Texas.

Galveston and Houston papers to the Odd ultimo
have been received at New Orleans. The Texans
are in daily expectation of the arrival of troops
from the United States. With respect to the Conven-
ton TO frame State Constitution, we extract the fol-
lowing from the Telegraph of the 23d:
"All the members of the Convention we under
stand, are in Austin. The different committees
are 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 Constitution is before the
Convention. From the assiduity displayed by the
members, and the harmony in which the business is
conducted 1t is thought that the work will be COM
pleted before the middle of August"
A New York paper says that letter has been re-
ceived in that city from of the popular and
influential members of the Texan Convention stating
that it is in contemplation among the leading spirits
of that body to divide Texas into two States making
the Brazos the dividing line the Western State to be
called Austin, the Eastern one Texas.
TEXAS CONVENTION Washington Union con-
tains list of the members of the Texas Convention,
with statement of their occupation places Of nativ-
ity, &C., from which it appears that of 81 members,
(the whole number,) ID are from Tennessee, 8 from
Virginia, g from Georgia, 6 from Kentucky, from
North Carolina; 8 from South Carolina, 2 from Mas
sachasetts, 2 from Pennsylvania = from Louisiana
and one each from Maine, Ohio. Alabama, Texas and
England VI lU the nativity Is not stated; but they
are all Americans except one, who Is from Ireland
So it appears that all the members of the Convention
are natives of the United States except three, viz
Navarro, of Bexar, Texas, Taylor, of England, and
Powers of Ireland all of whom voted for annexation
The only vote in opposition given by R. Bache
from Pennsylvania He, however, afterwards con-
CURED, and signed the Ordinance accepting the
lutions Of the U. S. Congress.
Of the whole 81 members, % are lawyers, ii
farmers 6 planters, merchants, 2 mechanics, i
surveyor, editor inspector of customs, physician,
while of 8, the occupation is not stated

SECRETARY OF STATE IN BAD Box.-The Lou
isville Democrat contains the following hints about
recent adventure ohe Secretary of the State of Ken
lucky
Our readers have heard more or less Of the dis
graceful transactions at Frankfort last week. IN which
our Secretary of State cut conspicuous figure.
He was chased by mob from private house of ar
cquyocal character into one of the public buildings
He was admonished that his hiding place was not
safe and by the aid Of some who labored to assuage
popular Indignation, he made his escape across the
river at one ferry whilst his horse sent over at
another He vengeance against Frankfort from
the opposite bank Of the Kentucky river, and then
made tracks. Different versions of the transaction
which gave rise to the excitement against him are
giyen-all of which amounts to pretty much the same
thing although shall not state anJ of them until
they are furnished from another Suffice 1t to
say that young lady concerned, and the clrcum-
stances of the case, they given by rumcr,
peculiarly atrocious. We will not say that they JUS
tilted the mob; but we do say that the excitement
produced by the belief that such act had been per-
petrated is honorable to the moral of the people
of Frankfort In the meantime, if the Secretary has
any thing to say for himself he ought to be saying it
very soon if he has nothing to say, it is time he was
off to Mexico As the matter stands the Secretary OF
the State of Kentucky has been chased away from the
seat of government and rghteously, too if he is as
guilty as he is charged.

The Columbus Gazette has been revived by Mr.

they will be, so far his pocket is concerned The
Gazette contains many horrible typographical blum

Mexico.


