IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS. From the N. 0. Commercial Bulletin, May :id. GLORIOUS NEWS FROM TEXAS! (..SANTA ANNA TAKEN!! We have been politely flivored with the following extract written to a gentleman of this city, from Natchitoches, which goes still farther - • to corroborate the account re• ceived by the Levant which we publish to day. The substance of which is,that an express has arrived here, via Natchitoches, from Texas, and is confirmed by Gen. Gaines, that Gen. Houston of Texas, has conquered I Santa Anna and his army. Santa Anna himself, and his soldiers all prisoners. The forces of Santa Anna were estimated at 1100; and those of Houston at 600. The express further states that Houston's army destroyed half of the Mexicans, and the loss on his side was 6 killed and 20 wounded. The saddle of Santa Anna was taken and brought in, and is of a costly order, being estimated as worth between B or 800 dollars, and the express who brought in the news, rode on the horse of Santa Anna. All this is indeed cheering news, calcula ted to arouse all the better feelings, which are implanted in the hearts of those who can rejoice in the triumph of freemen over their civil and savage oppressors. The intelli• •;ence received en►ly yesterday morning, and which ►s also published, will be seen to be confirmed by the news brought by the Levant, with the difference only that the number of the enemy killed and taken by Gen. Houston, vary in amount. HEAD QUARTERS, ARMY, A pri123,1836. To the People towards Nacogdoches: We met Santa Anna on the 21st; we at tacked him with 600 men; he had 1100 in. fantry, two howitezers—we entirely routed his whole force, killed half of his men, and took the rest prisoners. Santa Anna him self, and alrliis -principal officers are our prisoners. The history of war does not furnish a parallel to the battle. We had 6 killed and 20. wounded. I have not time or 1 would send on a full report. I will do that in the course of to-morrow. I again call on my fellow citizens to come to the field; let us fall on and conquer the remaining troops, and our country is free, turn out at once, there is no excuse now; let us do the work at once. THOS. J. RUSH, Sec. at War. I certify the above to be a true copy o the express just received from the Secretary of War, who was himself m the battle. To J. R. Drum. San Augustine, April 26. The following is the informal:in which came to hand early yesterday morning: A gentleman of this city who arrived this morning from Attakapas in the S. B. Velo- cipede states bat on the evening previous to his departure two persons arrived at St. Martinsville, direct from Texas! That these persons who afiiieared to be men of respec tability, related as a positive fact, that an engagement had taken place between the Texan forces under Gen. HOUSTON, and the Mexican army:in which the latter were totally routed having lost 700 men in killed and wounded, and 500 prisoners, among whom was Gen. Cos. The loss of the Tex ans is said to be inconsiderable. The circumstances as related by these gentlemen, were that the Mexican army had from some cause or other been separat ed into two bodies divided by the River Brazos, that the sudden rise of that river prevented the two bodies from effecting a junction—that HOUSTON marched against the larger body amounting to 1900 or 1400 men, that the latter retreated, and in their retreat set fire to the town of Harrisburgh. Houston succeeded in overtaking them about seven miles from the town, made a sudden and vigorous attack on them, and or ter some severe fighting, the Mexicans wore totally defeated, with the loss above men tioned. The gentleman stated that they were a short distance from Harrisburgh and could distinctly hear the fireing and that the result was well known before their de parture—that Houston had marched in pure suit of the other body which it was supposed could not possibly escape him. The N. 0. Bee of the same date as the above says, "We heard it stated as if on good authority that General Houston held a coun • cil of War on the fate of his prisoners, and that Santa Anna and all his officer, had been shot; the privates were sent to Matamoras. It was also stated that General Gaines had written a private letter confirmatory of this account; but we did not see it. There can however be no doubt that Houston has con quered; and that the Mexican army is pros. trated. The day ofretribution has at length come; and Texas is free." LETTER FROM GEN. GAINES. TEXAS.