express arrived from the northern frontier
with call from the authorities on the
county of Sabine to raise forthwith . com
pany of mounted men, and send them on
to defend The frontier of the Indian coun.

arms, or from whom, at least, hostIlItles
were anticipated The express rder in

order--an order for another company Of
mounted men-wilh the authorities OF the
town of ST. Augustine ns he passed there.
There was great excitement along the In
dian frontier. Mr.. Morse says that he
himself conversed with Gardner, and has
implicit confidence in his yeracity.

on that account, especially, DO we, and the
Wings, generally, throughout, the country,

vigilant and determined in this matter.
They should remember that they are &C

whole country-and their exerlions should
be made to correspond 10 the honorable
expectations winch are excited out of the

are entertained that they viii not disap-

Tue BLooDLESS ACHIEVEMENT.
Our readers will recollect that President
Polk in his annual message said q good
deal IN praise of the annexation Of Texas
and among other things he remarked:
"Ths accession 10 our territory has been a
bloodiess achievement. No arm OF iorce Las been
raised to produce the result The sword has no
part IN the victory"
The Louisville Journal remarks that Mr..
Folks glorifcation Of the bloodless q.
chievemen," was little premature. The
mere act Of annexation was bu, the begin.
ming and by no means the finale Of the bu.
slness. IL can be said no longer tina, the
achievement has been bloodless. Blood
has already been shed, aud the prospect
IS that thousands Of lives will be lost be.
fore the results Of annexation are known.
II is highly probable that the Wing pro
phccy IN regard to the results will be full.
filled, and the country will find OUT, when
II IS too late, that Texas will cost much
more than 1t is worth.

they are not willing to approve the conduct

Our Town,

II is truly gratifying to witness the imN
provements going on in our town. Several
large new houses are now going up, and
several new Stores have been opened within
the last week. There are now some thirty
Stores produce, Grocery, and Dry>GOods)
in this place although from an examination
Of our advertising columns persons would
suppose that there were but one or two) in
the full tide Of business-all well filed, and
all constantly receiving and desPatching to
the interior their respective articles Of mer'
chandize. The commerce, too, Of our town
far surpasses the expectation of those who
reside at distance, as there arc annual!
shipped from this place between thirty and
forty thousand bales Of Cotton; besides mer
chandize to the amount Of some two oil
three hundred thousand dollars which i:
landed from steamboats, and stored here fol
towns in the interior. This is the trading
point for nearly all the northern counties
as well as those east of Us, and indeed, it il
not unfrequently the case that planters re
siding in Alabama in the counties adjoining
this Slate, come here during the season 70
Provisions, &c.
The town has also been improved yer!
much of late, by the grading Of its streets
&C., for which, our citizens and those send
ing wagons into town, are indebted 10 th'
energy Of the present Board Of Council
who, since their election, have used ever.
exertion to provide for such improvement
as was deemed actually necessary should b
made.
