THE most careless observer of public sentiment must be convinced that, if all those who are opposed to the nomination made by the Baltimore convention, can be united on a single candidate for the presidency, that candidate will be elected.

He has grown up with the great west, and become

Their cotton crop hud been larrre, ! and the high prices at which it had been sold ' not only made money comparatively plenty, but planters and 'new comers' had applied all their 'force' to planting cotton, and more than double the quantity of land was nut in nnt t rTi li.r,-, l- A 1 1 1 1 .

The first difficulty that the settlers experienced was from the inroads of the Indians, who stole into the settlements, driving off horses, and when meeting with travelers, murdering them.

Arnerican-born members of the legislature or
congress, together with the governor, had
been imprisoned by the military; and that, although by bribes they had succeeded in ma
king their escape; yet the governor was in
close confinement, together with several A-
merican citizens ot Texas.
News came from several quarters that San
ta Anna was about to throw a large military force into Texas, to compel the citizens to
acknowledge mm as dictator, under pain of
sharing the tale ot tne old Spaniards expul
sion trom the country.
The effect which this had upon the peoUe
can not be described. Some were for march
ing at once upon bexar or San Antonia, where there is a small force stationed as a guard to a considerable depot of artillery
small arms, and ammunition, but this was
overruled, as it might give an excuse for th
military to occupy 1'exas. Every man ir. the western part of Austin's colony was. enroled and officers chosen tocommand them while in many places blockhouse?, were built for the security of women and children from the Indians while the men were engaged in repeling the expected invasion. Handbills were circulated throughout 'the whole settlement as inflammatory as could be imagined, while meetings were got up and resolutions p issed,
generally of a character with the. handbills j while arr iin some individuals would get to-!
gather and pass resolutions of the moft submissive lone and temper. Without government, and without any concert of action, and with anarchy in its worst shape prevailing, what lhe end will be it is impossible to foretell. I consider the arrival of col. Austin, who is now in New Oilcans on his way to Texas, as peculiarly fortunate nl this juncture; for if any .thing can be done to settle down the agitation thai prevails, he is lhe man to'doit. He may succeed for a time,
THE TWA FRENS AND TWA BOOKS,
in a grenadipr company of a Scottish regiment forming part of the British irmy In Spam, were two privates, known arnonrriheir companions as the "ivva friens," from the steadiness of their mutual attachment, and otherwise much respected for propriety of conduct. In one of the last skirmishes which took place among the lower Pyrenees, when our brave fellows drove their opponents from one entrenchment height lo another, to the very confines of the "sacred territory," one of the "friens" received a severe wound in the thigh. During the few weeks in which our troops were in cantonments previous to entering France, the wounded of the regiment in question lay in a church, and among them the individual now mentioned; his friend, in
the intervals ct duty, most affectionately
our
watching over him. On one occasion,
informant, while visiting and cheering the sick
ot Ins own company, finding himself placed within a few feet of their bed, but in a position where he remained unseen, could not forbear stopping to admire the behaviour of the two friends; and, as he confessed, hi? heart melted,, even to tears, on hearing their conversation "Jamie,"'' said the wo'-.nded man, "I feel sae strong to-day, that I fain would hear you read to me." "I am most willing," renlied his corvpanicni, "but I fear We can get no bor.ks here, an' it is far to my quarters, an'
ye ten I dinna like to leave you." "Look," was the answer, "into my knapsack; there's twa books, the Bible and Burns' poems! If ye read," continued he, looking up to his friend with a grateful smile, "I dlnna rruckle ca.e which ye get." But see'.no his commn-
lon look grave and rather displeased, the pa tient immediately added, "Oh dm-, p !:--
