LATER FROM TEXAS.

LATER FROM TEXAS.
The New Orleans Picayune Of the llth
announces the arrival of the steamship
New York, Capt. Wright, from Galveston,
whence she sailed on the Sth inst. She
brings papers from Galveston to the 7th.
Among her passengers were Maj. Donel-
son, the U. s. Charge, and Gov. Yell, of
Arkansas.
Gen. Houston, with his wife and son, ar
rived at Galveston on the 3rd inst, from
his farm on the Trinity. He proposed to
visit the seat of Government of Texas, and
will then come at once to the United States.

Jackson once again before the death of
the latter, which appears so imminent. He
yields TO annexation as matter Of neces-
sity, if not of choice.
Mr.. Wickliffe, the ex-Postmaster Gener-
al was at Galveston on the 7th inst.
Commodore Moore has involved himself
in controversy with Gen. Houston, and
publishes an address to the people of Tex
as, in which he exposes his grounds of dis.
satisfaction with the ex-President. He en-
closed copy of his address 10 the express
ident, threatening to follow it up with
other exposures, until he can receive
personal satisfaction for the injuries which

There is no limit to the enthusiasm of
the people of Texas in regard to Annexa-

most positive evidence that the President
and majority of the Cabinet are anxious
TO act with the utmost harmony with the
people, and will cordially cooperate with
them in their efforts to consummate the
great measure at the earliest practicable
period"
The Hon. E. Allen, the acting Secretary
Of State, arrived at Houston on the 22d
ult. The Telegraph assures us that he is
an ardent friend of annexation, and is de.
slrous that "the great measure should be
consummated at the earliest practicable
period"
The papers contain ample reports OF
public meetings declarative Of the feelings
Of the people in regard to annexation
There is no occasion to give these re.
ports, SO nearly unanimous are the senti.
ments of the whole country. The Texans
already regard themselves as part and par.
eel of the United States, and proud of the
Union, are only impatient that any delay:

Even the papers opposed to annexation bu
insinuate their objections; they see that il
must take place, and refrain from any oper
resistance to it. If we can Judge from the
tone of the press, and from verbal commu
nicatons, not all the diplomatic resources Of
the world can sway at all the general mind
of Texas.
The papers have some rumors of the dis
