TEXAS.

The Louisville (Ky) City Gazette, of Aug.
18th, (says the N. Y. Times) has the following
direct intelligence from the scat of war in Texas
Late from Teras.-G. +. Lawrence,
who emigrated to Texas, q Lieutenant in
Captain Aliens company from Cincinnati,
and has since been commissioned captain
in the regular Texian service, who left Ve-
lasco on the 10Th and Galveston on the
25th July, had just informed us that no adj
vance had been made by the Mexicans,
nor was any anticipated, until late in the
season, perhaps December. The Mexi-
cans were about 5000 strong at Matamo.
ras, and about 1000 on the Nueces. The
Texian forces were posted at Victoria
The army was in fine health and spirits,
and well supplied with all requisite provis-
ions, and munitions of war. Numbers
were continually focking to the standard of
freedom. The Texans had made an abun-
dant crop of corn, the only crop cultivated
this season and were crowding round the
banner of their country. 1t is thought
when the army is full, and Houston has re.
sumed the command, which has probably
been before this, an attack by land sustain
ed by the navy, will be made upon Mata-
moras. No discomfort exists in regard to
Houston nor will any dispute the com.
mand.
Capt. Lawrence informs us that General
Gaines has not crossed the Sabine, nor &C.
cupied Nacogdoches. From the tone OF
the Presidents letter on that subject 10 His
Excelleny "Mr. Morehead," which we pub
lish today, Gen. Gaines will not cross the
Sabine.
Tho Louisville Advertiser of the 1lth says, the
arrival of the schr. Fanny Butler, from Calves
ton, brings a contradiction of the reported cap
ture of a rich prize by the Texan armed schooner
Brutus. Thu same paper adds -
1t appears that all the Mexican officers
%(prisoners) at Galveston, were about to be
removed on the Trinity the p~rivates to re-
main at Galveston. General Cos is re-
ported to have become quite a favorite with
TIE army and people, being treated in the
most courteous manner by both. He states,
in palliation of former conduct, that he was
intent on keeping his promise inviolate, as
far as pledged; but the Texans, instead OF
guarding the Constitution of IA, and bat
ting for its privileges, declared an entire
independence. The palliative seems TO have
its effect, Judging from the above. They
also give him credit for humanity, in saving
the lives of many, previous to the capture
of Santa Anna.
The New Orleans Bee, alluding to the
silence of the Matamoras Mercury of the
Doth July, on the affairs of Mexico, deduces
corroborative evidence, from this fact, thai
the revolution there is progressing.

Eccentric Hospitality.-During the late
American war, a soldier who had been
wounded and honorably discharged, (but
perhaps not paid) being destitute and be-
nighted, knocked at the door of an Irish
farmer, when the following dialogue en-
sued:
Patrick. And who are you, now?
Soldier. My name is John Wilson.
Pat. And where are you going from,
John Wilson!
Sold. From the American army at Erie,
sir.
Pat. And what do you want herel
Sold. l want shelter tonight, will you
permit me to spread my blanket on your
floor, and sleep tonight.
Pat. d. take me if do John Wilson
that's fiat.
Sold. On the kitchen floor, sir.
Pat. Not /, by the hill o. How.h-that's
flat.
Sold. In your stable, then.
Pat. l will not do that either-that's
fiat.
Sold. l am dying with hunger-give
me but a bone and crust I: | ask no more.
Pat. | will not-that's flat.
Sold. Give me some water to quench
my thirst, l beg of you.
Pat. Beg and be hanged, III do no such
thing-that's flat.
Sold. Sir | have been fighting to secure
the blessings you enjoy; have contributed
to the glory and welfare of the country
which has so Hospitality received you, and
can you SO inhospitably reject me from your
house?
Pat. Reject you! Who talked a word
about rejecting you! May be | am not the
scurvy spalpeen you take me to be, John
Wilson. You asked me to let you lie on
my floor, my kitchen floor, or in my stable;
now by the powers do you think I'd let a
perfect stranger do that when | have a doz-
en- soft feather beds all empty? No, by the
hill O. Howth, John-that's fiat. In the Sec
ond place, you were dying with hunger,
and wanted a bone and a crust to eat.
Now, honey, do you think I'd feed a hum
cry man with bones and crust, when my
yard is filled with fat pullets, turkeys, and
pigs! No, by the powers, not I-that's flat.
In the third place, you asked me for some
simple water to quench your thirst. Now,
as my water is none of the best, / never
give it to a poor traveller without mixing
it with plenty of wine, brandy, whiskey, or
something else wholesome and cooling.
Come into the house my honey, you shall
have the best supper and breakfast that my
farm can supply; which, thank the Lord, is
none of the worst you shall drink as much
water as you please, provided you mix it
with plenty Of wine or spirits, and provided
you prefer it. Come in, my honey, come
in, and feel yourself at home. 1t shall me-
yer be said, that Patrick O'Flagherty treat
ed a man scurvily who has been fighting
for the dear country which gave him pro-
tection-that's flat.

From the N. Y. Times.

A story is going the round of the papers which
prctends to be an account of a personal ~rccontre
between Governor Mason, of Michigan, and Gen.
Boynton, of Ohio. The Dstroit Daily Advertiser
gives it the following flat contradiction
"The account of q rencontre between General
Boynton, of Ohio, and Gov. Mason, of this state,
which is now going tho rounds of the papers, is
an utter fabrication. We know not from whom
it originated, but suppose from some land stealing
man in Ohio. Ho may content himself for the
present, having palmed off a pretty round lie mp
on the community. Certain it is that the story
is false, bosoly SO, such an uffray never having &C.
CURED in Detroit. Although we arc not and
never have been supporters of Governor Mason,
still il is due to him to say, and we do it with a
great deal of pleasure, that the story to which we
have above referred, would lily comport with the
character Of Gov. Mason, as developed since his
election to the executive chair. We believe him
a gentleman in every sense Of the word, and the
above be to beneath his dignity as a man, to say
nothing of his rank"
Since the above was in type, tho following let
ter from Governor Mason himself has come to
hand. II was addressed to the editor of the Port
land Advertiser, who says, "as an act of justice
OF Gov. Mason, we publish his letter, and will
add thatthe extract which we published was taken
from a letter from Gen. Boynton, of Amherst,
Ohio, to a friend of his, residing in this city
That is, the alleged antagonist of Gov. Mason is
the author himself of the fllse report"
DETROIT, Aug. III, 1896.
Sir--I nave seen published in the " Baltimore
Chronicle" the "~extracto of a letter from Ohio"
pretending to give an account of a rencontre (Which
if true would be disgraceful to a gentleman) be-
tween General Boynton Of Ohio and myself, in
the streets of Detroit. l need not say to you l
trust, that this alleged affair, as stated by your let
ter writer, is a base fabrication and an imposi-
ton upon your ~crodulity us the conductor of a pub
bile journal, and merits the severest reprobation.
No such occurrence has ever taken place, neither
have l the honor of having ever before heard the
name of " Gen. Boynton Of Ohio" would not,
under ordinary circumstances, attach importance
to a publication of this character but as there
are personal considerations connected with this,
/ have to request, if consistent with your obliga-
tions as an editor, the name of your Ohio cores
20 ndent. You have the assurance that nothing
offensive is intended in the tone of this letter, and
that your early answer will oblige, very respect
fully,
Your obedient servant,
