zas s.id TO be On foo, for tie ROBBERY of Santa
traders :s commanded BIZ man named War
field. who holds a commission II the Texan serv-
ice. and has thus indaced many men to JON him.
By the promise OF large rewards from the Govern
nent He declared the objec; of the Expedition
to be, not the robbery Of American trader, but
the capture of Santa Fe, though he frankly con-
fessed that pc intended to plunder company Of
Mexican merchants known to be en- route, with
valuable stock OF goods, for Santa re. 1t Is
alleged, In extenuation Of tins design, that the
owners of the goods were present at the capture
Of the Texan troops under Gen. VI Leod near San
Ia Fe. and took no measures to avert the punish
ment inflicted upon them, and hence the sPo1s
are deemed far object Of division. Col. War
field was to leave Bent's Fort for the False Wash
ita. where he was 10 meet q hundred and fifty
men, said 10 be under the command of the late
leader Of the expedition against Santa Re. NJ Leod.
This is the fairest side OF the story; but the Ex
petition would probably prove to be one OF indis-

The Era says that the dragons who started
from Fort Leavenworth in pursuit Of the men who
left the frontier, have returned to the post, having
Travelled ninety mics in twcnty-four hours with

TEsAs.-Thc New Orleans Bee, in an editorial
article. contains information Of some important
projects concerning Texas which ii says 1t has
received from good authority. The substance OF
it is that in consequence of the exceedingly de-
pressed fate Of the country, deA'e,,s arc enter
tanned ty many OF hc1 t.- mos, Influential men of
conEeF.,-.g Texas into ire State, by the grad
ual a.$oliiion Of Slavery The serious fall in the
value Of Cotton is said to have rendered It's cul-
ture Improbable emigration to Western Texas
has nearly ceased, AMI it is urged with great
force that the measure proposed would at once
enlist in favor of Texas many of the Northern
presses of the Union, and the English generally
and thus induce emigration to great extent
This it is thought viii enhance the value OF the
lands sufficiently to recompensc them the value
Of the Slaves The Bee says that the project has
been entertained of selling Texas TO England !;
but it was abandoned from the belief that the
fear of difficulties with the United States would
prevent Great Britain from assisting the country
rs much as she would do were 1t 10 remain an
