GENERAL AuspN DEAR SIR,
Cheering news! From intelligence that has poured in upon us this morning we are emboldened to declare that Texas will and must be free! Many letters are now before us from which we have time only to cull the most prominent facts. Those addressed to you we forward. We are happy in announcing to you the arrival among us of 60 or 70 fine young men from New Orleans well equipped and in complete uniform, and who are already on their March from Brazoria to G~liad. Another vessel contain- ing many more is hourly expected. Seventy five men have gone up Red River also from New Orleans, intending to come by land from Nachitoches, where no doubt they will recieve such accessions as to augment the number to 300 men. Letters from McKinney and Williams and others below urge you to write for supplies of any or all kinds, and your orders shall be promptly filled. Mr Wm. H. Smith who went below on express and as our agent, has received our thanks, and the applause of all others for his very prompt attention to every commission given him to execute. Every thing
