LATE FROM TEXAS.

The New Orleans Picayune of the 5th
says:--The steamship New York, Capt
Wright, arrived last night from Texas
She left Galveston at noon on Tuesday.
Commodore Moore did not touch at
Galveston or any other Texan port; that
he would not, was known to us at the
time of his departure.
to make of Santa Annals proposal is not
yet known; but it is known that the peo-
pie of Texas will submit TO no other condi-
tons than those of Independence and free
dom from Mexican connection.
The Treasury of the Republic is to be
closed for sixty days, and no payment is
TO be made TO any ono within that time.
The bandit Agaton appeared on the
Nueces few weeks since, and some ira
ders state that he and his party murdered
the Lipan chief, Flacco.
A small party of men recently sailed
from Matagorda for the purpose of attack
ing the Mexicans at Corpus Christi. They
went in row boats, which are of light
draught. and will be enabled to sail through
the shallow inets along the coast and thus
avoid discovery.
A public meeting has been held a, La
Grange, Fayette county, in which resou-
tons of respect for the memory of DR..
Brenham and of sympathy with his friends
was passed.
The rumor that Gen. Houston had writ
ten to Santa Anna, stating that the Mier
prisoners had entered Mexico contrary to
his orders, is contradicted by the Galveston
Civilian. The same authority pronounces
the report Of British interference with
slavery in Texas apocryphal.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CAN AND CAN'T
Some one has remarked, that he does not
know a word in the vocabulary of Ian
guage that sounds so forbidding to the feel
ings, SO stagnant in its effect as the word
can't. 1t is irreconcilable to any thing in
morals or philosophy. 1t checks the cur
rent of life, and brings all the energies of
body and mind into a state Of lethargy;
makes the present cold winters waste and
desert of despair---ihe future an inextri-
cable wilderness, the entrance of which is
but the opening of an interminabe laby.

ARREsT-THE TREASURY NOTES

We understand, that man by the
name of Marsh Holiday was yesterday
committed to prison on a warrant from a
Judge Of the U. s. District Court in
Louisiana, charged with being concerned
in the theft of the Treasury Notes from
the Custom House in New Orleans, the
loss amounting to about 100000. He
was arrested at Cairo, and brought to this
city, by Deputy Marshal of Louisiana.
Some $4,000 in specie were found upon
him. The person arrested was in this city
some weeks ago, and it is said that some
of the cancelled Treasury Notes have been
traced 10 him as having passed them. The
case will come up for hearing before Judge
Manning, tomorrow morning, on applica-
ton for writ of habeas corpus.

"We understand there is an animal somewhere
in this state called the central clique" We
would like TO see him. Wonder if it has as
many stripes and no two alike, as the
celebrated Bengal Tiger Liberty Banner.
The Reporter says Messrs. Reynolds,
Jackson, Marmadukc, Lowry, Monroe and
Fort, constitute the main body--or head
of the Clique. The small fry constituting
the tail live in and about Fayette, including
the Paris Sentinel editor Robinson will
have TO be looked TO for the stripes.

A German Peder was found dead in the

last Wednesday, near the latter place. He
was seen to fall by some servants who were
near, and when approached was found to

at home, al Herman. lie has been through
this country several times, and was known
