LATE FROM TEXAS.

There is at present very large party ofthe
Prairie Indians assembled on the head waters
of the Brazos, consisting Of all the upper bands
Of Camanches, Kioways Yam-pa- h-kas,
Mus -ka-le.ros, &c. They are now organi-
zing for Campaign in the northern provinces
of Mexico, Chihuahua, &c. They propose to
throw several thousand warriors into that
country. Maj. Neighbors could hear nothing
of the difficulties between the Camanches and
Delawares, recently mentioned by some of
the papers in other parts of the State. All the
Indian tribes were perfectly quiet--no diff
culties existing either amongst themselves or
hostile demonstrations against the whites.
Our rangers are now very active and efficient,
and there is no probability of any disturbaHSe.
unless it is created by some unautlsEsfzhd
movement Of our own citizens. A

TuE KINGS OF TnE SOIL.

Black sin may nestle beneath crest,
And crime below n crown;
A. good hearts beat meath a fustinn vest,
As under silken gown.
Shall tales be told OF the chiefs who sold
Their sinews 10 crush and kill,
And never o word be sung or heard
Ofthe men who reap and TILL
bow in thanks 10 the sturdy throng
Who greet the young morn with toll;
And the burden give my earnest song
Shall bn shis-TnE KINGS or THE Soil!
Then sing for the kings who have no crown
But the blue sky DER their head
Never Sultan or Dew had such power a. they,
To withhold or offer bread.
Promo ships mny load both silver and gold,
The wealth Of distant strand:
But ships would rot, and be valued not,
We're there none to till the land.
Tho widest heath, and the wildes, brnke
Are rich as the richest fleet;
For they gladden. the wild. birds " hen they wake,
And give them food TO cnt.
And with willing hand, and spade, and plow,
The gladdcning hour shall come,
When that which 10 callcdshe sswasie-!and" now,
Shall ring with the ''IIarvest Home"
Then sing Tor the kings who have no crown
But the blue sky DER their head
Never Sultan or Dcy had such fowcr as they
To withhold or offer bread.

Another Republican Incident.

England must take ca re-France has
design upon her, France is very friendly
courteous and sincere. France means n
mischief. But France will yet becom
the deadliest foe of the British monarchy
she will kill it with kindness. What gle
rious revenge France will have for all tn
successes OF British arms, all the iasolenc
of British vain glory, in becoming the di
rect instrument Of British emancipation
and that, too, by moral influence of pop
ular l,betry, without firing shotted gur
'to fright the isle from its propriety.'
The other day, q little party from
France paid a visit on their own hook, tc
London, looking at the 'lions;' and amongs
others, made call upon that tamest Of the
genus, the Lord Mayor of London. The
visit was precisely la Ameracane, and
the party consisted of t10elre hundred ol
the National Guards of Paris, each paying
his own expenses, but clubbing for con.
venience, just as our citizen soldiery and
fremen visit from city to city. Their ap-
pearance in London excited great interest;
at the Mansion House, although unprepar-
ed for such party, English hospitality was
somewhat ct fault, the proceedings were
quite refreshing. AS for the eating, how
ever, the republicans didn't care for that

ware Of them. Twelve hundred repa,asrss
citizen soldiers loose in the streets of s.gsssl

tabulary, and. why were net the bridges

Those twelve hundred will be followed
by twelve hundred more who will come as
convenience and inclination favors their
purpose, and England will see the day
when she would gladly impose q quaran-
tine upon her republican visitoE-a for Pc
