EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS.

The close of sharply contested political campaign
is always welcome moment to these mentor tho
their direct labors no greater for a limited time
than thousands of our active committee men, yet
their varied responsibilities and multiplicity of cares,
which none but the experienced in the same business
know of, and of course which others can possibly
appreciate, make their task most oppressive. The
mere writing for and printing the paper is the smallest
part of their labors They must read every, thing
hear every thing and inquire out every thing having
any bearing upon the concerns of the election, and at
the same time not neglect their private affairs. They
must be up early and stay up late, and answer all de-
and still keep the ball in notion" The correspond
ence of an Editor at important point, and during
exciting election, is alone sufficient to occupy
considerable portion of his time. Then there are ad
dresses resolutions, and documents Of all Sorts which,
if he does not have hand in preparing, he is often
obliged to attend to in some form. And what is his
reward? If he be an honest politician and sees his
triumph, he gets amply paid; this is all he has
a right to demand; but he often gets censures for
some things left undone, some trting errors-and
if in his efforts for the common welfare of the party
with which his interests are identified he will not be-
come an instrument in the hands o., a few, he finds
his motives assaulted, and the very things imputed to
him which he wishes to prevent. This is the lot Of
every political editor of every party-he s esteemed
by the ambitious as good pack-horse as long as he
draws well, and does not indulge in any fancy which
may interfere with their aspirations, even make any
to the weight and character Of his load

B,...Aar. n 1srna-The rexna Sentinel Of

ButcAsry IN Tsras-The Texas Sentinel Of
March "a, gives the particulars of a bloody
ARRAY, which occurred at st. Antonio on the
10Th. 1t appears that body of 90 Indians
arrived at st. Antonio, bringing Miss Lock-
hart, little girl, captured by them year
and half before. They said they wished to
see if they could get high price for her, and
if so they would bring in all the other prIs-
oners, one at q time. AS the Indians had
previously agreed to bring in all the whites
held by them in bondage, ID in number. Col.
w. G. Cook, the acting Secretary of War,
thought proper to take hostages for their safe
return; and to accomplish the plan, two
companies of Texan troops were ordered up,
one of which marched into the Council room
where the warriors were assembled, and the
other was placed in the rear of the building.
The chiefs were then told that they were
prisoners, and would not be released until
all the captives held by their tribes were re-
stored. The chiefs now made rush for the
doors, and drawing their knives, stabbed two
of the soldiers. The soldiers, in return used
their fire arms, and ~ or Ii of the chiefs
were Immediately shot. In the mean time,
the company in the rear of the yard was at
tackled by the warriors, who fought with des-
peration. The Indians were driven into the
Stone houses, from which they kept calling
gle warrior alone remained, and refusing ev-
cry offer of life, killed and wounded Lum-
Der of the Texans, when the building was
fired, and he was shot as he passed the door.
A small number succeeded in gaining the
opposite side of the river, but were pursued
by party of mounted men, and all killed
with the exception Of a renegade Mexican
In ALL 35 warriors were killed, besides 2 wo-
men and three children; 81 women and
children, and 2 old men, were made prison
ers. On the part of the Texans, 7 were kill
ed and wounded.

that it would do more injury TO cut it up by
the roots than TO let il stand reformed and
corrected. On this point, his opinion and
that of Mr.. Van Buren,, expressed in his
last message, coincide precisely. He also
gives it as his opinion, that the adoption of
the independent government treasury would
be very salutary measure, and not among
the least in eflecting bank reforms. 1t is
his opinion also, that the general govern
ment, if not already possessed Of the pow
er, should be Immediately clothed with it,
TO compel all the states in the Union 10 adopt
Uniform laws on the subject of the denom-
nations OF notes that banks may issue, and
the general regulation Of these institutions
throughout the Union. This is the only
practicable method we can discover of ever
getting rid of the paltry small notes issued
by New York and some other states, and of
securing US a uniform and sound currency
throughout the entire Union.
On the subject Of the Improvements, the
Governor recommends the most rigid econ
omy, and that no new works be commenced
and the question of the immediate prose-
cution of the works now in progress he sub
mits to the Legislature. He expresses it as
his decided opinion, that taxation is the on
ly effecIual mode of replenishing the treas.
ury at the present time, but leaves to the lie.
gislature the determination of that question.
A new apportionment bill to be passed by
tho Senate and House of Representatives,
he also, recommends, as well as a method
of selecting jurors, which shall prevent the
jury box from being filed by political par
tizans with their own creatures.
The other general interests of tile Com
monwealth are very properly and judiciousy
recommended 10 the consideration of the
Legislature and the public. This Message
is one Of considerable length, but from the
great variety and intricacy of the subjects
Of which it was necessary the Executive
should treat, it was difficult 10 have made it
shorter. The interest is preserved through
out, and every one will pFeceive, by refer
ring 10 the Message itself, that it contains a
greater mass of general information on the
condition Of this Commonwealth and the
country at large, than was ever embodied in
similar document. 1t is strongly marked
by the well known characteristics of Gov.
ernor Porter-inteIllgence, fearlessness, in
dependence and honesty.
