Texas.

We received, by the mail Of last evening,
the message Of Governor BELL, Of Texas. Our
readers have been informed of its purport here
tolore, and as il is our intention TO give it in
full, we exclude any extracts from il this morn
ing, to make room for the interesting intelligence
from New Mexico. Atthe time Governor BELLS
message was communicated TO the Legisla-
ture, neither the PRESIDENTS message nor the
Senate BILL for the settlement of the boundary
question, had been received at Austin. The
papers Of that place, Of both parties, represent
the sentiments Of Governor BELL as those Of
the whole State The Southwestern .7neri-
can says:
"There ia but one universal feeling pcrvading all
classcs Of citizens. The rights Of the State have
been threatened and Texas has nothing left to do
but take possession OF that portion Of her own
domain by force Of arms, if necessary, until the
came has quietly submitted to her jurisdiction, and
her rights thereto be unquestioned by the United
Statcs; when this be accomplished, Texas il free to
receive offer from tho Federal Government for
that portion Of the territory comprised in our north
western corner. We have no fear but that mem
bers of our Legislature will be found equal to this
most embarrassing crisis, and things will be prop.
erly managed on our side"
The State Gassfe-the paper Of tho State admin.
istration holds the following language in relation
to the expected action Of the Legislature
1--WE anticipate division Of sentiment upon
the great and portentous question with which they
viii have TO deal We look for entire unanimity
in the adoption Of the most effective and vigorous
measures which the pressing occasion may seem
to demand. There will be no timd or half way
expedients resorted TO, with hope Of composing
or defcrring the issue which has been forced upon
us. The issue has been presented by the General
Government, and il must and will be met in the
true spirit which has ever animated the people of
Texas under circumstances equally untoward and
unpromisiDg. In times past they commended sue
ccssfully, in righteous cause, against powerful
Odds and IL need be, they will not be found want

essential issue between the pretensons TO sbso-
lutte central power and the constitutional liberty Of
the States. In resolving such an issue, we have
abundant reason TO believe that Texas will not be
without the necessary aid

writer in the Milledgevile Recorder ar
CUES that, if California should be admitted into
the Union as a State, with her present limits,
the Governor of Georgia has no power TO call
convention to consider the act. He refers TO
the resolutions passed by the Legislature de-
claring that ''the admission of California as a
State, in its pretended organization" would
devolve the immediate and imperative duty
on the people of this State to meet in conven-
ton TO take into consideration the mode and
measure of redress, and maintains that these
resolutions confer no power on the Governor to
call a convention. He also cites an act that
was passed by the same Legislature, providing
:" that should the Congress of the United
States pass any lar prohibiting slavery or in
voluntary servitude in any Territory of the
United States; admit into the United States,
as a State of this confederacy, the sparsely
peopled territory of California and New Mex
leo, &c." the Governor shall call conven-
ton; and argues that it only empowers the
Governor to call convention when California
and New Mexico shall be admitted rs one
State, and that such was the understanding
and intention of the legislature.
We give the argument for what it is worth,
and we have referred to it mainly on account
Of its citation of the words of the resolutions and
the act, by virtue Of which there can be little
doubt Governor TowNs will call convention
upon the happening Of the contingency specified
in the former The language of the latter is
certainly loose, if not unntcligible

Uniaue Country Residence.

II was our good fortune 10 pay flying visit last
week TO the farm Of friend Ben. Perley Poore,
esq, Of the american Senfind.
. The residence OF the Poorc family s in West
Ncwbury, Essex county, Massachusetts,. The farm
we vistod il now in the occupancy OF Major Poorc'
father, and lie to belong to the major by birthright,
.as the eldest son. The house was built in 1850
consequently IL is fioo hundred years old. Its pro.
prictor, Benjamin Poore, GEO, the brother OF
Bishop Poorc, the founder of the Salisbury Cathc
dral, ia England, said 10 be the most splendid
church edihce, as to the variety Of its finish, in the
world
The house i'm Ncwbury was built Of stone, in a re-
tired spot, nearly surrounded by an smphitheatre
Of hills. Many changes, ne may well be supposcd,
have passod IL. But the outline Of the original
structure still remains IL is Of the old English
cottage style of architecture, with a mixture Of
Gothic and Roman. spife rises from the centre,
and on the wings Major Poore IL now constructing
stone towers, two stories high, with fitting battle
mcnts. The windows arc Of diamond glass, and
open perpendicularly in the centre. Vines are
trailing all them, the first story, and creep
ing up by the side Of the door way. The hall has
gallery around IL, with an imitation-o oak baus-
trade. Between the beams overhead, stucco work
is placed with fine effect, and tho stained diamond
windows throw in a rich and mellow light. SIEVE
raj paintings and tho old family clock arc in this
hall. Tho passage through it leads to rural re-
cess entwining with creeping vincs, and Ope ming
out 10 the billy country beyond.
Beside this Is the cabinet Of curiositcs where In
dian and other rclics ready TO repay the gaze
OF the curious. The rooms opening IRON the main
entrance mostly clustered together with folding
doors in such n manner that four can be almost
thrown into Here is small but choice colloc-
ton of curostics, obtained by Major Poorc during
his travels in Egypt, and Of rare come He has one
head of Washington struck on copper, which was
intended TO be circulated a. currency, but which
the illustrous Pofer Pafri0 caused to be destroyed
in the die. But five specimens were taken, one of
which is thus periodically preserved in the Poorc
family
The adjacent buildings and grounds Of this old
Yankee farm are laid out in a wsy 10 reflect the
highest credit the propriotors The father OF Ben
Pcrey has obtained several prizes for the best ag
ricultural specimens. Among these We noticed a
splendid silver tea set that grsccs the family board
The trces and gardens bcspcsk the interest felt in
the old soil by the Pooro family; and every thing
attached to this truly unique residence is calculated
to carry ono back to the sacred and precious mem
orios Of the past.
