TIE POLITICAL CRISIS ON THE BORDER The Rio Grande Sentinel of the 2nd inst. says there is considerable alarm on the bor- der !" at the probable action of the army in the present crisis" It think 1t needless, how ever, and adds;
 "The ut possjdetis controls now, as it has always controlled and under that law Texas keeps what she has, Governments never lapse when one expires another immediately springs into existence, and the succeeding always inherits and takes the rights which be- longed to its predecessor. In the present case, what rights the United States had Texas would have-no less and no more-with re- spect to the army and navy. So much of the army as in Texas is subject to the laws of Texas. Personal interests must yield to the public good. These rules have been estab- lished for the good of mankind, and have been sanctifed by the usages and command of civilized nations. Itis possible that Texas, should she assume new national existence will immediately make provision to incorpo- rate the army into her military establishment If so, this will be done in the course of the next four or five months, and she will then pay them as usual This is and will be the law of the case, and the anxiety on the sub- feet Is without foundation

Jones, preached a strong and stirring discourse, in which he reviewed the political troubles and pointed out the cause.

It had arrayed the North against the South. He said he had been subscriber to The Inde- pendent but careful reading of that paper had convinced him that, instead of being 8 religious paper, it is really an inGdel paper and labors to propagate infdeliiy and aboli- tionism, and he had ordered 1t to be discon tinued.
