TEXAs.---The Massillon Gazette, whose ed
itor, Mr.. Allen, has been an officer in Texas,
and is no doubt qualified to speak understand
ngly of that young republic, has the following
paragraph:
Amongstthe thousand manufactured items of
intelligence, purporting to come from Texas,
a few, and but few, may be relied upon. The
army has been disbanded until September, by
order of the President. 1t was wise in the
President to give such an order, for the army
would soon have been disbanded itself with
out waiting for the sanction of the government.
The Texian Congress djourned about the be-
ginnig of June, without doing any thing extra
ordinary. Sam Houston has become extreme
ly unpopular with every body, and his speedy
downfall is expected with certainty. The dis
organization of the army will create beauti-
ful scene of havoc in the settled parts Of the
country. The Farmers and planter will have
! sorry time of it. A Mexican invasion could
not be much worse. All government and law.
in Texas, may now be considered virtually at
an end.
The sMadisonian'' is the title Of newspa-
per about to be published at Washington. 1t is
said it will be wing paper under the guise
of democracy, more easily to deceive the peo-
pie. We do not know how true this is, but
we do know there are already too many papers
of that character---mere pirates-.-backed by
clans Of unprincipled knayes, who will fight
against or in favor of any body or any thing,
where there is a prospect of obtaining spoils.
As often as otherwise, those papers are circu-
lated gratuitously if customers cannot be got
for them. And nothing more certainly than
this indicates knavery, for however contradic-
tory it may seem, newspapers are rarely CIV
en- away s.for nothing"
n LADIES' CELEBRATION OF THE FouRTH.-The
ladies of Barre, hourshing town in Massachsu-
sets, spent part of the 4th of July in national
tea-drinking- ladies of the town. says the
Barre Gazette, ssto the number Of about 920-old
and young, married and single, without distinc
ltion of iparty,' celebrated independence on Tues
day afternoon last, under power upon the com
mon. An appropriate entertainment was provi
ded by Mr.. WheelocK, suited to the fastidious tas
ties of tho sfair creatures, and we are right ga'
to learn, that they conducted with great proprety
and had very socia!, happy time not wi'fstan
ding not the smallest part Of their joty resulte'
from the sef-sntsfaction of having sarcasticall>
