The unanimous declaration of indcpen-

at the town Of Washington, Oh the ID OF
March, 1896.

arc derived, and for the advancement Of
whose hroyness it was instituted, and SO
far from icing guarantee for the ENJOY

bic rigLEs, becomes an instrument i'll the
hands Of evil rulers for thei: oppression !;
when the federal constitution Of their
country, which they lave sworn 10 support,
no longer has substantial existence, and
the whole nature of their government has
been iorcihIy changed, without thcir con
sent, from restricted fedcralvc republic,
composed Of sovereign states, to IL cousoil-
dated central military despoti~n, in which
every interest is diaregardcd, but that Of The
army and the priesthood the eternal
enemies of civil liberty, the ever-rcady
mnions ofpOwcr, and the usual instruments
ottyrants. When long after the spirit OF
the constitution has departed, moderation,
at length, is so far lost by those in power,
that even the scmblunce of freedom Is re-
moved, and the tram rs themselves, of the
constitution, discontinued, and 50 far from
their petitions and renonstrances being
regarded, the agents who bear them are
thrown into dung"ons-and merccnary ar
mics sen. forth, 10 force new government
upon thc.u at the point Of the bayonet.--
When, in consequence OF such acts oil
ma ltasauce and abdication, on tlie part OF
the government, monarchy prevails, and
ciyil society is dissolved into It's original el-
MeHts la such crisis, the first law OF
mature, the right of MISREPRESENTATION, the

to appeal to first principles, aud to take

wards themselves, and Il sacred obligation
10 their posteriy, to abolish such govern
meut, and 10 create another in lis steaC
calculated to rescue them from impending
dangers, aud to secure their future welfare
and happiness.

Reiniorcements are on their march to unite
with the bcsiegng army. BY the last re-
port our force in Beiar, was ouly one hun

Texas must rally to the aid of the army, or
it will perish. Let the citizens of the east
march to tho combat. The enemy must
be driven from our soil, on dcsolation will
accompany their march upon us.
INDEPENDENCE Is DECLARED !

week as u scouting puGy-thlt after pro-
cecding several miles the detachment fell
III with party of Indians, who fired upon
them, and killed, it is said, two or three OF
our men. The fire was returned by the
detachment, by which Indians were kill
led; that the commanding officer Of the
detachment, deeming the Indians too strong,
ordered retreat. In the absence of Ger
tam information we give the report us re-
celvcd, and regret much that we are de-
prlved of any means Of obtaining mforna-
ton which can be implicitly relied upon,
the Jacksonville Courier, to which paper
we generally look for information, not
having been issued when the Florida left ON
Wednesday last.
The steamboat Santoe, was, we under
stand, also fired upon last week by Indians
between Nolusia and Picolata; hut no
damage was sustained
We also learn that General Scot, with
about two thousand men had proceeded on
Saturday last from Fort Drane for the
OuthlacooGhe, where, if he met the Ind-
ans, Il severe battle, which may probably
terminate the war, would cnsue. If not
found there, it was the intention of the
gallant General TO proceed with his forces
into the nation. His march is therefore full
Of interest and we must be satisfied To re-
main in painful anxiety for our patriotic
army, until we can ascertain the result OF
their inanoCuvrcs.

A MUSICAL DoG.-Therc are many en-
traordinary anecdotes of the capabilities
and qualities Of this noble animal. but none
that we have met draw more largely upon
our credulity than the following from the
Boston Evening Journal, of Thursday last.
The feats here spoken of were performed
the week previous.
This dog has been taught BY lis master
n variety of amusing tricks. Among 9TH
ers, he will at his masters bidding. select
from pile Of various articles, and bring
and deposi,e ut his masters feet, any one
which he is told, thus proving that he has
more general knowledge of human lam
gunge than is usually enjoyed by bru,es.
He will also d,nce to music, aud perform
with grace. either a waltz or solo, accord
ing to request if the former, he will seize
his tail in his mouth, and perform various
evolutions until the music ceases. liza solo
is requested, he " i'll rear himself upon his
hind legs and perform the double shuttle.
The latest trick taugh, this animal, is To sit
upright mud produce a harmony upon u
harp by drawing one of his fore paws across
the strings. The dog proved more irnc,-
nbIe scholar in learning this, than in either
Of the other accomplishments. One after
noon, last week, the master, while on the
point Of entering his room, was astonished
at hearing the sound ofthe harp. He .,ad
the curiosity before opening the door, to
look through the keyhole, and enjesvor to
sscertain who was practising upon his harp.
There, to- his great astonishment, sat Fido,
amusing himself Ivy rehsarsins his ,norniny 2
sess"n upon the instrument. Several peo-
pie were immediately called. mud saw the
dog, sitting in the position in which bs had
been taught, and performing Cor nearly ten
usiuuiss npon the hsrp!
