The schooner Lone Star, Knapps, arrived ycster-
day, having left Galveston on the 18th. We take
the following items from the Civilian:
The government Offices, officers, &C., are to leave
Washington on the 18th instant, for Austin.
Hon. T. Pilsbury is a candidate for the Office Of
governor of Texas. e.
The Washington Register, by authority, requests
chief justices of counties TO make their returns of
the vote for and against annexation, and the con-
stitution, to the Department of State at Austin.
The President has designated General A. H.
Darnell as special messenger, to carry the State
constitution to Washington city.
The Presbytery of Texas is TO meet Al Nacog-
doches, on the 9Th November.
Hon. ]. A. Navarro has been elected to the Senate
Of the republic Of Texas from the district Of Bexar;
v. E. Howard and D. G. Van Derlip, representa-
tives.
John P. Shelbourn has been elected to the House
of Representatives from Austin county.
The Washington Register says: IA company of
United States troops will shortly be stationed at
Austin. The proper officers have alread arrived
there. The troops will occupy the arsenal build
There have been several arrivals at Galveston,
from Corpus Christi. About 1000 men in camp
all in good health. Mexican traders continued to
come in. They state that there are but few Mex
lean troops upon the Rio Grandc, and Indications
Of desire TO march for Texas.
There are some fourteen new houses going up IN
Corpus Christi, and others would be commenced
il lumber was to be had. II is in much demand.
Geo. M. Downs was elected to Congress.

Il does not appear that General Taylor designs
removing the main body Of the army from Corpus

other points on the frontier.
The vote on the constitution was 10 be taken on

GALvEsroN, Oct. IL, ls45.


To the editor Of the Union:
send you a copy Of the "Civian," containing
the speech OF General G. w. Terrell, our late min
lister TO England and France, delivered at dinner
given him by his personal and political friends at
Galveston, on the - ultimo. slsGa ass5
Hon. Ashbel Smith arrived here some two weeks
ago, and proceeded Immediately to the seat Of gov
| eminent. He has made several publications in the
newspapers to show he In now, and always has
been, friendly to the annexation Of Texas 70 tho
United States.
The National Register Of October says: ave
understand that General Taylor has interdicted tho
Mexican trade with Corpus Christi" but there
must be some mistake about this matter, % there
left there within the last week, without having
heard Of any such regulation. A
| send you copy Of our new constitution in
Spanish From what l have been able TO learn,
there will be great unanimity among our citizens
on the adoption of the constitution, and upon
ceptng annexation under the resolutions Of the
United States Congress. But there will be great
division upon the ordinance passed by the convcn-
ton in relation TO the colonization contracts.
We labor under great disadvantages from tho
want of regular mail between Texas and the Uni
ted States, having been dependent during most Of
the summer upon small schooners for Transports
But we anticipate better arrangements this winter.
A regular line Of mail packets would reduce the
passage from Galveston to New Orleans, from Sos
to 80
The crops throughout the country, an average,
are very good-especally the corn crop, which is
very abundant. Corn can be purchased for from
IS to 80 cents per bushel and it will therefore be
most proplious season for those who intend to en-
igrate TO Texas.

This article, says the Courisv, makes France tn
guarantor orerer (pour jamais) Of the independents
of Uruguay.
To this we reply in the first place, the article doe
not constitute France guaranor at ALL and still les
a guarantor Jorspsr, of the independence Of Uru
quay In its terms, there is nothing like guaranty
On the contrary il is understanding plainly tenn
porary in its character.
We reply, in the second place, that tn
French government either did not regard tsel
as clothed, by the article, with the rights AM
obligations Of guarantor, or else did mos
shamefully betray and neglect its obligations al
such, I'LL urged on in the matter by the English cab
met. We have no doubt which of these alternatives
is the truth, because we no warrant for French
interference in the terms of the article.
We reply, in the third place, that the article man
ifestly did not contemplate French interference be
tween contending parties in Uruguay, though one o.
those parties claiming to be the rightful government
should place itself under the protection of neigh
Dor state.
We reply, in the fourth place, that the mainte.
nance, by force Of arms of the sway of foreigners in
the government of Uruguay is not only wholly with
out warrant in the terms of the article, but is in fla
grant violation Of its plain meaning,
We say, in the fifth place, that the present wal
between the Argentine republic and Uruguay is de-
eiared by Uruguay and therefore the article, merely
STIMULATING continuance Of the Independence OF
that state, gives warrant for the Intervention OF
French force to fight out quarrel which Uruguay
has brought upon herself and which she has herself
begun.
And we say, in the last pace-and this is the
main point now before us--this article of treaty
concluded with France does not pretend to cover
English interference at all. England has, Of right
nothing at all to do with any rights or obligations
which the article may create.
We repeat, then, in conclusion, that this interfe-
renee of England by the sword, in the government,
and policy ftwo independent but weak republics on
this continentone of them, at least with vast un-
TILED fertile lands appcraining to it's an event
fitted to rouse at once all the sensibili,cs and al
the apprehensions of the United States. 1t is ar
event highly Objectionable to us, in this instance
as any such event not attacking directly our owr
peculiar national rights be. 1t is high-handed
Observation-Disclosures in its effects--wholly op
posed to our interests-in clear violation of oul
ancient and well-known polcy-dangerous to the
peace Of the nations Of this contnent--and the be-
ginning of a course Of policy, which, when it shall
become system, we must confront and encounter
We can permit it only at the sacrifice of oul
just national pride, and at the peril of oul
high national position. The principle of such
British interference on this continent must be
vicwed-with deep solicitude by our government
We know, every man knows, that its contnu
must excite far and wide the strong indignation
Of our people.

are all in good health and high spirits anxious for
active service but almost despairng OF having any.

He came to the country in state very bad health.
George N. Downes, esq, has been elected from
San Palrcio TO the 10th Congress- 3
Captain Fulton, Of the Cd dragoons has resigned,
and obtained permission to retire from the service
Baranca Blanca, on the Nneces, was lately occu-
pied by $50 or l6O Cumanches. They were discov-
cred by Lieut.. Dobbins, while recommending the
country. Adetachment was sent in pursuit, but re-
turned without making any discovery. They are
supposed TO be the party who went on the late foray
to the Rio Grande, from whence they were return
ing.
The Mexican traders are numerous; bu, their pur-
chases are not large. They report bu, few troops
stationed at different points the Rio Grande. The
whole number on that river is supposed not TO ex-

The United States steamer Colonel Harvey,
Lieutenant Whitile commanding, from Norfolk Sd
instant, via Charleston, St. Augustine, Key West,
Tampa Bay, and Mobile, put in our port ycster-
day in distress; and now lies at Slaughterhouse
point. 1891
The Colonel Harvey was bound to Arkansas bay,
with dispatches for General Taylor. When OF the
Balize on the 18th instant, she was discovered to
be leaking so badly, that it was found necessary
to alter her destination, and put into this port for
repairs
Itis fortunate that, in an emergency Of this kind,
individual enterprise has done moro for the benefit
Of our navy than our federal government at WASH
ington has, in constructing dry dock capable of
containing vessels of her class, Otherwise this gal
liant craft might perhaps, have to .le up and rot"
in the case Of the frgate Potomac, now lying in
