The Xew York Journal of Commerce has the following remarks upon the movement in Texas: u Very considerable numbers of men are leaving various parts of our country for Texas, taking with them the arms and munitions necessary for war. Some hundreds will leave

the Atlantic coast within ten days, and a still rgreater number probably will ga from the Vest. St. Anna will find the Kentucky rillemcn ha 1 troops to contend with, in such a war as will be waged in Texas, and it would not be strange if, take it all in all, he should

find this the hardest jab he over undertook.

Ifthcti la of offensive operations should be turned the other way, and with such power as to shake his arbitrary authority beyond the

bounds of Texas, it would not be the strangest

thing that ever happened.
