W. H. Wharton started on the 16 for Nashville-we re• mained to close the business of the commission in this City, which we have done in a very advantageous manner, as I think, for the interests of Texas-we have effected a second loan of $50,000 for land at 50 cents pr. acre-some difference between this and the monclova legislature which gave lancl al about 50. dolls. pr. League- This loan produced us 40,000 dolls. prompt payment in hand The news from all quarters is cheering and prosperous for Texas-nothing is wanting but an immediate declaration of inde- penclenee, and union and harmony al home, without this all is lost- There has been the most pcrfeel harmony in the commis• sion-we all agree as to the main principles, and <'specially as lo independence- I hope that in future there will be union, more so
