FROM THE ARMY IN TEXAS.

The Union Of the Sih inst, officially announces
that dispatches from General Taylor, as Ia'e as
tho 2Glh August, have reached tho War depart
mcnt by Express, and then proceeds to give Inc
substance of tho intelligence received, which OeihS

General Taylor has, at no time since his arrivo |
at AIansas Bay, felt any solcitude for tho safety
of his command, or the necessity Of calling tor
auxiliary force, even from Texas. The two gal.
Iant companies of artillery, which, with such
promptness aud patriotic spirit, volunteered to go
To Texas fom New Orleans, under the belief that
their country stood in uccd Of their services, have
arrived at General Tay yor's camp. As there las

A Fearful Dealh'bed,

The last day of the last month, a, even.
ing twilight, in distant par OF the land,
we stood by the dealhbed of Col. b. He
was dying of that fearful malady, the de-
lirium tremens. His mortal and immor-
ia! part lay in ruins. We had known
him partially in years gone by, when his
vigorous youth was ripening into man
hood. A long time had now elapsed since
we had seen him. But what a change in
that manly frame, and in his moral and
intellectual condition He had been
hard drinker. Alcohol, that bane of NOR
tails, had poisoned his body, and was drink,
ing up his spirit. Fond of military ex-
hibitions, and ambitious of distinction in
that line, he loved the sound OF MARTA,
music, aud The gorgeousness of military
trappings, and the excitement produced by
strong drink. His career was soon run.
and the closing scene was one of deep
sadness and gloom. His tired nature had
given several admonitory warnings 10 the
inhabitants within, TO beware Of the fear,
full crisis. But the tangs Of ungoverned
appetite had fastened their grasp TOO
strongly on his frame TO yield to the voice
of reason, or to the appalling danger. For
several days before we saw him, reason
had swung off from her moorings, and his
terrified mind beheld all around, the spec
tacIe of fearful sights, Invisible 10 all eyes

From the Morning Herald.
HORRIBLE !

Mr. EDIToR:-The following fact
state on good authority. 1t is some-
thing more than slave mothers being
compelled to bury her own dead child!
Willthe Louisville journal tell US some
foreigner did ths2
My brother and sister have Just re-.
turned from the South where they have
spent the last Two years. OF the many
facts which clicked from them illusirat>
ing the barbariles oil the slave system,
will here relate but one. 1t trauspired
near Oakland College, Miss A slaves
holder, a short time previous TO his death,
made provisions for The Liberation of his
slaves. Those who were entrusted with
the execution Of his designs failing, or re.
fusing 10 carry out his last will and tesla
.ment concerning the slaves, the latter be-
came FESTIVE and impatient to enjoy their
long looked for boon. At length, disap.
pointed, expecting TO be sold, and incensed
at their oppressors, they sci fire 10 the
overseer's dwelling and burnt it 10 the
ground. A little child, which they were
unable to rescue, was consumed n the
flames. The slaves, eight or nine in mum.
Der, were taken, and two of them hung up
on the spot, Tie others were taken into
an old log house and chained TO the floor.
The house was then set on fire, and these
poor victims of American slavery, after
having been degraded, deprived of educa-
ton, Of liberty, of the fruit of their labor
and of all their rights, were, by slow fire,
burned to death in this most shocking man.

avaiIing shreks and screams,

much Intercourse with them during and
after the great convention Of l843, we
came TO the conclusion that they we're
among The wsest aud most trustworthy of
living men. They have great weight
with The leading statesmen Of England,
ana this they preserve, under all admins

vot'on to what is right, without ever going
beyond what is practicable and prudent
We cannot but anticipate good results, in
both these respecrs,as well as in promoting
the cause of piety and peace in The coun.

1t is worthy of remark, as showing the
progress Of the anli-slavery cause, that
when Joseph Surge, in l64l, felt moved
10 make visit TO this country for similar
purposes, the meetings in Englond were
not prepared to give the customary sane

QUAKER EMBASSY.

Many OF our readers are aware that
finally, q separation, in the Indiana vear-
ly meeting OF Friends, on account of slave
~ aud abolition. A number of important
members became quite Jealous in favor OF
abolition, while mos OF the official leaders
were opposed 10 The movement. The di>
vision has created great anxiety among
Friends, and particularly among those o
the London Yearly Meeting; for, being
themselves prominent and active abolition,
isis, it could not but be grievous TO see the
ecclesiastical power Of the society in This
country employed to put down what they
were so earnestly laborng 10 ADVANCE
And, on the other hand, they We're reucl-
antto counlenance what seemed TO be a
breach OF religious order by the abolition
seceders.
This matter has been three or four years
under agitation. We are happy TO learn
that, a, Length, the London Yearly Meet
inc have resolved TO send deputation Of
their wisest and best men to the United
States, for the purpose of at once endeav>
oring to heal the division in Indiana, and
of stirring up the minds OF the body OF
Friends in this country 10 more direct and
active efforts in the cause of emancipa-
lion.
Among the persons selected for this i'm.
porlant mission, we are gratified 10 Learn
the names of Josiah Forster, formerly clerk
of the Yearly Meeting, William Forster,
who was in This country twenty years ago.
and who procured the preparation OF Judge
Slroud's book on the law Of slavery, and
George Stacey, the present clerk OF the
Yearly Meeting. These gentlemen are
among the most eminent of the society, the
cIerksbip being the most responsible and
honorable office Of that church, and are all
