TEXAS PREPARING FOR WAR.-The Galveston Grill
inn of the Doth nit savs.

TEXAS PREPARISG FOR WAR.-The Galveston Girl
ian, of the 29th ult., says:
Texas is now about as near being one armed mil
itary encanpment as any country ever was IN the
absence of an invader and of all fear of one The
people are everywhere forming themselves into
volunteer companies, drilling daily and providing
the most complete meas for efficient service, at
home abroad. Much disappointment has been
expressed at the refusal to receive troops from
Texas for service elsewhere; but the uncertainty
of the future has caused a general preparation
against contingencies, and our people are determ-
ined not TO be caught in military matters Gen.
Scott was in politics, when he was called on to
make a speech. and found himself totally UMPIRE
pared. The State Gazette says that muster rolls of
volunteer companies are continually pouring in at
Austin. The counties have generally taken mea
sures 10 arm the entire population and every man
feels hound to enroll himself for the public service
That BLoCKADE-The on DIT among our merchants
yesterday, was that Seward had iutimated to Lord
Lyons that the blockade of the port of Charleston
has never been interm1tted; that when the Niagara
was ordered elsewhere, the Harriet Lane filled her
place. and when the Harriet ane left, the Minneso-
replaced her. The best reply to this rather i'm
pudent assumption of the Abolition Secretary Of
State is to be found in the following list of arrivals
during the alleged effective blockade. The list is
copied IRON the Custom House book of entrances.

OUR FREE COIoRED Misunderstanding hsv-
ing been said with reference 10 the propriety of
putting this class Of population to some useful
employment in the public service, it is but due to
them TO say that many weeks since their services
were offered to the State, and particular notice
was taken of the tender. We hear they still
ready, without compulsion, to do their whole duty
IN any department of labor to which they may be
called. They only ask that their families shall not
be allowed TO suffer in their absence.
The free cOlored women, we gratifed TO
learn are not behind the on the score of pub
lie spirit They have rendered their services to
General Lawton, who has accepted, and turned
them over to his estimable lady, who put them i'm.
| mediately to work.
We take great pleasure in recording these evil
dences Of the loyalty of our free colored popua-
tion-their attachment to their homes aid to the
benign government that watches over and protects
them from harm. 1t will be remembered in the
future.-iSaUG7'ndh Republican.

Tone of the Herald and Times.

The Northern mail came through on Wednesday
last, bringing the New York Herald and Times Of
Friday the 10th. Both these papers breathe the
strongest war tone. The Herald says:
ITO give system, efficiency, prestige and funds
for the purposes of our government in the conduct
OF this war, the presence Of Congress is needed at
Washington. The resources are at the command Of
the government for short war and an early peace;
and half million of men put in motion from the
North may prove the cheapest, shortest and most
effective argument in behalf of peace. Let US have
no more child's play. The great North is ready,
and New York city and its suburbs alone if reqd-
red can furnish fifty thousand men and fifty mill
lions of money for the purposes of decisive war
and an early peace"
The old sinner talks of "a short war and an early
peace" What right has the North to make war on
the Southf The right which usurpers have to tram
pie on the liberties Of free people. That is all--
Let them come The South will meet them at
Washington City and drive them back. No soldier
from the "great North" will be allowed, three
months hence, to stand on slaveholding soil
But the Times is more rabid than the Hsrald-
1t says: '-ra .h-
"Our first step should be to close every Southern
port as effectuay as if an impossible barrier were
constructed across its mouth. we should Instantly
signify to Mr. jefferson Davis that if single one oi
ships is touched by his prvateers or pirates, we
will march liberating army from one end to the
other Of his dominions. He is struggling to reach
our jugular. Let US menace his. Let us tell him
that from the day he turns pirate, wherever the
American flag floats, it floats over the Free"
The ships will be touched" and privateers will
grow rich on Northern commerce, and yet no army
will be marched on Southern SOIL The largest army
which Lincoln can raise could not march fifty miles
in any Southern State The Times speaks of lib
Grating army" That is understood. In the frs
place we do not fear the result Of such movement
and in the second place. if such purpose as tina
should be proclaimed by the Northern authorities
every soldier and every officer taken in battle woule
be regarded and executed as an incendiary. Th
South will give no quarters to those who compos
or who lead "li6erating" armies.
