0rPeople from all parts of the U. States.
are leaving their old homes to seek new and
better ones in the rugged wids of The ''Far
West" There is much good land in Texas.
but we fear that lie REAL value has been much
overrated-and that many following the de
lusive tOrch1ght of speculation, will probu
bly, rush thither, without ever properly esti-
the chances of loss and gain, incidental to
such a step. Ii will be ecolIected, thai some
few years ago Texas fever existed even to
greater extent than it does now-thal the
land holders held out great inducements 10
emigranls-how did this fever subside7---
Why, thousands rushed there 10 reap fortunes
without sweat--to sow their dimes and eap
their dolars;' but facts, which are stubborn
things, soon proved TO those Of small capital
they had made false step. The wolf Of star
yallon, as well az Of The prairie, howled at
their doors and many Of them were finally
compelled to return 10 Mississippi, thousands
Of doIIais poorer, than when they left. We
9i'SOiSig hNpO tHuL SUCH IUuy never DC the
case again. We do not wish, by these re
monks to deter any person from going 10 Tex
us-but would simply observe TO those who
have comfortable homes here, that old moth
er earth is about as hard to dig into in Texas
as che is in Mississippi.

works have favored the society with their al
tendance, on every evening that the cemsn-

tried before Judge PosEE last Saturday After a
patient hearing Of all the testimony and pleddings
in the case, the Jury without retiring from the box
rendered a verdict Ofybtrdsr IL ths first degrss.-
In The afternoon, the court pronounced sentence
to-wii: That the prisoner should be taken 10 Jail,
thence to the place Ofexecution.On the 9Th Of Jan
unary, and there, between the hours oflO A, M.
and 4 P. d., be hung BY the neck until he be
dead.
We could perceive no emotion Of fear on the
part Of she prisoner. When asked by the court.
if he had any thing to say why sentence should
moi be pronounced, be replied without any trem-
bling fvoice, that the killing Of Mr.. L. was ac
cidontal, not intentional. He probably esteens
himself quite hero.

LIGHT THE LAMPS The wings are lighting
their lamps and furnishing up their gas lights in
all directions. They are determined not to be
destroyed or decomposed either by the natives
or the abolitionists. Luther Bradish, one of the
most influential leaders of the wings of this State,
and now resident in this city, has written very
admirable letter to the "Young Mems Committee, %
in which he renews his allegiance to ancient
whig principles, and audes to certain new views
forced upon them by the Abolitionists and "na-
uves." Luther Bradish is very excellent and
worthy man, and We don't see why he should not
be the whig candidate TOR the Mayoralty at the en-
suing election. Put him up, or rather set him up
who dare knock HIM down!
