RAILROAD OFFICE, I
IIarrisburg, Texas, Ji ne 29,1855. S
NOTICE is hereby given, that the work on the
extension of the B. B., B. & C. Railway, from
Stafford's Point to Richmond, is now being
pressed with the utmost vigor by the energetic Con-
tractors, Messrs. Kyle &. Terry, with a view to its
completion to the Brazos river in time to enable the
Merchants and Planters to order their fall supplies
by that route.
The R. R. Company, anxious to accommodate the
public, have ofiered their Contractors, in addition to
their contract prices, $100 for each day the Railroad
shall have been completed prior to October 1st ; and
the public may rely upon Us completion within the
month of September.
With the completion of this road to Richmond,
the Brazos bottom and the low, wet prairie east of
it, will forever cense to be obstacles to the travel
and transportation of the West.
Ample Warehouses are being erected^ in Harris-
hare and Richmond; new roads are being opened
to Richmond, and several new bridges have been
built, and others are contemplated, over the Ber-
nard, Ac.
Stages from Richmond, and Steamboats from
Harrisburg, will rnn regularly in connection with
the Rvlro id, immediately upon its completion—
thus m.-iking m rmtiniMi route from Galveston to
Austin and all intermediate points, cheaper, twenty
four hours quicker, and more regular itnd reliable
than has ever hitherto existed—tlie advantages of
which can only be appreciated by experience.
Merchandise or supplies for the interior, designed
for transportation on this route, arriving previous
to September 'J th, can be stored in Harrisbure un-
til ordered to be forwarded to meet wagons. _ It' de-
aired, goods will be delivered at the Station six
mib s cast of Richmond, bv giving one day's notiee
to Railroid Freight Agent, or Consignee at IIarris-
burg, betwoeu -4 th August and th September. ^
The Sream!.o it and St.ige Connections with Rail-
road and the Crossing of the Brazos River, will,
perhaps, eall for the indulgence of the public at the
outset; but it is the determination of the Company
to make them entirely unexceptionable at the ear-
liest period practicable.

"THE TEXAS SUN,"
a weekly newspaper, to de pi cushed in tiie
city of richmond, texas.
The undersigned will commenced the publication
of a newspaper, in the City of Richmond, Texas,
on the first Satunlav iu January, lejj, entitled
" THE TEXAS SUN."
In embarking in an enterprise of this kind, cus-
tom demands that we should indicate (tor more than
this cannot be done in a prospectus) what objects
we have in view, as well as the means by which
said objects are to be accomplished. This, we will
attempt, in as few words as |>ossiblc.
Our aim shall be to make the SUN, emphatically
a Family Newspaper, excluding at all times from
its columns, everything opposed to a refilled and
cultivated taste, and to which the most fastidious
could object. Agricultnrc, Internal Improvements,
and the Education of the masses by a general sys-
tem of Comuiou Schools, beiug primary objects w ith
us, shall receive particular attention; but the SEN
will be strictly INDEPENDENT in Politics and Re-
ligion, as we believe that a discussion of the menus
by which the intellectual and physical resources of
Texas may be developed, to be much more impor-
tant than that of political abstractions, or speculative
theories of religion.
That a properly conducted press, of a high moral
tone, is essential to the well being of every commu-
nity, is a truism which will suggest itself to every
intelligent and observant mind: while all. who have
closely watched the progress of events in this coun-
try, will readily admit that the press is " the power
behind the throne," since the preservation of order
the prevention of crime, and the the execution
of the laws, depend more upon public sentiment, as
reflected through the press, than upon the number
or the stringency of legislative enactments; in tine,
its influence, direct or reflex, is sensibly felt by all
classes in our republic—by the statesman who
shapes his course iu accordance with its behests, no
less than by the mechanic and artisan, who consult
it more or less in the formation of their opinions re-
specting public affairs. Such considerations as the
foregoing, we trust, will secure for this enteqiri.se
the approbation and favor of the citizens of Rich-
mond and its vicinity, and prompt them to co-ope-
rnte with us in the establishment of a paper w hich
will faithfully represent their interests, and correctly
reflect their sentiments.
This enterprise commends itself particularly to
tlie citizens of Western Texas. By the timé we
propose publishing the SUN, the cars will have
commenced running regularly from Harrisburg to
Kichmond, which will enable us to publish the cur-
rent news of the day in advance of any Western
journal; added to this, the facilities afforded by a
line of Telegraph from Houston to Richmond—
a line which will doubtless be built in a short
time—and the SUN will possess advantages equal
to those enjoyed by any of the Eastern journals,
while Richmond will assume, with respect to the
Brazos and Colorado valleys, the position heretofore
occupied by Houston. •
The editorial and financial management of the
SUN -vil! be under the exclusive control of oue of
..a proprietors, R. lltUNDON Rawlings, who will
devote his whole time and energies to these depart-
ments. The other proprietors hoj>e to add much
interest to its columns by contributing valuable in-
formation, in the way of correspondence from the
various portions of the State to which they may be
led by professional engagements. When we add to
these resources tl:e correspondence of our numerous
friends :u the Eastern cities, (whose services have
been engaged.) we feel justified in declaring that
the SUN shall not fail to compare favorably with
auv paper in Texas.
As to its size and dress, we have only to say that
one of the firm is now en route to New York, for the
express purpose of purchasing Hoe's Washington
Press, No. a, and furnishing the office, generally,
with entirely new materials. Having to pay cash
for our office, and intending to pay our hands, month-
ly. with the same commodity, we are compelled to
decline the insertion of all advertisements unaccom-
panicd by tho Cash.
Subscriptions—Two dollars and a half per an-
num, in advance; Three Dollars if paid in six
months from tbe time of subscribing, or Three Dol-
lars and a half if not paid until the expiration of
the year.

