Thorn.- The proper extracts, accompanied by such remarks as [ could steal time to throw together will appear in the Bulletin of tomorrow.- ( will send you a copy by the first opportunity.- The present slate of things in Texas, in more respects lhalL one, cause me and all the friends of the Cause here, great anxiety, from which, l hope you will soon relieve us. There will be more volunteers in the field in two lo three weeks than will be wanted.- I nm looking hourly for a comp.my of forty from Baltimore, they left on the 23rd June.-
