The Late Disturbance in Texas.
Tjio recent insurrectionary di*turbni
in Texas nnd other Southern States, si
to have created less concern at tho So
than the actual facts, as thoy have been
velopcd, would warrant. We are no a
mist, but with the evidence before us
roust adroit tho probability at least of
existence of a deeply Inid scheme to invc
tho entire South iu the most fearful d
pers, and while we are regarding oursel
as comparatively secure in view of our
motendss from tho scene of diaturbai
we may nevertheless be slumbering ovt
volcano that sooner or Inter will dissip
our fancied security. We give below to
interesting tacts and cornmtnts from
changes, relative to these disturbances.
The Houston Telegraph ot the 21st
after enumerating a fearful list of incen<
ry attempts throughout Texas, cornme
as follows :
These arc all the new reports recei
by tho last mail. In view of them let

as fast as the tire is gut gut in one fowi
is kindled in another, and no day passes
that the flapes are rising in gotne port
of th'a Sfhte,' jiindleci by the torches of
olitionism. Ought not some action to
had by fhe State at large?
The Charleston Courier of a late d
says : "we have reason to believe that

The editor of the Yorkville Enqux
writes: "A friend of ours who has lat
