TEXAN FRoNTIER-TheG Galveston News, of the 10th ut, says:
 In view of the probable withdrawal of the United States troops from the Rio Grande frontier-a step known some time since to be contemplated, and now rendered certain by the departure of a steamship last week, from New York for Brazos Santiago, to take the Tortugas, Key West, and other Florida forts several of the volunteer companies of this and the adjoining counties have been prepar- ing to go to the Rio Grande, to aid in pro- tecting it from any possible troubles that might ensue from the step above mentioned. This prudent move is under the direction, we believe, of the committee empowered by the Convention to sit during the intcrregnum, and who are now here and is specially under the direction of that gallant and experienced frontiersman, Col. Ford, member of the Convention.
 We understand the force from this city will consist of the Galveston Artillery, under Cap tain II. Mcleod the Galveston Rifles under Captain E. B. Nichols the Lone Star Rifles, under Captain Redwood, and perhaps one or two of the other companies organized here. They leave, it is reported, to-day per steamer.
 Last evening two companies arrived from Houston, one commanded by Captain Ed wards, the other by Captain Odium. They were cordially received by the Lone Star Ri- fes, and were quartered at the railroad depot. Another is expected tonight. Some compa- nies, we understand, from Fort Bent and Bra zoria counties, have gone to the Rio Grande by land. The entire force will be about eight hundred men. The recent authentic report from Brownsville, that Cortinas was prepar- ing to renew his inroads, has been confirmed, we are informed, by travellers thence.

Fatal Shooting.

The Citizen of the 27lh ult., contains the fol- lowing: '0n the 20th December last, an unfor- tunate difficulty occurred in Richland township. St. Francis county, between Calvin Gibson and John c. Carpenter. It seems that NIr. Gibson came to Mr. Carpenters after night, enquiring the way to Mir. Burkett's Mir. Carpenter sent little boy with Gibson to show him the way to Burketts On their arrival at Burkett's, Gibson went into the house, but the little boy returned without er tering the house, or being remunerate for his services by Gibson On the next morning. Carpenter, in company with a brother-in- law went to Burketts, and Carpenter took Gibson to task for not paying the boy for showing him the way to Burketts. heated conversation occur red between them, and Gibson cursed Carpenter Finally Carpenter drew pistol and shot Gibson the ball entering the left corner of his mouth and coming out under the left ear. Gibson sur yiyed the wound some tAirty-six days, and died on the 26th of January. \ warrant, was issued for Carpenter, but he had not been arrested up to Friday last. Gibson was from Middle Tennessee, where, we learn, he has wife and six children He was peddling tobacco"

ATTEMPT UPON THE NEW ORLEANS
 MINT LAST NIGHT.
4n Implicated Party Arrested--A Dstpty La'a
 Plot-Who IS George AntoineY

At the hour of midnight last night, the dis- very was made that there was man con planadc -4be yard of the Mint, corner of Es- encc first became the levee. How his pres but the party to whom arrrA have not learned, discovery belongs is MT. FrederIcnar of the this city. He boldly seized the man, ant subjected him to close questioning, which however, was of no avail for the fellow seemed too well prepared with.his answers. He as- serted that his name was George Antoine, and that he merely went into the yard to find a place where he could sleep during the night without being disturbed by the police. He also persisted in saying that he did not know the building was the Mint.
 No confederate appeared during this inter- rogation of Antoine, either to rescue him by force or secure his escape by strategem and the prisoner, probably knowing what kind of a man he had to deal with in Mr. Lauer, did not make even show of resistance. Consid- ering 1t best under all the circumstances to leave the matter in the hands of the civil power the police were called in and Antoine was taken to the Second District Lookup, where he found securer lodging for the night than the yard of the Mint would have af- forded.
 As to the rumors in connection with this affair, about the locks of the gates and doors having been modelled last month in wax, and 1 keys fitted for them, we are bound to say that there is no reliable foundation for them, and although a gentleman called upon us this morning to assure us of the fact to the truth of which he was willing to make an affidavit in any competent court of jurisdiction, that a deeply laid plot about the Mint in this city was existence, we yet believe that candid explanation of it would not have the effect of throwing our citizens into any unnecessary alarm, for the deeply laid plot to which he referred is simply the grass plot on which Antoine was lying when discovered last night
 P. S.-At late hour, we learn upon au- thority that the Esplanade Guards have not been called out Antoine is in Recorder Blache's Court, awaiting a trial.

