We have a report, in the Louisiana Herald of the 5th ultimo, said to be derived from a gentleman just returned from the province of Texas, that Gen. Mina, the patriot chieftain, is yet in the land of the living; nay, more, that he is, or was not long ago, in the vicinity of the town of Monterey, (or Montelrey) at the head of an army of three thousand men, well armed and supplied, and had been successful in several engagements with the Spaniards. This story is told with as much particularity as if it were true. But, after the concurring accounts and solemn attestations of his execution which we have had, we cannot, however disposed to do so, yield our belief to the report of his resurrection, after an interval of about two years. We should as soon expect to witness the return of the gallant Macaulay from "that bourne whence no traveller returns," as of Gen. Mina. Their deaths were alike too well attested, to admit of a reasonable doubt.
