him by certain gentlemen of N. Carolina 60" Do
you believe that Congress possesses the power
to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia -

WASHINGTON BIRTH DAY IN PHILADELPHIA
Yesterday being the 10th anniversary Of the
birth of the immortal Washington, it was cele.
brated in this city and vicinity in manner tina
has not been surpassed, if equalled for long Sc
ries of years, excepting only the centennial cele-
bration. The weather was as mild and pleasant
as May day. All the principal streets pre-
scented the appearance of holiday-the side
walks were crowded with pedestrians, and the
carriageway thronged with vehicles; also COM
panies and batalions of military, looking remark
ably well, and accompanied by superb bands Of
music. Flags were streaming from the shipping
and public places. All the public Offices were
closed before noon, and many faces wore the ap-
pearance Of rejoicing.
In the morning the Wing Festival at the Mu-
steal Fund Hall, was largely attended. The
speakers were warmly greeted as they progress
ed, and the performances of the splendid band
added much to the proceedings.
The Wing Ball at the Chestnut street Theatre
closed the festivities of the day. Shortly after
nightfall, the streets and sidewalks in the vicni-
ty Of the Theatre were crowded by dense masses
of people.-PhI. Chronicle of yesterday.

LATEST FROM TEXAS.

u
BY the arrival of the steam-packet Neptune
the New Orleans Bee has received files of Texas
papers.
The following items are from the Galveston
Gazette, of the 10th inst A1t
Nothing has yet transpired as to the character
of the dispatches recently received from our Com
missioners to Mexico
The Houston Democrat says, report has
reached that place, via Bexar, that all the Mex-
can villages along the Rio Grande have been il
Illuminated on account, as is stated, of an armis-
tice for ten years having been agreed upon by the
Commissioners of the two countries. We are
not prepared to credit, without better authority,
the reports of the establishment of SO long truce
but from the various reports which reach us, all
concurrng in stating that the suspension of hostl-
tiles for some certain period has been agreed
upon, we are led to believe that something of the
kind has taken place.
1t is believed, that Congress adjourned on Mon
day last.
There is report that the bill providing for the
payment in part of the officers and men, lately
belonging to the navy, passed both houses and
was vetoed by the President. We should regret
very much to find the report true.
AT the last accounts, Congress had literally
done nothing; which is, perhaps, better than to
have undone all the work Of their predecessors,
and substituted nothing better in its place
which has some resemblance to the general
course of legislation.
General Murphy, the US. Charge d'Afaires,
who has been in this city for some months past,
left on Thursday, on board the Dayton, for Hous-
ton. We understand that his health is bad, and
he hopes to be benefited by a change of location.
He may extend his visit to Washington.
HoUsroN, Feb T.
BExAR.-The latest news received from Bexar
via Washington, is to the Gath ult. At that time
Leal and party of marauders, held full sway
in that section. There were so few Americans
iii the city, that no resistance was offered to them
and they often came openly into the streets Of
Bexar.
The trade with the Rio Grande has been COM
pletely cut off by these bandits. Only one ira
der ventured into the city during the last month,
and he was robbed Of all his property, amounting
to about $4,000. It is believed that the Mexi-
can officers on the Rio Grande connive at these
robberies.
The Texas papers are filled with rumors in
relation to annexation.
A joint committee in Congress have reported
favoraby upon the conduct of Commodore Moore
in the late controversy between that gentleman
and the President.
SEIZURE OF TEXAN CoTToN.-The Civilian
mentions that an American vessel has been seized
at the Sabine with cargo Of three hundred bales
of Texan cotton, and retained for adjudication for
an attempt to evade the revenue laws by SNUG
Cling this cotton into New Orleans as the pro-
duct of Louisiana.
