FROM TEXAS.

ny the steamship Neptune we have received
Galveston papers to the 9th instant, which con-
tain bat little news of interest.
The journals are filled almost exclusively with
the subject of annexation. The Houston Tele-
graph, ia long article on the subject, mentions
the names of several United States Senator'S
who will oppose the treaty, but we conceive it
merely matter of surmise, and having no foun-
dation, but simple rumor.
The Telegraph states that there was a white
frost in the neighborhood of Houston on the 3O,h
ut, which injured many of the tender vegetables,
and that fears were entertained that it had seri
ously injured the cotton crops in The interior
counties. The paper further adds that if the
cotton then planted should be destroyed, it will
be difficult, if not impossible, for the planters to
obtain seed for replanting, as most of the seed
raised last year was destroyed.
We have searched the papers in vain for other
news They are full of local items, which are
OF ne interest to our rcaders.-M O. Bee, Apr. /,

THE OREGON.

TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT IN OREGON
Letters have been received from the Oregon ter
ritory as late as the Goth of October. One of
them, dated Willamette Falls, on the river of
hat name, which is branch of the Columbia
river, states that within six months two -four and
two saw mills had been erected and between
thirty and forty houses, two and three stories
high The population of the country, exclusive
vi the party of 700 persons then going to the
country, is stated to have increased at least
third during the previous year. Thirty thousand
bushels of wheat were raised during the season.
There was no sickness. Employment was plenty,
at from 81 to 2 SO per day for mechanics. The
settlement: had been threatened with an Indian
war;" by combination of three of the most pow
erful tribes west of the Rocky Mountains, and al
though, when united and acting in concert they
are said to be able to destroy all the Indians in
the territory, still, without union they may be
cut off in detail The letter continues:
We have also had trouble about land claims,
and have the prospect, of course, of much more
as the country becomes more thckly settled I'm
der these circums iances we have been obliged to
form government of our own, and have accord
ingly adopted the constitution and laws of the
territory of Iowa, with various alterations and adj
ditions-have chosen an Executive Committee of
three, viz A. Beers, D. Hill, and j. Gale Su-
preme Judge, Russell; Secretary of the Terri
tory, G. w. LeBreton Justices Of the Peace, a
High Sheriff, Legislative Committee, &c. We
have also local and general Temperance So
ciety, of which the Rev. Jason Lee is President,
and have the honor of being Secretary. am
also Recorder and Clerk of the Court: and these
offices, with my other avocations, will keep me
