TEXAS. 1me the N. 0. Bee, Nov. 7. TEXAS. BRy the arrival of the steame: Neptune, captain Rollins, from Galveston, we have received papers up to the 2nd November. On the 17th October, information was ven at Head Quarters, by Mr. John W. mith, that Gen. Woll was positively on the Nueces, and that on the 8th he had re. ceived a reinforcemnent of about 500. and that all the militia of Eastern Mexico w1 ordered to his essistance, and would reach the Nueces in less than ten days from date. The Mexicans living in and about San An tonia, are quite ipdependent, and directly boast of their defence against the troops, to wit: That Gen. Woll will came for the remaioder of them, &c.; that contrary to their customary hospitality heretofore ex tended to the troops at that point, have clandestinely drove their beef and stocks some 25 or 30 miles south, to secure them on their march to the Rio Grande, and speak more free of the matter than for merly. Mr. Smith is rully satisfied of the fact that the enemy at the Neces will amount to 500 or 6000 in 10 days; and Gen. Woll has regular communication with the Mexicans of San Antonia; that in bis opinion they cannot any longer be recognised even as neutrals, much less friends. in this expedition. About 1400 Tesian troops were assem bled at Gonzales no the 17th October. A letter written by a gentleman at La Grange, under date of 25th October, says: that there was 300 men assembled at that Slace who would commence crossing the ' orado on the next day. The river was ,we high, and would retard the passage .of e troops several days. Gen. Burle ann passed through that place on the 24th nit. on his way home, and stated that 400 troops would turn out frot fla-strop and Travis counties, and it was believed there would be 3.000 mea at San Antonio by the 6th of November. A gentleman who left it,-xar on the 19th October. says: that the spies who went in pursuit at deneral Wool, followed the trail ofhis army about thirty miles beydhd the Nueces, and found carts, wagons. and ar tietes of furniture strewn along the road. that had been apparently left to expedite his Bight. The spie. say that the trail indicated that be tied with great precipita tine. and stopped to build camp fires only once or twice on the route to the Presidio. Prisoners.-A gentleman from Gon males, states that it was reported at that place the prisoners lately captured by Gen. Wpil, are at Santa 'Rosa. a snall village about tifty miles west of- the Presidio. ot amt road to Mlonterry. It is reported that Gen. Wool mentioned, just berore he left Bxear, that they would probably be re leased in two months, or as soon as news cosid be received from Mexico.

American Cottons.-if the following statement, which we copy from a wihig pgper, be true. why does the cotton man ufaciurer in this country require a protec tion so enormous as to he absolutely pro hibitory? If American cottons enter into successful competition with British fabrics. out only in South America, but even in Egypt and China. where there is no pro tective duty, why do they denmaud at home an impost so exorbitant? If these state ments prove any thing. it is tttteriy against the cause to sustain which they are pro duced. "The cotton goods of this country, par ticularly the cheaper descriptions, are brought to such perfection that they take lead, and are preferred in all the South Ameritan markets; nor can the British come in competition with them.. The ex port of these boods is enormoaus. Wewere forcibly struck with the success the Atier Watn ri w Co &A Asd%_r Ahtu rO WIWI" basmawoo us recentl Ve r ed from his travels in . tC Sp-tia, and Egypt.

TO TIlE PARENTS AND GUAR DIANS OF EDGEFIELD DIS TRICT. Tin Teachers, composing the meeting held at the Court House, on the first Mon day in November, respectfully represent; that Common Sc'iools. next to parents, are the most important agents in the busi ness of instructiot), and next to Common Schools, furnished iv ith competent Teach ers, is a judicious and uniform selecton of elementary books. A good beginni is one half towards the accomplbuut, of ygood sork,:fod a business oeduca proesm i.te.'1 witti books beyond their ca lcty ofn- d drta':ding, is fatally injurious to the ac quisirion of a taste for reading, without which the mind is thrown upon its own re sourcesi, deprnved of almost any helpkom the ex perience of others; at least thet lp wi ie confined to 'he limited circle of an every day acquaintance-to what is seen witth the eyes, or heard with the ears. To remedy this evil, the teachers have agreed to recommend the boozks reported by the commintee, to be used in the Schools of this District. In making the selection, the Teachers would not be understood as condemning alt others on the same subject, but from a vart:y of works presented to them, they tae aigieed upon those which they think most lhkely to adJvance the object they have tin view. One work only have they codem ned,viz. WV ay land's Moral Science. This work contains doctrines inimical to thc institutionis of thle South; sentiments which shotuld not appear in a work on 31 oral Science. u nless conforming to some ther codec than thut derived from the Scriptures. 'l he opioions set forth is the above work, wre conceive, to be erroneous, dagerous in the extreme, and meriting the condemnation of Southern Teachers and Parents. all parents al guardians to assist them n the responsible and arduous duty they have undertaken, of instructing the youth ful maind. This, in part, can be done by frnishin'g each pupil with proper books, as they may be needed. The expense of teaching and books, they fear, deter too many trom giving their children a proper education, but they may be assured that a well educated child1 is far more likelywi repay his parents for their care of him, thai, one brought upi in ignorance. The parent who de.:res iii child to be happy n haimself, respectable in society, aid a blesing to others, abiould not neglect to furnish him the tmenus of studying those sujetswi will conduce to these ends. Or he ellin-tructed youth it may be said, be hia. hived moire in the world than oairtructed age; lar by properly inform iing anud improving his mind, he has learn ed more ot the niorld, mnd more of whatis necessmry to happmer., the grand object o al, tihain three s. or years of 'eiinsituc ed ,-Lj.'aeiuce could pronably have ac qiired. Thie iimportaince of elementary instrue ion is too frequently neglected. Men of comandiing talent look beyond the child, andi seemi, like ambitious physieiSn, (who would rattner have the honor of perform iig a cnre thn preenting a disease.) omore inchzind li exert their ability in the reforationt of errors in mature age than in prventiing themi in childhood. But in the mom1l as in the physical structore of our nature, to use a homely phrase, prevention is worth more than cure; and were more atentioni paid towards rightly forming the uneorrupied mind of the infant, the morals of the comuinilY wouid be better pre Iservedtle margastrate would have Ims busis in ptunishitg crime--and the di vine .. fr more ptcasing~ task than what
