It appears to me that nothing can put
stop to the expedition. The country
through which ! passed on my way to
this place, is all 10 an uproar, preparing
to move. There are great many troops
over the Sabine, and many more going
daily.
"A letter has been received here to-
day, from DR.. Robinson in Philadelphia,
informing that he had sent on 500 from
that city, and the calculation is that a
great macy will leave Baltimore. Several
regiments are raising 10 Kentucky, and
several boats are ascending the Red
River, with troops. Large appropria.
tons are made iu New-Orleans. The
tide Of emigration is bearing to the South
west like torrent. Gen. Long has sent
ION two commissioners to GaIyeztown,
where Gen. la Fitte is stationed. TO bring
him into measures. His cooperation is
expected. We are about to start for
headquarters in one hour.

friend IN this city, received by TO days

F" A number Of Patriots are daily arri-
wing and departing for the Texas expe-
dition. They are all in good spirits, and
look like robust country fellows. Gen.
Long is now encamped few miles below
the Sabine river, and has upwards Of 500
men with bin. we'll equipped. Yesterday
news reached here that 500 men had ar
rived at Galveztown, on their march to
Texas, to join Gen. Long. 1t is said
they have been sent there by DIR. Robin
son, formerly Of Natchez. 1t is generally
believed the expedition will succeed, pro-
vided it be managed 10 right manner !;
some of our most respectable citizens have
offered their services to assist the Patri-
OTIS.
C II is very automatically reported that
1900 or 1000 Spaniards under the com
mand of General Aradonda, were on their
march to Nacogdoches, to defend the
country. 1t is generally believed here"
ARMY OF TExAs--GENRRAL ORDER,
Camp Freeman. June %, 1919.
On taking the command Of the army of
the Republic, which has been vested in
him BY the voice Of the representatives Of
the people, the commander in chief can.
not refrain from expressing his sensibility
to SO distinguished a token of public con-
fidence. Aware of the responsibility
which the important station imposes, ii is
with dillidence Of his own abilities, but
with no distrust of the goodness of the
cause in which these troops are levied,
nor with any doubt Of its ultimate success,
that he enters upon its duties.
He pledges himself to fulfil them to the
utmost Of bis power. From his comrades
in arms, he expects ready cooperation
in those measures which he may deem it
expedient TO adopt to bring the approach
ing contest to happy issue. Il is unne-
cessary for him to appeal, to a patriotism
which has evinced itself in rally ing round
the standard Of Independence, or to add
stimulants to zeal which shrinks from no
sacrifice, and which no danger can ap
pal. He trusts that no individual under
his command will tarnish the character
Of a soldier by the commission OF any act
which may call for bis animadversion-
but he owes it TO himself, to his country,
and TO the epuation of the army, TO de-
clare his determination rigidly TO punish
every violation OF the rules and articles Of
war.
The very existence Of an army, not less
than the well being of the country whose
banner it upholds, and those rights it pro-
fesses to vindicate, imperiously requires
the strictest preservation OF discipline.
Under this conviction, the Commander in
Chief will feel himself compelled to in
flict the measure Of justice on every Of
fender. The rewards which await those
who faithfully perseyere to the end, con-
joined with that sense Of honor which
should be cherished in every soldiers
bosom, will operate as sufficient incen-
tive to all who are capable of approaching
their own interests. or who have at heart
this country's welfare, 10 pursue with un-
deviating step the path of duty.
