was urged by him in coun cil, in a speech of considerable length. It was resisted by other members ol tbe cabinet, and finally declined. Tbe agent of tbis nefarious scheme left, soon after, for California. Mr. Doyle, the British Minister, was made aware of these proceedings, if he did not lend them countenance; but tbe impression is, tbat the conspiracy received decided encouragement from the British legation. lam restrained by considerations, affecting the personal safety of in dividuals, from disclosing the reasons which op erated on the Mexican cabinet for rejecting this infamous overture, and also of doing justice to those who entitled themselves to immortal honor for scorning and denouncing the proposition of the traitors. Tb® day may vot be distant, when they can receive all justice, and with less danger than at prestnt. President Taylor was not ig norant of fhis desigu, and with his usual sagaci- 4y ami resolution, bad provided against injurious fioosetfurneey. It might be tnoo’ed ae a serious question, whether it is not the duty o f oar gov ernment to demand of Mexico, whether a scheme for its dihnaearberoient was thus entertained. 1 undertake to say,emphatically and unqualifiedly, sueh is my confidence in the Ittftirmattoa placed at my disposal:, go far as the great fart is con cerned,that this movement may t e verified' io eve ry essential particular tbat I bave stated, if Oon- <gres* er toe.Executive Department wifi direct the necessary inquiries to be instituted. If the proof wsri questionable 3n any form, 1 would not i«ft sl, j U - aye* R e s p o n d ' to New Mexico; that the Governor had accept ed them, that the Iroops had sent to Senator Ru-k to command them, and that 15,000 could be procured il desired. Bnt the march is across an immense 1 desert, E l Llanos Estucado, the staked plains, staked, as by telegraphic poles, in amcient times by the Mexicans, to guide their caravans across this trackless wasteof 250miles.
