FROM TExAs.-By the arrival O
the steam ship Globe we have re
ceived Galveston papers to the 4tt
inst.
.s H. Stuart has been re. elected May.
or Of Galveston.
The Austin State Gazette says il
is rumored that Gen Brooke is max
ing arrangements at an early day to
set in motion a strong expedition
against the Indians. whose continued
annoyances and outrages render il
necessary 10 adopt some such decisive
measures, or abandon the frontier to
their mercy. Ii is contemplated ia
place the expedition under the com.
mand Of Gen. Harvey. who had left
for San Antonio TO confer with the
commanding general on the subject.
{. The San Antonio Ledger Of the
18th ult. says:
From DR.. kingsbury we learn that
on last Saturday four men Of Captain
McCown's company Of volunteers,
going from Musebach's to their camp,
came across some Indians, driving of
horses. The Indians fed on seeing
the men, and the horses ran of; none
had been recovered when he left. II
10 probable that these were the horses
stolen from the Civic on Thursday
night last. and that they will be re-
covered. go
The Mexicans attribute most Of the
Indian depredations in the vicinity o.
the Rio Grande to the management
of Wild Cat.

The Gazette will soon achieve a brilliant fame
for its discoveries. The editor has found out that
Kentucky ''for years past has shown demonstra-
tions of taking her appropriate position in the
democratic line" and coasratulates himself and
the democracy, that she has done so at the late
election.
The quiet self complaccncy with which he nj
.ters this announcement, proves him to be quite
anadept in the game that children sometimes play.
called ssrakc beliere." He performs his part ad-
mirably; spectators would not know but his de-
light was all real, and that he actually felt and
believed all he says, il they were moi informed
that it was only an exhibition. lie deserves spe-
cial commentator for that part of his perform
ance where he undertakes TO give the public The
s.immediate causes, of the revolution in Ken
lucky That State, says the Gazette, '>is devot-
ed to the perpetnity of the American Union. She
desires to remain the geographical centre Of that
Union, and loathes the thought of ever becoming
frontier State upon the borders of hostile con-
federacles." Ergo. Kentucky has taken position
in the democratic line.
This looks very plausible it must be confessed!
The reasoningis this: the whig party at the South
are so bent on s1disunon and secession;' they are
80 hostile to the Constitution and the Compromise
measures-they regard the Union as such bur-
den and oppression to them, that Kentucky low
ing the Union and the Constitution, and adher-
ing to the Compromise measures, cannot remain
any longer in fellowship with the wings, but must
Join the democracy, that Union and Constitution
loving party, that is doing so much in the South
10 elect Union men, Governors of their States, to
Congress and the Legislature! We commend the
people Of Kentucky for their patriotism, and the
editor OF the Gazette for his sagacty!
he should next give his readers the rationale of
the process by which the democratic platform
OF iS4s," has produced such harmony among the
democracy of the South. How it is that it has
made the democratic candidates for Governor and
Congress in Mississippi and the South such ar
Aest friends Of the Compromise measures ard
such enemies of secession. How it is that such
democrats as Quitman, Davis, Brown, Thomp-
son and others are stumping their States in favor
q the Compromise and the Union, and that Gen.
f0ote has become such an advocate of secession
and disnnion! The task, we think, would be ca
syto tie Gazette. Quite as easy as TO tell how
Mr CT J has ceased 10 be whig, and Kentucky
gone ns to democracy!

Tho Ossette and Mr. Corvin.

The Gazette continues its hostility to the Sec
rstary Of the Treasury. II has dropped its first
charge against him, however, of having been alb
ent from his post at Washington sat least half
H. time" since his appointment; and without
having the magnanimity to correct its mis-state-
ments, or acknowledge its error, it changes both
its ground and its mode of attack Learning
little caution from the exposure of its unjust
complaints, it hesitates to place its charges d.
,eainst Mr. Corwin in any tangible shape, and sat-
i,6cs itself with vague surmises and doubtful in
uendoes, that may amount to little or much, as
the taste or conscience of the reader may prompt
him to construe them. What an illustration of
the desperate expedients to which locofocoism
win resort, in its efforts to hunt down the char
acter Of public man!
We do not intend to follow the Gazette in its
descent into the sewers and drains Of party filth.
when il viii present its charges against Mr. Cor
win in some shape ''palpable to feeling and to
seuse,n we will endeavor to reply to them, and
rescue, if we can, an honorable name from unde-
served detraction and reproach.
Does the Gazette, then, mean to charge that
Nj Corwin retained an interest in the Gardiner
claim, after his appointment as Secretary of the
Tteasury2 Does it charge that he used any in-
Auence personal or official, with the commission
ers, after his appointment, to secure favorable
decision upon the claim? Does il charge that
Mr. Corwin received 1000 for his interest in
Il? Win the Gazette be good enough to put its
insinuations in such shape, that it may be held
responsible for them if they are shown to be un-
true and without foundation?
Ii the editor does not, what will the communi-
" think Of this attempt at making political capi-
tai? at this method of attacking the character of
public man on the vaguest rumor? Here the
gravest suspicious are intimated against Mr. Cor
win, which have no other foundation than sur
mise and conjecture. No authority for them is
which would lead one to suppose that either the
authors or endorsers believed them to have the
slightest foundation in truth Does the Gazette
know that the Gardiner claim was fraud? Has
not the question Of fraud in the claim, and per-
Jury of Gardiner in sustaining it, to be tried be-
fore the courts?
II the claim was fraudulent one, and the Gov
ernmeni has been swindled out Of half million
Of dollars by fraud and perjury, we trust that the
guilty ones whoever they may be, win be made
10 undergo the severest punishment of the law.
But we object to any differences whereby innocent
persons may be implicated. Mr. Corwin long
since cleared himself from any connection with
the affair, SO far as twas possible for person TO
do; and the future investigation of the case if
one is had, will show that his character is nn-
stained with the slightest nge of corrupt action.
If there is sincerely honest man in the country,
and one who is above all suspicion Of fraud, that
man is Thomas Corwin.
