The Rich Mans Daughter.

The following judicous and sensible renec-
tons are from tale of the above title, written
by E. Holden, Esq, one Of the Editors Of the
Philadelphia Saturday Courier:
sit is often said that the times are strangely
altered; and certain it is the people are. i;
was once thought honorable to abor-to be
constantly engaged in some active and useful
avocation-but nowadays it is thought homo
rabe to be idle There is complaint of the
high prices ofall the necessares of human ex-
istence, and with much truth. But if the a.
mount of idIeness could be calculated with math
ematical accuracy throughout our extended re-
public, allowing the drones only half price for
the services they might perform, which others
are paid for, it might not be an unsafe calcula-
Il ton to put down the whole amount now paid
for provisions and marketing in the Uuited
States. 1t is not little inconsistent to hear
parents whine about the price Of provisions,
while they bring up their daughters to walk
the streets and eXpend money.
In one of the great commercial cities there
resides gentleman worth from two to three
millions Of dollars! He had three daughters,
and he required them alternately to 60 into the
kitchen and superintend its domestic concerns.
Health and happiness, he said, were thus pro-
moted-besides in the vicissltudes Of fortune,
that they might ere they should close their
earthly career, be compelled to- rely upon
their own hands for a livelihood; and he could
say that they never could become wives and
: the proper heads of family, until they know
by practical experience, all the economy o.
0 household affairs. One of those daughters i:
now the wife ola governor ofon of the States
: all at the head Of very respectable families
and they carry out the principles implanted
by their worthy parent-winning and secur
n ing the esteem OF all around them. Let thu

From the ~ o. Picayune, Nor. go.
Latest from Western Texas.

Bya passenger arrived yesterday in the
schr. Messenger from Galveston, we gain the
following particulars in relation TO the Indian
Disturbances which at present agtate the Wes-
tern portion OF Texas.
Our informant states, that while at Houston
he received letter from San Antonio. dated
the l4th inst, which mentioned that the inhab-
tants in that place, both Texans and Ameri-
cans, were in the greatest alarm in conse-
ouence of a threatened attack from the Cuman'
che Indians, who had openly avowed their in
ention Of cxterminating them, in case San An
tonic was moi given up peaceably; ilthey made
any resistance neither age, sex, or country
was to be spared from massacre.
Many of the merchants and traders were
leaving for the Colorado and Brasos, fearing
that these threats would be carried into execn.
ton before force could be raised sufficiently
large to repel them. The conduct Of the land
surveyors is assigned as the principal reason
why the Indians are placing themselves in this
hostile attitude; while many Of the Cumanche'
think it is the intention of the whites to driv,
them beyond the San Sabo mountains, where i
situated their "Grand Council ROOM" arounc
which. for many hundred miles, they have fol
years hunted the Buffalo without interruption
or molestation.
Large drafts we're being made Throughout
Texas TO repel this new attack, and every indi
yidaaI ofthe proper age, who had applied 70
the rights Of citizenship although he might nc
have been in the country week, was compel
ed to shoulder his musket, and hold himself
readiness to march against the Red men, VIII
appear to be threatening the young Repub
on all sides, and who are much more formld;
bic enemies than any they need expect irol
Mexico.
The gentleman who brings this informatio
has been some four months prisoner anon
the Cumanches, and states that although the
number in all something like 10000 fghtr
men not more than 1000 are able to conce
trate at any one particular point on account
the great difficulty Of procuring provisions
He states that buffalo have become extreme
scarce among them, and that this circumstan
will materially help the Texans in repellr
any attack they may threaten. The next
rival will probably bring us full particulars.

ANTl-SLAVERY SOCIETY.

We intended to have given the proceedings of this
society last week. in ihis town readers this ed-

them got mlslnd, and obliged to defer the publ

We attended the meeting the first day and heard Col.
Miller, the abolition agent, hold forth with great zeal
on the subject of slavery and in defence Of the abolition
doctrines. lie advanced state ments as fact which
might be doubted, but he argued from them very ingen-
iously and with n tact which showed that he was mas.
ter of the subject and had il treasured up for the occa
sion. On the whole his remarks were mainly inteses.
ing, and claimed the Sderation and attention OF the
audience.
