LATE FROM TEXAS.

| LAlE FROM TEXAS.
From the N. O. Comm, Herald, Jure 1.
I TExAs.-We learn by letter from
our Texas correspondent, that the army
there is in a sad state of insubordina-
ton; and this is principally owing to
their being kept so long in a state of
inactivity, and that they have threat
ened to elect their own officers, and
march for Metamoras Immediately, and
pay themselves. with plumber, unless
the Government enters into some ar
rangemeht instantly for offensive ope-
rations against Mexico. In conse-
quence Of this conduct on the part of
the mass of the soldiers, General A. S.
JOHNSON, the Commander-in- Chief,
left the amy and went to Houston, and
held a secret conference with the Cab
met during two or three days; the re-
suit of which has not transpired, but we
learn that he insists upon resigning, I'M
less the Government gives him orders
to march to Metamoras. Further, our
informant states thatthe soldiers threat
ened to march upon Houston, and fire
every house in it, if the Cabinet allow
ed the land Office to be opened, accor-
ding to announcement, on the LIST of
June; they stating that the spectators
and idlers would be able to locate the
choice lands, whilst their military duties
in the field would prevent them from
procuring a fair participation in the To-
cation ofeligible lands. In consequence
of such demonstration Of, feeling,
President Houston, by proclamation,
prohibited the opening Of the land Of
fee, according to former announce
ment.
1t was expected at Houston that the
Congress would hold but short sess-
ion, and adjourn before the 4th Of Ju-
Ily. A minister is to be sent from Tex
as to Great Britain, to reqiiest the latter
Power to recognise the INDEPENDENCE
of the former.
Col. Teal of the Texan army, has
been assassinated, by some deluded
wretch, in his own marquee.
VERY LATE FROM FLORIDA.
From the Savannah Georgian Extra, June 8.
From Tampa.-An express arrived
last night from Tampa with dispatches
to Gen. ARMIsTEAD, who is charged
with the defence of the country east
and south of the St. John river. Their
contents, sofar as. we can ascertain, are
not of a very favorable character, tho
but little is mentioned Of the state of
affairs in that quarter. No mention is
made Of any shipments of emigrants.
General JEsUp doubts the faith of the
Indians, and intends continuing the
posts nowestabished. 1.-THE posts are
broken up the Indians will not emf
CRATE. The post at New Smyrnais Or
dered to be established, and, in compli-
ance with this order, Capt. Webster's S.
company of artillery VIII be conveyed
by the steamboat to take position there.
Information had been communicate
ed to Gen. JEsUP by Governor CALL,
that Is men, women, and children had
been murdered on the Alphabetical
river, supposed to be by Creeks. Mai.
Nelson's battalion has been ordered to
report to Governor Call.
| We have rumor after rumor of the
movements and disposition of the In
dams towards emigration, both favora-
BILE and unfavorable; and now many if
not all, begin to look upon the prospects
Of the close of the war as yet far dis
tant. One rumor says that General
IEsup has expressed his opinion that
they cannot be got offbefore fall and
another that deputation had waited
on him with request for a further ex-
tension Of time until fall to emigrate
which was refused.
A letter from Fort Dade, received in
this city last evening, says thatit was
reported there that all the Indians at
Tampa had absconded,. except about
100 or 100 men, women and children,
who were enrolled for emigration.
OcEo1A, with his band, it is presumed had
not arrived when the express left Tampa ;
but CoAHAJo, who is said to be the principal
chief on the st. Johns river, with whom he
was, made, the most positive assurances at
Fort Mellon that he would be at Tampa by
the 25th instant with their bands, ready to EN-
igeate.-St, Augustine Herald, May 25.
