Troops there, terrifying. They are represented

"Mexico ~ evidently wholly uopsepsred for

We find II stated in tho Civilian that entries
OF u. y. goods have been made under protest
in the custom house, AZ Galveston the parties
intending TO try whether they arc liable to duty,
upon the question whether Texas IL or 10 not
non part Of tho United States.

UNFORTUNATE OccURRENcE.---Early on Mon
day morning last, DR.. William Is. Dozer at.
tempted to chastise q negro man named Landy,
whom he had hired. for using insolent and
threatening language towards him. The negro
resisted, and made an assault on the DR.. who
managed to get out Of his way-the negro then
attempted to get weadon, with which no
doubt, he intended to despatch the DR.. and
while in the act Of grasping the weapon, the DR..
shot him. The negro died in few minutes.
Dr. Dozier Immediately surrendered to the
proper authorities, and the case underwent
thorough and patient investigation befor Justice
Edmonson yesterday, " hich resulted IN an hon.
orabe acquittsl Of Doct. Dozier-the court be-
l;nu full, sd shoe eho a. saI

the circumstance is to be regretted public senti-

not but justify tho Doctors course on this try
ling occasion. The facts Of the case will be sub
mitted to an impartial public in our nexs.-True
