The Steamship Palmetto, which arrived here
night Def re last, brought us our files of Tex
as papers They, however, contained but lit
tie news. The Iluntsv,ls Hammer, OF tho 9th,
says:
"ConsiderOblo rain has fallen lately IN This
section of country. The farmers mostly have
their crops plOnted-some have corn several
inches high; vegetation of al kinds looks lux
uriant. 1t is supposed that the ram that has
fallen will rise the Trinity, So that cotton now
on its banks can be shipped To market. Sew
eral of the planters in this vicinity have stor-
ed their cotton at Cincinnati. But there has
been no boat up during the winter. /, i, re-
ported that there will be a boat up as ,on as
there is a rise in the river"
The Austin Democrat, of the 9th says, that
by Capt Ross, who is just in from Touey's Ira
ding House, they learn that Maj. Neighbors
had returned to that place from a trip among
the Camanches, and barely escaped with his
life. Having vcntured into the camps Of the
lconies, and other wild bands of the Caman-
chcs, they ovinced determination to kill him
but were over awed or restrained BY the friend
ly Indians who accompanied him. He cventu-
ally succeeded in making treaties with them
lie states that they were holding war dance
over the scalps of white man and woman,
supposed TO have been killed west OF San An
tonic.
Gov. Wood sent in message TO the Lcgis-
lature in relation to Santa F6j which country
(this side Of the Rio Grande) Texas claims,

is to have the Legislature take some action to

RevoLUTIoSs.--Thc following paragraphs
are extracted from the latest Mexican news re-
ceived at New Orleans:
Ell Lngenio, published at Morella under date
of the 9Th inst, says; "A revolution has
Just broken out IN Gaudalajara, against the
Government Of the Union, against peace, and
in favor of Gen. Santa Anna" This we find
in the Star Of the i4th-the lates, paper from
the city Of Mexico. A revolution in the
powerful State of Jalisco has long been appre-
hended. That Department has long been a
hot-bed of revolutions. Should this news
prove well founded, it BODIES no good to the
cause of peace, but we hope Santa Anna may
be we'll out Of the country before the revolu-
tion reaches q crisis.
the North A merican Of the 10th inst. has
accounts of a revolution in Guatemala. IfI
that paper be accurately informed, Gen. Car
rera has baen deposed from the presidential
chair, and the Vice President is acting in his
place, and endeavOring to put down the insur-
rection.

Of the armistice provide that there shall be an

Editor Southron: The applications through
me for cadetships at West Point, and for boun-
ty lands, have been so numerous, and my cor
respondenco is SO heavy and laborious, that |
have thought it best to communicate to the
scveru! applicants through the press.
Thete was but one appointment of cadet to
be made from the State of Mississippi. There
being two in from the lst Congressional dis
tricr, and one from the 4th, that appointment
was assigned by the Department, TO Mr.. Fea h
erston and myself. We could not agree upon
the individual who should receive it, but agreed
that the records OF the Department should be
retcr2d to, an dthe nomination fall to that dis
trict which had not received the last appoint
ment. Upon such reference, it was found that
seven appointments had been made from the
counties composing the 3 district, since one
had been made from those composing the ID;
that no appointment had been made from the
second since 1882, and none that ever was ac-
cepted, while several had been accepted from
the Sd; OF course, under these circumstances
the nomination for appointment was given,
and think properly, to Mr.. Featherston Mr..
Inge of Monroe received il. The applicants
Tor admission into " est Point Academy this
season, would Of themselves constitute large
army.
At this time, there are in the Pension Office,
from 10000 to 1900 applications for bounty
land no, acted on. The commissioner inform
cd me on Yesterday, that he had just taken up
the bundle of applications filed on the 81 day
OF December last. Each is taken up and dis
posed nl in the order in which it is filed, aud he
says, it will be from three to four months be-
fore claims now presented can be attended to.
The office is overwhelmed with business, to
expedite which there is bill before Congress
. provide uadt,ion~l elsrss Gov II. II this bill |
pass into law, hope and believe it will, there
will be much greater dispatch in the disposal
of those claims, Those who have sent their
claims to me, will see in these facts the reason
why their scrip has not been sent to them.
They may rely on my attention.
You will oblige nc much by publishing so
much q. this lc;tc. as concerns the applicants
for cadetships and bounty lands, for their in
iniormation. Thc Mississippi press generally,
would place me under obligations, by aking,

From CnINA.-The ship Panama arrived at
New York from Canton on the lth inst +, hsv-
ing left Canton on the 18th of December:
The intelligence is of very deplorable char
actor. There are bloody indications Of anoth-
cr war between England and China.
The Chinese had butchered in the most
shocking and cruel manner six Englshmen,
who had gone short distance into the inte-
rior.
Sir John Davis, the Governor Of Hong Kong,
had arrived at Canton, and demanded from
the Chinese government the fullest redress for
the ouirages committed; but no satisfaction
having been received, a consultation Of the
officers was held, and they had partly conc ud-
cd TO blockade Canton. The force, however,
was not sufficient.
Two British steamers were ordered TO pro-
coed as far up the river as practicable, in or
der that they may be in readiness to blockade
as soon as determined upon.
