sBE YE READY!'-Wth many persons in this city it is the opinion that there will be no with Mexico, while others think there wi be; and there are those, again, who seem 10 have no opinon about the matter, one way or the other. Now, without expressing any positive belief the subject, confess we are of those who think it is allimporant To be prepared for an emergency-to be ready for the worst; and hence certainly approve of lhe military movements of troops in this section of the country, and are pleased to the spirit which ani- mates militia, and especially the volunteers of this city.

 There may, or may not, be a collision between Gen. Tay ylor's command and the Mexican army, Of whose rumorea movements we have for so many days had accounts This last named body of men said 10 number some eight ten thousand, MAY be advancing towards our troops-those who doubt il do not know that 1t is not SO; and it is evident that they have had time at Vera Cruz, hlatamoros, and other towns the coast of Mexico, to hear of the concentration of our small body of forces at Corpus Christi. Besides, the course of Mexico m not com ing out at once, and promptly, with a declaration o war, while it was expected, and her gasconade and brayado about the United States. may all have been l intended to mislead as to her movements while | she marching her troops 10 the Rio Grande.- l The Mexcans are far more noted for their crafti- and trickery than for open and plain laced ac- ton, and in thls instance, we say, she may have tried to sscome it" over Ia Elliott.

 We have heard it said that the captain of the ship 1 Queen Victoria, just returned from Aransas Bay, gives it as his opinion, from what he saw while there, that there is need-and urgent need, too-oi reinforcements to Gen. Fay lor's command. It is said that the people, or many of them at least, about Corpus Christi (many of whom Mexicans) are in the confdencs, if not in the pay, of the Mexican nation, and that they have sent intelligence of Gen. Fay lors arrival, position Sc., 10 Matamoros. All this repeat, may be true or untrue; but we must maintain that it is all right and proper to be ready for whatever may turn up. How humiliatlng would it be learn that, for want of confidence in the mors we hear of the approach of ten thousand Mex ican soldiers, our brave little army at Corpus Chris Ii had been either surprised, routed, or cut 10 pieces -[N. o.
