TO THE COMMITTEE, GREETING:

We publish in another column letter from
a committee of anti-bonders TO the Editor of
the Vicksburg Sentinel, inviting him to par
take of a public dinner, and the response of
that individual accepting the profered honor.
These are hard times to give public dinners,
and we are gratifed to find that the members of
that committee are SO flush Of funds-On re-
ference to the list of names signed to the
letter of invitation, we find fifteen of them are
indebted to this office, in various sums, from
five dollars up to sundry hundl eds, and as we
are daily pressed for money we beg leave to
call their attention to their respective ac-
counts. If they are able to get up a public
dinner to our neighbor, they are or ought to
be, able to pay us the money for which we
have so long and SO vainly duned them. "Bs
just before you are generous" is trite and
sensible adage, and we hope that every SUBJ
scriber to that dinner will call and settele his
account with us before he partakes Of it.

New Orleans, and by the adherence express
ed by the Legislature of Louisiana and other
States of the Union, and of the gross violation
of all the rights of humanity and usages of
civilized warfare in the treatment of the pris-
oners of Santa Fe, the people of Texas look
with much of hope to the spirit of chivalry
and lberality in the valley of the Mississippi
for assistance in their present exigency.
The undersigned have been therefore depu-
ted by the Committee of Vigilance Of the
city of Galveston, representing, as they be-
lieve, the feelings of the whole people of Texas,
to repair to this place and make known speed
lily the condition of the country, and to ask
such contributions of useful materials as that
condition demands, and as may be convenient
for their friends to appropriate.
We design soon to publish the letter of our
instructions and appointment, which will indi-
cate sufficiently the objects of our visit, and
shall be most happy to confer promptly and
freely with any of the friends of Texas in
furtherance of these objects.

The following Address appears in several of
the New Orleans papers:
To the citizens Of Ncw Orleans and tie Valley
Of tie Mississippi.
The fate of Texas is at this moment suspend
ed on the issue Of the contest now waging on
the banks of the Colorado. The forces OF
ruthless and peri 1ious Mexico are suddenly
Precipitated on the country in numbers to
render an certain the repetition of the scenes OF
1885, with aggravated horrors. The people,
though taken by surprise, are rallying en- naGsse.
They are fully resolved not again to lay down
their arms until they extort the acknowledge
ment OF their independence in the heart of the
Mexican capitol. From the unprepared state
OF the country, every one expects to encoun-
ter much OF distress aud privation; but they
court the conflict, meeting it with spirits elate
and buoyant, looking with cheerful confidence
to its ultimate result.

sympathy for their cause by the citizens of

SANTA FE PRISONERS


Mr.. M. Rea, bearer of dispatches to Mr..
Ellis, our Minister to Mexico, has returned
to this city, on his way back to Washington.
So far as we can learn, it appears that San
ia Anna refuses to surrender Mr.. Kendall, on
the ground of his being an enemy, and an
abettor of the Texans, whom he pleases to
regard as invaders of Mexican territory. 1t
would appear, further, that the evidence of
Mr.. kendall's having a passport, and of its
destruction by the Mexican authorities, was
met by the statement of the Mexican Consul
here, that he had never granted Mr.. Kendall
one.
Mr.. Lumsden, we understand, had full and
free intercourse with Mr.. Kendall during
greater part of the time he was in the city of
Mexico, but matters became so threatening at
last, that he was forbidden to communicate
with him.
Our own opinion is, from what we hear of
the conduct of the Mexican Government, that
Mr.. Ellis would have been fully justified by
the American Government, had he demanded
his passports without delay. However, these
things will all be attended to in due time by
our Government.
The only Americans released were Combs
and Van Ness, In consideration of the stand
ing of their families. Santa Anna must yet
learn that in the United States we make no
distinction of persons, that the title of an
American citizen is invoabe.
Those of the prisoners, who were detained
in the city of Mexico, were huddled together
every night in St. James Church, and, with
chains on their limbs, were forced to work in
the streets and sewers during the day. They
kept their health WELL Among the sick were
Mr.. Kendall and DR.. Whitaker. They were
in the st. Lazarus Charity Hospital. Mr.. X.
was laboring under the measles.
No communication was allowed with the
prisoners after the Doth of February. Previ-
ousy, their fen friends in the city sent them
clothing and other things, and went to visit
them often.
Eighty two of them were at Peubla, on the
road to Vera Cruz, employed in paving the
roads. There were So at Perote, whose Gov
ernor did all he could to alleviate Their palms.
We hear no mention made of Young How.
ard, of the District of Columbia. We know
many more things of interest about all this
business, but the time is not now to allude to
them.

