ABOLITION ACHIEVEMENTS.

The achievements of the mercenaries of Adolf
ton have no parallel in the history of the earth
Here is number
l. Major Anderson ran off from Fort MouItrie in
the night, after destroying all the properly he
could.
2. Lieut.. Slemmer ran away from Pensacola in
the night after he had injured as much property
as possible.
5. Commodore Prendergast ran away from Nor
folk, after sinking several fine ships, spiking some
scores Of gnns, and firing the Navy Yard.
4 The commander of the Abolition forces al
Harper's Ferry, hearing of the approach of the
Virgnians, ran away as fast as possible, first set.
ting fire to the Government workshops.
5. The other day, at St. Louis, The myrmidons Of
Lincoln fred on an unarmed crowd Of citizens
killed thirty three-among whom were several little
girls and boys.
From these facts it is clear that The achieve.
ments of Lincon's Abolition hordes are altogether
unparalleled. Four times they ran away, after
destroying or attempting to destroy valuable prop.
erty; and in the fifth instance, with herosm that
was sublime in its dauntlessness, they fired their
Mimic rifles into q helpless crowd, and succeeded
ia tlaughtering men, women, children and babies,
TO the number Of thirty eight!
And the coward leaders of these towards and
murderers threaten us with snbjugaton! Pallid
with fright, fleeing from the approach of armed
men, and hands red with the blood Of helpless wo.
men and children these are the Abolition braves.
But time will work out a just compensation; and
when our boys have an opportunity to measure
steel with the Abolition enemy Tho massacre at ST.
Louis win be amply atoned for.

Special TO the New Orleans Che cent?
AUSTIN, TEXAS, May 6, 1851
Mr. Etlitor-Since the reception of the news
of the attack on Fort Sumter, our people
have been drawing closer and closer together in
feeling and sentiment; so much SO, that to-day
(with rare exeeptions) we present an unhroken
front to the common enemy. Common danger has
called MS together, and y common cause makes US
present one heart and one arm to the foe. Texas
is now rs one man.
Our whole male population is rapidly being or
gained into military companies, and The whole
State placed on full War-f0oting. The military
ard0r possesses all.
Companies are organizing in every county, and
placing themselves under the orders of the Gov
ernor to march to any designated point at q mo,
ment's warning. The whilome Union men are as
eager for the fray as the Oldest and most Intense
Secessionists. In TRUTH there is but voice here
and that is forwar. Tho old men form themselves
into home and reserve guards for the protection of
the women and children. Texans will do their
duty, their whole duty, to themselves their country
and their God. @, e
Before this reaches you, you will have adQices of
the capture of the Eighth Infantry q. S. troops,
near San Antonio, by Major Van Dorm, of the Con
federate Army. He moved towards them on the
I'd of this month, but as yet we have news of his
success.
Van Dorm will succeed. He to command, and
the Texas boys to fight, there is no such word as
fail" His movements are rapid, secret and effect
i've. Like the glorious Marion, the first ntimation
received by the enemy Of his approach is the clash
ing of swords and the roar Of musketry. Long
may Van Dorm live to lead our brave boys on to
victory and to glory.
From present prospects. the growing crops in
Texas will be full to OVERLOOKING. Enough grain
will be raised to support the present population
for three years. The heavens have become merci-
full, and the gentle showers descend upon our
parehed soil and at last the toll of the husbandman
is ahundantly rewarded.
