We are but still we think from all fe tae $ee and heard, that Gen. Sam. ouston knows what he is about, and ere Iosg-we shalt hear of great achievements beyond the Rio, made by the Texas army. 'Extract of a dleer fremths ew Presdt of Teras.] HousvoN, 11th May, 1842. Col. Barry Gillispie, New-Orleans. Dear Col.-l can ot'er this assurance, that advantages sufficient are disclosed in the manner of invasion to insure the most perfect success, if the army are subordinate to orders-Triumph cannot elude us nn less disorder prevails in our ranks. The arrival ofemgrants, in the country and their anxiety for active employment and the want ofprovisions, a ill not allow the time desirable for complete prepara tion; but with the aid of our friends in the States, we can sustain our cause. Tex as cannot recede. We can no longer re main subject to marauding incursions ofthe enemy. Our independence must be recog nized by Mexico There is a substantial cause of war. which appears to every man ly, chivalrous and generous heart-it is the relentless and cruel bondage of our broth ers of Santa Fe, many of whom perilled their lives on the heights of San J acinto. Their liberation is the task of Texas, and if she is unaided by her friends. and left to battle alone, site will maintain the conflict. and never yield until her star is crimsoned and herlost banner shall be bathed in blood. Your friend, SAM. IhOUSTON. Extract of a letter from an Executive of ficer of Texas. Barry Gillispie, Esq.. General Agent of Texan. New Orleans. Dear Col.-if any volunteers are corn ing send them on. The matter must short lybe brought to an issue. The period to which delay cai be extended for assistence from the United States is drawing near. lf we receive none, Texas will march to the conflict like a young giant. sin:le han ded and alone. The bright beanis of the single star will soon be reflected from ihe rushing tide of the Rio Grande. We have erectedthe banner of a glorious destiny. aud soon it will resume its westward way, supported by strong arms and brave hearts. Let those then who %ould participate in the trials as well as the triumphs of a sol dier's life, come arid come quickly. The field is laid o-pen to the chivalry and enter prise of our brethren of other lands as well as our own citizens. The Mexican tyrant bs taunted. ha% challenged the prowess Cytpow er of the people of the greatvalley Vilje Mississippi. Will they not eet his champions on the sautqyplains of the (arSputh Wxot? Will Americans linger in view of the field of strife while 4meri cans fight fciriedom and the extension of meral and intellectual light. Tell them to come and share the peril and enjoy the prize. You know the conditions. Let them be in all thitigs complied with. Success will greatly depend upon proper preparatton. We have just learned officially throug~h a Texian Agent, that forty-nine emigrants arrived yesterday in this place from East Tennessee for Texas. They are hteaded by Capt. Cofley, and will leave in a few *days for their destination. We Icea that they are of the immortal Crockett "go ahead" order, and if so, who can predict their success. These emigrants wsill be conveyed to Texas by the steamer Tom Salmon, of M olile, a fine sea vessel, w hich has been put in the Texas and Mexican trade by Cotnmodore Moore and the patri oticecitfzens of Mobile. A fellow (a gambler) aimed a pistril at Mr. De Chene, of Galveston, a few daiv. ago, in his own house, and instead of hilt ting hisobject. severely wounded an un offending stranger. A new paper, called the Sabine Aidrocate. has been started in Pulaski, llarrison coun ty, Texas.

Texas is a country of extended territory. The most fertile and productive soil in the known world is her portion. which,joinled with her salubrious climate, makes ber the garden spot or the Western hemisphere. In 1835 andI I836l she battled in the cause of freedom and triumphed. Now, once more, site is cal loen to strive, with her inveterate ene my, who she will meet with unabated ar dour and unwavering fortitude. through every vicissitude of fortune, until her final triumph will crown her labors and her sacrifices with complete succesa in con strueting for her, upon a deep and strong foundation, the solid edifice of social order and of civit and religious freedotm. contributions, the suffering cane of Txas u who is about to do battle ? ause of Southern tig bis ;dult of. compretiension, she limsey veil, that throw over the up she got strike by 'very toots ofour atavery ?

PALMETTO. Troms the Charleston Courier. Terna, Liberty and Southern Inslitu tions.-Who is there in the south. who does not see that the cause of the people of Texas is our cause? Who does not see, it the question now in agitation, the elrort of England to destroy all slavery, but the slavery of her sixty millions of I ryots in bondage to the East ludia Com pany! And who, I would ask, is so blind that he has not secn England carrying on a war in disgutse ever since we became a nation! lie has indeed been but a super ficial observer for the last half century, who is blind to the hostility which she bears towards us. in every department of trade and commerce, as well as manufac tures and ilt production of the raw mate rial. She is obligedl to see in our rapidly rising republic, the evidence, that in one century from the present time, she will be but a secondary power to a people, once in colaonial subje'tion to her. When Eng land wasstruggling for national existence against the giganic strides of Napoleon. we grew into such strength, that the wis don of her couusellors soon discovered her inaility to mecet us in hattle on our soil. and that man to naom and gun fir gun, we could successfully contend with her upon the deep. Fromn firce she has desised. but she has continued to usc every polti cal stratagemt in her power to retard our onward course tothe first rank among the nations of the earth. She fore-ees that the sceptre must pass from Judah, unlecs ishe can successfully supplant us, in the rich, valuable and varied products of our incumparable soil and climate.

After their murder of Mr. Casain's fami Iy, they attacked the house of Ar. Absalom Snowden, not Mr. W. II. Ward, as itated ia our last, and killed hatin and three chii dren. and Mrs. S. they wounded in seven places, and left her fordead. After netting the house on fire they took the children about 200 yards fromt the flames of their dwelling and shot them, one by one with arrows, in sigit of their mother. ;and killed them all before they molested her! A refinement of torture, this, that oul finds place in this savage breast, and thait no civilized being would conceive. She swooned and has no recollection of the de parture of the Indians. It is believed she will recover. She is under care of Dr. J. P. Crichton. On the morning of the 17th they killed 2 soldiers near Wacahootee, and on the same day, Lieit. Bkitton was in search of the party, and came upon them while in ambush. The Indianis fired con his ad vance, and wounded three men. They fled precipitately. The citizens and troops are in searchof them day an-I night. Capt. Kerr's company of Dragilons has been in pursit of them, as also Capt. Sewell's company of Infantry. tnt all unsuccessful. On the 21st inst. the Indians were at Col. F. R. Sanchez's plantation. at St. Felasco hammock. Capt Sew-ll and a party of citizens had gone out on the hunt after them and had not returned when the -mail left. 'The writer concludes by anying. and justly too, *If this is peace, we never want to hear of war." A corresipo-dent of the News writers (Newnin-ville. Mliy 19) to its editors: "r. Snowden. after her three children were deliberately ntirder-d before her eyes, was, although begging for her life, shot with a rifle and with arrows, and stabbed in several places. and left fiar dead. An arrow has been taken front her, and another from one of her children; they are both barbed with iron or steeL something in the form of a harpoon, and were shot with such fierce as to go through the body of Mrs. Snowden. A smill party of five men were at the Mill. distant half a mile from Snon' den's %% ho heard the rifles and yells of the ludians, andl the' screams and cries for mercy of Mrs. Snowden, but to go to their assistane was almost certain death, with theirsinall force: The ford at the creek was % ay-Iayed by the Indians. and had they gone it) their assistance, it is altogether probable the whole would have perished.
