The San Antonio Ledger Of the list inst, il
reference to certain ominous military prepare
tions. says:
On Thursday evening last an express arrivet
in our city from Gen. Smith, at Corpus Christi
commanding all the troops at our different post
to rendezvous at San Antonio ut the earlies
possible moment. At nine o'clock in the even
ing the order was received by Assistant Quar-
termaster Major Belger, and by ten o'clock tn,
same evening SIX messengers were speeding OF
their way with the tidings of rendezvous. Thil
order and this dispatch is ominous. We snuff
afar the breeze of battle, and ringing in oul
ears is the clang Of arms. 1t, to our mind, wher
taken in connection with other circumstances
| is the tocsin of war.
