,c,,,,r COINCIDENCE

The good neople Of New Orleans received, Dy
the sloop Gutter, the news OF the annexation OF
Texas, on Thursday evening, July 3d-'he sa'''e
day that the intelligence BY the Princeton reached
Washington city. 1t came just in time 70 give
new zest 10 the celebration of the 4th AS an
evidence of the joyous feeling produced py '"e
reception OF the news, we quote from inc fica-
yune OF the 4ih July:
"This should indeed be day of jubilee for tne
citizens of Louisiana. The news ol The anne3a-
lion of Texas re- ched us last evening, as u 10
swell the triumphant shouts with whicn al wiz
hail The dawn which ushers in our independence
We regret that the news did mol reacn mere al an
earlier day, so that millions Instead ol 1nousalus
MIGHT raise their voices on SO grand an anniVe,-
sary in admiration and applause OF inc triumph
achieved over European arts ana oiplomdey
Here al least as bumpers SHALL oe quaneu " ne
Day We Celebrate" and the memory OF nose "no
have made il immortal, the health OF those whose
influence effected this grand nationai dchie'e-
ment will mol be forgotten"
There is not much information in addition 70
what we have already We Gull from the Pea
yune a few items:
"From the foregoing, il will be seen how sig
nally have failed the inlrigues and Vaccinations
Of Elliott, Jones, Saligny & Co, TO prevent me
Annexation Of Texas. Speaking of Elliott, the
Galveston News says, that the people OF Iexas
are under obligations of gratitude TO him; iUr
surely if any one man has done more than an
other 10 advance the cause OF Annexation, nc IS
The one Complimentary, very.
"The news OF The passage Of The Annexation
resolutions caused not lile excitement al Gal
weston. Statutes were fired, and ether demonslra-
lions Of rejoicing were gwen
"Jose Antonio Navarro who was so long con-
fined a prisoner in Mexico has been elected oe-
leeate to the Convention from Bexar. Volney r
Howard. formerly OF Mississippi has also ocen
elected from the same county,
1.-TWO vessels have arrived al Galveston from
Bremen having on board 1875 German emgrantS.
aMore trouble is anticipated from The Canaan
ches. Some OF them who have recently been ~
a, Torreys Trading House, did not receive as
many presents as lEev desired when The hostile
looks and mu,tered threats Of many OF The war
riors showed that they are yet by no means ds-
nosed 10 bnry The Ratchet. The United States
Dragons, we have lille doubt will SET these sa-
wages right.
aMr. Gardner, ex-sherif OF Faye,tc county,
was killed in duel Al La Grange lew days
since. !.
1.-THE accounts of the crops IN every section Oh
Texas are very flaliering.
"Al appeared TO be quiet on the frontiers
ave learn that Gen. Taylor, in command OF
the troops al Fort Jesup, has received orders from
The War Department TO The following effect: The
Sd and 4rh regiments OF Infantry are 10 move i'm
medialely 10 some point in the neishborhoM OF
this city, there 10 wait until Tie action OF the Tex
on Convention, which meets to-day al Austin, IS
known, when they will probably move by waller
10 Corpus Christi, or some other place in that
neishborhood. The 1lh regiment, it is thought,
will reach the barracks below our city to-day or
tomorrow.
"The ID Dragons, under Col. Twigss, Willie
ordered 10 proceed to the Rio Grande by land at
the same time the infantry starts by water. The
Department, We have heard it runored, recon-
mended the dragons TO march on foot, probably
deeming that there would not be sufficient forage
for their horses. The officers in command, how
ever, and very wisely and justly 10 our thinking,
have resolved not 10 dismount This valuable COM
mand, knowing that The portions OF Texas 10 be
,raversed offered the mos, ample subsistence
"Since wiring The shove, we learn by The De
Soto that The steamboats, Yazoo, Cote Joyeuse,
Rodolph and De Soto, have been chartered by The
Government 10 convey the two infantry regiments
mentioned above 10 This city. When The De Soto
left Grand Ecore, the troops were marching III pre-
paratory To the embarkalion."
