LAWRENCEBURGH, SATURDAY, DEC. 19.

GENERAL HARRISON. Some of the Van Buren presses are as busy in traducing the roilatary fame of Gen. Harrison, as if military skill were an indispensable qualification for a President. Suppose they could shew, as they cannot, that Harrison Has not successfal in arms, is it not honorable and praiseworthy, to risk one's life, for his country, even in unsricccsful war. Where Martin Van Baren, while Harrison was putting his life at peril, in the dangerous and responsible duty, of defending t'ae people of this Territory his own loved Indiana from Indian butchery! He was far from the scene of our danger and toil and suffering. Now, we do not complain of Mr. Van Buren, for this he lived at a great distance from the people of the West, and was not called upon to qui this home and risk his life, for a people, who had no particular claim upon his sympathies, or affections. But while we do not complain that he lookou on our uirses at a rfwranf rand suffered no hardships and faced no danBut while we do not complain that .elookod on our tustrespers in our behalf, certainly he or his friends, should not taunt Harrison, who was Kith us in affliction, munnurming at no hardships and shrinking from no danger, in our defence, with not having done enough. It is true, there is abundant proof of Harrison's military skill, in the success which crowned his arms in the test;skiP. in the success whicn crowneci Disarms m i I- of Cooc SHe!DJ, Co,. R. M. . flUtinrruished officers, and last, though not least, in the dis interested approbation of Congress, who in 1818, present, cd him, with a splendid Gold Jledal, as a mark of the Nations gratitude. But the question is not important now, ,.4,nti,or Ha fortunate or unfortunate, in his military ..n,.... - - . . services Hi3 friends, we apprehend, do not urge his mi litary services, as giving him a meritorious ciaim io wit Presidency. He did nothing but his duly. He periled his life, from love to country, and can claim no reward, but the plasure of doing his duty. His friends recur to his military achievements, not to measure their success and value, & r, n citable vrice or compensation the patriot soli dier would scorn indignantly such an offer but as a proof of his patriotism, of his love to the people oj ie . his devotedness to Iheir interest, and his military services would afford the same proof, in these respects, hether they always ended in victory or in defeat. The patriotism of chiton was ardent and as evident, when he was re treating "through New Jersey, defeated and dejected, as Uvhc th clory i 0 c the thunder of cannon proclaimed the great auu miai y at Yorklow n. To conclude, therelore, wc Euggcsr, u.av . - 7 m Mthn fof us in the field of danger, cannot properly tax Harrison with not having done Cno, his friends should not-that as the late Governor Shelby', Col. Joanson and other compatriots of Harrison in arms, have nO.y attested to his skill and courage, it is too late to call them in question and, that if it couldbe shewn that his military operations were unsuccessful, still they would afford prooj, that Gen. Harrison had more love for the West than he who only looked on our calamities, at a safe distance. Elcctions.-O the 10th inst. the Senate and House of Representatives of this State proceeded to an election of Judges and Prosecuting Attomies. Elisha Embree was elected Judge of the 4 Jovial Circuit b'. a n,aJlty "f four votes over Charles I. Battel, his competitor H . -Wick, was chosen Judge of the 5th Circuit, and Samuel Bier, Judge of the 6th Judicial Circuit. William T. Bv-ant, was elected Prosecuting Attorney in the first Judicial district, Charles Dewey, in the second, William Herod, in the fifth, William J. Brown, in the sixth and Courtland Cushing, in the third District. Mr. Cushing, had a majority of 22 votes over Daniel Kelso, his competitor. Philadelphia, Dec. 3. Mr. Clay. The Hon.

