fW The lest Herald im forms its read ere that
we have “nailed to our first editorial column, a
few statements which it challenges, and demands
proof of." But the learned editor has indulged
in so man highfalutin words, that until our new
dictionary, by the Professor Herr Tenfdsdrockh,
Von Weissnichtoo, assisted by the very learned
Paddy McFaddin O'Grundy, and which will be
out in a few days, “comet to hand, ” we shall be
obliged to postpone a comprehension of his sub-
ject ; much less, to reply to it for the time. It
may be however, that some of oar “Subs, can
elaborate” the matter daring our absence, as is
most considerately suggested by oar learned
friend ; because he knows that our prententious
are quite humble in the higher branches of “ fan-
farronade" and “caccethes.” It will give us great
pleasure to accomodate our cotemporary, when-
ever he will come down to our level. There are
some things said by our friend, in plain Ameri-
can, that we can understand. For example he
says of the navigation to Lavaca: “the work is
not progressing, and the general belief is, that
the the channel has been abandoned to its fate;’
and “the distance between the city wharves and
Galinipper cut, (only four miles,) requires to be
deepened 1” We aware of all that friend Herald,
x ou have in your place some noble fellows, and
first rate business men, who, if their energies
were brought to bear upon a business point, at
all practicable for them, would bring Buccess
from their present adversity, and “stringent
times.”
Your business men are already aware that
there is not water enough to your place to accom-
odate the vessels demanded by the trade of this
Bay. It is no Tanfarronade’ friend Herald, for
any man to say, that a ship drawing ten feet,
cannot sail in six feet six inches of water. We
have made statements as to the capacity of this
larbor and position for a town, that are incon-

Facts to be Remembered:
That Indianola beach is the only point on
the coast of Texas, where loaded wagons
from the interior, can meet the Ocean Stea-
mers.
That a Railroad can be built from the
same beach, to Victoria, forty miles, on a
grade slightly vatying*from a level, and
not a thousand dollars worth of bridge
work, required on the whole linSt
That the annual receipts, upon that line
for freight and passengers, by toagon and
Stage, are two hundred and seventy thous-
and dollars, and are increasing yearly.
That the Powderhorn wharf is in the ci-
ty of Indianola; and it is with pride and
pleasure that we note the rapid increase in
its business and prrwperitv.
trovertable. You know it. Your merchants
know it: and the Sea Captains and Bay Pilots
enow it. Any man who doubts it or wants
proof, can go out into the bay and sound for him-
self. But the large Steamers do come to our
wharf, and have in vain tried to get to yours.
Fact. You know it! Why did they not go
there. For three years your especial friends Har-
ris <L Morgan, tried to get their vessels to you and
could not, but lightered their freight to you for
nothing; and so, throwing the whole force of
their tremendous capital, experience and influ-
ence for your place and against this. Till taught
by sand bars, reefs, wrecks and delays that they
could not go above here. Depend upon it, that
it is not H. A M's. love for this piace, or hatred for
yours, that induced this step. They are not om-
nipotent, any more than you are. They canuot
make large steamers swim in a mud hole, though
their will appeals to have been good to break
down this place and build up yours, till they
At • public meeting of a portion of the citi-
zens of Indianola convened at the''Court House,
Monday evening, July 16th, the following pro-
proceedings were had:
Before the meeting was organised. Judge W.
M Varnell addressed the citizens briefly, in ex-
planation of the position hd occupied before the
people at this time, and concluded by recommen-
ding that the citizens organize themselves, and
take measures to select some person whom they
could all agree to support, for member of the
State Legislature from the Counties of Jackson
and Calhoun.
The meeting was then organized by calling
Stirling T. Seawell, Esq. to the chair.
The Chairman then stated the object of the
meeting, agreeable to the suggestions of Judge
VarnelL He also stated, that it was the wish
of a portion of the citizens present to avail them-
selves of the opportunity afforded by this meet-
ing, to set on foot some plan by which a wharf
might be constructed, reaching from the old
part of town into the “ Pocket."
On motion of D. J. Baldwin Esq., the Chair-
man was requested to appoint a committee of
five persons, to report resolutions expressive of
the sense of this meeting on the subject of the
construction of a wharf at the point designated.
Whereupon, the Chairman appointed the fol-
lowing gentlemen upon said Committee: D. J
Baldwin Esq., Mr. 8. D. Clark, Mr. John Haiger,
Gen. W. H. Woodward and Capt. EL E. Boehndr;
and thereupon the oommittee retired to consider
of the subject.
On motion of Mr. John. F. Segui,the Chairman
was requested to appoint a committee of sevea
persons, with instructions to ascertain the senti-
ments of the citizens, and report the name of
such persons as it shall appear that the citizens
can generally unite upon, as a candidate for the
' jegislature, and to report the same to a meeting
to be held at this place Saturday night next
Whereupon the following gentlemen were ap-
X)inted on said Committee: Mr. G. W. Voik,
dr. George Menifee, Col. Wm. M. Cook, J. L. Al-
len, Esq., Dr. J. M. R?uss, D. J. Baldwin, Esq.,
Capt H. B. Boehner.
On motion, the Chairman and Mr. H. Runge
were added to said Committee.

