WASHINGTON, Friday, Aug. 31.

New-Orleans dates of Tuesday last are received, containing Texas news.

New events were daily occurring in various parts of that State, adding considerably to the excitement already existing there.

A plan to burn Sulphur Springs had been discovered. A slave negro-preacher acknowledged that he and others had set apart a certain time to burn all the dwellings in the place and commit other depredations, and then in case they could not whip out the whites, they were to take all the horses they could lay their hands on, and fly to the Indian nation.

A white man named TAYLOR, who had made negroes his only companions, had been ordered to get his traveling card immediately or be hanged.

An attempt was made to burn Indianola, but it was discovered in time to prevent serious loss.

A white man implicated with the negroes had been hung near Ione.

A plot to burn and destroy had been discovered among the negroes in Tyler Prairie.
