From Texas.
BY the arrival Of the steamship Palmetto, Capt.
Smith, we have Galveston dates to the 18th inst
Accounts from the interior represent ae weather
as favorable for the growing crops, and the pros
peet much improved.
The News says We copy the following important
item of news from the Washington Ranger. We
can only say. that we are glad the true issue has
been at last presented to our citizens. We shall
now soon know whether our citizens are ready to
meet that issue and defend their rights at all haz~
ards; or whether they win tamely give up their
rights in view of the superior power against which
we shall have TO contend in order to maintain them
A gentleman Just from Austin informs us that
Maj. Neighbors had arrived from Santa Fe, with
out accomplishing his mission--ihe organization Of
the country. The commanding U. S. officer at that
| post issued proclamation by order of Gen. Tay-
Tor, calling on the citizens 10 hold convention for
| the purpose Of forming State Government, which
has been done.
| This intelligence has caused considerable excite
ment about Austin and the whole West Nearly
every man is willing to shoulder his gun, and de-
mand the rights of Texas at the cancn's mouth.
| Gen. Taylor is much mistaken if he expects Texas
to submit to this injury and insult. We understand
| that Governor Bell has made peremptory demand
on the u S. Government for the rights of our State
and should this have no effect, he will doubtless
march with volunteer forces and take that portion
| of country which of right belongs 10 US.
| The following is an extract from the proclamation
of Col Monroe, the civil and military Governor Of
New Mexico:

The Houston Telegraph is out in indignant lam
guage against the Proclamation, and says that it
urges the people of the territory to rebel against
Texas.
