# Late from Texas.
. BY the arrival, last night, of the steamship Port
/ land. Capt Place, we are in receipt of Galveston
v papers to the 10TH We extract the following para
l. graphs from the Civilian of that date:
It CoLD.-Last night was the coolest of the season
Yesterday was raw, cloudy day at dark, cold
! drzzling rain set in during the night the weather
n became cold and clear, with sharp wind from the
d North, and this morning many objects We're decked
g in slight coating of sleet. Ice hafannch thick
was found IN some places.
4 ROAD TO CALIFoRNIA.-It is stated that Cen
, Worth has decided to move from San Antonio on
the lst April for the purpose Of estab lishing the
military post of Ell Paso, on the Rio GraIlde. Col
Hays accompanies the expedition, and, with Gen.
W. will visit the river ella. This expedition will
establish the road to California. The other end of
the route has already been thoroughly tested and
explored by Z. S. troops. Gen. Worth, before
moving, viii doubtless have collected all the neces-
sary information as 10 the best route between San
Antonio and the point on the Rio Grande, where
MAJOR Emory took his departure from that stream
Tor California. Many Adventures from Texas and
elsewhere, will doubtless accompany or follow the
command of Gen. Worth.

The steamer Washington took 800 bales of cotton
on board there the last trip. The towns below are
| all looking up, decidedly.
Steamboat nav CATION is advancing on nearly all
| the rivers of Texas. The steamer Angeline has
made several trips this winter up the river Angelina
| to Pattonia, within fifteen miles of the town of

| cotton per trip and, it is stated, found but little
| dIfhcuity IN the navigation.
