Correspondence Of the Martinsbu.g Gazette.
BATH, Morgan Co. Feb. IS, 1915.
Sir-About eight O'Clock last night,
the 18th inst. the feelings of this com
munity were shocked by the perpetra-
ton Of one of the blacklist murders
IN the annals of crime. The murder
was comitted by Nelson Hooper, on
the peason Of VIM. Brooks, an old
and worthy citizen of. this county
SO far as ascertained,, it was commit
ted without any one extenuating cir
c'mstance or the least proyocasion.-
Both of them lived in the country, and
were going home from Bath in compa-
ny with two others, and on their sepa-
ration Hooper drew a large butchers
knife and stabbed Brooks through the
heart, killing him instantaneously.
He is safely logged in jail awaiting with
composure, the penalty of the.
violated laws of his country.
Yours respectfully.

to the world in the prominent and ma
tional light of the Presidency.
With all his faults, Gen. Houston
will carry with him the hearts of the
many, whenever it pleases him to ex-'
ert his unrivalled powers Of captiva,ion.
His countenance is noble and express.
sive, despite the stony GOODNESS of al
hard, grey eye, and something of in
sincerity about the lines of his mouth.
His Ggnre is commanding and full of
a grace and easy dignity that harmonize
well with the measured cadence of his
tones and the imposing grace OF his
conversation. Few who comein direct
contact with him can withstand the
destinations of his gentle cordially of
manner. He is courteous and accessl-
bic to all, and all go away delighted
He adapts himself with equs! facility to
the taste ofprnce and peasant, to the
comprehension of philosopher or child.
This wonderful tact, this profound ap-
probation of the weakness of human
nature, has gained Gen. Houston more
friends and more reputation than his
actual achievements. His generalship
has been strenuonsly denied by his
military compeers,y yet fame has crown
ed him hero. His craftsmanship is all
negative but it has been singularly for
tunate. He does not originate, but he
almost always preserves. If he does
not strengthen, he seldom impairs. He
never formed system ofhigh policy in
his whole public career, but all contem-
poraneous wisdom seems to fall to his
account. He is so ready in turning
every favorable incident to his own ere
dit, and SO adroit in fastening the blame
of every mishap on his enemies, that
every public event IN which he is con-
nected, however remotely, brings him
new strength. No matter whether he
favors or opposes, he is sure to reap
the reward ofsuccess, and some one
che loves not" must endure the smart
of the failure. The only positive mer-
it which close investigation ofhis po.
litical life reveals, is judidious econo-
my. He has been as careful Of the re-
sources of Texas as he is of his own
a virtue of which, in these corrupt days,
he has almost the monopoly.
The most beautiful trait of his pri-
vate character is his devoted affection
for his charming and gifted wife. His
first marriage was unhappy, and en-
ded abruptly in an early separation;-
the wherefore is shrouded in impenetra-
bic mystery, but he suddenly left his
home and high station as Governor Of
Tennessee, for tent among the In ia1s.
Another change found him lawyer on
the frontiers of Texas; and the next, the
victor of San Jacinto. There is a
touch of Indian bitterness and pertinac-
ity in the comfortable and thorough
heartiness Of the hatred he bestows on
those who cross his way; but he loves
and sustains earnestly those who stand
truly to him. There is often an un-
compromising war between him and
Lamar. In some way or other he is
embroiled with most of the leading
men ofthe republic, but he manages
his quarfels SO dexterously, that he has
the vantage even in defeat. To attack
Gen. Sam Houston is like coming to
blows with Torpedo.

