By the arrival Of the brig Hope Howes,
Capt. B. G. Shaw, from Galveston, yester-
day. we are apprIsed of the glorious and ord
tifying fact that the question of Annexation
has been finally consummated. Thus, by the
honest and unwavering conduct of free peo-
pie. have the Vaccinations Of traitors at home
and enemies abroad been foiled and frustrated.
Honor to the republicans Of Texas for the part
they have taken in the achievement OF the pnr-
pose!
We give our worthy correspondent letter.
which embraces clear and succlnct narration
of the proceedings of the Convention up to
the latest period at which it were possible 10

.q,.s'in, Jnly 7, 1915.
The Convention assembled on the morning
of the 4th. ana unanimously elected Gen. Rusk
to preside over its deliberations. On taking
the chair he made short address, which was
well delivered and suitable to the occ sion.-
A committee of fifteen was sooE after appoint
ed. who reported by their chairman, Judge
Lipsconb, an ordinance asserting. ON behalf
of she people Of Texas, TO :he terms nt AM
nexation proposed by the United States Co
veInment. 1t was adopted with one dissent
ing voice-bnt five members absent. 1t Was
engrossed and signed by all the members pre-
sent. II is not little singular thai the only
dissenting voice was Richard Bache, the ta-
ther-in-law Of your Secretary of the Treasury
and brother-in-aw of the Vice President.
After the necessary resolutions were passed
for The transmission Of the ordinance to the
United States, resolution was offered by
Col. Love, and unanimously adopted-"ltIat
the members wear Grape on their lett arm Tor
one month, as testimony of regret for The de-
cease of Gen. Jackson" Whatever ditferen-
ces of opinion n1aY-exist, as regards his po'lt-
cal acts, eIsew hi re, Texas owes him debt OF
gratitude. To him We are indebted tor the
privilege Of becoming member OF the Great
American Union-a measure so Important to
us, and hope to you. The Convention then
adjourned. 1t was novel celebration OF the
Liberty Day-to surrender the independence
Of our nation, and by the act of the whole
people, assent to its incorporation with ano-
Their, and offer tribute Of respect TO the man
.hrongh whose influence the measure Was con-
summarized.
On the 9Th we appointed commi ttees onthe
plan adopted by the Virginia Convention, to
report on the various subjects submitted. 1t
called forth some discussion which was credi-
table to the speakers-it Was the skIrmIsh
that precedes more heavy firing.
The delegates to the Convention. for intel
ligence, integrity and worth, would rank high
in any country. There is not, perhaps. much
of briIiiancy, but great deal OF matter ot-fAct
sense and sound knowledge; and l predict
that We shall form and send you sound and
sensible Constitution, free from the worst fea-
lures Of ultruism.
The terms of annex ton are not perhaps
such as we had right to ask; but SO anxious
are we to fee the subject from further agiti.

whatever will be annexed to the g. nstltutlnn
differing from the resolutions passed by tie

A despatch was received from the. United
States IN the morning, and Major None ison

The lgae of those in power here, which
IN its Aeement was advised by the ex.
Presldsht, hss been dissipated ny the pow er
of the people. The Executive occupies no
envIed position 81 am inclined TO think he
has heeRXielimized by his friend and patron,
as we'll as her Majesty's Minister. True to
his faith, however. he issued his Procama-
ton, admitting state CT war and disputed
territory, which if not intended as treason to
the country, or proceeding from disappointed
hopes. was excessively foolish.
Lord Aberdeen has avowed to DR.. AshbeI
Smith that Her Majes,y's Government will
not Interfere in the question, SO he writes
home. This removes one of The prospects of
war; so if you get to loggerheads with John
Bull, it must be abou, Oregon. Jonathan
will fight for whales and lumber, but seems TO
have little fancy for it if sugar, cotton or ne
groes have anything to do with the matter.
This once flourishng village is in a state of
entire dilapida'on and ruin-the effects of an
arbitrary exercise of power, without cause am
without precedent; and although the author
of all this ruin is elected delegate, he will
not take his seat; he cannot-he dare not look
upon hundreds which he has in his wanton-
ness ruined /!
