PUBLISHED AND EDITED BY S. "WHITING.
CTTY OF AUSTIN TEXAS!
FRIDAY DECEMBER 10 1S41.
tCj The length of the Congressional Reports in our
paper of to-day excludes all Editorial matter. Even
as it is. we are unavoidably late in its publication.
ECFVe are requested to announce Major Asa Brtic-
ham as a candidate for Mayor at the ensuing election
on Monday next.
Ujj Indian News. Captain McCullpuch with a
party of nineteen men from Gonzales has just returned
from the mouth" of the San Saba. Near the mouth of
the Llano they came upon the spies of the "Waco tribe
. of Indians and killed two and dispersed the balance.
The spies were five in number and the main body of
the tribe about twenty-five. They were pursued five
or six miles above the San Saba and the Indians then
made their escape.
e. THE PRINTER.
s I pity the Printer" said my uncle Toby.
" He is a poor creature" rejoined Trim.
"How so?" said my uncle.
" Because in the first place (continued the Corporal
looking full upon my uncle) because he must endea-
vor to please every body. In the negligence of a mo-
ment perhaps a small paragraph pops upon him; he
throws it to the compositor it is inserted and he is
ruined to all intents and purposes.
"Too much the case Trim" says my uncle Toby
with a deep sigh " too much the case."
"An please your honor" (continded Trim elevating
his voice and striking in an imploring attitude) " an"
please your honor that is not the whole."
"Go on Trim" said my uncle feelingly.
"The printer sometimes (pursued the Corporal) hits
upon a piece that pleases him mightily and he thinks
it cannot but go down with his subscribers ; but alas
sir who can calculate the human mind ? He inserts
it and it is all over with him. They forgive others
but they cannot forgive a printer. He has a host to
print for and every one sets up for a critic. The pret-
ty Miss exclaims ' Why don't he give us more poetry
marriages and bon mots? away with these stale
pieces.' The politician claps h;s specs on his nose
and runs it over in search of violent invectives; he
finds none ; he takes his specs off. folds them sticks
them in his pocket declaring the paper good for no-
thing but to bum. So it goes. Everv one thinks it
ought to be printed expressly for himself as he is a
subscriber: and yet after all this complaining would
you believe it sir (said the Corporal clasping his
hands beseechingly) would you believe it sir. there
are some subscribers who don't hesitate to cheat the
printer out of his pay ! Our army swore terribly in
Flanders ! but they never did any thing so bad as
that? r
"Never !" said my uncle Toby emphatically.
West India Mail Steamers. The line of Royal
West India Mail Steamers was to have commenced
running on the 15th inst. The first point of arrival
will be Barbadoes whence the branch steamers will
convey the Jamaica and the usual island mails as
heretofore. The steamer in the mean time will call
nt Turks' Island and be making her way to Balize
Tera Cruz and Tampico back again to Vera Cruz
thence to Mobile and back to Havanna touching at
Nassau for the mails of the branch steamers'where also
she will take in coals and make it her starting point
for England. N. O. Pic.

The name of the blind woman who was so brutally
murdered by her son in New York was Hannah
Carleton. She formerly lesided in Charlestown Mass
V
Latest from Mexico. The barque Maria del
Paz arrived yesterday from era Cruz whence she
sailed on the 7th inst. The " revolution." as every
petty party quarrel is there termed is for the present
over. The dictaUon of Santa Anna gives satisfaction
and we suppose a full week will elapse before we hear
of another revolution m Mexico. N. O. Pic.

The undersigned this day issues the (list number of the Daily
Bulletin lor the purpose of giving d.iy by day a synopsis of the
proceedings in Congress skeletons of debates which are of general
interest an. I furnishing the news of the day as it is received in an-
ticipation ot the weekty papers. To this will be added occasional
comment upon public proceedings- notices of public men and a
general and spirited presentation of events to interest the reading
community during the session of Congress.
It is presumed that the close of one Administration and the induc-
tion of another will furnish much to interest the country at large;
and.it is also presumed that accurate notices of ffln and things at
such a permd with such Iiterarv variety as may be within control
of the publisher will make the Buli.ktin a desirable visitant at the
residence of thoe citizens of the country whose avocations require
their attention at home but who feel that interest in the administra-
tion ol afijirs and the revolution of events which constitutes and
characterises the man nf intelligence.
The Buuf:ti: will contain such selections from Foreign Journals
as will be calculated to interest its readeis and every effort will be
mad'" to give it variety zest and character.
The paper as first issued will be small but as nearly all of it will
be filled with original and selected matter it will contain as much
reading material as sheets of larger surface. Should circumstan-
ces indicate the propriety of enlarging its size and the patronage
extended warrant such a course that alteration can at any time be
made. nov 27 SAM. WHITING

INFO R M ATION WANTED. "
MRS. MARY WILSON writes us from Danville Ky. under
date of the 12th Oct. requesting information of her two sons
Robert C. Wilson and John T. Wilson in Texas. She states that
John has been in that country for the last six years and has reason
to believe that while battling for the liberties of the Republic he was
taken prisoner but subsequently escaped with others. It seems that
Robert left this city for Texas on the 14th of last August on board
the Kingston in search of his brother and the distressed mother has
as yet had no intelligence of either ot her sons. She describes Ro-
bert as of rather dark complexion dark eyes and black hair; rather
spare built; about 5 feet 8 or 10 inches high and appears to be about
20 or 22 years of age. N. O. Picayune.
