TEXAS TREATY.

The editor of the New York Evening
post says that he has received a pamphlet
copy OF the Treaty for the annexation OF
Texas, and the accompanying documents,
which he intends publishing forthwith.
He ADDS
"This is, perhaps, one Of the most ex-
.raordinary documents TO be found in the
history of legislation. Mr.. Upshur's let.
ters alternately coaxing and threatening
Texas, are curiosities in their way, while
the correspondence generally is Of the
most interesting nature. After reading
this paper, the people Of the United States
will not hesitate in making up their minds
in respect to the inIamy Of the project.
Nor will the Senate require the SIX months.
to which by the Treaty they are limited"
The New York Republic, referring to.
the announcement Of the Post, says
ave learn, from friend who has been,
favored with glance al these interesting
papers, that among them is a correspon-
dence between Mr.. Upshur, the late la.
mented Secretary Of State, and the Texan
Minister, in which the former more than

The second explosion was eminently

the firing of the gun, as the preconcerttd
signal he blew up the wreck "sky high. "
The signal gun and the explosion were
simultaneous, or nearly so. Three other
explosions were made by Mr.. Colt, to
show the power of his apparatus, and for
the qualification Of numerous obse rvers.
The multitude seemed highly to enjoy
the exhibition, which was at once curious,
wonderful and grand. There were no
