WHO KILLED COCK-ROBINl

Rdy-dighy Titmpsg-dBmPsy,
Here's ihc hysS schal hjiisl TccHmseh.
The long disputed fact as to who killed
Tecumseh. has just been brought to light,
in the present political canvass in Kentuc-
ky. Major LEWIS FIGG, of Nelson county,
I. lhatState, proves to be the bona fde slay-
cr, as the following correspondence plainly
shows. Major Figg, in his address to the
rpcmen of old Nelson, published in the
Rardsio,On Seaiinsl. of June 28, observes:
IL will not detail the privations and hard
-hips endured on that occasion; Lut will
only alude to a few Of the scenes that are
now most fresh in my recollection. The
first engagement, of any importance was
in, was the battle Of the Thames, in which
that willy and subtle foe, Tecuuseh, was
slain, as many suppose by Colonel Johnson
but will easily convince you that this
credit belongs exclusively to myself. Col
onel Johnson and myself were messnates
in this campaign, and we were both severe
ly and dangerously wounded in the above
hattIe-we were both nursed in the same
tent, and attended by the same surgeons;
soon after the battle, and after we were Both
convalescent, the Colonel and myself were
lying talking over the events of the battle.
and the death of Tecumseh. The Colonel
knowing it was that lad killed Tecum-
sch, remarked to MEAS | never expected

would he Of essential service to him IN his
intended Political canvassing. Ireped to
him th.t would do go, hut should lever
hec,,me candidate, and It was necessary
,or nv success, that the truth must be told.
This the Colonel readily asscnted 10. In
view Of this understanding, MS soon ns
determined to become acandidate, address
sed the following note to Colonel Johnson:

words-by submitting to the forms of monarchcal

THE ANNIVERSARY.

The Fourth Of July was celebrated with much
enjoyment in Norfolk and Portsmouth, by differ
ent Orders, Societies, and Companies At sun
rise, II o'clo;k, and shutdown, the public vessels
in harbur, fred salu,es in honor of the day. The
Norfolk Juniors celebrated the day, by parade.
and listening to an address, from the Rev. Mr
Wadsworh, of the NJ e. Church, which we
have heard spoken of in high terms of praise
The Portsmouth Guards, under the command of
Major Gwynn also paraded, and after acting as
part of the escort to the Temperance Procession
partook of adnher, compagnie. That beau

appearance under their newly elected gallant Cap

sion, which we attended, was a very handsome
affair, only we did not see but pe or sir persons
of the FOURTEEN or FIFTEEN hundred who be-
long to the Society under whose auspices the Gel.
ehraton was got up. If il had been left TO thai

such apathy. As it was. the Military, with the
Cadets of our Military Academy, the Sons Of
Temperance, the Rechabites and the children OF

the principal streets of Portsmouth,, entered the
large and airy Baptist Church, where after Prayer
by the Rev. Thomas Hume, the Declaration OF
independence was read by Mr.. John f. G.. Potts
in clear and distinct tone, which he preceded
by few appropriate remarks. After the reading
of the Declaration, Major S. Wheeler, rose and
for upwards of an hour, held unclaimed large
and crowded auditory, by a most chaste, power
full and mastery address, which was received
with deep and fixed attention. We cannot ever
make abstract of its principal points, for it was

IMPORTANT AND GLORIOUS NEWS.

On the eve Of the great day which is conse
Grated TO the independence of our country. we
hail the re uion of Texas with the United
States. We will now tread the road of freedom
and greatness together. This news came to ne
by the Princeton steamer, which arrived at An
napos oday at 2 O'Clock. DIR. Wright BRINGS
the dispatches from Annapolis He left Wash
ington, Texas, on the Dist June, and arrived at
Galveston on the 23d-on that day the Princeton
left that place We are favored by the Doctor
with the following memoranda:
" The United States ship Princeton, Commo
dore Stockton, arrived at Annapolis from Calves
ton, Texas, after the short passage of nine davs
having consumed only SO tons of coal. She
steamed against head winds, with the excep,ion
of only SO hours, when she was assisted by her
sails No Atlantic steamer has ever made so
good an hourly average, with the same economy
of fuel and, considering all the circumstances il
may be regarded as an unprecedented passage.
''The news brought by the Princeton is of the
most interesting character. Both houses of the
TeXian Congress have unanimously consented 10
the terms of the joint resolution of the United
States. The Senate had rejected the treaty with
Mexico by unanimous vote Capt WaGcaman
had arrived at Washington, Texas, TO select posts
to be occupied by the United States troops. and
to provide for their subsistence. resolution
was introduced into both houses Of Congress-. re-
curing the Executive to surrender all posts. navy
yards, barracks, &c, TO the proper authorities of
the United States. The Joint resolutions were
introduced into both houses Of Congress on the
same day, and were almost identical in their tenor
The resolutions passed the Senate on the 18th of
June, and were sent to the House the Honse
laid them on the table and passed their own
resolutions unanimously, and sent them to the
Senate on the next day. In the mean time. CON
siderable jealousy arose as TO which branch sbonId
claim the honor Of the paternity Of the resolutions;
and it was finally settled that the House sbould
take up the resolutions Of the Senate, and amend
them in their third section. The House then
passed them in their present form, and sent them
back to the Senate, which body concurred in the
amendment. The President is pledged TO give
foil and immediate effect to the will of CONGRESS
so far as depends upon himself''
This important intelligence has lust reached
the President Of the United States, (this evening
halfpast 81 DR.. Wright brings copious des
patches from our able charge, Major Doneson :;
but they are written prior 10 the adoption Of the
resolutions Of the Congress Of Texas He also
