TIE CONVENTION.

Antimasonic State Convention meets at
this place tomorrow; and if the antima-
SONS throughout the state duly appreciate
the Importance fthe present crisis, there
can be no doubt of a full representation of
the original and tried friends of the cause,
who enlisted for its own sake, when no
consideration, but a sense of duty, urged
them to take the field. 1t is not our perog-
alive TO direct the deliberations ofthat body.
The press should insist upon steadfas and
immutable adherence to the principles,
which have from the first been recognised
as vital to our cause, and essential to the
maintenance of republican liberty. We
shall 60 into the convention with the hope
of meeting those and those only, who are
willing to live and die in the advocacy of
the cardinal doctrines hsid and promulgu.
ted by the Antimasons Of Vermont for the
last seven years. We embraced these doc
trnes at the price of popular scorn and con-
tumely; and so did thousands of our fellow
citizens. Time has proved their efiicacious
and sautary influence. The occasion for
their practical application has not passed,
nor will it have passed, till there shall be
| found none to overstep the bounds Of the
constitution and the restraints of law. The
principle of antimasonry is one of fidelity
to law and order. 1t is at once the element
the cement, the guaranty and the only
earthly hope of civil liberty. Without it,
the glory and boast of our free institutions
would be as an earthly bubble, mockery.
If there be any, who scruple to adopt and
particularly to abide by the long-cherished
but comprehensive motto of antimasonry
"THE SUPREMACY OF THE LAWS"
if there be those who will not forever
trown upon every attempt, secret or open,
by individuals or clans, by people or by
Presidents, to abrdge the rights and inmu
mites of the humblest citizen, they have
yet to learn the first lesson of Antimasory.
They cannot breathe in an antimasonic
>, Convention. They belong TO the party of
mobs and gentlemen-law breakers. They
are wolves among men, proving upon the
rights Of society. Let such stay in t.eir
dens, till they become tame. But let the
true hearted friends of antimasonry come
together in the exercise of a traternal
spirit, willing to make any compromise
which the united wisdom of the whole
may suggest, as essential to the success of
our cause, but determined to resist any
improper intermeddlng of opponents, of
whatever party, or profession, and equally
resolved to remain steadfast and immova-
ble on the platform of REPUBLICAN
| ANTIMASONRY.

 Lafest Iateligence--.9noiher Baifle-We have been favored with the perusa of letter dated Fort Gilland, Sept. 1Sth 1886; containing the substance of report 10 the Commander-in- Chief, of battle with the Indians, fought near Newmansyile on the l0th inst.
 On Saturday evening, the l7h, the Indians canle within mile of that Fort, captured cart, and fired on three whites and two negroes. As was too late and rainy to make successful attack that night spies were sent 10 discover the position of the Indians They were posted in the neghhorhood of San FeIas- sed Hammock. Sunday morning Col Warren mar ched out to give battle, with 100 mounted men, being detachments from Captains Walkers Wards and Gar rIsons companies, with 25 gentleman under Captain Beckham, Who their time of service having expired volunteered for this special service, and Capt D. D. lompkins, s Regt s. artillery, with 24 pound how ltzer, and 70 ot hs men. The advance was in three eolunns-the right under Col. Warren, the left under u. Col Mills, and the centre under Capt Tompkins Whom within three fourths of mile Of the hammock they met the Indians, and the battle commenced along the right wing and centre
 The Indians tried 10 turn the left flank, but were charged with spirit by that wing, and driven into thick oak scrub thence into the border of fIe ham, mock, where the artillery played on them with consi- derable effect
 They attempted to turn the right flank but were driv- en oil by that wing and into range again of the ae- y which opened upon them with great effect The Indians made desperate attempts to maintain their po- slton. They charged heice on the artillery. They were beaten off al all points, and driven mile and a half into dense hammock where they could not be pursued with advantage. The action lasted enc heui and haf-one hour of which time the fire was heavy on the whole line. Their force was estimated at 300 men.

Our ndefatigable ranger Capt. Byrd Lockhart has returned 10 camp, and reports the in the neghbohood of Bexar to be remarka- bly, fine and abundant, and that several thousand bush els will be the result
 THE CRops.-We are informed by a gentleman from the eastern department of Texas, that the crops in that part of the country will exceed this year those Of any one previous. The season throughout Texas has been uncommony favorable, and could the citizens have cultivated their lands, the crops in all parts would have been abundant Even the lands the river San Antonio, which generally suffer most from drought would this year have produced abundanty without ir ngation. On the Brassos and Colorado, the plan ted after the battle of San Jacino, will probably pro- duce suffieiency for the consumption oi the nhab- tants.
