Extracts from letter sorittea by q gentleman of unquestionable veracity, dated La Baca, Octo- Der l, 1885.
 "The new officers who came with the arms, said, that as soon as General Cos should reach Bexar, 1t would be the signal of march for San Felipe de Austin .''
 Cos is about to pass on to Bexar. He has guard of thirty men with him, and the Morelos battalion of lancers is close at his heels. Cos has about $60, ,000 in spe- cie, for the purpose of paying off the troops. He informed the Alcalde of the Nueces, that he intended to overrun Texas, and establish custom houses and detach- ments of his army where he thought fit. ,
 A letter from Bexar says, The people must either submit, or prepare for defence ; as the intention is to march into the colo nies, and regulate the land affairs, and q great many things, by military force also, to clear the country of what they choose to call vagrants, &c."
 Information, which is relied on, has been received from the interior, that the States of Zacatecas and Guadalaxara have risen and taken up arms in defence of the consti. tuition of 1921, and in support of the fede- raI system; also, that there are insurrec- tions in the State of Tamaulipas, in favor of the same cause also, that tho republi- can General Juan Alvarez, has gained a victory over the government troops in the south oi Mexico.
 All these, and all the freemen of Mexico, are now fighting for the same cause that the people of Texas are defending. It IS the cause of freedom-it is holy and just, and must triumph. g N ADDRESS TO THE CITIZENS oF TEE UNITED

DEPARTMENT ORDERS.
HEAD QUARTERS I,Exla.


 Department of NacogdocAes, Oct 8. 1895.
 The time has arrived when the revolu- tions Of the interior of Mexico have result ed in the creation of a Dictator, and Texas is compelled 10 assume an attitude defen. sve of.her rights, and the lives, and prop erty ofher citizens. Our oaths and pledges to the constitution have been preserved inviolate. Our hopes of promised benefits have been deferred. Our constitutions have been declared at an end, while all that is sacred is menaced by an arbitrary power The priesthood and the army are to mete out the measure of our wretched- ness. War IS our only alternative WAR IN DEFENCE OF OUR RIGHTS MUST BE OUR MOTTO.
 Volunteers are invited to our standard; liberal bounties of land will be given to all who will join our ranks with good rife and one hundred rounds of ammunition. The troops of this department will forthwith organize under the direction of the com. mittees of vigilance and safety, into com panies of fifty men each, who will select their officers; and when organized, they will forthwith repair to the headquarters of the army, unless special orders arc giy. en for their destination.
 The morning of glory is dawning upon us. The work of liberty is begun! Our actions are to become q part of the history of mankind patriotic millions will sympa- thze in our struggles, while nations will admire our achieyements.
 We must be united subordinate to the laws and authorities, which we avow, and 1 freedom will net withhold the seal Of her appreciation. Rally round the standard of the constitution, intrench your rights with manly resolution, and defend them with be- roic frmness. Let your valor proclaim to the world that LIBERTY IS your birth- right. We cannot be conquered by all the I arts of anarchy and despotism combined. | In Heaven, and vaorous hearts, we re- pose our confidence
 Our only ambition is the attainment of RATIONAL LIBERTY-the freedom of reli- gious opinion, and just laws To acquire these blessings, we solemny pledge our per- sons, our property, and our lives.
 Union and courage can achieve every thing, while reason, combined with intelli- gence, can regulate all things necessary to human happiness. SAM. HOUSTON,
 General n Chief of Department. From tae Alerandria {La) Intelhgencer, Oct. 2s.
 The steam boat Ouachita arrived at this place yesterday, from New-Orleans, having on board company of sixty volunteers, on their way to Texas. One other company embarked on board of vessel, few days since, for Brazorie. Two more companies l are expected from New Orleans, in the course of few days, for Texas, 10 assist the citizens of that country in their strug, 1 gle for liberty. God send them speed.

It will be seen, by letters published in our paper of today, that the people of Texas have embarked in the struggle for liberty in good earnest. Captain English, who wrote from Nacogdoches, on the l6th inst, is gentleman ol veracity, on whom we may safely rely for correct information in relation 10 the affairs of that country.

 MR. EDIToR-l inclosc you proclama- ton, b be published, from eessca. Samuel Houston, which the committee of vigilance and safety desired to be published in your first paper, and then keep the iocloscd copy to send to Gen. Samuel Swartwout, of New York. You will find, by the incosed documents, that war in this country is what the result will he lve can only conjecture; but one opinion prevails here-=that IS, a sanguine hope of success and the people now are firmly united, and fully determined to defend the constitution of '24 and the laws guarantied to settlers In the country. The Indians, so far, pro. fess every degree of friendship to the peo. pie of Texas. There are upwards of 200 mounted riff men gone from this and Au. gustin, on Monday last, and about 100 more leave ea Sunday, from the same place. An express came in with circular from Gonzales, giving an. account of an engage ment in which the people were successful. The people of this place and Santiago confidently hope for friendship from their friends in the United States. All business here is stopped, the land-ohice closed, and one general will among the people-hberty or death. Yours, respectfully,
 VIM. K ENGLISH.

 CoMMfrTEE-RooM, ST. FELIPE DE AUSTIN;
 October 8, 1885. 12 o'clock at night The committee of safety for the Jursdic- ton of Austin, in conjunction with other committees in different arts of the country, say to their fellow citizens, that the time has now arrived when 1t behooves. every friend to his country to be up and doing. Intelligence of the most interesting and im portant character has just reached this com mttee from the camp of our countrymen. Colonel Ugartechea is on his march from Bexar, with 300 men, to overrun our country. They come to make US yield all unconditional and slavish submission to i military usurpation. They come to fasten down upon our necks the yoke, and to rivet upon our hands the manacles of military servitude. Gonzales Is doomed to the sword and the flame. Colorado will next be the theatre of blood and rapine- then the Brazos-till every spot of our rich and fertile country shall present to the eye but one wide scene of devastation, and we, the rightlul proprietors, be driven from the soil which we have reclaimed, by our tolls and sufferings, from savage wilderness, and which we have made valuable by our labor and hardy enterprise. Shall we give uP, without struggle, the fruits of so many years of danger, difficulty, and un- paraIleled suffering? Shall we surrender our country ai1d our homes to military usurpation Are we willing to forego all the advantages held out 10 us as the reeom- pense of the most daring enterprise Gan we let a military despot reap the harvest after we have sown the seeds The com. mittee are ready to answer for their coun- trymen; and they answer by calling upon them to come, and come quickly, to the as. sistance of their friends, their neighbors, and their brothers, three hundred of whom are already in the field. Col. Austin IS with them. These have to contend with the whole of the Mexican army; but they will contend bravely they will dispute every inch of ground with their invaders, until the expected aid shall arrive.
