items of intelligence, purporting to come
from Texas, few, and but very few,
may be relied upon: The army has been
dis6anded until September, by order ofthe
president. 1t was wise in the president
to give such an order, for the army would
soon have disbanded itself without waiting
for the sanction of the government. The
Texan Congress adjourneo about the be-
ginning of June, without doing anything
extraordinary. Sam Houston has be-
come extremely unpopular with every
BODY, and his speedy dawnfaIl is expected
with certainty. The disorganization of
the army will create beautiful scene Of
havoc in the settled parts of the country.
The farmers and planters will have sor-
~ time of it. A Mexican invasion could
not be much worse. All government and
law in Texas may now be considered vir-
tually at an end.
