POSTSCRIPT.

This evenings southern mail brings advices from
Texas via New Orleans, up, to the 23d uliimo, the
morning Of the day on which the Princeton left
Galveston; and, though we are not thereby I'M pos
session of later advces, we find the papers full Of
interesting details, bearing the condition Of the
country the state Of the Mexican troops the Rio
Grande frontier, &c, &c. We have only time this
evening, before the Unsn" goes to press to mention
that the list Of delegates elected to the convention,
to form constitution for the State Of Texas, which
met at Austin on the 4th instant, as far as their
names are ascertained and published, presents
host of talent, energy, and practical requirement.
So we are informed by gentleman we'll acquainted
with the public men of Texas, who has looked over
1t. The Galveston Civilian" says the Nueces has
overlooked its banks, and is impossible; while the
whole country beyond is continuous bog, render
ing any attempt to travel in large numbers impncti
cable.
This very much weakens the chance of an inva-
SION from Mexico at this time, as the waters in
western Texas are apt to keep up from the middle
of July, at least, until the middle of October; and
when the deserts between the Nueces and the Rio
Grande are once overfowed, they rarely become
passable, even to single wayfarers, under two
months, and are much the more difficult of travel
to large bodies Of men.
The government of Texas has received informa-
ton from Captain Hays, contradicling the rumor
that the Mexican forces on the Rio Grande had
been increased to 1000 men.
Not a member has been elected to the convention.
as far as heard from, who goes prepared to oppose
annexation the terms proposed by the joint
luton of Senate and House of Representatives.
The crops in the interior are represented as re-
markably fine.
Captain Elliott was the identical ''man in the
white hat"
From the New Orleans Tropic.
IMPORTANT MOVEMENT OF TROOPS.
We learn, from gentleman who arrived last eve-
ming from Natchitoches, that, on Sunday evening
last, messenger from Washington reached General
Tayor--the officer in command at Fort Jesup--
with orders to put his troops in motion for the Rio
Grands. Immediate preparations were made for
start; and, on Wednesday, two regiments of infan-
try to leave steamboats, for this city, while
the Cd regiment of mounted dragons, under
the command of Colonel Twiggs, was to strike
across through Texas. The infantry will probably
reach this city to-day tomorrow, where they
will remain until transports can be engaged to take
them to the mouth Of the Rio Grande. We hear il
said, that the squadron under the command of Conn
modore Stockton will probably come up to take the
troops over; butt is to say the least very doubt
full.

merchants, and the merchants of this District, TO
the business cards Of the Philadelphia and New
York wholesale dealers. Business men visiting
those cities, for the purpose of purchasing goods,
will, by reserving this paper, have directory to
where they can find almost every article of trade.

SIMPLE ANNALS

We devote considerable portion of our columns,
this evening, to the following sketch, which has
been furnished us by gentleman Of taste and nell-
gence, Of the State Of North Carolina. He simply
holds the pen for the matron Of near eghty-fve
years OF age, who retains her intellectual faculties,
and supplies, from the "tables Of the brain, " the
"reminiscences which she gave him of two interest
ing persons and scenes the one is the father Of the
governor of North Carolina, MIR. Graham; the
other sketch relates to the earlier years and revolu
honary adventures Of one Of the first men Of the
age and country-General Andrew Jackson. The
author, who is now in this city, that he
has caught the words, as far as he could, from her
own lips that her narrative is perfectly clear; and
that her is truly characteristic Of the "oden
times" which she describes. These are, indeed,
simple annals"--not "of the poor" as Gray de-
scribes them, but they relate to higher persons
than those whom he commentaries in his church
yard elegy. They touch the earlier character of the
man who, "Aunt Suzy" and others little dreamed,
at the time, was destined to "fll so large space
in the eyes of the world" We trust that our read
ers will read them with the same indulgence, and
enjoy them with the same unsophisticared taste
which we have brought to the humble recital.

enough; and we gave her the real, sweet, good
milk inst from the cows bag. We kept bite for
every one; whatever we had, every other was well
come to in those times--ether in war peace"
"Graham sat up when the English woman came
in. His dress was exactly that of British officer.
He did not look so desperate. We had washed off
his clothes and boots, and dried them for him. So
the English woman told him, as soon as she got
back to Charlotte, she would send one of the best
surgeons to him; and that he should not want for
| good attention. So little more was said.
HShe then cithercted me to set her on the road to
Charlotte; and put her past all cow-tracks, to keep
her from getting lost. So | never heard more of
my woman. The British never got out further from
Charlotte in that direction again. They were bother
ed too much by the infantry that kept shooting at
them, being strewed abou, thick in the woods. The
British thought mighty hard Of this They said, if
our folks would have stood in the battle, 1t would
have done very WE'LL but they thought mighty hard
to be shot down that way Graham had steered his
road through the woods from the place where he
was wounded, making for his mothers house
near Copp's Hill, on the Beatties-ford road.
! uWhen came back he was walking oyer tho
house. and said, AS long as he had made life
escape Of it, he would try and get of. He did not
want any Of her doctors;' and he said must show
him his road too So went with him two miles
through the woods, on the way to his mothers.
He did not know the nigh paths and tracks well
| as did; and I could take him the shortest way.
| He had FIVE miles to walk, when left him. The
longer he walked, the better he walked; and heard
he got safe home, and afterwards to headquarters,

pora hat the Morafons were still pre-
pairing for battle, that they had determined
to reject the propositionof the Mornlons to
remove next spring, so soon as tae grass
may be high enough to sustain their stock

out, of the country at an earlier perIod
would be the height of injustice aud The
extremeof cruelty. :,