CorrapMdeata .rHenry Clay.
THE subscriber being now engaged in an en-
largement and completion of his Life and Times
of Henry Clay, finds on examination of Mr. Clay's
papers and correspondence at Ashland, that his pri-
vate correspondence is of material importance as an
exhibition of his character and histoiy, and of those
portions of the times with which he was connected.
As Mr. Clay was not in the habit of taUng copies
of his own letters, they are now scattered over tiie
country in the hands of his numerous correspon-
dents, and have doubtless been preserved. No mat-
ter how private or even confidential the correspon-
dence may have been, if not of a nature to render
its posthumous publication improper, it is a very ef-
fective mode of illustrating character, and it is often
important in history. The subscriber, therefore,
respectfully and earnestly requests^j^Jl correspon-
dents of Mr. Clay whether in the earlier or later
periods of his life, in public or in private stations,
who may be in possession of original letters from
Mr. Clay on any subject whatever, not sacred to
privacy after death, that they will be pleased if not
inconsistent with their feelings, to forward such
letters to tlie publishers of tlie work. A. S. Barnes
& Co., 51 John street. New York, and they may be
assured that their letters will be returned, or sub-
ject to their order, according to instructions that
may be given.
The subscriber will also be greatly obliged for
any communication relating to Mr. Clay that may
be thought new and important, address "to the care
of A. S. Barnes & Co., as above mentioned. As
they design to publish the work in the coming
Spring, it will be seen that immediate attention to
this request will be necessary to make it available.
The subscriber will be greatly obliged to all edi-
tors of newspapers who may take sufficient interest
in this notice, to give it circulation.

ing a desideratum, the want of which has been long
felt by the reading community, and especially by
tlie people at large. No other work, much less any
other single volume, contains the complete and ex-
tended view of entire American history which is here
presented. The plan and execution of the book arc
entirely new; the arrangement of the various Eu-
ropean Provinces under tlieir respective national
heads, and the subdivision of these into separate Col-
onies and States — due chronological order being
preserved, will, it is thought, make it of peculiar val-
ue as a book of reference, and greatly facilitate a
clear and accurate know ledge of general history. Also

and revolutions; of religious dissension and perse-
cution , of the gradual extension of freedom and
civilization; and the final settlement of political re-
lations on their present basis. These books com-
prise a complete history ol the world, iu four vol-
umes bound in two.
The character of the illustrations in these volumes
is of a higher and more maguiiiccnt standard than
has ever been attempted before, being from designs
by Darley, Billings, Walliii and Doepler, and ele-

to nine different tints, true to nature, so as to impart
a close resemblance to well finished paintings.

