The Original Bou diaries Of Tcros-an In
portdnt Nore.-The Houston Telegraph thus re-
fers to bill introduced in the senate:
A bill has been introduced INTO the senate by
John T. Harcourt, Esq, restoring the original
boundaries of the State of Texas 1t declares
that Texas yielded assent to the settlement of her
boundary, because the question was linked with
the series of measures composing the compromise
of 1850.
That the United States has been guilty of bad
faith in all the questions embraced in the CO mpro-
mise of 1850, resulting in dismemberment Of the
Union, for the sake of which Texas was willing to
sacrifice her immense territory. That finally the
United States has broken and violated her part
Of the Compact, and therefore it is annulled and
Cancelled The bin then asserts out title to the
boundaries, embracing New Mexico etc, and au-
thoizes the governor to take Military possession.
Our correspondent says it meets with great favor
and will probably pass.

RELIEF FOR THE FAMILIES OF THE VoLuN-
rEERs-We understand that in the interior Of
the State farmers find it so difficult to dispose of
their produce that potatoes can in many places
be had as low as three cents, and corn as low as
six cents per bushel. The Union Defence Com
mittee should take notice of this fact. They will
have heavy pressure upon them in the winter
for the relief Of the families Of the absent voiun
teers--a pressure which we are afraid their re-
sources will be inadequate to meet. If, before
the navigation closes, they were to take advan-
tage of the unprecedentedly low price of pro
visions, and lay up a stock to distribute to
those having claims upon them, they would be
turning the money entrusted to them to much
better account than by doing it out in small
sums thousand dollars employed in this
way will do the work of four times the amount
q couple of months hence

SON OF NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN NAVY YARDS.
Orders have been issued for the survey service

in the selection Of for Navy Yard be
located somewhere the the Narragansett bay
within the lines Of the State of Rhode Island.
The Naval Academy is already temporarily located At
Newport r. L. and it is not at all unlikely that it viii
main there for many years, IL 1t should not be per-
nancntly fxed at that point. Our government has
already lost two az its Navy Yards-one Of which
perhaps, tho most valuable in the United States
the other the soathernmost, and, dur
ing tho months, not q safe reRdez
for vessels, but for the winter season II was
peculiarly adapted for the purposes for which II
built. wiz be from the tables give below that
the Northern Navy Yards have always built tho largest
number Of vessels, and that the Pensacola Navy Yard
which ia IN Inc hands Of the rebels, has only turned
out two vessels, viz-Tbo Pensacola, second class
screw steamer q 15s tons: her hnll built there but
her completion performed Mt the Washington Navy
third class sol The Norfolk yard
is Of the oldest in the United States, from its
stocks have been launched two ships of the line one
frigate, four brig four steamers
and one side whee steamer besides doing amount
OF rehtting and rebuilding Of vessels Tie Of this
yard very severely felt at this time by the Navy De
parlment and to make up for the less of the yards
and more especially location the North for
yard whore at all times workmen plenty and the
climate is healthy, they have decided looking for
place on tho waters of the Narragansett.
The bay is Of sufficient depth and capacity 10 accom-
modate large feet and shelter It during the preva-
lence Of winter gales The distance from the open
is less than from Norfolk the ocean what
still more advantageous, there Is noble fertilization
the immediate vicinity and when Fort Adams is ankcd
by demunes it becomes fortress. Now that the chan
mel at He'll Gate has been dcepeRed communication with
the largest ships be had with the Brooklyn Navy
Yard. 50 il seems that desirable place could
have been selected
The United States Coast Survey steamer Vixen, Com
mander Phelps, will be despatched few days to the
bay to survey it, for the purposes Of finding the
entire soandings, while Professor Humphres, United

veys.
should the result their part prove satisfactory there
is doubt that In short time yard will be located IN
