The Texas Rangers.

The advance guard of the Texas Rangers, which has arrived in this city, are certainly about as dangerous combatants as any the world ever produced. We believe that the far-famed Zouaves, man to man, would be children in their hands. Even if they had no other weapon than the eight-pound bowie knife, keen as a razor on both sides, and wielded by hands which use it with the most extraordinary strength and dexterity, we should not hazard much in betting on one of these Texan lions against any three of the enemy.
