TROOPS FOR TExAs.-A detachment of
United States troops, ninety-two in number,
left New York city last Friday for Texas.
This movement Of troops is simply for the
routine purpose of filling vacancies in the
Texas regiments-just as troops are sent to
Oregon, California, or New Mexico, from
time to time. There are at present in
Texas $500 United States troops. There
are picked men from all branches of the
service, and are stationed along the Rio
Grande and the Camanche frontier, for the
purpose Of guarding the people of Texas
from the incursions of the Indians and
marauding Mexicans. To maintain these
troops costs the United States government
81, $780, 900 per annum. Among the privi-
leges which Texas will 90 out of the Union
with is that of doing her own fighting.

rare and delicate within, whose rich aroma
would fill the air and be lost, if vent was

The Truc Union,

In these days when men talk of compelling
States to remain in the Union by the sword,
and obstinately reject all efforts to compro-
mise the difficulties between the sections. it
is refreshing to read the grand words of
DANIEL WEBSTER, on the only true basis
by which Union can be had, or which
renders Union desirable:
"The Union for the preservation of which
l strive lis not merely union of law
of constitution,-of compact but while it
is that, it is Union of brotherly regard
OF fraternal feeling throughout the whole
country. do not wish that any portion
of the people of this country shall feel held
together only by the bonds of legal cor.
poration bonds which some of them may
think restrain their limbs,-cramp their
affections, gall and wound them. 1 wish,
on the contrary, that they shall be bound
together by those unseen, soft, easy-sitting
chains that result from generous affections,
and from sense of common interest and
common pride. In short, fellow citizens,
my desire is, and my labor is, to see that
state of things produced, ia which, filling
all bosoms with gratitude, all hearts with
Joy, illuminating all faces, spreading through
all ranks OF people, whether rich or poor,
whether north or south, east or west =
there shall exist the balm of all our suffering;
the great solace of all our political calami.
ties; the great security Of everything pros.
porous, and great and glorious, IN the fu-
ture land that is, THE UNITED LOVE OF A
UNITED GOVERNMENT !"

1t will be recollected that JAMES M.
W1NsLow, Esq, holder Of first mortgage
bonds of the Minnesota and Pacific Rail-
road, in order to test his rights in the
premises, obtained an injunction from the
District Court of the Second Judicial Dis
trict, against the sale by the Governor,
under foreclosure, of the above road, which
the Governor disregarded, and made the
sale. We learn that Judge PALMER has
rendered an opinion which declares the sale
void, and sets it aside altogether. We have
not been able to obtain the points upon
which the opinion is sustained.

SOMETHING CoNvESIEyr.-The Postmas-

of letter paper, to be cut, gummed, and
embossed, with three cent postage stamp,
combining in one both letter-sheet and en-
velope. This sheet will be about half the
size of an old fashioned letter paper, so
folded and cut as to furnish a neat and
convenient prepaid letter of only about
half the weight of those now in use with
an envelope. Orders have also been sent
for similar sheets, letter size. The use O.:
envelopes has often been objected to by
legal gentlemen, as the post Office stamp is
the only conclusive evidence of the time
when letter may ha We been mailed. There
can be but little doubt that the new system
will almost entirely supercede the old so
