According to the statement of the Nacogdoches Chronicle it seems that Gen. Sam. Houston has deserted or is about to desert the Know-Nothings:-
"In private conversation with his friends," says the Chronicle, "he gave the indication of a total want of confidence in the success of the present American party, and a total disinclination to support either the platform or the nominees.
