"Madam" laid Kilty "jour agitation laiigqage and

'0 Mm. He it my husband. My faithless husband."
"Vour tiuiband ! gracious 1 Why from his attention
and language to me I consider him as my inlettded."
Here Mrs. TibbiU poured forth a rollej of inveclire;
the called loudly for a certain old militia Major nho had
been paying her some attention and it iris surmised thai
if Tibbits did not return that Major Mop'us would in all
probability make her Mrs. Mopus. The Major iras made
acquainted with (he state of affairs nhenDowning entered
the room directing his steps towards1 Kilty. Poor Kitty
looked strangely at him. He enquired the cause he
pressed her'lo tell him the meaning of her altered behavior
she sobbed tears fell from her eyes and faulteringly
she ejaculslel. '
"0 how could you thus deceive me. Perfidious man
You "arc TifibiU and the husbaud of another."
He was astonished and struck dumb at his position and
to increase' his perplexity Mrs. Tibbits laid bold of him.
"Now Tibbits I hare gotyou at last Gorernor I Ma-

Downing was paralysed the Ball-room was in an uproar
the dulcet'ltrains of the orchestra ceased and the Govtnor
and Major arming at the scene of action Downing pro-
tested that his name was not Tibbits and begged thai Mrs.
T. might be solicited to relinquish her grasp.
"0 the rile one" she exclahied "see he will not take off
his light hand glove he has a sear there." The glove
was remored and there was a scar this appeared romewbat
confirmatory
"Yes" she continued "he has another scar on his fore-"'
head." Downing forehead was examined smother sear
was found this appeared conctusire and he"Vas about
beintr nut under restraint when the caDtaih.wiih whom he
hadtieeni guest from Texas arrived and after some lima
ot grate altercation Downing' commission in the lexan
Nary was produced with other documentary evidence and
the Captain Touched that bis scar had been received but a
few months since in an engagement witn the Mexicans.
Mrs. Tibbits found herself constrained tu relinquish her
claim. The denouement increased if possible Kitty's lore
for Downing he married her brought her In Texas and
is now enjoying a rural life like another Cincinnatus; and
Mrs. Tibbits became Mrs. Major Alopus. A. F.

We have een a teller from Washington from one who
ought to know which states that the Presideni is ihe au-
thor of K Jr. and other Chaste productions that have lately
graced the columns ol the official Journal We did not
need the authority of tho letter writer to decide on the pa'
icrnny of the articles. His Excellency's style is unique
and well known to those who bate been in the habit of
observing it; and besides He do not believe that any other
would originate such productions (unless the office of
cmanttentu can be construed as embracing origin) or any
other editor publish them.
The President has resorted to his ususl artifice having
for its object the diversion of public attention from himself
to private individuals who ate in no manner connected '
with the operations of the government. He will not suc-
ceed with us. We have a great public good in rievr and
aha!! continue to "grant" on and leaTe individuals to take
care of themselves except when specific charges are
made.
V?e are -greatly encouraged in our 'gruoting" as we
hare thus early in the action brought his Excellency and
an his little "ramrods" to downright 'squealing. Befoie

REPORTED ESCAPE'OF THE- MIER PRISON
ERS.
The PicaynneofMnrch2d saysi .. r
TheSch Embcm Capt Kinney arrived at this ci'iy on
Wednesday from Matamorys which pjrl she left on the
15th February. . -j-
The captain reports that on the (22d while lying offjhe
harbor waiting for a Pilot news came that the prisoners
captured at Mier with Col.. Fisher had .risen upon iheir
guard atSali'llo overpowered them after a short struggle
and started in hnt 'haste for Texas. From Saltillo io"the
Rio Grande' there is adirtet road and nsCol. Jirifan once
made a successful escape mm near the same point with"!
ie s number of men it is nvre than probable that Fisher's
men will be able lo do the same thing provided they were
able tn si-curc a sufficiency of arms and ammunition to
fii'ht thejr way through.
We are learful however so many false reports are -started
and circulated In Mexico that the attempt lo escape
was not made although there is much to confirm us in the
opini'm that the brave followers of Col. Fisher are again at
liberty Jn confirmation it la reported that Col. Kinney
who was eb ut takinz passage fur th United States had
been arrested after the Emolein left Matamoros on saspi
cion of having some hand in assisting the Teaian prison
to escape.

tions are entertained for her safety. 1

V T TM.
A short time since we noticed in the N. Orleans Com-
mercial Bulletin an extract from the "Texian and Bra-
zos Farmer" the official paper which states that there
is positive information that Mexico is about to invade Tex
as and speaks of the necessity or preparing for defence.
We beg the editor of the Bulletin when he rest's any
paragraph in the "Organ" to do so with many grains of
allowance for miiUket and be will understand that some-
thing always lies under the surface not the editor for
he is all surfire but that the Presideni has a motive.
We -will endeavor to explain to him the occasion for that
paragraph and we ask him to believe us serious otherwise
he would take it as a quiz upon his credulity.
Duruiglhe last session of Congress thePresident sent in
a secret message slating that he bad unquestionable infor-
mationthat in forty-fire days a large Mexican force would
invade tne country. That the people of Texas had confi-
dence in him alone ! ! That he alone could rally the chiv-
alry of the United Siates 12! And asked them to give kin
the command. We assure you that we are not running a
taw. Congress of course did not believe a single word of
this and the whole fanfaropad created much meriment.
They elected the gallant Rusk Major General and gave
him control over the $50000 appropriation independent
of the Presid'.nt He vetoed the bill it passed constitu-
tionally notwithstanding proving conclusively that not-
withstanding the dileterious influence of executive patron-
age and power ofappointments not one third of the num-
ber could be persuaded that he is a "Hero !" It is said
that the Bill making the appropriation and Rusk Major
General has been lost or rather abstracted from the Ar
chives ' and no step has been taken for frontier protec
tion!!!!
Jost at the time that the secret message was sent in the
"Texian" published the paragraph noticed. It is all hum
bug ; they deal exclusively in that article at head quarters.
We have received the fitst number of the "Western Ad-
vocate" published at Austin. The tone of the editorials
are manly argumentative and free from Dozmatitm. A
disposition is evinced to canvass fairly and openly the great
questions of stale policy apd the official acts of public sei-
Tants. The mechanical execution would do credit to any
country and the freedom from typographical mora shows a
becoming pride in the superintendanu The following ex-
cellent motto has been adopted and is peculiarly applicable
to our wants.
"Government is intliluledfor the common good ; for
the protection tafcty. monetih and hewineis of the
people ;and not for the prpJUfhogor or private interctt
oj any one man family or elatt ofmtn."
If the first number of the "Western Advocate" be a
fair sample of the Journal of -which tiereia nodoubl the
Wat has a champion in the civic field as capable of bat
tling for her rights as her sobs bate proven to be in the
field of battle. And who that has beard the anathemas
