An order was received yesterday, VIC
understand, at the U. S. Quarter Masters
Office, III thus city, for the immediate trans
Portation Of 3 Regiments and 6 companies
OF artillery from the Florida service TO
Camp Sabine on the Sabine river. We can
not divine what may be the object Of this
sudden movement, unless il be in some
way connected with our difficulties with
the Mexican Republic. Perhaps the Hon.
Secretary Of War may have no other mo.
tive IN sending the troops TO Camp Sabine
than 10 prevent the rapid desertion from
some OF the Southern States which is said
TO be IN progress. We were credibly in
formed, few days since, by gentleman
direct from Natchitoches, there we're near
1000 ons,-one.h half slayes-camped in
that vicinity, who were on their way 10
Texas. Many planters, it is reported have
left their FARMS with crop newly planted
aud started for Texas with their negroes.
They had been deceived by the treachery
OF the times into large purchases Of lands,
and, now that the bubble has burst, and
they can no longer enjoy their imaginary
wealth or the means OF paving their debts,
are fleeing to Texas with their negroes, as
the only means OF saving any thing from
the general ruin. What commentary
does this present upon this glorious attempt
10 provide the country with safe, unchang.
ing hard money currency.-NeU OrieQaS

it might be far worse with man who has,
thus far, plenty of corn cake every day in
