An0ther annexation. The Austin, Tex
as, State Gazette, of the 18th inst, says
BY late letters from the Rio Grande we
learn that a strong demonstration is about
being got up in Sonora and Coahuila in
favor Of independence from Mexico and
annexation to the United States. Some
parties, we understand, are now in CORES
pondence with the friends of the Revolu-
%tionists in the United States, and that the
work is privately going on of preparations
for a formal declaration of independence
at a time not far distant.
Fatal accidents. We learn that Mr..
Danl. q. Warner, Of Moore county, was
killed very suddenly last week at a log
rolling. He and others were carrying a
log on hand sticks, when, from some cause,
the log fell and one of the sticks struck
him on the head, ca using his death in
about an hour. He was a young man,
and his unexpected death will cause sor-
row aud gloom in a numerous circle Of
relatives and friends.
We also learn that Daniel Mcintosh
was drowned a few days ago In Richland
Creek, Moore county, while attempting
to cross it.
Another. A man named Mcdonald

the wagon passed over him, causing
wound which it is thought he cannot pos

Ewes Right y

We would earnestly urge every friend of
the temperance reform to be on the alert
The season is now at hand for active and en-
ergetic work. But few weeks remain until
it will be known who are the candidates in
the field, asking the freemen of the State for
seats in the next General Assembly. When
they are once in the field the complexion
Of that body as regards temperance favor,
can be conjectured with tolerable accuracy.
See that the right kind of men are nomina-
ted in your respective political conventions.
Attend to this matter yourself and do not
wait for the busy public to attend to a mat
ter in which you are deeply interested, trust
ing in good faith that all will be right. Go
into the convention to be held for your coun-
ty yourselves, and let your voices as temper
ance men be heard there and let your disap-
probation be felt then if a ticket is proposed
hostile to the reform. See that men are
brought out who are friendly to the republi-
can principles embodied in the platform
adopted at the last session of the Grand Di-
vision, and who are willing to vote for a law
submitting this question to the people-to
say whether they desire the traffic in intoxi-
eating drinks in their midst or not. As
equitable as this proposition evidently is,
there are politicians in this State who would
oppose it to the bitter end, and some such
will be nominated and some will be elected
members of the next Legislature. Attend
to this matter at once-don't wait until the
nominations are made and then croak about
the opposition to the temperance cause. Go
into your party onventions-keep eyes right,
speak-act-votc there, and your sentiments
will be respected.