We copy the following from the New Orleans True American of the 11th ult. which is the latest intelligence that has been received from Texas: Wc arc indebted to a friend who arrived last even-in"-from Nacogdoches, for the following statement. He informs us that Gen. Houston left San Felippe about the 22d ult., with a considerable reinforcement of troops, to join the commander-in-chief, Austin near San Antonio. Our informant also states, ;k; ho mC .company of 80 men from the neightnat P-C mu h another of 33, and anoth er 'of" lon tfe same segment; and the company of about GO which went from this place, wbo were to be joined at Nacogdoches by an additional corpS-all of whom were in high health and spirits, and marching on to San Antonio. A fine cavalry company of 16 men, from the neighborhood of Natchez, were also met on their way. On the 2oth ult a lette- was received from Labadie, stating that a Lieutenant had captured a Mexican from whom he learned that there was a reinforcement of Mexican of about 400, coming on to join General Cos, Wbe army A letter just received from Gen. Austin, dated the 20th inst. informs us that a division of the army had advanced and taken up a pos.t.on at Salado, within rive miles of San Antonio, in doing which thev had come in contact with the advanced guard of the enemy, who still continued in sight, on the hill between our troops and San Antonio. General Austin continues to urge reinforcements to hasten as fast as possible. Correspondence of the New Orleans Bulletin. TEXVS. Brazoria, Oct. 22, 1835, Dear Sir While all nyes were directed with intense anxiety towards the military operations near Gonzales supposing that to be the only point from whence we might expect important news we were astonished by receiving information of the capture of the fort and town of Goliad, (La Bahia) by a narty of colonists. These were volunteers from the transcendently fertile banks of the Caney and from the town of Matagorda, a place destined to become Uctnre tins pany euieu . a Z the volunteers were at Gonzales; and fear ng that Before tins party eniereu ui ""-r - J .,. ... 1 Uo eA most nt the narvubt j - - ' ; .. could arrive there, they struck off trom La Baca i . e i,nnnra irnnu hrt reaDeu otriorc muv with the daring determination oi urnin j surprise. ., nf'.un Goliad is situated on the southwest aide of .he San Antonio river, thirty leagues below Bexar, and it is fifteen leagues from Copano, the larding-pUce of Arkansas bay, and about the same distance Iron the La Baca end of Matagorda bay. 1 he oil built upon the point of a very steep and h.gh lull, formed of rock, with a deep ravine uponones.de and a low prarie upon the opposite, while a broad elevated prairie extends towards the south-west. The walls of the fort arc of stone and lime, and i : i ,. rvrlrs of the storms ot an nundred winters, but arc still proof against any thing less than the batterings ot neavy artui. . A long forced marcn brought the van-guard of the colonists to the San Antonio river fording below the town, at 11 o'clock on the night of the 9th inst. Here they halted for the main body and to make arrangements for the attack. A very small party - were sent into the town, and they brongnt out, with the utmost secrecy, a worthy citizen friendly to the constitution of lb24; and by his assistance guides were procured, perfectly r road The mam uooy 01 uio tuiumw ; -in the night, and before they found out their mistake were at The upper ford, immediately opposite the town.

The noble horse did his duty, and bore the colonel clear of all pursuit to the place where our party surprised him.

One of the colonists was wounded iu the shoulder. Col Milman assisted in the capture of the fort, and he spoke: "I assisted Mexico to gain her independence; I have spent more than twenty years of life, I have endured heat and cold hungerand thirst I have borne loss and suffered persecutions, I have been a tenaut of every prison between this aud Mexico but the events of Ihis night have compensated me for all my losses and all my sufferings;" The colonists were commanded by Geo M. Colhnworth but it would be difficult to find in the company aman not qualified for the command. Ciuliad is of vastly more import a nee in a military point of view than Bexar, as the latter is in a valley upon the banks of the river, and commanded by the hills on each side, and is therefore indefensible. The main army under Col. Austin marched from Gonziles on the 13ih inst. against Bexar. When provoked, there is in Col. Austin the courage of the lion: and there is in him, at all times the caution of the fox. With him in command, if we do not hope for a specdh victory, we at least do not foar a defeat. I send this by a soldier who fought at the capture of Goliad, and if there be any error in my statement, you will have the means of correcting them before you. Your ob't. scrv't S.

Gen.
