The EVIL OF THE AGE.-Ampliication is
the abounding sin of the day-the curse Of
official productions-the lethe that browns the
press, the bar, the hustings, the bench, the
pulpit, the legislative halls. This evil is
well hit off in ine article-Cockburne
Memoriais-in a recent North British Review;
"Year after year there appear bulky tones
from London, New York and Edirburg,
containing more printed matter than was
sufficient previously for centuries of legisa.
ton, in which, in the smallest possible type,
the bit of gold is beaten so very fine that it
sometimes becomes invisible. Of course,
the only escape from this ponderous mass is
that Of passing it BY. Except the unhappy
reporters, there was never human creature
who taveled it through. A slave, convicted
of murder, was offered the alternative of Ell
ther reading from beginning to end Guieciar-
dn's History of the Wars in Italy, or the gal
leys. He stood In suspense only for mo-
ment-he took the latter. An alternative
equally frightful might have been put to him
had the modern publication of legal reports
been at the time in existence. 1t is not the
merely the length, bu; the number and vari-
ETY. of judicial opinions--the result of the
crudest as of the maturest thought-which
unsettle the law aHd imperil every decision
when it afterwards comes TO be reviewed..
The Supreme Court decisions of Alabama
are numerous and ponderous enough to fill
one with desire TO enjoy the galleys
in preference to being compelled to read
them all.-HuntSuiHe Advocate.

INDIAN HosTnIriEs IN TExAs-The fol.
lowing from the Neuces ('rexas) Vally, Of
the Gath ultimo, indicates most distressing
state Of affairs in Webb county Texas:
LoREDo, WEBB Co., Jan. Is, 1857.
The Comanches are all around us in
strong force, and the utmost Indignation
prevails among our citizens that their lives
aud property should be left exposed by the
General and Stale Government to the tender
mercies Of the savage The prospects OF this
part of Texas were excellent till the late
withdrawal Of the United States mounted
troops invited down the murderous at
tacks of the Commanches. Within month
twelve men have been killed near this, whilst
attending to their stock'tarms, and general
breakup is taking place among our farmers
in consequence of the outrnges still contnu
ing. The mail from Davis ranch is just in,
and brought the following notice 10 the
postmaster, accounting for its deay
CARRIzo, WEBB Co., Jan. 7.
The mail has been delayed on accoun: of

Pcnned by cherished hand.
VIII you go and bring them, sister,

Come mp closer to me, sister,

For my tide Of life is ebbing,

Read them over, love, distinctly,
That lose not e'ena word,
Tell him, sister, when you see him,
That never ceased to love.
That |, dying prayed to meet him
In better home above;
Tell him that | ne'er upbraided,
Ne'ct word of censurc spoke,
Though his silence and his absences
My heart had well.nigh broke
Tell him that watched his coming
Nhel the noon-ude sun was high,
And when nj eve the angel.
Lit their star lamps In the sky,
And when saw hc came not,
Tell hun thai did not ehdc,
But that | ever loved him
That blessed him when died.
When IN the graves white garments
You hsye wrapped my form around,
And have laid me down to slurnber
In the quiet churchyari ground,
Place the pictures and he letters
Close against my pulsele-s heart,
We for years have been together.
