CuAPPoRAL.-The word chapporal occurs
in the news from Texas which we publish
AS that is rather new word with our rea-
ders, and as il may occur again, andis i'm
portant as illustrating the "seat of war" we
think it proper to say that a chapporal is a
term applied TO species Of evergreen thick
ct, composed of the musquit bush matted
with vines. 1t generally grows abou! six or
seven feet high. The whole country be-
tween the Nueces river and the Rio Grande
is more or less covered by this chapporal, in
terspersed with salt lakes. There is very
little fresh water OF grass TO be had in any
portion of the whole intermediate distance,
averaging one hundred and fifty miles
wide.

Bold without B is near allied to sage,

Hard fate it is that he who has Brogue
Without thy friendship, must be deemed a

We learn, with great pleasure that this gentle
man, long and favoraby known for his efficient and
valuable services in the Post Office Department un
der Mr.. Van Buren,, and particularly for his early
support of lew hostages, which he was the first tc
suggest in his able report to Mr.. Kendall, has beer
appointed by Judge Grier clerk of the circui
court of the United States for this circuit, and will
take his place in few days. Mr.. Pitt is gentle
man Of excellent capacities and fine address, and
cannot fail to make popular officer. The intei
gence Of his appointment will be received with gren
pleasure by his numerous political and persona
friends Ptnnsyipanian, Nou. H.
[The extraordinary demand made upon our col
umns recently by the voumnous official dispatches
from the army have prevented us from noticing tn,
above appointment, announced in such deserved
terms ofpraise by the "Pennsylvanian." Mr.. Pitt
we need not add is most favorably known in the so
cal and political circles Of this city, where he has
many warm and true friends to congratulate him on
this deserved appreciation of his many estimable
qualities. We feel well assured that a more faithful
and efficient officer could have been nowhere found
and that his appointment to this pleasant though
responsible place, will meet with general approba.
