)9*Sm notice of Capt. J. M. Smith of
Warn.
We hid a slight hail storm yester-
day morning, which cooled the air very
hattdaonwly. .
J9*0ur' friend, Dave Richardson, the
immortal "D E" of the News is spending a
day or two with us and as usual making
the most welcome visitor we ever have. He
la a good fellow, ia"D R" and if any body
denies it, he has got us to quarrel with, that s
all. ■ _ .
mb When in ordinary private inter-
eouraa of friends a gentleman does a re-
markably graceful thing,.he is worthy of
especial notice. That is so, and such was
the AmI when oar Mend A. M. Gentry pre-
l the other day, the editor hereof an
i hundred of the best cigars that
ever smoked in Houston. We are very lit-
tle of a smoker, but we have friends who
know what's what, and have learned the
way to oar office, and they all unite in say-
ing that these rolls of the weed are the ne
plus ultra, and worth at least $100 per thou-
sand at wholesale. Well. Gentry is a good
fellow, any way, and knows how to do a
clever tinny as well as the next man we care
not who he is. See advertisement.
Gaivmtoh.—The Civilian mentions the
arrival of Gen. Twiggs, Capt. McKitt.Capt.
Witters and Dr. McCormic, of the Army on
their way to attend the court-martial, con-
vened at Newport, to try Gen. Twiggs, on
chargM preferred by the Secretary of War.
Heft. Geo. W. Smyth, of Eastern Texas,
is also in Galveston.
The Civilian gives the value of exports
from Galveston to foreign ports, from 1st
Janaary to 1st April, at $610,863, of which
$496,657 was in American and $132,206 in
foreign bottoms. The imports from foreign
ports during the same time are given at
$6,227. The namber of vessels entering
the port of Galveston during the same time
was 168, and the tonnage amounted to
100,684 tons.
The News has another fine letter from
Heiekiah, abroad.
The News and the Advocate are at logger-
heads. Better let each other alone, neigh-
bors. Ton both make the fur fly to your
mutual disadvantage.
The News questions whether the Demo-
cratic nominee for Associate Judge is not
more indebted to the silence of the Civilian
than to the warm snpport of the Gazette. It
is a singular question.
GAS IN HOUSTON.
Those persons Who use most gas them-
selves, may perhaps venture the gratuitous
remark that there is gas enough in Houst on
now. If lhey.do, we give them fair warn-
ing that it will be a good joke, but scarcely
worth telling, either as original with them-
selves or as coming from us.
We have, in times past, advocated meas-
ures which we thought would prove benefi-
cial- to the city. Sooner or later, such
measures have been carried out, in one way
or anothtar. We do not presume to think
any of them have been, through our influ-
ence, but still, when a newspaper, with a
thousand readers in a town like this, has
much to say about measures in which every
one-Is interested, people naturally get to
talking about them, and and, if the people
approve, they often agree to carry them out.
We haive thus seen the court house square
fenced in and planted with tree . We have
seen more than half the blocks within thai
part of the city which is built up, also sur-
rounded with trees. We have seen the
ditches cleaned out, the streets graded up,
and the town cleaned up even better than
we ventured to hope. We see an immediate
promise of shelling Main street. We hav*
a night school foj young clerks and appren-
tices, started and continued, in successful
operation. We have seen a handsqme
Academy building erected. We have seen
side-walks paved, and, in a word, nearly
every measuft of domestic utility we have
advocated, has been carried out with mpre
or lees effect. The credit of all these things
belongs to the persons who have done them,
and not to those who have merely talked
about them.
But we now have another project, which
is worthy of attention, not only for its util-
ity, bat for its feasibility, which is the
lighting of the town with gas.
The expense of gas works for a town like
this, and laying the main pipes through the
several streets, would be about $40,000.
Of this, we have learned by correspondence,
that one-half would require to be subscribed
as stock by our citizens. On such sub-
scriptions, the managers guarantee a divi-
dend of 10 per cent, per annum. They
famish the balance of -the capital, and put
the works in operation. The cost of the
gas to won earners would be $7 per 100t.
■ cubic feet.
New, here is a chance for comfort, con
venienee; economy and progress, all in one
operation. Bersons who have ever used
gas-lights, know how much superior they
are in every respect to any other light
known. They are a saving in expense, a
saving in trouble, and an advantage to the
eyes. They are always at hand, easily
managed, and, in a word, just the thing for
lighting a house.
Twenty thousand dollars is a small
amount to he put in a stock company, and
we believe it ean be raised for the purpose.
Who wiH take the matter in hand, and pui
himself among the benefactors of the city ?
TEXAS ITEMS.
The Columbia Democrat has a column of
matter devoted to the Telegraph, on the
subject of judicial nominations. When that
paper, a few weeks ago, dropped the names
of Wheeler and Buckley, from its masthead,
and undertook to support Bell, we prom-
ised net to quarrel with it. We are still
willing to give it a chance to allow us to
rsdesp that premise, and respectfully re-
quest it far its own sake, to let the Telegraph
al6ne in this matter. Our friendship for
the editors of that paper; and kind feeling
for the paper itself, induces us to forbear
answering it now, and to forget the ungene-
rous inuendos which appear in its issue oi
the fltS, hoping that they may have come
from a not sufficiently well guarded pen.
and stay not be repeated. We a*k to not to
foree as into a position of individual antag
onism to it, or if it will do that, not to blame
us for the oousequenceef
The Democrat says the prospects for
crope is ee good as could be desired m
Brazoria. - .
The Democrat says that the Brazos river
has been up again, nearly to its high water
mark.
The Democrat says that the Monday's
storm no roofed houses, blew down trees,
demolished fences,, and generally «cut up°
after the manner of the September storm of
1864.
The San Antonio Herald is a good sized
daily and weekly paper, full of lrems. We
are glad to see it on our table. Send along
your daily, cotem.
The Herald says the storm of Monday
night, the 29th ult., of which we have traced
at Waeo, AaiUs Celumbua, Osa*
tales, Columbia, Galveston, Sac., as well as
here, assumed the form of a hurricane in
that neighborhood. It crossed the San An-
tpnio two miles below thp city, taking a
South-easterly direction, crossed the Salado
and extended to the Cibolo. Its track was
narrow. At San Antonio, the hail-storm
was very severe. Some of the hail-stones
were an inch in diameter. They riddled
the sky-lights and knocked off the young
peaches. There was an appearance o a
water-spout below town. Three miles from
the city, the stone dwelling of Mr. L. D.
Lafferty was blown down, injuring two ne-
gro children, the only persons in the house
at' the time, pretty badly. Other houses
were blown down and persons crippled.
The Dallas Herald, for March 20th and
27th, came up from Galveston last Wednes-
day mornrng. We had begun to fear we
never should see our excellent friend's face
again.
THELABOR PROBLEM—THE AFRI-
CAN SLA VE TRADE.
One of the most interesting subjects that
has for the last year or two been engaging
the attention of wise and reflecting men,
is the means of restoring and preserving a
just and proper equation between labor and
ca itol, which has been destroyed by the
vast increase of the precious metals, conse-
quent on the discovery of inexhaustible
gold mines in California and Australia. We
published some time ago. a solution of the
problem by Maj. W. H. Chase, of the U. S.
A. Major C assumed that seven hundred and
thirty-two millions J) dollars
in gold have been taken from the mines of
California and Australia in the last eight
yearsalone, and thatthe gold bearing quartz
ofCaliforniaparticularly is inexaustii)le,and
that the machinery for crushing the rock
had attained to such perfection that the es-
timated yield in California for last year
would amount to Sl^O,000,000 ! The strong
probability is that this increase of the pre-
cious metals instead of diminishing will be
augmented for the future. To preserve a
proper equilibriutn between capitol and la-
bor, of course there must be corresponding
increase of labor or laborers, not to be sup-
plied by labor saving machines. This equa-
tion Maj C. proposed to produce by re-
opening the African slave trade.
This is not only an interesting, but a vi-
tal question for the cotton and sugar Su e
of the South, and indeed lor all the South-
ern States. The demand for cotton is con-
stantly increasing, and it can only bs pro-
duced by slave labor; but the natural in-
crease of slaves now in the country is far
from being in proportion to the increased
demand for cotton. Without an extraneous
supply of negroes the value of slave labor
and the price of cotton must come to be
enormous; and yet it is a demand that must
be supplied. And now the question is, and
the whole civilized and christian world is
interested in its solution—how is this defi-
cit of slave labor to be supplied? Supplied
it will be, either by re-opening and legiti
ma'tizing the African slave trade under hu.-
mane regulations, by resorting to the im-
moral and cruel apprentice system adopted
by negro loving England, or pursuing the
smuggling system in defiance ol the natives
of England, France and the United States,
with all the untold horrors and atrocities
with which such a system must ever be at-
tended. We will not stop to argue the corn
parative humanity of the different plans at
length. Under the one, legalizing the slave
trade, with wholesome and humane regula-
tions, the business becomes legitimate iu-
stead of piTatical, and the dealer brings the
slave from his native country, bestowing up-
on him that care and good treatment that
is calculated to add to his market value;
just as he would take care to see t^at any
other species of property or merchandise is
brought in ''good order and condition."
Thus the negroes comfort and health would
be cared for under the plainest dictates ol
interest, leaving humanity out of the ques-
tion.
Under the apprentice system, for a cer-
tain compensation, the negro becomes bound
to his master for a term of years, say ten
or twelve. The object or interest of the
owner would be to get all the work from
him in that time that he can endure. It
is a mere question of physicaf endurance.
1'he result will be that at the end of thi
term of apprenticeship, those wi.n have noi
^iven way and died under the overtaxed
iiurden, will be cast off, brokeu down and
prostrated, to perish.
The horrors and atrocities of the smug,
gling system are too well known to be de-
tailed. Risking the vengeance of the law,
every available means must be adopted by
the smuggler to avoid detection and punish-
ment, and the most revolting measures and
precautious used to render the venture pros
perous.—Thus, hundreds of miserable crea-
tures are huddled promiscuously together
in the hole of the vessel, foul with stench
and filth, without air to breathe, food to eat,
or clothes to wear. If half survive this hor-
rid treatment it is a prosperous venture. On
a late occasion a-slaver having on board
1200 slaves was chased by a vessel, and in
order to lighten the cargo so as to escape
pursuit, 800 were thrown overboard to per-
ish !
Then according to every sentiment of hu-
manity, we contend that the African slave
trade ought to be re-opened. The policy of
such a measure cannolbequestioned. There
are crack brained philantrophists and reli-
gious enthusiasts and hypocritical 'demago-
gues who grautingthecomparative humani-
ty ot legalizing flie trade over the appren-
tice and smuggling systems, still urge with
fanatic zeal the abstract wrong and moral
impropriety of each plan—transcendental
theorists, or rather fools, who claim the
equality of the negro with the Caucasian
race, who cannot see, or pretend not to un-
derstand that the negro for tome wise pur-
pose of Heaven was destined to servitude,
but claim that he is qualified for freedom
tntl of right ought to be free! For such
we have no argument to offer. If they can-
not make out the true destiny of the negro
race in all its past history or read it in the
pages of inspiration, we could not hope to
convince them. If they cannot see in the
African race the descendants of Canan, who
was doomed to be a servant of servauts un-
to his brethren, we are not disposed to ar-
gue the question with them.—Dallas Her-
ald.

