Court MARriAL--rHk BOUNDARY QUESTION.
Iron the Nev Orleans Delta, Dot 81
We have received Galveston and other Texas pa
Pers, by the steamship Galveston, Capt. Place, ar
Major Henry, who recently passed through this
charge preferred by the Quartermaster for 'unoff-
cer-hke and fraudulent conduct" The charge
was based on an order given by Major II. to IN
clude the horses OF Msjor Neighbors in the forage
return.
Major Neghbors. after organizing the county of
FL Pase, travelled with Major Henry TO Santa Fe,
and on his return stopped at Don Ana, when, as a
&c mile man, the Majo extended to NeighboH the
hospitality OF his quarters, and in the presence OF
the Quarlermaster of the post, he ordered his cor
peral TO embrace in his forage returns, sufciency
for Major Neighbors, which returns for eighty
quarts ofcorn were regularly made out and sigaed,
and the forage furnished For this, charges were
preferred against Major Henry BY tfis magma
nimous QuaTtemaster, for "unofficerlike and frau
dulent conduct" based upon the issue of this corn
to Major Neighbcrs. He was tried, and convicted,
and sentenced to pay 10 the Quarterniaster De-
partmt mt the sum Of ten dollars, the value of the
forage improperly drawn; TO be repnmanded in
orders from the Head Quarters of the 9Th Depart
ment, and copy of the proceedings and sentence
OF the court TO be sent TO each Deputy Head
Quarters for PRONUNCIATION, and that Major Henry
be suspended from rank and command, and his pay
stopped, for six calendar months. On the recon-
mepdation Of several of the members Of the court
martial, that portion OF the sentence which re-

public meeting was held at San Augustine on
the 9TH instant, TO ACT upon resolution offered at
a previous meeting. approving the act of the Texas
Senators in voting for the Pearce bill. After cou-
siderable discussion, a series of resolutions WI re
offered as substitute. One of these resolutions
condemned the Pearce bill another declared thai
the boundary OF Texas, as declared by the law Of
1856, must be respected; another, that for vdlua-
bic consideration the people Of Texas might dis
pose Of their territory north of 81 deg MN, that
south of that line il might be conquered bat never
purchased. Another of the resolutions declares
that if tie late message Of Pre- ent Fllnore was
INTENDED TO Rtmdate, it has failed of its object
another declares stlong attachment 20 this Union,
but stronger one To the State OF Texas. The
question was upon the adoption of these resolu-
lions as substitute for the resolution approving Of
the vote OF the Texas Senators OR the Pearcs
bill.
When the motion was put (says the San Au.
CUISINE Ec7dkO division was called for and the
substitute received and adopted by large maj ori-
~ Upon the announce hlent from the chair that
the substitute was adopted, an enthusiastic Cl..
burt OF cheering broke forth from the ssrmbly,
winch continued until the meeting adj ourned D."

Mr. Walton, says the Galveston Ners Of the 9th
uitimo, who passed through this place few d avs
snce, with dispatches TO Gov Bel, AT Austin, re-
turned night before last. We understand the Co
vernon viii issue his procla mston submitting the
proposition from the General Government TO the
direct vote OF The people, Immediately on the re-
cep OF the Official copy ofthe ball which is carried
by Col Levin, and no doubt reached him yesref-
dag. We presume the Governors proclaim ation
directing the vote TO be taken will Be issued from
Austin to-day, ana sent by expresses TO the dlfie
ept parts OF the State. Ii Is supposed BY gentlemen
just from Austin, that the day tor the vote TO be
taken, will be eiiher the last Monday in October,
or the first Monday in November The bill re-
quIes the acceptance by the General Assembly"
of Texas, before the hrst day Of December, which
viii, therefore, probably have 10 be given before
the vote OF ihe people can be officially known.