MR.. POLK. AND THE WIGS. 4
What strange set of fellows the
Wings are' and how easily pleased
aches deteoted! When the Baltimore
Convention presented "Jilnmy Polk"
to the people, they sneeringly asked,
"acho is he?' and declared that he was
not fit for a Commonwealth Attorney.
The PEOPLE, however, having deter
mined that he was worthy Of occupying
the presidential chair, "a station grade
higher than States Attorney the
Wings then asked" Whot IS he?" and
in answing This question, they find out,
what they were unable to ascertain be-
fore, that Mr.. Polk is tolerably clever
fellow, after all-that his views upon
the subject of the tariff agree substan-
tally with those entertained by Mr..
Clay and the Wing party, per se-that
the measures of his administration are
destined to be thoroughly Whig-and
;hat they look forward to their consum-
nation with as much complacency as
they would have done had their cham
pion been elected. Even the Editor of
he Richmond Whig-the veritabIe
John Haanpdea Plea>ants-(the Wing
is the grand organ of the Federal party
in Virginia; don't forget that -speaks
iavorably of Mr.. Folks Inaugural Adj
dress, and attributes the direction which
his administration must take, to the
fact, that the Wing orators, during the
late presidential campain, tonpiaced
The people that the sentiments Of tho
Uhigs are right, and those Of The
Democrats acrong! Quite a logical
deduction! A plain man would natu-
rally ask, why then was Mr.. Clay not
elected?
But, never mind: The Wings find
few Crumbs Of comfort in MIR. Folks
Address, and the Democrats find no
fault with it-"We are all Federalists
all Repub'icans'';; we are all Dem.
ocrats-all Wings.
The truth of the whole matter is this:
Mr.. Polk has not given any Indication
that the measures of his administration
are to be, or must be, as the Wing in
sinuates, essentially Wing; on the con-
trary, the line of policy which he has
marked out, perfectly agrees with the
sentiments of the Democratic party,
and is exactly adverse to those of the
Wing party upon every great national
question, and especially does he differ
with Mr.. Clay, (who is the great Fem-
bodymen,' of Whigery, upon the ques-
tons ola National Bank, Distribution,
and Assumption. Mr.. Folks senti-
ments were so perspicuously defined,
so we'll squared by the Constitution,
his arguments so logical and clear,as to
set at defiance the criticism OF his OPP
ponents. Since, then, the Wings can
find no fault with Mr.. Folks sentiments,
what else can they do than approve of

TEXAS, U. STATES, ENGLAND.
We cow below from the Richmond

We copy below from the Richmond
Enquirer, COPIED by that paper from
the Washington (Texas) National
Register,') the official letter of the Bri-
fish envoy, addressed to Mr.. Jones,
late Secretary of State, and now Presi-
dent, of Texas.
The reader will readily perceive the
imminent peril in which the fate of the
Lone Star Republic would have been
Incidentally involved, had not Con-
gress acted decisively upon the subject
at Its late session. The import of Mr..
Elliou's letter is, that because his
Government was engaged in continued
efforts to induce the Government of
Mexico to acknowledge the lndepen-
dence of Texas therefore, 'the Gov
eminent of Texas could not entertain
the subject of annexation. The plain
English of which is, that because the
Government ofAher Britannia Majesty
sought to lay her lion-paws upon Tex
as, by paying Merico to acknowledge
her independence, the Government
ofthe U. States had no right to make
overtures upon, and Texas no right to
entertain, the subject of annexation
for if one branch Of the proposition
stated be admitted, the other follows as
corollary. Every rejecting mind
must see the naughty, wonton assump-
ton of superiority of power, and prior
ity of right to act, modestly claimed
by, and plainly inferable from, the let
ter of the British envoy; and every true
American heart must feel indignant
that the organ ola foreign power should
lnterferein ina question of vital importance
to her, and upon which her right to act
is unquestionable-a question upon
which, indeed, our government has pri-
ority over EUROPEAN powers to act,
both from her geographical position to
Texas, her political sympathies with
her, and the great interests involved in
the future destinies of that republic
Transfer Texas to the borders of Great
Britain-suppose her revolution and
its consequences to have affected Eu-
ropean powers on|y-then the character
and bearings of the question are rever-
sed-it would be EUROPEAN, and
not an American question, and its ac-1
QUESTION by the latter might secure
to it great advantages; yet, the imme-

permit that of the U. S. to entertain
the question of annexation with Tex
