distant not more than forty miles, which can

great odds. The editor Of the Democrat saws
many suppose resistance will be made, but he
does not know where the Mexicans can raise
troops to give battle anywhere on the route TO
Chihpahua. He, however, admits that il is
rroblematcal whether the necessary Drovi.
sions and forage can be procured after CROSSING
the Rio Grande. The editor is himself at San

complaints OF irregulariiy in giving and exc
cutting orders, &c.
Such are the reports Of the Texas papers; we
received no papers by the Neptune, and copy

of any lot unsold, and common politeness rem
ders it necessary that the kind offer thus lber-
ally made, should be accepted. The probable
reason why this thing is not attended to by the
military, no doubt grows out of the fact that
the Sharp Shooters, now no longer regularly
organized as military corps, stepped forth and
engaged in the undertaking, without asking aid
of any of the regularly organized and efficient
volunteer companies Of the city. trust, sirs,
that the offer made by the officers Of the Gem
etery will be attended to, and that the reno
val will take place some time during the next
month.
Some may ascribe the strong desire | have
that this thing should be accomplished to a
singular monomania on the subject. But, after
all, if they will only reflect, they will doubtless
be brought to the conclusion that it is equally
as rational-to say no more in defence of the
measure-as the proposition made in our State
Legislature few years ago, to present the son
of Gen. ARMIsTEAD with sword as a token of
the esteem IN which the memory of his father
was held by that body.
Conscious that "regimentals" and the eva
wing plume" would in no wise become so ill.,
looking parsonage as myself have never
entertained an idea OF becoming attached to
military corps. If, however, any thing could
induce me to become member of one of our
excellent companies, it would only be to ac-
compIish what have declared to be the duty
of the military. B.
