The men looked wea;herworn ard travtl-ftaiped b
degree painfully suggestive q the weary march from
the Texan frontiers TO the coast and the subsequent
tossing about stormy sea- They were all WELL
however. and in good spirs. The Second Cavalry
having been stationed in Texas for fyc or SIX years
engaged in the useful bat not very agreeable duty Of
fighting Mexicsn Landitt and marsudng Indians II Is
NOT unreasonable suppose that the ofcers ard men
The officers are very decided IN the opinion that If
the President should send such troops Us he could com

control Of the State It would not do any good The
desperadoes, who now have the control would over
power sny force which Honsion could rally to his
standard As 81 evidence Of the rspidity with which
these seces.oniss succeed in oyerawing and whining
over the people il is stated thai in Cameron County

safely vote against it, they remained at houie.
