er part or Lollin for the lost few uaya. A negro
womau belonging to Mr. Collier had made three at-
tempts to burn down bis dwelling house at night
and was detected in the third effort. Being threat
ened with severe punishment she confessed her own
guilt and the complicity of a man named Drake
merchant living near by. She stated that said Drake
bad given her ' free papers" on several ocoasions
which she had as often burned through fear of detec
tion. Last week Drake bad induced her by promises
of freedom and of aid to escape to set fire to her
master's dwelling house and burn it 0 e the heads
of himself and family.
It seems there had been some difficulty between
Drake and Collier and the former had induced the
negro to do what he would not himself through fear.
or some other motive. When the Woman was detecfed
and had confessed she was told to go to Drake's
bouse and inform "him what she had done. She was
attended by Mr. Collier and several other gentlemen
all of whom overheard the conversation between the
guilty-parties a well as discovered the readiness of
Drake to secrete her and aid her escape. After hiding
her securely in a hay-loft where he said " all h 1
couldn't find her" he was nabbed by the other par
ty. He was tried before a Magistrate and held to
bail in bond of $8000. The greatest indignation
has been excited and it is believed that the affair
will lead to the detection of others in the country

Mia. Eliaabuth Crockett
Last week we chronicled lh doath of this veuera-
ble ai d most estimable lady. A friend has scut us
the following particulars connected with her eventful
life.
Mr. Elizabeth Crockett relict of the Ilun. Duvy
Crockett died in the 71th year of ber ago. Sho was
born in Buncombe county N. C in May 1768. Her
nmideu name was Patton. She was married to Jos
I'atton her cousin and removed with him to Frank-
in county. Teiin. He was killed fighting for his
country in the celebrated Creek War. Uy him she
had two children. Buusequentiy sue was ruuineu iu
the lamented Crockett who fed at Ihe Alamo; thus
she lost her second husband as her first in battle.
Uy her second husbaud she had three chl dren ono
sou and two daughters luioeri i-. wrovaeii uor aou
now lives in Johnson couuty. lleliecca wvira her
eldest daughter consort of Rev. Mr. Holford lives
also iu Johason county ; and Matilda tueyoungost
lives in Tennessee.
Iu 1HS5 she removed from Tennessee to Texas and
settled on lands the gift of a grateful Stuto to tho
widow nnd heirs or navy urocneu uurtieroioueieuu-
cr. It is a manor of Just pride to overy citizen of.
Texas that the widow of Dary Crockett found a home
iu her old age and after her three score years and
ten were fulfilled a grave on tho soil consecrated
by his blood the gilt ol tne country oi ins uuouiiou.
The grave of his widow and tho home of his children
wilj make Johnson couuty a place of pilgrimage to
many.
Mrs. Crockett was a member of the Methodist
Eoiscoial Church South nnd died iu the full triumph
of her holy faith. That she was a woman of many
and rare virtues tho writer ana many outers in jouu-
son county her neighbors can ucar witness.

Jiair We take pleasure in helping to du justice to
the firm of Messrs. Hanford & Browning and insert
the following from the "Diiy-Book." This houso
stands deservedly high in the estimation of Southern

Supposing thai the publication of our name iu your

regard to his political name or party. We have uo
sympathy with any attempts at iuteifereitoe with the
local institutions of the South and are iu favor oi the

nud Federal (uot excluding even the much debated

HANFOKD & BROWNING
326 & 828 Broadway N. Y.
. January 18G0.
From inquiries we have made we believe the state-
ments above are correct nnd that Messrs. Hanford &
Browning are not upholders of anti-elavery doctrines
and in the above oase only regarded it as the support
of a local oefheer on personal grounds. Eds. Day-
Book. '
Gkn. Fobdes Bbiton. Our readers have already
been advised that the Hon Forbes Briton has receiv-
ed a commission as Brigadier General and we believe
no better appointment could huve been made. Gen.
Briton arrived in our city yesterday morning and
left this morning on his way to Washington city. He
is the bearer of important dispatches from Governor
Houston to the President of the United States and he
also carries with him the report of the Commission-
ers Taylor and Navarro whom the Governor ap-
pointed to go to the Rio Grande to enquire into the
existing difficulties there and make report.
The publication of this report will be looked for
with great anxiety as it goes into the minute causes
or its origin and sets rortn clearly ine present posi-
tion of affairs; and it ha. been said that the Commis-
sioners have expressed the opinion that there is no se-
curity for Texas until the Government occupies the
ight bank of the Rio Grande.
We also learn that the Governor states distinctly to
the President that Texat cannot be invaded with im-
punity. He entertains the confident hope and belief
that the President will aot promptly and efficiently in
the matter.
He selected Gen. Briton who is the Senator from
the Rio Grande section and fami iar with that border
as also with the character of the Indian and our
whole border troubles that he might lay the whole
subject correctly before the President. The Governor
will take no definite action until the President is
heard from ; and should the General Government rail
to give that proper protection which our situation de-
mands the Governor will promptly assume the re-
sponsibility himself.
We understand that Major McCulloch has been tel-
epraphed to return to the State. When we see the
Governor callinir around him the military men of the
State and organizing the militia it look to us a. if
something oi momeni was laieneumx uu npn iaiv
when we connect it with Gen. Houston' known con-
viction of th necessity of a Protectorate over Mex-
ico Galveston .Yew 2Ut.
