rived last eycning-ihirty hours from Galveston.
A meeting was held al Galveston on the lst
instant for the purpose of inviting John c. Cal
houn 10 extend his visit TO Texas. Gen. Lamar
presided. The meeting resolved that, "in the
name Of our fellow citizens al large, we invite the
Hon. John G.. Calhoun 10 extend his visit 10 US,
and mingle socially among our people" They
refer 10 ''the ohiest patriotism the purest nteeri-
ty, and the highest ability, in his long and bril-
liant public career, and feel, loo the warmest ad-
miraton and gratitude for his uniform justice and
kindness towards the people OF Texas"
We notice lengthy correspondence in the
Galveston Civilian between committee Of the
citizens OF Washington (who invite Gen. Hous-
ton 10 dinner) and that gentleman. He does
not say that he has been in favor OF Annexation,
but argues that, from his public course it is evil
dent that he was and must have been.
The citizens OF Houston, also, invited Gen. Il.
TO public dinner, which he declined.
On the Both uli. heavy thunderstorm passed
over the Bay Of Galveston. Immediately after
the shower, the bay was seen covered with dead
ducks and geese in all directions. Thousands
were killed by The storm. Some wild geese on
the prairie were also killed.
In Brazoria county, says the Galveston Daily
Globe, not single vote was recorded against An