The following letter from Mr.. Thos. Falco-
ner, gives horrid account of the barbarious
and inhuman treatment of the Santa Fe Pris-
oners:
SIR:-Mr. Kendall joined the expedition at
Austin as a guest. He was not enrolled and
not subjected to any military orders. He also
had passport, which he frequently produced
upon the route, which authorized him to enter
Mexico and Santa Fe. This passport he OBJ
the Mexican Consul in that City. He was
not captured. The reason of his being with
this party was, that Col. Cooke anticipated
difficulties, and knowing that he had a pass
port, thought that it would enable him to re-
move from the scene of any hostilities that
might occur. At the time of his capture Mr.
Kendall had certainly not exhibited any hos
tile intentions by an act that he had previously
done. He was on his road to Santa Fe and
when he reached that place, if he had been
permitted to proceed so far, mihgt have, and
probably would have conformed to the law oil
Mexico by presenting his passport to the local
Mexican authorities.
When Mr.. Kendall was captured, his COM
panions exhibited white flag and were assu-
red that they would not be made prisoners
This assurance was not fulfilled. They were
made prisoners, and Mr.. Kendall's passport
was taken from him. He was entitled to be
permitted to return to Col. Cooke, or upon the
authority of his passport to have left his COM
panions and to have pursued his journey to
Santa Fe, without interruption. Ii he was
with hostile party, ne had right to return

AEAAN FOLUN1 ECEIC.
The Bee of this morning published the fol-
lowing letter from President Houston to the
Texan Consul in this city:
GALVESTON, March ii, 1912.
To P. EDxuNDs, Consul at New Orleans.
STR: 1t is probable that you will find in N.
Orleans and other parts of the United States
great excitement arising out of the late move
ments of Mexico against Texas. If any
should be anxious to volunteer in rendering
assistance to our Republic, it will be your duty
TO have it made known, that if any should en-
igrate it will be required for each emigrant to
bring with him good rifle musket, car
touch box, or shot pouch and powder horn,
with at least one hundred rounds of ammuni-
ton, good knapsack and six months clothing,
and enter service for six months subject to
the laws of Texas. They must be landed, for
the present, at some point west of the Brasos,
with eight days provision. No number less
than fifty-six in companies well organized will
be received, and on landing, each command
ant will report to the Secretary of War for
orders Emigrants who wish TO remove to
Texas at this time, must come thus prepared,
as none other would be of use to the defence
of the country, nor will they be received
There is a greater scarcity of arms and NUM-
tons Of war than of men in Texas. Were
men to come in great numbers to the country
without being in condition to act efficiently,
and we'll provided, it would only cucumber
the country without any other effect than to
destroy the substance of those who would be
necessary to sustain and defend the nation.
We can bring into the field at least ten
thousand men, and in case of emergency We
could raise fifteen thousand.
The war will not be of long duration. No
Mexican force can long sustain itself in Texas.
The indignation Of Texans will not tolerate
the pollution of their soil by the footsteps of
their servile invaders.
Mexico has made the war and has provoked
the indignation of all those who have regarded
their sanguinary cruelty and matchless perfdy,
since the Alamo was first besieged.
Let Mexico look out for the reCompense of
her iniquities.
have the honor to be,
Your obedient servant,
SAM. HOUSTON,
President
In addition to the above, we take pleasure
in stating that Messrs. Watrons, Meggnson
and Jones have been deputised by the citizens
Of Galveston to confer with the friends OF
Texas in New Orleans. They can be found
at the st. Charles Exchange, where they will
be happy to receive calls from any who may
wish information in regard to the condition
and prospects of Texas.

Fragrant then the breath of morn,
Blowing over perfumed fields,
When each lowly herb that springs,
Grateful incense freely yields,
And each b!uomy wilding flower,
Waving by the rivers brink,
To the wooing breeze, dover
Of the choicest odor brings.
By the hedge that skirts the way,
Thick the damask wild rose blows,
By the margin Of the brook,
Thick the snowy lily CLOVIS;
In the meadows verdant lap,
Thick the flowery strawberries bloom,
And their soft, delicious scent,
Yield the wild fern and the broom.

Pouring from their honled cups,
