BY LAST NIGHTS MAIL.
FROM TEXAS.
[From the New Orleans Bee, january %. |

From the New Orleans Bee, January 22.]
h By the arrival of the steam packet New York,
Captain Wright, we have received our files of
Texas papers to the 18th January, inclusive.
The subject of annexation excites warm inter-
est in Texas. The Civilian devotes very elab-
crate and able article to the subject, exhibiting
its advantages TO both countries, and combating
the arguments which have been urged against
the project.
The towns on the Guadalupe, and especially
Gonzales, are rapidly improving. The Cuero
settlement, few miles below Gonzales, is also
in very fourishing condition.
About 1876 emigrants arrived at Galveston,
few days since, from Germany. They are about
settling on the Colorado.
The injunction of secrecy having been remov-
ed, publication has been given to an interesting
message from President Houston communicated
TO the Senate on the 22d December. 1t paints
in deplorable colors the situation of the Texan
Navy, traces its history for the past year, con-
tends that it has proved inefficient, and cannot
be supported in the present crippled condition Of
the finances Of the Government, and finally re-
commends the dismantling of the Navy and sale
of the vessels composing it. This message was
followed by bill to authorize the sale of the
ship Austin, the briggs Wharton and Archer, and
the schooner San Bernard.
An important bill was before Congress at the
latest accounts, entitled An act concerning the
release Of captive Texans in Mexico" 1t pro-
vdes that if certain information of the release of
the Texan captives in Mexico be not received by
the President on or before the first day of March,
the major general of militia is required to make
public call for volunteers, to repair to his stan
dard at some place designated west of the Guada-
loupe, for an offensive campaign against the towns
and settlements Of the Mexicans situated in the
valley of the Rio Grande. 1t further provides
that the army thus organized shall endeavor to
procure sufficient number of Mexican prison.
ers, of the highest rank and consideration, to be
held as hostages for the good treatment Of the
Texan captives; that the warfare shall be trans
ferred to the Mexican soil and that the Texan
troops shall be supported and paid by confsca-
ton Of property and forcing contributions.

warm encomiums upon the article. They assert that
these Glasses do not fatigue the eyes by long usc as
is apt to be the case with the double convex Spec

jects of vision is much greater This corresponds
with the opinion any optican would form from his

from different quarters to the same focal distance

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

T
Mr.. McCAUSLEN, of Ohio, continued the de-
bate upon the 21st rule. He argued that, in re-
gard to this District, the constitutional Congress
sional control over it amounted to no more than
the power to make laws. Congress had no right
to abridge the freedom Of speech or of the press,
and no right to interfere with property in this
District. 1t was said that memorials were now
framed purposely to evade the rule of the House,
and if the rule was rescinded much of the evil
complained Of would be done away. He thought
if this subject was properly appreciated by this
House, the whole difficulty might be adjusted.
Mr.. McC.made severe reflections upon the Wing
party and Wings in connexion with this subject
who were represented as DESTROYS of depressing
the poor white man, and favoring the negro. M
When Mr.. McC., finished, the floor was as
signed to s sap. ws
Mr. GIDDINGS, whose right to it, however,
was warmly contested by gentleman from New
York, who claimed to have first addressed the
Speaker, and was sustained by several OF his
friends around him, and also by
Mr.. DROMGOOLE, who at first appealed
from the decision of the Speaker, but afterwards
withdrew the appeal, and
Mr.. GIDDINGS rose and expressed his graft
fcation at the manner in which this debate had
been thus far conducted. It would not be his
fault if it was not carried out in the same kind
spirit to the end for he did not intend to say any

An amendment, providing Gas we understood)
that the sum so transferred should not be taken

The yeas and nays were then called on the
passage of the bill, and it was passed by 101 to 60.
Mr.. ]. r. INGERSOLL submitted a resolu-
ton calling for some correspondence in the De-
partment of State in reference to Liberia but it
was objected to.
The House then resolved itself into Commit
tee of the Whole, Mr.. CAMPBELL, Of S. c.. in
the Chair. t3e N
A motion to take up the Oregon bill was re-
fused by 60 to 50.
The Indian appropriation bill was then, on mo-
ton of Mr.. MCKAY, taken up and read.
Mr.. GIDDlNGS proposed an amendment upon
which he made some remarks of an ant-slavery
character, to the effect that we have been paw
ing the Indians for catching runaway slaves, and
then withdrew his amendment.
