Gov. Houston. - We find the following significant paragraph in the Richmond Enquirer.
The necessity of arresting further cruel misrepresentations may draw forth a more particular account of the late unpleasant events touching Gov. Houston -- but in the meantime it may be briefly stated, that in an unhappy hour, his judgment became shaken on her throne (to which circumstances he probably alludes when he refers to "the questionable authority" by which he might be supposed to hold his office) -- then this gallant and generous man became the victim of a vague, most unfounded and unjust suspicion; the innocent and amiable object returned to the parental roof -- the governor resigned his office -- and has retired among the Cherokees, west of the Mississippi, one of whose Chiefs is his old and ardent friend.
