We have dates from Texas TO the III

ratified the proceedings of Congress. &C
cepting the proposition of annexation from
the United States Governments; a resolu
lion was adopted requesting the President
of the United States forthwith TO send
troops to the Texan frontier to protect the
inhabitants and preserve peace. The
troops are already on the frontier, or dis
puted territory, and Mexico will doubtless
take some decisive steps soon.
The Hon. X. l.. Anderson, Vice Presi-
dent Of Texas, died on the 10th.
The following appointments have been
made by the President:
Hon. Ebenezer Allen, Secretary State.
Hon. w. B. OchiItree, Attorney General.
Hon. J. A. Greer, Secretary Treasury.
The reports of the crops throughout the
country are highly favorable; Galveston
and the other cities and towns continue
healthy; emigrants are fast pouring into the
country from the adjoining States of the
Union; and the prospects of Texas are
said to be prosperous and encouraging.

POLITICAL REVOLUTIONS.

The organ Of the government at Wash
ington favors the world with a glimpse OF
MIR. Folks message TO the next Congress,
as now in embryo. ii seems from the
revelations there that Mr.. Polk is 10 re.
commend that
Congress assumes the debts of Texas
and take the lands, or that
Congress take the lands in trust and paw
the debts as far as her lands will 90.
Mr.. Donelson, too, we learn from the
same source, acted in the promises he made
10 Texas upon general instructions which
the President will carry out so far as he
can, by urging their fulflment upon Con-
gress.
This proposed assumption of the debts
of Texas must open in Congress the as
sumption of the debts of other States: and
il may lead to the success of Cost John
sons proposition for a general assumption
of State debts. Ii is pretty certain that
'the democracy" of Michigan, Illinois, In.
diana, and Mississippi will not readily agree
TO pay off the debts of "the democracy"
of Texas, unless there is TO be some recip-
rocity.
1t will be urged, however, that the Texas
debt is a peculiar debt, and, indeed, tina,
there will be no assumption if the United
States takes her lands to discharge the
debts. But Texas, in this respect, is no,
peculiarly situated. Maine has public lands,
so has (or had) Massachusetts; both of
which States. we dare say, would like to
have the Federal government take their
lands and pay their debts. Again, the new
States all own more or less of public lands,
the gift of the United States for school and
public Improvement purposes; how gladly
they would give up their lands, if Congress

NEW YORK FIRE.

Our exchanges are filled with incidents
of the great fire in New York on the 9th
ult, the beginning of which we noticed in
our last The fire continued TO rage some
ten hours. Nothing definite is known as
to the number of lives lost. Several dead
bodies have been taken from the ruins
Five hundred and forty-nine houses were
destroyed, in the most business part of the
city. Many of the buildings were the
finest and largest in the city, and were
filled with merchandise of various kinds.
The loss of property, in goods and bull
dings, is estimated at S5,OOO,O00 Most of
this is covered by insurance. 1t was be-
lleved most of the insurance offices would
be able to meet their losses, but it fell SO
heavily on some that they had announced
their determination to close up.

AMERICAN HEMP.

! The Washington Union of the 23d ult.
says: ave notice several articles on thi.
subject in the Missouri papers, complaining
that the resolutions Of Congress for the en-
couragement Of domestic hemp have moi
been executed by the Navy Department
The gist of the complaint is, that hemp
purchased at the west has heretofore been
required to pass a final inspection al
Charlestown, where only it can be manu-
featured, instead of being received at in
spection in Missouri or Kentucky. Inas.
much as the difficulty has been entirely re-
moved by the letter of instruction, which
we published yesterday, from the Secreta-
ry of the Navy to the chief of the bureau
of equipment, accompanied by the very
interesting communication from the agent
in Kentucky, we see no necessity of en-
barrassing the subject with any additional
remarks"
This is matter Of moment to the hemp
growers of Missouri. The Secretary Of
the Navy has received a severe castigation
from the press of this State and Kentucky,
for failing to carry out the law of Congress.
Now that he has been forced to do Justice
to the hemp growers Of the west, they can
turn their attention towards the successful
competition with foreign hemp. The agents
for the Navy are instructed TO give the
preference to American water rotted hemp,
for Naval purposes, if it can be furnished
at as low price as the foreign article
Hemp growers who may desire 10 furnish
supplies for Naval purposes, hereafter, will
have their hemp inspected by the govern
ment agent of the State, lat St. Louis, we
believe) and receive the same price as they
formerly would have received, after having
it shipped, at their risk, to the Navy yard
at Boston. 1t will now be purchased by
the agents of the government here, and
shipped at her risk. The editor of the 81.
Louis Reporter, who has been very eff
cient in bringing about this favorable
change, in reviewing the letter of the Sec
rotary of the Navy says: "Congress con-
templated, nay directed, the purchase OF
American water rotted hemp in the States
of Kentucky and Missouri, provided it
could be obtained as cheap as Russia hemp
can be purchased in the eastern cities. The
bonus thus offered by the Government for
the production of hemp for the use of the
navy, was, the risk and part of the cost OF
transportation from the West to the East
but that Mr.. Bancroft would have with
held from the hemp growers of the West
if the public press had failed to discharge
its duty" 1t will be seen heretofore the
hemp had to pass final inspection in the
east, and if refused, the producer could get
but little for it: perhaps not more than suf.
icient to pay costs. We noticed some in.
stances, however, where hemp had beer
refused by the government agent, and af
forwards sold to private individuals at 8
higher price than the Government was
paying. The government agents, it was
charged, gave the preference to the foreign
article. Such impositions cannot occur
now.
