The Albany Evening Journal is severe on
the Texas volunteers, in the following point :
ed article. Whether it contains more truth
than poetry, we are unable TO Judge; but, we
would rather agree 10 fight, singe-handed
all the enemies that the said heroes found
in Texas, than 10 be scaihed down so.
RETURN OF THE TEXAS VOLUN-


TIERS.


The King of France, with twenty thosand men,
March'd up the hill, and then-march'd down


again!"


Such must have been The burden of the
song, chaunted by the Texas Volunteers from
New Orleans, as bootless and crownless they
sneaked back to the city which vomIted them
forth! The public can scarcely have forgot
ten the circumstances at!eding the enrolment
of this celebrated Regiment. In official
"General Oorders,' they were promised
pleasant and profitable jaunl! In un-officiaI
proclamations. hints were thrown out relative
to The probable and almost certain sacking of
Churches, filled with untold piles of silver
and gold! The best OF wines and liquors
WClC W NC Cu6dpGI tHdH Wallet. Ills was
enough! New Orleans loafers and scoundrels
were all at once fired with an excess of mill
tary vaor. Not Sunday passed but it wit
messed the parade of some new corps of
prospective thieves and land pirates. AT
length they departed, amid the roar of can
non aud flourish of trumpets; and Granny
Gaines felt his youth renewed, as he gazed
upon these noble respondents to his POM
pous proclamation!


The scene shifts! A like number of still
scurvier looking vagabonds are seen sneak
ing back into New Orleans without a single
Indian scalp in their belts. or Mexican cru
ci6x in their knapsacks! But they are the
same military heroes. Their valor seonIy
gone. Instead of"a pleasant and profitable
Jaunt," they were greeted by troop of Ia
rantulas, Scorpions and Rattlesnakes! Their
heapes of Gold and Silver were exchanged
tor Ague fits and malignant Camp Fevers !
Ard their choice Liquors dwlndled down to
scaniy supply Of, Ditch water in compari-
son with which the muddy contents of the
Louisiana Bayous were clear as crystal!


Thus ends the first Texas campagn! Gen.
Gaines should forward the official account TO
his counterpart, the President, at Washing
ton! And Professor Ingraham should i'm
mediately issue thrilling romance, based
upon this most romantic expedition.
