The ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES IN TEXAS
So much complaint is made by the Texas papers
Of the depredations of the Camanches, that many
persons really believe the frontiers are without any
protection. There are at this moment four regi-
ments (lacking two companies) Of regular troops,
beside two companies Of Texas Rangers. BY a
passenger in the Fashion, we learn that General
Brooke has called for four additional companies Of
Rangers. These troops are stationed in the line
Of posts extending from the Rio Grande on the
West, to the West fork Of the Trinity on the
East, aud from thirty TO eighty miles apart.
There is also a line Of posts on the Rio Grande
from its mouth TO the Paso del Norte, where six
companies are stationed
These military stations are:
San Antonio de BeXar.
Fort Brown, opposite Matamoros.

Mass MEETING IN LowNpEs AND DALLAS
We had the honor of being present, as guest,
at this great and glorious gathering of the true
sons of the South, on last Friday-some two
thousand in number. 1t really did us good to
be in the midst Of so much enthusiasm and zeal
for the cause of the South, and more we never
have seen in any assembly we have yet attended
We have not room this week to speak Of them
as we desire, and will therefore defer our COM
ments until we receive the proceedings. South
ern independence was the watchword, and to this,
out Of that vast assemblage, there was but one
to vote no. God grant that 1t may turn out, as
Judge Mays happily styled it, the Mecklenburg

ANOTHER SOUTHERN NEE TING.-On the 25th
ult, Southern meeting of the citizens Of Coffee
county, in this state, without distinction of par
ty, was held at the Court House. The speak
ers were w. J. Mcbride, p. Tucker Sayre, NJ.
jor Buford, and H. n Crawford. s. Jackson
of Montgomery, offered substitute for the re-
solutions, and delivered speech in favor of it
but it was voted down unanimously. The sub
stitute was somewhat, we should imagine BY
the abstract of it, something like the chowder re-
solutions of this city. A few of the adopted re.
solutions-adopted without dissenting voice
are as follows:
Resolued That the ascendency of the white
race is in fact the issue now presented to the
country, and this ascendency cannot be main
tanned by acquescng in the preliminary assault,
and aggressions of the enemies who mediate its
overthrow. And no persuasion of editors, poll
ticians, or others whose interest or position
mislead their judgments can ever commit us tc
so great an absurdity as that mode of preserving
our rights.
ReSolred, That the weaker and attacked
section can defend itself from common dan.
ger only by common council and concert of nc
ton and these can be obtained by the South
only by meeting together in Southern conven.
ton and if the recommendations of such con
and effectual defence arc impossible, and all is
lost
RESOLVED, That the Southern Convention
lately assembled at Nashville, from the number
talent, and extraordinary ability of its members,
and from the moderation and wisdom of their
councils, is entitled to entire confidence and
we hereby pledge ourselves to sustain all its fu
ture recommendations not inconsistent with its
past action.
Resolred, That each State has the right to
judge for itself of the means necessary to pre-.
serve its vital interest, and as every Southern
State has a common interest with Georgia, they
ought to sustain her in the adoption of such
measures of self defence as her people in conven.
ton may determine her circumstances demand
provided such measures are not inimical to
Southern rights.
Restlred, That the condition of the country
would justify a call of the Legislature by the
Governor, and We recommend the adoption Of
that measure, either now or after the meeting Of
the Southern Convention, as the Governor may
deem most expedient.

MADAME BIsHoP's FIRST SUNDAY CoNcER:

MADAME BIsHoPs FIRST SUNDAY CoNcERT.-
The New York Day Book says that never was
triumph more grand and complete than that
which last Sunday night attended the first great
Sunday evening concert of Madame Anna Bishop.
The magnificent Tripler Hall was filed by up
ward of three thousand people, and it was alto
gether the grandest and most imposing perform
ance, says that paper, ever heard in the United
States The whole Of the music was sacred, be-
ing sublime selections from Handel, Hayden,
and Mercadante. She gives her second sacred
concert next Sunday. Concerts of this class are
much in vogue in Europe, butthere were doubts
as to how they would suit the religious scruples
of our people.

A PARTY OF THIRTEEN FuGrT1vE SLAVES
passed through Tamaqua, Schuylkill county, last
Friday, en- route for Canada The next day
they were followed ly two individuals, who, en-
gaging the assistance of Il constable, followed
on in their pursuit. The pursuers succeeded in
overtaking the slaves at WiIkesbarre; but owing
to the strong expression of feeling manifested
by the people in their favor, they were forced to
beat hasty retreat. The constable was in
duced to follow them under the impression that
they were horse thieves, but on learning other
wise he refused to render any further co-opera-
tion,-Phila. Ledger.

If we are not mistaken old Autauca is riobt

secession beyond doubt, and if the feelinrs d
those we met during court, is to be taken rs
criterion, we feel confident in saying nineteenth,
OF her voting population are in favor of seees
sion, as the only means to maintain the indie
pendence Of the South. The old party lines d
Wing and Democrat have been completely OBJ
liberated, and the people have been merged into
one great Southern party, determined to resist
Northern fanatieism at all hazards, and regard
less Of consequences.
We have heard it said that the old Whid
purity would erdeavor to take I'D the issue uno5

WE are not satisfied with the argument which re-
quires US to give a kingdom for crumb, lest we
get nothing. We know il is urged, in kind
spirit but we feel that it supposes 10 us an utter
destitution OF spirit, or Of brains. Such argu-
ments, coming from our household friends, are
not likely, we think, to secure to US tomorrow,
even "what we can get" to-day. II this 10 the

separate organization, the latter from the late
Syracuse, the former from the still later Utica
Conventions The Free-soil Wings, according
to the number Of their papers and the proportion
of adherents and seceders at the Syracuse Con.
vention, have vast majority.
The Democratic party consists almost equally
of Old Hunkers and Freo-soilers. They have,
like the two divisions of the Wings, formed a
Temporary and hollow truce to obtain the offices
and spoils. Taking the Free-soilers Of the
Wing and Democratic parties, with the Adolf
tionists, they form large majority Of the people
Of that State.
The Anti-renters give about fifteen thousand
votes, and by selecting candidates from the
Wing and Democratic tickets, generally deter
mine the result.
The Land and Labor reform parties have not
yet developed their strength, but have been
organizing for the pending election.
1t is now announced that there is still another
party about to be formed--a conservative party
The policy of this new party is to secure the
balance of power, and being thereby enabled to
give victory to either of the large parties in the
State, to compel both to modify or renounc,
their destructive doctrines, particularly thei
hostility to the South.
The attempt to form such party, the con
fession that it must be small in numbers, so n
only to have balance Of power, is signifcan
admission of the depraved condition of politca
opinion in that State generally. 1t is confes
sion that the great mass Of the people arc nc
longer conseryative-but destructive.
We long entertained the hope that there was
majority of conservatives in a sufficient nun
Der of Northern States to cooperate with thu
South in saving the Union. But the recent ex
traordinary demonstrations of further aggression
in the North, encouraged as it is by so man,
indications of indefinite submission at the Souti
compel us to fear that it is too late.
We hope, however, that the attempt at til
North to establish n conservative party, will b
honestly and resolutely made. We hope
will be based vigorously on the Constitution
for in that case it will receive powerful CO
operation from the South. If it succeeds, tn
triumph will be glorious If it fail, the re.
friends Of Union will be acquitted of respons
bility for the result.
