AGREEABLE INTELLIGENCE.

Ex-Governor Yell OF Arkansas passed through
this CITY on Monday directly from Texas. He
reports that every newspaper in Texas IS now
friendly 10 annexation-and that there Is no
doubt of The acceptance OF The terms OF admis-
sion into our Union, specified in the Joint reso-
luton. The "Union" Of Monday night repeats
the same conviction. Our readers, we know,
will thank us loi extracting from The Union, the
following pleasant details furnished BY The cor
respondence Of that paper. This vital question,
which has occupied SO large space Of public
attention, which has 50 potenlly welded The des,
TIMES Of our great Republic, is now about 10
attain glorious consunmalion, and the people
of the United States will watch with interest
every thing connected with neighbor, soon 10
become our fair sister
"a private letter is received from a high
quarter al Galveston, May 9th, which uses the
following language There is now no division
upon this question: In my future communica-
lions may confne myself more 10 statement
Of facts in relation 10 The physical and other re-
sources and advantages Of this country, under
belief that when | tell you that Texas will ac
cept The terms and hat promptly, and that she
w G,
knocking al The doors OF Congress, two Senators
and Two Representatives with good Constitution
in their hands, have told you all on this subject
which you desire 10 hear
"Ano,her letter from New Orleans of the lllh,
states that Major Donelson and Gov Yell had ar
rived The evening before, in the New York, from
Texas 1t announces the very agreeable inlelli-
gence that General Houston had assured Major
Donelson, by letter, that he shall nerpose no OBJ
slacle 10 the union, nor does he believe that airy
impeachment 10 The effectualion Of the measure
will arise 'on the part of the government or peo-
pie of Texas He compliments Major Donelson
in the most frank and friendly terms on The sue
cess OF his mission, and says TO him. that there is
no gentleman in the United States, under whose
auspices, or by The force OF whose talents, he
would rather see the measure successfully accom-
plshed than the American Charges. With this
brilliant prospect olsuccess and under sense of
the most delicate feelings with regard TO General
Houston and President Jones, Major Donelson
had thought it his duty to retire for the time from
The scene Of action. His conduct will be duly APP
preciaIed by every man OF sensiblity.
"Anober letter from Galveston, ofthc same date,
enters into a variety Of particulars, all OF them
interesting, but over which, under present and
probable circumstances, il is best TO throw veil.
Whatever may have been the views of Captain
Elliott or Mr. Sagny, or The plans OF Mr.. Ash
bel Smith when he left Texas or even our own
country, they are now all disspaed BY the voice
OF the people, and BY the action of the Govern
ment and the concurrence OF General Housion.-
The public sentiment had been aroused by some
suspicious as 10 the course OF the President; and
the writer is convinced that had not the President
ordered convocalion Of Congress, revolution
and violence might have usurped the place OF The
sober determined purpose which he is pleased
10 see now manifest on The part OF The people 10
await The meeting OF Congress on the 10th OF June,
when they will have their 1riN in favor OF annex
alton expressed By that body and the mode and
manner of calling Convention 10 rslfy the
same and 10 form Constitution, prescribed. The
subject Of the terms OF annexation, or OF The re-
sult of The measure when Congress meets, no
longer constitute The topics OF conversation
among the people. They speak of it as subject
settled. The all-engrossing topic among them is
the provisions OF their Constitution 10 be accept
ed.' Upon this subject, The writer expresses
himself 'graifcd TO listen 10 the views and OPT
Mons OF many intelligent men. The deep IN
terest they feel in The result of such consll'
tuition, which shall secure TO Texas and her
citizens The blessings Of good Government
and social order gives high hopes Of their future
destiny. I undertake 10 predict, that you yourself
will be surprised, when you shall see their consti.

so much has been idly said The writer says,
that he finds The terms of the resolutions, as they
passed the House Of Representatives, TO be entire
" acceptable 10 the people, and he has no hest
aion in saying, that they will be agreed 10 by
Congress, and by the convention Of Texas, with
ont any amendment, addition or alteration. The
language Of every intelligent man with whom he
had conversed-of every public meeting, (and
they have been held in every county in the Re-
public,) is that these terms are good enough !;
and il they are not, or il objections should after
wards be discovered, We will trust 10 The justice
and lberalily OF The States 10 remedy any defects
