LATEST FROM TEXAS.

The following Extra from the New Or

highly interesting news from Texas:
SATURDAY, 2 O'Clock, P. NJ, Aug. 2.
The steamship Alabama, Capt. Windle,
arrived at this port yesterday morning
from Galveston. By her we have receiv.
ed few Texas papers of the latest dates.
Major DonelsoD, who was expected TO
arrive here by the Alabama. had proceed
ed to Arances, the place at which the Uni
led States troops are at present chartered.
The steamer Undine had arrived at the
point of debarcation, ST. Joseph's island
and landed the troops, stores, &C., brougt
by the Alabama. The ships Queen Vic
toria and Suviah had not arrived when The
Alabama left.
A rumor was brought by the passengers
of the Alabama, that Gen. Taylor had re-
ceived information of the building of a
fort near Matamoras, on the American
side Of the Rio Grande. by the Mexicans.
aud that he determined to enforce its A.
abandonment, and their removal within
their own territory.
The steamer Monmouth was run ashore
at the Calcasien, it having been mistaken
by the pilot for the Sabine. She was pot
off with difficulty, but not without havInO
sustained material injury. By last accounts
she was leaking badly; but, notwithstand-
ing she was TO leave The day after the AL.
ALBANIA sailed for Arances, with Mai. Don.

DR.. GwIN.-The Free Trader is out in a
long editorial in favor OF this gentleman
for y. s. Senator. We may undertake al,
examination of his pretensions and claims
hereafter. We suppose the pledge at the
conclusion of the Free Traders editorial is
given with the knowledge and consem Of
DIR. Gwin. Il is in these words
He will during the summer visit vari-
GUS portions of the State, and talk with the
people on matters pertaining to his and
theH interests, and in conjunction with his
competitors, submit his name to caucus
OF the democratic members of the legisa-
ture IN January next, when if he is not
the choice Of majority Of The representa-
fiUes Of The people, no man will more will
hngly yield to, and support him who is.
than William M. Gwin.'
The sentence we have italicised is rather
dubious, but he surely does not mean to
say that the DR.. would accept the station at
the hands of the wings, after his rejection
by democratic csucus,-for the wing
members are as much g representatives OF
the people, as the democratic members.
Does the Free Trader mean to say that DIR.
Gwin will not accept the station Of U. S.
Senator except in accordance with the
wishes of majority of the democratic
members of the Legislature a-or are We 10
understand this pledge as contemplate

o. We hope JACOB THOMPSON will re-
'spond to the call of " Publiusv in the last
Missssippian. If considerations OF duty
to his constituents could be disregmded,
his own political reputation requires that
he should expose before the people the
fhwarted plans and schemes of the !" In
dian men''-ther aiders and abetters. We
considered it our duty, in our humble
sphere, % speak in terms of disapproval Of
the conduct of Mr.. Thompson, pending
the nominations by the late convention,
He has now opportunity TO establish that
we accused him unjustly.

TExAs.-The Mckim arrived last Sun
day from Galveston, bringing papers TO
the 23d. From them we learn that an
early adjournment of the Convention is
anticipated, as the different Committees
are on the point of reporting.
All the members of the Convention, we
understand, are now at Austin. The diff
ferent Committees are all busily at work
Some reports had been made at the last
accounts, and it is probable that by this
time the whole plan of State COnstitu-
ton is before the Convention. From the
assiduity displayed by the members, and
The harmony in which the business Is CON
Quoted, it is thought tina; the work will be
completed before the middle of August.
We gleen the following from the Gal
reSton CiriIiGR;
Mai. A. J. Donelson, RE u. S. Minis.
ter, arrived here on Sunday morning, from
Austin, IN good health. Mai. ID. has
taken formal leave oil the Government,
having. we presume, accomplished the OBJ
Iect of his mission as far as it is concern
ed. We understand that he will remain
in the country until after the arrival of the
United States troops.
The health of Galveston continues re-
markably good. In fact, We literally hear
of no sickness. The city is in cieanly
condition, and no apprehension of disease
exists. The weather has been unusually
dry of late, and rain begins to be needed.
LUMBER The Telegraph of the 24th
ult., saws: "The numerous mills In the
lower portions of Texas are far from be-
ing sufficient to supply the increased de-
mand for building materials which has
sprung up within the last three or four
months, and lumber is now being imported
from Pensacola in considerable quantities.

rived at Galveston with cargo last week,
