Bostox, Dec. 29, 1345. | Gough's Lecture—A New Paper — Rev. Theodore Parker—Mr. Burke, §c. John B. Gough delivered an address at the Tre- mont Temple, last evening, to as many as could possibly crowd into the house, while thousands went away unable to gain admittance. Mr. G. has always drawn full houses in this city, where he has spo- kon nearly one hundred times, in all; but on the plesent | ance of vitality tan the head ofa dead man. On looking occasion there was an unusualjrush, occasioned no doubt by a general curiosity to see a man of such notoriety, and hear what he would say in extenuation of his own ‘ conduct, or in reply to the charges preferred egainst him by others. Mr. Gough commenced by saying, that one year Sabbath evening of the Inst year tomary for men to look around them and see how they stood; what progress they had made during the year that is past, and what plans to adopt for the future. The merchant would do this in regard to his business, and the ar, and toafford the | LOUISIANA AND NEW YORK LINE OF PACKETS | christian would do it in reference to his progress in divine things. With himself the past year hud been an event- ful one—but he had not ceme but should proceed to speak of the glorioue cause of temperance. ro to speak of himself, Mr. Gough spoke about an hour, pretty much in the style of his former addresses. He was fluent. earnest, and apparently conscious of the position in which he stood before the audience. He alluded particularly to the temptations which surround the man who has re- | formed, and related some incidents of those whom he had known to fall and violate the pledge repeatedly, but who finally came off victorious over their own appetites At the close he said that his strength failed him; that he felt deoply indebted to the people and the press of Boston; they hadtreated him with great kindness, for which he feit traly grateful. He said he should speak again on New Year’s day evening, which, perhaps, might be the last t ence. He knew that many people against him, but he did not blame them for that. “He had | been assailed without mercy, but he was able to vindi- cate his character, and it should bo done, Boston audi re prejudiced @ he should ever addre. ‘here war both approbation and disapprobation mani- fested when the last sentence was uttered; butit was | evident that a large portion of the audience sympathised | with the speaker. Mr. Gough has not altered much in appearance; I | think he it more fleshy than when I last saw him, but bis | face is as pale as death. | After enjoying two days of very good sleighing, we are again in the midst of athaw. When it will freeze again would require an Espy to determine. Anew paperis to be published here, the object of | which is to demolish the Catholic religion. Several | | Protestant clergymen are announced as contri | its columns. The best every Sunday, | am informed, and draws full houses. It is also said that he is to locate himsel| | ifso, ycur s/atement that he was going t» New York cunnot be correct. _Mr. Burke played at a concert of the Philharmonic So- | ciety on Saturday evening, and is to give his first concert | on Tuesday evening. His’ juvenile efforts on the stage | | are well remembered here, and hence he will stand a | | chance to do better than some who have preceded him the present season. Tho dinner for the Plymouth celebration was cocke! im this city by Messra. Holman & Clark, of the U. S Hotel, and carried to the tubles smoking hot, in a littie over an hour, on the railroad. Not much local news just now. We must have somo- thing to hegin the new year with. These “ piping ti of peace” will never answer. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS CONCERNING THE ARMY | * Occupation 1n Texas —A correspondent of the few Orleans pic, in a letter dated Corpus Christi, , gives the following account of the sad story, and merits investigation :— When the 3d and 4th Infantry first landed Kiyney’s Ranche,” though a town of consiterably selling annually sbout a million’s w goods to the Mexican smugglers, was as y seaceuble under the vigorous military sw sy of its mar- al proprietor as a village in New England. How chang- edthe aspect now! Every new arrival of troops, pow- trom all parts of the Union, was promptly followed rrival of some portion of that vast horde of liqnor ling barpies, which brings up the rear of an army is ever ready to prey upon the poorsoliier. Mor thirty grogshops, Constructed of frait material have been erected within the last few mouiths, o: outskirts of “the Ranche.” All the outlaws, thieves and murderers from the United States, seem to have found homes in these temporary structures. Their sa- vage yells and horrid oaths, and imprecations, can be heard at all hours of the night. Their bacchacalian re. vels usually terminate in a bloody affray, in which these ruffians show their intimate acquaintance with Bowie knives and revolvers. To the philanthropist no sight can be more truly distressing than that of the bloated and sin- marked viseges of these nen, as they listlessly lounge by day through the purlieus of this modern Pandemoni um, concocting their hellish plans for the night. But not content with confining their murderous attacks to their own worthy fraternity, they have recently laid their ruthless hands onthe soldierz. About ten days since, a soldier of the 4th Artillery was shot dead by one of these ly. No means whatever have been used to discover the ly bought savings, whilst in istate of stupor. A soldier left the encampment a few Jays since with a hundred dollars in his pecket, bis hard ings for two years, and was missing for several ‘ay*. He was at length found in the “Chapparal,” al most entirely denuded, minus his hundred dollars, and | “Ull stupid from the effects ofthe drug which had been But, you will ask, i < test martial law, and brought to con- ‘ign punishment the wretch who dared to infringe the feast of his regulations.

But all who know,the iron will, indomitable courage and generous nature of Gen, Taylor, believe that it is not from want of firmness, or Jock of feeling towards his command, that he has acted so strangely, but because he is fettered by that depart ment which bloody campaign, without the armament and munitions of war, nt an army upon what was supposed a “The Northera” have come witha vengence das n and unexpected as unwelcome.
