NEWS FROM TEXAS. THE SEQUESTRATED PROPER’ At the late term of the Confederate States District Court, held at Tylor, a decree was entered for the se- questration of a tract of forty thousand acres, valued at $150,000. The Houston Telegraph says:—The troops on the books at Austin, as being in service, arg ten regimonts of in- fantry, seventeen regiments of cavalry, one battalion of artillery, seven companies of light artillery and six independent comyanies of arti!- lery—in all at least twenty-six thousand men— and the majority of these are exlisted for the war. The whoie amount the State has becn called on to furnish has been nineteen thousand two hundred, of which eight thousand havo only been ordered as areserve. The re- giments of Colonels Darne!l and Johnson will be ordered to Kentucky. The Herald montions a vague rumor affoat im San Anto- Bio, that Sidley has been defeated. Our letters from Mosilla are to the 25th ult. as late as couldcome through, and nothing is said of it. It is undoubtedly a mistake. ‘The 7leyraph of the 19th thes notices another rumor:— A wild rumor has gained some credence in Western Texas, to the effect that 1,200 men had been landed near Cor, Christi, and were making a demonstration there. De tachments of men were ordered frum San Antonio and Victoria to mect the invaders. The rumor has no other foundation than that some of the one horse blockading craft down west have been mancenvring to get posseasion of some light draught schooners in Corpus Christi Bay, in whieh endeavor they bave been thus far frustrated. Should they succeed, thoy may inflict some injury to — Christi aud about the bay. This is not at all ely. ‘The Galveston News of the 15th has the following:— ‘We are credibly informed that the Vanderbilt, alias Biack Joke, c eared from a Texan port for ———and a market, 8 fow days since, with a full load of the “king.” We are told by Gen, J.

The mountain, it is thought, will bo pene- d at other points and the gap attacked on both sides. The present approach is probably a mero feint, while the foree of Eastern Kentucky will penetrato into East mnnersee and other places.

We are sending forward reinforcemonts with the greatest possibic despaich, but wo have no tents, and the at Nashville I presume to be irreparable. The Marshall Lage Republican urges upon the plant- ers of that county that they plant but little cotton this year, anc ad’s:—We have seen several who intended to plant large grain crops and but little cotton. Our armies ‘and people must be fed, and the prospect is that this food maust, in a great measure, come from the extreme South. Let our farmers plant sufficient to make provisions cheap, and if our friends have to fall back upon us, or to call on us for aid, that we may have bountiful granaries to draw on for their relief.

It is because ho is the courtier of misfortune; he has sacrificed his blood and his liberty for the cause which then was considered as an Utopian scheme many of those who now listen to me; he has had the instinct and the idea of liberal Napolconism, and of the democratic principles which constitute the glory of it. (Hear, hear.) Tho explanations given by tho President of the Council of State on the democratic banquet—since that is the naine given to it, and which I accept—have rendored my ob- servations on that subject uselcss; nevertheless, I will point out to the Senate a phrase in tho official report which is to be found at the commencement ofthe speech of M. Ratazzi. In thanking those who had offered him tho banquet, he said, “My first thought turns towards the Emperor of the French, the wortny chief of your brave nation.” If the toast to the Emperor was given by M. Ratazzi, it was because it was thought more suit able that it should come from the mouth of an Italian than from that of one of the editors of the French press who were —S. at the banquet. The honorable Marquis, who is so well informed, must know that that bust of the Emperor was in the banquetting room. Does he know when the bust of the Emperor was insulted and broken? It was amcng the army of the Pope (noise). Since he bad recoived information from lis friend General de Goyon let him ask him to give Din some more as to the scenes which took place with de Merode, the Chief of the Papalarmy; he could ‘m him that, but for the respect for the soutaine of that priest. litle worthy of the name, he inight perhaps nu have Kaa ufficient command over himself not to by disas trons extremities to the expressions made use of by Mgr. Merole, in speaking of the imperial government.” It ts there that must be sought the hatred for the name of Napoleon end for France,and not in the democratic press, which doubtless sometimes allows itself to bo led away into excesses, which I deplore, because they injure the great cause which it is called on to defend. As to the question of hereditary succession, the honorable marquis has made a confusion which | caunot allow to pass unnoticed, between just hereditary succession, which has for object to give more stability to the institutions of tho country, and (hat of another kind. I am desiroug of showing tho sine Which line boed nantes be comp the prect princgrs of that whit made, gr incipl+s oj the revolution and net that &f Die such as ak f stood by those whom you loved until 1852, until the period when you entered this assembly, M. de ia juelin, and be assured that this is not a reproach whigh I make to you. I make great di © between those two here- ditary successions, and let me beallowed on this occasion to read the words of the glorious chief of our dynasty when, in 1804, he reper the hereditary empire. This is what he repliod to the Senate when it brought to him the senatua consultum:—'‘All that can contribute to the welfare of the country is essentially connected with my happiness. I accept the title which you think useful to the glory of the nation. Lhope that France will never repent the honors she confers on my family.

It ia like a street fight betwoon two cabmen in kid gloves. The scene ef the late remarkable display is tho Freneh Sonate, and the actors in it comprise a prince of the blood, morethan ono high diguitaryy of tho church, some no- bles of ancient family, and, as chorus, the whole assom- bly of eminent Frenchmen who have reccived the dig- nity of Sonator on the ground of their wisdom, thoir patriotism or their occupation of high official posts. It was before this illustrious-body that Count de Versigny began to speak on Friday, the subject being certain at- tacks made on him by Count Segur D'Aguesseau. This gentleman had called tho minister ‘‘the Polignac of theem- pire, and had accused him of imposing silence on journals of sound principles, while allowing democratic and rovo- lutionary prints to fill France with their misstatements. That a member of the most exalted body of the empire should think ft to call tho Emperor’s Minister by the name of a politician who had overthrown a dynasty, and been sentenced as a criminal by tho laws offthe country, iscertainly an offence that could hardly be paralleled under the much abused reign of Louis Phillippe. M.do Persigney spoke a few words in good taste, and then loft his adversary to be dealt with by M. de Lagueronnicre, of whom bi. d’Aguosseau had politely said that he had “misrepresented facts for party purposes.”’ After a short discussion that subject also dropped.

His parigh- ionors, like himself, were proud of Washington, and claimed him as partly their own. From researches he had made he found that the first Washington who sottied. at Brington was Lawrence, who, having been # barris- ter, turned his attention to sheep farming, and upon the suppression of the monasteries obtained a grant of the manor of Sulgrave. The family subsequently became alhod to the Spencers, but fortune was not always favore- bie to them until the union of one of then with a sister of George Villiers, Dake of Buckingham, rostored them te prosperity, The younger scions of tho Washington fami- ly wore constant inmates of the palace during the roigm of.james I., aud thorefure when tho civil war broke ous it was not surprising that they adhered to the royal cause, and reilected credit upon the name by thoir gal- lant exploits at Bristol and Colchester. The family omi- grated to Amorica in 1657, and tho illustrious George Washington became the pride and honor of both hemi- spheres, The character of that great man was untar- nished by ambition, pride or vanity, in which respects he might be compared with the late Prince Consort and William the Silent. It was to be hoped that the citizens of America would always appreciate and imitate tho ex- amile of thoir glorous founder, and take as their guide the three stars of his family arms, which probably had suggested the idea of the national bannor, and which symbolized truth, patriotism and trust in God.