R. R. REGULATORS, No. 3.
A mew principle in Medidme, merer before
kmown or possessed by amy purgative.
Cathartic, or amtx Bilious Pills in
use. Th* true way to Purtfy
the Blood. Let all who
hare ever taken Pills
read and inves-
tigate the Theory on
which Radtray's Rrgu-
lators are founded. They are
the most perfect Pills in *<se, and
the only Pills that possess any new med-
ical properties, or regulating powers, that
hace been discovered during
the present century.
The action of Radwcy's Regulators on the human
system establishes a new principle in medicine, viz,
that the blood cannot be purified by the direct or
specific action of any drug upon it, as an egg or
piece of iainglass^purifies our coffee. We are aware
that many learned doctors, writers on materia med-
ica, and proprietors of popular medicines, gravely
assert this doctrine and recommend their remedies
to possess this mysterious property of clearing the
blood. We deny that such is the fact, and we as-
sert that no medicine can purify the blood except
through the medium of the glands, viz, the liver,
pancreas, skin, kidneys, bowels, &c., which are
the sewers that nature has established for this pur-
pose. Radway's Regulators exert a controlling in-
fluence over these glands, compensating for any
unwarrantable action or sluggishness on their part,
by which the proper amount of excretions is ex-
pelled from the blood, *
ral state.
Radtray's Regulators
possess another important principle which no other
medicine, in the form of pills, ever yet possessed,
namely: that of tearing the bowels and all other organs
in the system, regular and healthy, after they operate.
Radway's Regulators'
are the most mild, effectual, perfect purgative, ca-
thartic, aperient, anti bilious regulating nüis ever
discovered or given to the people. They are a
great family physic for general use.
Quick and pleasant ia their action,
Mild and effectual in their operation, ,
Nerer sicken, gripe or ireukeu the system.
Elegantly coated with gum, pet feet!y tasteless.
They regulate, to a natural and healthy action,
and remove all morbid humors from the liver, skin,
bowels, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, glands, lungs,
and purity the blood by cleansing the sewers of the
system, and regulating every organ to a natural
and healthy action. Those who desire health
should search for the proper remedies to aid nature
iu ridding their bodies of disease and infirmities.
Great Mistake of Pill Doctors.
The most popular pills are deficient in ther com-
position and medical properties. Manufacturers
of the best vegetable purgative, or anti bilious pills
of the present century, have overlooked the most
importont properties that pills should possess, viz,
the regulating power of their pills. No one can
enjoy perfect health unless each aud every organ
possess a healthy aud natural action.
Their Quick Action
Radway's Regulators are prepared on the same
theory as Radw ay's Ready Relief—to act quick and
to* relieve the patient from tlie distressing ailments
that atUict the system immediately. As soon as the
regulators are swallowed they begin their work ot
regulating the system, aud exercise over the dis-
eased parts a healthy influence. If troubled with

