The Weekly Telegraph.
With tius week the Telegraph enters upon
the Twenty-Third Tear of its existence. For
twenty-two years have its weekly issues been
sent forth to its patrons, and except in those
troubled times which tried men's souls, gen-
erally with the same regularity ss the publi-
cation day has come round. From week to
for sU this time, the Telegraph has
given its readers a history of current events,
and hss always advocated, without fear or
favor, what ita editors have believed true
and right. With very slight variations, to
correspond with ths different views of those
who have from time to time occupied the
tripod, it hasbaea andatfll inconsistent
with itself. It hss never foiled to take a
bold stand en sB political queetions, and
time haa generally proved its positions right.
Its files contain probably the beet material
for a history ef Texas extant They shown
history of the Republic and State from the
foundation of the provisonsl government in
San Felipe, in 1835, including the doings
of the first Congress, st Columbia, the re-
moval of the governments successively to
Houston, Wsshington and Austin, the wars
and campaigns, the financial troubles of '41
to ths annexation, 4c., down to the pres-
ent time.
Twenty-two years in Texas, when you
come to think of it, is a long time. It goes
heck to the day when Houston and Galves-
ton were just what MonticeUo, New Wash-
ington, Bolivar, Orosimbo. Preston, and a
hundred other towns, have been ever sines ;
back to the time when Columbia was the
capital, andVelssco the chief sea-port of ths
State; to the time when the Mexican trains
of mulee, loaded with silver, came to the
Brasoe to buy goods for the fairs; when the
Indian chased the deer and the bufislo over
the prairies, where sines, now for many
years, brosd acres have yielded rich returns
to the farmer ; beck to the times when the
name of Stephen F. Austin appears in ths
history of current events; when a boat of
names,now remembered ss those of the heroee
of Texas were living, aeting men ; ere Far-
nin and Travis, and Milam and Crockett
met their imMnwlj fete, and when Wharton
and Jack electrified brave hearts and caused
the welkin to ring again with the cry of
Liberty. It goes beck to the time when
Santa Anna and his rascaUy horde overran
the went, until many of them received their
reward on the plains of San Jacinto, and
Texas aasumsd the poeition of one ef the
Vatican ef the earth.
A volume would not besnfficient far these
reminiscences, nor a day or a week to hunt
out from the old files the salient points in the
history of there times
In these twenty-two yesre the Telegraph
hoe had its upe and downs. It has had a
circulation, weekly, ef three thouaand, and
it haa been reduced to aix hundred. It haa
been the government paper, and the organ of
the opposition. It haa had some contracts
for printing,which hsvs amounted to $75,000f
and it has been sold since for less than $5,
000. It has been through every phsse of
popularity, and aeen nearly every degree of
prceperity and adversity. It may well be
to have survived every crisis of its ex-
and ita life, to all s|ipsnreiu n. hi he

