TIE UNION MOVEMENT IN TEXAS. -
The New York Tribune says of the
Union movement In Texas, already
mentioned in our dispatches:
We learn, through a private
channel, in which we confide, that
the Unionists OF Texas will soon be
heard from. We understand that
their arrangements for restoring
their State to tue Uuion have been
quietly matured, and that they have
ere this thrown the old flag to the
breeze under the lead of Gen. Sam
Houston. Though we wish the
"kansas Expedition Southwark, :"
planned and organized last winter,
had been prosecuted, we cherish
strong hopes that the rebels of Tex
as will soon turn mp missing, and
that O!d Sam and Uncle Sam will
have possession Of the State. We
await further tidings with lively in
lterest.

The American War.

The news by the SpeedceU-three days later
from the seat of war, than we before lads
meager and unsatisfactory. The mystery which
we last week referred to as hanging over the
movements of the army of the Potomac, still
continues. The report Of the evacuation of Har-
rison's Landing is confirmed, and M'Clellan's
forces had made Williamsburg their headquar-
tiers, while another dispatch says that a large
number of his troops were embarked at Fortress
Monroe, and just on the point of leaving, their
destination unknown, but probably bound for
Fredericksburg.
The report comes TO us also that Mcclellan
has been superseded by Gen. Burnside. but this
must surely be an error. The truth will prob
ABLY be found TO be this-that Burnside has
taken a portion of M'Clellan's army to Frede-
ricksburg to join with and reinforce Pope near
Gordonsyile. But il is doubtful whether this
