RotNDAKY.-The editor Of the Telegraph thus
lngclly discusses the duly Of uur government with
reference 10 the boundary question
BY referring 10 the joint resolution for nexation
pas.el by tie American Congress, il will be seen
thar the territory Of The Republic of Texas is annex
Ell 10 the American Union. The term ''republie" Of

CoTToS CRoP-The severe drought that prevail
ed during nearly the whole Of the months of July and
August, tIroushnul the western and middle counties
Of Texas, has materially injured The cotton crop.-

graph, that the crop win fail short nearly one.,alf
On the Br'zos above San Felipe the planters win
scarcely make more than two thirds Of an average
crop; and the Trinity. the crop is M light as that
on the Colorado. In the Eastern counties, the crop
is said to bo better than il is in any of the counties
west Of the Trinity. IL Is probable that the whole
crop Of Texas will scarcely exceed 40 600 iaee.-
