Texas Accent. he Boundary Bill.

The Legislature Of Texas assembled in special
session at Austin on the 18th ultimo, for the pur.
pose mainly of formally deciding upon the accept
anco OF the law of the last Congress proposing to
limit the boundaries Of that State. We learn
through the Telegraph that the question has been
settled by the acceptance OF the proposition.
The report is that, with the exception of one dis
sentpg vote in the Senate, the measure was
unanimously accepted by the Legislature. This
decision is highly beneficiatl to the interests Of
Texas, besides relieving the country of question
which the disorganizers hoped at one time to turn
to their own wicked purposes.
The agreement on the part Of Texas to this adj
iustment of her boundary, adds another to the or
ganized Territories of the United States by per
uniting the act for the establishment OF Govern
ment in NEW-MEAlco to go fully into effect

CALIFORNIA;.

The fact that the current sets against
California at present in the number Of pas
sengers by the Isthmus route is obvious
and noticeable. But it should be borne in
mind that, while comparatively few choose
this season for migrating thither nearly all
who may choose their time for returning
will naturally select the close of the bust
ness season, or some time in November or
December. And, while thirty to fifty thou
sand per annum take the overland route
from Missouri to the Sacramento, not FIVE
hundred have returned that way in any
year, nor ever Will until Railroad shall
have been constructed at least part of the
way. Once crossing the mountains and des
erts is dose for any man. Those who be-
come homesick OF from any cause decide to
return, take the Isthmus route, if any; if
unable TO come that way, they stay. Thus,
while we note only the departures for Cali
fornia by single route, we have lists Sub
stantiallyl of all who return by any and
oi5 routes, in the passenger-ists of the
steamships from Chagres.
California is in the main healthy coun-
try. Yet there have been many deaths in it
during the past season, and there was much
sickness when the Panama left. One
standing reason for this is the irregular life
led by many of its people. San Francisco
is Sodom, where vice and debauchery
stalk brazenly at noonday-where there
is properly no female society, no literature,
70 decided moral and religious influences
operative on the great mass of the people
To become suddenly and immensely rich is
the very general and absorbing purpose;
the grossest sensualities are the current re-
laxations. Thegsmblers are the most pow
erful and wealthy class; while a large ma
ioriry of the females are scandal to wo
manhood. With Gambling and Lewdness,
Intemperance of course goes hand in hand;
and the aggregate per man Of utterly de-
testable, poisonous, diabolic Liquors con-
sumed throughout California was never
equaled elsewhere since the world was
made. Gambling, Licentiousness, late
hours, irregularities of all kinds, and an

WASHINGTON, Friday, Dec 6.
1t is generally understood that Monday will bs
marked by important movements, among
the rest that for new construction Of the Bounty
Land bill, of which notice has been given The
Fugitive Slave Law TOO. will probably receive
special attention. So then will the ball be far

Correspondence Of The Tribune
WASHINGTON, Saturday Dec 7
The balance which will be required by ths
Treasury when appropriations shall have been
made carry out the laws OF the last session will
not vary much from sl30000oo Provision is
to be made for this either by loan or by
such revision Of the Tariff as viii give the re-
quired balance. Government does not ask the
loan butsuggests the latter expedient and many
are now looking about FOR the first time to see
what may be the project. Judging from the talk
of those of the Opposition, who are supposed to
hold the keys OF St. Peter the prospects are by no
means fattering.
But for the shrewd manner in which the lesis,
alton OF the last session was conducted by the
South and W est..eyen amid those fearful storms
of sectional excitement ami the awkward posi-
ton in which the UaioH portion of the South have
ngeniously placed tie North there might be some
hope. AS it is, the W estern aud Southern votes
which might have been obtained in consideration
of that immense grant OF Public Lands voted to
carry out the vast project OF a railway from Chi
cago to Mobile, are thrown away, aud, in addition
the South stands in the position of a deeply Injured
and wrouged party, already borne down by un-
bcarable aggressions, and little disposed to make
any further concessions TO her rampant conQueror
who admits that he has committed many and
grieyious sins against her, and hopes he shall be-
prompted by the divine spirit to do considerably
better in future.
From the tone of certain Members there ia
reason to believe that strong measures will DE
made to meet the deficiency partly by a slight
modification Of tariff and partly by loan, and az
it is not difficult to tell where the power lies u
would not be surprising if this policy were CARR
ed out 1t is evident that Wing Congress viii
be necessary before we can have tariff IN any
degree sufficient.
Dr. FoorE, our late Cdorgt at Bogota resumes
his editorial chair at Buffalo his resignation hay
ing been accepted by the head of the State De
partment Nj. WEBSTER ls said to have beon
exceedingly well satisfied with the manner in
which the duties OF his mission were discharged,
as was the late Secretary. The rumor that Hon
j. c. CLARK Solicitor of the Treasury, IS to take
his place is unfounded. Mr.. CLARK's legal abb
tiles are wanted where he is, and he has little
desire To 90 to South America. That JoHN A.

DISASTERS or THE FREsHET-The late anow
and rains caused sudden and almost unparallel-
ed freshet in the Oat.ka, sometimes called Al
lens Creek which runs through this village
Nearly every bridge and dam for miles above

freshet Some of the accidents and damages thus
caused are as follows Al sprague's Mill, in Pa
vilon, the dam was partially swept away, with
part Of the bridge and stone and earth abutment
At Bailey's Mil, the dam and bridge were both
carried off The dam at Roanoke . was endangered ed,

ofThursday more distressing than the loss of prop

employed in disengaaging some flood wood on the
brink of the dam, the boat was carried over by
the fury of the current and two of the three per
sons in it, were also carried into the boiling food

brink until relieved Young Judd was seen to

ance in Joint Ballot where u L. S. Senator is to

Gov Browns Message is in the usual vein of
the Southern nionists. Here is its most impor-
tant paragraph
"While it affords sincere qualification to be-
leve that disposition exists with the Federal
Administration and majority Of the Senate Of
the United States to maintain the compromises Of
the Constitution, We are painfully reminded that
unless the turbid and swollen tide of fanaticism
be stayed by the people themselves, all such bar

fcation of the law for the recovery of fugitive
slaves will, in my Judgment be tantamount to q
formal record and notification OF the unwillingness
of our Northern brethren longer to abide by the
Constitution of the United States.
