reply TO our article relative to the county

His assertion that all offer was made to the
Commissioners to DO the blanks for rs cents is
false, rs the commissioners themselves well know.

The poor pitiiul "galphiuv who writes
for the Eagle would thus reply to an ar
gument. by slalipg falsehood, aud this
fasehood is all it has to say in defepce
Of the Commissioners and ID. A. Robert
son. When men have to be defended by
a plain. Palpable lic, they are most cer-
tainly in the wrong. We never said an
offer was mado to the Commissioners to
print blanks at IS cents per quireg What
we did say was that, il such an offer was
made, we considered it their duty 10 ac-
cept il. The Commissioners, if they
have read our article, ,ciH kaOw this state
mentto be true. and can transfer the a,
bove epithets 70 their BOBBY editor. They
should be ashamed of him and his de-
fence. psJ a ). =. -
The Eagle has most likely failed in
getting out Of us what 1t desired. But
for its information and the information of
the Commissioners. we will merely re-
mark that we can make money by printing
the assessors blanks for fifty cents per
t guire aud would be anxious 10 receive
all such jobs. The Eagle gets S1,OO.
THE MILITARY MOVEMENTS IN Texas
The people of Texas continue much ex-
cited about The Santa Fe affair, and seem
determined to take armed possession at
once. Gov. Bell has issued commissions
for the raising of troops to persons in al.
most every county. The following from
letter of Col. Thomas NJ. Likens to
Gov. Henderson, is a specimens: !,
II shall. by virtue of commission
which hold from Gov. Bell, enroll and
r organize company of one hundred men
for the Santa Fe expedition. on the 9th
inst Should ten or twelve clever fellows,
we'll mo uunted. oWmules, from your coun-
ty, meet ne on that day, they shall not be
disappointed in getting situatiOns-please
, let me know"
Another is as follows; ~
r "In obedience tn an order from his Ex'
cellency the Governor, Lam commission
ed to enroll and orgonize full compa-
y r ny, TO number in the aggregate one hun
u dred men to be received and enrolled re.
speclively from certain counties 50 that
all portions of the Stats. may participate
in military expedition to Santa Fe, to
!, support the tights Of the State to the dis
q hputed territory. Therefore, notice ii

rs As the Indians on the Texas frontier
80 continue to be very troublesome, it il
~ very probable that our new and sister
n State had better apply her military ener.
It gies in that quarter.
