T FROM TEXAS.

By the arrival at N. Orleans on the 18th
inst, of the steamship Galveston, the Delta
received Galveston papers to the llth.-
There is nothing later from the army. A
rumor was in town of a battle having been
fought between General Taylor and the
Mexicans; but no such news had reached
Galveston at the time the steamship sailed,
and the report is probably without founda-
tinn.
Gen. Paroles had issued a circular pro-
hibiting the expression of any opinion, by
the public press, relatingt to any change in
the form of government.
Don Nicholas Bravo had been appointed
Governor of the city of Mexico.

tits amusing to hear some of those little papers
which cIamored so londly for 81 Q 40 now talking
about the country's fast settling down on 49,
They have got the cue atlast. But it seems to us
that if a man has a head of his own he ought to
use it; and not suffer himself to be made a mere
automaton to be moved at the will of another. If
our title up TO 81 o 40m. was good one month
ago, it is good yet.

We are anXlously looking Tor news fronshsA
my near the Rio Grande, 1t was expected by
some that Gen. Taylor would be attacked By the
Mexican forces in his vicinity. They made .
show of disputirg his passage by pompous men
aces; but always took care to get out of the wsy
when the army came up. A number of young
men were anxious to enlist under his banner as
volunteers; but as he had no authority from his
government to receive then, hegaSe them to un-
derstandthat they would have to fight o their svn
responsibility and under their own leaders.
There seems to beiconsidsrable doubt whs

sneering innuendo? Why not speak in plain
language the wishes of your heart; and say
you hope the democrats will get into a
snarl? You cannot calculate upon success
against the chosen leaders Of the whole
democratic party, and therefore you are
peering about with a magnifying glass for
doubts and difficulties in our ranks. You

THE PILOT-BOAT RONIER.

This vessel, whose mysterious departure
for England in February, gives rise to SC
much conjecture, has returned to n. York,
and with her return the whole mystery is
explained. She was chartered, it seems, by
tine New York Tribune and Sun, and by
the Philadelphia North American and Led
ger, as an express vessel: and i'll this ca2ac-
Iity drought over papers for those offices on
Ily. Her appearance on the other side of
the water excited as much curiosity as her
departure from our own shores. She ar
rived at Crook, and the bearer Of despatch
es Immediately left for London. A Crook
paper says: "On her arrival With the Amer
|ican flag flying at the masthead, a Lieu!en-
ant of her Nfaiesty's Vanguard was des.
patched with orders, as we understand,
from the Admiralty, to requiIo TINT the flag
should a: once be taken down. Captain
Mcguire, of the Romer, received the Brit
fish officer with much courtesy, invited him
down into the cabin, and having been made
acquainted with the object of his visit, the
Americans reply was characteristic. $50
Ilon," said he. sas | have an arm to pail a
trigger, no man shall dare touch that ilag!''
This prompt reply puzzled the Britisher not
a little. He returned to his ship for furth-
err orders, and in a short time came backto
the American officer with ample apology to
the officer, that seeing the vessel so small,
his commander did not think she was an
American vessel, and that the flag Of that
nation had been used without authority
So the matter ended.-[Mo. Republican.

That the exclusive right of jurisdiction

this resolution to the Government of the
United States, and to our Senators and
Representatives in Congress.
Mr.. EDITOR: l am informed that Judge
Edwards, of Bowling-Green has consented

is no good reason, in my opinion, why he
should not receive the cordial support Of al
parties for that station. He has performed
the duties Of the office well heretofore; he
is in every way well qualified; and ! think
that the people Of Pike county should look
more to the qualifications of a man than to
his popularity as a partizan, when they
make sele ctions for county Judges. I,for
one, will support Judge Edwards, and any
other two men as well qualified ashe is, be
their politics Democratic or Wing.