DIED .
In Columbia, Brazoria county on Thurs
lay the 1st inst, of consumption Mrs. Sallie
VViiliams wife of George Williams Esq., ot
Garrard county Ky. •
Our readers will remember, not many
months ago, the shock felt by the communi-
ty when the destruction of the ill fated Ope1-
leasas was anounced. Among the lives lost
at that time was the brief anouncement "Two
children of George Williams." The unwrit
ten history of thavawful event and all the
consequences that have grown out of it
would make a theme, to which volumes
would not do justice. Among the passen-
gers were Mr. and Mrs Williams and their
two children. When the boat sunk the chil-
dren, two as beautiful little ones as ever
bleBsed a household, were swept from their
arms, and they enly saved themselves by gai
ninga piece ofthe wreck.to which they clung
till morning. The exposure was fatal to
Mrs. Williams. She has lingered along till
now when her spirit has taken its flight,
and, as we have good reason to believe, gone
to the home of the blest.
We knew her Well. Her like, one would
search far and fail to find. An amiable can-
did generous and pure hearted woman is
an angel upjm earth. She blesses everything
she looks upon, and the memory of her is
pure and holy as is the memory of that wo-
man whose devotion to our Saviour will be
told wherever and whenever His Gospel
shall be preached. Such is the memory
Mrs. W. leaves with them who knew and
loved her. God in mercy grant strength to
the bereaved to bear this great affliction.
We mentioned the death of Mrs. Sallie E.
Williams at Columbia th? other day. The
following obituary we find in the columns
of the Democrat of Tuesday.
How often in this pilgrimage have we
been called to mourn the conquests which
Death has made among those who walked
with us in life, and beguiled the tedium of
our journey. How many times alas! have
we paused awhile, to lay some one we lov-
ed within the tomb, whose life was "mark-
ed wltir some act of goodness every day,"
And now, just as the soft breath of Spring
UasL wooed the generous earth, and opening,
flower, and perfumed air, and music from
the trees gladdened the soul, entranced the
senses, and filled the heart with gratitude
to Him who doeth all things well, we have
been again summoned to the grave of one,
whom all who knew her loved, and, few if
any, will forget. Mrs. Willians combined
in her character many, very many noble
and sterling qualities, and was gifted with
a peculiarly attractive disposition and en-
gaging-manners. How many who read this
poor tribute to one whose loss is so irrepara
ble, will miss her cordial greetings, the ge-
nial influence of her presence, that friend-
ship which knew no flagging, and that lo^p
which was only quenched when the pulses
of the heart were stilled, and the spirit took
wing from the "unbarred prison cell" to
the presence of its Maker. Mrs. W. was,
with her husband and two children,
among the passengers on theill-fated steam-
Opelousas, .at the time she was lost. Poor
little Kate and Jo found graves beneath the
waters of the gulf, and their mother who
has gone to meet them, is another victim of
the reckless carelessness of human life ex-
hibited too often by those entrusted with
the command of our ocean steamers. The
exposure to which Mrs. W was subjected for
t welve or fourteen hours upon a portion of
the wreck, implantedin hersystemthe seeds
of that disease which at last has terminated
so fatally. But while our hearts are filled
with sorrow, and our lids overflow with
tears for her whom the envious grave has
hidden from our sight, let us not forget that
she was ready to place her hand confiding-
ly in that of the grim messenger, to be con-
ducted into the spirit world. She had hid-
den herself in the rock of ages, and as she
walked through the valley ofthe shadow of
death, she feared no evil, for God was with
her, and his rod and his staff comforted her.
liow sweetly she fell asleep. How plaoidly
she yielded up her soul. How, even in her
last moments, the smile of peace rested up-
on her lios and made the presence of death
less awful. ,
Farewell, dear friend; a few more days
are allotted to us in the world which you
have left, but in a better land than this we
shall meet again, where separation isknown
no more. May He who in his wisdom has
taken you away, comfort the husband, the
children, and aged father left behind.
"There is a day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night;
And grief may bide an evening guest,
But joy shall come with early light.
And you who o'er your friend's low
bier,
Now shed the bitter drops like rain,
Hope that a brighter, happier sphere
Will give her to your armsagain."

