Hospital Stores*
The following communication explains itself. We
trust it will be read with care by every one, and
that a hearty response will be made. We call es-
pecially upon the " Aid Societies " of the county to
come up manfully to the work they are called upon
to do. In this way a brave people must and can
purchase liberty—and liberty is cheap at any
price, no matter what the sacrifice of money, of
goods, of personal case and comfort:
Henderson, Texas, July 17th, I8C2.
Editor Tyler Reporter—
Sir .-—You will see through the Jefferson and
Marshall papers that I have been detailed by ti e
War Department of the Trans-Mississippi District
as Special Agent to East3rn Texas, for the purpose
of getting up Hospital Supplies for the army. It
being impossible for me to visit Tyler sufficiently
early to put the thing on foot in time, I wish you
would arouse the people to a proper appreciation of
this call ia your county, and through your paper
the adjacent counties.
There will be a largo army soon at Little Rock,
sickness is rife among them, and from the fact of
toeing cut off from all resources of getting such
things as hospital clothing, &c., it has been thought
necessary that an agent be sent to Texas as the
most suitable place to procure them. Have the Aid
Societies to meet; have them to appoint commit-
tees fur tire purpose of inciting each neighborhood
to a propper appreciation of the necessities of the
army ; have them to send their goods to the County
Site, and from theneo to Jefferson. We want old
sheets, bed sacks or ticks, pillow cases, shirts, if to
be had ; bandages 11-2 to 2 1-2 inches wide ; old
linen, &c. I have been highly flattered wherever I
have been, that this call will be responded to with
alacrity, and from the interest manifested at Jeffer-
son, Marshal and Henderson, by the gentleman as
well as ladies,. I feel confident that the Department
will hot be disappointed in its expectations. I shall
go from here- to Nacogdoches, San Augustine, Rusk,
and Cherokee counties, and to your section as soon
as I can get there.
With implicit confidence in the press and the pa-
triotism of the Southern people,
I am, sir, most respectfully &c.,
R. L. SMITH.
TO THE VOTERS OP THE 9th JUDICIAL
DISTRICT, .
Comprising the Counties of Houston, Cherokee,
Anderson, Henderson ana Smith
Fellow Citizens :
I am a candidate at the next August election, for
the office of Judge of this District, rendered vacant
by the resignation of the Hon. Reuben A. Reeves.
You require in a Judge the necessary legal
qualifications, high moral tone, and decision of
character, firmness and strict integrity.
By years of assiduous labor, devoted exclusively
to the law, I have endeavored to render myself
worthy of confidence in the profession ; with what
success, I refer you to the members of the bar with
whom I have been long and intimately associated,
and to the people of Cherokee County, who have
for many years extended to mo a liberal patronage.
If elected, I shall endeavor by a faithful and im-
partial discharge of the duties of the office, to ren-
der myself worthy of the confidence of the people.
Respectfully,
M. II. BONNER.
Rusk, Texas, June 19, 1802.
Col* John M arshalli
We were much shocked to hear of the death of
©ur friend. Col. John Marshall, who was killed in
battle near Richmond on the 30th ult.
Coi. Marshall is widely known in Texas and else-
where as tbe editor of the State Gazette. He came
to this State some ten years ago, having previously
been coiuieetetl with the Jackson Ms^fesippian. He
at once took the position here of a political leader
and has ever since held it.
He was a man of marked ability and most thor-
ough devotion to principle. As A politician he was
bofd and ardent, and at the same time most thor-
oughly grounded on the principles of State Rights
Democracy. On the breaking out of the war he
sought a position in the army and was appointed
first, we believe, major of the 4 th Texas, and was
afterwards promoted Lieut. CoL and finally Col. of
the same regiment. He distinguished himself in
every Held in which he was engaged, and finally
lost his life in the front of the battle.
Col. Marshall had many warm friends, and as
many thorough enemies as any man in the State.—
While be courted neither enmity nor friendship, he
never swerved prom his own path fop the one or fail-
id in his duties to the other.
Upon the altar of his country's liberties has he
fallen. To her was he chiefly devoted while living,
and she will remember him now that he has fallen
in her defence. Another Texas patriot is gone.—
Texians let his memory be sacred!—Houston Tele-
graph*
#£3* Capt. A. U. Wright, Quartermaster in Tay-
lor's (formerly Moore's Regiment, requests us to
state that he will be compelled to leave Texas for
the army on the 1st of August. He is in Gilmer
with fúnds to pay off the indebtedness of the regi-
ment, find he earnestly urges all persons interested
to call on bim, or send their claims, without delay
tor payment.—Ttxas Republican.
Capt Wright could have greatly accommodated
many creditors if, instead of slopptng at Gilmer,
and Inviting hundred* of men to ride there, ho had
* foino where' fin principal debts were contracted.
ROBBERY !—FIRE!
The residence of Mrs. Martha Rooks, about eight
miles South of Tyler, on the waters of Mud Creek,
was burned on the 4th day of this month. At that
time the undersigned lost the following notes, which
he believes were stolen from the house previous to
the fire : Four notes drawn by Henry it. Cockrel,
and made payable to me—one for $200,00; one for
$101,00; one for $75,00, and one for ${5r00. Also
one note oil Henry Kent, for $100,00, with a credit
of $40,00. The public will watch for these notes,
and inform on any one in whose possession they
may be found, and thereby detect a very dangerous
thief. TIIOS. DRIVER.
