TEXAS ITEMS.

TEAAS ITEMS.
Great Democratic Raily.-The Democra-
cy Of Texas are invited to the grand Bar
bccue, to be given at Bolton on the I'd and
Sd, Nov. The public generally, and the
people of Dallas especially are invited to
attend. We hope to hear of q general rush
ing to the Barbecue, and of good times
among the faithful.
B6S- The citizen soldiers, says the Bolton
Democrat, are again victorious in another
battle with the Indians, under the command
Of Capt. Stockton. The fight occurred north
east Of Fort Chadbournc, in which three In
dian scalps were taken.
Bay" The Press speaks in glowing terms of
the able speech made at. Paris, by Col. NJ
D. Graham. The Press says it was annihi-
lating to the Fusionists, aud that the Court
House could not hold the immense crowd
that gathered to hear the gifted orator.
R6-The Galveston News says, "the two men
recently arrested at Indianola, as fugitives
from justice, from Arkansas, and taken
back have been hung by persons unknown
near San Antonio-they were horse thieves"
1t will be remembered by some of our citi-
zens that their pursuers passed through this
place, and that one of them is likely to re-
verse positions, becoming the pursued in
stead of the prsuer. If this should meet
his eye, let him take warning and come
back
Bkas' Gen. Waul addrc ssed the citizens
of Brazoria, in one of his ablest efforts, on
the 9th inst. A large crowd was in atten-
dance, and every one united in pronoup-
cling it one of the greatest speeches made
during the canvass. The company dispers-
cd feeling that Gen. Waul had been SLAM
dered by those who have styled him fire.
eater, disunionist, &c. 1t takes something
more, in these days of trial, to establish
such charges, than ardent devotion to ones
country and the principles of the Constitu-
ton. The Democrat and Planter does not
believe that there is a Douglas man in Bra
zoria county.
Bas" A few of the Fusion Missionaries
threaten to invade the frontier counties and
discuss Fusionism, Bellism, Douglasism,
and many other isms. Last year, these same
men preached Houstonism to the Frontier,
and now behold the fruits of their crusade,
in the state of affairs, out West. The From
tiersmen were then beguiled into believing
and trusting,-will they do it again, when
the object is to defeat Breckenridge and
Lane, and inaugurate new party with all
the rottenness of the old opposition that
was consigned to its grave in, august last ?
We hope not The resurrection has too
rnucn O., "the old man" to deceive again.
pn AS Dead Sea fruits turn to ashes
on the lips" so has Houstonism turned to
gall and NORWOOD on the lips Of our suf-
fering frontier neighbors. Those wander
ing orators of the Opposition school have
got new dodge against the Democracy
Fusion is now the specious cry; and as the
trick originated with the Houston party, VIC
would recommend to the Frontier that this
Opposition bauble be pricked, and then see
if some Houston man does not cry out that
he is hurt.
kd5- In the late contest between the anti
Base Line Rangers and the Indians, James
Lane was MORALLY wounded, fighting gal
lantly in the front rank of his men. lie was
left at Camp Cooper, under the care of Maj,
Morris, who showed him every attention
and kindness. The wounded man has since
died.
Death Of the Gallant Lanc.-This hero
died four days after Captain Currenton left
him in the charge Of Major Morris, the Com
mandant of Fort Chadbourne, He is re-
ported to have never let sigh or groan es-
cape his lips; he died as only heroes can
die He was kindly cared for at the Hospi-
tai, and the Commandant of the Fort SO
much admired his resignation, that he gave
him military burial.-Whit Nan.
In the recent Maine election, the Bell and
Everett party polled 1900 votes; the DEM
ocrats 40, 900; the Black Republicans co.
600. In Arkansas, the Bell men, in one
district could not put up a candidate for
Congress, in the other they did, and their
vote was not 300 Yet they claim to be a
