The news from Texas --Mexican Invasion. If it be true, as reported in a telegraphic dispatch in another column, that Anpudia, at the head of a Mexican force of three thousand men, has invaded Texas, the coincidence of that movement with the departure of the U. States troops from Texas, must at once suggest the idea of a mutual understanding and co-operation between the Lincoln Administration and the Mexican General. Ampudia must have been particularly well posted as to the time when the United States troops would leave, to be enabled to invade Texas directly after their removal. All this would be in keeping with the subtle, skulking and vindictive character and policy of our Black Republican Government, which, fearing to venture upon an open collision between United States soldiers and the people of Texas, has, in all probability, instigated these foreign invaders to spill the blood of our countrymen. It strikes us that an enterprise so quixotic as the subjugation of Tex

A Republican Postmaster Prohibited from Serving. --A German named Miller, at one time proprietor of a lager beer saloon in Hannibal, Missouri, having been appointed postmaster of that town, under Mr. Lincoln's Administration, the citizens waited upon him shortly after his return from Washington, and notified him that he would not be permitted to serve, let the consequences be what they may. So says the Hannibal Democrat.
Signor Voluti, who was a famous tenor in Europe forty or fifty years ago, died quite recently at the age of eighty years. W. J. Humphreys, convicted of the murder of Thomas Lee, in Newton county, Ga., has been sentenced to be hung on the 4th of May. Ex-Governor Smith, of Virginia, has announced himself a candidate for re-election to Congress. The dwelling of Sheriff Alexander, near Charlotte, N.

The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian has stopped publication, from "the exactions of stern necessity." President Lincoln visited the Navy-Yard at Washington Tuesday, and was received with a salute of 21 guns.
hat the evacuation of Fort Sumter had then been ordered, was another fraud and deception deliberately concocted for the purpose of influencing the Virginia Convention. The late removal of troops on the Gen. Rusk from Texas to Key West, after a solemn stipulation with the Texas Commissioners that they should be taken to New York, was another deliberate deception, which could scarcely be excused on the presumption of actual war.-- And finally we have the letter of the Secretary of War denying that the guns had been ordered from the Bellona Arsenal, flatly contradicted by the officers of his own Department. With these multiplied evidences of the duplicity and bad faith of the General Government, the South should not repose the slightest confidence in anything the Lincoln Administration, which thinks anything right in war, may say or swear. It is even believed that Fort Pickens has been, or is to be reinforced, in spite of the assurances to the contrary to the Southern Commissioners.
The "Times " on Secession. --The London Times of the 18th, in remarking upon President Lincoln's Inaugural Message, asks: Would it not be better to recognize at once the formation of the Southern Confederacy, and to think a little less of constitutional powers and decorums which can end in nothing but civil war, and a little more on negotiation and arrangement, by which alone that civil war can be averted? It would be an intelligible course were the President to say that he is going to negotiate for peace, or that he is going to enforce a return to the Union by arms, but to say that he is going to exercise the powers of the Constitution, ignoring altogether the fact of secession, is to make war certain while cutting off any opportunity for negotiation.
