JEFF. DAVIS ON THE MILITARY COMPLICATIONS ~
TExAs-In the State Convention, at Austin, ettg
was received on the 9Th instan; from Gen. Waul en-
closing letter from the Secretary of War OF the Con
ederate States, in relation to the military complication
in Texas. President Davis instructs the Secretary
War to say that he is disposed to assume every pH
sibiity compatible with the relations of the Fedora
Government to Texas. President Davis considers
due to international courtesy that the Government
the Confederate States Texas included, after her with
drawal from the United States), should accord to t
troops belonging to the Federal Government reason
able time within which to depart from her territory
Should the Federal Government refuse to Withdraw
them, President Davis does hesitate to say that all
the powers of the Southern Confederacy will be prompt
ly employed to expell them. Gen. Waul, in bis COM
muncation, says the possibility of settling Difficult
ties by reconstruction of the old Union, never a.
uded to in the Congress and that the proposal would
receive about the same encouragement as proposition
to re-annex Texas to the States of Mexico.

down through some of principal streets The water
is brought from the lot the west side of Fourth st.

of the springs which issue out of the hills of clear sand
upon which the upper part of our town is built.
The supply is quite considerable and only wants ele

We believe the experiment is made by NJ London

Cincinnati and other ports of entry in the West, will
be landed at New Orleans bulk broken and then for