I am opposed to a Magnetic Telegraph from
Texas to the Infernal Regions, not but that it
might do some good, but simply from the fret
that the State would have to employ the Light-
ning to work it, as the communication would be
so enormous it could not be successfully carried
on without, and the expense would be too great
for us in our present infantile condition.
These fellow citizens are my views and if elec-
ted I shall endeavor to carry out As I have not
been nominated by any committee and may not
be known personally to all the citizens of Texas
I would just say I am not a Texian by birth I
did not fight, bleed and die for Texas, I did not
share in any of the Victories gained, but simply
this,that I came to Texas some years since to bet-
ter my condition, and make money if possible.
I cannot even place before my name Colonel,
and the only thing I can say that induces me
principally to offer myself as a candidate is, that
if you should elect me I would on my taking the
chair at Austin, advocate the principal of aD un-
equal distribution of the public fund, giving the
Chief Magistrate, he being the highest officer in
the State, the largest share.
Hoping fellow citizens you will view these
opinions in the sam« light that I do, and that I
shall receive a very large majority and take my
seat in the Gubernatorial chair with flying colors.
I remain the publics moat humble servant.

We are older thaft you are friend Herald, and
venture you this advice; take a boat and sound
the Bay, or take a seat and watch the light-
ers and vessels sticking in the mud near your
place, and you can find “data, to base an article
on.” But we quit the subject for the present,
and turn it over to our “subs,” or wait for the dic-
tionary.

py We decline plncing the name of Lt. Gov.
Dickson at the head of our columns, unless in
the way of a paid announcement. We presume
that is the intent to be implied from the extra
which we received from the Nacogdoches Chroni-
cle. We take no-body’s share in the battle. We
only announce for the dimes.
fW It will be remembered that a week or
so ago, we published a card for Dr. D. F. Black-
burn of Hampshire, Teun. When we publish-
ed that card, we did so with the firm belief that
the whole affair was a •‘sell.” But, having re-
ceived from the Dr. his Circulars Ac., we are pre-
pared to say that what he sends, is nearer worth
$50 than $1, and that we are perfectly satisfied.

present experienced and competent business
agent, J. De Baun. This gentleman’s qualifica-
tions are so well known that we need not dilate
upon them, nor have we the slightest doubt that
under his judicious supervision, the reputation o:'
the Arcade, as a most pleasant and commodious
hotel, will be fully maintained.
Nothing which we have read in sometime has
givon us more pleasure, than did the above no-
tice from the New Orleans Bee Mr. De Baun is
worthy, and fully competent to follow our frient
Morne in the management of the Arcade Hotel.
We would advise our bachelor friends, or those
going to the city without ladies, to give Jeems a
trial. We’ll guarantee they will be perfectly sat-
isfied# with the manner in which affairs will
be conducted. Jim is decidedly one of the most
agreeable and pleasant gentlemen of our acquain-
tance, and he seems by nature just fitted to man-
age such a delightful establishment as is the
Arcade.
The journeyman printers of Cincinnati have
formed themselves into a military company, be-
ing the first organization of the craft in the Uni-
ted Stales. A more intelligent and reliable body
of men for military service than the printers pro-
bably could not be collected.
We reckon that is a mistake. We think we re-
member to have been some four years ago a state-
ment in the N. Y. Sun, to the effect that the
hands of that office had formed a military com-
pany and that Moses Y. Beech, the great Banker,
brother of the proprietor of that paper, had equip-
ed the company—45 in number. I
C. G Baylor has for some time been try-
ing to get the cotton Planters of the South to
make direct shipments of their crops to Europe.
At a large meeting of the Planters of Mississippi,
held a short time ago at Cooper’s Well, at which
Gov. McRae presided, it seems his proposition was
received with considerable favor and some of the
individual members of a committee, who were
appointed to report ways and means, and devise
plans by which such direct shipment could be
made, formed a determination to send some 500
bales to the house in Amsterdam, of which Mr.
Baylor is the Commercial Agent, and to which
place shipments will be made, by way of experi-
ment
The Vicksburg Sentinel, to use an old fashion-
ed phrase, “ Knocks all their fat in the fire,” by
showing how nicely Hope A Co., (residents of
that same Amsterdam) who it will be remember-
ed, are creditors of Mississippi, for those famous
Union Bank Bonds, to the tune of ten millions
of dollars, could attach their crops and appropri-
ate the proceeds towards extinguishing that dis-
honorably repudiated debt
This same Mr. Baylor or a Mr. Menkins of Bal-
timore, through him, “sold” the Press of the
South; at the rate of from two and a half to ten
dollars each, last year, in the way of advertising
and printing circulars, recommending this favor-
ite project of theira, which we think they never
had the most distant idea of paying for. We
speak feelingly on the subject having been a suf-
ferer From this experience of the projecters of
.his great scheme, by which the planters would
probably be swindled out of ten times as much
as the Commission Merchants of New Orleans
are accused of taking from them, we should hes-
itate and long weigh the propriety of sending to
men who have but their mere project to recom
mend them, such an immense amount of valua-
ble property. It may be set down as a rule
.which will not “work both ways,” that any one
who will cheat the printer out of bis hard earn-
ings, will not hesitate long to take hold of larger
chances.
