LATEST FROM TEXAS.

(Preni the Ftc Orleans Buue,an, March 3lJ
The ndvices from Galveston contradict the runner oil
Mexican invasion, and there be no doubt now the
attack San Antonio was q mere marauding expedi'
ton The result however, has set all Texas in motion,
and by way of turning the tables on Mexico an Inva.
sion is on foot against the country beyond the Rio
Grande. The intentions Of the Texan Government
are sufficiently evident from the general order and the
proclamation published by President Houston. In the
former il is announced, that the main army, command
ed by General Somerve, under marching orders for
some point beyond the Rio Grande, and directions are
given to recruits 10 enlist for campaign in the ene

The Texan navy is represented TO be competent for
the enforcement of the threat and thus Mexico is at
once beeagured both by and land Matamoras, 1t

point will be for the Texans TO make per-

BY the arrival yesterday of the steam packet New

Galveston 10 the 2Sth.
1t will be by the accounts below, that at he
last dates, there were probably no Mexican soldiers
within the limits Of Texas. Nevertheless, certain
is the Government that the Mexicans preparing for
invasion with all their force, that the Texan CON-

correct:
Ist. Mexico has determined to invade Texas, and is
preparing TO March in her whole force pos

End. There is not any considerable Mexican force
now in our Republic.

FRIDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 2, 1912
THE SEASON.

Winter has fairly closed IN upon us. For
the past ten days we have had .continu-
ed premoniions Of its approach, and on
Tuesday last, after repeated attempts to
blockade the steamers on Lake Champlain,
Commodore JACK FRosr took possession of
the narrows, and Admiral SHERMAN has re-
tired with his fleet to winter quarters.
For several days past we have had ac-
counts of heavy falls of snow in every direc-
ton, east, west, north and south-whilc we
on the Lake shore have had plenty to do in
holding our hair on, and lodging the sand
clouds. But on Wednesday evening, the
Great Winter King having marshalled his
forces in the northeast, poured in upon us,
under cover of the night, and has literally
taken this region of country by storm. He
has undisputed possession of every lane,
street, and avenue, and at this moment, e.
a. m, Thursday,) is still strengthening HIM
self al every point. His reception, howcv-
er, we are happy to add, is decidedly cool
and, judging from the indications around us
very few indeed are inclined to "open thei
houses" to him. But should he tarry will
us till April, he will doubtless make som'
,Uarm friends, and in measure retrieve hi,
cputation-whch, il must be admitted, ha
not been very good, in this region for SOM
years past.

ccs, we say,it is not supposabc tlatMr. Mills,

Knowing the circumstances, would urge the

1t is but just to add in this connection,
thatthe more intelligent portion Of Winslow's
friends treat the matter with that CONTEMPT
which it merits. They regard it as politically
dishonorablc and grovclling-an attempt to
effect an adulterous connection with an adj
ministration which they never did, and new

THE SCHOOL FUND.

am well aware that in approaching the sub
ject which heads this article, | am, as it were
walking over mine of excited pubic feeling,
which gives token of an approaching explosion.
But propose, discardng the unworthy consid-
eratons which have drawn it into party dsputa-
tons, to speak of it as it really is, subject in
which we are all alike interested whatever may
be our political predictions. First then as to
its origin. 1t appears that some fifteen or TWEEN
ty years ago, the Legislature came TO the con-
clusion that it would be very nice thing to
make some provision by which some time or 9TH
or, nobody could guess when, common school
could be kept up two months in the year, in ev-
cry district in the State free of expense to the
districts, Accordingly, being full of this new
and ingenious idea, they proceeded to the cere-
mony OF laying the corner stone of this moneta-
ry edhce, and set in motion the elements which
were to work out its ultimate completion. In
the first place, in order to avoid delay in paying
off the debts of the old State Bank, direct tax
had been levied upon the people for such sums
as could not be raised from tho assets OF the
Bank within the requisite period. A large
amount of those assets still remained uncollec
| ted though colectable-and this was selected
as the substratum--the foundation of the newly
| inrenisd school fund.- In order to accelerate the
! accumulation of the flrd and perhaps with a

AN INQUIRY.

Mr. EDToR--Can you inform me whether it be
fact as currently reported that the publisher of the
Sentinel Is circulating petition req esilng the remov
nj OF the Burin gon Post Master, The ground that
he is praier and asking 10 be himSeJ appointed IN
his stead!
Is ii true that the late Pos, Master at this place
heads this petition!
Dec. i, iSi2. TYLER
We know nothing of the matter, except
through the agency of madam rumour. If
she is to be credited the first assertion is prob
ably correct. But really it is taxing credu-
lily little too severely to believe that any
man, after having himself shared for con-
siderable period in the profits the same Of
flee, should now voluntarily besmut his own
profession, urge it as cause for the removal
of an honorable opponent, and in the next
breath insult the appointing power by ask
ing his own appointment to station, which,
according to his own showing, he is disquali-
fed for. 1t can not be so. Can it F! Or is
Mr.. Winslow green enough to suppose, that,
under such circumstances, he could undergo
the ordeal of the Senate Let him lay no
such JUNCTION to his soul.
As to the second inquiry, we have no hes
ltation in saying that the rumor needs con-
frmation. The gentleman alluded to, held
the Office ofpost master in this town, undis-
tmbed, for more than twenty years-during
most Of which time he was the proprietor and
publisher of political paper-embracing
too the stormy period of Adams's admins
tration, which the Sentinel opposed with a
zeal and bitterness unequalled in New Eng
land. The Free Press was then in exist.
ence, supporting the administration /; ye
no complaint was made about Mr.. Mills be.
ing printer-no attempt made to remove
or prejudice him by the fact. On the o,heI
hand, when few years since, the depart.
mcnt, from some misunderstanding or other
was about to make removal, and callce
upon our late wing representative, IN Con-
= eress to name successor, that gentlemen
i magnanimously stepped into the breach, re-
concied the difficulty for his political oppo
