Neabreska, Te1as and oolumbia:

In Texas there is a very strong feeling
manifested by the people Of certain portions
to divide the State, and form an indePrndenl
jurisdiction west Of the Bnzos. The pro-
ject meels with general favor from the por-
ton Of the state desiring it, but as might be
e1Pscted---a settled opposition from the
mother portion. An extra session of the
legislature is recommended BY some Of the
papers, to take immediate action in further
ance Of the measure. .FI |

be organized out of that extensive region Of
country known as the Nebreska, daring the

Last week we eayethe substance d re-
port that had reached this phce, Of the
wrecks nr three vessels, at the mouth of the
Columbia river, and the total loss of their
cargoes. Additional particulars have since
reached Us, for which We are indebted to
Mr.. -JoHN Swan, Esq, late of San Fran
cisco, confrmalory of the serious catqstro-
phe. Ii appears that the 81. Merithew "
and {" Mendora," arrived inside the bar
mouth of the Columbia, on the same day,
about the Sth Of January, with fair wind !;
and that after arriving inside in safety, they
were becalmed, and accordingly dropped
anchor. The Columbia river being high at
this time, and the current very strong, they
were forced, despite of eXertions, back upon
the bar, where, through a succession Of
groundings, they were atlength precipitated
Outside-both total wrecks. Both crews
were saved--the former by the pilot boats,
and the latter by the boats belonging 10 the
vessel. Cargoes an entire loss, including the
most extensive stock Of provision ever ship
ped for Oregon.
The brig Vandalia." left San Francis
co for Portland some days before either Of
the vessels above named, and on the recent
arrival Of the propeller Fremont with
the mails at Astoria, a wreck was reported
coming in, on which was found quantity
of goods, recognized as answering the des-
cription Of those shipped on, the "Vanda-
lia." Fears are entertained that she has
been wrecked off Shoalwater Bay.
The "Susan Abigail" and vessel sup
posed to belong to the Hudson Bay Com,
pany, were seen outside the bar for Ten OIL
fifteen days, immediately preceding The date
of the above disasters, and is supposed they
have again put to sea. The Susan Abb
gal" " had also a cargo of provisions for the
Willamette valley. Besides the serious loss
of The owners, in the destruction Of The
above vessels, several merchants have beer
seriously injured; and from the scarcity o
provisions in the country, the entire com.
munity has been more or less affected By
the disaster. All the elements appear Il

one.eighIh 10 one quarter Of mile fTom The
main land, for distance Of three miles and
upwards. l was also surprised to find so
many fne bays and harboTs. Just below

rounding country can be seen in ali their
beauty then again there are others IN the
valleys which, are no less desirable. We
are not so far out of the way as you might
suppose, for all vessels in going up or down
the Sound have to pass BY the Island, and
we also have them frequently loading in
Penn's Cove. We have store in our con-
templated city Of Coyefand, st which can
be obtained al kinds Of goods as well as
provisions. We are very anxioas that meA