NELLY BRACKEN,
A Domestic Tale of Forty Years Ago.
BY ANNIE CHAMBERS BRADFORD.
Read the Critics' opinion of Nelly.
A. FRESH and glow ing picture of life in Ken-
tucky, imbued with a feeling very winning to
the reader.— Winchester Virginian.
We like the preface and the book. The author's
name is new to ns, but she is evidently a writer of
promise; the story is attractive, the style easy,
graphic and graceful; there is much beauty of sen-
timent and expression, and that mingling of humor
aud pathos, like bright rainbow hues painted on
tears, which is a characteristic with many of the
masters of light literature—Fredericksburg News.
This is no dull, prosy, every day affair, but a
genuine heart and mind engrossing story; should
the publisher resort to the modern way of giving
merit to a book, by puffing it and its writer with
money brought squibs through all the newspapers
iu Christendom, we hazard the opinion that it would
not only be a really entertaining cook, but a won-
derful book, tlie demand for which would beso con-
stant aud miraculous, as to require a legion or less
of steam presses, well manned for the service.
Tlie authoress of Nelly Bracken is with us anew,
but by no means an unwelcome acquaintance. We
have in our library those more noted, but none that
we should allow to crowd aside Annie Chambers
Bradford, it matters not whether she be " sweet six-
teen," or the shady side of five and thirty. The
plot, sum and substance of this " Tale of Forty Years
Ago," we have not time or space the present week
to explain, and had we time even, it is best that
those who lmve a taste for well wrought narratives
should read, understand and judge for themselves:
The book is lnuidsomelv printed aud contains o77
pages.—Lawreuce Journal.
Weil written and interesting. A vein of deep
religious feeling runs through its pages, and the
moral it points cannot be too earnestly heeded.—
Yankee iilaile.
The tale, the scene of which is laid in the far
west, is one of absorbing aud enforcing interest, its
characters have indiuidnalities and are creations, not
fabrications; its negroes and negroe talk are life
itself; its scenes are highly dramatic, and entirely
within the modesty of nature; and in the pathos
which touches our purest and liomliest sympathies,
it is beyond any American book of the present day.
Indeed, the genuineness of its sentiment, its perfect
purity, and t he marked individuality aud trth of its
characters to nature, give it a high eminence among
the books of the day, and especially among those
which come from female pens. The authoress has
a style of her own: her thoughts take the form
which best becomes them—a sure indication of gen-
uine inborn talent, if not genius. If Nelly Bracken
be her first novel, we trust that she will soon write
a second upon a similar plot. Our readers have
heard, perhaps, of an oasis in. a desert; well, Nelly
Bracken is the oasis of the dreary desert of the
American female literature of tlie day.—New York
Courier and Enquirer.
Unless we very much misjudge this volume from
a hasty examination, it is destined to 11 mean
rank among the origiual works of American ficlion.
Its writer's name, we presume to be not nom de
plume, but genuine, and of a daughter jf Kentucky.
It is a first effort, and is one full of promise of yet
greater excellence. Its scene is laid chiefly in Ken-
tucky, forty years since, or at the days of its early-
settlement, when Lexington was but a small hamlet,
aud the Louisville of the present day had no exis-
tence. It has much of that inte'rest which attaches
to a well told tale of border, semi-civilized and In-
dian life. Its characters are well drawn and well
sustained: the story is probable, natural in its de-

This distressing and ofttinies fatal malady, will

Regulators aud R R Relief.
In all Ferers.
Radway's Regulators will prove effectual and pro-
tect tlie system against fatal consequences. If
Radway's Regulators are taken in good doses, from
four to six every six hours on the first symptoms of
fever, the patient will soon recover. No person
has ever yet died under the R R R treatment.
The Licer.
There is no medicine so effectual in curing all
disorders of the liver as Radway's Regulators. Over
blue pills and all mercurial medicine, they are
greatly superior.
They act much better and quicker npon the liver
than blue pills, aud all other liver pills, and will
not endanger the system with the injuries inflicted
by mercury.

more of a religious character, having been originally
edited by I>r. Chalmers, aud now, since his death,
being conducted by his son in-Iaw, I)r. Ilsnna, as
Brewster. Its iit> rary
character is of the very liighest order. 1 lie "West-
minster," though reprinted under that title only, is
published iu England under tlie title of tbe "Foreign
Quarterly and Westminster," it being, in tact a
union of tlie two Reviews formerly published and
reprinted under separate titles. It has. therefore,
tlie advautagc by this combination, of uniting in oae
work the best feature of both as heretofore isssued.
The above Periodicals arc reprinted in New York,
immediately 011 their arrival by the British steam-
ers, in a beautiful clear type, on tine white paper,
aud arc faithful cupies of the originals, Blackwood's
Magazine being ail exact fac-simile of the Edinburg
edition.
