claim their attention, For, since the prop

our humble opinion, no discovery in ma

one who aspires after happiness, may by
giving full scope to the high and ennob'

himself reservoir Of happiness that will

FROM TEXAS.

News has been received from Texas 10
the 25th ult. The vessel which brought
the news left Galveston just after the news
of the passage of the annexation resolu-
tons by Congress, had reached there
II was received in the most enthusiastic
manner--shouts and guns expressed the
Joy of the citizens. The news was rece-
we'd in like manner at Houston. These are
the only two points heard from. Pubic
meetings were held and resolutions adopted
expressive of their feelings--and com.
mttee was appointed at Galveston to adj
dress the citizens of the Republic on the
subject Of annexation. There was, how.
ever, strong manifestations of opposition
to annexation, and later advices will most
probably show 10 what extent it prevails.
The Indians were troubling the frontier
settlers. Corn was selling at Houston on
the the 18th ut., at 81 per bushcl.
President Jones is said by one party to
be in favor Of annexation, and by another
to be opposed to it.
This news was brought to New Orleans
by the packet New York. Just before she
left Galveston, says the New Orleans Pic.
oyune, of the the goth ult., British man OF
war entered that port, bearing dispatches
to Capt. Elliott, British Envoy, from his
Government. 1t was said that this vessel
had vast amount of money on board and
that the dispatches contained instructions
TO Capt. Elliott, TO offer to guaranty the ma
,ional independence of Texas, provided
the annexation resolutions are rejected
1t was further reported that the French
Government had also offered the same
guaranty on the same conditions. Private
advices assure US that when these PROPOSE.
tions were made known in Galveston, the
people snapped their fingers, saying "lhe
foreigners were too late"
Capt. Elliott set out for the capitol i'm
medately after receiving his dispatches
M. SaIigny, the French Charge, was already
there.

BooNvILLE, 9TH APRIL.
Two sad accidents
occurred few days since. A young man
by the name Of VIM, Gibson, highly esteemed
by all who know him, took hunting excursion
with Gen. Crowlher on the Lamine; when puI
ling gun into the ski fl for the purpose OF shoot
ing some ducks that were flying overhead-it
went off striking him about the elbow OF the
right arm, with large load OF buckshot; he bled
great deal, and the presence OF mind OF Gen.
Crowther in bandagng the arm with cravat,
saved his life. He was brought home in skiff.
about miles, in an hour and half. His arm
was so dreadfully mangIed as to require amputa,
ton. The operation was performed in what is
called a double flap" by DR.. J. P. Holmes, OF
the Royal College of Surgeons, London. The
young man is fast recovering
Willis Burns, free negro, fell down well
belonging 10 Mr.. Masse, the distance OF about
