There will be some startling intelligence from Tex
in less than six weeks from this Time Texas will
send adequate force al once is supposed 10 ef
feet her objecis,-probahly 25G0 men. There are of
Santa Fe abuut two hundred Texan camp followers,
who take interest IN favor of the Texans The
troops of The United States. under Col. Monroe, num-
Der about FIVE or six hundred to which six hundred
about be added. The Texans in tins city, are
of the opinion that Texas. supported she is by the
sympahies of the whole SOUTH will the United
States military officers, and bring them TO trial for
obstructIug the operation Of her laws.
Should the adjustment bill be defeated, there is no
doubt that Texns will absorb New Mexico and If the
United SIaes interfere, the Southern States will give
her all The aid she needs. The quarrel will afford
pretext for the disunIonsts of the South commence
the movement of dissolution. 1t is better, perhaps
that the contest should commence there than here
where it was, at one time, thought it would begin.

would prevent oil this trouble; hut, in my opinion,
that Is event which might well be left out of
the question, until some Northern Wing members of
the House can be found who will vote for it.
1t would not, to-day get eighty votes in the House.
The public were warned that there would be chance
for the passage Of this or any adjustment unless it
could be done before the meeting Of the Nashville
Convention. and befre the controversy between Tex
as and New Mexico had come 10 u head. In May
the adjustment bill might have been ia ssed if it had
a
doubt whether majority of the body are now very
deslrous of having any division on the bill. There
are many who would have objection to be relieved
from the duty ut voting at III upon it.
