Cheering Union News from Texas.—The. sub joined intelligence is communicated to our col umns, says the National Intelligencer, by a lead- ing'citizenjof Texas, temporarily sojourning in this city: “Letters received by Texans in this city from Austin, the State capital, give assurance that in that city at least there has been a great reaction against the revolutionists. On the 23d ultimo the largest meeting ever held at the capital assembled; a pole ninety feet high was raised, from which streamed the Stars and Stripes. The masses came up from the hills and mountains. Men, women, and children marched in procession to the Capitol, where they were eloquently addressed by Judge E. D. Townes. Gen. Houston, aud Judge John Hancock. Pa triotic resolutions were passed amidst enthusiastic cheers for the Union, ‘Hail Columbia,’ ‘The Star-Spangled Banner,’ and other patriotic airs were played by the German Band and sung by the Ladies. The crowd would not disperse, but at night formed a torchlight and transparency procession, and marched through the principal streets. They were eloquently addressed by sev eral gentleman. The letter say that the ‘Keign of Terror’ is over, and that the Secessionists have thrown aside their cockades. If proper concessions be made at Washington the Union men of Texas will be able to save that colossal State from anarchy and misrule. The people of Texas have tried the cost of revolutious, and are not ready to plunge into one which will multiply taxes twenty-fold, until stern nec^sitj/ and safety demand it. ‘*And we may add here a word of advice to the friends of the Union. There is nothing like speaking out and showing your determination to uphold your Government. Much has been lost by the silent passiveness of Union-loving men. All the speakers who addressed this meeting are Southern men, and large slaveholders. Gen. Houston, itris well known, has freely shed his blood on more than one Southern battle-field. He bears the sears of honorable war, won upon the field of San Jacinto, where Texan liberty was es tablished. Col. Ward lost an arm and a leg at the storming of Bexar, and has ever been fore most upon every battle-ground otTexas. Judges White and Hancock rendered valuable services during the conflicts of the Lone Star Republic. Judge Bell is a native of the soil, a Christian gen tleman, and a scholar of the first order of intel lect. Such gentlemen have a right to be heard before the Government which they have helped to rear and to maintain is overthrown for any cause whatever. Let iheir example be followed by others, and let those of the non-slaveholding States whose acts and sentiments have caused so much estrangement and excitement in the South be admonished that such patriots can be sustained only by their evincing a readiness to do prompt justice, and to remove every cause of appreheir- sion.” Safe, either way.—At an early hour this morn ing, the Superintendent of Public Buildings, Capt. Samuel Freeman, caused to be displayed from the roof of the Capitol Building two new and beauti ful flags. The one over the Senate chamber, or Southern end, is the State flag, and represents the Virginia Coat of Arms, with the well-known mot to, '■'■Sic semper tyrannis” in bold and attractive characters. The other, over the Hall of the House of Delegates or Northern end of the building, is the stars and stripes, whieh float proudly to a stiff breeze, and attract attention far and near. These flags were procured in Philadelphia, and have never before fluttered over the Capitol of the Old Dominion. I questioned the venerable Capt. Free man to-day regarding the motive which prompted the hoisting of State and Federal colors over the State House. He jocosely responded, that in the present unsettled condition of affairs, it was im possible to tell into whose hands we were to fall, * and he thought it best to endeavor to please both governments.—Rich. Cor. Pet. Express. An Incident at Fort Sumter.—One of the Bal timoreans who recently returned from Fort Sum ter details an impressive incident that took place there on 3Iajor Anderson taking possession. It is known that the American flag, brought away from Fort Moultrie, was raised at Sumter precise ly at noon on the 27th ult., but the incidents of that “flag raising” have not been related. It wal a scene that will be a memorable reminiscenee in the lives of those who witnessed it. A short time before noon Major Anderson assembled the whole of his little force, with the workmen em ployed on the fort, around the foot of theflag-staff. The national ensign was attached to the cord, and Major Anderson holding the end of the lines in his hands knelt reverently down. The oflScers, soldiers and men clustered around, many of them on their knees, all deeply impressed with the solemnity of the scene. The chaplain made an earnest prayer—such an appeal for support and en couragement and mercy as one would make who felt that “man’s extremity is God’s opportunity.” As the earnest, solemn words of the speaker ceased, and the men responded Amen, with a fer vency that perhaps they had never before experi enced, Major Anderson 4rew the “Star Spangled Banner” up to the top of the staflp, the band brdke out with the national air of “Hsil Columbia,” and loud and exultant cheers, repeated again and again, were given by the oflScers, soldiers and workmen.

Death of the Marquis of Dalhousie.—The Mar quis of Dalhousie died at Dalhousie Castle, Mid lothian, Scotland, on the 19th December, in the forty-eighth year of his age. He was one of the most popular Governor Generals of India. * ♦ In LS48 he accepted the brilliant post of Gov ernor General of India, where his annexatioils of territory were alike rapid and unexampled in ex tent. After his health had been destroyed, he * was required by the Court of Directors to remain and finish his work by deposing the Kin"^ of Oude. Of this stroke of policy, Sir Charles Napier, the military commander of the army, wrote, “we have no right to seize Ot^dc, yet we shall do so, and a very advantageous, useful, hu mane piece of rascality it will be.” Another Slnver.—An Havana correspondent of the New Orleans Delta writes under date of Dec. 26th: A large French ship was captured* to the east ward last Friday, with 1020 negroes on board, by a small Spanish war steamer, and brought into this port on Saturday.
