From Texas.

WILD CAT GONE OVER TO THE MExI-
CANS. The latest accounts from Texas state
that Il large number OF Indians have collected
around the head waters Of the BrazoS, great
portion OF them with evidently hostile inten-
lions, The War Department had promised
them $4,000 OF presents; but the bill did not
pass last session, and it was unable to comply
Fearing disturbance, Gen. Houstan, preyi-
DUSTY to leaving Texas, directed the Messrs
Torleys at ToTey's Trading House, to pay
over to them presents to the amount OF $50,
900, on his own responsibility. This has had
the effect Of quietng q great number.
But since then, Neighbors, the Indian
agent has been there, with Jim Shaw
friendly Deeware-holding talk" wit
them. He finds numbers OF friendly Indians,
driven in by large bands Of Wacos, Pawnee
Mohas and others, who ayow their hostility to
the white man. The latter party have al
ready began TO commit depredations. Over
two hundred head Of horses, have within the
last few weeks, been stolen from the settlers
who are preparing for the worst. The entire
frontier in that quarter is defenceless, and
there can be no doubt that we are on the eve
Ola bloody Indian war The next news from
that region may be Of the most painful char
actcr.
In addition TO this, We learn from undoubt-
ed authority, that Wild Cat, at the head Of
300 mounted Semin ole warriors, has gone
down to Join the Mexcans, and that other
large parties of the different tribes may be
expected to follow his example -Bost. Mail.

TO TIE FRIENDS OF TEMPERANCE
IN VERMONT.

The Total Abstinence Temperance Socie-
| ty of East Bennington for the purpose of Sc
curing, il possible, a full No License vote,
! have commenced q circulation Of the follow
ing pledge for signatures:
IN ORDER TO PROMOTE TEE CAUSE OF
TEMPERANCE,WE DO HEREBY PLEDGE OUR
SELVES TO EACH OTHER THAT WE WILL
VOTE THE No LICENSE TICKET AT THE
COMING ELECTION, N MARCH NEXT, AND
THAT WE WILL USE ALL HONORABLE MEANS
TO INFLUENCE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME"
This pledge they have caused to be placed
in the Lands OF an active and leading friend
of temperance in each school district in town,
requesting him to present the same TO every
voter in his district for his signature, and at
The same time to impress upon his mind the
Importance of the duty resting on himin view
Of the approaching election, and the necessity
of lis being at the polls on that day. Be
lieving from the nature Of the measure itscf,
and from the success which has attended it
in our sister states, that its faithful prosecu-
ton throughout our own commonwealth would
result in like testimony Of its policy aud eff
fciency, they take this method to recommend
it to the earnest attention Of the citizens OF
Vermont
The friends of temperance in this county
have too dearly learned, by the defeat Of last
year, the necessity Of an organized and uni
ted effort in order to ensure success. They
also fear, that unless some plan of this kind
be adopted and pursued throughout the state,
another more extended and overwhelming
defeat will be the result. This measure,
therefore, is earnestly recommended to the
careful attention of every temperance man in
the state, believing that proper cxamina-
ton of it will secure its universal adoption. !
Let each person who receives this paper, see
that this pledge has a thorough circulation in
each school district in his town, and let this
token of good citizenship, and of regard for
the prosperity of our state and the happiness
Of our fellow men, find access to every free
man in Vermont, and who can doubt the re-
suit?
