TEXAS.

The schooner ATALANTA arrived at New
Orleans on the nth, from Galveston, bring
ing the Weekly News of the 5th. The
News is filled with the correspondence be-
tween that government and Mexico, rela-
tive to the recognition of Texan independ.
ence. The funeral solemnitics in honor
of General JACKSON were celebrated on the
4th. The morning was ushered in by
national salute of 30 guns, and during the
day the "Stars and Stripes" were seen float
ing from several Consular Offices in the city.
At 10 o'clock, procession marched TO the
Episcopal church, where an affective dis.
course was pronounced by the Rev. Mr..
Eaton. In the afternoon, an Grafton APP
propriate TO the anniversary of American
independence. The News publishes a list
of 60 delegates to the convention which
met at Austin on the 4th. Eight of the
present members of Congress are members.
Col. Samuel B. Marshall, who died at Gal
weston, on his way to this government with
dispatches, was attended to his grave by
the Masonic Fraternity.
The following from the Houston Tele.
graph, is somewhat savage:
We did not receive copy OF the propositions
made by our Secretary Of Stale 10 the Mexican
government, until Thursday morning. We Bit
terly regret to say that they more disgraceful
and dishonoIable 10 Texas than we had antic.
pated Although they are dated at Washington
on the Brazos, still hope, for the credit Of our
government, that they were concluded at Galveston,
and that the Executive and Cabinet knew moth.
ing OF them until copy was sent by DR.. Smith
TO Washington. Better would it have been il
the hand that signed them had been paralyzed
ere the disgrace(ul act was consummated.
The following resolution was introduced
in the Texan Congress on the last day OF
the session. but it seems that the House
after various motions, adjourned without
acting upon the question:
Resolved By the House of Representatives
That the course Of the Executive in relation &c
the question OF annexation, has been unpstrotc
and unwise, attempting to thwart the people in
their we'll known WISH to re unite themselves
10 the great political family Of the United States
and throw them again upon the troubled sea Of
separate existence, to be the sport Of policy
hostile to liberty in both hemspheres; and thai
he may not be enabled 10 throw further obsta
cles in the way OF this great measure, and ul,
matey effect its defeat, we recommend to the
convention OF the people OF Texas TO establish
government ad interim, until the constitution o
the State OF Texas shall go into effect, as beins
the most certain, effectual and economical mode
OF securing our annexation to the United States

CONVENTIONAL.

Messrs. Appegate, Jackson, and De
Courcey, candidates for the convention,
addressed the citizens of this place on
Thursday last.
We published Mr. Applegate's card last
week, and our readers are familiar with his
views; and as his speech was but reca-
pitulation of his card, an extended notice
Of it would be superfuous. Mr.. A. enlar-
ged on the subject of representation, and
declared himself emphatically in favor of
basing representation on population, and
nothing else. He thought 100 members in
the House Of Representatives enough at
present--but as our population increased,
the number should be increased: and to
this end, suggested that sliding scale be
adopted. He was in favor Of large coun-
ties, so that when the territory of our State
was exhausted, there would not be more
than 1870 counties. There is sufficient ter
ri,ory in our State TO create $50 counties
if the size be made to conform 10 the pre-
sent constitutional limit
Mr.. Jackson's views have also been given
in our paper, and need not be re published.
Mr.. De Courcey was in favor of basing
representation on population, in the strict
est possible sense--in favor Of the election
of Judges by the people--in favor of abol
shing the revising scssion-in favor of sep
aration of bank and State--and if bank
ing be permitted, e, it be done on the indi-
vidual liability principle. He made
lengthy speech, and in the course of his
remarks on the subject of equalzng rep
resentation, lie took the legislature TO task,
for the creation Of new counties, when, by
so doing they evidently destroyed equality
Of representation. He took, for example,
the county Of Howard with her 1000 vo-
ters and Reynolds with $50, each entitled
to one representative, and gave several
strong illustrations Of the evils which might
arise from such state of things--and
bore heavily on those who had thus outra-
ged republican principles.
AS might have been expected (and as
doubtless was ntended) this called forth
Mr.. Jackson-he having been a member of
the legislature and voted for fifteen out of
the nineteen new counties. He came TO
the work like horse with sore shoulders
unge forward and lunge backward--a
rare up and kick upland after warming
himself by a strong draught of hattery, ad-
minstered to himself by himself for his
candor and honesty in political matters, he
acknowledged voting for the new counties,
and attempted to exculpate the legislature.
How far he succeeded with his audience,
we cannot venture to say; he was evident
ly in an i'll humor, badly bothered, with a
knotty case before him--and there we left
him.
They spoke yesterday in Moniteau town.
ship, and will speak to-day at Franklin
The people seem but very little interest.
ed The collection was small here, and We
learn but few have turned out at the ap.
pointments generally.

TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT EXPLO
SION ON THE MISSOURI.

AS the steamboat BIG HATCHEE was
leaving Herman at about l o'clock, A. NJ,
on the morning of the 23d ult., on her way
TO St. Josephs, her starboard boiler burst
with loud report, moving out gifts place
the head passing aft through the cabin floor.
and up through the hurricane deck, over
board and into the river by the wheelhouse,
making perfect wreck of the boat above
the lower deck as far back as the ladies'
cabin, and spreading death and desolation
amongst the passengers,
Thirteen persons were killed, and ten
badly and seven slightly scalded; of those
that are badly scalded three or four, it is
said, cannot survive; the number of killed
and missing is 25; there were 33 passen-
gers in the cabin; the number on deck is
not known, nor perhaps never will be cor
rectly ascertained; portion of the skull of
one man was found sticking in the wreck
of the cabin; the head and chest of another
was found day after the explosion float.
ing in the river; many had their hands,
heads and feet scalded. The work of de-
struction appears to have been most Sc
we're among the cabin passengers and
crew, as but few of those on deck were
injured.
After the accident the boat foated down
the river, about two and a half miles, be-
fore it could be made fast TO the shore. A
great part of the deck load was swept into
the river-tbe hull appears TO be in sound
condition yet.
At the time of the accident she had not
made more than one or two revolutions
with her wheels. There were but small
number of passengers in the cabin, but
they numbered between forty and fifty on
deck, and fortunately for them it was that
the engine room was filled with lumber
which prevented the steam and water from
reaching as far back and doing the mis-
chief it would otherwise have DONE Wher
the accident happened, nearly all the pas
sengers were in their berths. From thi!
fortunate circumstance many no doubt es
capped being hurried into eternity. Shortly
after the explosion the steamer Wapellc
passed down; she stopped and rendered
every assistance in her power to the suffer
ers and towed the wreck back TO Herman.

Mosr MELANCHOLY AccrpESr.--The 81. |

MosT MELANCHOLY AccIDENT.--The 81.
Clair Qll) Banner. of the 10Th July says:
A general gloom was thrown over the feel
ings of our citizens on Thursday last, by
intelligence of most melancholy accident
which happened on that day near Tama-
rawa, in this county. 1t appears that Mr..
Huelbig, most respectable German far
mer, living on Dutch Hill, was going from
his residence to visit some friends, or rather,
we believe, to attend wedding party in
Twelve Mile Prairie. He was accompa.
MED by his wife, three daughters, all wo-
men grown, and another young lady whose
name we have not learned. In attempting
to ford a small pond or slough near Tama.
rawa, through which the road lay, Mr.. H.:
horses and carriage got off the track into
deep water, and, painful to relate, all five
of the females were drowned. Mr.. II
succeeded in saving himself but could
render no assistance to the others. The
horses were likewise drowned.

CAPT. KIDD's TREAsuRE.-ln passing

the result of the enterprise before the dog

more than six hours. and millions of prop

OBy gentleman from Keytesville,
we learn that an alteration occurred near
that place, on Sunday last, between Geo.
