From Texas.

Capt. Samuel Lappin, of Seneca, who
iss Brigade Qusrtsrmsster in Banks army
in letter to Seneca, from Ft. Esperanza,
says:
We then marched to this place, (Espe-
ranza) where there are three Forts, which
We took after three days fighting, in which
ws lost one man killed, and about six
wounded. The rebels evacuated in the
night knd mostly made their escape. Fort
ESperanza is the hnes. and best Fort ev-
er saw. There were seven magazines in
in it; all except one were blown up by the
rebels before leaving. The explosions
we're terrific. Thsre was one $50 pound
gun in The Fort and ssyen smaller ones.
These Forts contained about 1900 men,
and were constructed to guard the pass
from the Gulf 10 MSstagcrda Bay We

The following words Of the New York
Times, to the young men, are SO well and
truthfully chosen, that they cannot be toe
seriously applied:
"The young man who opposes the Gov
ernment In lhis crisis will stain his name
for life. 1t viii be told of him he may de-
pend upon it, to his dying day. His dis
honor will be as much the more grievous
and bitter as his future hopes are large
and mightier. |, does not go much matter
to the man in more advanced lifo whose o.
reer has been already, in greater or less
measure, realized. I,is pleasant to know
that tie immense majority of young men
are most staunchIy in favor Of the Govern.
ment and whether in military or in civil
life ready for every duty. The eompar.
tivlJ few of whom this cannot be said can
not LOO quickly pause and consider"

A SHORT LEAsE.-The Richmond Ex-
aminsr riddles the Message of the Rebel
President, and exposes its fallaciss mors
effectually than has been done by any
Northern journal. It ridiculss his bonn
bastic proposition to arm the whole male
population Of his dominions. adding lha,
a whole nation could not remain in the
field more than twenty four hours under
the penalty Of starvation" We have
heard various terms allotted for the con.
tinuanos of the rebellion, but the length
of Mr.. Davis reign, after he comes to en-.
forcs his latest policy, is briefer by hi'
own organs prediction than any estimate
previously made. Twenty-four hours il

General Butler VIII Bring Then
To Time.

Our Government after placing General
Butler in command at Fortress Monroe
and the department thereabout, attempted
TO effect an exchange Of prisoners through
him with the rebels. Some were exchang-
ed, but all at once, for trifing causes OF
their own manufacture, the rebels refused
any further exchange. They also refused
to accept any more supplies from our Gov
ernment for our soldiers he'd as prisoners
of war at Richmond and other points.
They accept supplies through private do
nation from the North. We believe the
pvincip' pc excuse raised by the rebel agent
for refusing further exchange of prison
ers through Gen. Butler is that JEFF Davis
bya proclamation, outlawed Butler while
in command at New Orleans, for issuing
his celebrated woman order and his severe
regime generally. Now, our Government,
after suffering the usual amount of abuse
in the prisoners-of-war matter thata Yam
kee is generally supposed to take before
being "riled," has concluded that aH ex-
change Of prisoners shall be through Gen
Butler. In view of this, all the prisoners
we have, thirty-fre or forty thousand, are
being removed to various points in the vi
cinity Of Fortress Monroe, and within
Gen. Buffers jurisdiction. In case the
southern "gentry" don't come to time and
exchange prisoners of war, man for man,
white or black, and officer for o&cer, Gen
Butler ia to administer the same kind oi
starvation doses, and prison fare, with a
proportionate sprinkiing of lice. itch,
smallpox and disease that our soldiers
have been and now are receiving at the
hands Of southern cut-throsts.

Arms.

We see by some of the Kansas papers a
suggestion to to the Legislature to take
some measures to secure 10000 Cavsiry
arms for the use of the State Militia.
Arms are very much needed. Nearly all
the militia is organized as Cavalry, and if
arms can bs procured from the Govern
ment for their use, their use, they will make
. very respectable and efficient army, if
needed. We hope the Legislature will Sc
cure arms if j: is in their power.

We see by the Lawrence Tribune that
Messrs. Hallet & Co. are pushing the u.
P. Railroad with great vigor, uotwith.
standing the cold weather. The depot is
to be located on the north side Of the Kaw
river, opposite Lawrence. This will be a
good thing for Lawrence, as it will make
it the nearest and best market point for all
the southern Kansas trade.
