The Democratic Telegraph aud Teas
Register, OF the 4th alt., announces the
withdrawal from i, Of Mr.. Crugar. Mr. +.
Moore Jr., is now sole editor aud proprietor
He says 4
/ No change will be made in the character Of
the tsr..r. except that i, will he devoted morr
TO the agricultural and commercial interests OF
the country. and les. To politics. We shall con-
sequcnlly resume It's original title, emitting the
! word Democratic, which has indicated that the
Telegraph has been mainly devoted to politics.
We wish 20 render II acceptable to all classes
whou, regard TO distinctions ofparti's or sects,
and shall endcavor TO store its columns with
reading matter That will be useful and instruct
i've, as well "a interesting TO the people o!
every rank and condition.
The Telegraph, like majority OF the
papers Of Texas, has tried all sides Of the
questions arising GU. OF the Santa re and
the Slavery excitement. Ii has advocated
the " ultra ground and the abject submIs-
sion ground Up to this time it has been
Democratic NOW it is neutral and IT
ouIy mas to make one more shift, Ito the
wing ssdel to be able TO boast of having
tried as many points Of the political Zodiac,
aud advocated each as zealously, as any
other paper in Texas, save one.
The Telegraph announces two new
cases OF small pox in Houston.
The Texas Presbyterian. at Huntsville,
SAYS: Hard BY our Office are two neat
little lawyers offices going up. Whist
does it meant NC were not aware that
crime WAS on the increase in our county.
What has the editors OF the Presbyterian
done, that they should DC SO much trigh:en-
ed at the lawyers locating so near them
This cneas;ness looks rather suspicious.
In another number OF the Presbctrian,
tn. editors close a long article on the pros.
poets OF their paper, by saying pray for
us" Our first and most ervant prayer is.
that they may be delivered from the sin OF
from the evil doctrines which they now ad
voca,e); then we might. without false
pre,cuse, offer prayer Tor the circulation
OF the Presbyterian throughout the length
aud breadth Of the State
The Flag of the Union, Of April %. in
an Article on a division Of the State"
comes out zealusy in opposition to the
moyement-says 1.-The whole scheme is
altogether impoli,ic at this time" thinks i.
would bring our entire State into collision
and confusion" We don I know Of any
paper in the State which has expressed
very great desire for division, but the Flag

quite amusing now TO see the edi,o, OF this
paper come out so boldly in opposition TO
the "scheme, aud generousl y announce that
in SO doing he does not wish to smother
public opinion" but" simply give our (his)
own convictions" &c.
Tho Jefferson Herald is urging upon the
citizens Of Casa, aud particularly OF JET.
ferson, the necessity nj repairing or re.
building the Black Cypress Bridge. The
editor OF this paper has lately returned 10
his post from ramble Of five or six weeks
duration through several Of the Southern
States upon which he says
All we saw convinced Us more perfectly Of

advaniages--ihe exceeding fertility and cheap.

We take tho following from the Texas
Monument Of April 3
We learn from gentleman Of this county,
that Mexican, by III. name OF Antonio, went
