The New York reporter Of The associated
press, together with the Washington CORE
spondsnt Of the New York Tinlss, show a
laudable energy in keeping the people Of the
border Statss.iaformed on Texas matters. But
it is.unfortunate for these industrious eircula-
tors Of Blaek-Republiean sensation Dispatch
es, that they have no better authority upon
which to predicate their designing and parti-
san assertions. than the "reports, Of Texas
gentlemen" OF the Sam Houston school, who
have only been aroused from their Rip Van
Wrinkle slumberS BY that vor Popali which has
resouDded through the State like the voice Of
God, calling the dead to judgment. The New
York agent yesterday sem over the wires,
doubtless to the exclusion Of more important
news, the following: The Warrington cor
respondent Of the Timss Gays: Texas gen
tlemen report civil war in that State as ineyi-

ssch condition Of affairs, but on The contrary
represent things as being 50 quiet that the
army bill before the convention had been sup
planted BY a substitute calling cut but one

misconception Of the state If things in Ala
bama as in Texas. The Washington cores
pendent OF the Cincinnati Gazette, BLACK
Republican,, in his dispatches to that paper

conservative member Of The lats Congress,
from Alabama, is in Washington. He repre-
sents the new Government as a fixed institu-
ton, and says that no idea Of reconstruction,
in any event, is entertained. Though be op-
posed seeessionism originally, be now indorsss
the shape which it has assumed in the Con
federate states.o So much for Blaek-Repub-
lcan lies, and the Blsck-Republican channel
through which they are circulated. CSince the
above was in type-at II o'clock last night
we have received sdvices from Texas to the
DIST, and no such contingency IS mentioned as
q difficulty between the people Of Texas in re-
gard to their Federal Confederate or indie
pendent position.
