the 9th instant introduced bill for the settlement Of the
Texas boundary question: which read the first and second
time. This bill establishes the boundary follows the
north to the point which the meridian Of 100
degrees west from Greenwich, thence her boundary run

del Noe, and thence with the channel Of sad river to the
Gulf of Mexico.
For the REIMBURSEMENT of her claims to the territory in
cuded in these bounds the United States to pay Texas ten
millions Of dollars The proposed, we suppose
will meet the favorable consideration of Congress- We have
always regarded the settlement Of the Texas question as in
voving difficulty and probable danger the peace of
the country than any other connected with the topics Of the
day. The question is of adverse claims each side hav-
ing its advocates who respectively thoroughly convinced
of the truth of their positions There have at one time been
virtual recognons of the boundaries of Texas defined by
herself on part Of our Government while other times they
have been denied And this diversity opinion thorough
al this moment and out of Congress- any other period
Howis the matter to be settled. but by compromise cva
wGr2 "The whole case is fairly Of compromise, on
which mutual concessions may be made without sacrifice Of
principle either sde" Mr.. PEARcEs bill seems to meet
the difficulty in proper spirit and before Congress

FROM THE SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN AUGUST ID.
We hope and believe Mr. PEARcEs bill will pass the House
also. If does then the main obstruction to satisfactory
adjustment Of the slavery and territorial questions will have
been removed. California will be disposed Of Territorial
Government without the Wmot proviso will be given New
Mexico, and the fugitive slave bill passed When this
OF measures shall have been trumphanty carried through
congress then occupation will be gone" the fana
tics and disunionists will die for want food and the
restored harmony good feeling These measures
are all parts Of the defeated Senatorial compromise and we
can obtain them sngy shall be as much satisfied as
they had passed in their original shape and as whole. The
siiends OF the compromise will yet be triumphant.

no doubt that unless speedily pass Congress

upon the United States garrison in New MeIco--that the
