 We entirely dissent from the opinion ex- pressed by some of our contemporaries, that t is the duty of the federal government to interfere and prevent citizens from joining their brethern, and defending their rights in Texas. The government has no control over the movements Of citizens, beyond the jurisdiction of the United States; and the right of every citizen to cross the line into any country. and go where he pleases, has not, nor cannot be disputed. In country where all the sovereignty rests with the people, the hitherto undisputed persoua' rights they possess, cannot, by change Of circumstances, be now impugned. What are the facts of the case An Emense number of our citizens have been invited 10 purchase lands and become settlers in Texas, under the protection of the Mexican government. Finding that their numbers and their principles, were alarming to tbe despotc rule now attempted to be exercis- ed by Santa Anna, he resolves to send an army either to banish or kill them. They, as our revolutionary fathers did, fly to arms, to protect their own rights, and they appeal to their fellow citizens in the United States fo come to their aid, as our sires appealed to the French to come with arms 10 assist them. The Texonians de not mediate conquerlng the country, or invading MeSf' co; they ask assistance from Americans not the government, to protect their homes and hresides, and some of our journals call upon the federal government to inIeI- fere, and prevent them from going to the assistance of their brethren, exposed 10 danger Tn foreign country. It is true that being at peace with Mexico, though without treaty of alliance, offensive ana defensive, the government might interfere 10 prevent any armament being fitted ouim the United States, against the Mexican ah thorlty Tn Texas but citizen, on his own responsibility. and with his own meaaa has right to go to Texas, and if he pleasss' right 10 defend the soil from invasion.
 It IS, to say the least, very ungracloe@s act to interfere and expose our fellow eM zens, Tn Texas, to invasion and destrucnoA even II they should contemplate the eslav ilsnment of an independent government. E II the cruelty and despotism of the Mexlcaa rulers should drive them to the alterna". of declaring themselves independent, llo0.' not become US, with the example of om's E voutlon before us, 10 take sides agar them. The despotic rule now in MeASa evidently proves that monarchy, or soss th'ng stronger, IS to be substituted for a aev' ., ernment of laws. 1.-the people n ssI ssI are unwilling to submit to this changes sD'N we place their necks in the yoke { d..

TeTas.- Our friends, the IeXearis. dTo progressing manfully in the work of Revo- lution, as will be seen by the San Antonio despatch published in another column. An engagement took place near San Antonio on the 2Sth ut. between the patriots. so in number, under the orders of Col. James Bowie, and 400 regulars, commanded by Ugarteche, which terminated In the defeat ef the latter with the loss of 40 men. We refer our readers to the Exsress from San Antonio, published in this days paper. for the particulars of the battle. Sangune hopes are entertained the speedy and suc- eessful termination of the present contest. The General Consultation was to meet on the first instant, and, by private advice, we learn that their first step would probably be Ia declaration of independence. Such a course, in our opinion, IS decidedly advsa- ble. Texas IS certainly, from it's extent and fertility of soil, able to maintain itself as an independent nation. Disnlembered from the Mexican Republic, and freed from the influence of the numberless antagonist prln- ciples by which the government of that dis tracted country is operated upon, the march of improvement and civilization, within its limits, would be accelerated an hundred fold. It's soil is fertile beyond parallel, and its climate the most genial and delightful in the world. It's internal resources, Hnderthe au- spices of a free government, will be rapid ly developed, and will present so inviting an aspect to emigrants, that it's public lands would soon become peoped with prosper ous aradd happy population Sc long as if continues in Its present state of dependence upon government. notorlously one of the most tickle and unsettled on this continent, it cannot hope to thrive. These remarks, are, however, unnecessary. The public feeling in Texas is almost unanimous for in- dependence, and the day. we are certain, is not far distant, when the national banner of Texas will be unfurled amid the enthlsias- tic shouts of it's approving citizens.
 There IS one part of the despatch with respect to which we beg leave to undeceiye the Committee of San Augustin. Ii states that "Mr. Mitchell, of Natchitoches, Lou lsana, has this moment arrived in this place, and informs us that there had arrived at that place Nate hfochesl 6ol yell mounted men, armed and equipped. from the state of Tennessee, on their march to Texas" &c. This information is erroneous. No such body of men has arrived here, and none such has ever been expected. We have no doubt, however, that as soon as the in- telligence of The war in Texas shall have been disseminated through this country, they will receive such a number of volun- teers as will soon place their invaders at their mercy.

An Extract ofa letter from Member of the
 Convention to Colonel John Forbes, of
 this place, (Nacogdoches, Texas
 An express arrived here last night from Camp with the important news, that our army, under the command of Gen. Austin, gained victory over the enemy, one mile and half from San Antonio, in which our loss was one man wounded only, the enemy lost 50 wounded, and Is men left dead on the field of battle. and information from the town says "A died of their wounds, making 40 of the enemy killed in all, and one 6 pounder, and number of small arms. & G. taken; our army remaining complete ,ic- tors of the field. Our troops were 80 men under the command of Colonel James Bowie, our brave townsman, who had taken possession of the post, the Mission of Con- eeptIon, l2 hours before the fight The ene- my by means of spies, had an accurate ae- count of their numbers, and sent 400 of theIr choice troops and two SIX pounders, commanded by Col. Ugartechea to take them.
 The Nacogdoches troops, under Capt. Rusk, and the San Auqustin under Cant

THE CoTToN CRoPs.-During our absence we have had an opportunity of learning some thing with regard to the probable result of this years crop. In Arkansas about half a crop will be raised.
