is an expressiou of truth us
try, nnd the beautiful photo-
,'uced by Mr. Henry Dnerr, at
ghment close to tho Masonic
Solidad st, are as beautiful as
gold*n sunbeams, as true to life as the
reflections in the mirror, and as enduring
as raonumentul stone. Mr. Doerr, is
the first gentlemftn who tools photographs
"la 8au AntOn'o, and has been engage i in
this business over seventeen years. He
certainly does possess the art of making
the pictures at onee truthful and endur-
ing*— and we would advise persons de-
siring photographs to call on him.
' £3T We have received a communica-
tion from Yorktowa, Texas, which we

ject treated therein; but if our correspon-
nt Will display as mucii energy in wri-
ig us an article, on almost any other
'iject, w# wirl gl-dly give it room in
columns.
We have received the first No. of

TUUii GfttiATN CSS.
It i« In every one'a power to be truly
great. Much that is recognized as great-
ness among men, is bnt gigantic wicked-
ness. Success, though clad in garments
dipped iu murderous blood, and frowning
dcfiance and scorn upon all mercy and
justice; yet, if upon a large scale, and
«•tfcrii'g place and wealth for subservi-
ency, thronging multitudes are aloquen',
yes, even grandiloquent io admiration aúd
praiite. That greatness which will bear
analysis, and is destined to bo raised in
triumph and glory, by a higher than hu-
man power, is composed ofeluments often
unseeu by human vision, or if seen, only
envied, bisSkd, mocked and despised.
The listless sailor boy at dead of night,
n mid ocean, surveying the starry heav-
ens above, the vsst .expanse of waters
around, and the fathomless depths below,
hss often experienced in its native pran-
dcur, tho emotion, which philosophers
have sometimes vainly labored to ex-
plain. but call the eublime. The work
ings of the divinity within, in every man's
experience, raiso him at times to un-
wonted heights—to a g'ow of benevo-
lence aud heroism of soul, clearly reveal-
ing m'ghty undeveloped energies, and
laten" power® aud capabilities, needing
only attention and cultivation, to achieve
results which would equally astonish the
possessor and beholder,
At the plough; in the work shop; in
the field or prairie, behind the counter, at
tho bar of legal justice, in the office,
whether of piivate businoss, or public
station; or wherever industriously and
honestly employed, with the high moiives
of duty and usefulness, to make adequate
provision for self and family, to bo above
want and above dependence, and to bo
able to give to him that ntedeth, there is
exhibited greatneSB worthy Of tho name.
Here is patriotism, contributing to the
strength and wealth of country, in a
m nner that might well cause tha blush
of sham to crimson the cheek of the
noisy, selfish, oñko-aeektng politician.—
When in addition to other noble but com
paratively inferior motives, ara added the
desire to please the All-seeing One, to
reflect his glory, and advance his spirit-
ual kingdom, the mind is growing in the
Divine likonees; and exhibiting the great-
ness which God honored in the case of
tho beggar LazurUB. carried by angels to
Abraham's bosom, however neglected or
lespised by the rich man, at whoso gate
he lay.
The theme ia suggestive; and we leave
it to the intelligent reader's reflections,
as he may see fit; for whatever his views
and conduct, lio and ho only must foot
the bill. To his own Master above every
one must stand or fall.
