The Charlotte Journal

Texas.—We found the following article in the extract-columns of a late Charleston paper, without credit or date. We have no where seen the Proclamation of which it speaks, though we cannot say that such an one has not been issued. It will be seen that two of North Carolina's sons have been elevated to important stations in the Texian Government; but we expect their honors will be precarious and of short continuance, indeed, while we are penning this, they are not already ended. We wish the Texans success in their honest and patriotic undertakings—in their resistance to tyranny and despotism in every form.

The Texian Government.—This Government, issuing out of David G. Burnet, President; Lorenzo Zavala, Vice President; Samuel P. Carson, Secretary of State; Thomas I. Rusk, Secretary of War; Bailey Hardeman, Secretary of the Treasury, Robert Potter, Secretary of the Navy; David Thomas, Attorney General; and Jones, Postmaster General; have issued a Proclamation to the citizens of Texas calling upon them to rally to the standard of freedom, and reminding them that by an unbroken unanimity of voices they have declared that Texas shall be free, sovereign and independent. The proclamation declares that the fall of the Alamo is the surest guarantee of their ultimate success—that the Spartan band who so nobly perished there have bequeathed an example to the Texans which ought to and will be imitated by them, and have inflicted on the enemy a terror and a loss that is equivalent to a defeat.