—The following letter from Maj. Gen. GAINES has been furnished for publi- cation by the War Department: Head Quarters, Western Department, CAMP SABINE, 28th April 1836. Sin—l have the honor to state that re• ports have just now reached this place, through various channels, which leave no doubt of their correctness, that on the 21st instant, a battle was fought near twenty miles east of Harrisburgh, in Texas,'between the Mexicans, under the immediate command of their President, SANTA ANNA, and the Texians, under General HOUSTON, their 'commander-in.chief; and that it resulted in the entire overthrow of the advanced corps of the Mexican army, which appears to have been very far out ofsupporting distance from the larger part of the army, most of which is said to have been upon. the Brasses, near St. Phillippe, distance sixty miles. It is stated that between five hundred and six hun. dred of the Mexican troops were killed,nnd the residue of the advance, about the same number,takon prisoners,including the Presi• dent himself, with big staff, and most of his principal officers, and that he has declared the middle of the mnin channel of the Mis souri river to n point due west from the north west corner of the State of Missouri: and on the south from said point due east to the north west corner of the State of Missouri, and thence with the boundaries of the states of Missouri and Illinois, to the point first a bove mentioned. The northern boundary line is in lat. 49°. A. HOUSTON. Wisconsin is said to be, in general l y hilly country, with the exception of extensive prnries. At the western extremity of Lake Superior are the Cabotian mountains, and near the mineral district are the Smoky mountains. The country is well watered. One .of the largest rivers is the Ouisconsin a branch of the Mississippi, which has a course of between three and four hundred miles generally navigable for boats in good stages of the water. Along the banks of this river the land is rich and fertile; wild rice, which constitutes a considerable part of the food of the inhabitants, grows luau• riantly. in the vicinity of hike Superior there is a fine section of the country for hunters—buffaloes, elks, bears and deers are common, and afford fine sport, as Well as great profit to trappers and hunters. The country at the head waters of the Mismissippi, estimated to be 13:30 feet above the level of the sea, abounds in minerals, there being great quantities of green earth, lead, copper and iron. The lead mine dis trict lies between Rock river and the Ouis consin. The chief establishments of the present miners are on Fever river, and the mines are probably as rich and abundant as any in the world. Great quantities of na tive copper have been supposed to exist on the shores of Superior. The northern part (Willis extensive terri tory is excessively cold in the winter season. At St. Peter's in 1820, according to Long, the mean temperature ofJannary was zero, and at the falls of Pachagama, on the Mis sissippi about 1200 feet above the sea, wa ter has been known to freeze in July. The southern parts, however, possesses a climate comparatively mild and resembling that of the northern belt of Missouri. We annex a synopsis of the bill that has passed:— "Indian rights extinguised by treaty, are not to be impaired, and the U. States are not to be inhibited from establishing other territorial governments within the above limits whenever Congress may deem it ne• cessa rv. The executive power is to consist of a governor appointed for three years, unless sooner removed by the President. He is to command the militia; perform the duties and receive the emoluments of superinten dent of Indian affairs: and shall approve of all the laws passed by the legislative assem bly before they shall take effect, dzc. " The Secretary of the territory is to be appointed for four years. His duties are multifarious: and in the event of the resig nation, death, or removal of the governor,is ad interim, to execute his duties. The St. Louis Republican of May 5, says —"The Mississippi is now higher than it has been for several years. We understand, that a great portion of Marion City is sub merged. Fears are entertained that the same fate will attend different towns and points on the tower Mississippi." The Memphis Enquirer of the 20th,— before the commencement of the flood above says:—"The Mississippi is higher than it has been for the last three years and is rapid ly swelling. Fears are entertained of an unusual overflowin of its waters. Specula tors in Arkansas lands will shortly have to use a ten foot pole to find their lands." "The gallows the most approve() road to everlasting hap . iaess."--Edinburg Review. The Indiana papers (says the U. S. Ga zette) contain an account of the execution of himself ready and willing instantly to ac• knowledge the independence of Texas.— Upon this point, however, I presume the constituted authorities of Mexico must be consulted. I have, moreover, learned that the Cher- okee and other Indians in Texas, from oar side of the national boundary line, are dis posed to return to their villages, plant corn, and be peaceable. This intelligence suggests to me the pro priety of desiring the Governors of the States of whom I requested volunteers, as stated in my letter of the Bth of this month, to sus- pend their movement. To t his I have added, that should the above reports be confirmed, as I have no doubt they will be in the course of a few days, I will, in that event, order an officer direct to the States respectively, to meet the volunteers, muster them into service, and then discharge them.

