TIiikutation. "Wo noticed a paragraph
in ulottcr of a correspondent of the Gal-
veston News under tho nom iV pluiuo of
""Warrior" grossly inuc('iirnteiunl doing
grout injuslico to Col. Waito.
"Wo havo mislaid the number of tho
News and must roly on memory in recall-
ing tho statement which in efi'oct if not
in language was that Col. Waito arrived
in town rodo up to tho Alamo and having
Fomo conversation with a U. S. sohlimv
turned into a grogg'-ry and smiled his
griof away. Tho statement may havo
boon oven moro broad and courso.
.No good cause over requires tho aid ol
auurrility or untruth to support it. Col.
"Waito while as an oiTicor ho ranks

B'ervice as n gontloman ho is remarkablo

tyand for tho practical culture of all
those virtues that churuotorizo tho gentle-
man.. Of conrsothoro imut oven a shad-
ow of a ahado to support the assertion.
Change in the Church Service. Wo are
requested to state partly in correction of
our paragraph on this subject a few days
u'gOj'that of courso any change was con-
tingent on tho ratification of the Ordinaueo
of Secession by tho pooplo.
That becoming known tho prayer
themselves will not bo changed but the
State authorities will bo put in place of
those of tho Unitod States. It is certain-
ly not tho desiro of tho Episcopal Church
to identify itself in advance with any
political movement. It has another iield
and that of infinitely greater consequence.

r THE BORDER STATES.
Tho telograph bears to us tho decisions
of tho border States viz: Virginia Tonnes-
see and Missouri that they havo decided
to cast their lot with the frco States of the
North ; trusting in tho belief that tho wreck
of tho ship of State can still bo held toge-
ther by tho conciliatory action of tho Pcaoo
Conference at Washington.
It is the cardinal principle of tho States
Right doctrine that each Stato for it6clf
the citizens constituting tho State shall do-
cklo upon tho lino of action that will prove
most conducive to its "life liberty and pur-
suit of happiness" and that upon an)' oflun-
hive interuption to which in violation of tho
Constitutional compact it will bo tho sole
judge of its umode undmcai.r:nf rcdress.U
Basing our political creed mi these prcm-lnlcu is ncru ut hand. Is it possible that
iscs we cannot complain at the pu.i y fl.i- my 'oxnii will bo found arrayod in arms
ally adopted by tho border States .. h.um- .ider tho flag of an Abolition Govern-

It is not for us of the Confederate States
which havo deliberately chosen our"path to
Hmpiro to indulgo in criminal repining and
barren regrets at their absolute waste of
patriotism forscchig how .irretrievably
and ignomiuoufaly must bo tho failure
ofovery efibrt of tho Bonier Slates to nfll-
liato with tho fanatics and demagogues
of tho Free States. Wo of tho Confederate
States have an abiding respect for the Bor-
der States wo appreciate and regret to lose
their ardent friendship their genial inter-
course in peace and their fiery valor in war.
Wo should have been glad to havo co-operated
with them in obtaining a redress for
their and our own grievances but their ac-

crcod tho Federal Government in tho fu-

whilo we may prefer that line uf policy thoy
havo adopted as dictated by bold frank ncs
and maiubigtious candor wo cannot permit
tho Border States even to propose any mea-

it must result hopelessly and produce
nothing beyond unprofitable coijlioversy

The Northern IMsuulonlsts.
Tho courso of ovxnts has satisfied us
that thcro tiro dlsunionlsts North as well
as South and that thoso disunionists aro'
no tho Garrison men. Thero is a section
of tho Republican parly which in our
opinion is just as anxious that tho South
shall go out and just as anxious that there
shall bo no conciliation as tho most rabid
Abolitionist. Wo can only guc'fs at their
motives. It may bo thut thoy want a re
public constituted in such u way as will
givo them the host chances of being in-
sured a perpetual leaso of power. Wo
prcsumo that to bo tho best solution of
whatovor mystery thero is 111 their con-
duct; though somo pf them may desire to
livo in a republic whore there is no slavery
and urgo on a secession that may ro'sult in
a confederation which is wholly- without
slaves or out of which thoy can have tho
power of expelling slavory without much
delay. If eight Stales should go out.
thcro would be (Kansas in) twenty-iix
Statos. To theso a couplo would bo added
in a short time. This accomplished the
hopo is perhaps that tho Constitution
might bo amended ny a three-fourth
(Statos) vote so as to abolish slavery in
tho Statos. ZJut whatever tho motive or
object it is plain that a portion of tho
Republican party (not wo beliove a large
one) is setting Its face liko a flint against

the citizens of tho lite Republic ot lexas

Mr. Allen 6tated that on tho annexation
