Teras.--There is yet much uncertainty in re-
gard to the final issue of affairs in Texas. The
Mexicans have Gen. Jose Urea as commander-in
chief, and some IL or 1900 men, about ready for
another fight and Houston, it is presumed, will
be there, in time" II is apprehended that a
great battle is yet to be fought, before peace
can be established. Among the rest of the gossip
fthe day, is the silly rumor, that the Mexicans
threaten to declare war with the United States,
to capture and plumber New-Orleans C!D and
march to Washington"

Twe acknowledge our Indebtedness in graft
tude, to the several editors who have favorably
and with kind wishes, noticed the establishment
of our PRESS especially the Detroit Free Press,
Buffalo Daily Star, Commercial Advertiser, and
Spectator. We feel the propriety of the remark
of the Spectator, that this important engine Of
usefulness should be rightly used; and that its
influence in promoting intelligence, and forming
the taste and the morals of the growing popula-
ton of this interesting country, is of immense
Importance.
The Ann-Arbor State Journal, Pontiac Court

also gratefully remembered, as having spoken

All the important roads running from the east,

The great Toledo road, leading from the Maumee

to Lake Michigan, passes through this place.
This road has recently been made Mail Route,
upon which will soon bc carried the great west
ern mails; it will undoubtedly soon be one of the
greatest thoroughfares in the western world, con-
ncctinp the eastern and western countries by the
shortest possible route. The Public buildings
for Lagrange County, are already nearly COM
pleted at this place. Several extensive Stores for
Merchandising, as we'll as Mechanics shops, of
almost every description are established; two
large commodious public houses, Academy, &c.
