MT Wo learn from Col. Wise-
man that recent depredations have
been committed in San Saba county
bytho Indians, and that but very
few horses aro left .in any of the fron.
tior counties. That a party of
some hundreds of frontiers-men had
agreed to bund together and drive
out or destroy the lleserve Indians.
Wo await, with somo impaticncc,
farther reports.

05?" They "still keep tho pot bi-
fitig" at Austin. In relation to the
charges for printing, we will say
that over since we havo known any-
thing about tho trade, and all will
agree that has been a long time, we
ha^o ucver known it to be other-
wise than to ohargc twice for rule
ftod figuro work. The compositor
charges twice for "setting up" such
work, and it has always been the
custom for tho publisher to charge
twioo lor it.

OS-In conversation not long
.ainoe with a citizen of our county
relative to the amount of "water
privileges" of Bell, it was sugges-
ted by Mm. that there were proba
bly something liko 1,000 creeks,
springs, &c. We named the mat-
tyr to our friend M. W. Damron, tho
Assessor of tho county, who told
US that ho supposed there was not
any ouc man who could toll of nil
the "live streams" of woter in the
county, but that he believed there
wore not less than 2,900, counting
from Little River down to the small-
kit spring branches-—and that ho
Vai ¿very reason to believe Bell
U tho best watered county in
the State.

Tho tfow Orleans papers aro
filled with accounts of the terrible
disaster of the Princess.. Wo have
punished an account given by tho
Baton Rouge Gnsette. There are no
names of Tcxians, except Mr. Wil-
.liani of Houston, who wo under-
stand saved himse|f by clinging on to
ft cotton bale by his teeth for hours,
when b<> , was picked up by a boat
ooming up the river-, his hands wote
badly scalded. Many of the suffer*
ers aré friends and acquaintances
Of oors, and it fill's our heart with
griff to read their names among
thfttmelftnoholly.list. Many of the
killed and severely wouuded we have
known from boyhood.
J9T Last Wednesday morning, a
fat, remarkably bspjiby looking
'German Boy, of probably 12 or 13
yoars of age, came into our office
and presented us a printed begging
paper, representing, that ho, Mr.
soincbody, (wo havo forgotten tho
name now) started from tlio Fader*
land "some time ago, in 1858 proba-
bly, with his family, some $4,000
worth of jjoods, and $2,00(' in cash,
with a view of settling and doing
business in this great and gellorioui
republic, bat that "unfortunately
when about 40 days out the ship
was discovered to be on fire, &c ,"
and the upshot was Mr. (12 years
old) had lost his all, and that his
wife and childrtn were now destitute,
and he had couio alj tho way up
hero to Belton to beg the humane
and benevolent to give him assis-
tance. Tho little man of family,
could not understand' us when we
asked him u few questions as to the
how and whereforo of tlio matters
retailed in his petition, but very dis-
tinctly understood what "work"
mennt. No, no, he did not want
that, ho "vantod a leetlo inonish."
We havo been informed by those
who know, that unprincipled mon
in tho northern cities, and iu New
Orleans, have these printed begging
documents on bund, ready cut and
dried, and on the payment to them
of about $1 each, any man, woman
or child is furnished with a ship-
wreck, fire at sea, cast-a-way, or
what ever kind of a begging story
they want, ready-made, and they can
coiniueuco business at once; but by
somo lintowni'd accident this little
German Gent, got hold of tho wroug
document. He hud a cloth wrapped
around his head, for tho purpose we
suppose, of convoying the idoa that
he was sligfrtly unwell; but that round
rubiennd, and even jolly faco of his,
gave tho lie emphatic to any im-
pression of the kind, at least to our
mind. He is a precocious yonng-
Rter, to say the least, and wo hope
ho may bo al>lo to raise tho wind
high enough, from tho pockets of
"the benevolent" to rescue "his wife
and family of 4 or 5 children" from
tho depths of poverty, into which
thóy are now plunged by the loss of
that $4,000 worth of goods and
82,000 cash.

Wo have observed, that in the
very Lest wheat made last ycai in
our section of country, a small round
bean is plentiful. Iu one lot of
bushels sent to Ayers" mill last Sat-
urday we think there was a peck
of those beans. They cannot be
separated from the wbtat by any
means now used by milters or plan-
ters in this country. The smot mill
will destroy the trash, smut, SíC.,
&c., but the beans will como down
with tho wheat, and are ground np
witli it, bolted with it, and notwith-
standing the flour is of the very
best quality; there is taste of par-
ched peas to it. This cau be reme-
died. IIovv? Let thoso who have
got threshers have "separators" at-
tached to. them, and let those who
intend purchasing Threshers, buy
none which have not tho separator
attached. These machines will de-
tach every thing from tho wheat and
precipitate it clean and free from im-
purities into tho receptacles placed
for it. Unless something of this kind
is done iu a few seasons our flour,
in its pure state, so sweet and
delicious, will be entirely uselefs.
OS" Trouble, it is said never
comes singly. Within the past
month, we have read of tho great
firo at Housttn; the explosion of
the Princess; a great fire at Mem-
phis, Tennesse, by which 60vcn
printing offices, and other property
to the amount of $100,000 has been
destroyed; a great fire in Now Or-
leans by which several lives were
lost, besides numerous other melan-
choly destrnctivo accidents and mis-
fortunes.

