From the Austin correspondent of Tho 7 = Canco
Democrdt we seee that Gov. Houston. on the an
| appointed G, W. Jones, of Bastrop, Brigadier
GenerSl a. OF the state militia; he also appon ted
and sent him to San Antonio sending also 49,
agents to Camp Cooper.
Col. Waite, who is still at San Antonio it is now
known, from his own dispatches to WASHING cton
mad designed concentrating the United States
troops under his command, doubtless with a view
TO retaking the arsenal, arms, &C. at San Antonio;
out he could not do so, and wrote to the Secretary
M Dt ar that he was compelled to carry out Gen.
| Twiggs' orders.
- UoV. Houston, it was generally believed by the
convention, during its first session, endeayored to
induce General Twiggs to turn over the arsenal and
us us arms and war munitions to his executive care
ueiore the convention met. The Governor, il we
are not mistaken sent one of his agents to General
dWlggs to inform him that one Col. Baylor-the
governors bugbear-with a large body of armed
Hpntiersmen, was coming down to take the Gener-
a., tne city, arsenal and all; and, it is understood
tne Governor graciously proffered to take CHARGE
~ ~ tne arms, &C., in the name of the State Gen
Wigs was not to be caught by such chaff he
hnew 'hat Coi. Baylors aged mother and two of his
SISTERS resided In San Antonio, and that the "fero-
| clous' ranger would not be apt to endanger their
safety by such silly attempt as the Governors
fertile brain had intended. The General no doubt,
! sent the agent back, convinced we are sure thai
| he was not to be humbugged
:. IL is Just possible the Executive may have taken
IL INTO his head that Waite would lend himself to
MS MS schemes to oppose the Conventions authority
mere was strong feeling at San Antonio against
McCulloch's movements, headed by the Mayor as
we learn from various masculine sources in and out
Oh that place; and we have been informed also
mat mat McCuiloch's advance guard expected to be
nred upon by some of the opposing citizens That
ieeiing, we presume and hope, has died away; but
the Executive, judging by his singularly erratic
course in the last half year. NAV have thoupht
@ @tGa' ne, his Adlutant-General and court editor,
his Aides, Col. Waite &C., could overwhelm the
Convention, and should not be surprised if he
were to attempt some rash act
lie sent two agents to Camp Cooper, where his
aiae, Coi. Dalrymple, is stationed in command of
lew hundred Rangers, enlisted to protect the
frontier, and has possession of the United States
M arms and other war property recently taken there
ms IS, under the circumstances of the Governors
ana MS AdJutant-GeneraPs open defiance of the
convention, and refusal to acknowledge its autho-
rlty, rather suspicious circumstance The Gov
ernor now intmates, it will be seen by our Austin
correspondence, that, sooner than acknowledge the
TSDnVenton authority, he will appeal to the people
lhe question then is, does Governor Houston mean
TO lnaugurate civil war?
FEMALE Observation-Disclosures Mail tells the
following anecdote of the Hon. Daniel S. Dickin-

and political friends, both highly respectabIe and
competent men, were, appeared from the papers,
about meek and neck in the race for Office SO far
as influential signatures on either side could make
them so. But suddenly light dawned upon the
Senator. neatly written note in a ladv's hand

own oehaif, and giving but single name as refer
