narrative, which we transmit to our readers,
though burning with indignation:
The Tesians to the number of seven

The Texas Times, Galveston January
9TH, gives the following account of the af.
iairreferredt to in the preceding paragraph;
by the Dayton, from Houston, (arrv.
ed the lst January,) We received papers
TO the S0th utlmo, containing the glorious
news OF the capture Of the Mexican town
of Laredo on the 9Th December. The
few Mexican troops who occupied the
place made hnsty retreat without firing
a gun. Being notified of this, our army
sent messenger TO the Alcalde to make
acquisitions for necessaries, which we're
promptly furnished. After taking the
town, few Of the troops crossed the Rio
Grande, and planted the banner of the Sim
gle Star or the west bank. Our army
consisted of between seven and eight hun.
dred men.
We regret to learn that some Of the
soldiers in opposition TO the positive in
functions of the officers, resorted to robbie
~ and plumber. When ordered so TO do,
however, the majority delivered their i'll.
got gains to their officers, who promptly
returned the same to their proper owners.
Those who refused to do this were driven
from the army, and from this and other
causes about l40 started on their return to
Texas. The remainder signed solemn
pledge to respect private property.

timated,) crossed the Rio Grande and took
up the line of march for Guerrero, a town
about sixty miles below Laredo; from
thence it is presumed they will proceed
rapidly onward and take Mier, Comargo,
and Rhinosa by which time it is to be
hoped that sufficient reinforecements will
join them to encourage descent on Mat

INSTRUCTION RESOLUTIONS.

INSTRUCTION RESOLUTIONS.
The resolutions introduced some time
since by Mr.. Jones Of Orange, known as
the Instruction Resolutions, passed the
House Of Commons on the Gath ult.-
Thus has been consumed much of the time
of the Legislature and a, great expense TO
the State, in discussing resolutions, that
can have no beneficial effect on the interests
Of the people. The Loco Focos well knew
that, as far as our Senators are concerned,
they would not be obeycd, then why take
up so much of the time Of the Legislature?
The reason is obvious. In their party
tactics they act with an eye TO what will
rodound to the advantage of their party
they try 10 manufacture political capital
out of every measure. Thus you see the
Standard is out already charging the blame
Of occupying SO much of the time Of the