19* We learn from an advertise-
ment in the "Gazette," tjiat .wo are
to have a mail direct from here to
Gatesville, weekly. This is a
"consummation most devoutly to be
wished."
MW Many of those who suffered
by the )ate late destructivo fire in
Houston, are personal friends and
patrons of ours, lwt with none are
our sympathies so keenly aroused as
for George Perkins, George was
in early youth au apprentice of ours
and was very much esteemed by
our family. Ho had, by his own in-
dustry and elose attention to busi-
ness, got together in the shape of a
Job and Newspaper office, one of
tho best assortments oí material iu
the State; but by this one fell swoop
all or uearly all has been destroyed.
There was no insurance on bis office,
and his loss must bo borne by him-
self. It is hard, very hard; but wd
know George has a big spirit, and
we command to him tho motto's
of Jacob Faithful which wo have
long since adopted as our own:
"There's no uso crying," "What's
donecau'tbo helped;" "Better luck
next time." Thoso mottoes, friend
George, havo beeu a great comfort
to us; many times coming into play
sinco we came into Texas.

19* We mado u visit to Mr. F.
Aye re' Mill, ou Saturday last. Mr.
A. has had a largo and substantial
ferry boat put in the Leon, at his
mill, and those who havo heretofore
been compelled to travel some Six
or eight miles to get grinding done,
cau now, by means of this""boat, get
to mill within two or three miles.
Mr. A- has also made a g.eat many
iinpvovphunifii, Willi on It¡«3 mill unci
tho grounds surrounding it. He has
employed an experienced and care-
ful ferryman for his boat, who wil
put ull pcrons going to mill across
free. As to the mill, it is only tie*
ccssury to say tlmtMr. James Blair
has chargo of that department, to
have it distinctly understood that is
properly managed—for it is well
known that "Uncle Jimmy" is one
of the very best millers in this sec
tion of country. We have tried the
flour made there, and can conscienti-
ously say that it cannot be beaten.

(EF~ We hf^vo heard reports from
various gi-clious of the country, to
the effect, that the eggs deposited
by the grasshoppers last Jail, aro
now begining to hatch out, and that
loara are cuterjtai;)cd they will do
our our growing crops much dam-
age. We cannot think so. It is
a well established fact, wo believe,
that as soon as those marauders arc
largo enough to fly, which they will
be. at two or three days of age, they
will rise up and be off. We must
not "cross the biidge until we get
la it." If :hey do eat up our crops,
we hare the satisfaction of know-
ing that wc have yet time to plant
more—not wheat it Is trac—bot
but tlirrc are other crop which will
answer just as well f« r bread. But
■'sufficient for to-day is the evil
thereof," is our motto.
When the grasshoppers have ea-
ten up the crops we will say so, but
do not think wol'l nave that to say
this season.

I. O. G. S. & D. of S.—Wo arc
much pleased to learn from a letter
from Rev. Jno. Collier of "Bosque"

For tho express benefit of
the County Chrks of Lampassas
and Coryell counties we make the
following extract from the last law
relative to advertising estrays.
"Each county clerk «hall cause a
statement of the appraisement and
the description of tho animal or an-
imals so estrayed to bo advertised,
at least threo times, in somo news-
paper published in tho county whore
such animal or animals were estray-
ed, if there bo one, and, if there be
no nowspaper published in the coun-
ty, then tho clerlf shall causo the
same to be advertised in tho news-
paper published nearest to the
county."

more thankfully received because
you were only known to me by

If I appear a little vain it is only
because I feel so, from having ree'd

Cupula.
We lenmcrf the other day from
Messrs. Bramlet & Co., that our
Court House was to have nothing
but the pyramidal roof coming to a
broad poiutand ending there. Now
wo may be a little proud—and in
this matter wc will not make issue.
Imt we do think that our Court
House should be capped with some-
thing that will not bo weather-worn
and colored in two months. Who has
not been in old dilapidated towns and
seen buildings of this character
without thu slightest ornamental
brush; and who has ever spoken a
word in praiso of the style;. A cu-
pula or Btccple would add more to
the looks of Belton, make a better
impression upon strangers than any
one thing that could be done with
the same expense. The cost will
not bo much, and if the County
Court is not nblo to havo it done,
let individual enterprise finish what
the Court has no so nobly commen-
ced. Not' a man would refuse to
pay something; but wo think the
Court cun do it. Let us have some-
thing that will reflect the rays of
j light and glisten more in the seven
months of sunshine, than weather*
j beaten Cypress boards. Wo remem-
ber when a boy, when the day came
for going to town, how we would
stretch our necks and peer with our
eyes to see the Court House steeple
when within a mile of the town, and
we well remember that tho ambi-
tious gaze was not confined to boys,
formen would talk and wo would
"look. We say have a Cupola by all
means.

