Latc rnoM Mexico. Retreat of the
Xenophons slaughter of the murders,
andestape of the Texian Patriots. Since
our publication of yesterday, in which the
accounts fiom our correspondent at Mala
moras loft mote than 100 Texians at Saltil
lo, about to be sacrificed nt tho shrine of
cowitrdice we have conversed With a pas
senger from Texas by tho Now York, Mr.
Ed. Dyer, of San Antonia, who has com
municated to us some now and hcart-checr-ing
facts. Mr. D. was enly six dsys from
San Antonia to Houston, and on the jour
ney put up at a houso where Col. Jordon
(tho commander of the 114 Toxians whom
the Mexicans had planned to murder) had
just before stopped for refreshment. Mr.
Dyer learned, and hits no doubt of the cor
rectness of tho informoalion, that when the
Texians bcuauio convinced of the intentions
and treachory of the Mexicans, Ihey retired
by themselves to a walled enclosure in the
vicinity, determined lo face the wont. At
this time the citizens of the plaee, consid
ering tho contest at an end, opened their
houses and shops and gave the soldiers What
ovor they wished to eat or drink. The con'
sequence was, that the bulk of them got
ueasuy drunk; and in tins situation they
were ordered by their commander to attack
the out-laws, (as the Texians wore termed.)
Tho battle commenced about 2 P. M., qnd
.lasted near uiiio hours.
Tho Texians were well protocted from
tho fire of the assailanU and were more
over well armed, and abundantly supplied
with ammunition. The result was, that the
ignorant and intoxicalod cowards who as
sailed them, incapable of inflicting injury
wcio slaughtered or) all hands. At this
juncture, tho besieged sallied forth and cap
tured three pieces of artillerv, which they
turned upon tiie enemy, ami mowed them
down like grass. Mine than 400 of the
treacherous foes weto left lifeless on the
ground on that night, by this small branch
, of the Anglo-Saxon race.
The Texians haviug cleared the field,
supplied themselves with apparel fof which
the 'vefe much in want and other spoils
of victurv, snu commenced tbuir march

the ojiccrs of the CoUnly-Associatioti. (
Gentlemen. The titrio of our annual
meeting is again near and it becomes our
duty to call the attention of the auxiliary
societios and those which have not yet be
come auxiliary to tho subject. Tho Tom
peranco cause has been gaining in strength
and influence, aud Irom the incfeaso of mem
bers and new societies through tho county,
we anticipate a meeting of no ordinary in
terest. 4 (
Thero has been mora lighl thrown' ort
the evils of the liquor business and the im
portance of temperance, within the past
yoar than during any previous year, during;
the organization of tho society; and there
are a number of important subjects which
will be up for discussion befoic that body
which will require a full representation
from all the societies which hav6 becomp
auxiliary heretofore, and that all those soci
etios which have been organized but which
have not yet become auxiliary, take thd
proper steps to become so. All that is re
quired of any society to become auxiliary;
is, that they send 6a their delegates (what
number they please) with a copy of their
constitution and report- Tho reporfshoulA
contain the number they have in tho society
-the numbor or temperate men within,
their bouads who do not belong the num
ber of moderato drinkers and of habitual
drunkards; tho numbs of stores who sell li
quors and who sell it not, and the number?
which have abandoned its sales during the
year tho number of taverns, distilleries,"
&c.; and any other information which
may be of interest to the t9PJperanco
cause.
The annual meeting of the society will
be held at Danville on tho first Thursday
of January in 1841, in tho Presbyloriart
Lecture Room, whore iL is hoped there will
be a full representation from' all the socie
ties in the county. Several addresses aro
expected on tho occasion. It is likewise
desirable that the delegates Convene as ear
