TExAs.-We extract the following, rela.
tive to the war In Texas, from the New Or
leans Courier Of Monday:
1t appears that the Mexican ARMY, although
reinforced sines its retreat from Bexar, re.
inaihed ID the vicinity of The Nneces river
or about haff way betWeen the Mo del Norts
and st. Antonio. On the other hand, thu
Texian militia and vslun'eere had mustered
in less force than had beer calculated on. Sc
lar from following up the Mexicans and car.
rying tie war beyond the Rio del Norte, theiI
advance was no further than Gonzales, wher
they were in want Of leader, money, pro.
Visions, and that harmony among themselves
without which, SUCCESS can hardly be expect.
ed.
From the Galreston Times Of The I'd inst.
News from Houston last week represented
Semerville as having reached the army, where
he was received with enthusiasm; afterwards
that he was sick and had not reached th~
place of rendezvous, and that dissentians "ere
therefore apprehepded. New it is lated that
Senervlllc has recovered and .s11 be received
with reclamation. We nave not changed our
mlnd-that the Presidents appointments will
destroy the efficiency of the campaign.
One thousand men are said to be embodied
instead of Two. The head quarters are estsb-
lished at Gonzales. Wei il said still to be
east of the Nueces-and 10 have received a
reIDtSrCement OF 800 men. All the militia Of
the northern provinces OF Mexico are reported
TO hive received orders to march to his as
s~istance. If these latter reports prove true,
we may expect 10 hear OF a general move
made by our citizens to the western frontier.
If eli the contrary, VOL has retreated across
the Rio Grarde, it will be found that The in
tended invasion Of Mexico will either be de-
feated by the nominations, or the troops will
march under theiI own chosen leaders
which latter course will cause hundreds to
turn out who are now lukewarm.

GREAT TEoTTING MATCH.-A match be-
tween Ripton and Americas, came off at the
Beacon Course, New York, on the 2sth
ult. From the annexed description of the
race, by the New York Herald, it appears
that the speed of the animals was a fraction
over 81 miles per heur.
"The match was for $1,000 aside, three mile
heats, in harness. Americas was the ~fayorite
by odds of two to one before the start, and
considerable money was posted. The first
heat was closely contested, and won by Anne
ricus in sm. OBS. The betting here ranged
at 800 to IS en- Americas, and but few ia
kers were found, at this long odds. The Sc
cond heat was sharply contested, but Rlpton
proved the better horse, and wen it in SIN. Is.
beating his competitor but a short space,
amid the shouts of the assembled crewI. On
the third heat, Americas was still the f~avoriic,
ard kept the lead until the last quarter OF the
last mile, when Rlpton passed HIM, and won
the heat IN SIN. O4s.; thus taking in all the
knowing ones, and putting many a roll in
pockets of small capital that had risked all on
the long odds. Americas kept a continual
"break up" on coming in at the end Of the last
heat, thus giving his opponent a sure advan-
tage, which he turned to good account. The
three heats, of nine miles, were thus accem-
plished in ID minutes and s seconds"

MEXICO AMI TExAs.-We are indebted to
the officers Of the Octararo, for a copy OF the
N. o. Courier Of Wednesday evening, in
which we find the following paragraph. How
far it is true, we cannot presume to say.
Two arrivals last evening from Matamoras,
have put us in possession Of intelligence from
the Mexican frontier to the 29th ult. 1t APP
pears that the Mexican force which invaded
Texas, consisted of 600 horse and 400 foot.
We have the proclamations and bulletins Of
General VOL, in the MatamoraS papers.
The learned General has for model, taken Ce-
sar, and some Of the revolutionary Generals
of France. In his official report Of the fight
ing near;Bexar, he writes that with part Of his
division, he attacked 800 Texans, strongly
posted in a wood-that in the mean time ano-
Their party Of $50 Texans appeared on enc of
his fanks-that he ordered his cavalry to at
tack the latter, which was done, killing 100,
taking Is prisoners, and allowing . or 3 to
escape. That the main body of the Texans
fed about the close Of the day, leaving their
killed on the ground, &c.
