During the penfténty -idf lhe frontier
'BtU, an enlisting officer arrived with in-
structions from the War Department of ^ __J_. _r
Confederate States, to raise a regiment houston and Hamilton conclusively showing,
of mounted volunteers for the immediate
protection of the frontier, wn*l ■wiPh nr©oi
- onel's commission to 'Henry E. 'McCulloch
to command the regiment when 'raised,
to put it in immediate active 'sei'vice.—
This changed the programme 1n the Con-
vention. A substitute, prdtidingfor one
regiment of mottntdd MSiea, was -immedi-
ately offered, accepted and pasaedk pkctng
'two regiments in the fieN-^ne Wnder'the
authority of the Confederate'{¿oveHrment,
and the other of Texas—the first com-
manded by Henry IE. McCulloch, and the
last by fi«M officers elected bf the Con-
in Texas, at Green Lake, and keep them
here npon some pretense or another, until
the time comes-for them to stiike an ef-
fective blow.
This is scarcely credible, for it is too
bold, and irvolves to much of personal
danger to Suit the well '-knowu chaiacter
for timidity which some Of the prominent
actors in it have established foi themselves;
but-thereisowe thing"too o'ear to admit
of dotibtj'tfrid that is that thfty have a set
tied purposeimd design, and that purpose
is'unfriendly to the movement inaugura-
ted by the people of Texas,'(and which by
the grace and help of*God they will con-
suuMMte<) and their good "and their will
is not to be consulted, no matter if it ia
almost unanimously expressed. For one,
1 bftve no fears as to the result. D.
March-25, 1861.
Gent*': Dn yesterday, the Constitution for a
permanent Government of 1 the Confederated
States was presented-for the consideration of the
Convention. I was nofptep&red "for it, I had
«never sOpposéd it Wtfntd be'completed before our
adjournment, much téss that'St would be pre-
seated for aetton, Teu days ago, I do not be-
lieve there were ten men in the Convention who
did not cotfteitrplate and desire its reference to
the people lor adoption ; but mauy circunn tan-
stances 4taVe 'conspired to effect a wonderful
and "decisive change in the minds of Delegates,
within fhe past few''days. The speeches of
as
they Jh'd.^that there was an organized party in
the State,trite were determined.fto operate on
the passions and prejudices of classes, in order
to produce civil war, and make necessary 1 for-
eign interference, by the aid of which they hope
with a meagre minority, to overawe, conquer
and crush a majority of thirty thousand of
rthe people of the State.
The fact tfott* (hat majority was rendered in
favor of secession, after the Convention had
elected and sent Delegates to Montgomery to
represent Texas in a Southern Convention or
Congress of the seceded States, for the express
vención. 'John S. Fort! was elected ou the ;t*M|?oee—«endem ©thereof framing a constitu-
first ballot. The'vote Mood, for Ford, 96 ;
all other (three iu number) 33. 9ohn R.
Baylor, óf ríorthern Texas, was .elected
Lieutenant-Colonel, and Ed. Waller, of
Fort Bend,*Major. I placed -in ^nomina
tion for the office of TH/tjor, «^JtpL , W. (J4
Herbert, of Colorado, lSniid dnterfstned but
little doubt of being able to •'elect ^tim,
until within a few haurs of fhe Election,
when Mr. Waller's nanr e '•wts'tmittglu oatj
and being from the sa^ne seclion, and 'ar-
dently supported by his'father, who, being
a very, estimable ¿gaMleana*, a'member of
the Convention, arid'fcheroúty'iAgner of the!
Texas Declaration óf'Independ-mee'in
body, is perhaps: the best electioneered
witbhrwiy knowledge, find does it all as a
matter of duty'arid eff&tivn for my ion,
Mid backed, as he was, by the energetic,\
powerful support 6f' CoL-tfobn A. Whar-4

prised that, under th s iciruu instancia, Her-
bert made so good a race :
First Ballot—Hamnér

Capt. Herbert was then withdrawn, as it
'was evidenly.impossible to elect him with
Waller in the fiild. I r^rtrtterWrisMftVucbj
and the more so* that the opposition- came
from a neighboring crt«*Vy,altere'Ve had
> a right to look for friends. .
The enlisting officers have beén appoin-

'the State shall constitute^ ^part of the

and tried to indoctrinate the peO^e ^Virb

producing sectional 'discoiid and *a war of

Hamil'on followed. I did not remain
'to hoar him, but understand it was bitterly
denunciative of the whole'Southern move-
- mfent,'aríd as'black republican in character
and principle a* ever Was uttered bv Lin-
coln, or éven Chaee or'Giddmgs—inde«^,
the opinion pr^rafk liere extensiveiy thát
he is an emissary of Linoohi or tbe<Blaok
^Republican party, and that his business is
-to operate so as to produce strife in Texas,
;by exciting prejudice against the C*nven-
ation, Legislature and popular majority,
and bring attont an actual collision. This
ia to be achieved by exeiting the passions
and prfrjndici-s of the non-slave-holding
«lass against the slave-holders to that Ue-
..vree of madness that will bring them to
bitfws. Then, Sam Houston still claiming
* to .be' Governor, and refusing to recognize
-«•Cession or -union with the Confederate
States, will call onthe Bla<*k Republican
administration for sufficient aid to suppress
insurrection, and with its aid conquer
*Texas back into the Northern Confederacy.
To that end, it da believed that Lincoln
.will ,conceottfit« the United States' troops
lion and union for, and of the seceded States ;
and that they were dilligently engaged in fewt
work, and that all this was known to the people
and was cftnsidered-'by them in the canvass on
4he Op4niunee of secession ; the further fact
that the Cotígresá atMtf ontgomery'iad finished
«their labors,' and had framed and presented a
¿constitution strictly fa accordance with their
instructions, and with the will of 45,000 voter*
of Texas, With but few alterations or '•changes
from that under which w"5 were born, and to
which we have all been so much and rso long
attached, and ÜMfc changes acknowledged on
all side* to be found neccssary, from past ex-
perience. to seeurc our rights and prevent future
misunderstanding and disagreement in the con-

In looking over the columns of your
last issue, I was somewhat surprised at the
very conspicuous notice of okb Dr. Banks,
by our very worthy Representative in Hie
State Convention, (now in session,) in a
lengthy letter to you. The surprise was
the^greater, as the quo animo of the littl '
squib I sent to bim was' so apparent on the
face as to do away with any'tí^ti ejy 'as to
its intent and purpose. Not having a
copy,*1*01 -unable to make much com-
ment on the matter. The facts in the case
are simply theses:
Having been out ¿f town for a week or
so, I felt an anxiety on my return as to
what ou reconvention had done ; and as
the'bdvereigns *(as onr worthy membér
'justly states) had twice *&xpre*6ed their
aontrments &t\"secession, I thought if, when
done, 'twere well done—'twere well (tone,
'twere done quickly—from the fact that
the soonér the Machinery of government
got to work, the sooner would its salutary
iiiSttences^fce felt by all'-c'afcses and con-
ditions. Now, what our worthy member
means by a thousand doctors and all with
bayonets,'is-something I cannot cótopre
bend,'"unless he was framing a bill to raise
a regiment for frontier defence, and, per-
haps,with an idea of giving your humble
servant sotoe héaOráble position ;aínoí:£
them'; but one thousand doctors, and all
in one regiment, is out of all proptiely.
