With the following caption the Dan hus"''"
Herald of the 9Th inst has a whole catalogue Vi
names of candidates for Executive and Legislative
stations. We dispense with notice oil ALL save the
aspirans for highest State honors. 1ohh lylefs
must be scarce in Texas, as it appears that the
Office of Lieutenant Governor is likely to go
begging: -
MoRE R1cHMoNDs IN THE FIELD.-It is ru-
mored that Col. M. I. Johnson will be candi-
date for Governor. Judge Evans, Judge Ochiltree,
Judge Martin, Judge Mills, Gen. Darnell, and X.
Scurry, Esq, are spoken Of as probable candidates
for Congress The office of Lieut.. Governor seems
to go u begging.
The San Antonio Western Texan, of the 9th
contains various accounts Of murders by the Ind
ians, and the pursuit and punishment of them by
the whites.
The Victoria Advocate says the slave population
Of Gonzales county has been quite doubled this
year, and that the agricultural products OF that
county will be swelled far beyond any preceding
wear. Other counties in the West have also had
their full share Of migration.
We may also add, that all accounts go to show
that the emigration to the Eastern counties, especi-
ally the upper counties of the Trinity River, has
made the population, both Of whites and blacks,
quite double that Of last year. Should the present
year be favorable for crops, we venture to predict
that the amount of exports from Texas will be
than double what they have ever been before in any
