LATE FROnI TEXAS.

Ply the steamship Neptune, which arrived
yesterday, we have received Galveston papers
to the 4th, and those of Houston of the I'd in
slant.
The only news we find, is another rumour that
Arista is preparing to invade Texas. Although
we entertain little apprehension that the Ncxi-
cana will be able to enter Texas for some time
to come, yet, as the accounts seem to have been
the base of some action on the part Of the Tex
ian government, we give the substance Of what
the papers contain.
A letter from Austin, of 23d Dec gives the
following as the latest news
"My intention now is to give you some of the
news received yesterday evening from San An
tonic. Col. S--has arrived at San Antonio, and
states that the officers, troops and al classes of
citizens, speak necessarily of the war against
Texas. From private conversation with Gene
raj Arista, he learned that two Americans, incog-
nito. were sent into Texas to offer guarantees
to the old settlers for their persons and property
offering them trial by jury-their own Legis-
lature ard Executiye-Fresdom Of their ports,
provided they become dependant on the govern
meut ofMsxice. -'N 81

and only system of National Defence known to
history whereby the magnanimous principle
cherished by our fathers of the revolution and
The trainers of the constitution of the United
States, of tolerating only DEFENSIVE wAR, can
De effectualy sustained, inasmuch as this sys-
tem is the only one ever discovered which
,ives to a nation of our peculiar localities great
md irresistible means Of defensive, without
much increasing our capacity for offensive tcar;
particularly when employed against nations de-
.ended in accordance with the proposed sys-
tenn: as my Floating Batteries are designed
mainly for defsnsiVe lCar.
6. Let us see few of the striking pecullarl-
lies of fleets propelled by wind and canvass
and mark the difference between them aud
fleets propelled by steam power.
Hitherto hostile fleets, propelled by wind and
sails have been from six weeks to two months
employed in the voyage from Europe to our
sea board; guarding with great care the numer-
Gus transports charged with the land forces and
military stores, to cooperate with their Fleets
in the destruction of Notifications and exposed
sea ports. But readily as they have found
means to disembark their troops and munitions
ofwar, their Fleets have never ventured into
any sea ports where they had reason to appre-
bend a spirited resistance. But they haYe
been willing TO vent their proves on tugI-
tive merchant vessel, or such little places as old
Hampton and Stonington.
During the whole of the war of 1872, '13
and IA, Washington, Alexandria and Baltimore
were the only cities of the U. States having
any tolerable means of defence, that were seri-
ously threatened by the invading foe: the result,
though disastrous to the two former, where
there where no Forts, covered Baltimore with
imperishable fame. They would not enter our
harbors where there were even small Forts,
knowing as they did, that few cannon would
destroy them, if they were left within reach
without mind or tide TO take them away. But
Steaa' Ships of Var, may approach us acithoat
,ciRd or tide,-and approach us in the night,
and so rapidly as to be untouched by the can
non of our Forts, and after setting our cities on
fire in thousand places, may retire untouched
by our shot!
I. Without the proposed Floating Batteries
and Rail Roads zoe cannot afford protection 10
our sea port towns against steam ships OF war.
With them we can render our whole country
impregnabIe in tcar, and more prosperous ana
hoDpv in peace, than any quarter Of the globe
has ever Seen and at an expense that will be
replaced in z or 10 years of peace, or SaUed IN
three years of war.
The proposed system of National Defence
will supply us with the best of Military and
NaVal Schools, and the best means of giving US

RESUMPTION IN PHILADELPHn.-On Friday
the banks in Philadelphia resumed specie pay
ments. As there were more notes Of the United
States Bank in circulation than Of any of the
other institutions, the demand at the counter of
this bank were of course largest. According to
the North American, it is computed that about
$500 in specie were drawn out during the
day, principally on New York and Boston ac-
count The Philadelphia Inquirer Of Saturday,
says: "The New Workers drew on our banks
yesterday for $4,000 in specie. All of TIE
banks, with one or two exceptions, paid opt
their own notes.

PusLIc SCHOOLS OF BALTIMoRK.-The
Report of the Commissioners of Public Schools
in our city has just been published. From it
we learn that the number of pupils in the five
daily schools for boys and the FIVE daily schools
for girls, amount to It'll. There are, besides
these, five night schools for males, in which
four hundred and fifty pupils are taught. In
addition to these the Public High School, for
the more advanced scholars, who are taught
the ancient languages and the higher mathe-
mates, has SO scholars. The whole number Of
pupils, receiving instruction in all the Public
Schools in the city is 2,27O. The report re-
commends the erection of large building, for
tine High School, 1t is thought that this edi-
fee should be in some central part of the city;
that it should be of style of architecture wor-
thy of the cause to be promoted by it, and ca
pable of accommodating four or five hundred
scholars. The cost of educating each scholar
including supply OfboOks and stationery, and
all other charges, is about six dollars.

Harrison,s Specific ointment.

The great celebrity ofthis unrivalled Compost
tion--especially in the Northern States--leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in
its favor; for il has been generally conceded to it,
that it is beyond all comparison the best remedy
for eTterndl complaints that has ever been dlscov
cred. Indeed the speed and certainty OF It's oper
ations have the appearance of ofmiracleS: as ulcers
wounds, corns, fever Sores chilblains white swell
lings, biles, piles, spider and snake bites &C.
Immediately yield to its apparently super human
influence. Thus if properly applied it will remove
an inveterate, corn or break and heal bile in five
days, will alav and perfectly cure an ulcer in two
weeks and the most desperate cases of white
swelling that can be imagined, have been destroyed
by it in less than two months. In the bites of
poisonous reptiles its efficacy is truly surprising;
and even in the bite ofa rabid dog, for If applied
in time, its powers of attraction are so wonderful
that thev will at once arrest the poison and thus
prevent it from pervading the system. 1t is like
wise greatly superior TO any medicine heretofore
discovered for the chaed backs and limbs of horses
for letters, ring worms chapped lps,-and in
short for every external bodily evil that may fall
to the lot of man or beast. ""
The proprietor has received at least thousand
certificates and other documents, in favor of his
" Specific Ointment" upwards hundred of which
were written by respectable members of the Med
ical Faculty and in selecting from this pile the
following san pies, he was governed more by their
brevity, than their contents, they all breath the
same spirit OF eulogy and satisfaction.

regard to your pills am firmly persuaded that
they deserve far more praise than you seem in
clned TO give them Six months ago thew were
scarcely known here, and yet at present there is
no other medicine that can compare with them in
popularity. In Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, de-
rangement of the Biliary organs, and obstinate
constipation of the bowels, know of no aperient
more prompt and eficacious; and have had con-
siderable experience in all these complaints :.
| would add that their mildness and certainty of
action render them safe and efficient purgative
for weekly individuals; and that they may be Civ
en- at all times without apprehension of any of
those injurious consequences which so frequently
attend the application of caomel, or blue pill. On
the whole consider your Vegetable Pills an in