AWashington correspondent of the Journal Of Com.
under Gate of August 5th aues to certain that
the administration is now less confident of maintaining
peaceful relations with Mexico than it was prior to
the last advices Still 10 thinks that circumstances
do not sustain the At any rate. the govern
ment has prepared itself to repel any aggression
either by sea, or land which Mexico can make
There is some reason, however, TO believe that
Mexico will declare wsr-though the declaration may
never be followed up. We have given her new cause
OF hostility as she Will conceive, IN sending the U. S.
troops across the Neuces; and thereby have not only
she viii assume, taken possession of Texas but in
vaded the soil of another Mexican State
1t is very true that Mexico could not 20 to war

account OF the annexation of Texas, after having
authorized negotiation with Texas on the basis Of
Independence But the appearance of u s. troops on
the Rio Grande will present new question for
Mexico has never contemplated the recognition of
any boundary westward of the Neuces.
When Mr. Adams made an effort TO recover Texas,
he considered the Neuces the boundary and offered
much for Texas with that boundary and double the
sum with the Rio del Norte for the boundary. Mr..
Bentrn also, in his project of annexation considered
and proposed the Neuces as the proper boundary.
have doubt that Mexico will resist this new nva-
sion of what she deems her rights; and if she will
fight for any thing she Will fight against this encroach-
ment.
But some suppose that neither Mexico nor the U. S.
yet prepared to 60 towar for this boundary claim
and the military forces of both parties will be ordered
TO deslst from actual hoStlites within the disputed
territory until it can be made the subject of some
other mode of settlement.

OSrA horrible murder was recently perpetrated
at Xenia, o., which has created great sensation in
that vicinity.
About 2 O'Clock on Sunday Morning, of last week.
the dry goods store of Peterbaugh and Allison was
discovered to be on fire. Two young clerks named
James Kinney and William Steele, were known to be
sleeping in the store, and the door Immediately
broken open in order TO alarm and allow them to
cape. Upon breaking open the front door, sheet of
flame and smoke burst forth, and the body of Kinney
was discovered lying near, shockingly mangled. He
was taken out alive, but lived only hour. Steele
was observed to be his cot but far from the door
as to be out of reach. His body afterwards re-
covered from the cellar into which it had fallen
ly consumed The back door was already discovered
to be standing open, which left room to doubt that
gang of robbers had entered the store, and after
numbering the two young men, had plundered the
store and then set fire TO it, TO conceal the double
crime they had committed. A reward of $1,000 has
been offered by the citizens and the county, for the de-
lection of the murderers; and further reward of
$780, by the Odd Fellows of Dayton Some pedlers
have been arrested on suspicion.

Smuggling through Texas.

The :" Union !" in noticing the attempt to evade oui
revenue laws, by bringing goods into Texas not for the
legitimate purpose of consumption there, but for tran
shipment free of duty, after annexation into the Uni
ted States, says
ave deem it our duty to advise capitalists, boil
foreign and domestic to look well to the consequent
ces before they embark in those Perots specuations
or they may find, when it Is too late, that they have
lost something than their anticipated profits"
The Union says g that for months past, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has had his attention directed to
this most important subject and that the whole power
devoved upon him by our constitution aud the law
Will be exerted defeat these speculatons, and pro-
tect the revenue and the goods cannot be import
ed here from Texas free Of duty, until after the formal
admission of Texas State by the next Congress,
that body will doubt feel called upon, by special
legislation to guard, TO the full extent of Its great
powers over this subject against these contemplated
evasions of laws. We say, then, to these
peculators,-Beware; the revenue laws cannot be
evaded in this manner with impunity."

AN UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE recently happened
at Louisville:
"a negro woman, owned or hired by MIR. Tomp-

badly treated by certain negro man. MIR. s. D.
Tompkns, brother Of the owner of the negro wo-

about to strike MIR. Tompkns, when the other young
gentlemen attacked the negro with has fist, and the
latter fought back with spirit. Mr.. Tompkins, mere

ORA pretended correspondence between "Major
Lewis Figg" and Col. R. NJ. Johnson, in relation to
the killing of Tecumseh, is going the rounds OF
the Wing papers. 1t is the baldest and grossest
Roorback imaginable; false and incredible on Its
face yet Wing editors such simpletons as to
seem to regard it authentic. Their folly infinitely
exceeds their knavcry, and is worthy only of the
greatest scorn and derision.