citisens of Brasoria county have the most un-

Johnson Countt, Texas,
March 13th, 1857.
Ens. Tslssaaph:—It does seem to me that
a man with " write in his soul," ought to
be able to say something, under such a head
as mine—' Buchanan.' Did yon ever see a
name that so elegantly graced the head of a
letter, or government T Such is the name of
thejpresenl distinguished Chief Magistrate
of there United States of America. It is also
the name of a very distinguished statesman,
long and favorably known to this county,
end very intimately known to the good peo-
ple of the Keystone State. But the proba-
bility is, thst you, (Mr. Telegraph,) know
them things; but probsbly you do not
know, till I tell you that ' Buchanan' is the
name of the county seat of this, the best,
most religions, most honest, most Democrat-
ic, and the most intelligent of all the counties
in the State of Texas. But, Sir, such is even
so; and you ought to see the place. I say,
(and you teifi believe what I say,) that of
an the places that has been made, this is the
prettiest, moot undoubtedly the prettiest
place upon the upper side of the earth; and
it is only necessary to see it.
In my lsstj told you that our farmers were
preparing to plant their crope ot corn. Now,
I tell you that they have planted, with the
finest prospect of an abundant crop, that I
have ever eaw. The wheat here is most
beautiful. Oh, what delight to the eye, to
ride through Johnson county, and see, on
every hand fields of wheat, from 6 to 19
inches high. Fanners apprehend danger
from frost yet; the wheat being so forward,
is much more liable to be injured by frost.
If froet should come—" a killing froet"—
wheat would be greatly injured. With a
good crop, the Houston and Texaa Central
Railroad, completed, we would find a mar-
ket, and you would find floor plenty,' cheap
for cash.'
Go on, good friend, Paul Bremend. with
the road; bring it speedily to Johnson, and
thereby do your Houston city and Johnson
county friends an inestimable favor, and im-
mortalise yourself. It's sU my busineee
here below, to cry, come,' Houston and Tex-
as Central." I want some good things so
bad, I am most froze ; and these ox teams
sre so slow, I dislike to depend upon them;
besides, wagons cannot bring them fixt& up
as they do it there in Houston—I sUude to
ouch ss [cock-tails, in winter, and juleps in
summer.
On next Monday, we have a second sale
of town lota in the town of Buchanan. Oh,
what a name, somebody said, (Who was it T
Some poet, I suppose)—there is' nothing in
a name; but there is. Have you not noticed
the pspsre throughout Texas, including the
Telegraph, speaking of the new county eeat
of Johnson T but the big name is the imatt
part of ths place; but jl am off the subject
I was going on to say, that, npon next Mon-
day, there wfll be a second sale of town lota,
and a meeting of the good Democrata of
Johnson, to appoint Delegates to the Waco
Convention. I said meetings of the good
Johnson Democrats. I did not mean to eay
M. T. Johnson Democrata ; oh no, but John-
son county Democrata. No insinuation in-
tended, for if the Waco Convention says M.
T. (.Johnson, Johnson county will say so—
particularly Gsmmcfe.
Do you ever ere the Hon. Edward Clatk,
Secretary of State t If you do, tell him to
please send up the laws to which we sre en-
titled. I sm afraid that Edward is sick,
or he £would not wait alwaya to distribute
the laws.

The Matagorda Chronicle of th* Times,
after several week's suspension, sgain makes
its appearance on our table in anew dress.
It makes a very nice appearance.
The Anniversary of the Declaration of
Texas Independence was celebrated at Mat-
agorda on the 2d inst The Chronicle gives
an interesting account of the ceremonies.
The Chronicle pays Hon. Guy M. Bryan
a high and well deserved compliment when
it says, "With a clear head, a cultivated in-
teUect, unsullied integrity and leigslative
experience, uncontaminated by local preju
dice or sectional issues, soaring far above
the paltry resources of the demagogue, he
has attained an enviable position, alike hon
arable to himself as it is gratifyin to the con
stituency he has represented."
We note by the Democrat and Planter
that our follow eitixens, Williams of the
Ambrotype saloon, and Lelaud the pianist,

The Democrat and Planter learns that the
trost laat week did very serious damage to
the planting interests in Brasoria county.
Corn, which was 8 to 13 inches high, was
all cut down to the ground. Cane, which
had a fine start, was killed down, but will
no doubt come again, and cotton made no
showing st sll.
The same paper contains another excel-
lent article on the proposed railroad.
The Tyler Telegraph speaks of the IJncle
Bon, a new steamboat, having reached Bel-
sora, in that county, on the Sabine river.—
This is the second steamboat that has ever
reached that point, and its arrival was wel-
comed with considerable rejoicing.
The Waco Statesman fears that the frosts
of Weduesdsy and Thursday nights must
have severely injured the wheat crops.
The editor of the Statesman has been to
the States, and bought a larger press than
that he now uses, and will, as soon aa it ar-
rives, enlarge his paper. We are glad to
note the evidence of prosperity of ourcotem-
poraiy.
The Statesman pays a well-merited com-
pliment to Baylor University.
The Statesman gives an account of that
difficulty about BUI Johnson. After his re-
rest he wss confined in jail for several days,
when, on Thursdsy morning last, he waa
found hung on the platform, in front of the
jail, with the top of his head shot off. The
jail had been broken into in the night, aad
the prisoner taken out and disposed of by
some persons unknown. A public meeting
of the citisens passed resolutions, and ap-
pointed a committee of vigilance, consisting
of 33 persons, to aid in sustaining order, aad
in arresting the accomplices of Johnson. The
persons appointed are among the most re-
spectable citisens of Waco. They determine
to sustain the law, and bring evil doers to
justice, and they ara supported by a long
list of the best nsmes of that town and coun
ty, who pledge their livee and their property
in the defence of the committee.
The Washington American says thst all
vegetables, ss well ss fruit, were killed by