The Contrast between Rotalty and
Republicanism.—A sensible ootemporary,
after speaking of the sayings and doings on
the occasion of the recent marriage of the
eldest daughter of the English sovereign with
the future heir of the Prussian crown, turns
his eye3 and thoughts to two of the "un-
crowned Kings" of our own western world,
and remarks: "quietly and without a flour-
ish of trumpets, Millard Fillmore, a man
who had held a power nobler and more sub-
stantial than that of any European mon-
arch, took to himself a bride last week in
Albany, New York. Franklin Pierce, late-
ly President of the United States, but now
a sovereign in his own right, arrives at Ma-
deria with his sick wife, and they are an-
nounced, as they wished to be announced,
simply as Mr. and Mrs. Pierce. We need
not dwell upon the contrast between the
proud humility of these men, whose own
talents and energy have made them what
they are, and a noisy ceremonial incident
to this wedding of stripplings who had nev-
er done anything and never would do any-
thing to remove them from the ranks of the
useless and expensive drones of the human
hive."'—Exchange.
Mr. Seward.—The Washington corres-
pondent of the New Orleans Crescent, furn-
ishes the following first-rate notice ofSena-
tor Seward;
I have a passion for Seward—he comes
up to my idea of Rodin in the Wandering
Jew—the most delectable devil that wasev-
er drawn by human pen—so cool, so clear-
headed, so indomitable, so relentless in the
pursuit of his fiendish purposes. Seward
traverses the seemingly tortuous, but really-
straight line of his ambition with the uner-
ring certainty of footsteps that character-
ize a rope-dancer, never missing a step,
and keeping his eagle eye steadily fixed on
the goal before him.—The b&llance pole by
which he preserves his equipoise, is that cool,
big head that bulbs out above hi* narrow
shoulders. If he becomes our next Presi-
dent, and disunion does not immediately
follow his election, I will wager that he will
so beautifully honey-fuggle both South and
North, that the people will pronounce him
one of the best Presidents we ever had. But
I begin to think there is little danger of his
obtaining the nomination. He is too great
a man, that is, if he is a man and not a dev-
il.
How as Ungovernable Temper was Con-
trolled.— Mr. Clayton, author of a book
on the Crimean campaign, met in his jour-
ney with a strong-minded woman. He says:
We next touched at Malta, taking on board
a few fresh passengers in lieu of some we
landed there. Among the new comers was
a lady of a most violent temper, so ungov-
ernable that she hated mortally all who did
not agree entirely with her ideas upon every-
thing. Her husband informed ui that just
before his marriage he was warned of the
lady's fiery disposition, and to test the ac-
curacy of the information, one evening, as
he sat next to her at dinner, he managed
cleverly to jog the servants elbow, as a
plate of mock turtle soup was offered her,
which of course was upset over the young
lady's white dress of tulle lace. No com-
plaint, nor even a frown being evinced, the
delighted suitor concluded that what he had
heard was a mistake, and that his inamora-
ta had the temper of a lamb who had been
fed upon mashed potatoes, and as harmless
as water gruel. So the marriage took place;
but soon the lady's real character displayed
itself, as is always the case after marriage,
but never before, and his wife, like a hu-
man Stromboli, was subject to fiery erup-
tions every ten minutes upon an average.
•How is it, my dear,' said the happy husbaud,
'that having such a bad temper.' you stood
the ordeal by soup so well? "Why," answer-
ed the lady, 'I may have appeared indiffer-
ent at the time, but, good heavens! you
should have only gone into my room a little
while afterwards and seen the marks of my
teeth on the bed post!'

