AN IMPORTANT MILITARY MOVEMENT.

We are indebted to the New Orleans Bee for au-
tneatic intelligence Of an important movement of
troops in that vicinity, for the purpose of protecting
the newly-acqured territory Of Texas from the dam
gers Of supposed Mexican invasion. General
GAINES, now in New Orleans, alleging to have re-
ceiyed authentic information to the efecthat ten thou
sand lerican troops were within eight days march
of General Taylor, who is posted at st. Joseph's
Island, Immediately despatched messenger to Mr.
MouToN, the Governor Of the State Of Louisiana,
(who was at Pass Christian, claiming requisiton
of two regiments Of volunteers, (of ten companies
each,) one to consist Of Infantry and one OF Rifle
men. and TWO companies OF Artillery, with eight
field pieces. The requiston was Immediately grant
ed, to be put forthwith into execution.
The two volunteer regiments, consisting of from
fifteen to eighteen hundred men, are to be stationed
at forts and barracks on the Gulf subject to the
orders Of the Government; and the United States
troops, at present in garrison at those stations,
to be Immediately transferred to Texas. Wednes-
day last was the time appointed for the two COM
panies Of volunteer artillery TO leave New Orleans
for Texas, on board the steamship Alabama, toge-
Their with four companies of United States troops
of the 7th regiment infantry.
In addition to the above, the New Orleans Cou-
rier intimates that besides the United States militia
and regular troops that to be sent to the from
tier of Texas, the militia Of that Republic will also
be held on the alert. By resolution of the Texan
Congress- passed on the 26th Of June, the Presi-
dent Of Texas is authorized and required to call
into service the militia volunteer force to such
an extent as he may deem expsdent, in case it may
be necessary to repel any Mexican troops that may
invade, or attempt to invade, the territory of the
Republic. In this same resolution the Government
of the United States is invited to occupy, without
delay, the frontier Of the Republic with such troops
as may be necessary for its defence. The Courier
thinks that, under the provisions Of the law above
quoted, Texas could, on sudden emergency, raise
at least five thousand troops, brave and hardy rifle
men, and better adapted than any others for opera
tons against Mexican army. So that, in view of
the activity displayed in preparing for the crisis it
is not probable that there will be a deficiency of
force to meet any emergency.

FROM ARKANSAS BAY.

The ship Queen Victoria, which sailed from
Arkansas Bay on the afternoon of the 18th instant,
has also reached New Orleans. She reports that
nearly all of the third and fourth regiments of Unit
ed States troops, under the command of General
TAYLOR, had been conveyed by the steamer Undine
from ST. Joseph's Island to Corpus Christi. Gen.
Taylor had not heard Of amy Merican troops be-
ing ieithin annoying distance Of him. The New
Orleans Bee remarks g II is hardly probable, from
his present position, that he could have received
the intelligence, should such have been the fact.
He had already crossed the Nueces and planted
the United States flag in the ancient department
of Tamaulipas he had only to sleep upon his arms
and await the approach of the Mexican army, it
having been decreed by that Government that the
passage of the Rubicon by the United States troops
would be considered as a declaration of war;
The whole of the Fifth Infantry was stationed at
Kinney's Rancho. On the 9th the Undine got
aground and lay three days with two companies Of
the Seventh and Fourth Infantry on board she
succeeded in getting off on the 18th General
TAYLOR was on board the Undine at the last ac-
counts he left st. Joseph's camp on the 18th in
stant At St. Joseph's, waiting orders to move,
were companies F, B, E, and G, of the Fourth Re-
giment of Infantry also, company F Of the Third
Artillery, awaiting the arrival of their cannon.
Company III was at Shell Bank, with the horses and
Suffers department. 1t was reported that the re-
mainder of the troops were to go to McGowan's
Bluff, which was thought to be the best place for
depot, the Rancho being too far from the sea and
not being so good for wood and water There was
no sickness at all among the troops the air was
very fine and the nights cool, with good breeze
from the sea, with plenty Of the best kind of fresh

FROM TEX A S.

We also find in the New Orleans papers accounts
from Galveston to the 18th instant. There is no
intelligence Of importance. The .Austin NeW Era,
of the 3Oth ultimo, states that the Convention for
framing State Constitution would not be able to
adjourn before the expiration of three weeks. There
is no mention of the rumored invasion of Texas by
10000 Mexicans The Washington News of the
18th instant says that intelligence has been received
at the War Department that no requirements haze
been made fofhe Merican troops on The Rio Gruade.
Those already there are reported to be wholly I'M
prepared for campaign.
Three lions have lately been seen and chased in

For general information we should have inserted
the annexed article in the government
paper on the 2ls instant, and which was proper
in ITSELF but it accidentally escaped our notice until
it met our eye in another paper:
"For the information of the gallant citizens who
will wish to avail themselves Of appointments in the Army in
the expectation of rupture with Mexico, deem proper
state what have learned from the War Department.
that the present military establishment in be in
creased itot the previous legislation of Congress and,
course there will be such appointments be made until
first authorized by law The militia only be called out in
aid of the regular army, by law established There
attached to the army many supernumeray graduates
of the Military Academy fit for the active and important
service. Union
This article was, as we have said, not only pro-
per, but was considerate towards many who were
and distinguish themselves the fields of Texas or
Mexico, in the possible war between the latter coun-
try and the United States. 1t happens, however,
that the greatest abstract truth in the official para
graph proves to have been its only practical error;
for, at the very time that the Administration was
announcing to the country that the militia can
only be called out in aid Of the regular army
by law established" Major General GAINES was
giving practical contradiction to the President by
calling out some two thousand Louisiana militia
himself, to march some five or six hundred miles to
aid and assist the American General TAYLOR against
an immense Mexican force, which General GAINES
enjoyed the exclusive privilege Of learning on
their way to attack General TAYLOR, and only eight
days march from the American camp. Governor
MouToN, 1nothing 10th" to place two thousand
citizens of Louisiana under pay, readily obeys
General GAINEs's requisition, and orders into
vice the number of troops specified.
Except as heretofore amended by Gen. GAINES,
the Constitution las our readers are aware) gives
power to any body but Congress "to provide for
calling forth the militia execute the laws Of the
Union suppress Instructions and repel invasions."
That power, Congress has not, that we can find
delegated to Gen. GAINES. Yet it seems clear that
in this era of strict construction and of democratic
ascendency, civil and military, large body of Lou
isana militia by this time in the field, upon the
call of Gen. GAINES although the President him
self could not legally issue Congress enact such
an order, unless in case which certainly has not
yet occurred. II seems fated, in this Texas bust
ness that the -Latitudinarians shall not move

ton or Laws
