Affairs in Texas.

New Orleans. March 1.
--Harrison county, Texas, voted 868 for secession, and 44 against it. Cass, Marion, Rusk and Cherokee counties were almost unanimous for secession.

Capt. Hill refused the demand of the Texas Commissioners to surrender Fort Brown or the public property there, and sent to Ring gold barracks for reinforcements to retake the property seized on Brazos Island. Danger of a collision is imminent.
