PATRIOTIC LETTER FROM GoyERoR HoUsToN
The Galveston Civilian of February 2lst has
the following:
We understand that General Houston has
been for some days at his place on Galveston
Bay preparing place of retirement for his
old pge He arrived there last Friday, but
Travelled in the most private way, and avoid
ed all Interference with the prese It political
agitation. lie does not, however, We under
stand, wish by any meai :, to be considered
as one of those eleventh hour converts to Sc
cession, so many of whom are now claiming
their reward. The Austin lnteligencer has
been permi ted to publish the following cX
tract from a letter written 10y General lIous-
ton to All old friend, which defines his posi-
tion thus:
you say it is reported that | am for seces-
sion. Ask those who say SO to point to a
word of mine authorizing the statement !
have declared myself in favor of peace, of
harmony, of compromise, in order to obtain
fir expression OF the Will OF the people
Dangerous as may be the precedent inaugura-
ted 10y the Convention before the majesty of
the law, which recog izes its power TO sub
nit the question of disunion to the people. |
yield in the same spirit that actuated Andrew
jackson in paying the fine arbitrarily inn
posed on him at New Orleans. | am deter
mined that those who would overthrow law
shall learn no lesson from me- | still believe
that secession will bring ruin and civil war
Yet if the people will can bear it with
them. | would tain not be declare : an alien
from my native nome in old Virginia, to the
scenes of my enry tolls and triumphs IN II, lie
Tennessee. | would not of my own choic,
give up the banner tenesn n which | have
fought; the Constitution which have revel
ed, or the Union which | have loved and
cherished as the glorious and priceless her-
tnge bequeathed me by my fathers. Sixty
seven years of freedom, the recollection of
past triumphs and sufferings, the memories of
heroes whom have seen and known, and
whose venerated shades would haunt my
footsteps were to falter now, may perhaps
have made me too devoted to the Constitu-
tion and the Union but be it So Did be-
lieve that liberty and the rights of the South
demanded the sacrifice, would not hesitate.
believe that less concessions than was nee
essary to frame the Constitution will now
preserve it, Thus believing, cannot vote
for secession. | have hesitated to say any
tn ng on this topic because desire the peo-
pie to act for themselves My views are on
record Yet it is perhaps but right that my
friends should know that the charge that
am for secession is fa.se. If err in holding
on still to the skirts of my venerated old
mother, Virginia, and the foster-molher
which matured me from boyhood, glorious
Tennessee. my countrymen will forgive me,
as they have forgiven me for many other
things | have done. am willing even to be
called a submissionist for their sake"

A SpLEcu For THE UMoN.-The rhetoric
and the meaning of the following conclu-
ding portion of the late speech of Senator
Chase, Of Nevada, are excellent;
If there is phrase that would be a syno-
nyma for state bankruptcy, political insig-
uiicanee and national impotence, it is that
phrase, "A Pacific Republic
| will only further say that whatever may
be the result of the existing difficulties, !
hope and believe that California will stand
under and 10y the Flag of this Union and if
it should be hereafter recorded "that some
stars had shot madly from their Spheres let
us not so much mourn for that which is lost
as rejoice in that which is left The peiad
may depart from the heavens, but the con-
stelation will remain The American Flag,
"striped with martyrs blood and gittering
with the stars of lofty promise" sweeping
our thoughts, our sentiments. our aspira-
tions to wider spheres of influence, glory
and liberty, OH let no spoiler here in this
our chosen, cherished land, seek to strike
down. Let it ever he seen "in the morn's
early light" and "at twilight's last gleom-
ing floating over o,r cdpitoL
Let US give no heed to the dull concep-
tions and sordid sentiments of those who
would substitute the cactus and the bear
indications of a desolate land of savage
life, for the pure ever shining and beautiful
cublems that originated in the brilliant ge-
Mus, the burning PATRIOTISM the lofty de
sign Of our illustrous Revolutionary Faith
ers Let California still beam n star, no soli-
tary star upon the Pacific Sea, and amid the
radiant light of her sister stars that cluster
around her, blend her rays with their rays
and amid them and with them forever shine.

INA BAD BoX.-Some twenty or thirty
young men Of leisure were engaged yesttr-
day morning, on the banks of the Yuba, in
throwing stones at four or five chickens that
were seated on logs, some fifteen or twenty
yards out in the river, the same having been
on dry ground an hour or two before. After
raining several bushels of stones at the BIZ
peds, one of them took water and swan
ashore, with all the case Of practiced navi-
gator. The river rose higher and higher, and
the rocks still danced around the chickens
heads Another one was killed ust as he
reached the bank, and taken captive by one
of the wreckcrs. a third mounted a barrel
which came floating by, but, it being diff
cult of footing, soon abandoned it for the
water and struck for the shore. His perse-
cutors, however, drove him back into the
brush, and there stoned him to death cruelty.
The remaining fellows sat on the swaying
log with the utmost dignity and unconccrn,
until chance shots took them off also, and
that was the end Of the sport
We presume that rare fun might have been
had with a boat and gun, or dogs, looking
for hare in the new made islands in the wide
waste Of waters that were stretched out yes
terGay morning to the south aud cast OF the
city. Rabbits and hares must have been
congregated in those places in great num-
bers. Restaurant keepers might make a

Of sight, but came up again blowing like II
porpoise, and made for shore, where he soon
stood in safety. Being asked what he meant
by such conduct, he said he mistook the
leaves and brushwood in the eddy for dry
