FROM NAcosDocHEs.-The pubic has
learned scarcely any thing from General
Gaines head quarters since his letter Of
the 10th of July, announcing his intention
to march part of his army to Nacogdo
ches; and from that post itself we have
not, until now, heard a word. This long
silence had indeed, begun to create doubts
in the minds of some people whether Gen.
Gaines had, in fact, compromised the neu
trail obligations of his country, by mill
tary movement, into the Mexican terrific
ry, but the annexed extract from letter
received yesterday by one of our citizens,
from an officer at Nacogdoches, settles the
question, and shows that detachment of
our army is in actual occupation OF the
Mexican town.
Extract of letter from an officer of the
U. S. Army, dated
Camp Nacogdoches, Aug. 4, 1886.
"Since l last addressed you from Fort
Towson, have performed another march
of near two hundred miles, and now, on
small hill, which terminates, or rather on
which Nacogdoches partly stands. our
encampment is spread. We were two
weeks accomplishing the march, which
was trul fatiguing. Part of the country
over which we passed had never been trav-
eled before, except by men on horseback g:
and as we were encountered with OK teams
road had necessarily to be cut as we ad
vanced. which caused great delay even
when no river was to be crossed, and the
trouble incident to building bridges and
RATS did not occur to detain US. We
reached this place about a week ago, and
the firing Of small piece of artillery on
our approach told of favorable reception.
The inhabitants are eNremel y polite and
obliging, but many Of them have left the
town in consequence of the hostile attitude
of the neighboring Indians, who are said
TO be so numerous that some do not con
slider the town safe now, Notwithstanding
the presence Of the U. S. troops.
Yesterday evening the roaring Of artil-
lery and the sound of martial music an
nounced the arrival Of Gen, Houston and
staff. He seems 10 havesufered in health
and the wound he received at the battle
OF San Jacinto confines him still to his
crutches. -. d,

DEATH OF Cor. BURR.-The celebra-
ted Aaron Burr, died lately at Staten Is
land aged 81, He was grandson of the
Justly celebrated Presiden: Edwards, and
son Of President Burr, both of New Jersey
College With the talents Of his ances-
tors. he inherited not their virtues. He
was at one time Vice President of the
United States, and afterwards candidate
for Governor OF New York. Alexander
Hamilton at that time, opposed his eleva-
ton, and denounced him as dangerous
and ambitious man. Burr challenged him
to duel. Hamilton accepted it, and fell.
This was in 1904 Soon after, he was
found plodding union Of the Southern
States with Mezieo, at this time province
OF Spain. He threatened to "divide the
Union, and turn Congress neck and heels
into the Potomac" He found many in
fuential adherents in the southwestern
slave States, toAo tranted MEXICO then as
much as they do nOso The conspiracy
was deep and dangerous one. Burr,
and his adherents, composed the fist OF
the "Te1ian patriots" and narrow " es-
capped the halter under the administration
of Thomas Jefferson. in 1907. Burr was
arraigued and tried for high treason. One
of the principal witnesses against him was
Gen. VIM. Eaton, Of Massachusetts, to
whom, on his return from Tripoli, (disat-
fected with the existing administration
Burr had made application for aid, and
disclosed his whole plan. Eaton mag
unanimously and honestly communicated
to the Executive the fact, and was thus in
Strumental in procuring his arrest. The
evidence produced against him convinced
the nation, and all Europe of his guilt
And yet, through some Of the mysterious
influences that were employed, "the SET
lied policy of the South " prevailed, and
Burr was cleared The condemnation
of Burr would have been the condemna-
ton of scores of her patriotic sons, whose
invaluable services would have been lost
to the country! Alas! the blank that
would have been created in the nation 5
archieves if "gentlemen Of property and
standing" could have been punished for
their crimes! Burr crossed the Atlantis
and at almost every camp and cabinet
in Europe-though one of the most &C,

age-he sought admission in vain. Al
