TO the Editors Of The Enquirer.
Messrs. Editors: The death Of our late Sc
major, Carter M. Braxton, devolves upon US The
duty OF appointing his successor In the dis
trcl there are very many well qualified TO dis
charge the trust This appointment would impose;
many who would I've proud 10 represent the dis
tricI and themselves such as would do honor TO
this or any district. The difficulty will be, since
only one can be chosen, 10 let that one be The
most proper. This district would be satisfied!
with nothing less than high.minJed, honorable
and capable representative. Between such only
the choice will be- and il becomes us, then, other
things being equal, 10 have regard 10 cream
stances, viz: whether some may not have de-
gree of claim 10 this Office which would al least
cntitie them 10 first notice. One part OF The dis
lricl NAV have right 20 the Senator Though
generally 4 .ellish argument, and one which
should always give way 10 others more import
ant, vel utentimcs il should have weight as be-
tween mon equal in other things il should de.
eide. Or, in a district ST. extended as this, there
might be some particular interest, considering
which, Justice would require that representa-
tive should he selected al least sometimes, iIom
particular part OF the district.
In looking over our district, then, the most
prominent man in this view is Colin Clarke
Esd, OF Guncesier-a man conlessediy every
way qualified, not only 10 fill, but also 10 honor
and adorn this station. Able in natural endow-
men.s-highly cultivated by observation-disclosures

nominated al the last election By Convention OF
the party He ably maintained lis principles,
and spared nothing 10 accomplish wha, seemed
10 be The wish OF The party. He canvassed The
district as thoroughly as the short time would al

through some manquycring and management
which deprived him Of The votes OF his Wing

The duty Of the district TO lake him up and lrium-

Orleans Delta Of July 81. She brings US Cal
veslcn papers 10 the Gath OF July, from which We
make the following extracts.
The remainder OF the Indiana volunteers, from
The Ann Chase arrived al Galveston on The Ism
inst, on The schooner Star, from Sabine. The
whole Of these yolunteers-a about 200 in number
LEFT there for the Rio Grande on The 2Oth.
Colonel Hays' regiment, instead OF remaining
on The frontier, are ordered 10 report 10 General
Taylor. This regiment is composed Of The fol-
lowing ten companies-ihree now in SaltIlio or
vicinity hitherto commanded BY Major Che
yalie: three Western companies under Captains
High Smith, Roberts and Armstrong; Captain
Giilclts. from Lamar county; Captain kenzie's,
from Fannin: Captain Ferguson's, from Nacog-
dochcs; and Captain fruits, from Shelby. Oh
these zen companies, Major Neighbors wants two
for The frontier service. These, We understand,
viii be Tor probably already have been) drawn
Tor by lol. Besides The above. there are i've COM
panes called the Frontier Rangers, namely:
Captain Thomas |. Smiths, on The Upper TrIni-
Il; Captain Ross, on Little River; Captain
Henry McCcloch's, on lie ST. Marks; Captain
Gtunb!e's, above Austin; and Captain NJ l.
Johnson's company. These companies have
succeeded in giving considerable security and re-
pose 10 inc lionlicr-at this lme al least, we
