Houston for the twelve months proceeding
the alst Of August last. The Telegraph

The Galveston CIVILIAN ridicules the
Speculative demand" which sprung up
in this market a fortnight since for Texas
money. The Civilian coolly remarks:
Texas has at present no mode Of pay
ing either principal or interest Of this spe.
cIes OF paper credit. II is not even recci.
vable for public lands. II the u. s. Gov.
eminent hereafter chooses 10 redeem this
paper at par, aud take our lands, Texas
wall probably offer no objertion but if
Texas is 10 make payment, sho will posi-.
bly, have some regard Tor the law of equiv
alents, and may refuse or be unable 10
pay ten or fifteen millions Of dollars in spe-
Gle, for that which neither realized 10 her
nor cost the holders one.third OF that sum 7
The Civilian adds, that the prospect Of
redemption ofTexas money at par is ..nei-
the. immediate nor clear,

The same paper INDUCES in some refiec-
tons upon the Camahches, and the late eff.
forts OF the Texan Government 10 conclude
treaty with them at Torry's trading
house. THIS was the fifth attempt OF the
Government, and the indians appeared as
tlmd and suspicious as ever. They. how
ever, pledged themselves to MAINTAIN a