The bill has passed Congress for establish ing a Territory of Wisconsin, or Ouisconsin, as the tract of country was formerly called. The territory will embrace upwards of 300, 000 square miles, an extent of country near ly as largo as the 13 original States. It is bounded on the east by a line drawn from the northeast corner of the State of !

VIRGINIA accrtmvs.—The final result of the elections in this state, shows that the Whigs, instead of gaining. have lost. The Van Buren majority is greater this year than last, and there cannot now be a doubt that the btate will, nest tall, give a majority of from 8 to 10,000 for the Democratic elec toral ticket.

The ceremonies of the day aro represented to have passed offwit h great spirit, and gave evidence that the vote for which some would comdemn him, has con tributed to increase the estimation in which his constituents hold him. We regret to say that it is the opinion of I all the farmers with whom we have had any conversation on the subject, that the pros pect for the c9ming harvest, so far as wheat and rye are concerned, has not been so bad for many years. Even with a favorable season, there must be a grievous failure in the staple products of this county.

The Paris papers announce that the de- bate on the petitions for the recovery of the remains of Napoleon and their transmission to Paris, and for the repeal of the law which banishes his family from the soil of France, terminated by referring the first set of peti tions to the Minister of the interior, and by rejecting the second. The petitions referred to the Minister of the Interior, it is said, will share the fate of the others. General Bennelle, Commander of the (French) Foreign Legion in the service of Queen Isabella, directs, in reprisal for the massacre of such soldiers of that corps as fell into the hands of the Carlists, that in future no quarter be given. The town of Plencia had been taken from the Carlists. MORE INDIAN TROIIIILES.—The Savan nah Georgian of the oth inst. says, that by the steam packet Florida. from Picolata,via Jacksonville, they learn that it is reported nt Jacksonville that a large body of Indians had stormed the fortification thrown up by Capt. McLemore, on the Ouithlocoochee, and massacreed the garrison of forty men and the gallant commander. The National Intelligencer of this morn ing states further, that a letter was received at Washington, yesterday, from the com manding officer at Fort Mitchell. All under date of May 7, which gives information that the CREEK Indians have Just killed Colonel FLountior, 15 miles below Fort Mitchell; that the Seminoles having communicated to these Indians their success in baffling the troops of the United States, the old influen tial Chiefs say that they cannot restrain their young men. A postscript to the letter adds that a runner had, just arrived, with news of another min being shot in his bed. Firing had been heard the night preceding, and there was much fear among the people, of hostilities and mischief. Serious apprehensions are entertained of another barbarous and bloody Indian war. I===l THE LEGISLATURE.—The Legislature of this state commenced its extra session at Harrisburg on Monday the 16th. The sub jects which Will mainly occupy its attention, will be a revision of the civil code, and the apportionment of representation among the several counties. It will be remembered that three gentlemen of legal• science were employed on the first•named subject during Wolf's administration, at an aggregate an nual expense to the state of $6OOO. During that period none of their reports were con sidered; and it becomes now necessary to hold the extra session in order to examine the subject, and adopt such of the proposed reforms as may be judged beneficial. The apportionment bill also conspired to render this extra session necessary. In the return of taxable citizens of Philadelphia errors wore discovered, and others were suspected in the returns from some of the interior counties... Time was required for their rec- &alien; and it will be recollected that in 1832. this same subject of apportionment caused the holding °fan extra session during the administration of Grove Wolf [ York Rep.
