Editorial Egotism.-An editor should
never be an ego,ist. Self-cnmplacency
and him, should be foreign 10 each other.
He commits errors-palpable' errors-
every day he lives. in the journal he con-
ducts-or, perhaps, mis- -cpnducts-and
whatever he leaves uudone in The way Of
mistlemeanor,-the " DEVIL" quickly does
for him. Then. Of all men, he should be

springtime of lle-of wedding himself TO

honest heart, and earnestly devoting him
self TO The diffusion of knowledge for The
benefit of ll-he finds himself every day
less competent to The task he has underta-
ken, and more firmly convinced Of The vast
amount Of virtue, of talent, of industry,
and responsibility that is attached TO his
calling. A man who feels in this way,
will do all he can t" do right. His faults
will be forgot,en-his errors forgiven.
For
" IL to his lot some human errors fall,
Think of his heart and you'll forget them all."
However, all editors are not trained to
their calline.-Some may have dol1ed The
cassock, or it may have been stripped off
unworthy shoulders--,he avenues to "no-
toriety"-nol fame, for they are open to
all honorable men, MAY be closed to them,
excepting that one which can place them
ir the editorial sanclum, for il brief peri
oil, that they may ape "Sir Oracle" and
give forth their edicts on mallers where
their opinion CAN be Of NO IMPORT. Such
men, by dehauchery, aud intemperance
in early life-by luxurious living. and H.
centious habits, are frequently unable to
swallow cocktails" or enjoy brandy

The TOngueless Horse.-We .purposely
use the definite article in This case, for we
verify believe that the quadruped, whose
strange evenlful history, we are about 10
narratc, is the only inngueless horse in the

us that, about three weeksfsince, one of

From Teras The steam packet Co.

from Galveston, bringing dates of that place
to the 22d instant, and those of Houston 10

had arrived from England, via Brazil,
and was 10 take home freight of cotton.
She is represented as splendid vessel.
A steamboat had just returned from a trip
Of FIVE hundred miles up the Trinity river.
She found the navigation uninterrupted,
aud nigh, have proceeded much higher

sented as rapidly settling-the emisran1s
are said 10 be Of the best character, and
many are preparing 10 plant cotton the
commong season.
The Brazos Courier Of The 18th contains
statements, OH the authority of letters
from The Rio Grandc, that the Mexicaus
are drafting and embodying large force
under Filosoa. with the oslensible object
Of invading Texas. The same report
reached here several days ago. The death
Of Col. B. F. Johnson, Assistant General
of the Texas army. is announced. The
botlies of himself aud escort, dispatched
by the Government to tile Rio Grande,
have been found murdered near the river.
L, is supposed they were intercepted by
large party Of Indians or Mexicans, and
overpowered. Col. Litllebury Hawkins
(known formerly in this country as an Off
Ger under government,) has been murder

Cherokee Indians, who were instigated by

From The Charleston Courier.

Mrssrs. Editors.-- esterdav was hap
Fly day with the founder Of Hamburg, S.
G.. The citizens having understood That
he would arrive from Charleston, with
er he had gone OIL an important and sue
ces;ful mission for The welfare and pros.
pcriry of the two cities, determined TO
pay him that respect which has been won
and justly nerited.
An hour before the arrival of the cars,
the Carolina Rifemcn, a fine and well
drilled company, within whose bosoms beat
hearts ever warm with philanthropy nnf
honest independence, were seen preparing
for the glorious moment, and were soon
marched to where they took their stand
in readiness to welcome the Founder on
his return. A splendid coach, drawn by
four white horses, was provided, in which
were The Hon. Intendant and Wardens of
Hamburg, thus representing the able and
distinguished Committee, who had been
nominated, and reported so favorably in
relation to The trade between Charleston
and Hamburg all Of whom were enli-
vened by the Hamburg band of musicians,
as they played several appropriate nation
al airs.
On the arrival Of The cars, the we'll
manned cannon, on The magnificent
heights, poured forth deafening sound,
awakening up many lingering thoughts of
hope, soon 10 be realized by the uncon-
querdbe enterprise of him, who engaged
our thoughts and good wishes. Animosi-
ties were laid aside and forgotten, and
peace and friendship slept forth 10 fill the
void.
A hearty welcome being given, Mr..
SHuLTz sealed himself in the coach with
the aforesaid members, was escorted
through the principal streets by our noble
Volunte ers, all Of whom moved to the en-
livening airs of the Hamburg Band, and
proceeded 10 his mansion, where bounlifil
refreshments had been provided by some
of MIR. SHuLrz's friends, for the occa-
sion.
The sparkling glass passed around with
numerous appropriate toasts. Among
these was one given by Maj. Jos. Wood,
member Of Council.
Charleston and Hamburg, S. C.-May
they ever be united like the Siamese
Twins, and may the great natural cord
that connects them, he The Rail Road.
As soon as the evening shades had sci
in, the Heights were illuminated with nu.
nerous brilliant lamps. extending around
the rampars for one hall mile, presenting
to The spectator scene more than equal

we have read, but till now have alone
witnessed. Ever and anon, the bclching
artillery would arouse US 10 u sight beyond
Imagination.
We have seen respect paid 10 merit, aud
We have known Of professions in form,
but this day, we witnessed grateful hearts,
in unison with The enIerprising Founder,
expressing that gratitude for which he had
striven fnr these nineteen years. Happy,
thrice happy, must he be. The gloom
which SO long has overspread his ener-
gies, has dsappeared-friends are cnn-
frmed, and enemies are confounded. But
enough. Actions will speak stronger,
and prove more things for the rising great
ness OF Hamburg, than the feeble pen Of

support Col. Richardson and not Judge
Johnson, are very plain.
Our candidate must be opposed 10 n
