weston, bringing with the official intelligence OF
the exation Of Tcxus to the United States. The
resolutions declaring the acceptance by Texas of the
treaty proposed by our government, passed the
Texian Congress on joint vote, UNANIMOUSLY; and
President Jones had pledged himself to sign them.
So, that affair is settled.
This ship has had fine run from Galveston,
averaging 900 miles per day, against strong head
wind for the first five days. and at no time carrying
over IL lbs. steam, which was frequently reduced
to 6 lbs.
We left Galveston on Monday evening, the Odd
June amid the rejoicings of the people and the
of cannon, and had the satisfaction Of seeing the
stars and stripes (hoisted the receipt Of the
Of annexation) proudly floating over the city, and
from the shipping in the harbor.
The sloop-of-war Saratoga and brig Porpoise
sailed in company with the Princeton--the former
for Pensacola and the latter for Philadelphia. The
St. Mary's was to remain till the 26th, and proceed
to Pensacola. The revenue-cutter Woodbury. re-
mains to convey our charge daffaires, Major Done-
son, to New Orleans. The health Of the crews of
the squadron was good, and we have only six upon
the sick list of this ship.

Cruz about week previous to our leaving

"The garrison of Tabasco has declared in favor
of the federal government and called for the author
tiles that figured in 1884, with the exception of San

GEN. JOHN B. DAwsoN.--This distinguished and
good man died on the 26th inst, after lingering
Illness He has literally worn out his life in the
service of his country. Brave generous, ever mind
full of favors, forgetful Of injuries, devoted to his
friends, incapable Of meanness he has lived for
Others and for his country, without ever consider
ing for a moment his own personal interests. IL
was, in the best days of Athens, considered the
highest eulogy on public servant, to say that he
died poor. John B. Dawson has several times ADAM
doned places of profit and pursuits certain to ensure
wealth, at the call of his country and ne has died
poor in this worlds goods, but rich IN public honors
ties of the heart which make men estimable IN this
world. and fit them for rest in heaven. Louisiana
never gave birth to more devoted son; she never
loved one better; she viii never mourn one with
more heartfelt anguish and sincerity.

AN OLD SCHOOL DEMOCRAT.
ON THE DEATH OF GENERAL JACKSON.

ON THE DEATH OF GENERAL JACKSON.
Our hero's gone, with his martial might
That erst, when the foe was nigh,
Found him all girded for the fight,
The invaderto defy.
Our hero's gone! and no warllke sound
Deafens tn affrighted ear;
Nor CHASTITY corse, nor bleeding wound,
Forces the starting tear.
IT'S a NArIoN's GRATITUDE bespeaks
The heaving bosom's throe--
NATIONS LOSS bedews the cheeks
OF PEOPLE clad in wo.
Years have flown in rapid tide
Since the lannon's thunder roar'd--
When Europes scourge and England's pride
Shrunk from the hero's sword.
He's gone! whilst the fair the brave the wise
Mourn for their loss! and prove
That the SHOWS OF thirty winter skies
Child not his country's love.
