The Radical from Bowling Green, Missouri • Page 3

Jf We learn from the papers received by our Thursday evenings mail, that the number of Mexicans marching against Texas, is not so great as it was thought a short time since. However, there is a considerable army in the field, The Texiahs have retaken several of the 'towns captured by the Mexicans, and they are making the most vigorous exertions to be in sucn a state of readiness, that they may kill and capture every hostile foot that is set upon their Territory. Jf Our news from Congress is of little or no interest. 5- The Editor of the Missouri has taken a course in reference to the temperance movements in St. Louis, that we did not expect.

He has given his objections to the cause, which we would endeavor to remove.if we did not sup pose that the Editor of the "Bulletin," whose Temarks it appears elicited them, would save us the trouble, by doing it himself. We commend the course pursued by the Bulletin, in reference to the Temperance reform most highly. We believe it to be the course' that all editors and every body else aught to pursue. Mr. Wm.

Luce, Co. of Louisiana will accept our thanks for a number of the Merchants Transcript, and New Orleans prices current and shiping list," not being received, however, until it was too late to make extracts lrom for this day's paper.

POSTSCRIPT. We received the following to day, says a slipt from the office of the Missouri Reporter, in an Extra from the Southland Patriot office.

Smjthland, Monday, March 21. We are indebted to a gentleman, from New Orleans, for a copy of the Grescent City Extra: From Oorhans Crescent City Extra. March 16. Texas Invaded. SaaAtontoa1un! 14,000 Mexicans on this tide of the Rio Grand.

The news of our correspondent at Mexico, turns out to Ij true. Not only it there a large army in the field near Mexico, but in Texas, Houston has issued his proclamation calling the people to nrrm, and the whole country burns with ardor. Read the news below, and rejoice that the Mexicans will get their deserts a sound thrashing. An extra of the 12th from the Galveston Civilian, brought us yesterJay by the steamer New York, states that intelligence had Austin of the taking of San Antonio by the Mexicans. An-express soon after, at Galveston, from Victoria, stated that a body of 300 Mexicans who captured Captain H.

Ferguson, and from whom he escaped, stated that their force on this side of the Nueces numbered 800, who were destined for Victoria; that 3000 had pone toSan Antonia, and that there were in all 14,000 on, this side of the Rio Grande. Men are turning out rapidly in Houston. 100 men immediately left Victoria for San Antonia, On the 5th of March, news reached Victoria of the taking of the hamlet of Golliad by 42 Mexicans, wearing the uniform of the regular army. Capt. Furguson reached Victoria on the 7th giving information that he had been captured by 200 Mexican cavalry on the 6th.

and made his escape from them at the Mission of Gollind. When Capt. Wheeler Jeft Victoria, there were one hundred and fifty men under arms there, under command of Col. Clark L. Owen the families were leaving town, and it was determined to defend the place as lonz as practicable.

Sixty men left Marag.rda and expec ted to reach Victoria on the 9th. Six hundred Texians were at Sanguine at the accounts: reintorcements were no- ing in and tiiev expected to make a stand there with one thousand men. Austin is believed to have been abandoned by the families removing to Bastrop, and the men going to Sanguine. Gen. Burleston was on his way from Bastrop for the seat of war with 400 men.

The effect of all this, savs the Civilian, is that our people are neitheir dismayed nor disturbed, bat glad of an opportunity toa- venge past injuries, and show the world their ability to maintain their Houston, in his spirited proclamation, savs that the news received is sufficient to justify immediite preparations for war! lie has directed that every man, in the event of a call, shall report himself, furnished with good arms, eight days provision, and one hundred rounds of man it ion, and prepared for three "I) tin service lrom the tune when thev report themselves at the head quarters of the army. Arista his also issued his proclamation, ur ging the to 'hold still." It is dated at M.ntorey. on the 9th January. Well mixnt onr correspondent inform us that 50, 000 I were ready to take the held. We learn from Capf.

Wright, of the Xew York, that it is the intention of the Texians to 'keep dark," until the Mexicans cms. the Colorado, and then give them a San Jacinto fight, with an army of from 5000 to 7.000 men. God send that they may bayonet every "yellow belly" in the Mexican army. Wonder if Houston will save Santa Anna a second time? We have been politely furnished with the Galveston Civilian of March 12, by a gentleman direct from Texas from which we copy Houston's Proclamation. Proclamation to the Citizens of Texas.

Mv Countrymen: Rumors have been brought from the south-western frontier of invasion, arucu ars have not furnished to the executive. The facts are sufficient to justify immediate preparation for defensi ve war. All who are subject to military duty are commanded to be in readiness to repair equipped to the scene of action, at the call of the authorities of the country. It is ordered that the Colonel of each county, for the present, lay off the county into company Bests, and direct the election of Captains and Subalterns, and arrange the members of each company in three classes, agreeable to the class in which they may hive authority and power to accept efficient substitutes into service. Each man will be required in the event of a call by the President, to report himselt, furnished with good arms, eight days provisions, and one hundred rounds of ammunition, and prapared for three months service from the time when they may report at the Head Quarters of the army.

In the event of a formidable invasion, it is needless to appeal to the patriotism and valor of Texians. They have won Liberty and Independence by their undaunted heroismthey have enjoyed the blessings of freedom they are proud of their national character. If invasion should press upon us we are required by every sacred obligation to family, frieudsand country, to repel our invaders with discomfiture and dismay. If war should come upon us, we will make it our business. We will be authorized to meet and pursue our enemies with vengeance.

They" have forgotten the generosity with which they were treated when they were placed at the footstool of Texian mercy They were saved when even humanity would have justified retributive vegeancel Should Mexico a-gain disregard the exalted principles of civilized and honorable warfare, they shall feel that avenging arm that shall take of them tull recompense for oppression and cruelty Tvrjnc Mil and will be free! they would prefer death to degredation, or the loss of SAMUEL HOUSTON.
