LATE FROM TEXAS.

The steam packet New York, Capt.
Wright, arrived yesterday morning, the
9th ult., from Galveston, bringing dates
from that city up to Saturday last. To the
polteness Of the officers we are indebted
for full files of Texas papers.
The French frigate Sabine, Cosmao du
Manor, commander, arrived at Galveston
u, Friday last from Pensacola.
Col. John s. Evans a well known citizen
Of Texas. died al Gai,"aston on the 22d inst,
and was buried with military honors.
Business appears to be brisk at Houston
The Telegraph of the 2Ist inst. SAYS
Our streets are crowded with country wa
CONS, carrying the merchandise concentra-
ted here, to the most distant parts of the
Republic
A line Of stages has been established be-
tween Houston and Austin by Messrs Smith
Il Jones, which will be of great convent
ence to those visiting the seat of Govern
ment.
Geo. II. Flood, Esq, our Charge dAE
flares of Texas, has entirely recovered his
health.
Not one of the papers received by US,
makes any mention of the rumored inva-
sion by the Mexicans. Every thing was
quiet on the frontier.
The news of the negotiation of the Tex
an loan in Paris created no little excitement
at Galveston and Houston. Many of the
merchants and others were offering to take
the Treasury notes at for l. But little
doubt appears to exist that the money will
ultimately be good.
The expedition to Santa Fe is expected
to leave about the goth of May The Tex
ans think they will be able to divert much
of the Santa Fe trade to the new Repub-
lie, as the distance is shorter and can be
at all seasons.
Some of the Texan Journals appear to
think that the administration Of Gen. La
mar has been inefficient, but the currency
has rapidly advanced in every respect since
he came into power. The independence of
the country has been recognized in France
and England, favorable commercial treaties
have been negotiated with different powers,
oans have been effected, the Mexicans have
been awed and kept at bay, the Republic is
respected abroad, and even more flourish
ng at home than could be expected, and ev-
Try thing is going on prosperousy. We

In our columns Of to-day will be found
another "Card" from E. M. Ryland, Esq.
in reply to notice of his former commu-
nication by the Argus, the author of which
he believes to be Col Benton himself, and
which appears in the Argus as editorial.
In his superstition that the reply to his first
article was written by Gel. g., he is sustain
ed by the Republican, which says "the Col.
has been accused of this since he has been
in the city, and it has not been denied"
How will the Clique" of Fayette, tho
Jefferson Enquirer, and other papers, who
have been trying to break down the Argus,
and accusing its editor of advocating the
"rankest federal doctrines and opinions, in
opposition to Col. Benten's expressed sen.
timents, and who were continually quoting
him as authority against the Argus, like it,
What do you think, gentlemen, of your
"great and pure patriot writing editorial
for such "scurrllous print as the Argus,
and that too, under the control of such a
'mendacous federal scamp" as Mr.. Corbin.
Really, there appears to be something
little curious about the matter. Only
two or three weeks since the "Clique" tell
US, through their organ, that the editor OF
the Argus is shameless traitor" that he
fought to be crowned the Prince of Liars"
and that he is "leagued with the Wings in
trying to break down the democracy of
Missouri" and that he is directly at tissue
with Col. Benton" and now the Col comes
to ST. Louis and goes to writing editorial
for the Argus! We think the "Clique"
begin to see that. something is wrong-for
since the Col arrived in the State they are
perfectly silent.
The Col has been absent from his pets
too long, and has neglected to give them
out their orders regularly and their men,
cries being bad, they have forgotten what
they were told to do, and got to quarrelling
among themselves about which was the
best Benton man. Fortunately, the Col.
arrived in good time to alay the distur-
bance. or we should certainly have had
some bloody business. We hope he will
be particular in telling them how to man.
age, during his absence, and try and impress
it on their minds so that they will not for.
get it again.

The Columbia South Carolinian is re-
garded as the peculiar organ of the domi.
nant party in South Carolina. 1t goes to
the full extent of the most violent measures
in support of what is denominated the SOW

graph exhibits touch of its quality:
Let the Congress of the U. s. be admon-
ished, by our acts, that, when they pass a
fifty million bank and protective tariff, they
must pass it with bill for standing army

This, though not in verse, belongs to the
heroic measure. Ofthe same sort are those

THE TIMES.
REMOVAL OF GEN. MILBURN.

We but partake of the surprise and re-
greet of our contemporaries, in announcing
the removal of General WILLIAM Mil
BURN. from the office of Surveyor General
of this District. In the hope, however,
that it may be but a bIunder-brought
about by erroneous and exaggerated state
ments, or mere personal inhuences-we
shall await, as impatiently as our coadjutors,
at st. Louis and elsewhere, for the reasons
and the testimony upon which it was pred
icated. While we are the open and undis-
guised advocates for the removal of all
who have improperly drought the patron
age of the Government into conflict with
the freedom of elections" Or who have
been noisy and officious politicalp artisans-
and regret that it has been so long delayed
in Mssouri--we are as sternly opposed
now, as we were during the long Presi.
dental canvass which resulted in seating
our friends in power, to prescription fol
opinions sake. We but repeat, therefore
that we shall wait to see further into this
proceeding, in the hope (altho' faint one
that we may be enabled, in the end, to de
fend our friends at Washington, without for
feiting either our candor or our principles

tina, there is strong or probable grounds to
believe that the offence was committed by
the Prisoner, and he should not be discharg-
ed on Habeas Corpus. In order to con.
stitute the crime of larceny or negro steal
ing there must be caption and 0sportd-
ton. To constitute caption the negro
must have been in the actual or construc-
tive possession of the Prisoner, his aiderS
or abettOrs. To constitute an asportation
the Prisoner must have had some control
over the negro and his movements, either
directly or indirectly. There is no evi>
dence in this case that felony has been
committed by any one. There is no evil
dence that the negro was stolen. There
is no evidence that either Coley or the
Prisoner had ever seduced the negro into
possession. But all of the witness not on.
ly negative the presumption of possession,
but show clearly & conclusvely the negro
had not at the time Of the arrest been Sc
duced into the abstract or constructive
possession of either COley or the Prisoner.
Although the circumstances Of the case
carry conviction to the mind that there
was an intention on the part of Coley, TO
steal the negro and that the Prisoner
was to be an alder and abettor in the trans
action, but a mere intention to commit an
offence is not sufficient to constitute the
offence itself.
Under our statue the negro was not
even a runaway. He must have been
eight miles from home without pass or
must have lain out from home more than
two days before he could be considered a
runaway. The negro it seems was only
mile or two from the residence Of his
master, and had only been gone three or
four hours. The fact Of the negro riding
along the road at s or 8 o'clock at night, a
short distance behind Coley on his masters
mule in the neighborhood Of his residence,
is not sufficient evidence of caption and
asportation on the part even OF Coley, and
much less the Prisoner, who was several
miles distant riding upon the public high.
way. The only evidence against the
Prisoner are his own confessions, g. they
only admit his knowledge Of the intentions
of Coley, which | repeat do not constitute
a crime. The heretofore good character
of the Prisoner; the responsibility Of his
parents and family; his extreme youth
and punishment already inflicted on him
by having been confined four months in a
dungeon loaded with chains, as feeIingly
and eIoquently depicted by his counsel
may have enlisted my feelings but cannot
change the law Of the case. Let the Pris-
oner be discharged.