Salado, Bell County, Tex. í
March 14, 1859.)
Mr. Editor:—I see in your issue
!of March tho 12th, a proposition or
j call, for tho Dv.uouracy of Bell coun-
ty to meet in their respective pre-
cincts on Saturday, the 19th inst,,
for the purpose of sending delegates
to the County convention, to conic
off in Belton on tint 29th of this
month, which is all right and proper,
but I cannot seo the utility of these
primary meetings for sending dele-
gates to the County convention,
for the County convention will
havo to select tho Delegates to the
Houston State Convention. Would
it not be better to have a mass mee-
ting or Convention on the 29th of
this month iu Belton. and save time
and trouble in sending Delegates to
the Houston State Convention and
leave off tho Precinct meeting? I
believe it is customary with the
usages of tho Democratic party to
havo a County convention; give a
general expression of opinion by
iireambleaud resolution in regard to
'Yderal and State policy, and in-
struct the Delegates for their 1st
and 2nd choice for State officers and
Congress. I ain no stickler for
modes or plans, therefore I acquiesce,
and am for sending a voice from
Bell county to the Houston Stato
Convention on tho 2nd day of May
next. 1 am in hopes that tho Dem-
ocracy will turn out to a man at
the Primary meetings, and the Coun-
ty convention will be fully and ably
Represented. That a unanmity of
feeling and provuil during its delib-
eration.
Mr. Editor,> tho question will nat-
urally ttrie'o in the County Conven*
tion who they will instruct for 8tate
officers and Congress. As there will
be much speculation ir the piinda of
the people, win ought to be the nom-
inee of tho Stato Convention, per-
mit me sir, to suggest the name oí
the Honorable John Henry Brown,
of Belton, as a proper person for tho
County Convention of this County,
to instruct their Delegates in Coun-
ty Convention, to uso all honorable
means in the Houston Stato Oouven-
tion to procure the nomination of
Mr. Brown, to represent this Con
gie^sional District. In doing so
they will only rofloct tho will of the
people of this County, as I believe
he is their first choice. Should Mr.
Brown be the recipient of that nom*
ination to represent us in Congress,
of U. S. I feel no hesitancy in say-
it will meet with general approba-
tion of four fifths of the voters of
the District. Ho is too well known
in tho State and District, for mo to
say anything commendutoty of his*
vory superior talent and ability to
represent this District in the Con-
gress of tho U. S. A VOTER.

Mr. Editor:—AS a citizcn interes-
ted in the welfare of Belton, and
especially tho School, I must say
that there is a lack of facilities for
very little, or any improvement in
Penmanship. I, notice when I go
into tho Church,,only two desks up-
on which pupils can write at all—
and only four to each one of those.
The teacher informs me that ho at
tempted to fix upu few last summer,
but was not able to complete what
the school required. Indeed when
1 consider he buys wood, pays
house rent, &c., I doubt if it should
bo demanded at his hands.
Children must learn to write. It
is just as essential to have the
means of communicating ideas as it
is to accumulate the same. The
citizens have shown a disposition to
do what was right by patronizing
the School, but something else is re
quisito. I am willing to paying an
equal share with any number of
citizens who will agree to assist in
the matter. The expense will be
too trifling to speak of when shared
by all. The teacher assures mo that
lie is not able to havo the work done
himself. If this cannot be done let
the parents furnish their own chil-
dren with something upon which to
write. CITIZEN.

A Perfect Sliawer of Aces.
I see a mighty funny poker game
on the Massissip, a gain' up from
New Orleans.
There war four old coast French-
men, all sugar planters, just sold
their crap, an I got their pockets
full of rocks. They went it strong,
I tell ye They'd got their backs
np. Captain Whiskey had got
a powei/ul grip on 'em, and ef they
war'nt a bumpiu' it "hark from the
tomb!"
At last they went to the bar to
stretch thai- legs and wood up; and
tvhile they were gone, I see a mis
chicvous lookin' chap .a changiu'
thar papers.
"Keep shady," sez he, a winkin'
to us, that war standin' round the
table, "and you'll see tho old boy
lise directly."
Back comes the chaps, the kcerd"
were dealt ronnd, and I sec thai-
eyes a snappin'; but all a tryin'to
look powerful solemn.
A "blind" war bet, and up'spoke
the next hand,
"I seo ze blind, and bets bet-
tail-."
"I see zat and go fifo dollar."
"Twenty better zan you—ah,ha!"
"Sacruy toenails! ven hundcr bet-
tail- zan you."
Oh, ginger! such a sliellin' as
tlmr war to bp shua! and when the
dimes run dry, they drawed drufts
on New Orleans, and give notes nil-
till they'd bet all they were worth,
and when tho hand was.called eve-
ry man slaps up four white uccb,
and dove for the pile, and such a
yellin' and cursin' and sacrayin' as
thar war when they diskivered how
they had been sold?
The deck on tho tabic war all
nci.'B, and as it were half deck po-
ker they were playin, every man
gut fivo aces, and thinkin' another
ace had crawled into the pack some-
how, thry all ketchcd one and kept
the others,
One run for his pistols, another
pulls out his knife, and if they'd on-
ly diskivered who served 'em out,
thar'd be'en a mighty slim chanco for
him; but they went on so that tho
captain had to interfere, and shut
'cm up.
