The New Orleans Advertiser remarks:
81 II be true that Gen. Gaines has crossed tho
Sabine and taken position at Nacogdoches, il NAV
not he forbidden to surmisc that he has secret or
ders from head quarters. We were not aware Of
any movement of the Cumanches within IA week mr.

junctnrc. II the appearance of the American ar
my the distant border of the scene of action be-
tween the Mexican and Texan forces should have
an evil influence on the Mexicans, dishcartcniur
and tlwarting them in the approaching campaign
and giving the aid of our countenance to the Tex
ians, we shall surely not escape the ccnsure of all
men who Judge of nations by other codes than tho

The Red River Gazette is equally decided in its
tone. Indeed We cannot doubt that Gem Gaines
will be condemned, unless &C makes ont a much
better case than he has yet done, by the unani-
nous voice of the American people, except such
as deeply interested in land specularions in
TcxaS,-a We hope that the administration will
give salutary tone to that portion of the public.
which stand ready to Justify to condemn, &C
cording as ii approves or disapplovcs, by recalling.
him from the command of the army.
