Let every citizen of tho State act upon

Tue Death op a Gallant Man. Wo
briefly learn tho death of Lieut. George
Adams of tho U. S. Marino Corps. He
died at Flushing N. Y. on the 21st ult.
He was a Mississippian and a noble young
man. In tho Mexican war ho received a
severe wound which doubtless was tho
forerunner of his early death. His bravery
won for him tho merited distinction of his
friends in Mississippi who presented him
With a oword in token of their high admi-
ration of his noble conduct. Brave gener-
ous and high minded had ho lived and the
opportunity presented itself ho would have
signalized himself still moro in the an-
nals of our service. Wo feel that ono
has fallen whom we held high in our esteem
and that an aged mother is suddenly called
on to weep over the death of a fond and de-
voted son. Dear is the memory of the
brave and thrtco dear when it severs from
us thoso wo luvo known and cherished in
early years. Wo need not say how deeply
we sympathizo -with tho mother and family
of' tho deceased. Thoy have tho tender
regards of u wide circle of friends.

A company of six men encamped for tho
night iu Ken county were suddenly attacked
by tho Indians while asleep ; four of tho

These facts wc find related by the Sau

against these Indians. Nothing but ex-
termination or a quiet settlement on our re-

to them.
Cor Wm. P.' 11 ill. A friend informs
us that Col. Hill of Mardiall has removed
to New Orleans where in future he intends
to practice his profession. Wo can well
say that Texas parts with one of hor ablest

Cession gifted with a clour conception and

wo commend him freely not only for his
professional acquirements but for fldolitv to

K llio woathor in Ihe oast Is In very
opposite contrast with tho west How we
have lino dry weather. Put in tho oast
we see by the Henderson "Democrat" thai
for nearly a month past it has boon visittd
with almost a continued toasou of raiuoy
woathor. The editor thinks that onougii
rain has fallen to keep Red llivor up the
balance of tho season. Our clear green
river for want of rain is almost liko a silver
thread winding its way through tho hills.
Since penning the above wo have had
(Thursday) a very heavy fall ol rain. Wo
aro again however with clear blue heavens

Uta!r The Central Tuxian quotes tho re-
mark of a Now Orleans correspondent that
" it is truly astonishing to see on tho levco
tho vast amount of the stall'of life for ship-
inont to Texas. This is a ruinous policy
of a farming community to buy their meat
oread groconos and clothing" and advises
farmers to diversify their crops. Much
may bo dono for Texas by following this ad-
vice. Until wc got railroads however
portions of the State will always find the
N. O. markets cheaper than our own for the
articles mentioned.

us an interesting sheet and fully confirms
our anticipations of his ability lo conduct

has our hearty good wishes.
Lockiiart Watchman. The accession
of the veteran Democrat Gen. Hunter to
the "Lockhart Watchman" is certainly
an excellent and valuable one. There arc
few men whom we estcem'moro highly for

Gen. J. L. Hunter and the present worth-?
and talented editor we can say truly Cald-

Egi Mrs. Dickinsou who was in the Ala-

wore Mrs. D. her infant daughter and a ne-
