FROM TEXAS.

The Legislature of Texas met at Austin on the
22d January. Gov. Houston's message was re-
ceived He favors calling a State Convention
Both Houses have repealed the Kansas resolutions,
passed by the Legislature in 1858. The House
took up and passed the Senates bill, directing the
Comptroller of the State to proceed to Washing-
ton and collect all monies due the State of Texas.
The Legislature passed resolution repudiating
the idea of using force means to coerce any
seeding State, and declaring that any such at
tempt will be resisted by Texas to the last ex-
tremity. Only one-ffth of the members of the
House are opposed to immediate secession. 1t is
expected that the question of secession viii be
ferred to the people.

JANUARY 29.-Senate-Mr King introduced a
resolution authorizing the President to accept vol
unteers for the protection of the public property
Mr. Wilson introduced bill for the re-organiza-
tion of the militia of the District of Columbia.
Mr. Bingham presented memorial for the re-
peal of the Fugitive Slave law
The Pacific Railroad bill was taken up and a
number of amendments proposed; one providing
for the northern route adopted.
Mr. Mason moved to strike out of the bill all
portions which appropriated money with view of
showing that Virginia dissented from making a
large debt, when probably all the public debts
would shortly be apportioned among the States,
and that Virginia should not be held chargeable
with any of the sum now appropriated. The mo-
tion was lost.
Uouse.-The House resumed the consideration
of the report of the Committee of Thirty-Three
Mr. Harris, of Nd, denied the constitutionaty
of the right of secession. He expressed the be-
lief that not a corporars guard in Maryland
favored disunion. Faults had been committed on
both sides, but Southern politicians fostered dis
union, affording new sphere for their defeated
ambition in the Union. He favored Crittenden s
resolutions.
Mr. Winslow, Of N. G., defended Southern
rights, and reviewed the proceedings of the COM
mittee. He said the North ultimately designed
the total abrogation of slavery, and without quar-
ter, and it could not be expected the South would
remain in the Union
JAN. 30.-The Senate passed the Pacific Rail-
road bill by vote Of 81 TO a.
In the House, Mr. Cobb, of Alabama presented
officially the Ordinance of Secession, and with
many regrets withdrew from the House The
select committee of five reported in favor of au-
thorzng the President to call out the military in
certain cases. Two minority reports against CO.
ercion we're also presented from the same COM
mittee.
The report of the Committee of Thirty-three
was debated
Jan. 31-1n the Senate, to-day, Mr. Seward
presented petition, with $4,000 sgners, praying
for compromise, and stated that he had been re-
quested to advocate it. A debate between Messrs.
