Texas Tronns

Texas has had troops in every important bat. tie during the war and in no single instance, have thev shown the white feather or failed to do their whole duty. They fight like devils and bear fatigue like camels The late battle in Arizona illustrates their manner of marching and fighting. Some of the residents of New Mexico, who were old TeXians, in order to join the Confederate army made 8 detour of hum dreds of miles, and in one stretch of their toil- some journey made a march through desert without water, of one hundred and ten miles in ength, completing the distance in thirty-sX hours. A correspondent of the New Orleans Picayume, writing from Fort Thorn before the battle, says:
 We have now accomplished a march of nine hundred miles from San Antonio, and this through a country entirely destitute of resources. For six hundred miles, not human habtation or human form to greet the yision--al desolate. Often on the march, distances of sixty and seventy miles were accomplished without water Is not this enough in itself to make veterans of men2
 Think of riding a thousand miles through a wilderness to seek fight and then winning it against heavy odds, and over U. s. regularsl Talk of subjugating the South. Why, it would take ten years to conquer Texas alone.

CRoAkERs.-Ou exchanges are abusing mel ancholic men who despond or who take defeats too much to heart Some of this may be de~ served, but much of it Is not A man may be serious, even gloomy and yet determined Fear magnifes danger sometimes, but no less often shuts its eyes to 1t. The ostrich is no less cow ardly with his head hidden in the sand than when fleeing from suspected danger. There is such thing as being too hopeful. We have relied too much on others and folded our arms in the face of the most gigantic preparations for our overthrow. We have failed to increase our armies in time, being told that this fort was impregnable, that battery invulnerable, and that we were fully prepared at every point. We re- lied on our boys to meet the overwhelming forces sent against them, when with all their bravery, their numbers were too few. Wewould not admit of the possibility of a defeat and talked of whipping five to one as a very easy thing to do. We have grown wiser and our folly has been corrected in the school of expe- rience The croail-Ts have done good by de~ stroying much of that spirit of carelessness and trusting to luck, that has, we'll nigh ruined us. 4 little scare is wholesome thing. We wish We could frighten certain curmudgcons and stngy men of means, if not out of their boots, at least out of their purses.
 Nothing is gained by concealing the truth or endeavoring to hide our losses. The best way to meet and overcome danger is to look it full in the face and measure it exactly. The croaker does good, in his way, by setting men to e8tima- ting the danger and the means to overcome it. The cackling of flock of silly geese saved Rome by alarming the citizens, and the croak- ing of the timid or Respondent may save the Conlederacy by arousing us to measure the ex- tent of our dangers and the exertions necessary to successful defence of our rights.

ISLAND l0.-We are without any particulars as to the fall of this fortifcation. The tele- graphic account is very meagre. Our opinion is, that they've evacuating the island and the federals, who had had their eyes opened at Co., lumbus, suspected this and made the attack This will account for the number of transports and boats there We fear the loss is very great. The fortGcations were not confined to the island but extended for miles up the bank of the river. This explains the account of men taking to the woods and swamps. We await further particulars with great anxiety.

HosrlTALs.-bstween one and two thousand sick soldiers are at the hospitals in our city, and considering the short notice upon which the buildings were fitted up, are comparatively com foriable. We have received several communi- cations from soldiers glowing with thanks to the ladies of our city for the kindness shown. It is a sight to do patriots heart good, to see fair women, carving soup, delicaces-with ser wants carrying pillows, mattresses, etc. The ladies have went into this matter with their usual spirit and all that they can do will De doue to make the soldiers comfortable
 Many of our citizens ezpresseda desire to take one, two or more of the sick soldiers to their houses and nurse them. Nursing is more than half the battle in camp diseases, and We hope that the physicians in control, fit can be done, will permit the patients to go to the homes of the citizens and receive good nursing.
