NORTHERN MFXICO

The Galveston Ne'os, of the 10th instant has a
letter from its editors, dated New Orleans March
II, from which the following is extract:
For some days past it has been rumored that an
expedition was on foot for revOlutionizing the
Northern States of Mexico, and though nothing
very definite Is yet known, | am in possession of
sufficient information To state that an opportunity
will now be presented to such of our citizens AS wish
to take part in this enterprise, by going out AS emf
grants to assist in laying the foundation of the Sier-
ia Madre Republic.
Colonel Lockridge, who has been in the CITY for a
few days awaiting dispatches from the North, and
who leaves on Sunday for Galveston, has Just hand
ed the enclosed letter, which he wishes publish
ed in the next issue of the Nems, his object in
visiting Texas is to raise many good men and
true as can be mustered by the lst of April, when
1t expected all the plans for the success
fui issue of the expedition will be completed. So
far as can learn, the plan of operations is to avoid
all interference with the neutrality laws, and land
the men IN Mexico as emgrants, without arms OF
munitions of war, which are already route loI
Matamoras, where the first organization is to take
place.
Col. Loekridge informs me that he has been en-.
gagged IN tins movement for some time. and that he
has received the most cordial co-operation OF some
of the leading men at the North where the naces
sary means have been raised; and that whether he
meets with success in Texas or not in nrocnrino
men, the expedition will certainly start aborI tI7
time named in his letter. The States out of wb;c[
the new republic is to be formed are alreaJ, il
open revolution against the Central Government
and have invited assistance from the United States
so that this scarcely be called a flbuster
ing movement, inasmuch as no part of The non
trality laws will be violated. The States hav,