To the Editor of the Telegraph.—Sir,
The "Richmond Reporter" having as-
serted, that a majority of the signers of the
letter to James H. Bell, inviting him to
run for the Bench of the Supreme Court
are members of the Democratic party, I
beg to ask whether in that alledged majori-
ty the names of .John B. Jones, Wm. P.
Bawlinger, Geo. W Smith, Wm. G. Hale, Col.
Gates, S. S. Menger, and John Robson
are included and accordingly I propound
to that Journal the direct question. Now
if these gentlemen, who really compose
nearly all the influential names to the let-
ter, are members of the Democratic fold,
the country should know it, and too, the
fact should not alone have reached the pub-
lic ear. through a channel so very questiona-
ble, forhitherto the Reporter has not ranked
as'of the Orthodox faith in politics; but have
transpired in a way calculated to- remove
from it all doubt. The writer is well aware
that several of the gentlemen named have
exhibited on every otjeasion the strongest
Democratic antipathies, hating thoroughly
as old Nick is said to hate holy water, and'
if now, they have come into the true faith,
as old sinners, their conversion should be
most loudly proclaimed, not only as an act
of justice to them, but as proving the po-
tency of sound doctrine. The fact would
undeniably attest, that the Democratic
millenium was at hand, that at last, con-
trary to all calculations, the lion and the
lamb were about toliedown together in per-
fect amity and concord. Woulditnot, MrCush
ing. be an occasion demanding the resound-
ing peans of the whole country 1 appre-
hending, sir, that tne Reporter may find con-
siderable difficulty in replying to my ques-
tion, I suggest to it, in a spirit of real com-
passion. a mode of escape, and I really think
it due to its own character for candor and
fair dealing that it should adopt it. It is, to
admit that the Gentlemen named, as like-
wise their anti-democratic associates in the
letter, and they are legion, acted from the
simple desire to defeat the nomination made