A correspondent of the American says that
all the money ever laid out on the Brasos,

On Saturday morning, the 15th, there were
five flatboats moored at Liberty, having on

late frost. It is feared the peacheo are ru-

The Texaa Portfolio, published
monthly, at Galveston, has changed hands.
It is now owned and published by Jo A.
Kirgan, a practical printer of fourteen years'
experience, and a resident of Texss from boy-

published at only a doUar a year. It ought
to circulate many thouaand copies.

We must say to the Dallas Herald, that
notwithstanding Mr. Runnels' quiet disposi-
tion,we think he did as much against Know-
Nothingism an any other man in Northern
Texaa. We aay this in justice to the man
for what ho has done.
The Dallas Herald, of the 14th, says that
wheat is considerably bitten by the frost,
but that only the moet forward crops are
seriously damaged.
The Herald contains a humorous account
of the ruth at the Land Office at Alton, on

eutiroly agree. The editor takes nearly the
same ground we have placed ourselvee upon,
and we are glad to see so able an advocate
for there views. Like us. be oppoees a Con -
vention. We are now, and ever opposed to
aubmitting the Constitution to a Convention.
Conventions sre not to be depended on in
these days.

The San Antonio Ledger says, that while
the workmen were making excavations in
rear of Mr. Sartor's store, they found a box
containing 3,000 Mexican dollars. This wss
tolerable good luck. These dollars are
worth four per cent premium in New Or-
leans now.
The Ssn Antonio Ledger is mistaken when

The Tyler Reporter baa an account of the
meeting of the Smith connty Democracy.—
Delegates were appointed to the Waco Con
vention, and also to that to be held at Ty-
ler. Hon. E. E. Lott was recommended for
Governor, and Geo. W. Chilton, for Congress.
The Reporter blames the ' Devil' for an
article laudatory of Lem Evans, which re-

somebody besides the editor was to blame.

We never regret that we are not publish-

The Marshall Republican, a good and true
democratic paper, says that W. T. Scott,
who was recently nominated for Governor
in Marshall by a mixed crowd, and whose
nominstion was seconded by the Henderson
Democrat, wfll not do. He has not stood up
to the rack at aU times. Col Ssott, we had
understood wss a reliable democrat.
ST We were probably mistakekn when
we counted CoL Lewis out of the field, the
other day, for Governor. A friend informs
us that hia letter declining the canvass was
dated 1853. If so. Col. L. will be kind
enough to excuse haste. He is too good a
democrat, and too well qualified a man, to
be disposed of thus summarily.

Brick-Making— A correspondent
famishes the following in answer to an
inquiry recently published in this paper.
Bricks may be made of any earth
that is clear of stones, bat all will not
barn red. In England, bricks are chief-
ly made of a hazel yellowish colored
fatty earth, somewhat reddish, common-
ly called loam. According to Leibourn.
'.he earth should be dug before winter,
and not made into bricks before spring.
In general, the earth whereof bricks are
made oagbt not to be too sandy, which
makes them heavy and brittle; nor too
fat, which makes them crack iu drying.
Tempering the earth properly is the all-
es-sential secret Usiug too wuch wa-
ter makes them brittle; too much sand
or ashes or sandy esrth, makes a light
brick fnll of cracks.
Bricks made of good earth, and well
tempered, as they become solid and pon-
derous, so they take a longer time in
drying and burning. The well drying
of bricks before bnrning, prevents their
cracking aud crumbling in bnrning.
I knew a person who own?«i a tine bed
of clay, and commenced brick-making,
but hia brick came out of the kilo use-
less. The clay contained too much
gravelly limestone. He then made a
mill for crushing his clay in a dry state,
after which he conld manufacture ex-
cellent crockery. It is not the richness
of the soil, but lack of dulv tempering
that eaosre failure in bricKHBaking
