THE NEWS FROM MEXICo-NO WAR
ta YET

The news by the Water Witch, which left Vera
Cruz on the 5th inst it will be seen leaves matters
very much N aafu quo aaie betim, Or one of our
exchanges has it, us tlfey were before the departure
of the Relampago. Mexico has neither declared
war nor even acted defniuseIy on the initiatory
measure Of the Sl5,O0O,00O Ioan--and this, too,
though the intelligence of the arrival on the Rio
Bravo, of detachment of U. S. troops, had reached
the Mexican capital.
STILL the intelligence is indicative Of hostile interi
tons on the part Of Mexico, and of her determine
ton at least to make the effort to re-subugate Tex
as. Bat, whether she will do this with or without
formal declaration of war against the United States,
it is impossible to say. 1t may be, as suggested by
one Of the New Orleans papers, that Mexico may re-
gard the intimation or threat officially communica-
ted to the u s. government, that she would regard
the contamination of annexation as q declaration
of war part, asrequiring further formality
from her before commencing hosties. Or she
may proceed with her expedition against Texas, ms
If nothing had occurred to alter the relation before
existing between that republic and the United
States Or she may do something else; for there is
scarcely anything that is not within the range Of
Mexican tactics At present, her course and de-
signs are an enigma which il is not easy to solve
tits apparent, however, that the impression in
Mexico was general, that matters must come to open
hostiInics; and hence American residents were pre-
pairing to leave the country. The next accounts
will be looked for with increased interest.

GrnrpAr Oppru-No IA

By order of the governor and commander-n-chief,
two regiments Of infantry and two regiments Of rifle
men are forthwith to be organized and equipped in
the best possible manner for services in Texas at
the request of Major General Gaines commanding
the western division Of the United States army.
The governor has directed me to express to our ct-
zen-sodiers il the vicinity Of the capital, his great
satisfaction 1T the ardor which they have manifested
il was known their services might be required and
our citizens throughout the State to meet the requsi-
lion by voluntary engagements, without resort TO a
draught.
The major generals Of divisions will, therefore,
forthwith issue orders TO the officers under their
command 10 invite the services of volunteers, and
organize them without delay into COMPANIES bat
talions, and regiments. As soon asa company, bat
talon, or regiment is organized, the major general
will report it as ready for service TO the adjutant

The Texan brig Rover, Captain Jacques, which
let Galveston on the l2th arrived here yesterday
morning. Through the politeness of Captain
Jacques, we have received the Civilian OF the 9th,
but II contains nothing new.
The Civilian is indignant at the movements OF
'cerain restless men" in Texas, to subyer ibe az.
isiing government; and thereby vents its bile IN col
umn Of viiuperation against those who would have
the convention place State governmental operation
before its adjournment AS in our paper of the llth,
we published paragraph from the News, urging
what the Civilian condemns, We give the following
from the last-named pepper:
"We have already in successful operation gov
eminent suited To our present wants and condition,
and one fully competent to the regulation of our To-
cal affairs until the acceptance of our constitution by
the United States. Even allowing that il might be
suddenly changed or abrogated without confusion,
we can see no benefit TO be secured from such a
measure. Granting that one equally as good could
be substituted, nothing would be gained. But we
cannot conceive how such measure is 10 be accom-
plished without disorder and collision. The present
government is based upon constitution formed and
ratified by the people. Its successor must have
these sanctions and also that of the United States
Congress- In order 10 give it validity Until these
prerequisites are obtained, the present authorities
would be unaithul TO their trust 10 abandon the Of
fees they FILL or TO discharge the functions for
which they were selected"
By the arrival, last evening, of the brig Hope
Howes, Capt. Shaw, from Galveston, we have re-
ceived the News Of the 18th; but it does not con-
tain one word of intelligence, save the following in
relation TO the growing crops:
"Tbe accounts Of the cotton crop which we have
heard from the interior still continue favorable all
though the late drought is beginning to affect il in
jurlodsfy. In some few places the cotton is suffer-
ing from lice, and the bolls beginning to fall. In
Jefferson and the Contiguous counties, the crops
said to have been cut short nearly one-half by the
drought; while in western Texas, the rains have
been very seasonable, and the crops were never
better +"

fully equal TO that yielded by the falls Of the Merr-
mac at Lowell. Mr. Purinton ID the proprietor, and
has saw-ml running with five saws, in separate
frames. His logs come down the ST. Croix.
There is trap formation IN place, crossing the
river at the falls, oblquely from northwest 10 south
east II is lost short distance To the northwest Of
the river, but runs off in range of ~ miles the
southeast Of the falls. IL differs good deal from
the trap.formation on Lake Superior. IL is OF a
blush and lighter color than the trap on the lake
10 the high perpendicular cliffs of this stone, which
faces The river at, and for some little distance be-
low the falls, may be seen strong indications Of IA
coiumnar structure in its form; while in the trap on
Lake Superior, the same rock is uniformly amor
phous IN its form.
Besides, the trap on Lake Superior appears uni
formly TO have had upheayal through red sand
stonej while that az the falls has been borne up
through white sandstone, very distinct in It's charac-
Ter from the red Sandstone of the lake. Il is probo-
bic, therefore, that there is no continuous connexori
or homogeneousness of character between the trap
rock of the falls, and that on Lake Superior, and
that they may have been raised at far different and
distinct periods. BE this as il may, however,
found the trap at the falls of ST. Crox to give very
favorable indications Of the existence of copper
