they entertained no hope of being able to rescae

Rev J. *J. Curtis,Mr. Kennemjalakr IUed Gil-
bhrt, to Miss Louxlla Lyon, all of tlouaion.—
Telegruf h.
Ed. Tel.—la reading the communications in the
Telegraph, hom dlilerent Dortlons of the State, as to
who shall be cur nest Governor and Lteut. Governor,
1 see many prominent names mentioned for Gsver
*nor, but very few for Lieut. Governor.
I think tbls plan of "don't caro" who la elected Lt.
Governor, bo the right one Is elected Governor, Is
certainly a very bud one. Life la very uncertain. Tbe
Lieut. Governor may be called upon to perform the
duties of Governor, therefore he shoe Id be a "tried
man'' as well as the Governor. He should bave erer
yy and ability; and above all, we should know that he
la not only truly Southern, but tbat he will not dis-
tribute Information that be may gain by virtue of his
office or position, to disaffected parties In disaffected
localities, which wou'J te d.-leterlcus to onr cause If
known to the enemy.
Among those I have heard mentioned for Lieut,
Governor, Is Col. J. N. Dennis, of Wharton county.
Coh Dennis was a member of the Legislature for sev-
eral years before the war, and conld have remained
bo until now. As lt was an adage lu tbe lower coun-
try, "tbat tie man can beat Dennis in his ran^e"—but
at the first tap of the drum In 1861, he laid aside tbe
gown and took up the sword, and proved himself a
good soldier In the campaigns of Arkansas and Louls<
lana In '62 and '63. Col. Dennis has energy and ability,
and Is truly Southern, and no one in my opinion con id
or would act more honest towards the people and
their Interest*, than Col. Dennis—for I ,<m confident
he would expose to the Senate any conduct on tbe
part of officials that might be deleterious to tbe State,
or Confederate States—for he Is one of those that say
let the fate of the Confederate States, be the fate of
Texas. Whit more could the people of Texas require
of i L " r* - " ' "
mide
let tbera ask their Representatives tbat served with
him. If they wish to know If he made a good and
faithful soldier. let them ask the officer* and soldiers
tbat served with him.
The peotile ot Texaa would do well to canvass .the
merits of CoL Dennis for their next Lieut. Governor.

Tbe evening passed off delightfully ; Lours num-

like time in Fairy Ltnd. After the music a patri-
otic address was delivered by Miss Kitty Lancas-

childhood. On this ocoaslnn the young and grace-

- Mr. Editor.—It is tac uuty ol every good oltl-
zjn to take a warm Interest in the next election
for Governor of our State,and we see many can-
dates brought forward ad their olalms urged by
their friends. Among the most popular of then*,
we hear the name of Onteral Jim?sH. M&gnffi j.
Senator from tbe El, Htsa district. This old war-
horse ha« the ring of tbe true metal in him. lie
wilt stand the Jacksonlan lest, and knows tb«
wants of the people of our State. He haS mVtny
warm friends throughout the State, who would be
pleased ta see him get lu the white house at Aus-
tin, believing tbat there is not a more worthy man
entitled to receive rent free for two years. In
case of invasion, he would be found foremost in
the van of battle. Hurrah for Qeu. Magoffin,

United States were rapidly monopolising the agri-

Let 1< be *upposed, that Great Britain bad ao-

passible gulf of Irateraal blood between the
divided nationalities.

Gen. Williams—The Thief.—While th?
Yankees were at Milledgeville, a General
Williams and staif made their headquar-
ters at the house of a lady, who, hoping
her private and personal property would
be protected by the presence rof so many
officers gave them the best room in
the house, and dispensed the enfsreed hos-
pitality with what grace she could. Gen.
Williams promised her that her properly
should be respected, and yet, at the first
meal, he and the thieving scoundrels of
his staff stole tlie silver spoons and forks
off the table. Iu the room they occupied,
was a bureau belonging to the lady of the
house, containing a number of dresses and
I e an ab?e and*1 fat th! u'l n^bw of the ffil.Yu#! flet ^er thr««
• - Gen. Williams left, and the lady, going in-
to her room and finding the bureau locked,
congratulated herself that her personal
apparel was, at least, unmolested. Upon
opening the bureau, however, it<was found

found a key to fit the lock, and had stolen