A kiss says a French lady, costs less and
gratifies more then any thing else.
That lady was a profound thinker.
They are getting on fast with their edu-
cation among young Ohions. A paper in
that State says there are, in a school in Cya-
boga county, out of 35 scholars, 9 regular
tobacco chewing boys and 5 smoking girls.
Go it little ue's!
A Kentucky paper talks in the following
plain, sensible English:
"There are hundreds of idle young, men
who expect to keep themselves out of the
workhouse by marrying a fortune. They
don't care for the lady, nor her beauties ol
mind heart," but they idolize money. On-
ly think of a man planting himself down,
and loafing on his wife's money. What a
thing!" ,
We do not care to comment on this para-
graph :
The wages of adult females employed in
spinning flax at Dundee, Scotland, are only
6s. 6d per week, for 60 hours, say 26 cent-
a day. Last year they were 7s. 6d. a week,
or 30 to 31 cents a day."
How true are these words by Read:
Good men are human suns ! They bright-
en and warn* wherever they pas?, fool-
count them, mad till death wrenches oppn
foolish eyes. They are not often Bung by
poets when they die; but the hearts they
heal, and their own, are their rich rewaru
on earth, and their place is high in heaven.

Strictures cured without the use of the Bougir

Dr. Jajkes would also call the attention especial lj
of those who have privately and improperly injftreo
themselves in that secret and solitary haidt whic
ruins the body and mind, unfitting them for eith
business or society* vis: Constitnnl Debility or lm

melancholy effects produced by early habits of yo u.
Tis: Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pain in th*
Head Dimness of Vision. Loss of Muscular Power
Palpitation of the Heart, Dispepsia, Nervousness.
Irritability, Symptoms of Consumption, etc. Men

dreaded. Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas
pression of Spirits Evil foreboding. Avers: to
Society, Self-Distrust, Love of Solitude, T midUj

day.
▲U branches are taught as they should be prac-
