Texas Raising an Army.

The Galveston Civilian of the 18th inst,
says: "The Legislature appears to have
done all in its power for the defense of
the frontier and the relief of the Trea-
sury.
San act has been passed to authorize
the organization Of companies Of mount
ed men, sixty men in each frontier coun
ty, ten of whom may remain constantly
in service, and call out the remainder of
the company for any time not exceeding
twelve days at one time; the said COM
panies to furnish their own arms, horses,
provisions, and ammunition, and to re.
ceive pay as follows: Privates and non
commissioned officers, 81 so; lieutenants,
50; captains, $3.50 per day each for every
days actual service. To provide money,
the House has passed a bill authorizing
issuance of treasury warrants to all parties
having claims against the State, and ma.
king such warrants receivable for taxes.
"The House has also passed q bill au-
thorizing the Governor to issue State
bonds to the amount of five hundred
thousand dollars, in case of invasion from
any quarter, one.ffth of the whole an
nual State tax to be appropriated as Q
sinking fund until the bonds are paid.
Should these acts become laws, as is
probable, we shall soon return to the
good old days Of a deprecated paper eur
rency, and the defenders of the frontier
and others will have more money than
coltt or silver.

WAspaSGroN, Feb. %. 1861,


10 The Editors Of tis National Intelligenc1.
in the VISITORS room adjoining the
Washington Monument saw this morn
ing block of marble, presented, / be-
lieve. by the State of Louisiana, with
this inscription: "The State of Louisi-
ana: ever faithful TO the Constitution and
the Union" 1t cannot be that the spirit
which prompted this noble sentiment has
passed entirely AWAY. We grant that
the South have had great provocation-
that Northern States have passed uncon-
stitutional laws Injurious to Southern
rights. But cannr, redress for these be
had in the Un,an? Has the North
changed so sudis5 as to be hostile 10
those for whom fsS.,cnt its treasure and
blood in the past? The petitions to Con
gress, the public meetings, the tone of
many leading journals, the course Weed
and Seward have taken, show there is a
spirit at the North which will do justice
to our brethren and crush forever those
who have iomented our present unhappy
differences.
Let the Union men of Louisiana rally;
Bouligny has set them noble example;
and they will be met by welcome from
true men, millions of whom, from Maine
10 California, have felt keenly the suffer
ing and ruin already flowing from sepa-
ration from those who are bound to them
by every tie Of interest and sympathy,
and, above all, by the memory of the
man who came to bless us all one hun
dred and twenty nine years ago, and who
will take care that the causes which have
brought those evils shall forever cease.

The Southern Army and Navy.

The Southern Army and Navy.
The South has agents at the North pur-
chasing steamers for the Southern Con-
federacy. One has been purchased for
Georgia costing 100000.
1t is stated that 1000 men have applied
in Savannah for commissions in the
Southern army, while thirty-four persons
only have sought the place of rriyatcs.-
1t would seem from this that the Seces-
sionists all want to be officers, and none
want to be in the ranks as common SOL
diers.
There are 1000 soldiers in Charleston,
ready to attack Fort Sumpter, but the
Governor is holding back for order from
Jefferson Davis. The people are for i'm
mediate action in Charleston. but the
cool heads counsel little delay. --
The telegraph states that large num-
bcr of Southern prvateers are i'm readi
ness to commence reprisals upon North
ern commerce, in case coercion or war is
commenced by the North upon the Sc
cedcd States by seeking to enforce laws
in their jurisdiction. There is no. a
doubt that what is called the enforcing
of the laws will lead, if attempted, to a
terrible civil war between the two great
divisions of the the Union. That civil
war, once commenced, will be TIE end OF
the Union and of popular liberty can be
little doubt. Every coercionst is prac-
tical disunionist,

tee Of gentlemen who had invited him to
attend a banquet given in Troy, New
York, by members Of tho Constitutional
Union party, on the recent anniversary
of Washineton's Birthday, held the fol-
lowing language of criticism on the par
ties which have risen and prevailed
during the last few years since the decline
of the Wing organization. f
political parties, which for many years,
with all their evils, did good service to
the country, by their activity, watchful-
ness, and zeal, in fierce struggle with
each other for the mastery, seem to have
worn out and deranged their machinery.

The Democratic party of jefferson and

replete with glorious memories and proud
recollections-the party of the people
and of the Constitution and the Union I;
the party which has so often rescued the
country when menaced with danger, at
the moment of our Suns greatest obscu-
ration, when all its energies were de-
manded. was in the hands of managers

ing conventions, and organizing schemes

individuals and the Republican party.
party formed upon mischievous, Sec
tional idea, came into power, upon Demo
cratic wcdkness and debasement, and not
upon any real strength Of It's opn. If it
shall now repudiate the hereses in which
it was concerned, and administer the
Government in the catholic spirit Of the
Constitution, it will derserve well of the
country, and be sustained by the popular
voice. But if it shall cling to the narrow
and bigoted ideas in which it was gener-
ated, its disruption and dispersion will
precede the final and speedy overthrow
of the Constitution it has subverted and
violated.
II am an Old.line Democrat, of the
straitest sect. but acknowledge fealty to
no party except such as keep step to the
music of the Constitution and the Union,
and so long as a flag bearing the stripes
of my country, and all her stars, flutters in
the breeze, shall rally under it, and
wage battle there"

The Surrender of Gen. Twiggs.

No event connected with the secession
movement has excited more surprise and
indignation than the reported surrender
of Major General David L. Twiggs, in
Texas. In order properly to appreciate
the extraordinary nature of the transac-
ton, without precedent in the military
history of the county, it is only necessary
to remember that at the time of General
Twigg's voluntary surrender the secession
OF Texas had not been fully accomplished.
MoxrcoMERY, Feb. 27.-Congress to-day,

annun. After the expiration of five
years, the Government may pay up por-
tion of the bonds by giving three months
notice. The bonds shall be of such
amounts as the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry shall direct, but not less than $50