 Brutal Assault.

couple of men in the employ of Mr. James Pierson, living near this place, named Hopper and Lyons, yesterday became involved in a diff culty, somewhat after this style: Some two weeks ago Lyons borrowed the sum of thirty-five cents from Hopper, and being in town yesterday, dun ned him for the money, when Lyons became indignant and refused to pay it. After drinking some, they both started for home, and Hopper. who is an elderly man, was shortly after found beaten nearly to death, his face being kicked to a jelly. Lyons was arrested and placed in the calaboose, and will probably be tried at the Cir cult Court for assault with intent to kill

The Republicans of Chicago on the 18th inst, held mass meeting in that city and passed among others the following resolutions The Chicago Tribune, indorsed so heartily in the 2d resolution, is edited by John Went worth, mayor of the city, and is the most rabid of sheets:
 Resolced, That we have unbounded conf- dence in the honesty and patriotism of Abra- ham Lincoln, and that we send forth word to the whole country that he will not prove false to the principles of which he is by his cleo ton the embodiment, or to those friends who have stood by him through good and evil report.
 Reso7red, That all good journals that have stood fast to their Republican principles dur ing the existing crisis are entitled to our con- idence and support, and that chief among these we gladly recognize The Chicago Tribune
 ResoIyed, That all propositions which look to the condemnation of half of the public do- main to the Use and purposes of human sla- very-instance the resolutions for amend ments to the Constitution offered by Hon. Wm. Kellogg, of lllinois-are palpable vio- lations of the Republican faith, the late yer diet of the people of the nation, and the principles of freedom upon which our institu- tions are based.
 Resoirea, That we want and will admit of no tinkering of the Constitution for the pur- pose of giving additional guarantees to hu- man bondage. We are satisfied with that in- strument as it is, and are willing to abide all its limitations and compromises

AN INDIANS APPEAL FOR HIS STARVING PEopLE.-Three chiefs of the Pottawatomies entered Atchison, Kansas Territory, on the 18th, and sought relief for their starving tribe. Lassombane, venerable, fne-looling Indian, thus addressed Gen. Pomeroy: |" We have heard that you are the great father of the whites; will you become father to my starving people? Two of my tribe have died already, and many are in danger of starvation if not immediately supplied. Our wives and children were crying about us when We left They said if you come back empty We will starve The traders will not send us food. for we have no food. Our horses and cattle are dying, and we have no seed. We left our home on Lake Michigan. My wigwam stood where now is the great city of Chicago. We were removed from Council Bluffs. Never in my life have seen such suffering among my people. If you will help us, We will live, il not, we will die" He represents his tribe to be in a most destitute condition"

UNDER this head The Charleston Mercur

UNDER this head, The Charleston Mercury of the 18th ult., contains the following com munication: "Thc time is approaching when Fort Sumptcr will probably be attacked. Let the assaiIants remember that the garrison are in the main, poor hirelings, bound to obey the orders of their superiors and doubtless, not disposed to avoid it. That they are not responsible for the acts of the President or of the United States, and not one of them should be put to death, but as a necessary measure to secure the fort to South Carolina. Let not one be killed after the fort is surrendered; let as little blood be shed as possivle.

TIE Washington correspondent of The Charleston Courier writes in disgust:
 "Never were so-called statesmen as much bewildered as now Seward hides his utter incapacity to deal with events under the dis- gusting mask of leyity. The owner of the Star of the West went to him the other day, and in the most earnest manner besought him to give him some positive assurance of what Lincoln's policy would be. Seward replied /: |" I'll tell you what you do. Buy a ticket for the Lincoln inauguration ball. Head the list with your name, and that will bring peace to the country" The man retired nauseated at such folly. As for Douglas, his power to cope with the issue before him may be judged from what he said to Crittenden " How this thing is to be settled, we don't know. But it will be, somehow. We feel it in our bones, don't we, Mir. Crittenden, that all will be well yet /" Was there ever on earth such set of trifers and incapable5 :"

ABSTRACTION OF THE INDIAN BONDS.

DEATH OF A HERo.-Captain Samuel C.. Reid, the hero of the famous battle of the privateer Gen. Armstrong, of which he was commander, with a British squadron in the harbor of Fayal, died in New York, recently, at the age of seventy-six years. He was born in New London, Connecticut, and entered the United States navy at the age of thirteen years. In the Gen. Armstrong fight Capt
 Reid beat off fourteen boats, containing forty men each, with the loss to the British of l2O killed and 130 wounded. A more gallant ac- tion was never fought. In the latter years of his life he was stationed on board of the North Carolinia, at the Brooklyn navy-yard. The loyalty of Capt. Reid to the stars and stripes was with the devotion of his whole soul.
