a Gloomy Prospect for Texans

General Sam Houston did not sketch
a very encouraging picture for the Texas
renegades when, in recent speech, he
advised that no more men be sent away
from the State. ave have sent our alp

the State to be knocked into a cecked
hat while the savage Indian is on one
side, the alien in feeling--the Mexican
lon the other; the enemy in possession
of our coast, the negro in the interior to
look TO, and which is worse than all,
some yet of the type of that drunken
rascal Jack Hamilton, TO be looked
after.p This is but the feast TO which
the Texas secessionist invited them
selves, when they trampled upon the flag
of their country, and defed the author

all sides, discontinued and insubordi-
nate black population within, and thou
sands of the Jack Hamilton type, who

of the flag Of the Union, IL is quite evil

hands full. When the Mississippi shall
have been opened, as il speedily will be,
the coast blockaded, and the western and
and northern boundaries Of the State
watched by an unfriendly people, If not
open enemies, the State will be in more
piliable plight and more abject condition
than at any time since the commence

THE Affair at Hartsville.

From reliable sources we are enabled
to lay before our readers the circum-
stances connected with the surrender OF
the seth Brigade at Hartsville. This
Brigade consisted of the 104 Illinois Re-
ment, the 106th and 108th Ohio, and one
section of the 18th Indiana Battery, and
at the time Of the fight, there was pres
ent about 200 Of the I'd Indiana cavalry;
this cavalry was no part of the Brigade,
but was on duty at that place. This
force had been stationed at Huntsville,
andthe Post was in charge Of Col. MOORE
Of the 104th Illinois, commanding the
Brigade. The enemy, consisting of three
regiments of infantry, and two of caval-
ry, and five pieces Of artillery, under the
command of MORGAN and Duke, crossed
the river about day break, two and a
half miles above Huntsville. The Fed
eral force was not surprised as first
thought, but was aware that an attack
would be made.
The fight commenced about day break.
The 109th Ohio ordered to support the
Artillery. This regiment gave way on
the first fire of the enemy, and was soon
followed by the 106th Ohio. The fight
was then left to the I04th Illinois, the
Battery and the I'd Indiana cavalry,
These conducted themselves with cour-
age; the 104th driving back the enemy
two or three times, until overpowered,
WAS compelled to surrender.
The loss Of the 104th Illinois was
about 90 killed and 100 wounded. The
two Ohio Regiments lost about 10 or IL.
The I'd Indiana cavalry lost IL or 10.
The enemy'S loss, in killed and wound
ed, were over 200, among whom was
FRANK BUCHANAN, of Wilson county, re-
ported killed. These were all new regi-
ments, and had been upon the march
since their organization. The enemy's
reserve consisting of number equal to
the attacking force, were stationed on
the opposite side of the river. After the
surrender the Confederates retired from
that locality, and are supposed to have
gone to Murfreesboro. Col. HARLAN of
the 10th Kentucky now commands at
Hartsville.

win see that soon. This eide must flow
back upon us, il not anticipated and
prevented. We think we know, that the
negro question will, in a great degree, be
solved upon successful issue Of the
war, independent Of Northern elections,
or other extraneous causes. The whole
thing involved in the question is,
do you intend to put down Che
rebellion? If not, the Presidents Pro
cIamation, the laws of Congress, the
agitation Of the public mind were need
less. II it is put dawn, not cOmpro-
missed, the North need no longer discuss
the question for the discussion will then be
transferred TO the South, and will be prac-
tical, and mean something more than in
dividual Advancement or party success.
Tennessee will relieve the nation of her
proportion of that discussion, and will
take il home to her own borders. Should
the rebellion be whippid out "root and
branch" we predict that there will soon
be no party North capable of organizing
and sustaining itself, as an organization,
that has any relation whatever to the
negro question.

The above is the concluding paragraph of
the Advertisers leader of yesterday No one
can mistake its authority. 1t is from the pen
of the senior editor of that paper-E. Case,
Esq. II forms the tail end Of an article i'm
which the Press is referred to as "menda-
cious print" "got up to crawl on its belly and
eat dirt" and in which its editor for simply
daring to defend the city of Portland against
the aspersions of a man in the interest of the
Advertiser, is denounced as a "scoundrel, "who
had made "an editorial and political failure in
Bath" before he became connected with the
Press of this city. OF course we shall not at
tempt to controyert these allegations. If we
are scoundrel, no denial will convert us into
an honest man; If not scoundrel Mr.. Cases

First and foremost, allow us TO say, that the

- -After referring to the retreat of our
army toward Washington, the correspondent.
of the New York Post says:
"The real truth of the matter seems to be
that on Sunday Cabinet meeting was held,
at which IL tcas finally decided to issue orders
for the army to fall back upon the old Poto-
mac line for sir or eight iceeks, until the netc
ieries shall hare been slightly disciplined.
General Halleck, understand, favors this
plan very strongly. General Mcclellan agrees
with him on this point. They say that no
great risk in reference to the capital should be
encountered at this moment, as we have an
immense new army pouring down to the line
between the contending troops.
1t is now thought that hundred thousand
troops will be sent up the river to Poolsville,
Point of Rocks and Harper Ferry. We have
a large force now at Harpers Ferry, and Gen.
Wool went up this morning to command them
in person. So far nothing is certainly known
of the movements Of the rebels, but they can
not possibly be concealed more than day or
two longer"
