 Department of NacogdocAes, Oct 8. 1895.

 The time has arrived when the revolu- tions Of the interior of Mexico have result ed in the creation of a Dictator, and Texas is compelled 10 assume an attitude defen. sve of.her rights, and the lives, and prop erty ofher citizens. Our oaths and pledges to the constitution have been preserved inviolate. Our hopes of promised benefits have been deferred. Our constitutions have been declared at an end, while all that is sacred is menaced by an arbitrary power The priesthood and the army are to mete out the measure of our wretched- ness. War IS our only alternative WAR IN DEFENCE OF OUR RIGHTS MUST BE OUR MOTTO.

 Volunteers are invited to our standard; liberal bounties of land will be given to all who will join our ranks with good rife and one hundred rounds of ammunition. The troops of this department will forthwith organize under the direction of the com. mittees of vigilance and safety, into com panies of fifty men each, who will select their officers; and when organized, they will forthwith repair to the headquarters of the army, unless special orders arc giy. en for their destination.

 The morning of glory is dawning upon us. The work of liberty is begun! Our actions are to become q part of the history of mankind patriotic millions will sympa- thze in our struggles, while nations will admire our achieyements.

 We must be united subordinate to the laws and authorities, which we avow, and 1 freedom will net withhold the seal Of her appreciation. Rally round the standard of the constitution, intrench your rights with manly resolution, and defend them with be- roic frmness. Let your valor proclaim to the world that LIBERTY IS your birth- right. We cannot be conquered by all the I arts of anarchy and despotism combined. | In Heaven, and vaorous hearts, we re- pose our confidence

 Our only ambition is the attainment of RATIONAL LIBERTY-the freedom of reli- gious opinion, and just laws To acquire these blessings, we solemny pledge our per- sons, our property, and our lives.

 Union and courage can achieve every thing, while reason, combined with intelli- gence, can regulate all things necessary to human happiness. SAM. HOUSTON,

 General n Chief of Department. From tae Alerandria {La) Intelhgencer, Oct. 2s.
