Respect 10 the ladies In late COM
munication in one of the city papers, we
found the following true sentiment: 81
have observed that men who are really
most fond Of the society Of ladies', who
cherish for them a sincere respect, nav
reverence, are seldom the most popular
with the sex.-Men of more assurance
whose tongues are lightly hung, who
make words supply the place of ideas
and place compliments in the room Of
sentiment are the favoriles. A true re-
spect Tor women leads to respectful action
toward them, and respectful is usually
distant action, and this great distance Is
mistaken by them for neglect and want
of interest,"
OF the truth ofthe above no one who
minsles in society is ignorant-and we
must confess that we have never so Eel,
our respect for the female sex 10 dimin.
ish, as when we have seen them wasting
their smiles and attention upon the IN
worthy Boston Galazy.

The other day s ! bill of the Sandusky

And all thy promises are hollow
Begone fear that thou art breaking,
Thou ill-condiIioned, ragged elf.

And now SO clear thy self!'
We apprehend The latter Injunction wa!
superhuous. Such ghosts are easier laid thar

LATEST FROM TEXAS.
NEW ORLEANS. Much q IS31

\
The. schooner Byron, which arrived
from Brazoria. brought US a file of tn,
Texas Telegraph 10 the 2ist ult. Al
! express direct from San Antonio ba,
brought intelligence that Bravo had LEFT
the command Of the Mexican urmy, ant
returned TO Mexico leaving General Am.
ada at hfetamoras with force OF four OF
five thousand men. The latter had !,
IN contemplation to despatch six or eight
hundred mouated men TO seize upon San
Antonio and Go!iad, knowing that the
latter place was unoccupied, and the for
mer only garrisoned by small force.
Alter the occupation, commissioners
were to be sent forward to the Govern
ment of Texas, TO treat for peace and in>
dependence.
The editors Of the Telegraph, in COM
menting upon this information, remark,
that, chow far this may be true, time a.
lone can determine. 1tmay be an arts
ice OF the enemy, for purposes which it
is not easy TO comprehend. We would
however, advise the citizen. to put their
guns in shooting order. and in every way
equip themselves for service, in the e.
vent of being called to the field. But
at the same time we caution them not to
be moved by idle reports, which too
frequently obtain credit.
"We are fully persuaded that the Elk.
ecutive and Secretary of War are on the
alert, and will give the earliest informa-
ton ofthe approach of the enemy"

being IN an excellent condition. Order,
harmony, and discipline prevailed a
mong the soldiers, who are greatly elat-
ed at the prospect of speedy encounter
with the enemy.
The Telegraph complains considerably
of the frauds practised in the United
States, both under the pretence of raising
money for the Texian Government, and
III the sale ofland claims, which have no
real foundation. The friends Of Texas
are advised not to intrust their donations
to any but persons who are satisfactorily
known as the authorized agents OF the
Government. since many dishonest men
are passing themselves upon the good
citizens Of the United States as agents of
Texas, have ask ed and received valuable
contributions of money, clothes, &c,
which were not handed over, but used
for individual advantage.
OF the other species OF imposition, the
editors say Land claims and grants of
land are sold without the foundation of
titles. and which the purchaser would
see, II he were acquainted with the laws
| of colonization.

that he is ready to procure an order for
the admission ofsuch gentlemen OF cha
