TEXAS.

The War Department received advices on
Monday from Texas, TO the effect that Gen.
eral Twiggs commander of the United States
troops in that STATE, lad surrendered all the
military property of the General Government
to the State authorities.
If this is really soxit is a change for the bet.
ter. Dhe Governor Of Texas is a Union pa.
triot, while General Twiggs is secessionist, and
has already been elected as the Major General
to command the forces of the Republic Of
Georgia.
It's, however, not probably true. that General
Twiggs has surrendered TO the State authorities,
but to committee of the fevolutionists.
The Star, Of yesterday evening, says:
"On the 9Th Of February instant, he (Twiggs)
appointed commission, consisting Of Major
David Fl. Vinton, (quartermaster,) Major Sack.
field Maeln, (paymaster,) and Captain Rober:
Fl. X. Whitley, Ordinance department. to meet
the commissioners on behalf of the people Of
Texas-Messrs. Thomas S. Devine, Samuel A.
Maverick, and T. N. Luckett--at such time and
place as may be agreed upon, to transact such
business as relates to the disposition Of the pub
lie property, upon the demands of the State of
Texas 1t was on the receipt Of q copy Of this
order here, that Colonel Waite was directed to
assume the command of the department"
The reports to the War Department are, that
this negotiation resulted in an order from Gen.
eral Twiggs to the commanding officers of all
the posts in Texas, some nineteen in number, to
surrender everything, except the means of trans.
porting the soldiers to the coast. Whether this
order will be obeyed, remains to be seen.
The Star says that the Department has no
information that the revolutionsts had any
force at all. 1t would appear, however, from
some newspaper accounts, that they had few
men embodied, but not enough to have com.
PEELED the action of General Twiggs as re.
ported.
Among the items of news in the New York
Tribune Of Monday, are the following:
"The San Antonio Ledger, Of the 23d, is in.
formed that Governor Houston has sent ON ex-
press to General Twiggs to announce that Col
oeel John r. Baylor contemplates descent on
San Antonio, with force of one thousand men,
for the purpose Of seizing the arsenal and other
public property.
"The La Grange True Issue, on the other
hand has news from Gonzales that a regiment
Of men has moved upon San Antonio for the
purpose above set FORTH"
The kilograms which reach here through the
revolutionized region are entirely unreliable,
and it may be some days yet before we know
precisely what has happened in Texas.

A NEW HAMPSHIRE MAN HUNG.
ABBEvILLH, ALA, Feb l3, 1861.

The following slip appeared in the Eufaula
(Ala.) Express;
"A SUspIcIous INpIvlDuAL.-The worthy
captain of the Home Guards arrested man on
last Tuesday, upon complaint made by one or
two of our citizens. The charge was, the use
Of improper language in regard to the acts and
position Of the Southern people at this time.
Some Of the expressions used by this travelling
Yankee were, that Bob Toombs is traitor,
and that the secessionists are thieves and rob.
bers, and that he fully endorsed everything con.
tanned in the Knoxville Wing in regard to CO.
ercion, &c. After the examination, which
of FIVE members of the Home Guards, appointed
to investigate the matter announced as their
decision, that as the individual under arrest
was only guilty Of using improper language,
they would set him at liberty, with request to
settle up his business as soon as possible. An
application Of tar and feathers wouldn't be at
all amiss in such cases. The mans name is
NJ. A. Smith, He is travelling agent for Scovl
& Mead, Of New Orleans, druggists. He will
bear watching. Pass him around"
Mr.. Smith is the travelling agent of Scovl &
Mead, of New Orleans, but q New Hampshire
mau by birth. Mr.. Smith arrived in this place
on Saturday last. The Eufaula Express was
produced. He was identified, and did not deny
his opinions. He was then taken some half
mile from town, and there and then del,b.
erately hung. Now, am secessionist myself;
but utterly object to any such proceedings !;
but am afraid to say so in this place. Mr..
Smiths horse and buggy are still here. He
also had 1856 in money, which is now in the
hands Of the Vigilance Committee. What they
will do with it remains 10 be seen. Some Of
them have suggested that it should be spent
for arms.
A PIous DARKEY.-Aunt Dinah, a negro
woman, soon after having experienced religion,
stole goose, to make merry with her consort
from neighboring plantation. OF course, she
was whipped for the good Of others as well as
of herself. Soon after these circumstances, a
communion was to take place in the neighbor.
hood, and Dinah prepared to 60. Her mistress
demonstrated with her, and mentioned the goose
affair as sufficient reason for her not to offer
herself on such holy occasion to which she
replied, Lor, mssus, amt gwine to turn my
back on my Dressed Massa, for an old goose ! "
IsA BAD STArE.-An old Dutch lady, at a
religious meeting, became very much concern.
ed for her soul, and went about, sighing and
sobbing, and would not be comforted. Upon
being asked by the minister what the matter
was, she replied, " that she couldn't read Eng.
lish, and she was afraid the Lord couldn't under.
stand Dutch"

TIE TARIFF.-The action of the House re-,
ducing the sugar tax one half, and rejecting
the tea and coffee tax, is universally regarded
a. reckless. If the House had imposed d.
rect tax, to meet the public necessities, its con,
duet would have been logical. But to act upon
the assumption that the people are not intelli.
gent and patriotic enough to submit to neces.
sary taxation in some form, is to treat them as
incapable of selfgovernment. In this smer.
sency, the country looks to the Senate.

forty thousand dollars, to be expended by the chair

Hugh w. Peoples. in such manner they may
deem best in support Of the Volunteer Companies

any manner the protection OF the persons and prop
erty Of the citizens of Chatham.
ResOtped, That this tax be collected in obedience
to the act of the General Assembly of North Caro-
lina and in accordance thereto.
Resotred, That the chairman and commissioners

means of the county Of Chatham in its corporate
character for the payment of any sums which said

to borrow, either from banks or individuals for the
purpose aforesaid prior to the collection of the tax
by these resolutions required to be raised.
The vote being taken separately on the above res
olutions, they were unanimously adopted.
The following resolution was then offered, unani-
mously adopted and ordered to be spread upon the
records of the Court:

citizens of this county hereby rendered to his
Excellency, John W. Ellis, Governor of the State,
