passed bill approprlating three hundred thou

cd and the House viii doubtless pass ii also The
House to-day agreed 10 adjourn ON tina 9th Feb
ruary but the Senate has not debated on the
subject. The principal topics here are the course
Of Gov. Houston in relation 20 the oullawed
murderors on the Rio Grande frontier, and his
veto of two very just bills, tho one giving longer
time to the purchasers of University Lands to
pay their lrsl installments tho other giving the
Tre empiionists one ycar'ionpcr, in which to 70.
turn their fednotes, induced and rendered just
and necessary, by the late drouths and the sullar-
ing by Indian depredations. Ills veto OF this
last humane and generous act for the relief of u
class, all Of whom arc poor, and many of whom
have been pilaged and robbed by Indians, shows
plainly that Gov. Houston still maintains his old
time prejudice against the pioneers OF the c0un-
try--the same which in the days OF the old Re.
public always rendered lin so justly unpopular
with the frontier people, Ills course in regard
to frontier protection has given intense dissatis-
faction to all tho frontier representatives, and
frontier people now here. Instead Of calling out
companies OF 80 men, according 10 the law, he
has called out one OF 90 and two of 80 men each
one of the captains living in Austin and the 9TH
er two % miles from tin other words, only
100 men and all OF them from one neighhorhoOd
He has refused to receive any company, or have
any men raised on the frontier. Companies, |

Hammer, of Jack county; Capt. Baylor, Buc-
hanan Cnpt Garland, of Erath Capt. Cook,
Of Corcyelle, and Capt Keen, OF Hamilton, all
living on the frontier. N all refused! believe

their constituents in this crisis and openly de-
nounce and wash their hands of Gov. Houston
and his Pet or Feeding policy, which has for
ycars devastated the frontier and ruined hun
dreds of families. 1t said that Gov. Houston
earnestly asserted a few daos ago to Senator,
representing large frontier constituency that il
eight thousand Citizens of the frontier were to
swear that the late Texas Reserve Indians had
stolen horses OF killed white people he Governor

Indian character too well to believe any such
thing, &c "A gentleman from an gu side coun-
ty where Gov. Houston got all but eight or ten
votes, who arrived here to-day, says he could not
now get ten votes in that same county, and that
tho people feel outraged ut such treatment from

is also said that the Governor intends to go
North of Red River in the Spring, and hold II
grand brotherly talk with the red skins, distrib-
ute presents and make IL treaty. This, think,
's certainly his intention from all can learn,
and ii he succeeds, every old rexiAn knows that
ruin and devastation will he the final consequence
on our frontier settlements. 1t always has and
always will be the case, till the Indians thor

On the 2lst the Governor sent into the House
certain resolutions Of South Carolina defining
her position in regard to aboitionism and State
Rights, accompanied by long homily, advocat
ing submission, non-resistance to Northern ag-
gression, &c, &c, which is regarded here by al
