Many of the young men Of the present
day who find an early grave are guilty OF
suicide! They actually, kill themselves
by intemperance in meats and drinks and
dissipation. They live FIVE years % one
i. e. they eat and drink as much N one
year as would serve a healthy and tempe
rate liver, five not to enlarge upon the
alarming dissipation of our young people,
which sweeps away millions to an early
grave every year. If there should not be
a speedy reformation in the conduct OF
Young people, a man of so or so should
there be such an one) willy be looked upon
in few years with admiration and aston
ishment.-U s. Gaz.

been made 70 rescue Santa Anna, but de-

A number of prizes had been sent In
by the Texan schooner Terrible. The
Texan army had moved to new en-
campment near Matagorda Bay.
A proclamation issued by Gen. Hous-
ton, at Nacogdoches, says he is induced to
believe the situation of that place unsafe,
expecting an attack from the Mexicans
and Indians. He therefore commands
the militia of the adjoining counties to be
organized, and demands reinforcement
of l45 men, until the post can be rein
forced by General Gaines.

indebted to the Hon. Joel Terrill for I
copy of the report of Capt. Williams, 0
the Corps Of Engineers, in relation to

RESPECTABLE PERsoNs-It has bee
sometimes thought difficult to define. e,
actly, the class of people that have a
exclusive claim to be considered respectd
bic. They have doubtless overcome thi
difficulty in our sister of New York, fo
we find in the Times of Tuesday the fol
lowing paragraph, which states, distinctly
! their exclusive privileges: COur:
I'VE stated yesterday, that person
l placed in the watch-house on Saturda
: night cannot get baied till Monday
E This is not always the case. Persons {
responsibility, brought before the magi'
: trates on Sunday morning, are admitted
u bail, though in most cases prisoners ar
. held over till the following day"
